“Elizabeth took such great care of my little Tater Tot! I ended up needing her support more than I originally thought I would, too, and she was so flexible and accommodating. She also was very communicative and clearly understood how much my little guy means to me. Thank you Elizabeth for being there for Tater and me this weekend!! If I end up back in Key Largo, I will definitely be in touch.”
“We had four young golden retrievers in our daughter’s wedding. Kyle did a fantastic job helping us watch them during the wedding and taking care of them for the night during the reception. We will definitely book again when returning to Key Largo, Thank you for keeping our babies happy and safe Kyle!”
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience in animal rescue and rehabilitation, I have devoted my life to the health, happiness, and comfort of pets of all kinds—from tiny bugs and birds to beloved dogs and everything in between. As a lifelong dog owner and passionate advocate for animals big and small, I specialize in at-home pet sitting that goes far beyond basic care. My background includes providing tailored rehabilitative support for a wide range of ailments, ensuring every pet receives attentive, knowledgeable attention that prioritizes their individual needs and well-being. When you entrust your furry (or feathered, or scaly) family member to me, you can rest easy knowing they’re in the hands of someone who truly understands and loves animals deeply. I focus 100% on their physical recovery, emotional comfort, and daily joy—whether that means administering gentle care for post-surgery recovery, managing chronic conditions, adapting routines for senior pets, or simply providing the love and playtime every animal deserves. Your peace of mind is my priority; I treat every pet as if they were my own. * Daily Care: Feeding, medication administration, walks/exercise, playtime, and maintaining your pet's routine. * Home Oversight: Mail collection, plant watering, light security checks, and waste cleanup. * Updates: Daily photos/texts/emails about your pet's well-being. * Specialized Services: Senior comfort care, puppy care, or handling specific temperaments/behaviors. * Emergency Response: Immediate action per your instructions, including vet transport if authorized. * Additional Options: See "Fees for Additional Services and Senior Comfort Care" section. I have a full-time organic pet supply website and love to share my time hands-on with pets of all kinds. Part time availability. I have been in property management for years approximately 18+ I have been in Rescue and rehab for pug specific rescues and all breeds for 20+ years my abilities are very broad, but I particularly am very zeroed in on what your pet needs and enjoys, and is physically enthusiastic and capable of doing. I love to combine your relationship with the enthusiasm of that special visitor when I come to care for them. I make a great teammate to your Pet Care.
“Gabrielle took wonderful care of our dog Rocky for three days. She was an excellent communicator and sent pictures and updates regularly. Rocky is a shy dog and she brought him out of his shell quickly. She Played fetch with him multiple times a day and gave him snuggles. This is the best experience for our family. Definitely will be using her in the future!”
“Abi was great! She watched our home, our two kitties, and our 10 month old puppy for an entire week, no small feat! And she managed everything like a pro. She sent pics every day, kept us updated on how they were doing, and did little extra things as they came up. I made a pretty long care sheet for everything and left it on the counter and she followed it to the letter. We will definitely be reaching out the next time we have to go out of town!”

“Alicia connected extremely well with our dog and took great care of him while we left town for the weekend. She was able to administer medicine successfully. She also communicated with us throughout the weekend, sending pictures and updates of how much fun they were having. She stayed the weekend to give our elderly dog extra support and took great care of the house by cleaning up after herself. We are thankful that we met and found someone who is respectful and cares so much for our dog.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Newport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Newport on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 348 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Newport walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Newport maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Newport choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
