Abby did an amazing job with Charlie. We would definitely recommend her and will use her again if we're in the Key Largo area. She beat me to communication every step of the way, was timely in showing up to our place to watch Charlie and sent us videos and pics throughout the day. I have nothing but good things to say about our first experience using Rover. Thank you Abby! We know Charlie was in good hands and his long nap this evening shows he had a great time while we were out.

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: I've never not had at least one dog or cat growing up. Experience with caring for many types of dogs and cats within all ages and sizes. I am currently working as a freelancer so I have plenty of time to care for your pets on which ever days and times you need. I can easily crate dogs if needed. Can follow a set feeding schedule or free feed pets. I am used to having high energy dogs and cats that want to play all the time so can definitely entertain them with lots of toys, walks and company.

She was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she went above and beyond in caring for Sandy as if she were her own. She made sure Sandy got plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, and it was so clear that she genuinely cared about her happiness and well-being. Her daily updates were thoughtful and detailed, always including the sweetest pictures that instantly put my mind at ease. I could tell Sandy felt completely comfortable and loved, which meant the world to me. What truly stood out was her attention to detail and kindness; she didn’t just care for Sandy, she also took the time to leave the house exactly as I left it, which was such a thoughtful touch and really showed her professionalism and respect. It’s rare to find someone who combines reliability, warmth, and genuine compassion so effortlessly. I’m beyond grateful for the care and love she showed us. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in the best hands possible. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat and will absolutely be booking with her again — she’s truly one of a kind!

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.

About: I had the good fortune to retire early at 53. Recently moved permanently to Key Largo. I have the time to properly care for your fur baby in your home or do walks or drop in visits. I’m not doing this to make a living. I’m available because I love dogs. I treat them like they are my children. I’m extremely honest, dependable and trustworthy. I like to teach each dog something as I interact with them. I enjoy training and highly encourage play and exercise. I’ve had dogs all my life. Many different sizes and breeds. I promised to love, protect and care for every one from the first day to the last. I will do the same for your furry friend every time I care for them. I can watch any kind of dog, young, old, energetic or chill. I’m retired and my girlfriend works from home. We have the time to watch your fur baby every day without distractions. Can provide care during weekdays or weekends. We keep our puppy inside our house. Will do the same with your pup. We exercise her on walks around the neighborhood and runs in the back yard. We can exercise your pup on or off leash depending on your preference.

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life (29yrs old). I have helped countless families and friends take care of and train their pets. I am an animal lover to my core; your pet will always be in safe hands when in my care. I DO NOT PROVIDE SERVICES FOR PET OWNERS NORTH OF THE FLORIDA KEYS. I am exclusive to the Florida Keys and can provide services from Marathon to Key Largo. As a retired Air Force veteran, I have a lot of time on my hands. I am available Monday through Sunday at any time needed. I am here for your pet! I can crate your animals if needed, take them on walks, let them play outside (if you have a backyard), and I will give any amount of love and stimulation to the pets if they want it. I can follow any diets or diet restrictions that your pet may be on. I can also tend to disabled animals as well. Anything that you and your pets may need to feel the most comfortable.

About: Hi! My name is Albert Hernandez! I'd be taking your furry friend for multiple walks a day and feeding them according to the schedule you give me. I've had dogs my entire life, and I even grew up on a farm! (we had six dogs!) I love dogs and really appreciate having them as company. I'm currently a full time student, with all of my classes being online, so I have plenty of time to take special care of your family friend. It is a pleasure to be able to take care of your fur babies and making sure they truly enjoy their stay away from home. From years of experience my girlfriend and I know how to make sure your pup feels at home.

About: Raised with a pittie and boxer! Always had pets in the home from big to small. I work as a zookeeper at a private zoo/sanctuary with animals such as big cats, small wild cats, canids, birds of prey, and primates. I’ve had to raise some since they were babies, and have had to care for some at an old age I currently switched over to only volunteering at the zoo! I’m available anytime! My schooling is online so there would be no inconvenience! I try to be active during the day so your furry friend will definitely be a part of that My complex is fenced and dog friendly! I have a cat that does get along with dogs and other cats as well but if your furry friend doesn’t that’s okay! They can be in their own space if needed. I will follow your instructions to a T and if I need to reach out to you I certainly will, I will also send little update pics of what your fur babies and I are doing!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 340 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newport. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
