House Sitting in Newport

About: Animal Shelter Enrichment Volunteer, Stephanie "Stevie" is experienced with managing the special needs of high-anxiety and/or reactive dogs. She has rescued and rehabilitated 3 dogs of her own, and 6 cats. She is an active volunteer at the local animal shelter, helping with adoption events and enrichment activities. Stevie has been a pet-sitter since she was 12 years old. She started with plants and birds, and now 20 years later, can work with any animal, including ones that require bottle feedings, complex medication schedules, or homestays up to 2 weeks. Farm animals too! Chickens, ducks, and goats! She was a camp counselor for 3 summers and also conducted a work exchange at a homestead farm for 1 summer. She successfully worked for Trusted Housesitters but has switched to Rover for more local opportunities. I work remotely part-time and have a flexible schedule that can meet all of your pet's individual needs. 24/7 care and attention for your animal! I understand your home is your sanctuary, and I aim to leave it as if I was never there. All poops are bagged up and properly disposed of immediately. All water drops or pee piddles are cleaned up with pet-safe sanitation spray. The door locks are always double checked upon departure. I send pictures of your pets happy and healthy during every visit.

“Amanda was great! She is clearly experienced with big, strong dogs and handled ours with confidence and ease. We especially appreciated how much she walked our dog. It made a big difference. On top of that, she is very personable and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend!”

“I am new to hiring a dog sitter to care for my sweet Ginger. However, I believe I have found my forever pet sitter. Thank you Ashley for sending me pictures of Ginger while I was away. It really put me at ease. Folks, Ashley made me feel is comfortable in leaving Ginger in her care. I love the fact that Ashley came over before my trip to meet and spend some time with Ginger. Also Ashley's price to watch and care for Ginger was so reasonable! I look forward to planning my next trip knowing Ashley is there for Ginger.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since high school and bring decades of hands‑on experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. I’ve cared for puppies/kittens, seniors, given diabetes shots, changed diapers, and handled everything from Sheepdogs to Chihuahuas. I have two small, friendly dogs, a senior cat, and a fully fenced backyard. If your pet is dog‑and cat‑friendly, I’m happy to host them short‑ or long‑term. I truly love animals of all kinds. I am happy to come over and check on your baby, take them for a walk (or stroll), throw a ball or play light flashing, or even daycare for them at my home. I work from home all but two days a week and can modify that as needed. My job is flexible so I am able to take breaks and work my around your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and am able to care for your baby as needed. My job is flexible so I am able to take breaks and work my around your schedule.

About: My mother and I were golden retriever breeders from 2000 to 2008. I have owned multiple dogs throughout my life. I have helped friends by sitting for them. I now have four cats. I am currently unemployed so I am fully available right now. Please reach out to me as soon as possible. Thank you so much. Peace and Love. I am very careful and loving with animals. I will write down all the instructions for every animal. I understand that every animal is different in its own special way.

About: I have been watching dogs sense I was able to drive. I’ve grown up my entire life with dogs and cats. I have a pup named Prince he’s a good boy. I love to meet new pup friends and take care of them as if they were mine. I am a full time student but I am online so I can walk or take out your pets whenever it’s needed, but i do work a part time job. If my assistants is needed just text me and we can set something up! I first want to meet the dogs and go over the do’s and don’ts with the owner. I value the comfort and trust from the pet and owner over everything.

About: I have 2 senior dogs with special needs so I'm familiar with administering medicine & the extra care that older babies need. I've cared for many dogs & cats over the years and love them all! I'm currently working part time in the afternoons. I have my mornings, evenings & nights open to help care for your pets while you're away. Since I have many pets at home, I'm currently looking to care for pets in your home. With frequent check-ins about their care, you'll always be updated about how they're doing!

About: Animal lover by nature, my connection with animals started as early as I can remember. I carry a deep reverence for them, often connecting more easily with animals than humans throughout my life. I’m trained in wildlife rescue and experienced with all types of animals, and I’m also trained in reiki for animals. My own family includes cats, a dog, a frog, a fish, and a snake, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and care needs. I move with calm awareness and responsibility in every situation, and I treat animals like family, your pet is guaranteed to be cared for with true intention, presence, and love. I work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my routine around their needs, whether that’s playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship. I also have a basement apartment space if a pet needs a calm, separate environment away from other animals. In addition, I have a fenced yard on a 1/4 acre lot located on a dead-end road, which provides a safe and quiet space for walks and outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep the animal comfortable and stress-free. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I move with calm awareness, making sure the pet feels safe and at ease in their own environment. I also keep the home clean and respect the space fully while I’m there. My goal is to maintain consistency for the pet and give the owner peace of mind knowing their animal is cared for with intention and attention.

“Kyle was great! He took such good care of our two dogs, taking them on multiple walks a day and giving them tons of affection while we were out of town for a few days. He took great care of our home, even washing and changing the guest room sheets before we returned. We definitely will use his services again. We highly recommend him.”

“Kristen watched one of our dogs while we went on our honeymoon. Our dog has some anxiety, so I was a littler nervous leaving her with someone she didn't know. Kristen did a great job, though! She sent us pictures daily and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to watch our precious baby. Thanks, Kristen!”

“Nathan was wonderful. He sent photo updates, was responsive if I messaged and took great care of our two Great Danes. Finding a competent sitter for large dogs is hard, but Nathan was great and they loved him too.”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I was young!! I grew up with a dog and would watch my neighbors pets while they were at work or out of town! I am in my last year of college and have had the opportunity to dog sit many times during the last 4 years, it brings me so much joy to get time with pets since I don't have any at home. I am willing to help in any way asked by clients! I am a full time student but I am free most of the day. My schedule is very spread out so I am able to let dogs out between classes every week day. I am also free most weekends and would be available any weeknight to stay the night with pets. I am willing to take care of your pets in any way that I am asked. I think that it’s very important for me to follow pet owners instructions on how they want their pets to be watched and I am willing to follow whatever schedule I am asked with clients pets.
