“Allison took care of our girls while we were out of town for a family vacation. She was fantastic with the girls and communicated with us regularly. We supremely appreciate that she kept them happy and safe!”
“Heather was wonderful! She sat & spent time with my kiddos, and provided pictures each session. Makes me feel so much better having someone I can trust there for my babies when I have to be away!”
“Angel was super attentive to my cats while I was away, and coordinated with me through complicated travel schedules to make sure they would get the care that they need! I’m super thankful for her 💙”
“Tess is the BEST! We enjoy her thoughtful updates while we’re traveling, and our sweet Willow loves her to pieces. Can’t imagine a better walker or drop-in sitter. ❤️”
“Taylor is the best cat sitter we have ever had! She is so attentive and communicative. The kitties loved her instantly and she gave very detailed updates and tons of pictures. We will definitely be using her services again!!”
“Corey is the best! He has been regularly dropping in on my two pups for a few weeks now and they absolutely love him. He is reliable, punctual, and just has a kind and calming presence. He knows and understands dogs well, and that experience shows. I would trust him with my pets any day!”
“Saul was great with our dogs! He asks a lot of questions and makes sure to do exactly what you want. He clearly cares about the dogs. Highly recommend”
“Haley is an amazing sitter! She is very conscientious and communicative. It is easy to tell that she cares about the animals that she is watching - she goes above and beyond to make sure that they are safe and happy. Her communications are clear and helpful. I will certainly contact Haley the next time that I travel, and I recommend her highly to anyone in the Cincinnati OTR area.”
“Wolf did an INCREDIBLE job taking care of our babies while we were away! They took the initiative to stop by before we left for an introduction and to get to know us, which left me feeling completely confident in them. We got a great little summary every day of how the visit went and several silly pictures each day of the cats. Wolf was such a treat and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a competent and capable pet sitter!”
“Megan was great! Very consistent with care for my cats, always on time and it was clear that my cats were comfortable while I was away! I would definitely rebook! She also took out my trash for me to make sure my house wasn’t smelly from cat food :) I appreciated her being responsive and being great for my cats!”
“Nicole is awesome!! Apollo loves when Nicole comes over to take him for walks! She also sends the best pictures of him while I’m at work! She even braves the snow to make sure he’s taken care of, a real gem! Couldn’t recommend her more!!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs for my entire life! I’m apart of several animal rescue organizations, so I’ve received special training on topics such as trauma-informed sheltering. I’m currently working full-time with a VERY flexible schedule. I work from home (downtown) for most of the week, and live close to the office. Your furry friends will receive a lot of attention from me while you’re away! I’m able to be in the home with your animal(s) for the majority of the time you’re away. I give them extra space for the first little bit, so they can get to know and trust me. Their happiness and comfort is extremely important to me!
“Johnnisha will definitely be someone I contact again about checking in on my cat! Very friendly and obviously cares about animals. I appreciated her sending some pictures of my baby when I was away!”
“Once again Tori was phenomenal with Trevor! He’s an old grumpy cat, but she is amazing with him!! She gives us detailed updates and goes above and beyond, it lets us have such immense peace whenever we travel that he’s in good hands!!”
“We continuously book Susan whenever we travel. She is so thorough, thoughtful, and kind every time. It always brings us peace of mind to know our cats are well taken care of when we are away. She is so responsive and attentive and always leaves us a detailed summary of each visit, which makes us so happy to review at the end of each day. We are so happy we have Susan and so are our cats!🐱💘”
About: I grew up with Weimaraners 🐾 — and thanks to some very patient parents, a few determined (and slightly sneaky 😉) cats 🐱 and other little critters 🐹 made their way into our family too. With nearly 35 years of devoted “cat mommying,” Princess 👑 — my Norwegian Forest cat — is my current fur baby and reigning queen of the house 🏡✨. My schedule is fully flexible 📅, which means your pets are never squeezed into a busy day — they’re the priority 🐾🤍. I maintain their routine in the comfort of their own home 🏡 so they feel secure, relaxed, and genuinely cared for 😌✨. I’m passionate about animals of all kinds 🐶🐱🐾 and committed to providing attentive, personalized care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved 🤍 — and have a whole lot of fun 🎾🦴✨ — while you’re away. With decades of hands-on experience, I understand everything from daily routines and medication to reading subtle feline moods like a pro. I don’t just “check in.” I provide intentional, tailored care designed around your pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s a structured walk, enrichment playtime, or calm companionship for a senior kitty or dog, your pet receives focused, one-on-one attention. You’ll receive thoughtful updates, beautiful photos, and clear communication — because trust isn’t optional. It’s everything. Peace of mind should come standard. Boutique care. White-glove attention. Your VIP pets become my VIPs. 🐾✨
About: I've had animals all my life including cats, dogs, fish, and lizards. I was responsible for them at an early age and now, I have raised my cat and dog on my own to be responsible members of society. Hello! I am currently a 3rd Grade ELA teacher here in Cincinnati. I’ve had animals all my life and would love to take care of yours when you are not available. Right now my openings are only on the weekends, but that will soon change during the summertime! I have three floors for pets to explore, a fenced in patio, and I live near three parks that dogs could take advantage of frequently.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
Olivia has been an amazing cat sitter for Dora! We received her name from a coworker and couldn't be happier with how great she has been. She is highly communicative, attentive to Dora's needs, and made the whole process completely stress-free. We highly recommend her and absolutely hope to work with her again.
Carly was so reliable and responsive when we asked her to pop in on our cat Olive over Fourth of July weekend. She let Olive in/out at the designated times and always made sure she had fresh food and water (during a heatwave). Olive warmed right up to her and allowed her to give her some butt pats. Highly recommend Carly for any cat sitting needs, will definitely use her in the future!
Came to check on my kitties while I was away and was wonderful! Great updates throughout the week and cute pictures of the kitties to accompany. I felt stress free the entire time I was away knowing that my cats were in such good hands, 100% recommend if you want pace of mind while you’re away from your furry friends!
Hannah did great watching my cat while we were gone on a long vacation. She was able to find my cat even in her hiding places, and always sent a picture and update. She was easy to communicate with for dropping off keys, etc. I would definitely recommend her for your pet!!!
Absolutely fantastic experience with our pet sitter, Erika. She did an amazing job caring for my two cats, who are usually very wary of new people. By the end of her time with them, one of my cats even let her hold him which is a huge milestone and really shows how patient, calm, and gentle she was with both of them. Erika was very professional throughout, followed all instructions carefully, and always replied quickly, which really helped ease my stress while I was away. I felt completely confident knowing my two cats were in great hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
I always have a great experience Tanya taking care of my two playful cats! One of my cats requires medication, and she handles that with ease and care, which gives me so much peace of mind. It’s such a relief to know our pets are in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Newport on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,103 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Newport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newport. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
