“I could not have asked for a better cat sitter than Bethany. I had never used Rover before or had anyone other than my sister usually watch my cats. My sister moved out of state so I booked Bethany and she surpassed all expectations. The updates, photos, videos, and messages gave me so much peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Tori again was amazing with our old man! She checked in with the best pictures and videos. It’s always nerve wracking to leave your baby, especially when he’s older, but we left knowing that he would be in the best hands. New friend for our old man and a sitter for life!!!”
“Amaryl was extremely kind and made us feel very at ease while we were away from our cats. Super responsive, respectful, and considerate. Will be booking again with Amaryl!”
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!
“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.”
“Dana was so wonderful to work with! She was thoughtful and took amazing care of our two cats. She was easy to coordinate with, very responsive, and sent great updates with pics during her visits. I will definitely reach out to Dana again next time we need kitty coverage. Thank you Dana!”
About: Growing up with Steve Irwin as my role model, I have personal experience with pets of many varieties, including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, crabs, etc. I have professionally worked as a cat sitter for 2 years, as well as experience working in a vet clinic as a receptionist and assistant. I have experience with befriending the most timid pets, playing with the best of ‘em, and providing oral and topical medications. I am the full time pet parent to my two cats, Mabel and Luna! I am a mental health therapist by day and an animal lover all the time! I can be available for overnight stays on the weekends and for drop in visits/walks in the morning before 9am or after 4pm. I maintain a calm, loving demeanor with every pet I care for. Much like humans in therapy, I meet the pet where they are and encourage them by building a strong rapport. In your home, I will be respectful of the space by keeping it clean, as well as towards your pet!
“Evan was an amazing pet sitter! He watched my 4 cats and managed their complex mealtime routine with no issues! He gave so many updates and was so communicative! I will definitely have him watch my cats again :)”
“Alexis was great! The cats were comfortable with her and she was very communicative. There was a plumbing disaster that came up unexpectedly and she notified me immediately + waited around to let maintenance in.”
“Cassidy was absolutely fantastic with our house and cats. Cassidy communicated so well, took amazing photos, and helped keep our boys happy. Would recommend to anyone! It made our honeymoon very nice.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I had my first one at 8 years old. Currently have two that are mine. I also house sit/dog sit for family and friends every chance I get. I am currently working part time remotely so I have a very open and flexible schedule to dog/cat sit or walk your dogs! Can expect frequent walks and play time for all! Moving back home at end of November so looking for some temporary work until then! I have a fenced in yard at my apartment complex I can take your pet to! I also have a crate if needed as well!
About: While I'm fairly new to pet-sitting, I am experienced with both dogs and cats. I became accustomed to caring for dogs when my family welcomed our poodle, Rosie, to our home back in 2020. Everything there is to know about caring for dogs, I am very familiar with! I have also done a handful of kitty check-ins for a friend over the past year, consisting of playtime and plenty of petting. I am so thrilled to get started on Rover! I currently work part-time in healthcare 4 days a week until 1:30pm, so I am available every afternoon, evening, and some mornings for pet care. This also applies to weekends as well! When walking dogs, I make sure to keep an eye out for our surroundings, whether that be nearby people, other dogs, or potentially harmful plants. While I do allow the dog I'm caring for to explore, I also know to keep a short leash when the situation warrants it. As for pet check-ins, I am very respectful of the home I'm being welcomed into. My number one priority is caring for your pet, so I am careful to clean up after them if any accidents happen.
About: I am a lifelong animal lover and have had multiple dogs, two cats, and a ball python for over 13 years! In addition to my experience as a pet owner, I have also volunteered at the Cincinnati Zoo in various capacities for 3 years now, where I have learned techniques in animal care relating to a variety of species from mammals to reptiles to birds. I am currently pursuing a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology with the hope to some day work with animals professionally. I was a member of my high schools zoology and marine biology clubs for all 4 years and also founded a beekeeping club. I am currently a college student looking to pet sit during school breaks. I will be in town and available December 13-31 of this year. I offer free meet and greets and I will not have another job at this time and so can be quite flexible to you/your pets needs. I can come over at regular time frames to walk, provide food and water, play, and spend time with your pet. I also offer overnight stays and can accommodate irregular schedules.
About: I have a great love for animals and have been taking care of dogs for 14 years. I am currently a cat mom, but in the past I have had up to 4 animals at the same time, so I am experienced with caring for many animals at once. Also, I have experience sitting small rodents and some reptiles. I am a quick learner and love all pets, especially ones with unique challenges and personalities. I am also a Type 1 diabetic, so if your animals require insulin or any other injectable medication, I am comfortable with needles and administering those medications. I work a full time job, but I am a fully remote worker, and therefore I can spend lots of direct time with your pet. I am very communicative with my clients, and will update every check in on how their pets are doing. I make sure to give the pets lots of attention. I will listen to you on what works best for your pets, and keep them on any schedules you have in place for them.
About: I’ve been the designated pet sitter for my family and friends for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I also have two cats of my own who I absolutely adore. I’m comfortable following specific routines, giving lots of attention and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent check ins, attention, playtime, walks, and care based on your pet’s normal routine. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’m very careful about doors, food, medications, and anything your pet could get into. I have two cats of my own, so keeping pets safe and comfortable is something I take very seriously.
About: I have hands-on experience working in a veterinary clinic, where I care for dogs and cats every day. My experience includes handling, feeding, walking, administering medications, monitoring pets, assisting with treatments, and recognizing when something may be wrong. I’m comfortable working with pets of different personalities and energy levels, including nervous or anxious animals. I’m patient and attentive, and I always prioritize making pets feel safe and comfortable. Outside of work, I have a young Whippet of my own, so I understand how important exercise, enrichment, consistency, and patience are for young dogs. I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own! I am a full-time UC pre-veterinary student, and I work part time at Mason Family Pet Hospital. I have consistent breaks during my available weekdays to care for animals. I do my best to care for the animals as though they are one of my own. I try to read their behaviors to better understand their needs.
“Sandy made us feel at ease while we were away on our honeymoon for two weeks. She made sure our cat got played with, got some cuddles, and cleaned his litter box every visit. Her updates were very thorough and she paid close attention to him to make sure everything went smoothly while we were gone. She sent plenty of photos that made us know he was being loved and cared for. Would absolutely book her for our next trip!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have my own two cats currently. My childhood dog had epilepsy and was on medicine multiple times a day and I was his caretaker to help my family with their work schedules. I give my kitties love first try big in the morning but before I leave I feed them and scoop the box. I make sure to play with them before bed so they have activity and get their energy out. I let my cats free roam while I’m away for the day but I grew up with a crate trained dog. I’ve pet sat for friends before who have restrictions where their pet goes and I’ve been able to follow their directions.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
Ben earns his numerous 5-star ratings because pets respond to him like he's part of the pack and his communication and accommodation are incredible – I'm very glad to have Ben look after my two fur kids instead of taking them to a resort. They're happier and I'm more at ease getting text and picture updates
Christina was the best! she took excellent care of our kiddos and even got our most sensitive cat to eat his meals (and take his meds!) without any issue! she sent us tons of photos, was super communicative, and super flexible. 10/10 recommend her for all your pet needs!!
AmariYah made this such a great experience, as this was our first time using Rover! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and it looks like our pets absolutely loved the experience too! She was very thoughtful and generous with her time, and her care of our little fur babies!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Newport is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
