Top rated Newport house sitters

“Jen was absolutely amazing! 10/10. We booked her with a short notice and she still came over the meet the dogs before we left. She kept us updated and even checked the mail and helped sit a package outside for me. She walked the dogs and fed them and snuggled them each day while we were gone! We came home and she had cleaned everything up and washed her bedding and made it all back up! She went above and beyond. Highly recommend Jen!”


“Lauryn took amazing care of our pups while we were out of town! She was able to adhere to our senior dogs complex medication and food routine and kept our puppy entertained! Lauryn was respectful of our space during her stay, and every interaction was pleasant! She kept us updated on our dogs behaviors and gave us peace of mind with her prompt responses!”


“Sheila was great! I’ve never used Rover before and never left our pets with someone other than family. Sheila came for a meet and greet before we finalized the booking (I was afraid our wild pups might scare her off) and all my anxiety was instantly relieved. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. She had great questions and explained her usual process, making it very obvious that she has plenty of experience. I didn’t have any worries about leaving our pets and home in her care. Sheila sent updates and pics during the week and everything was in perfect condition when we got home. I can’t imagine anything that would have made the experience any better! Thank you Sheila!”


“Katie was great taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She showed up when she said she would, spent some quality time with him, and sent plenty of pictures and status updates. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”


“Emily was a great sitter! She house sat for us over the holiday weekend and I came home to a very happy dog :) She was great with communication (and left the house very clean!) would definitely work with her again and recommend. Thank you!”



“Lucas was great sitting our three pups at home. He made certain they went out their normal ~4 times a day, he gave them their meds & food as directed, and communicated well with us during the entire stay. We greatly appreciate his time with them :-) and would book additional stays with him as they come up.”


“Courtney did great taking care of my elderly Pugs and making sure they got their meds. She was eager to learn how to manage my paralyzed dog which was great and hard to find!”


“We could not live Taylor more. She came on a holiday weekend to stay with our boys while we were in town for the weekend. They absolutely loved her. She was so patient and sweet with them. And best of all, the boys had such a great time with her. She also didn’t hesitate to care for our diabetic, blind, 10 year old little man. We will be sure to book Taylor anytime we’re in town.”


“Ariel was such a wonderful house and dog sitter during our two week trip. Our dogs are former strays with very unique personalities and they don’t take well to a lot of people, especially as one is reactive and very afraid of most people. But Ariel did great with helping our dogs feel comfortable with her and helping ease our worry about them while we were gone. We also loved that we could trust her to look after our house while we were away, staying in our home with our dogs the entire time. Even more, when our return back home was delayed by missed connecting flights, Ariel didn’t hesitate to agree to extend her time and return to our house to stay another night. We’re incredibly grateful to have found Ariel and look forward to regularly working with her around our future sitting needs!”


“Jared was great with our two crazy puppies and all of our other animals. Sent lots of pictures, I could tell the dogs loved him. Gave us peace of mind during our trip. He also had a great doughnut recommendation for our destination!”



“Pamela was awesome! Sent lots of pics of our babies and spent tons of quality time with them!!!! Great communication. Will definitely reach out to her the next time we need a house/pet sitter!!!!”



“100% would recommend. Very personable, and handled a tornado warning like a pro while we were away. Sia and Lizzie loved her and are looking forward to her next visit!”


“My boy was so well taken care of by Lauren!! I loved the photo updates. It made me happy knowing my fur baby was in such good hands. Will definitely be booking again.”


“Allison was amazing with my mini aussie!! he’s normally a ball of energy and anxiety but he warmed up to her very quickly! she brings a calming presence that i think helped my dog a ton. i highly recommend her, she made my first time using this service very easy and straightforward ! thanks allison :)”


About: Before moving to Cincinnati, I worked in many different pet care settings. I worked for a dog walking/sitting company in Nashville known as Preferred Pets, worked as a bather at the Paw Pad in Canton, worked for Pet Valu when I was in college at Kent State, and as a local dog walker in my neighborhood growing up. I’m very dedicated to the wellbeing of any animal I have the privilege of working with and look forward to seeing each and every pet. Every animal gets guaranteed love, attention, exercise, and play when I’m with them. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, blind dogs, aggressive dogs, shy dogs, excited dogs, and every kind in between. No matter the size, age, temperament, or breed, I always dedicate my entire self to the animals under my care. I work full time 7p-5p M-F so if you need a night time or weekend walker, I’m the one for your pet! I’m always available throughout the nights as well. Throughout my professional experience with dogs I have always put their safety first. This includes knowing the major signs of stress dogs display, and recognizing quick temperament changes. I also have been taught proper ways to walk certain dogs depending on how much of a puller they are!

About: I care for every pet like they’re my own—because I know they’re not just pets, they’re family. I take the time to understand each animal’s personality, needs, and routine so they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s extra playtime, slow walks for older pups, or quiet cuddles on the couch, I’m all in. I also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you’re never left wondering how your fur baby’s doing. As a freelance photographer, I have a super flexible schedule, which means I can easily plan my day around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening snuggles, I’ve got the time—and the heart—for it. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and caring for pets brings balance and joy to my day. Your pet will always have my full attention, without any rush or distractions. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat it like my own—with respect, cleanliness, and care. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine to keep things comfortable and stress-free, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just quiet companionship. I’m very mindful of your space and make sure everything stays tidy and your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You’ll get plenty of updates, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in good hands.

Ethan P.

“I was pleased to hear that Ethan has decided to become a dog caregiver. Ethan worked for me as a Pet Stylist Assistant at The Paw Pad llc and always gave each dog such an amazing experience. He is a creative and dedicated petlover who always went above and beyond for each pet. Ethan is a motivated employee and an excellent leader. Although he was an assistant in the salon, he took the initiative to welcome each new pet parent and made sure each dog left with their tail wagging and wanting to come back to see him. I can enthusiastically recommend him to care for any dog as if they were his own.”
