“Our pups had a wonderful time and we got lots of pictures and updates during their stay! Mike was really communicative and the dogs were happy and tired when we picked them up. Would happily have them bunk up here again.”
“Maya had such a great time with Kristin! She was quick to reply and gave regular updates with pictures and videos🥹 Thank you again for giving our pup a safe and happy home while we were away!”
“Our little guy seemed happy at Stephanie's house! The family was very nice, and their house is tucked in a cul-de-sac away from busy roads. We got updates and/or pictures most days, and Stephanie was always timely in her responses to any messages I sent her. We plan to use her again!”
About: Hi! I don’t have any dogs currently- I put my last dog down about 1.5 years ago, but have been a dog lover all my life. I have experience with all ages and types of dogs but specialize in senior & reactive dogs. I do work full time- four days a week. I am off on Wednesdays and off on weekends. If I’m watching your pup, I’ll go home straight from work to get them out for a walk! I provide a loving, safe, and comfortable home for your pets while you’re away! I love taking dogs on walks and, when appropriate, car rides for a little extra adventure. I’ll treat your pets like family, giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care. My goal is to make your pets feel happy, comfortable, and right at home while giving you peace of mind!
“Our dog had a great stay with Allison and family. He was well cared for and we got lots of status update pics. This was our first visit and we will be return customers when the next need comes up.”
About: I’m obsessed with my dogs and I loveeeee other people’s dogs too! If you can’t ever seem to find the perfect person to watch your pup… Look no further! I’m the person you dream of watching your pet, as I’m quite a helicopter mom myself, and I feel that every dog owner has the fears of: 1. Will my dog feel neglected? (Answer, not here! Your pup will feel right at home and no offense, will probably want to stay here after all the fun they have!) 2. Will she make sure that he doesn’t run away? (Answer, absolutely! My pugs are wannabe escape artists, but they have not gotten out of the house. And my yard is fenced in!) 3. Will she be able to tend to my pet’s specific needs? (Answer, yes! We will be in communication prior to go over any specific needs your pet has requires) Daily routine: Wake up around 6:30, bathroom break 1. Inside & greenie bones 7, then bathroom break 2. Back to bed to snuggle or play time — then breakfast around 8. Bathroom break 3 afterwards, typically around 8:30 Throughout the work day we will go outside 3-4 times (for 15-30 mins at a time) and then most exercise/playing occurs inside. I have a fenced in backyard and also gates to keep other rooms in the home guarded. We have our food and water bowls in the kitchen, and many other rooms to close off if there’s any issues.
About: I've always had a dog and trained a service dog in college with my roommate who now is paired with a kid who has epilepsy and gives the family much more ease. I have my own pup now and a cat as well! I also have fostered cats and dogs for over 5 years! I work hybrid and have a flexible schedule to ensure your dogs are taken care of. I will have plenty of time after work for exercise and cuddles as well! I will provide all animals with love and respect. If I am in your home with them I will make sure they feel as if I am not intruding their space so they can feel comfortable and trust me. I will be sure to earn your animals trust and give them the best care.
“Moses had a great time staying with Paige and playing with her and her dog. Paige is very friendly and loves dogs, sent updates and pics, and dropoff and pickup were hassle-free. Highly recommended.”
“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Our dog had great care with Caleigh! Great backyard for dogs, good communication, and she did everything she could to make our dog feel comfortable while we were away.”
“Sarah was great and my little girl doggy enjoyed playing with her little pups- also , I loved getting a video and a picture as well . I would definitely use her service again and recommend her as well.”
“Jessica watched Fitz for a four night stay, and he absolutely loved it! The pictures she sent were adorable, and I could tell he immediately felt at home. I couldn't imagine a better person to trust with him, and I'm glad we have a go-to sitter in Atlanta now!”
“Mary did an amazing job with Penny. Penny got carrot, watermelon, or ice cube treats everyday. Sent lot's of pictures. Penny is a little bit of a peculiar dog and doesn't always get along with other dogs but Mary still handled her with love and care. I would definitely use Mary as a sitter again.”
“Tammi and her family were wonderful with my little girl Hazel. This was my first time using Rover and first time ever being away from Hazel. I was worried about being away from her, but she absolutely loved her time at Tammi’s. It was like she had her own little vacation. I received updates from Tammi on how Hazel was doing which was great. I think Hazel misses all of the other dogs she got to run around and play with. I can’t recommend Tammi enough and would not hesitate leaving Hazel in her care in the future.”
“Emma was wonderful and took great care of my dog, Lele, during her two-week stay. She was super nice and responsive, and Lele clearly loved her. I would absolutely recommend Emma and will definitely book with her again!”
About: Intrigued by “man’s best friend” since the tender age of 3; I engulfed my life with everlasting love and care for pets; for over 30 years! My experience includes: pet sitting for neighbors: cats and dogs; providing pet washing services; and volunteering at pet shelters. Playful pups are my specialty! I’ve previously sat with Yorkies, Dalmatians, German Shepards, French bulldogs, Goldendoodles, Pomeranians, and many more! I am currently available 24/7 for services. Feel free to contact me anytime with inquiries. Safety is my top priority! Pets are family! In my home, they are provided playful toys and loving interactions. Hourly walks with a harness collar; trailing into a field for wide range of motion; to soak in the sun are a must for my furry friends! For over night stays, they will be secured in an extra large crate starting at 11pm-5am with potty breaks and soothing music for pets.
“Milo had so much fun at Krista’s house! She was super accommodating and let me drop Milo off a night early when my schedule changed, and sent frequent updates. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again next time I go out of town!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Newport is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
Sarah watched my grumpy old man, Ruger, who is almost 15 years old. He is on daily prozac and has a lot of anxiety. Sarah did fantastic with him, and I could tell he actually relaxed while he was with her. I will absolutely book Sarah again and feel so lucky to have found someone who can make my old man feel safe.
I would happily recommend Holly to care for your dog. She took great care of my "Tucker" and I appreciated the regular updates and pictures. I had to make a last minute schedule change due to an uncontrollable airline mishap and I greatly appreciated her flexibility.
Kamilah is an absolute saint! She just watched our very rambunctious 5-month old Chihuahua for two weeks. He's small, but quite the handful. She did a fantastic job and our puppy came back to us happy, healthy, and a little more leash trained than when we left him. I highly recommend her.
Reggie had a great time with Anastasia! She asked lots of questions to make sure that he was well taken care of. She also did a great job of keeping me updated. When I took him to her house the day after our meet and greet, he was actually excited when he realized where we were going. That’s incredibly rare. I will definitely use her again.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Newport is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $56 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 814 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Newport. About 94% of Newport sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in KY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
