“I was so worried about Simon but I came back from a 3week vacation and he was wonderful. I know this is because Alison took such good care of him. She was awesome. I would completely recommend her.”
“Tess is always an incredibly reliable and thoughtful sitter. She takes great pictures of Nora and is highly communicative. I know my cat is in great hands when I travel thanks to Tess.”
“Johnnisha took great care of my kitties once again! I love that she sends me cute pictures of them every visit! They were happy and well fed when I got home.”
“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!”
“Taylor was simply incredible. We went out of the country for 10 days and needed care for our two cats and Taylor took amazing care of them. They are still young so Taylor checked in on them twice a day and was SO informative with every visit she made. She took great photos of our kittens and gave details about how they were doing which made it so stress free knowing she was there multiple times a day seeing them. Our finicky, shy kitten warmed up to her and was purring and showing her love! Just goes to show how great Taylor is. We know in the future if we are out of town, we will absolutely use Taylor again if her schedule is open. We would 10000000% recommend her to anyone and everyone! Thank you Taylor!!!!!”
“Andrea has done an incredible job at letting our shy pup go at his own pace. We also appreciate her excellent communication with us about how each visit has been going and in arranging schedules. Darwin is more and more excited each time she visits!!”
“Morgan was amazing for our drop in visit with my dog! She made the time for a meet and greet beforehand, and took lots of photos during her visit which made me feel so comfortable. Will definitely book again!!”
“Anise is such an excellent sitter! This was my first time using Rover and Anise made me feel extremely comfortable leaving my cat in her care. She was communicative, took lots of pictures, and always went above and beyond to make sure my cat was getting enough attention.”
About: I have spent the last few years pet sitting for consistent families in Columbus and would love to start here in Cincy. I already love walks, new experiences, and time at home. Perfect to help out when you need pet care. I have had dogs and cats In the family my whole life and am hoping to give some walks and love to some more until I make the leap and get my own. I have experience with both young and senior animals, happy to cater to their ways of life. I work close to home mom-Fri 8:30-4:30. Able to provide all the love in the world outside of those hours. I prefer to provide care on weekends so that I can give your pets all the attention they need. I have remained a dependable pet sitter for consistent families for years. That trust was built through consistency, communication, and dependability when providing care or support. I will always take care of any pet as if they were my own and follow any schedules you set for them.
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!
“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.”
“Katrina was amazing with my two cats on a last-minute request! Her communications was prompt with great updates, and I will definitely reach out for future requests.”
About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as i can remember! I grew up with both dogs and cats, and have also regularly cared for friends’ pets. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can genuinely trust. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific care instructions you leave for me. I will communicate as often as desired and send all the photo updates 😊 Pet care fits well into my daily routine since I work remotely and have flexibility within my day. I’ll always communicate clearly about timing and availability so you know exactly when your pet will be cared for. Most importantly, i want your pets to feel safe, comfortable and loved while their humans are gone. I’ll treat your home with the same respect id want someone to treat mine!
“Allison did great with my puppy! I could tell that he was happy to see someone throughout the day while I was gone. She also provided great updates on my puppy and included pictures!”
About: I’ve been watching pets for over 10 years, mostly for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve taken care of everything from energetic puppies to older pets who need a little extra love and patience. I’m really comfortable with different routines, giving meds if needed, and just making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and cared for!! As a server, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of daytime and evening availability, so I can give pets the attention they need. Whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy evening cuddles, I love filling my free time with furry friends!! I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, giving them lots of love and attention, and keeping their space clean and secure. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I treat every pet like they’re my own :)
“Nina is a clear and prompt communicator through the whole process of working together. She asked thorough questions at our meet and greet that helped me feel comfortable leaving our dog in her care. Ren was happy to see to her, and I'm sure looked forward to her visits! We'll be contacting Nina first when we next need a sitter.”

We couldn’t have asked for someone better to let our baby out while we were out of town. Kelsey was great with Riley and was patient when Riley acted like she didn’t like her harness (lol). Will definitely be asking Kelsey first next time we are looking for a Rover.
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Newport is $22 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,252 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newport. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 .
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.
