“Rachel did a fantastic job watching our cats while we were away. She went above and beyond their needs and was very prompt with communication! We will definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve grown up caring for and pet sitting all kinds of animals, and I’ve been trusted by many family members and neighbors to take care of their pets. I absolutely love animals and enjoy spending time with them! I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets. I’d love the opportunity to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! I currently work full-time from 8:30 AM–5:00 PM, but I have my mornings, evenings, and overnights available for pet care. My weekends are also completely free, giving me plenty of flexibility to spend time with and care for pets. I always want pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I’m happy to follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll also make sure to keep their space clean and tidy and follow any specific instructions or preferences their owner provides.
About: I love animals of all kinds! I have personal experience with small and large dogs, diabetic and disabled cats, senior cats, kittens, puppies, and more. I would have dozens of animals if I could, but instead I’ll just love yours like they are my own! I work during the day, but most days I’m home by late afternoon, and I can come early mornings as needed. My own pet family includes two cats and two snakes. I also have a 10 year old that is known at the Humane Society as a dog whisperer. I can't wait to meet your pets! I work full time, but my schedule on Fridays is light and I have plenty of times on the weekends. Tuesday- Thursday I can do early morning or evening visits. I can take my time with timid animals or jump right in, I let your pet set the pace! My sister always laughs when we’re visiting because she can’t decide who is more excited to see a dog, me or my daughter. We’re happiest when we are with animals of all kinds, and they love us, too!
About: I've been taking care of people's cats and dogs alike ever since I was a teenager around the Edina neighborhood. I moved to Woodbury around 2019 where I adopted a cat. I grew up with dogs but I've wanted a cat too so now I'd say I'm proficient with both cats and dogs. I work part-time. I have flexible schedule on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.so I'm pretty much available all day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'm available to stay overnight if that is a need for the pet. I always make sure to establish trust between myself and the pet and the pet parent. I also understand animals need time to adjust to new people and every animal is different. Some also need more space to adjust and I'm that person that will give the time and space the animal needs.
About: I grew up with a lot of pets. Dogs, cats, fish, birds, and for the last 3 years I've been doing pet care along with child care for a well respected small company in Northern MN. I love working with animals and I'm very good at taking care of them, whether that's short term, long term, or just for a day. I'm currently not working outside of pet sitting, and I try to be very active so daily walks are a must have along with trips to the park and indoor play time. I keep a consistent sleep schedule so I can easily cater to the schedule of your animals. I live in a townhouse community near a lake with a walking trail and a large open field perfect for longer walks with the pups! When I'm in a clients home, I will communicate with you first to learn if you have a schedule for the pets you'd like me to follow. Then I will make sure their needs are met and have plenty of play time in and outside so they get their exercise in between naps and cuddles.
“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Makayla was absolutely wonderful—super sweet and thorough when she came to meet our cat and go over all of the instructions. While we were away, she checked in every day with thoughtful notes and the cutest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even brought in some packages that were delivered, which was such a nice extra touch. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we’ll definitely be booking her again. We’re already planning to have her help with dog walking, too. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Abby 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover and would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members while you’re away! I have 3 years of experience caring for all kinds of cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups who need a good walk and playtime to laid-back dogs and cats who just want some company and cuddles.

Whether your pet needs a walk, a meal, some playtime, or simply a little extra love and attention, I’d be happy to help. I’d love to meet you and your pets and become someone you can count on whenever they need care! 🐶🐱❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine! I enjoy spending my free time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, stopping by for a visit, playing with a kitty, or giving a pet some extra attention and cuddles. I’m able to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, meals, and care they need. I’m dependable and flexible, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. I follow their normal routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any other instructions you provide. I know pets can feel more comfortable in their familiar environment, so I give them plenty of attention and companionship while allowing them to stay in the space they know and love. I’m respectful of your home and will always leave things clean and just as I found them. I’m also happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for! 🐾❤️
“Dakota appears to have checked all boxes requested! Cats are older and pretty inactive, but i see no problems at all. Communication was steady and reliable. Thanks Dakota! Planning on using her in the very near future if she is available.”
“Julia was absolutely great! She’s super responsive and thoughtful! Julia was able to stay an extra night when my flight was cancelled and even offered other solutions when it looked like I might get stuck away from my cats even longer. I came home to healthy cats and clean apartment and was far less stressed about my travel delays knowing my pets were well cared for.”
“Helen was GREAT! She took wonderful care of our kitties and was so great as we are still in the middle of introducing the two! She sent so many photos and made us feel very connected to them while we were away!:)”
About: I love animals! No matter what from small to large! I love getting to know the animals and finding out their personalities! Can’t wait to meet! I work at a dealership full time Tuesday - Saturday. I can swing over before and after work! Whatever you need! I will make it work! I will make sure your pet is safe. I will ask the owner questions about your furry friends, what works and what doesn’t. I will make sure I understand what is being asked.
“Leann was so great and communicative while we were out of town and kept us updated on how our cat was doing. She had to administer medicine for our cat each day, which is not easy, but she got it done! Thanks Leann for taking care of Jovie!”
“Allison was awesome! She took amazing care of my old man cat with his medications and made sure everyone was happy and well fed. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Rylan was a lifesaver. She agreed to take care of my girls (11 month old kittens) very last minute so I could go on vacation. Her communication and daily updates were great, and she took very good care of my home and kitties while I was away.”
About: Dog walking and drop in clients- I have volunteered and worked as kennel staff 1000+ hours at the Animal Humane Society in St. Paul MN, Chequamegon Humane Association in Ashland WI and an Animal Hospital and Medical Boarding Facility in the north metro. In my positions I have facilitated adoptions, performed animal husbandry through maintaining a clean and safe environment for the animals of the shelter, engage dogs and cats in mental and social enrichment, exercise/walk the dogs, prepare and give diets, create feeding and medication charts, administer oral/dermal/otic/optic medication and subcutaneous fluids and of course give snuggles! Farm animals experience: I have experience working on a dairy farm for 6 months at a time. I grew up on a hobby farm caring for poultry and hoofstock. House sitting- I am available for those within 10 miles of Westside St. Paul to care for your fur babies. I have house and pet sat for my neighbors, professors, community members, friends and family. I work remotely part time and occasionally travel on the weekends. I’m pretty flexible during the work week and have easy access to reliable transportation. I will follow the owner’s lead on pet care, whether the animal is indoors only, outdoors, or both and whether they are leash only, fenced yard, etc. I understand that every pet is different in their personalities, history, and needs and am honored to be a part of their care team.

I know it's my third review for Ron, but I have to do it! We just came back from a 13 day trip and he visited our cat twice a day to give her pets, love, playtime, meds and more. Great communication, even better pictures. She's very calm after a long time away from us and I know it's because of the attention Ron pays to her when we aren't here!
Vicki is the best; I think this was her 5th time taking care of our two cats and they really love her visiting them. She makes sure they have everything they need, including pets and play time. This time our shyer cat was demanding pets on day one which is a big deal! 🥰 Thanks for taking such good care of our boys, Vicki!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Newport is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 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 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 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.

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 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.
