About: I’ve cared for dogs for more than 30 years and understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after a member of your family. I’m a responsible, mature professional and longtime dog owner who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities, including senior dogs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications and each owner’s individual instructions. My goal is simple: keep your dog safe, comfortable, happy and well cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. My work schedule is flexible and varies throughout the month, giving me plenty of days and time at home to provide attentive pet care. I carefully manage my Rover availability so I only accept bookings when I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for weekdays, weekends and extended stays depending on my schedule. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and want every pet to feel comfortable and secure in my care. I have a friendly dog of my own and will make sure dogs are introduced appropriately before sharing our home. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll respect their normal feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away.
About: I love working with pets. My parents have two dogs that I love bringing on walks. They are fun to play with and give attention too. We have also had different dogs when I was growing up it is important to know each pet has a different personality. We have also had cats that are completely different from dogs. I enjoy playing with them with toys and petting them. I also have experience with Guinea pigs. I have had one for over two years and I know how to take care of them. Let me know if I am the right fit to watch your dog, cat, or other animal. Thank you for reading my profile to consider me for watching your awesome and great pets. I love working with animals and I include them in my daily routine. They need do get there exercise, play time, attention and feed/ treats. I would rather take care of them in you home because the pets feel more comfortable when they know where they are. I love to keep them happy
“Allene had been an awesome drop in sitter for our dog Lucka. Always great communicator and takes care of business so we know he is well cared for while we are at work!”


“Wonderful communicator! I’m not sure I gave the best instructions yet Cooper followed to a T. Great service, definitely will use again. The narrative summary and photos were an awesome, unexpected bonus! 10/10 :)”

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.

“Rachel did a great job taking care of our cat while we were out of town. We loved getting our daily Pickles update and she was a happy cat when we got home!”

“Ingrid completed 3 drop in visits for my old kitty cat named Phantom. She sent me detailed updates and photos everyday. Phantom has an issue with going potty outside the box and Ingrid replaced the per pads, cleaned up a kitty mess in the kitchen and I came home to a clean litter box. I would highly recommend Ingrid!”

“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: My first dog sitting job was when I was in freshman year of high school, roughly six years ago. My piano instructor was going to be out of town and had asked me to care for her dogs named Joey & Monica. Ever since I have dog sat a couple dogs from different families. I also have two dogs of my own. I take very good care of my dogs, they are my best friends. I provide food and water, and meals on times. Taking dogs out on a walk or to the dog park. I can administer medication - my dogs are frequent vet visitors. I can provide grooming as well and following owner instructions, and providing companionship. I’m currently a part time worker at Costco, and self-employed as well with teaching piano in my home a couple hours a week, as well as some college classes in the morning and afternoon during fall and spring. I post plenty of fun pictures with the dogs I watch so feel free to give me a follow! I have two dogs of my own, a very sassy and bossy Pomeranian, and a chunky very demanding Corgi. My dogs are my everything. I feed them two times a day, typically between 8-9 am for breakfast and 5-6 pm for dinner. My pomeranian is a very picky eater so I have to feed him with my hands but sometimes he’ll eat on his own, my corgi on the other hand LOVES food. I potty my dogs every 1-3 hours. We love going to the dog park. Sometimes we go on walks around the neighborhood too. Since it’s very muddy outside I also bathe them everyday after the dog park. I brush their teeth and clean their ears every two days. Sometimes when nobody’s going to be home, we keep them in a big playpen area so they don’t wander around and chew on stuff they shouldn’t be, but that is only for when we aren’t home but other wise they run around in the house. They are also crate trained as well.
About: I have had dogs and cats always! I would love to care for yours too! I have experience with puppies to seniors to care for as family! I also have given medication and shots to my fur babies I am flexible with my schedule and can cater to your pets needs while your away to make them as confortable as possible. Would love to pamper your fur babies! I would love to come to your house where they are most at home and comfortable I will give them love and attention while your away!
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who has had pets since I was nine years old. I currently care for my five-year-old French Bulldog who had a stroke as a puppy and has partial paralysis, so I’m very experienced with giving pets extra patience, attention, and care. I’m a special education teacher with summers off and availability on weekends. I’d love to help care for your fur babies and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I have weekends off and often care for friends’ pets when they’re away. I’m more of a homebody, so I’m available most of the day on Saturdays and Sundays to provide attentive, reliable care. I’m not currently offering boarding or daycare services. However, if that changes in the future, I do have a fenced backyard and take daily walks with my dog, so pets staying with me would receive plenty of love, attention, and regular walks.
“Jacqueline always does a great job with our pets! We especially appreciate her expertise and focus with our senior dog. She knows to give him short, slow walks, and is comfortable and proficient in administering meds for his joint pain. Highly recommend!”

“Celia has done an amazing job watching my cat Thelma when I am out of town. She always leaves prompt updates, responds quickly to any notes or questions and takes the best pictures of Thelma which are always a treat to see when I am away.”

About: I’ve been very into pet care since I was young and see so much value in who they are to people and the world! I’ve been pet sitting combined with baby sitting my entire life and it feels natural! I’m currently almost completely free all the time! Not in school nor do I have other commitments, but spending my time looking after people’s fur babies sounds amazing! Gaining trust is very important with a pet! I pay a lot of attention to the pet and their needs and provide many cuddles and love!
“Kari saved me from worrying about my puppy during two long work days. She stopped by for two half hour visits each day sending me photos upon arrival and during playtime. I was able to stay focused on my work knowing Kari was taking care of Milla.”

Jennifer B. Was absolutely amazing over the weekend! She did drop-in visits for our 4 dogs Finn, Izzi, Coco and Lulu and kept me completely updated with frequent photos and messages. She even went above and beyond by cleaning up unexpected messes without any complaints. Managing a pack of four requires a lot of skill, and she handles it flawlessly. Truly professional, highly communicative, and fantastic with our pups. I will definitely be booking her again. Mary M

“Highly recommend! My dog is handicapped and cannot walk, so finding someone I could truly trust was very important. She took exceptional care of my dog and went above and beyond to make sure all of her special needs were met. She was patient, compassionate, attentive, and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. My dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. It’s not easy caring for a special-needs dog, but she handled everything wonderfully. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Newport choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 .
