“Kyle was always prompt for visits to give my cat his medications. He provided great updates regarding how administration went, was patient with my cat, and was respectful to my house! Cannot recommend him enough!”
“Billy was an exceptional sitter from start to finish! He was incredibly responsible and communicative throughout the entire process, which made me feel completely at ease. I really appreciated how respectful he was of my time when he came to meet my dog for the first time—he was punctual, professional, and clearly experienced with animals. My dog took to him right away, and it was obvious Billy has a natural connection with pets. He kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Billy to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Bonnie takes such great care of our pets when we're gone and she's so sweet. You can tell she truly cares about the pets she watches. We are so lucky to have her as our sitter!”
“Mikayla is the best pet sitter!! This is my 3rd time having her watch my 2 cats during a short trip and I felt so comfortable knowing that she would be taking care of them. From taking photos of my cats playing with toys--one she even bought for them!!--to giving me updates on how they were doing, Mikayla went above and beyond. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter who will not only watch your pets but treat them like one of her own!”
“THANK YOU LAUREN FOR WATCHING OUR GIRL, Piper ♥️💋 we appreciate your exceptional communication with us so we can have peace of mind while we are away on our trip.”
“Stephanie was such a huge help to us with our sick kitty. She dropped in to administer her meds while we were out of town and made sure she was doing okay! Will definitely be using Stephanie in the future for our cat care!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have been around them my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I now have a dog of my own, which has given me hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, playtime, and maintaining a routine. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m a teacher and am currently on summer break, so I have plenty of availability right now. My schedule will become more limited toward the end of August when the school year begins. Currently, I’m unable to care for dogs in my home, but I’m happy to come to my clients’ homes to provide the care their dogs need.
“Paige took on 2 visits for 3 cats at short notice. What a hero! (And she had to administer medicine as well!) excellent, clear communication and lots of photos so I could see my kitties were being well taken care of. Thank you so much, Paige!”
About: Since 2020, I've been providing dependable dog walking and in-home pet care for families in the Inver Grove Heights, West St. Paul, and South St. Paul areas. As a proud British Lab owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets the way you would. In addition to dog walks, I provide drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. Whether it's feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, administering simple care routines, playtime, litter box or cage maintenance, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. My Yard: 5 ft privacy fence entirely enclosing the yard and deck. My Pet: 65lb spayed female British lab who is passive and needs a meet & Greet before we accept Boarding Crating? I follow your routine so if you want them crated, I will do that (some parents teach dogs to be crated at night). I would only ever use it other than your specific direction if I were to leave the house to store, etc. Dog won't be alone long - I am home during days. My family: 2 adults, 1 teen, 1 kid in house. Scope us out! Come visit with your pup for a meet & greet! Boarding: Occasionally I do accept dogs to board in our home. The dog needs to meet & Greet our dog first (she is calm, passive spayed). I only accept dogs to boardthat are up to date on vaccinations. We have kids and stuff (socks, toys) lays out...if your dog will ingest socks or "eat" things laying out, this isn't a good Boarding match. I believe every pet has a unique personality and deserves individualized care, patience, and affection. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pets are safe, loved, and receiving the attention they deserve. I am flexible during weekdays, mostly for check ins, potty breaks and feeding. In evening and weekends I am open for walks, check ins and feedings. I follow your Pet's routine as you detail it! Walks I require a leash. I send you updates and photos from walks or check ins. My House & Yard: Occasionally, we accept dogs for boarding. That is only if we do a Meet & Greet first, and determine our dog (9 yr old, calm and passive British lab, spayed) is a match. We would only boarding a dog in our home that is up to date on vaccinations
“Jessica is amazing with my boys! They adore her and she’s loving and plays with them while keeping them safe! She’s always on time very respectful and highly communicative. I would trust her for walks, and both short and long-term visits”
“Rachel was a fantastic sitter for our 3 cats! We spent 2 weeks abroad and it was such a comfort knowing she was stopping in daily to care for our fur babies. She sent updates daily with how they were doing and provided lots of pictures, which were so fun to see. She had great communication and was very quick to respond to messages. Rachel has a gentle personality that is perfect for caring for your pets, and we will absolutely be booking with her in the future.”
About: I grew up with dogs, mostly yellow Labrador retrievers. I also had a dog of my own through college and lived with 3 dogs for several years, so I am comfortable with feeding, walking, etc. I am working part-time in the mornings, so I have full afternoons and weekends available for pet care. My children are also with me at all times. I have a fenced in yard for safe playing outdoors, and two children who enjoy playing with dogs, so we can keep your dog safe and entertained
“Alexis is the best and worked really hard to make Walter feel comfortable, I will definitely be using her again. Let me tell you a story. One morning, Alexis was checking on my dog. She accidentally locked herself out of my house. Bummer, right? I was really mad for a while. Not Alexis' fault, since I thought my roommate wasn't going to be home but he actually was and locked her out without realizing it. Anyway, instead of leaving my dog in the yard and leaving, she stayed with my dog until I came home from camping that afternoon, gave him water, walked him extra, and kept him from freaking out. She really treated my dog like her own.”
About: I've had 2 dogs but am unable to have an animal of my own right now. I am a go-to sitter of friends and family for caring for their dogs and/or cats when they go out of town. I love taking care of animals! I'm currently working a hybrid schedule of Monday and Friday's at home. I am available to watch dogs/cats the whole week, but need to be in the office Tuesday - Thursday. So, if your dog can go a little over 8 hours between potty breaks this is no issue. I do work fairly close to home, so could come home on lunch break for a quick bathroom break. I live in a townhouse with a small, mulched front yard. I have a long leash that I can let dogs out on for quick bathroom breaks (I will be outside with them to supervise) . The neighborhood has sidewalks throughout and low traffic to take dogs on longer walks. Neighborhood is very dog friendly. Applewood Nature Reserve is also a walkable distance from my house (dogs should have tick prevention if you want them walked in the park). Longer walks would be up to 2 miles depending on your pets ability.
About: I recently retired early, sold my small business, and am excited to spend more time doing something that has always been a big part of my life - caring for and loving animals. I have been a pet mom and caregiver for many years, looking after furry friends of every age, personality, and quirk. I have 2 kitties, one who is an outgoing crazy character and the other sweet and shy. We sadly lost our Goldendoodle recently and I'd love to share cuddles and walks with your dog(s). I am reliable, patient and calm - and treat every pet with the same affection and care I give my own. I recently retired so my schedule is very flexible for daily drop-ins, overnight stays, walks, playtime, and cuddles. Have a last-minute trip or unexpected work meeting? I have the time and treats! When caring for your pets, I put their safety and comfort first. With many years of experience caring for pets, I know that each is unique, with different personalities and comfort level with new people. I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is for everything to feel just as safe, calm, and familiar as when you are there. I follow your routines closely, keep your home tidy, and pay attention to all of the little things that help your pet feel secure. What sets me apart is that during my career, I traveled quite a bit and hired pet sitters to stay with my kitties and dog. I know, from a client's perspective, what was important to me and my fur babies. I will send you daily updates and photos (unless that's not your preference), so you and your pets can feel completely comfortable and stress-free.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
Katie was timely and very responsive. She gave me great daily reports and I trusted her with my brand new puppy. I highly recommend her. You can really rely on her. She also accommodated switching our time when I needed to for a work schedule change. Thank you, Katie!
Ingrid has done a few drop in visits with our schnauzer puppy. She's been wonderful about being communicative, sending pictures and updates, and following detailed instructions for care. She spent a lot of time at our meet and greet asking lots of questions and even giving lots of attention to our cats, who she was not there to care for. I would highly recommend Ingrid and we will be sure to rely on her again for future care.
“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.”

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Newport on Rover is $10.7 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,681 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Newport stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
