“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!”
About: I have an associates degree in Veterinary Technology and worked in the veterinary field for 5 years. During that time I would often watch coworker's and friend's pets including both cats and dogs. I am experienced with giving medications and caring for senior pets who may need a little extra help and care! I am currently working part-time with a schedule that changes week to week. I am always available before 8am and after 7:30pm as well as most weekends. In all of my past pet sitting gigs, I have always tried my best to respect other's homes and traditions. I am very flexible and will always respect any and all wishes when it comes to your home an beloved pets!
“I was very pleased with Stephanie's care of Jazzy. I appreciated the photos and notes she sent me. She also respected and took care of my home. I will call upon her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone wanting care for their pet.”
About: For my first birthday, my parents' landlord gave them a puppy to give to me as a present. Since then, I've rarely been without at least one dog or cat companion. I've cared for dozens of pets for friends and family over the years: dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and even the occasional reptile. I'm ready to give your pet the care and attention they deserve! I’m retired, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pet! I’m available both weekdays and weekends. Morning, afternoon, or evening, whatever works best for you and your pet! I have tons of experience with dogs and cats and can follow any directions and honor any requests you have so that you can feel certain your pet is getting safe, loving, and quality care.
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our dog Frankie. She did a great job communicating with us when she did her drop-in visits. I will definitely recommend Rachel to my friends.”
“Jessica took great care of my pup, making sure she got enough play while I was away with friends so that she was ready to relax by the time I got home. Thanks, Jess!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better person to keep an eye on my cat while I was on vacation. Lauren was very great at communicating, sending pictures and going way above and beyond! I look forward to having her again in the future and would highly recommend her to others looking for a very trustworthy and knowledgeable pet sitter!”
“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.”
“Paige did a great job taking care of my two cats over a long weekend. She had great communication throughout my time away. I would definitely work with her again.”
“Dylan and Kayla did an excellent job meeting my kitties where they were at and allowing them to get comfortable with them in their own time. They are reliable, responsive and absolutely love the cats.”
“Mikayla did an amazing job with our two cats while we were traveling. Our cats proved to be a difficult task and Mikayla was very professional and caring for them. We are grateful we had Mikayla watching our cats as she was brilliant!”
About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by dogs and cats. Over the years, I've cared for everything from senior dogs needing daily medication to shy kittens just learning to trust. Each animal has their own personality and needs, and I take pride in offering patient, loving, and attentive care that makes both pets and their owners feel safe and comfortable. For me, pet care isn’t just a job—it’s a genuine passion. I am a teacher so I have ample time to care for your pet during the summer months. I can be flexible with days and times! Caring for pets in your home involves responsibility, trust, and professionalism. I think it is important to meet ahead of time, get instructions in writing and clarify any important questions.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs all my life. I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs. Nothing would make me happier than a chance to get to know your precious pets and care for them like they’re my own! I currently work full time but with flexible hours. Typically, mornings and evening visits are best during the week but my weekends are wide open. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood a short walk from a large park with many trails and nature to explore. My place is full of sunshine that pets can bask in.
About: In addition to growing up on a farm with dogs and many animals, I have had many years of experience not only watching but working with all kinds of animals. I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility for 2 years and I have animal sat (dogs, puppies, cats, farm animals, etc) for family and friends and have become their go to sitter! As a student during the summer, I have an open schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care, including walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention while respecting your home and keeping you updated with photos and messages. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of trustworthy, loving care, and treat every pet like family.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
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.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newport. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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.
