“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“I can tell my dogs felt loved and comfortable at Brooke’s house. The house has a securely fenced-in yard. Brooke kept me updated and reassured me that my sensitive dog Jazzy was not feeling abandoned.”
“Raelyn was great! Super flexible with drop off/ pick up times and she had no complaints about my high energy dog which was a relief. We will definitely be booking again!”
About: I grew up on a farm with horses dogs and cats. I worked for veterinarians where I helped with cat and dog surgeries, kitten & puppy births and care of many wonderful dogs and cats. I have retired from my office job of 20 years and am looking forward to time taking care of and sitting for animals and being outside. I am able to have small dogs and cats in my home to sit or board overnight and I am able to stay at your home with all size dogs and cats.
“Kristen is a dog/puppy expert. She embraced Bono right away and made him part of her human and dog family. He had so much fun there. She sent me daily updates and let me know he was doing great. It was our first time leaving him so we were nervous, but he was well cared for and had a great time. Thanks for loving him all weekend!”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've never been without a pet, so caring for them is second nature. For many years I also volunteered as a foster, which taught me how to help nervous, shy, or recovering animals settle in and feel safe. Professionally, I'm a Registered Nurse. That means I'm comfortable giving oral medications, sticking to precise feeding and medication schedules, and noticing subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy that could signal a problem. Senior pets, special-needs pets, and animals recovering from surgery are in especially good hands with me. You'll get detailed updates and photos, and I'll follow your routine exactly as you'd do it yourself. My goal is simple: your pet stays calm and comfortable, and you get real peace of mind. I run my own care consulting business, so I have flexibility in my day and can plan visits around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I keep a structured, organized schedule — a habit from nursing — so feedings, walks, and medications happen on time, every time. I'll confirm availability before each booking so I can give your pet my full attention. Your pet's safety is my top priority. My home has a fully fenced-in yard, so dogs can play, explore, and take potty breaks securely without ever being off-leash in an open area. I share my home with Murphy, my well-trained Goldendoodle. He's gentle and submissive, which makes him an easygoing companion for visiting dogs, including shy or nervous ones. He also has his own crate, so I can give each pet individual time and attention and keep things calm when a guest needs space.
“Kristen was a wonderful dog sitter. Our 15 year old gal was well cared for. We received daily text and photo updates during her stay. We will definitely use Kristen again and highly recommend her to you!”
“This is Sphinx 2nd time staying with Nikkita and he ran in the house as if it was home. Communication was excellent during his stay and she was able to accommodate dropping him off at the last minute since we were unable to pick him up. Our previous sitter moved from the area so we are grateful to have found her and our dog seems to love his stays!”
“I’m so glad I found Emily! We have boarded our dogs several weeks a year for over 50 years. This was the best experience ever. Emily is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and all their quirks and unique needs. Her house and backyard are very well set up for the best care ever. I plan to contact her for help with leash training our huskies.”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life....all ages and sizes! It's important to me that they feel safe and comfortable in my home. I work Part Time, and I am available for boarding Thursday- Sunday. My schedule is flexible and I can usually adjust to your scheduling needs. I have a fully fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs of my own, for your pup to play with. I also have plenty of room for all crate sizes, if that is preferred.
“Kate was absolutely amazing with our pup, Swift! After having our normal boarding facility cancel on us due to overbooking before a vacation, I quickly visited rover to see if I could find a suitable match for Swift. Kate responded in about 10 minutes and accepted the booking, a true life saver! Swift loved his time at Kate’s beautiful home. He has been pooped since you pickup and I know he truly got the attention and exercise that he needs. Kate sent tons of pictures which really eased my mind while I was on vacation. Thank you again Kate! We will be back.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Penny’s stay! From start to finish, she was communicative and kept us updated with regular messages and adorable pictures, so we always knew Penny was in good hands. Penny came back happy, relaxed, and clearly entertained—she even seemed to have had her own little vacation! We’re so grateful for the care and attention Penny received and highly recommend Janet’s services to any pet parent. We will definitely be booking again!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who would love to welcome your furry family member into my home. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, so my goal is to make their stay comfortable, safe, and full of love. Your pet will be treated like one of my own—with plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions that help them feel at home. I have a comfortable, welcoming home and I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers curling up on the couch and relaxing, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with photos, videos and messages during their stay, because I know you’ll want to see that your pup is happy and having a great time! I also do drop in dog daycare at my home and dog walks. I would love the opportunity to give your pet a safe, loving home away from home. 🐶❤️ Please ask me about available discounts when you book your first service ☺️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and can make their needs a priority while they’re in my home. I’m happy to follow their normal routines for meals, walks, playtime, and rest so they feel comfortable and at home. Your pup will be treated like family from the moment they arrive! 🐾 I’ll stick to their usual feeding schedule and make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention throughout the day. And when it’s time to relax or sleep, they’re welcome wherever they’re most comfortable—on their bed, the couch, or right beside me. ❤️ My home is their home while they’re here! I have a safe fenced in yard but I will always go outside to play with them for added security.
“Jen did an amazing job caring for Rio! She kept us informed everyday by sending updates and beautiful pictures of him. Jen took him on walks, the dog park, and lake. She even taught him a new trick. Jen and her husband are both just really great, caring individuals. We were so fortunate to have them watch our doggie. Highly recommend!”
“We are so thankful for Donna, she really loves caring for BamBino. She sent pictures every day of their walks, playing together, of BamBino relaxing and napping. BamBino was loved and cuddled, like he is at home. She followed his feeding instructions and took him on many walks throughout the day. He came back home happy and healthy. We highly recommend Donna.”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Newport can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Newport home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Newport.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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

- 95% 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.
You and your Newport sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
