“Margaret is always great to work with. She sends us regular updates while we’re away and takes the time to give our cat some pets, even though he is often very difficult to find. We would definitely recommend her.”
“Rosie was amazing! She was attentive to my cat’s needs and followed all my instructions for care to a tee. She is loving and caring toward animals and her ability to connect with my pet’s needs was outstanding. I loved the daily pictures she posted. It made me feel less anxious while I was away.”
“Mary was so kind and quick in response! She came over to meet our animals and so we could show her their routines. Our animals were well cared for and loved!’ Communication was great throughout!”
“Victoria is an incredible pet sitter!! She watched my cat Glinda while I was away and immediately put me at ease with how thoughtful and communicative she was. I can tell she really cares about the pet she is sitting for and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy. I would highly recommend and will certainly be hiring Victoria again.”
About: Hello! I’m a stay at home mom with a lively 2 year old, and two big pups of my own! We have tons of time during the day for dogs walks or drop in visits. I’m a full-time stay at home mom, so besides our routine nap time (11-1), we have tons of time during the day to spend with your pup! I have a big fenced in backyard where we do lots of running around and playing with our dogs. We’re also a very active family and go on frequent walks throughout the day.
“Cheyauna was the absolute best sitter ever!!! We were unbelievably happy our kitty was in her care for over a week! She made us feel super reassured and we were extremely confident that not only our baby, but our place was well taken care of. She thinks of the little things and is very thorough, professional, and communicative. Absolutely recommend her!!!”
“~Hello, my name is Elizabeth and this is my story. I am an all white, American Short Hair Cat. I tend to be very shy and I like gentle, quiet people. Most people think I'm pretty, but you'd have to be the judge of that. My human mother (who I love dearly), is a bit over-protective (And that's putting it mildly.) I think "neurotic" would be a better word to describe her. She had a lot of anxiety about going on vacation and leaving me with a Cat Nanny. And I mean a LOT of anxiety. She was even driving my Dad crazy. Little did we know that things were about to change... when Kimberly came into our lives. Immediately we could tell she was a warm, kind person who genuinely loves animals. ~Kimberly took care of me and stayed overnight at my house. She fed me, gave me my meds and made sure my water bowls were clean and full. She took care of my litter box and kept it nice and clean, just the way I like it. She cuddled me and combed me the whole time. Boy, did I feel the love ! We also had a great time posing for all those photos we sent to Mom and Dad during the weekend. We even brought the mail in. ~But best of all, it was so nice having company at my house. When I woke up in the morning, Kimberly was there to give me my breakfast. And that's not an easy task because I have to eat very slowly due to my sensitive stomach. (Believe me, you don't want to see a cat lose her breakfast. It's not pretty.) But Kimberly was very patient and took good care of me. Ok, so I really need to apologize for getting her up, way too early in the morning, (Sorry Kimberly), but we did go back to sleep for a while. ~Now I don't want to hurt my Mom's feelings (I kind of missed her a little while she was away) but I sure had a lot of fun with Kimberly ! It was a great "Girls Weekend." And I just can't wait to see her again. In fact, both Mom and Dad were so delighted with Kimberly, that they are now planning their next vacation; a winter CRUISE. And the BEST PART?...I get to be with my new best friend, Kimberly. Bon Voyage, Mom and Dad! Have a great time !”
“Charlie was a fantastic pet sitter. My 3 cats are challenging, needing to all be fed separately and kept separate while I’m away! I’m sure it was difficult to juggle feeding each one, separately, changing water dishes, scooping 2 boxes at opposite ends of the house, making sure no one escaped from their partitioned areas, all in a half hour - and finding time for a little love or play. Charlie reported any uncertainties that arose, and sent me pictures at the end of each visit which was very much appreciated! I felt at ease knowing my little rapscallions were in her hands. Her rates are reasonable and fair, and I would heartily recommend her!”
“Stevie-Rae is an excellent pet sitter! She took such great care of our cats while we were away. We will definitely reach out for her services again. Highly recommend!”
“Jen took care of my pet rabbit for a week and a half and I could not have asked for a better caretaker! From feeding to exercise, Jen was on top of it! I especially appreciated how great her communication was--she always promptly responded and sent photos every day. At one point Annie ran out of food and Jen had no problem going out for more and she even cleaned up her cage! Jen is easily the best sitter I've had on Rover and is my #1 choice in the area!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 9 years old. I’ve had two dogs that my sisters and I took care of making sure they got along well and played with each other. I’ve also taken care of my neighbors dogs while they were away on vacation. I’m currently on a long winter break from college, so I’ll have plenty of free time to care for your dogs! I have open availability from 11am to 8pm Monday through Friday, and open availability 10am to 9:30pm Saturday and Sunday. I can care for pets in a client’s home by abiding by a walking and feeding schedule, as well as playing with the pets and giving them lots of love.
“I was looking for some help with a very elderly kitty ~ so he really needs someone who can be very gentle with him, and at the same time very competent. Jessi is absolutely both. I would definitely call her again! Also, I had to search at the very last moment, which turned out to be no problem!”
About: I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m especially patient with senior dogs, making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never rushed. I also absolutely love puppies and have plenty of patience for their energy, playtime, and little accidents along the way! Whether your dog wants to play, go for a walk, or just cuddle on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule with having classes very spaced out throughout the day. I am able to stop by at almost any time. Since I’m a college student, I’m not able to have pets stay with me in my dorm, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable. I’ll follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles while giving them lots of attention and care. I want every pet to feel safe and loved while their owners are away, and I’m always happy to send updates and pictures!
“My kitty was quite elderly, with some special needs. So when I had a last-minute need for a drop-in visit, I wanted to be extra sure to find someone very reliable, willing to do meds, and very gentle with the kitty. Emily is all that, and more! I would happily call on her again.”
About: About Me I treat every pet like my own and strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, including administering medications when needed. Whether in your home or mine, your pet will receive plenty of love, exercise, and attention.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
Aaron was absolutely fantastic! From our first meeting Dylan ("the cat") walked right over to meet him-- which he never does even with folks he's met before. I knew from that moment that Aaron was going to be great. Each day he sent me several photos of Dylan along with a report on his eating, hairballs (ewww), etc.and took the time to play with him. I can't recommend Aaron highly enough, except that I hope he will always have an opening in his schedule for Dylan & me.-- SAS, Newport, RI
Iris was FANTASTIC!!! She was easy to communicate with and loves your animals like her own. She is attentive to little things like an open window in the rain so your place is equally taken care. Could not be happier with our experience - we got so many great photos of our kitty enjoying playtime and treats while we were gone!
Stevie-Rae did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. I felt 100% confident that they were well taken care of. She sent pictures each day to show that they warmed up to her even though they are very, very shy around people they don’t know. I highly recommend her to you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Newport on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 932 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Newport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newport. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
