“Cheyauna exceeded expectations! She was so communicative, she handled my 5 yr old and my puppy with extreme care and specific to their needs, and she even went above and beyond to come before the trip to meet and play with them for comfort. Anything that we asked she did that and more. Now that we have used Cheyauna we honestly couldn’t imagine going with anyone else in the future. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!”
“We needed help last minute and Victoria showed up within 2 hours. She was extremely helpful and communicative. She was really good with our pup. Definitely would hire her again!”
“Tanya was an amazing cat sitter. We were nervous leaving our cat for the first time, but Tanya settled our nerves with her communication and pictures of our cat throughout the weekend. Thanks again!”
“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!”
About: I was the owner of a German Shepherd for two years and I’ve taken care of my friends pets. Both cats and dogs for many years. I prefer to visit the client's home because it reduces a lot of anxiety for the animal. Your pet being in their own space will guarantee they are more comfortable, and you will not have to pack food and toys. I like to keep my dog entertained, fed, and happy!! I take him on long walks in our neighborhood and provide him with lots of chew toys to keep him occupied. I generally try to observe other dog’s personality and approach them lots of love and encouragement
“I was nervous leaving Willow with a stranger for the first time but the detailed updates and attentiveness Margaret gave me and Willow eased that. I would definitely recommend Margaret!”
“Iris was awesome to work with! She is very detail oriented in letting you know what is going on with your fur babies. She sent several messages and pictures throughout the day to keep me in the loop. I would definitely recommend booking with Iris!”
About: I have owned dogs, cats, and even reptiles for most of my life so I understand how difficult it can be to find someone reliable and trustworthy to babysit or just walk my fur babies. Life is always busy, so I joined rover to help my fellow owners. I work part time, so my schedule is a little different each week but I will work with u as much as I can. Fridays and Saturdays I cannot work throughout the summer. I have an automatic feeder for my own cat at home always making sure she’s fed and also a water fountain so she always has access to water. My dog always has water available and had a scheduled feed and outside time

About: Ive been a dog owner my whole life (currently dog-less!) and would love to walk and play with your pup to get my fix! I plan on getting a did soon but until then..I can take care of yours! I work full-time but have a schedule that would allow me to help out on certain days and times. Wednesdays and Saturdays off. I can help before and after work also. I have a fenced yard and live near Eastons Pond, a great walking spot for dogs. My house is clean and cozy, perfect for a small dog to do a sleepover.
About: I have cared for cats and all sizes of dogs since I was young. I’ve been my neighbors’ go to for pet sitting and I enjoy every opportunity I get to spend with a new furry friend! I am a full time college student, however, my schedule is extremely flexible. I will always make your fur babies a priority and I can’t wait to meet them! My mornings are completely free as are Fridays, and I have early afternoons so your fur baby will get lots of attention and playtime! :) I can easily crate dogs if needed. I was raised with two dogs and a cat, and I have two cats at home, so I am familiar with all types of cat care as well as care for big dogs.
“Rosie was absolutely amazing! It was like having a friend come over to hang out with the dogs. They took to her (as did us humans) right away. I knew from the minute I looked at her profile that she was the one for us. We’ve never used a sitter before but I was comfortable with Rosie before she ever arrived just from my conversations with her online. Please don’t hesitate to hire her, you will not be disappointed.”
“I booked Nikolay to check in with my 2 cats and give one of them meds for a few days while I was away. During the meet and greet I was very happy to see that my cats LOVED him and he seemed very comfortable with them. He did a great job giving my cat his medicine and everything went great! I came home from my trip to 2 happy cats! I definitely recommend him and will definitely book again when I go out of town!”
“Chelsea was great with Freddie! Her comments were funny and definitely gave me a good idea about how loved he was while I was gone. The pics were cute, and I know big Fred was well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Chelsea!”
“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!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
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.
Mackenzie was absolutely amazing! Took such great care of our 2 kitties plus my son’s cat who was staying with us! She was punctual, responsive and sent us updates and pictures! We will absolutely use her again and highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs! Thank you so much Mackenzie 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Newport on Rover is $19.98 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 923 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
- 99% 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.
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.
