“Wendy was easy to work with and very responsive. She took care of our dog Atticus like he was her own. Atticus seemed very comfortable with her right away. She was very flexible with pick ups and drop offs. I would recommend her to anyone in the area! We would definitely use her services again.”
“We absolutely love Jennifer and her family! They always do an amazing job watching our dog and send regular photos and updates about how he's doing. We look forward to booking with them again!”
“Jan is fantastic! She made me feel so comfortable, especially leaving our new rescue for the first time. She was so wonderful with him and made sure to keep me updated with pictures and how he was doing overall. I highly recommend her. And now my boy has a new Auntie to care for him when we are out of town!”
“Basil and I love Sarah. Basil loves Sarah's big back yard, meeting the school bus, playing with Sarah's kids and dog. This was her second stay with Sarah and I wouldn't even consider leaving her with anyone else.”
“Addison took great care of our Lucy while we were on vacation. She was great with communicating and sending pictures of Lucy having fun with the other pups, we're very happy to have her watch Lucy in the future!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have years of experience house-sitting and caring for pets of all breeds and sizes, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because my schedule is very flexible, with only one online class in the afternoon. Since I have a super flexible schedule, I can work around what helps you and your pet out the most. I follow each pet’s routine, provide safe supervised play, regular walks, feedings, and updates, and create a comfortable environment in my home or clients’ homes.
“Merci and dolce were well cared for and smelt fabulous when I picked them up! Adam was very kind and provided me updates and check ins. Very flexible and my dogs got some snuggles in. Thank you!”
About: I have had dogs all my life. I have taken care of all different breads and sizes. I can handle large/strong dogs as well as puppies that need extra attention. We have kids and our own dog (Beira, the Scottish Terrier) so I know how important good, easy care is. As well as patience and attention. I am available during most days for quick care and walks built around school and kid activities. I have my own car and can make the trips or even transport if needed. Overnight care can be discussed as I'm open to it under a week long. I am flexible enough to meet your pet care needs. Basic walks and play, feeding, medicine distribution, and anything else you need. I myself am active so playing isn't an issue or even giving baths.
“Leanne did such a great job with our girls! I received tons of pictures and daily updates. I could tell they were super comfortable and well taken care of! We will definitely book again in the future!”
About: Hi, I am a passionate and knowledgeable dog walker and pet sitter with a proven track record of excellent client satisfaction. Skilled at providing companionship and handling multiple animals at the same time. I love all animals and can provide you with great communication skills and well-developed time management abilities! I look forward to hearing from you. I am open and available 24/7 for all pet needs. Happy to stay overnight if needed or stop in on the hour for potty breaks and walks. I want your pet to feel as comfortable and loved as possible especially when I, as a stranger will be entering their home. I come with extra treats, toys and snuggles and will let your pet warm up to me at their own pace:)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
Jennifer watched our dog, Riggs, over our wedding weekend in Newport, and I truly don’t know how we would have managed having him be part of our wedding without her! She was incredibly helpful and flexible throughout the entire planning process and weekend. We had friends coordinating drop-off and pick-up with her, and on our wedding day, Riggs came to our ceremony and Jennifer even picked him up from the venue afterward. She made what could have been a complicated weekend so easy and stress-free. She was so kind, patient, and sweet with Riggs, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was with her. We would absolutely reach out to Jennifer again anytime we need someone to watch Riggs in Newport. Highly recommend!
Kolby is hands down the best pet sitter you could hope to find. From our meet-and-greet, I sensed Ben would be in great hands. She has a wonderful setup with a fenced yard and a welcoming, spacious, tidy home. Scout is the sweetest, most playful, well-mannered companion. You can immediately see how much Kolby genuinely loves and understands dogs. Ben's stay with Kolby and Scout somehow exceeded my already high expectations. Kolby treated him like one of her own, with plenty of exercise, playtime with both dogs and people, enrichment, snuggles, and love. I mentioned being worried about the heat, and she made homemade frozen treats for the dogs. She proactively sent thoughtful daily updates with lots of photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Kolby and I joked about how Ben was at summer camp, but it truly was that. He didn't have an adequate stay, he had an enriching stay. When I picked Ben up, he was happy to see me... then immediately ran back to keep playing with Scout. Ben came home happy, relaxed, and honestly better behaved than when I dropped him off. I couldn't ask for a better experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to trust Kolby with him again. If you're considering booking with her, do it, you and your dog will be so glad you did.
Lillian was incredibly friendly, communicative, and clearly cared deeply about our dog’s well-being. Our dog is older and ended up getting sick while staying with her, and she handled everything exceptionally well. She kept us updated, was attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and properly cared for. That level of responsibility and compassion meant a lot to us. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
William did an awesome job with our dog Honcho! Honcho is a Blue Heeler so that means a little quirky and a lot of exercise needed. William handled him super well! He updated us with photos and texts about what they ere up to. Easy to communicate with, responsive. Honestly we were being satisfied. Thanks William!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Newport home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
