“Steven and his wife took such good care of Birdie. Steven sent great updates and photos throughout her stay, and I felt very comfortable leaving Birdie with them for a long weekend. Would definitely book with them again!”
“Hailey was great! She watched our 2 yr old Charlie girl while we were in Newport for a night. Charlie loved her dog Henri which helped her settle in. Hailey sent lots of pictures and videos. I would definitely book her again!”
“I left my dog with Jennifer and it was a wonderful decision. She updated me with pictures and texts all through my trip to let me know that my dog, Sophie, was safe and sound. I feel like she couldn't have been in better care. She was very well taken care of, loved on, spoiled with attention and I knew without a doubt that my dog was safe and having a good time. I highly, highly recommend!!!”
“Yunshu and her family took excellent care of my Mini Schnauzer, Harry. I received photos and videos often while I was away. Her two little girls loved playing and walking Harry So he was kept busy all the time so he didn't have time to miss me. HaHa. Their house is very clean and well kept and I knew he was in great hands when I first visited. I will definitely have Yunshu watch Harry again when I take a trip.”
“Jan is incredible and was so kind with Rex as well as let him come over for a few meet and greets before he stayed the night. She was amazing, sending us updates and pictures constantly and doing everything she could to make him comfortable and happy. We will definitely be using her from now on!”
“Sharon did an awesome job making sure Cricket was happy and comfortable! Cricket is a senior dog who is blind and challenges with hearing and doing steps so caring for her is a bit of a challenge. Cricket has happy and safe - what more could a dog-mommy want?? Thanks, Sharon!”
“Jordan is very sweet and communicative. She has a great, calm energy and we knew immediately she would take great care of our dog. We really appreciated her updates about how he was doing and the funny pictures she sent of him getting on with the other dogs. Jordan even accepted us at the last minute when our previous boarder fell through. House is easy to find and in a good neighborhood. Would definitely recommend!”
“Melissa was a fantastic sitter for our pup! It was his first time staying with someone other than family and we could not have picked a better person! Melissa was so easy going, kept us informed through out his stay, sent pics and videos and even took him on a hike! I felt like he was with someone I knew while he was with Melissa and Sunny! Highly recommend and look forward to more sleepovers for Charlie!”
“Christina was the best Rover we have ever had! We felt so comfortable leaving Bo with Christina while we were traveling overseas. We received daily updates and Bo looked like he was living his best life and getting plenty of exercise. As soon as we got home, Bo slept all day!! Will definitely be bringing Bo back!”
About: I have pet sit cats, dogs, and rabbits, as well as dogwalked since I was 12 years old (2016). I have owned both a kitten before as well as a puppy and now own an adult dog who I helped to crate and potty train. I have housesat for dogs and cats multiple times in my own home as well as theirs for up to weeks in a row. I love animals more than anything on the planet and would love the opportunity for your pet to be cared for by somebody who will shower them with love. I currently only work 2 hour shifts twice a week so I am at home most of the time and usually all day on weekends. I am a senior at Salve Regina University so I do have class, but am not usually gone for more than 2.5 hours at a time. I have a pet-safe apartment and am home most of the time for potty breaks, feeding, walks, and overall engagement. They are allowed on all furniture and I treat them as if they are my own. I will also respect your rules if we are in your home and will try and make them feel as comfortable as possible in their normal environment.
“Stevie was very happy during her stay. We loved that she had other dogs to play with and a big yard. Received updates and pictures often that gave us piece of mind. Will definitely be booking again. Thanks again Dana!”
“Sarah and her family are super-sitters! She was flexible, accomodating, and most importantly made Leia feel like a member of their family. Our pooch really loved spending quality time at Sarah’s home and with other doggie guests. We will certainly book with Sarah again; and also refer her to friends who stay in RI. Overall, this was a great experience from initial communications through the entire week stay. Thank you so much Sarah and family for being so inviting and hospitable to Leia and our family.”
“she was absolutely amazing! gave us updates daily on our cat Drax while we were away! she was so sweet aswell and let us ask all the questions so we felt comfortable. she took excellent care of him aswell!!!!”
About: I grew up taking care of dogs, cats and horses. I had my own dogs, Trooper for 16 years and Rusty for 14 years. I have cared for friend's dogs and my grand dogs for 1 day to 1 month. I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. I will maintain schedules as well as training and discipline. I will treat them as my own with lots of love and affection, knowing they my miss their parents. I work from home so fitting pet care into my schedule is not an issue. I walked my own dogs every morning in the neighborhood or to the beach. Afternoon neighborhood walks or romps in the big backyard are often on the agenda. I have a single family, single story home with a fenced yard in a great neighborhood. I will treat your pet as my own, keeping their routine as close to normal as possible.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
Mattea watched our pup for a weekend while we traveled in Newport, and she was wonderful!! We booked a bit last minute and she was so accommodating. Our pup was well-cared for, and we got regular updates and photos. I would absolutely ask her to watch our pup again if and when we travel back to Newport!
I can't say enough great things about Chey! It was so comforting to be able to leave my dog Dolly and know she was being so well taken care of. Chey treats her doggie clients like one of her own. I would highly recommend her and wouldn't hesitate to use her again! Cindy G.
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.
Theresa took amazing care of our boxer! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. She went on plenty of walks, got lots of attention, and we received wonderful updates showing all the fun she was having. Theresa is incredibly kind, genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and her responsiveness is outstanding. We always felt completely at ease knowing our pup was safe, happy, and well-loved. Highly recommend Theresa!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newport on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 698 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Newport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
89% of Newport sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Newport landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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 RI 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.
