“Wednesday had a great time with Brian's family over Thanksgiving! The house is set up where dogs can be separated if they need a break (without being shut up in a bedroom) and the fenced back yard is huge. I would definitely recommend him.”
“Kate was extremely nice and went out of her way for us. Our trip was last minute and we didn’t know where we were going so it was very chaotic. She was sup with nice despite me being very unorganized and allowed our dog to stay an extra night so the kids could have some extra time at the sledding park that we found. Gryffin had so much fun and I loved the pictures she sent. I highly recommend her and will definitely call her the next time we are going somewhere!!”
“Kim is simply the best. She’s been a sitter for me for years and I trust her wholeheartedly with my pup. I’m always so grateful for her taking the best care and can fully relax knowing my dog is in the absolute best care. Wouldn’t ever hesitate for a second booking with her and again so so thankful for her!”
“Chey took great care of our girl. She had great communication and flexibility. I would highly recommend Cheyto anyone. Will will use her next time we visit the area”
“Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.”
“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!”
“Jennifer took such good care of our dog Amelia. I was originally very apprehensive about leaving our dog with a sitter for a whole month, but turns out I had nothing to worry about. Jennifer was communicative ahead of time, and let us come by to meet her and see the house. From that meeting it was clear she and her family had a lot of experience and that Amelia would be in good hands. During the stay we got daily updates and the cutest photos. Jennifer’s daughter is a pro too, and also adorable, and gave our dog all the cuddles while we were gone. And when we had an emergency and had to pick Amelia up a couple days later than planned, Jennifer was so gracious and accommodating. We can’t thank Jennifer and her family enough!!”
“We are so happy to have found Sharon! Our dog, Yuna, stayed with her for about a week over the holiday. It was our first time leaving our dog with someone she didn’t know, but Sharon made us feel at ease by sending us pictures and updates every day. She was also so easy to communicate and coordinate with. Yuna had a blast going on walks, playing in the yard, and resting with Sharon. Thank you!”
“Kolby is a fantastic sitter! She watched my dog for 8 nights and I felt so relieved to know that he was in such good hands. Kolby is very communicative as well, sending me daily updates with pictures. Thank you, Kolby!”
“John is a present, focused sitter that I quickly came to trust with my high energy, Raphael. I appreciate him being available at the last minute to take him on during a holiday weekend! He was a great sitter!”
About: I have taken care of other peoples pets, although I have never had my own I will make sure to give your pet the best treatment. I love walking and exercising. I will make sure that your dog gets plenty of steps! I work a job either 8-4 or 9-5 I am flexible and get up early. I would take care of your pet before and after work I do not want pets in my home. I have roommates and I am not allowed to have them in my house but I am open to going to your house
“This is our second time booking with Madison and she is amazing! We were delayed a few hours coming back from our trip and she was really sweet and flexible. Madison sent pictures of our pups each day and she is quick to respond to messages. Definitely booking with her again!”
“Addison did an amazing job watching our long haired mini dachshund Liza over the holidays. She was welcomed into the home and treated like one of the family. Addison gave us regular updates, pays attention to details and is very loving. Liza had the best time and all the snuggles she could want. I would definitely recommend Addison to care for your pets.”
“Melissa took great care of our dog while we were away for a wedding! Easy to communicate with, sent regular pictures and updates, and our pup came home nice and tired from all the fun!”
“Recently relocated back to the area and needed to find a dog sitter for my 8lbs Chi/Terrier mix. Have always had great experiences with Rover.com, but this time we hit the jackpot!! Perfect family to care for my little guy while I get away for a little me time. Knowing he’s well taken care of and loved.”
“Bentley and I just moved to Rhode Island, and it’s been a hard transition for him. I’ve been especially anxious about leaving him during this adjustment period, but Yunshu immediately made me feel at ease. From the start, I knew he was in good hands. She sent so many thoughtful pictures and videos, and in every single one he looked happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable. That meant everything to me. It’s clear she truly cares and takes the time to make dogs feel safe and loved. She was wonderful with Bentley, and I’m so incredibly thankful to have found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Newport is $55
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
Jennifer was a wonderful sitter for Leo! ♥️ Leo is often a little restless his first night away from us, and Jennifer slept with Leo on the couch to calm him down. She was also very responsive and communicative — we appreciated all the updates and photos. We are grateful Jennifer took such good care of Leo so that we could take a trip to visit one of our (human) sons! ☺️☺️
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!
We cannot recommend Kolby enough! We dropped the ball on arranging care for our dog, Penny during our wedding weekend. Not only did we need someone to watch Penny, but also needed someone to bring her to our venue, as she was an important part of our wedding ceremony. On very short notice, we found Kolby through Rover, and she exceeded every expectation. From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she loves dogs and makes them feel safe and at home. She went above and beyond to care for Penny, kept us updated with daily photos, and ensured everything went smoothly on our big day. Thanks to Kolby, Penny was happy, cared for, and our wedding went off without a hitch!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Newport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newport on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 705 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.
