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!

About: I grew up taking care of dogs, cats, horses and more. I have had my own family dogs over the years, Trooper for 16 years and Rusty for 14 years.

I will do my best to maintain their schedules as well as training and discipline. I will treat them as my own with lots of love and affection, knowing they may 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.

I will treat your pet as my own, keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. I love animals and will take great care of your fur baby.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Newport choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
