“Colleen went above and beyond, taking my dog for a walk instead of just letting her out. She was very responsive, and provided plenty of photos and updates. Highly recommend and will be using her again!”
“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!”
About: I am a life-long animal lover with 7+ years experience as a veterinary technician and boarding kennel attendant. I have pretty much seen it all when it comes to pet care! Along with my experience in taking care of other’s beloved pets (feeding, walking, training, play times), I am also able to administer any type of medications (oral, topical, injections) and am confident in taking care of pets with any medical needs, especially senior dogs. Being a kennel attendant and vet tech, I know that so many dogs struggle with anxiety, especially when they’re separated from their owners. I have lots of experience with these kinds of dogs and can assure your fur baby will feel safe and comfortable with me. I genuinely just love spending my free time with animals of all shapes and sizes, and making sure they have the best experience while under my care. Consider me for any of your pet care needs! I am an independent contractor, therefore my schedule is very flexible. My partner primarily works from home, so there is always someone home to look after your pet. We are a very active couple who loves going for walks, visiting dog parks, swimming, jogging, hiking, etc. Your pet will have potty breaks every 1-2 hours to ensure their comfort. We are open to dog boarding or day care in our home. We are also open to dog walking. We have a small fenced in yard behind our apartment, which makes potty breaks a breeze. We have a 5 year old Aussiedoodle who loves other dogs. We are always keeping a close on your pets when they are getting acquainted and for feedings. They are allowed on the furniture. We have multiple dog beds, no crates necessary if your dog is house trained.
About: I grew up having dogs and cats and love them both. Taking care of them from kitten/puppyhood to the end of their life. This helped me to understand how their needs change with age. During my time living oversees I rescued several street animals and have brought 4 of them back here to the US. In caring for the animals of others while they are away I've learned how to gain their trust as the newcomer. Animals are a total joy. My primary secular work is from home and flexible, so I'm able to accommodate your schedule as needed. Pet care is scheduled regularly throughout my day and week. Since all pets and their owners are individuals I respect the routines already in place to the best of my ability. But I always spend time petting and playing with them rather than just doing the basics.
“Orla is the BEST! Very caring, gentle, and detail oriented. This is the first time I've left my kitties with a sitter and I can't believe how lucky we got with Orla. Thank you so much for your loving care!”
“My kitty was quite elderly, with some special needs. So when I had a last-minute need for a drop-in visit, I wanted to be extra sure to find someone very reliable, willing to do meds, and very gentle with the kitty. Emily is all that, and more! I would happily call on her again.”
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
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have experience training them with basic commands. Over the years, I’ve cared for four Labs and two rescue dogs, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. After moving to Newport, I’ve really missed being around dogs and would love to treat yours like family while they’re in my care. I especially enjoy long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs feel happy, safe, and loved. I’ll also send plenty of photos and updates so you always feel connected to your pup! I am free to walk any weekday after 3pm and anytime during the weekend. As long as I have a couple days warning, I can fit it into my schedule I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. In a client’s home, I respect their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and energy level to make sure they feel relaxed and cared for. I also keep owners updated with plenty of pictures and messages so they can feel at ease while away. My goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where pets are treated like family.
About: I’ve owned 3 dogs and from 8weeks til elderly . I’ve trained dogs of a variety of ages and I have plenty of patience and understanding to go around. I’ve fed, walked, played, and bathed dogs of family friends and neighbors I am currently in school part time So I have a pretty open schedule in the afternoon and on weekends. I love to run in the mornings and during the day as well. Unfortunately, The home I am renting does not allow pets so I am offering house sitting, drop in visits, and dog walking services. I need to know the feeding schedule and where their things are located
About: I am a young, active professional working from home. I would love to bring my space and passion for exercise to your dogs. In between walks, my home will welcome any size pet with a large porch and open living area. Depending on your dog's eating habits, a typical day would wake up to breakfast, go for a nice walk to the backyard and/ or nearby park, be home for either play time or porch time, a midday walk is a must, and dinner too. A total of 4 walks, including before bed, are likely from my experience. On weekends I like to adventure to a nearby hike. Please let me know if your dog is car friendly! I welcome any special requests that you may have.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Newport stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Newport with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
