House Sitting in Newport

About: I started as the neighborhood dog walker when I was 13 and since then have taken care of my family and friends dogs from small Shih Tzus to large Goldens. I am currently working full time locally. My work schedule is Monday to Friday from 7:30-4:30 but I am available for early morning, afternoon or weekend walks. When watching your pet in your home or just taking them for a walk, I will always respect you and your dogs needs and boundaries and take care of them as if they’re my own!

About: I have been taking care of my own dog since I was 12 years old. I have recently started dog sitting for others in the last 2-3 years. I have the most experience with medium to large sized dogs and have no issues with the small dogs as well! I love to take the dogs I watch for walks/hikes around the area (if they are able to). I have experience with up to two dogs at a time as well as senior-aged dogs. I work in the public schools during the school year, but during the summer I am free much more often to take care of all your pet needs. I am available most weekdays and weekends for house sitting, dog walking or just stopped-in services for potty breaks. I have been actively dog sitting for 3-4 years now. I take the utmost care of your pets as well as your home! I will make sure to leave your home in the same state or better than it was when I entered your home. I know how important pets and animals can be and I can 100% be trusted with your animals and your home!

“I cannot say enough good things about Nicole! I have two dogs and two cats one of them being a senior who is high maintenance and she handled all of them with ease. She was responsive when I contacted her and kept me informed throughout her stay as to how all my babies were doing. I highly recommend her as a compassionate and patient pet sitter!”

“Camilla took great care of my two shy kitties while I was away for a few nights. She followed their routines closely, sent regular updates, and did a wonderful job helping them warm up to her. It is clear that she genuinely enjoys caring for animals, and she also left the house nice and tidy!”

“Emily was an incredible sitter for our chiweenie, Max. He’s a very anxious dog and she was able to not only calm him but make him her bestie in five short days. We appreciated having her in our home: she is neat, punctual and took great care of our space. 10/10 would recommend!!!”

Jasmine S.

“Laura is amazing! She kept my very active golden retriever entertained and happy while we were gone for a week! She sent many updated pictures keeping my mom guilt at bay while gone.”

“Margaret was kind, professional, and great with our animals. Having only ever had very "okay" experiences with pet sitters in the recent past, it is so refreshing to say that we found someone who made it very easy to feel as though our fur family was in great hands and our pets very clearly felt comfortable with her out of the gate. She sent daily updates and kept our dogs very active which we loved. I can't recommend her services enough!”

About: I grew up with a chocolate lab, Sid (my OG best friend), who I learned to take care of at a very young age. Most of my friends and family have pets who I’ve helped take care of since then. While I was living in Brooklyn, I consistently worked with two families, one with a small dog and one with two dogs, one small and one large. I’m very experienced with dogs of all sizes, but recently have also gotten experience caring for cats. I love all animals and can’t wait to meet yours! I’m currently on an academic schedule, so I’m basically free everyday before 6pm (unless stated otherwise). I can be very flexible with my hours over summer. I am very confident I will keep your pet safe from any potential hazards. One of the dogs I have cared for for the past two years is a reactive dog, so I also have a lot of experience keeping reactive dogs safe and happy on walks. I’ve been an athlete my whole life, so I am confident managing dogs of all sizes on walks. I have lots of experience with boarding/overnight care with dogs. I always try to get to know the dogs first through meet and greets or walks before spending a night with them so they are comfortable with me. I have experience with high energy, low energy, and senior dogs so I can easily adjust my schedule and care for them based on what they need!

About: I provide personalized care tailored to your pet’s unique needs, giving extra love and patience to senior dogs or ensuring consistency with their routines. With years of experience and a genuine passion for animals, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m available Friday night and weekends to provide attentive and loving care to your furry friends. On, weekdays, I can do walks in the mornings or after 4pm, and I’m free anytime on weekends. As an avid runner, I’d love to have your per join me for some exercise. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. I follow their usual routines, give them plenty of attention, and ensure they feel at ease. From feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles, I treat every pet like family.

“Hayley was great with my two dogs. Plenty of walks, playtime and exercise. Took care of my house like it was her own, and did not have any issues. Would book again!”

Storm H.

“Victoria was amazing! She sent lots of pictures of our dog while we were away which is always the best. She was quick to respond to any questions or messages. Always glad to know our pets are in good hands!”

Emily B.

“Colleen was absolutely wonderful! She watched our pup during our wedding festivities. She was so helpful and communicative and we are so lucky to have found her! We will definitely book again when back in Newport!”

About: I've lived with and owned cats and dogs since I can remember. The last couple years are my first time not owning a pet since losing my 14 year-old Dachshund in 2022. I'm looking to establish and grow local connections and I look forward to the fulfillment I will receive from spending time with, playing with and caring for others' pets! I've taken care of cats, dogs, rodents, and bearded dragons for many years. I'm the go-to person for my friends and family to contact for assistance with grooming, overnight stays, and support or advice when health issues arise or behaviors change. I learned it all by experience and my mom who was a veterinary technician for Dr. Cates and later worked at the Potter League. I currently work full-time in a remote hybrid position. I'm home in Middletown three days out of the five day work week and I'm available weekends. I take pride in the fact my friend's family loves that I leave their home looking like I was never there. I believe in upholding the pets typical schedule regarding walks, going out, play, feedings and medicine if needed.

About: Hi there! My name is Jessica and I am always excited to meet new furry friends! Growing up in the family home we had cats. It wasn’t until five years ago, when my best friend with four paws walked into my life, that I took care of a dog first-hand. My boy Gabe is a 90lbs (fixed) black lab/german shepherd mix who was 3 when I first got him, and now is 8 years old. I am somebody who understands that our pets are like our children and they deserve to be taken care as such. I am responsible, down-to-earth, loving, and fun! Not to mention patient, understanding, and willing to work with different/difficult situations. Extremely flexible schedule mornings and nights weekdays, sometimes weekends. I can be up as early or as late as you might need, let me know! I live nearby where there is a fenced in area for dogs to do their business off-leash, complete with doggie bags and a trash can.

About: As a dog owner of many rescues pups and the the person who friends call on when they travel I know I'm the person to help your fur baby out when needed I am currently working full-time remotely so I will be here for your fur babies all day long! I love to break up the day at lunch and walk as well! Plus it is lonely working all alone! I need the company. I am a forever dog owner who misses having a dog of my own! My last dog nickname was princess and the pea because she refused to sit on hard surfaces :) I'm happy to treat you fur babies with the same amount of love and follow all their house rules!

About: Ive been a dog owner my whole life (currently dog-less!) and would love to walk and play with your pup to get my fix! I plan on getting a did soon but until then..I can take care of yours! I work full-time but have a schedule that would allow me to help out on certain days and times. Wednesdays and Saturdays off. I can help before and after work also. I have a fenced yard and live near Eastons Pond, a great walking spot for dogs. My house is clean and cozy, perfect for a small dog to do a sleepover.

“Thank you so very much for your flexibility. Izzy loves you.”

About: I love animals and have a consistently dog-sat animals from 8 pounds to 90 pounds. I treat my clients animals like they are my own! Lots of walks and baths if needed! References can be given upon request :) I am currently a teacher so my weeknights are free after 4pm, and I have availability on weekends. I will have afternoons and weekends available during the summer (After June 20th). My summer school schedule is still being finalized, and I will update as quick as possible! During the summer I would be able to give potty breaks every 4-6 hours versus the school year when I am not home from 8-4. I have a partially fenced yard with no other animals around. I live in an apartment but there is a separate guest room so that animals can have some extra room!

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 11! I did it for free for many years just because I love dogs, and am now a grad student looking for a little extra income. I’m currently working part time and am a student with a flexible schedule so I will have plenty of time to care for your pups! I can easily crate your dog if needed, am well versed in tiring out an excited pup (I have a German Shepherd of my own), and can handle dogs of any size!

About: I’ve cared for two dogs and a cat long-term, and I actually used to have a small home “zoo” — so I’m no stranger to animals with different needs and personalities! I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and keeping pets calm and happy when their owners are away. Whether it’s giving extra attention to an energetic pup or being gentle with a shy cat, I adapt easily and treat every animal like part of the family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I’ve been caring for my own cat for the past 3 years, feeding, playtime, grooming, and cleaning the litter box are already part of my everyday routine. I enjoy creating calm, consistent environments for animals, and I’m flexible with my schedule, so I can easily make time for pet sitting, check-ins, or extended visits throughout the week. Taking care of animals doesn’t feel like a task—it’s something I truly enjoy. In a client’s home, I stick closely to the pet’s usual routine—feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—so they feel secure and relaxed. I always respect the space, keep things tidy, and give regular updates to the owner. If pets are staying in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I make sure they get individual attention, and I keep things clean, especially litter boxes, food areas, and sleeping spots. My goal is to make every pet feel like they’re at home, even when their humans are away.
