“Kyleigh B is very attentive and she sent me lots of great pictures of my Jack. I would not hesitate boarding Jack with Kyleigh again. Jack got lots of cuddles and play time, and my husband and I were very appreciative of her attention to Jack.”
“Paige is a wonderful sitter! She was warm and welcoming to our two dogs, and sent updates (including an adorable video of her child playing with our dogs!). Her house is spacious for the dogs to stretch out, and the fenced yard was ideal. I especially appreciate her flexibility when our flight (and therefore our return home) was delayed by a few hours. Highly recommend!”
“Isabel is best! She and her husband took amazing care of our two dogs while we were away. They are excellent communicators and sent us really thoughtful updates throughout the week. You can tell Isabel is an animal lover and a responsible & caring person right away, so we felt at ease leaving our dogs in her care. She also has two very sweet and adorable dogs, so it was nice to know our dogs had some canine company to hang out with while we were away. Thank you again Isabel and Shawn!”
“Danielle was fantastic! She suggested meeting up before our trip so that we could meet and Pretzel could get familiar with her house, which I really appreciated. She was super communicative while we were away and sent lots of photos and videos. Our dog was all smiles in every picture; I could tell they were having a blast together. 10/10 would recommend Danielle and I absolutely plan on contacting her again the next time we go away.”
“Kylie was a happy camper with her stay with David. David sent pictures or videos of Kylie everyday. Made my vacation stress free not having to worry about my Kylie. Thank you David.”
“Alexa was lovely and took excellent care of my dog. Will definitely recommend her! She was very friendly, attentive to details, and was always on top of everything, sending pictures and everything.”
“Anely is absolutely amazing! I have a 7 month old puppy with high energy and she did amazing. Also she is super accommodating with an early 7am drop off need ! Couldn’t be happier and will definitely be using her again when needed! ◡̈”
About: I have watched family, friends, cats and dogs while they go on vacation I really enjoy watching animals. It makes me really happy to take care of animals as well as help out people who need care. I am a student at Rhode Island College and my job is babysitting a few days a week so I have lots of free time when I am not studying or babysitting to pet sit I thought that this would be a fun opportunity I love to walk dogs and I also enjoy just keeping an animal company. pets are amazing companions and I really enjoy taking care of them.
“Moose LOVES when we go away and its only bc he gets to go see his second family at zachs . Hes loved and spoiled the same way we would at home. Zach is definitely a great choice for pet sitting.”

“Alana was amazing with our puppy, she sent so many great pictures and treated him so well! He was in very good hands and I didn’t worry at all while he was with her family! She has a wonderful home and a big yard, along with a 4 year old who is lovely with pets. Highly recommend boarding with Alana!!”
“Love Qulynda as always! I only have her watch my dog now since she’s so accommodating and accepts my last minute requests! It’s so very appreciated to go somewhere and know I won’t be contacted unless an emergency which I prefer. We’ll be back!!! Thank you!!! 5 stars!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
Jennifer watched our dog, Riggs, over our wedding weekend in Newport, and I truly don’t know how we would have managed having him be part of our wedding without her! She was incredibly helpful and flexible throughout the entire planning process and weekend. We had friends coordinating drop-off and pick-up with her, and on our wedding day, Riggs came to our ceremony and Jennifer even picked him up from the venue afterward. She made what could have been a complicated weekend so easy and stress-free. She was so kind, patient, and sweet with Riggs, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was with her. We would absolutely reach out to Jennifer again anytime we need someone to watch Riggs in Newport. Highly recommend!
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.

There are 709 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Newport. About 92% of Newport sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
