“Phenomenal sitter for our 2 dogs! The joy in their faces from the daily picture updates did our hearts well. To know that, while we were away, they were taking such great care of, provides us confidence in knowing Tanya is the go to for drop ins!!! Her flexibility gave us ease in knowing she is willing to go the extra mile for the pets she is entrusted with!”
“Erika was so helpful when we were in a pinch with our dog, Billie. She came to the apartment to meet her beforehand and was so loving to our very nervous dog. I would absolutely recommend Erika and will definitely be booking her again!!”
“Cheyauna exceeded expectations! She was so communicative, she handled my 5 yr old and my puppy with extreme care and specific to their needs, and she even went above and beyond to come before the trip to meet and play with them for comfort. Anything that we asked she did that and more. Now that we have used Cheyauna we honestly couldn’t imagine going with anyone else in the future. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!”

“Margaret was wonderful to work with. Our cat has become quite shy in his old age, but Margaret took the time to find his hiding places and give him pets each day. She also kept us updated with photos and fun stories which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We are so appreciative and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Rosie was SO wonderful with my dog Cleo on our week long visit to Middletown/Newport. I feel so lucky we found her. Her communication was amazing and my dog absolutely loved her. She sent videos and pictures and I saw how much she connected with my dog in such a short time. I can’t recommend her more highly! Thank you Rosie!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
Iris was FANTASTIC!!! She was easy to communicate with and loves your animals like her own. She is attentive to little things like an open window in the rain so your place is equally taken care. Could not be happier with our experience - we got so many great photos of our kitty enjoying playtime and treats while we were gone!
Stevie-Rae did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. I felt 100% confident that they were well taken care of. She sent pictures each day to show that they warmed up to her even though they are very, very shy around people they don’t know. I highly recommend her to you.
Mackenzie was absolutely amazing! Took such great care of our 2 kitties plus my son’s cat who was staying with us! She was punctual, responsive and sent us updates and pictures! We will absolutely use her again and highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs! Thank you so much Mackenzie 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Newport on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,002 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newport. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
