“Tanya has been phenomenal with the newest member of our family. She’s still a bit too little to go to daycare, and Tanya has been Johnny-on-the-spot when it came to making sure or pooch felt successful and comfortable in her new home! She sent loads of pictures and provided us with a thorough description of their activities during the visits! We are so fortunate to have her as a resource in Sneads Ferry! Can’t say enough good things!”
“Victoria is an incredible pet sitter!! She watched my cat Glinda while I was away and immediately put me at ease with how thoughtful and communicative she was. I can tell she really cares about the pet she is sitting for and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy. I would highly recommend and will certainly be hiring Victoria again.”
“Jenilie did an incredible job with Mark! Her and her husband went above and beyond to take care of Mark especially when Mark was experiencing an upset stomach! They cleaned him up along with his kennel to ensure Mark had a clean space to rest in until we returned!”
“Thank you Stevie Rae! She was super nice and when we returned home the house looked great. Sent nice photos and spent a little extra time with them when she could.”
About: I have two crazy dogs at home that I miss dearly. No dog is too much to handle. I am used to anxiety prone dogs and high energy. I am a student athlete at Salve Regina University so my schedule can be somewhat inconsistent but I have long breaks during my day and most nights free. I will make sure your pets are well loved and taken care of while their owners are away. No boundaries will be pushed or broken
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 have cared for friend's dogs, big and small, and my grand dogs for a day or even 1 month. I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. 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. Afternoon neighborhood walks or romps in the big backyard are often on the agenda. I have a single family, single story home with a fenced yard in a great neighborhood. 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.
About: I am an animal lover who volunteers at Best Friends Animal Society. I’m responsible, caring, and love giving pets the attention and care they deserve! 🩷🐾 As a student at Salve Regina, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week, with plenty of availability in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, overnight care, or extra playtime, I can accommodate a variety of schedules. Ensuring pets feel safe and loved is my top priority. In my home, I create a pet-friendly environment by removing hazards and providing cozy spaces. In clients' homes, I respect their space and follow their routines to keep pets comfortable. Regular updates and open communication help build trust with pet owners. By focusing on these practices, I ensure a secure and nurturing environment for every pet in my care.
About: I’ve pet sat with my moms business since I was about 10, and over 18 years have taken care of many animals. I love to play with the animals, my goal is that when I’m rehired the come to the door to greet me to play with them. I work part time and can do mornings and overnights before and after work. I also get breaks on shifts that I can stop in and visit. I cannot do my own home, but can take care of the animals at their home where they’re more comfortable. Besides just feeding them, walking them or taking them out, it’s important to play with them and keep them entertained. Which always entertains me.
“Paige was awesome with Maggie. I wanted to know that my puppy was gonna be with someone who had a real connection with her, and this was definitely Paige! And yes I will be reserving her services again. Thanks!”
“Maddy was wonderful! She came for a meet and greet with our dogs before we left for the week and was very sweet and patient with Lana and Baxter. She gave us updates throughout the week and even painted an adorable picture of the dogs! This was our first time using Rover.com and we were very pleased. We had never left the dogs for this long and Maddy did a great job of putting our minds at ease. We would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be sure to request her again if we need a sitter in the future.”
About: I have always lived with dogs my whole life. I have my own dog and I have helped friends and family by looking after their furry friends. I work full time but I am home in Newport everyday by 4:00pm so I would be able by 4:30 to care for your dog! I am also available most weekends at any time. I have a friendly dog and a fenced in yard where they could play! My home is also very spacious and always been dog friendly.
“Grace was wonderful! She was able to take care of my cat on fairly short notice over Christmas. She was even gracious in working with me when I missed our first meet & greet appointment. My cat was well taken care of and Grace shared pictures for the visit. Looking forward to booking with her again.”
“Wonderful pet-sitting experience! Our dog was well cared for, and the sitter was prompt, reliable, and very responsive. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
Kyoka recently did a drop in visit with my newly adopted dog. She fed him, walked him and spent some cuddle time with him. I was very happy with her services and my dog loved her! Kyoka was excellent at communicating via text how the dog was doing and also left me a written note. I will definitely be using her again to help with Seamus and highly recommend her.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Newport is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,932 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
