About: Hello! I’m a stay at home mom with a lively 2 year old, and two big pups of my own! We have tons of time during the day for dogs walks or drop in visits. I’m a full-time stay at home mom, so besides our routine nap time (11-1), we have tons of time during the day to spend with your pup! I have a big fenced in backyard where we do lots of running around and playing with our dogs. We’re also a very active family and go on frequent walks throughout the day.

About: Hi! I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable dog lover with over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. While living with my parents, I helped care for our three family dogs—a Golden Retriever mix, a Husky mix, and a Labrador mix. I currently have a friendly 9-month-old Goldendoodle mix who lives with me. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and relax. I only host one guest dog at a time so I can provide personalized care and attention. I treat every dog like family and provide plenty of playtime, potty breaks, exercise, love, and regular photo updates so owners always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to provide a safe, clean, loving, and stress-free environment where every dog feels comfortable, happy, and at home. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I have a flexible schedule and make time every day to provide loving and attentive care. I can provide regular potty breaks, playtime, exercise, feeding, and plenty of attention. I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they always know how their dog is doing. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and exercise. I currently have one friendly 9-month-old Goldendoodle mix and only host one guest dog at a time to provide personalized care.

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!

About: I have taken care of and grown up around dogs and cats my entire life. Patience and learning the pets personality is, in my opinion, the most important aspect of pet care. I treat every pet like they are my own, with kindness and respect! I look forward to meeting your pet! I just moved back to Newport from NYC and am looking to fill my time. I am currently between jobs, so I thought what better time than now to focus on another passion of mine, pet care! I will treat your pet with care and comfort they require. I am very communicative and ensure updates to you, as I know putting your trust in someone to care for your pet can be stressful. I want to make any visits or walks with your pet as low stress as possible, for both you and your pet! Trust is very important with a pet and getting to know them is my main goal.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Newport

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Newport on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,974 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
  • 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 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.
