“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Can’t say enough wonderful things about Christopher. He truly went above and beyond to make sure our pup was happy, safe, and cared for. He was reliable, caring, and treated our dog like their own. Incredibly grateful for everything he did and would highly recommend Christopher to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dependable to care for their dog! Thank you for going the extra mile—truly the best!”
“Kristen was absolutely wonderful! We needed someone at the last minute to come take care of our two dogs while we were away for the day, and she was a lifesaver. She didn’t just stop by to let them out, she spent quality time with them, played ball, and made sure they got some attention and love. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals, and it gave us peace of mind knowing our two girls were being well taken care of. We would absolutely recommend Kristen and will definitely use her again!”
“We absolutely adore Lily! She did such an amazing job caring for our two kittens and following the instructions we had on them and our house. She communicated very well and we loved getting picture and video updates. One of our kittens, Luna, is extremely outgoing and the other, Lily, is very shy. Human Lily did a great job giving cat Lily the space she needed but also gave her love and attention when she sought it out. Luna loved human Lily! We will definitely be booking with Lily again. She checked all our boxes on what we were looking for. So much so that I wish we could keep her all to ourselves! :)”
About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a freshmen in high school. I love it so much and have made many genuine connections with the families and the animals. I’m currently enrolled at Winthrop University and have plenty of free time to come spend time with the cat or dog and can stay with them for multiple hours a day I feel like it’s very important to make the pet feel safe and loved even when someone they don’t know is in their house. So I always try to stick to the same routine they would have if the owners were home!
“Stella was unbothered by my absence because Tony took such good care of her while I was gone. Thanks Tony! My family vacation was not a nervous one because I know my girl was in good hands.”
About: I’ve taken care of several types of dogs, all who were different sizes and ages who belonged to family & friends while feeding and walking them. I’m currently home from college looking for pet sitting jobs in the area! I’m available almost every day any time and am willing to do overnight stays if needed. In my clients home I will make sure to keep their space clean and organized while caring for their pet and follow any instructions they may give me. As well as spending time playing with and loving on their dogs.
About: I’ve had the opportunity to take care of dogs that have hearing, vision, and temperament problems. I’ve never had an issue not being able to walk a dog. And if you haven’t ordered dog, I will have no issue helping the dog get stepped or into a car if needed. I love all dogs and I personally own a large dog and a medium sized dog. I’m currently work full-time so I won’t be completely available all the time, but I’ll make time for your pups. But I’m a pretty flexible person. I don’t offer for the animals to be kept at my house. If I were to have a dog stay at my home or if I had to go to a clients home, I would just make sure to have all of my things together as well as ground rules with the owner.
“Melissa has been wonderful with our puppy! We’ve booked her twice now for midday drop ins, and she’s been so great about giving him a much needed potty break and some playtime while we’re working. She’s super communicative, sends the cutest photos, and we feel like Scout is in great hands with her. We’ll definitely be using Melissa again!”
“Shania does such a great job with my sweet boy! She takes great care, very communicative, and Mufasa looks so happy in the photos. I will gladly continue to trust her with Mufasa!”
About: (I can do anything after 6 Monday-Friday!!)As a lifelong animal lover, I have extensive experience caring for dogs, starting from childhood. My responsibilities have included dog-sitting, walking, and bathing, as well as scheduling veterinary and grooming appointments for multiple dogs. I am also comfortable caring for cats and dogs of all sizes. As my mom provides weekly housekeeping services, I often assist with pet care when animals are present. My responsibilities include feeding, walking, and, with the owner's consent, bathing the pets. My household includes three animals: two canine companions and one feline friend. The dogs are a Great Pyrenees and a Rottweiler. I provide them with exceptional care. Bella, my Rottweiler, and Maverick, my Great Pyrenees, are both indoor pets.
“Bristol was AMAZING!! We could tell immediately that our cat, Einstein, was in great hands. She came to the meet and great fully prepared, asked very thoughtful questions, and kept us informed the entire time we were gone. She also was very respectful of our apartment! We will absolutely be hiring her again the next time we need a cat sitter.”
“I can't say enough good things about Bree! Leaving my cat is always stressful, especially since she needs medication twice a day. But Bree was absolutely amazing. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease. While I was away, Bree sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Piper's well-being. More importantly, she administered Piper's medication perfectly, without any issues. I highly recommend bree to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced cat sitter. She went above and beyond, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
About: Just a country girl who's helped care for everything from livestock, household pets, to feathered friends! I'm looking forward to meeting your pet! I currently work full time and have one day off during the week & weekend free. I'm free in the evenings after 5:30 on the week days. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I'll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks (if needed), and a safe, clean environment. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I'm happy to follow detailed care instructions, administer basic medications if needed, and send regular photo updates so you can feel confident while you're away.
“Trinity was amazing to work with! Cannot recommend her more. We posted the need late, but we were so fortunate that Trinity accepted the task...of our 4 cats, one of which needed medication daily. She even got our little Pepper to come out from hiding. She took the time and care to be sure they were getting their needs met. Can't say enough good about Trinity.”
About: I have lived with 6 different cats and 3 different dogs in my life growing up. My mother was also a dog walker for years. I am currently a self employed writer so I am fairly felxible with hours, though I prefer mornings and evenings before 5 pm. I am also available on weekends. I am comfortable with with most pet cares in your home. Unless stated otherwise or there is specific pet care needs, I can provide the general pet care needs.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
Alyssa was great to work with. I had something last minute pop up and needed someone to drop in for my cat and she answered right away. It's always a little nerve-racking having someone watch your pet, but he couldn't have been in better hands. Very responsive throughout and was able to administer his medicine as well. I would 100% book with Alyssa again in the future!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Newport is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $22 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
