About: I provide dependable pet care for dogs and cats of all sizes. I have 17+ years of pet sitting experience and bring a calm, confident approach that helps pets feel safe and comfortable right away. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can offer consistent attention throughout the day—especially helpful for pets who need routine or don’t like being alone for long. I offer extended care/house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, but I do not provide overnight stays. I’m very comfortable with large dogs (I have a 4-year-old 110 lb Great Pyrenees), but I genuinely enjoy caring for pets of all personalities and sizes. I adjust my care to what each pet needs—whether that’s energy, structure, or calm companionship. I also have 8 years of experience as a personal assistant, so I’m reliable, organized, and detail-oriented when it comes to following instructions and communicating clearly. What you can expect from me: 🐾 17+ years of pet sitting experience 🐾 Calm, confident care for all sizes 🐾 Work-from-home flexibility = more consistent attention 🐾 Experienced with large dogs 🐾 Reliable communication + thoughtful updates 🐾 8 years of personal assistant experience—organized, reliable, detail-oriented 🐾 Respectful care for your home and routine Because I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my day around walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting needs without rushing or squeezing pets in. I’m already used to being home and present throughout the day, so I can easily give pets consistent attention, regular breaks, and companionship. On a weekly basis, I’m able to reliably accommodate recurring care as well as one-time bookings, and I make sure each visit is fully built into my schedule so pets always get my focused time and care. In a client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and schedule ahead of time, and I make sure feedings, walks, playtime, and any medications are done exactly as instructed. I also focus on creating a calm, reassuring presence so pets feel relaxed rather than stressed by the change in routine. My visits are never rushed—I stay present, give them real attention, and make sure they’re getting both care and companionship. I also keep owners updated with clear, thoughtful messages so they always know how their pet is doing.
“Victoria took such wonderful care of my fur babies! With every visit, they got more and more excited to see her—even my rather skittish cat. She played with them, gave them their favorite treats, and gave them companionship while I was out of town and unable to be with them. I highly recommend having Victoria care for any of your animals, but especially your cats! Thank you so much, Victoria!”
About: I have extensive dog sitting experience and a genuine love for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies, laid-back seniors, anxious dogs who need extra patience, and everything in between. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I always strive to create a calm, caring environment for them. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, playtime, crate routines, administering basic medications if needed, and giving dogs the attention and affection they deserve. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs and personality, whether that means lots of exercise and play or quiet companionship and reassurance. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel completely at ease. I work full-time, but I carefully plan pet care around my schedule to ensure every pet receives attentive, dependable care and plenty of love. I’m very organized with my routine and make time for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and quality attention before and after work, as well as throughout evenings and weekends. Because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals, pet sitting is something I intentionally make space for in my life — not something rushed or treated as an afterthought. I’m committed to making pets feel comfortable, cared for, and secure while keeping owners updated and reassured along the way. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine and create a calm, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I understand that pets feel safest in familiar surroundings, so I focus on keeping their schedule consistent with feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection and attention. I’m respectful, responsible, and attentive while staying in someone’s home, and I treat both pets and the home with great care. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel reassured knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Jessica was great overall!! She communicated well before booking with her up until her last day. She’s very professional and personable. Our furbaby loved her dearly! I would definitely book with her again! Thanks Jessica!!”
“Excellent! Communication was great, and I always felt confident that my dogs were getting the attention and care they needed. He went above and beyond by even fixing my door handle while I was away. I came home to happy dogs. I highly recommend him and will definitely book with him again!”
“Heidi was very reliable and cared for my babies well. One day she recognized the cats were nervous due to storms during the day and she decided to stay a little extra to comfort them. Heidi responded to messages promptly and reported daily on the status of my babies. Would book again and would recommend.”
“Grace is wonderful! Lots a fun pictures of our boys when we're gone. Always communicates with us. We never worry when she's taking care of Admiral and Ozzy. She's such a blessing!”

If you have a busy work schedule, need to take a vacation or just need a break, I can be there for you! I have plenty of time to care for your best friends and fur babies.

“Katie was AMAZING! She helped me out super last minute and my dog loved her. She was careful and attentive and really made sure that Dempsey was comfortable with her from the start. Will definitely be using her again soon!”
“Lily was very nice to both myself and Biscy. I wanted to set up a time for Biscy to meet her so he would be comfortable with walks. She was 100% willing to meet him and played with him as well as got to know him. She also made sure to let me know about her qualifications and everything she would do for Biscy on the walk. Very friendly and all around great person!”
About: Hi, I’m Katie. I love all animals! I have years of experience when it comes to taking care of pets and giving them the love they deserve. I currently have 2 dogs and 1 parakeet. I’ve been around dogs my whole life. My Lhasa Apso, Hugo, has lived with me since 2012 so I practically grew up with him. I take care of all of my pets at home. I make sure they are properly fed and that there is always fresh water available. Medicine is given in the evening. I will make sure your pets are fed and have water available, take them outside for potty breaks (or clean the litter box), and I love to play and spend time with them. If you are looking for a dog walker, I will take them for a walk in the neighborhood.
About: Reliable, loving pet sitting and drop-in visits for animals big and small (no snakes or spiders, please!). As a lifelong animal lover, I have extensive experience caring for both small and large dogs—including owning Great Danes for many years—as well as cats and horses. I’ve also volunteered with a rescue organization, giving me a strong understanding of different temperaments and special care needs. During the summer, I offer flexible availability and can visit at almost any time, including overnight stays when needed. As a teacher, my school-year schedule allows for early morning and after-school visits. I provide dependable, attentive care and am happy to share excellent references! A typical day of pet sitting for me is centered around making your fur babies feel happy, comfortable, and loved. During the summer, with my open schedule, I’m able to spend plenty of quality time with each pet—whether that means morning walks, playtime in the yard, feeding routines, or simply sitting and giving them the attention they deserve. I make sure to follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible to keep things familiar and stress-free. Throughout the day, I include plenty of interaction—play sessions, cuddles, and check-ins—while also keeping an eye on their overall well-being. For pets who enjoy it, I love spending extra time outdoors or engaging them with toys and enrichment activities. I’m also happy to send updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in great hands. My goal each day is simple: to treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I will care for your pet in the comfort of your home by following their routine, providing love, attention, playtime, and ensuring they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.Of course, I am always eager to provide pictures and updates while you are away.
“Jenny did everything perfectly when looking after my two cats, she changed out food and water and cleaned the litter boxes just like I asked! They also weren't as needy when I got home, so I know they got the attention that they needed. I will definitely be using Jenny again as my pet sitter!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
Aspen and Nathan did such a great job taking care of my dog and cat while we were out of town! They provided great updates and lots of pictures that let me know both animals were very happy and comfortable with them and put my mind at ease. We also had to change some of our plans due to the winter storm and they were so flexible and accommodating. We would definitely book with them again!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Newport on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
