“She was the absolute BEST! She sent me pictures to update me the whole time and she loved my dog like her own. Definitely would use her again! She went on walks , car rides, dog park etc with my boy. Made me the happiest momma🥰”
“Laura took such good care of our golden doodle - we could tell he had a good time and that he played hard! When travel logistics threw us a curveball, Laura graciously accommodated. We are so appreciative - THANK You!”
“This was the first time our 2 labs stayed with Elaine. They appeared to have had a good stay and adjusted to the freedom of a dog door and a large fenced back yard to play in. She sent pictures and occasional updates.”
“Victoria was amazing!! This is the first time we have booked through Rover and we needed someone to watch our cat Macaroon last minute so that my family could go on vacation. Macaroon had an amazing time and made some friends during her stay. Victoria treated Macaroon as her own and gave goodie bag while leaving, so sweet of her. We definitely use her next time.”
“Brent was amazing with our dog Barry!! Our little guy is super anxious and it takes someone with a lot of patience and experience to handle him and Brent definitely was that person! Would recommend him over and over again! Best dog sitter we have come across and so glad we found him 🙏🏻🙌🏻”

“Rachel and her family were amazing! My husband and I booked with them while we were away celebrating our anniversary, and we couldn’t have been happier! They took such good care of our Gumbo and sent us so many pictures and videos throughout his stay, which we absolutely loved! It was so nice being able to enjoy our trip and know that our boy was in good hands. We really appreciate Rachel and her family for welcoming Gumbo into their home and treating him so well. We would definitely book with them again! ❤️”
“The best second family a dog could ask for. Ashley and Robert care for Adger like their own. They always send daily reports and great pics. Adger is never more excited than when we tell him that he is going to see Kodi and Kali. He loves this family soooo much!”
“We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of both of our dogs and treated them like they were her own. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well loved. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”

“Nathalie was the best! We often worry about our pup while he is staying with a Rover when we travel but we knew through meeting her and the updates during a trip that he was having a great time. She took great care of our pup and was very responsive if we had questions. We would definitely recommend her for a safe and loving place to board your pup and hope to book with her again the next time we travel. Thanks Nathalie! 💜🐾”
“Kaylee watched our 5 month old kitten and he loved it! She did a great job and we were incredibly comfortable with him there. She sent photos and videos which were helpful to know he was doing well. Definitely will book again :)”
“Not only was Anne able to accommodate my extremely late notice request for boarding, but she took great care of my senior dogs! Her home and fenced yard is also set up very thoughtfully for pet care with lots of space to roam outside or inside. Very quick & efficient communication, picture of my dog while I was away, I couldn’t have asked for a better first time experience!”
“Heaven sent!! Christal (and her sweet kiddos) were a true blessing. My dog landed in the perfect home while we were vacationing. The communication was prompt, from the moment I requested her services (at 4AM), Christal answered and took in my puppy that same afternoon. He was well cared for, seemed happy with his daily walks and play time. I appreciate the photos I would receive throughout the day. I recommend Christal and will definitely reach out to her when I need a pet sitter. Christal: Thank you SO MUCH! Max sends his love to you and your family!”
“We would definitely choose Rosemary again! She shared a lot of photos, daily updates, flexible with the drop off and pick up time. Tai seemed very happy and loved staying with her.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Anna! She took excellent care of my dog, Luna, during her boarding stay. Anna was very easy to communicate with and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me great peace of mind. Luna was clearly happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and responsible sitter!”
“Lauren is amazing and my senior dog loves her! In the past with other sitters or even family my dog has been anxious after we come home from trips but this is far from the case with Lauren. My dog acts like it’s here home away from home.”
“Evgeniia is wonderful! We had to find a sitter for our cat at the last minute, then our return flight got delayed due to the storm. Evgeniia was so accommodating and kind. She was amazing with our cat, sent photos, and paid attention to how often she was eating/drinking/using the bathroom. You can trust her to treat your fur baby as her own. :)”

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 of November 2026, there are 2,002 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Newport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Newport can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Newport home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Newport.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newport. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
You and your Newport sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
