“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”
“John did an amazing job with my Basset, Reece! He was punctual every time and the system alerts me when he arrives and when he leaves but John sent me photos too! I felt so at ease that Reece was in good hands. You will be too! I highly RECOMMEND him!”
“Kate did a drop in visit for us. This was the first time we utilized her services. Kate was very thorough, provided details of her visit and cute pictures. Bandit loves Kate! We look forward to using Kate again!”
“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!”
“Katie has been wonderful with our Mastiff and our kitty! We were anxious about someone that didn't know our pup coming into her space, but Katie came over to do a meet and greet with Remmi before our trip and Remmi warmed up right away as I'm sure she could tell Katie is an animal lover. Katie does awesome with sending updates and a full progress note with each visit throughout the day and night. Would highly recommend her service! Thank you, Katie for taking such amazing care of our special loves. <3”
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have both a dog and a cat who mean the world to me. 🐶🐱 Over the years, I've cared for pets for neighbors, friends, and repeat clients through drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I'm comfortable administering oral medications when needed and always do my best to follow each pet's normal routine so they feel as happy and stress-free as possible. I currently have flexible availability for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting. Once my fall semester begins on August 25 and I start my weekday nanny position on August 31, my availability will become more limited, but I'll still be accepting bookings that fit my schedule. I do my best to respond quickly to messages and keep my calendar up to date so you'll always know when I'm available. I know it's a big deal to trust someone with both your pet and your home, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, keep their environment clean and comfortable, and provide updates and photos so you can relax while you're away. During our meet and greet, I'll ask plenty of questions to learn your pet's routines, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide the best care possible.
“Casey was awesome with our dogs! She stopped by our house while we were gone for a short trip to let out our 2 pups. Casey even got one of our dogs that is not very trusting of new people to be comfortable around her. We highly recommend Casey for your next pet sitting!”
“Kristen was great!! Demo loved having her here for the night, and getting lots of love and attention! Thanks Kristen for everything, can’t wait to use you again and for some puppy play dates!”
“Lillian was AMAZING with our dogs. Our oldest dog even loved her and that says a lot haha. She played with them, fed them and loved on them. Thank you so much, Lillian!”
“Trial run for Amanda to get comfortable with the meds routine for one our cats. She did great! Even remembered the treats he gets afterwards. Looking forward to her taking care of the fur babies during our upcoming trip.”
About: I’ve always been a huge dog lover! Growing up around dogs and having two of my own has given me plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters and the Humane Society, where I gained additional experience caring for animals and helping them feel safe and loved. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with daily routines. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing outside, or just cuddling on the couch, I’m happy to give them the attention they deserve! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own! Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine since I have pets of my own! I enjoy spending time with animals and have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they receive the care they need! I offer pet care in the comfort of your own home, where your furry friends can feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment! I understand how important it is to maintain their normal routine, so I’ll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, playtime, and other care needs. I’ll always treat your pets and home with respect and make sure your furry family members receive plenty of love and attention while you’re away!
About: I’m very responsible in taking care of dogs! I have had two of my own doggies before!I have taken care of many dogs throughout my neighborhood including a Chihuahua, labs, and a husky! I’m very active so if they need some play time I’m your girl!! I am currently a college student at Florida Atlantic University so I am home most of the time to walk them and give them cuddles! I have a neighborhood where everyone is very dog friendly and loving where I could walk him/ her around the block. I could also take them to the dog park!
About: My name is Conner and I’m a college student at Winthrop University and a lifelong animal lover! caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, whether that meant helping my mom rescue and care for stray cats or looking after family pets over the years. More recently, I’ve been helping take care of my girlfriend’s dog, who has an autoimmune disease and requires extra attention, patience, and consistency with medications and daily routines. I’m a firm believer that every pet deserves personalized care and should be treated with as much love as I would give my own. Whether your pet needs a walk to burn off some energy, a drop-in-visit while you're away, or someone dependable to keep them company in the comfort of their own home, in your guy!! I’m currently a full time college student so I’m free all summer and I would be very flexible around my school schedule in the Fall and Spring! I am very confident in my ability to make friends with every pet! I’m very active and love a nice long walk but I’m also happy to chill on the couch or floor if you have a more laid back pet!
“Macey took good care of Linxy and Lala. Our shy boy even came out of hiding a few times, which is rare with new people. Macey communicated well about any issues or changes in visit times.”

Pet 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 only words that come to mind are exceptional, professional, reliable, considerate, communicative,….I do not think I can say enough great things. I have 3 very large dogs and she handled them with ease and kindness. You would have thought they were her own dogs. So grateful for her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Newport is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $24 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 4,358 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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.
