I booked April at the last minute for an emergency trip and my boys took right to her! April did a consult visit the day before and her follow-up was impeccable. We will definitely be using April again. My boys were not stressed out at all when I arrived back home and that itself is worth a million words; priceless.

Amanda did a fantastic job with our 3 cats! She even took care of some plants that got delivered to us. She sent us daily pictures of the kitties and even swept up after them. We would not hesitate to ask her to care of our kitties again!

I was really worried when I had to find someone to care for my cat, Pippin, last minute but Ami was quick to respond and was an amazing help. And Pippin really seemed enjoyed the attention that she gave him.

Second time we've had Jesse come in and he's always so wonderful with our Bella. He helped us out in a pinch this last time as well as we needed to head out of time urgently for a family illness. Jesse is an absolute gem!

Kim and her daughter took excellent care of our sweet cat named Alice. They visited her daily, rain or shine. Alice is very social and loves attention. They gave her plenty of petting, freshen her bowls of water, refilled dry food, gave wet food, and treats. They also scooped her litter box daily. Alice was happy to have their attention and she was very well cared for during our 4 night absence. I highly recommend Kim as a pet sitter.

Emilee was amazing!! She took great care of our two large dogs while we visited in Cosby. She was very professional and great with communication, I appreciated the photos she shared of their walks and that she marked when the visit started/ended. Left us with such peace of mind while on vacation. Highly recommend!!

About: My husband and I have always had a soft spot for animals. Growing up around pets taught us both how to care for them with patience and love. Together, we’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch. We’re comfortable giving medications and sticking to routines. We’re calm, reliable, and always focused on making pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Caring for pets fits naturally into our routine because my husband and I genuinely love spending time with animals. We both work weekdays from 8 AM to 3:30 PM (and until 12 PM on Fridays), so we’re available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Our flexible schedule lets us give pets the attention and consistency they need—whether it’s for walks, playtime, check-ins, or overnight care. Whether in our home or yours, your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. My husband and I follow routines carefully, give lots of love, and let pets adjust at their own pace. We always respect your home and treat your pet like family.

About: I have had pets all my life. I love them all…especially the doggies! We have four rescue pups, a bunny and and a bearded dragon so we share the love with all different animals. I started a dog treat bakery business a couple of years ago that’s really starting to grow, so I’m now transitioning from the 9-5 job so I can pursue my passion for animals full time. I own my own dog bakery and work from home, so my availability is very flexible. We have an 11 acre farm with 2 separate “dog yards”. I will take your dog(s) for long walks and of course playtime if they like, give them food water and treats as needed, and I’m happy to accommodate with any special requests if your fur baby has a favorite activity, treat, or any special needs.

I have a very small apartment also.

About: My day is a whirlwind of specialized diets, subcu fluids, and hiding pills in every substance known to man. I've helped countless animals through end-of-life care, giving them a dignified, warm exit. But when my medical shift ends, my haunted house shift begins... At 3:00 AM, while my 14 year old pitty in kidney failure snores like a broken chainsaw and my asthmatic cat in cardiac failure dreams of breakfast, I wake up to a chill in the room. There balancing on top of the 2 inch, open bedroom door, is my 2 year old calico girl. She hovers like a colorful sleep paralysis demon. She isn't sleeping. She is just staring. This is a nightly performance review of my hospice management skills. From sugar gliders and snakes to senior dogs and gravity-defying gargoyle cats, my home is a beautiful, exhausting testament to unconditional love. I try to provide the ultimate soft landing for animals who need it most—even the ones who choose to haunt me from my own doorframe. My schedule is a choose your own adventure book. I mostly work weekends, leaving my weekdays and nights wide open. I am also an online student, which is the ultimate pet sitting cheat code: it just means I can study from your couch while keeping your pets company. Day, night, or highly specific medication timings, I can easily adapt to whatever routine your pet demands. I’m currently running a max security animal hospice and prison ward out of my home. My clients are the following; The Wheezer: A 3 year old orange cat with asthma, a terminal heart murmur, and zero thoughts besides breakfast behind those eyes; The Princess: A 14 year old pit bull in Stage 4 kidney failure who still insists she is a 70 pound lap puppy; and The Cartel Leader: A 2 year old calico in peak physical condition, completely psychotic, and actively plotting my demise 24/7. I live in absolute terror. I am a combat medic and hostage negotiator. I’ve seen it all. I am fully prepared to administer any specialized food, sketchy medicine, or spiritual exorcism required. What can I do for you?

About: I've had dogs my whole life. I can't imagine living without dogs. I often rescue lost dogs and bring them back to their owners. I love every dog I meet. I've watched friends pets and take great care of them because I enjoy it so much. I'm newly retired and have plenty of time to take care of my own dogs and also love on yours. I can't imagine a better way to make some extra money because I love it so much. I just bought a pet friendly home for me and my own two little dogs. I have a fenced in front and also back yard so they will be safe and happy.

Sydney is amazing!! She helped me out with my puppy very last minute. She always came on time and followed instructions perfectly! Even though my dog gave her some difficulty in the beginning she was patient and quickly made him feel very comfortable with her. She always sent photos and updates with each visit. I highly recommend her! We cannot thank you enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Newport on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 174 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Newport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newport. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
