“Martina went above and beyond to take care of my dog while I was out of town for work. This included belly rubs, snuggles, play time, and walks. It really felt that Martina treated him as if he was her own. She stuck to the agreed schedule and made sure he was happy. If another opportunity presents itself, I will be reaching back out.”

“Alison did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was traveling! I had some problems with the spare key and she promptly agreed on moving on with an arragement I made. She cared about the high temperatures and made sure the AC was turned on when necessary. My cat loved her on the first sight! Also, she takes amazing pictures 😁 Thank you so much, Alison!”
“Kevin was amazing! He quickly became friends with Muffin - played with him a lot, pet him and even let him sleep on him. Kevin is super friendly and caring. I felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was in good hands. Thanks, Kevin!”
About: With my nursing background and having my own animals, I am knowledgeable and competent in handling/administering medications and mostly anything medical related with your pets. I have two animals of my own and have owned various pets throughout my life (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, etc). I am experienced in sitting various animals of all ages and would truly be honored to meet and love on your kiddos. I am available most days of the week since I am currently only working as a nurse part time. Other than my own two pets, I do not have any other commitments. I would prefer to take care of your pets in their own environment so that they are comfortable. However, I am willing to house sit at my home if necessary.
“Nicole was wonderful! She checked on our cat every other day while we were out of town. We met in advance and she asked all the right questions. During the visits, she gave detailed updates and photos. Will absolutely request her services again!”
About: Hi pet parents! I’m Sophie, and I’d love to care for your furry family members in and around the Seattle/Renton area. I have over six years of experience loving and looking after both dogs and cats, and I share my home with Zed, my 6 year old Shiba Inu. I’ve cared for pups of all temperaments — Shiba Inu (not just mine!), golden retrievers, huskies, malamutes, terrier mixes, doodle mixes, and plenty of adorable “everything” mixes. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and needs, and I’m happy to follow your preferred pace and routine so your dog gets the walk they enjoy most, whether that’s slow and calm or faster and more adventurous. For drop ins, I’m more than happy to stay for cuddles, playtime, or just some company if your pet prefers a buddy around for a little bit. You’ll always get photo updates from me, so you know your fur babies are being loved on and cared for. I can’t wait to meet your pups and kitties! I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible so I will always do my best to fit around your schedule and adapt to your pets routine, feed times, exercise needs etc. During walks, my attention is fully on your dog's safety (other dogs around, traffic, our environment), pace and generally ensuring they are enjoying their walk. For drop ins, I will follow your house keeping instructions exactly and keep your pets secure, making sure they are fed or given any medication on time, and ensure your house is locked up when I leave. For both services, always send you photos and let you know when I arrive and leave to give you peace of mind :)
About: Experienced Animal Caregiver | Dogs, Cats & Beyond Animals have been a major part of my life both personally and professionally. My experience includes pet sitting as well as professional animal care, including working as a zookeeper and later Head Zookeeper. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, exotic animals, and hoof stock, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, behaviors, routines, and care needs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you're away. I take the time to learn each animal's individual routine and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar, comfortable, and consistent. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, check-ins, and other individual care needs. I’m accustomed to caring for animals every day and understand how important consistency and routine are. I can also accommodate different schedules and spend quality time with pets rather than rushing through visits. I care for each pet according to their normal routine and their owner’s instructions, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or potty care, playtime, enrichment, medications when needed, and plenty of individual attention. I take time to learn each animal’s personality and comfort level and never force interaction. My professional animal-care background has taught me to closely observe behavior, body language, appetite, and other changes that could indicate stress or a health concern. I prioritize safety, keep the pet’s environment clean and secure, and treat every client’s home with care and respect. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom currently taking a break from my career in scientific research to spend more time with my family. I love traveling, exploring the outdoors, cooking, and doing sports. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and would love to give your furry family members the same care, love, and attention I would want for my own. I’m happy to spend time playing, going on walks, or simply keeping your pets company and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾
“Keith just helped us with our cats for the first time over the holidays. He was very communicative and did an extra thorough search to put eyes on our most elusive hider so I wouldn’t be worried while we were out. It was very much appreciated!”
“Tiffany was great! My elderly cat isn't always friendly and Tiffany was super patient and kind with my girl. She took her time with Nala and sent me pictures and updates on her visit.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind. I have dog sat for friends and neighbors. They entrust me to do what is needed! I start a new job in a month so I have a lot of free time to dog-sit. When I start my new job I can do weekends only. I am so excited! I love dogs and I can’t wait to meet yours. Thank you! I worked at a doggie daycare as a seasonal job while at college and loved it!! I know how to work with many different breeds and make sure to carry that to my clients and my own at home. I am careful about heat stroke, bloat, and other complications that can happen fast with little notice. Safety is my priority!

Whether it’s a playful puppy, a cautious kitty, or a senior pet with specific needs, I approach each animal with patience, understanding, and a whole lot of love! I know that each pet has its own personality, so I take the time to get to know your furry friend’s quirks and preferences. From long walks, energetic playtime, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m also trained in basic pet first aid and am attentive to any signs that may need a vet's attention, providing you with peace of mind while you're away. Beyond my experience, I prioritize clear communication with pet owners. I’ll send regular updates, photos, and videos, so you can see that your pet is in great hands. Whether you're looking for a reliable pet sitter, a walker to burn off some energy, or someone to provide enriching play, I’m here to offer compassionate and dependable care. Let’s connect—I’d love to learn more about how I can best support you and your furry family! I work from home most of the time and will be available at day time during weekdays to take dogs for a walk to the nearby park. I'm living in condo unit which has two floors, dogs can play and sleep on the first floor and my office is on the second floor. There is a big community park across the road which makes it really convenient for a walk.

“Chaunecey was absolutely wonderful. Followed directions, communicated well, and always made sure my babies were well taken care of! I loved the little commentaries she’d have with each visit! Would absolutely recommend to anyone! (:”
About: I am a dog lover & my 1st dog was a Yorke. His name was Roxy & for 19yrs he was the king of our house. He was the priority in our home & pampered one always. We were always available to his needs. He was the happy & healthy one and unfortunately passed away because of age. After we adopted 2nd dog who got abused when he was a puppy. His name is Kopuk & he is a Maltese age 4. We got him when he was close to 6 months. Unconditional love & care cured him to trust us. Now i am in US, & i don't have a dog at home, so will look after your dog like mine, thank you ! I m full time at home and from morning to sleep I m very active in and out any activities. Like to enjoy outside and like to socialize. I will take them fenced park next to my house. Keep on eye on them and never leave them alone. I will make use whatever they need I will provide.
“Skylar checked in on our pup while we were out of town. She was very candid about asking questions (i.e: it’s going to be snowing, should I close the doggy door? Etc...) which I really appreciated. We could tell our little girl was being well taken care of in our absence. We’d recommend her for sure!”
About: I have had four dogs ranging from a small puppy 3 pounds up to a Wheaton terrier 40 pounds which we got as a puppy and lived till 12–13, so I have experience through the entire life cycle of a dog. I love dogs but also traveling so I’m not sure I could have one of my own right now I am totally flexible. I don’t work too much and when I do, I work from home on the computer. I am available for regular walks and potty breaks for your pet. I do have balance and mobility issues so that is why I am limiting weight sitting to 40 pounds or less to make sure every one stays safe. I’m happy to take your dog for walks or to the park. There’s a great ball chasing park nearby. alternatively we can hop in the car and go to a dog park.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
Yini was great with Rory! They went on some nice walks where she let Rory sniff around and then played together in the apartment! Yini was always very on time and sent great photos and updates from her visit with Rory! I will definitely be booking Yini to come check on Rory again!!
Chad was very easy to communicate with, easygoing, flexible when my schedule changed, happy to help, and thorough. He got along well with all three of my pets, and sent excellent pictures and end-of-visit summaries. Would love to have him come by again. Thanks Chad!
Lillian has a very chill aura about her which is SUPER helpful because my dogs are the exact opposite— high energy and high anxiety. She’s able to divide her attention between the high anxiety dog and the high energy without making either one feel left out. She’s been super patient with the high anxiety dog and has been able to gain her trust within just a couple of meetings. Will definitely use her services again in the future.
Ally is the best!! She was a life saver when my pet sitter cancelled and was able to come over and meet Gemma last minute before our trip. She sent detailed updates and always made us feel so comfortable that our girl was in the best hands. I highly recommend her!
We just had our puppy fixed and needed some help while we worked. She was so gentle and caring. She made sure that he was careful when he went out to go to the bathroom. She helped make sure he ate some food even though he wasnt feeling too much like eating. I would absolutely ask her to come back and help watch our little pup.
I booked a last minute drop in for our dog, and Jackie was wonderful! She stopped by a couple of days prior to meet our pup and go through all of her needs for the drop in. She sent photos of their play session and checked all the boxes on my checklist. Thanks, Jackie!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Newport is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $47 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 October 2026, there are 12,147 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Newport choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Newport with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
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
- 91% 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 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.
