“Emily was easily the BEST rover sitter I’ve ever used. She was booked to do 30 min drop ins for my cat while I was gone for nearly 3 weeks, and she was so sweet and communicative! I will definitely be using her services again the next time I’m out of town!!”
“Autumn is the best! She's taken great care of my cats multiple times now and im so happy to have found a reliable sitter. She's great with communication and sends plenty of pictures!”
“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!”
“Entrusting someone to care for our pets takes a lot of courage and trust, especially if your pet has a particular set of needs and structure. After reading through A LOT of sitter profiles, Marcea stood out the most to us as someone we felt could be a good fit. Our 9yrs old bloodhound had a rough start in life, and came to me at 2yrs old as an anxious, leash-aggressive, separation anxiety, osteo-arthritic, quirky dog. Through behavioral training and medication management, his life is more calm and stable, but he requires structure, routine, and calm patient love and understanding. After a combining households move that put our dog hanging at home alone 3 days a week, I knew we needed to hire someone for drop-in visits. Enter Marcea. Our slow-to-trust anxious boy took to Marcea instantly! She is so kind and calm and loving with him, he looks so much happier after work on scheduled drop-ins. And when the trash can got left in the kitchen and our dog, true to his bloodhound nature, needed to investigate and eat the fine trash can delicacies, Marcea instantly sprung into action. She contacted us immediately out of concern for our pup and his safety, and luckily there wasn’t anything in the garbage that was life threatening, but what a relief she was there (and she cleaned up the mess without any complaint or chastising). If you, like me, have a pup with quirks and anxiety and leaving them alone or with a new person makes you nervous and alters your lifestyle, do yourself a favor and hire Marcea. She is a calming balm for both pets and pet parents.”
“Alison was wonderful with our pups. She closely followed our care instructions and asked great questions to ensure everything was just right for our dogs. Her passion and love for dogs is so evident! We will definitely hire again.”
“Valerie was awesome and kept me updated with cute pictures and thorough updates on how my cat was doing. Very trustworthy and diligent, I’ll book again when I need cat care!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Emma! From the very beginning, she was communicative, flexible, and enthusiastic—offering to do a meet-and-greet or FaceTime to make sure everything was set up just right. Throughout our trip, she provided consistent and detailed updates that gave us total peace of mind. She was attentive to both cats’ personalities—showering Greffin with affection (which he clearly adored!) and respecting Maple’s more reserved nature while still gently engaging with her. Her thoughtful observation about Maple’s tendency to eat too quickly and her proactive solution to portion the wet food showed real care and experience. She never missed a beat: food and water were always refreshed, litter boxes scooped, and even the hallway vacuumed before our return. Her notes were not only informative but full of warmth and genuine affection for our pets. Greffin clearly formed a little bond with her, and it was heartwarming to hear how excited he was to see her each visit. We’re so grateful for her kindness, reliability, and the love she showed our cats. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pets like her own!”
“Bibiana took good care of our pets while we were away. she is very responsive and reliable. We will definitely book her again in the future. thank you.”
“Junbo took great care of my cat. I really appreciated her detailed updates. She accurately managed the food and litter. She prioritized playing and bonding with my cat and the value was clear as my cat became very comfortable with her. Thank you so much Junbo!”
“Michelle was great! It's clear she knows what she's doing and really cares for the animal she's watching. She didn’t just stop by to feed them, she interacted with them, and kept them entertained. Our kittens were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. We would definitely use her again!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Newport stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
