“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.”
“Hailee did a great job, our pets were very well cared for, she has great communication skills and followed instructions really well. Our pets got alot of affection and play time, they were very happy and healthy when we came home. Thank you!!”
About: I am currently new to Rover but I am an experienced dog walker. I have taken care of 20+ dogs in King County and have received many five star reviews regarding my on-demand dog walking service. I understand the body language of dogs and know how to communicate with dogs effectively. I also know the area well and know where to go for walks to ensure a safe and fun experience. I work flexible hours and can easily move things around to do pet care. I am normally available every day except for Sundays. I have done dog walking in the morning, around noon and in the evening. I have done dozens of on-demand dog walking. Every dog is unique. But yet they all share the same need of love and care. I aspire to make the dog walks safe, fun and full of love.
“Lydia took excellent care of Apollo during our time away, ensuring he was safe, comfortable, and well-loved. Not only was she punctual and responsible, but she also showed affection toward Apollo, making sure he felt at ease and happy. We have came back from trips with Apollo doing great, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We'll definitely be calling her again!”
“We absolutely loved Mikaela, and so did Ronnie! This was our first time leaving our kitten home alone, so we were a little nervous, but having Mikaela take care of her was such a relief. She was reliable and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She also took the cutest pictures of Ronnie, which we loved getting! We would definitely trust Mikaela with Ronnie again and highly recommend her!”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was kid, from smaller to larger dogs. I’ve also been around cats all my life and know the proper care and attention all animals need. I’ve given them medicine, walks and lots of love. I also used to work at a pet store and am very knowledgeable about diet and the type of environment each animal needs. The responsibilities I can do are monitoring food and water levels, cleaning cat litter and dog potties, playtime & cuddles, and just looking after the overall health of animals. I work a full-time job and my schedule often changes, so my availability can vary from week to week. That being said, I’m happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your needs whenever possible! Feel free to reach out with the dates and times you’re looking for, and we can see if our schedules line up! I do not currently accept pets in my own home, but I’d be more than happy to go to yours and care for your pets and their needs. I care about the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I follow their routine as closely as possible including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special care instructions. I would also love to keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away so you can have peace of mind.
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of our two cats, including administering medication to one of them. Both of the kitties were calm, happy, and well-fed when we returned from our trip :) I would definitely hire her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently care for three dogs of my own, so being around dogs is second nature to me. From puppies to senior dogs, I’m comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand how important routine, patience, and positive attention are, and I always treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, with safety, love, and respect as the top priorities. I do work full time but create my own schedule, I am able to be flexible and tend to your dogs as long as things are scheduled ahead. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home with respect, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life and have always had at least two dogs in my home. I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and others on and off for the past few years, caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I currently have two senior dogs who I’ve raised since they were puppies, so I’m especially comfortable with older dogs and giving them the patience and care they need. I absolutely adore dogs and would love to make pet care a bigger part of my life. I’m currently 18 and attending Bellevue College while living at home, which gives me a stable and comfortable environment for caring for pets. I’m currently a college student with classes in the mornings Monday through Friday, so I have plenty of availability outside of class before 8:50 AM and after around 11:30 AM. My schedule is consistent, and I can plan pet care around my classes. I’m currently looking for work, but I will always make sure I can fully commit to any pet-care booking I accept. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for someone’s pets. I’m not currently able to offer boarding or pet care in my own home, but I’m happy to care for pets in their home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, make sure pets have access to anything they need, and give them plenty of attention and supervision. I’ll also be respectful of your home and keep you updated 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! 🐾
“We chose Mary-Elizabeth based on all of the other client reviews. In practice, her services did not disappoint! We got regular updates on our Maine Coin mix, Logan. She included photos, video and status notations. As we traveled, our phones had 2G capability much of the time, so access for the Rover app was so-so. When we let Mary-Elizabeth know this, she also texted us photos and links, which greatly put our minds at ease. All we can say is THANK YOU! If we need a sitter again, we will definitely look up Mary-Elizabeth first.”
About: I grew up on a farm with all sorts of animals, including dogs and cats. I’ve had pets most of my life. Most recently, I had Sparky for 10 years… he was at the center of my world until he passed away from cancer. Now I’m taking care of others’ pets before I decide to bring another doggo into my life. Prefer house sitting, drop ins, and walking, though I could bring your pet over to my place for short periods of time. I live downtown and can walk, take public transit, or drive if need be. I work at the UW and generally work from home on Fridays. With advance notice, I can make my weekdays a bit more flexible. I will make sure your pet is comfortable, giving them the regular walks and attention they need, and following any food and medication schedule you might have.
“Xueyan was an amazing pet sitter. She was very friendly, on time, and communicative. She took lots of photos and made sure I was aware of everything along the way. She took excellent care of Lizzee and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend and would definitely hire again.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've dogsat for friends, family, and neighbors for years, which taught me how to read each dog's personality, follow different routines, and make every pup feel safe and comfortable. Today I have tow dogs of my own, so caring for them is part of my everyday life. My favorite part of the day is getting outside with dogs. Whether it's a relaxed stroll, a run for high-energy pups, or playtime at the park, I love helping dogs get their exercise and have fun. I'll treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, and I'm always happy to send updates and photos so you know they're having a great time. I work part-time, so I'm available on weekdays with flexible timing. I can fit walks and drop-ins around your schedule, whether that's mornings, midday, or afternoons. I'm happy to follow your instructions for entering your home and caring for your dog, and I'm always respectful of your space. I make sure leashes are secure on walks, check that doors are locked when I leave, and make sure that your pup has fresh water before I go.
“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!”

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 .
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 , 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 .
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.

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 , 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.
