“Kiwi has provided excellent care for my cat on separate occasions of 1-2 weeks each. He is very afraid of strangers, but with gentle coaxing, Kiwi managed to whisper him out from under couches and allow petting. Remarkable! Check-ins happen at the scheduled times. Messages from me receive timely replies from Kiwi.”
“Everything went great! Alice was very attentive to details and took great care of our two cats while we were away. She also took great pictures of the cats and sent them with the Rover card every day. While we were gone, one of our kittens tried to break into the big new food bag, and she handled it to make sure the cats didn't gorge on an unintended buffet. She also brought in packages that were delivered, which was very helpful. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m experienced in spending quality time with dogs and helping them feel at ease in new environments. I take a calm, attentive approach and enjoy walks, playtime, and relaxed companionship. I’m mindful of routines, boundaries, and each dog’s individual needs, and I focus on creating a safe, positive experience. I’m home full time and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and care throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe environment. I supervise interactions, follow routines closely, and make sure pets are comfortable at all times. I’m attentive to safety, hygiene, and clear communication with owners throughout the stay.
“Jessica was awesome with our two cats while we were away for vacation. She gave regular updates and followed all our instructions. We came back to happy cats and a well taken care of space. We’d be happy to book her again!”
“Carla was able to help take care of our 11 week old pup with short notice! Our pup Peaches was well-cared for and Carla was very kind in forgiving our little landshark for all her puppy biting. Thanks Carla!”
“Kseniia was incredibly friendly, and my cats liked her right from our initial meet-and-greet! She was exceptionally detail-oriented, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away on vacation. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“Katelyn was great! She came last minute on a holiday weekend and took excellent care of my senior lady. She followed all of the care instructions to the letter and provided plenty of updates, was on time, and even managed to coax my shy kitty out for some treats and pets. Highly recommend her as a sitter!”
About: I have a 16 year old dog that lives in Colombia. I was part of his care for 9 years. I have taken care of friends doggies, I like to rub their bellies and pet them. I'm a good snuggle buddy for them and I like to play catch with them. I adopted a little baby rescued almost 2 years ago, he had some serious anxiety and lots of energy so I know how to deal with doggies with special needs. We love going to the dog park so he can interact and play with other doggies. He gets along super well with dogs and has made a few friends with the dogs I have taken care of. I currently work part time out of my home, I’m only away from 4 hours and can provide care for them. I’m usually able to accommodate drop off/pick up around 1:00-2:00pm. I live in a townhouse. There’s 4 floors and a open space kitchen. I have a set up of doggie gates to keep your pets save. They will spend their time if I happen to be away in the open space kitchen and will sleep with me in my bedroom. I also have a crate in case your pet is more comfortable sleeping there. Tons of doggie toys.
“Scarlett did an amazing job taking care of our old lady Jelly. She followed directions thoroughly, gave her medicine on time and made sure Jelly didn't get lonely while we were gone. She's super nice, communicative and pays attention to the animal's needs. I highly recommend Scarlett (Wanqing) for your pets needs when you need to be away. Will definitely use her again for any upcoming trips!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since childhood and grew up with both. I fully trained my own Australian Shepherd myself, he’s now a well behaved, house trained, friendly dog who’s great with people, other dogs, and cats. That hands on experience taught me a lot about basic obedience, high energy breeds, and consistent routines. I’ve also boarded friends’ dogs overnight, so I’m comfortable with multi dog households, different sizes and breeds, and administering medications when needed. What sets me apart is the way I treat every pet like my own and keep owners completely in the loop. You’ll get regular updates with photos, videos, and short reports so you always know how your furry baby is doing. My Aussie is high energy, so I know how to channel that energy positively. Guests enjoy a big backyard for play and potty breaks, a morning trip to the dog park (about an hour of fun), and an afternoon hike or long trail walk. I focus on exercise, structure, and plenty of one on one attention so pets feel safe, happy, and at home. Pet care is fully built into my daily routine. As soon as we wake up, everyone goes straight to the backyard for a potty break, then they get half their breakfast. After that we head to the dog park for about an hour of play, come home to finish breakfast, and spend the rest of the morning relaxing or playing in the large backyard. In the afternoon we go on a trail walk or hike, then come back for dinner. Evenings are calm time at home. I work from home, so I’m usually right there with them throughout the day. I also have cameras so I can check on them anytime. But overall the dogs are rarely left alone. Because this is already how I structure every day with my own high energy Aussie, boarding dogs fits in seamlessly, same consistent schedule, plenty of exercise, lots of attention, and reliable supervision. I also send regular photos and videos so owners always know how their pets are doing. I care for all pets in my own home, where safety and comfort come first. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can play, potty, and relax freely. My Australian Shepherd lives here and is friendly with other dogs, so guests are introduced carefully and supervised until everyone is comfortable. I work from home so I am always present. I also have cameras so I can check on the dogs at any time. Pets are rarely left alone. I treat every guest exactly like my own dog, consistent routine, plenty of exercise, medication when needed, and lots of attention. I keep the house clean and calm, and I send regular photos, videos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel completely at ease.
“Sanuthi is incredible and very reliable. We have two finicky 12 year old cats and any changes stress out Simba. She was very patient, willing to meet him within his comfort level. She kept in contact through the visits, letting me know of any issues she was seeing, willing to change the plan on the fly. Kitties were in good hands and I am so very grateful for Sanuthi!”
“Kevin has been absolutely fantastic with our dog! She's very high-energy, and Kevin always finds creative ways to keep her engaged and burn off that energy. We mentioned that she needed to work on not jumping on people and also no barking for attention, and Kevin was great about reinforcing those behaviors during their time together. We've seen real improvement! Our pup is always thrilled to see him and is totally tuckered out—and happy—after each visit. Kevin is also incredibly responsive and communicates clearly. I especially love reading the notes and seeing the pictures he shares in the Rover cards 😊”
“This was my first time using Rover for my new puppy and Elizabeth was amazing. From our meet & greet to the day of the drop-in, she was so kind, highly responsive, and followed my instructions to a T! I look forward to rebooking and highly recommend Elizabeth.”
“Brittney takes amazing care of Oliver (kitty) when I am away! She is a great communicator and has gone above and beyond to be sure that my house is taken care of when I travel for work. I feel confident knowing that Oliver has such great care when I am gone!”
“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.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Newport is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
I couldn’t be happier with the care Katya gave my cat, Leilani! Leilani struggles with separation anxiety and tends to get pretty depressed when I go on vacation, so leaving her is always a little stressful for me. Katya was wonderful about communicating throughout my trip, which I really appreciated. But what impressed me most was how well Leilani seemed to do emotionally while I was gone. Normally, when I come home from a trip, Leilani makes sure I know just how unhappy she is that I left her. I usually get the cold shoulder for hours, sometimes even days, before she decides to forgive me and return to her normal, affectionate self. This time, it took just minutes! That’s a pretty big deal. She seemed happy, relaxed, and so much better adjusted than she typically does after I’ve been away. I really believe that says a lot about the attention, patience, and care Katya gave her. What I appreciated most is that Katya clearly understands there’s more to caring for a cat than making sure they’re fed and their litter box is clean. Their emotional well-being matters, too. I’m genuinely grateful to have found Katya and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Leilani again. If you’re looking for someone who communicates well, genuinely cares, and pays attention to your cat’s individual needs, I highly recommend her!
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.
Heather did an awesome job checking in on our cats while we were gone. I accidentally had a package delivered that I wasn't expecting and she even brought it inside for us before I knew it was there! I will definitely book her again. She really took the time to help our cats feel cared for while we were away.
Ingrid is a highly professional, communicative, and responsible pet sitter. She has watched our young, spirited, rescue cat 3 times while we were out of town. Ingrid played with her, took her outside, and sent great photo updates upon request. As a first time cat family, we trust Ingrid implicitly with Morticia’s care. We will definitely hire Ingrid again! 🐈⬛ 😀
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!
Irina was wonderful! We have especially shy girls and Irina was super patient and good with them. We are very very happy with how she followed our house, feeding, litterbox, and play rules and expectations. The last time we left them with another sitter they never left their hiding places. This time with Irina even our most shy cat came out to eat and get some pets while the other cat played with her several times. This is very showing of how much they liked and felt comfortable with her. Her updates each visit were detailed and we really appreciated all the photos she sent. Irina is attentive, professional, and thorough. We will be rebooking her in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
Malia provided our two kitties with tons of love and playtime while we were on vacation, and followed all of our care instructions perfectly! It was a huge relief getting several pictures each time she visited for breakfast and dinner, seeing how well they were doing. I would happily trust her to take the best care of them in future!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Newport is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 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 12,705 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newport. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 .
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.
