“Kiwi was absolutely wonderful! She sent detailed updates after each visit along with photos. She didn’t hesitate to ask questions when she was unsure of something or needed advice. By the end of her stay, my typically shy pup had warmed up to her and looked forward to her visits. I highly recommend Kiwi for your pet care needs!”
“So grateful for the amazing care Jackie took of our 8 month old Labrador Retriever! Our pup was happy and tired when we came home after a day trip. Thank you, Jackie!!!”
“Camille was fabulous! Stitch was well taken care of. Meeting before hand was perfect. Easy and flexible on the scheduling. I'll definitely have Camille back. :)”
“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.”
“This was my first time booking with Polina, and she did great! Our kitty was well cared for, we came home to a happy cat and a clean bathroom. Polina followed all the instructions with attention and really spent time to interact with our cat vs just cleaning and feeding. The daily reports and videos were helpful and gave us peace of mind. I do recommend Polina!”
About: I’ve always had a big heart for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them. With plenty of free time, i’d love to dedicate it to walking, playing, and caring for dogs as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for Huskies, Poodles, and German Shepherds, so I’m comfortable with both energetic breeds and gentle companions. I am currently retired and have plenty of time to play to spend with your companions. My preferred hours are between noon-8pm but can certainly be flexible. I cannot host at this time; however, I am happy to bring your pets over for a little rest bream as needed. Home has a yard and fenced property
About: I have always loved dogs and I have my own pet husky, Axel! I think enrichment is crucial for pet care and I will keep your pup entertained with lots of love, exercise, and cuddles :) I recently graduated from UW Seattle and I am looking for pet-sitting gigs in the meantime. I love going for walks in the mornings and evenings to start and end my days. I will provide gentle care and walks and runs as needed. I can also provide basic grooming services like brushing and/or teeth brushing if needed.
“Denys and Andrii did an amazing job with Meow Meow, who is a special needs cat with a complicated diet! They gave great updates everyday and attached many rover card photos. They clarified when our instructions werent clear, and they really respected our house and space. Meow Meow had many accidents outside of the box that they took care of (part of her being a special needs cat). We will definitely be repeat clients, and we really recommend them for how they go above and beyond!”
“Todd took amazing care of Finn during our drop‑ins! He was thorough, punctual, and makes dogs/pets feel instantly at ease. Finn can be shy/quirky at first with certain people, but Todd won him over immediately and kept me updated with photos and notes. It’s such a relief knowing Finn is in good hands. We’ll absolutely be using Todd again!”
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.
“April did an amazing job with our boy Jag the tripawd cat. He is leash trained and he showed her around the yard. She carefully took care of his litter box. No weird smells when we arrived home. Thank you April! We will book again.”
About: I grew up around dogs and still have 2 large dogs of my own. When I was young, i had a pet-sitting job with friend. I love walking, running and hiking but I enjoy relaxing with low key or slower dogs as well. I have some experience with dog training and volunteered for the county animal shelter. I love dogs and I am excited to be able to provide interaction for pets whose people have busy schedules. I have cared for both puppies and senior dogs and I have walked and cared for dogs over 100lbs. I have experience being around dogs with social and behavioral issues as well and received training from the county shelter on understanding animal body language and cues. I’m currently working part time and am able to give your pets exercise or interaction while you are at work or away. I can provide drop in care or walks. I have experience with shy dogs and crate training. I’m happy to meet your dog at their level and go with their flow. I have experience with all personality types.
“I had a fantastic experience with Xiaoxiao! She took wonderful care of my three cats, making sure to follow all the feeding instructions exactly as I requested. I really appreciated her attention to detail and the updates she sent. The photos she took were adorable and really put my mind at ease while I was away. I could tell my cats were comfortable and happy in her care. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

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.
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 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.
