“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!!!”
“I’d absolutely recommend James. He’s super responsive, and even though my dog can be slow to warm up to new people, James was patient and willing to keep trying. He really supported us while I was on a trip. 100% recommended.”
“Vanessa took great care of our cat for 4 days of drop in visits. She was reliable, flexible and even threw a few flakes out for our fish. The pictures she sent each day made it apparent that our cat was in good hands and behaving in her normal pattern. Vanessa also took great care in managing the security of our house. Thank you Vanessa!”
“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!!”
“Heather is absolutely the most wonderful sitter! She is incredibly kind to my sweet baby, professional, and goes above and beyond at every visit. She takes lots of lovely pictures that give me piece of mind and that I get to enjoy forever! She cleans the litter, water, keeps the food full, goes out of her way to make sure the eating space is tidy, and gives my baby lots of loving pets and playtime. She's friendly and warm as a person, so our communications are like from a trusted friend more than someone hired to care for my kitty. She is truly exceptional at her job and I will always request her for my sweet baby in the future!! Choose her!”
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.
“Elissa took great care of my dog while I was out of town celebrating my birthday. She was punctual, responsible, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She kept me updated during each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. I really appreciated how reliable and caring she was throughout the entire experience. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Elissa!”
About: I am a certified Seattle Humane volunteer and have a dog, of my own. I currently have a related job and my own petsitting business. I currently only work one shift on Sunday mornings, most of my time is freed up since i graduated and am doing a gap year. I come over to your house with trust and the knowledge that your pet is special to you. I give them all they need and more, providing a positive experience.
“Kayla has been amazing with my dogs Berkeley and Baxter! She’s extremely reliable and communicative. She does recurring drop-in visits for me weekly since I need to be in the office and the dogs always look like they’re having a blast hanging with her :)”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of both dogs and cats throughout my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, you name it! I can do just about anything. There might be some things that you require that I don’t have experience in, but nothing to fear pet lover is here! You give me instructions and I’ll follow! Im currently working part time as a server! On my days off I’m quite flexible, I will likely always be available on said days at any time. All pets are different, I have experience with cats and dogs. I think the best way to earn trust is to be patient and understand boundaries. Small sniff from the hand if they let you get close, let the pet come to you!
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life! I currently have four cats of my own and have also owned dogs, so I'm comfortable caring for both. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets, and I'll treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. I enjoy getting outside and going for walks, so I'm happy to help your dog get some exercise, whether they prefer a leisurely walk with lots of sniffing or something a little more energetic. I'm also very familiar with different cat personalities and understand that some want all the attention while others prefer their space. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine and make sure they're comfortable while you're away. I work full-time during the week, but I'm available for early morning and evening walks and drop-in visits, with more flexibility on weekends and holidays. I'm also happy to provide overnight house sitting on weekends and holidays when my schedule allows. I may occasionally be available for weekday visits depending on the time and location, so feel free to reach out! I'm always happy to see what I can accommodate. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I'll always follow your pet's normal routine and any specific instructions you provide, whether that's feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just making sure they get plenty of attention. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I'll take the time to make sure they're comfortable with me. I'll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for while you're away.
“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!”
“Lydia is absolutely wonderful. We have hired her multiple times to watch after our cats while we travel, and we will keep doing so. She is responsible, reliable, and kind to our cats! 11/10 recommended.”
“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!”
“Elizabeth was reliable and self-sufficient while caring for Frank during my trip. She provided ample updates and Frank was happy upon our return home. I will not hesitate to book with her again.”
About: As a life-long cat owner who travels frequently, and the go-to caretaker for my friends and neighbors since I was a kid, I deeply understand the importance of excellent care for our kitties. Cats love routines, so I take special care to follow your usual schedule to keep your cats comfortable while you're away. I'm comfortable with cats of all ages and happy to accommodate unique food and training needs. I work for an overseas-based company, so I'm available during the daytime to check in on your fur babies. I'm also available most weekends Friday - Sunday for home stays! I prefer to follow your pets' usual routine while you're away. In addition to their usual food, water, and playtime needs, I'll ask you about emergency contacts, cleaning supplies, and other just-in-case necessities.
“First time leaving my senior dog alone for a week. We decided to try a sitter on Rover, and we are happy with our dog and with the care that Jessie V. put into caring for Sammi, and for the house. At 15 years old, Sammi has messes, and I am grateful for Jessie's care in caring for Sammi, and for the condition of the carpet and floors. When we saw Sammi after being away for a week, he seemed happy, well-fed, and the room smelled clean. Thanks, Jessie!”

Chad provided great care for our elderly cat who needed a couple meds and feeding twice daily. He was completely reliable in his visits and when we returned, all was well organized as when we left and clean in our pet’s area and with his food. It was a great relief to us that we could rely on Chad while we were away and that he was quite capable of caring for our sometimes picky cat!
Yini was an amazing cat sitter! She was very attentive, caring, and punctual, and her communication was excellent throughout. She followed all of my instructions carefully and made sure my cat was happy and well cared for. I really appreciated her attention to detail and would definitely book her again in the future. Highly recommend!
We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Meng while we were out of the country. She sent amazing photo/video updates throughout the stay. they were so fun to look at and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog Milo has some anxiety, and Meng was so accommodating to his needs, making sure he felt comfortable and cared for the whole time. It was clear our pets were in wonderful hands. We'd absolutely book her again!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Newport is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 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 November 2026, there are 12,695 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 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
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.
