I had a wonderful experience with Marne as my pet sitter. She was communicative and reliable. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cats were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when I returned. I would love to book her again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.

Jay took good care of my cats while I was away. He asked good questions during the meet and greet and followed all my care instructions. He even found a creative way to get my shy kitty to eat her Petromalt gel! Jay responded quickly to my questions before and after the booking, and provided cute photos and videos of my cats during each visit. All was well upon my return home! Thanks Jay!!!

About: Hello! My name is Thomas and I'm a long time dog owner. Having grown up with dogs, I'm happy to take care of yours as needed. Having graduated from USC two years ago, I am fortunate enough to be in a position where I can work remotely. Throughout the day I often take walks around the peninsula/seashore to get a break from work. I work remotely so I often find myself walking outside to get fresh air as needed. Let me know how I can fit into your schedule! My family has owned a couple different dogs in my lifetime! Happy to help out as needed / provide specific care. I am no stranger to working with dogs who require a certain routine / diet.

About: Animals have been part of my life since childhood — dogs, bunnies, horses, and even llamas. I’ve had everything from boxers to Frenchies and chihuahuas, so I’m great with all personalities, from shy pups to big goofy puppies. I genuinely treat every pet like family and focus on creating a loving, safe space while you’re away. I work remotely on an East Coast schedule, so I’m typically finished by early afternoon. This gives me availability for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. Evenings and weekends are flexible, and I’m able to spend quality time with your dog. I care for pets in your home by following your routine — feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I keep your pet comfortable, happy, and cared for while also keeping your home clean and safe. I send regular photos and updates so you feel confident they’re doing great.

Krystal took AMAZING care of our kitties. We appreciated the detailed updates and how she never gave up on getting one of our more shy cats to cozy up to her while we were away. When we came home we could tell they were just as happy and cared for as when we left them.

Roxanne was able to help with my pup on super short notice while we were away, which we really appreciated. She was very responsive and replied right away to messages. We loved getting updates and photos during her visits—it gave us great peace of mind. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again next time we’re in town!

About: I have taken care of small to medium size dogs for friends and family. Very patient with dogs and give them lots of love and attention! My husband and I are currently working from home and have couple of hours open everyday to walk the dog and take them to the park. I’ll make sure the dog is safe from cars, people and other dogs on walks and give them the exercise they need for the day.

About: I’m the kind of person who greets the dog before the human. Hi! My name is Amerys, but you can just call me Am and your furry family can call me “woof”. ☺️ I have my own wonderful pups and kitties, have worked in a veterinary hospital, dog boarding facility and have been walking and caring for dogs for over a decade. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly love. Whether your pup loves long walks, slow sniff-filled adventures, energetic games of fetch, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m happy to match their pace and personality. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of positive attention. No breed is too big or too small, I enjoy getting to know every dog’s unique personality and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a neighborhood walk, or keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they get the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and earning the approval of your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I’m currently in online graduate school for pharmacy, so I complete my coursework from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day and night and provide attentive, around-the-clock care for your pet. Your pet will not be left alone for long periods, and I can easily accommodate regular walks, frequent potty breaks, feeding schedules, medication times, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of individual attention. Because I am home most of the time, I can closely monitor your pet’s behavior, appetite, energy level, bathroom habits, and overall comfort. I understand that being away from their family can sometimes make pets anxious, so I do everything possible to keep their routine familiar, calm, and comforting. Whether your pet enjoys staying active, relaxing beside me while I study, sleeping in my bed, or simply having someone nearby, I will adjust my day around their individual personality and needs. When your pet stays with me, they are treated like a member of my family—not simply another booking. Their safety, comfort, health, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, allergies, walking routines, sleeping arrangements, behavioral needs, and any household rules you would like maintained. I am also happy to continue any training commands or routines you use at home so your pet has as much consistency as possible. I am home most of the day because I attend graduate school online, which means I can provide frequent supervision and around-the-clock care. Your pet will receive regular potty breaks, walks based on their age and energy level, fresh water, meals served on schedule, playtime, affection, and plenty of opportunities to rest. I never force interaction and allow each pet time to settle in and become comfortable at their own pace. I have my own friendly dog and cat, so I always introduce animals carefully and supervise their interactions. I can provide separate areas when pets need personal space, quiet time, separate feeding, or a slower introduction. If your pet is not comfortable around other animals, I can also care for them in your home through walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. I have a good-sized patio with grass for convenient potty breaks and fresh air, while still providing regular walks and exercise. Pets are welcome on my furniture and in my bed, but I also have a crate available when requested by the owner or when it is already part of the pet’s normal routine. I have experience working in a veterinary hospital and have cared for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and medical needs. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, eating, drinking, bathroom habits, mobility, or energy. In the event of an emergency, I will contact you immediately and follow your preferred veterinary instructions. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so communication is very important to me. I will provide regular photo and video updates, along with honest information about how your pet is eating, sleeping, playing, and adjusting. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing that your pet is safe, loved, supervised, and receiving the same thoughtful care I would want for my own animals.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine love for all furry friends. I volunteered at an animal shelter from ages 16 to 19, gaining experience with pets of all ages and needs. For the past 8 years, I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family, including puppies and senior pets. I'm comfortable with medication, special routines, and providing calm, attentive care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I enjoy building consistency and trust with every pet I care for. Their well-being is always a top priority in my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize comfort, safety, and routine. For overnight and daytime pet sitting, I make sure pets feel secure by sticking to their normal schedule—meals, walks, playtime, and downtime—just like they would with their family. I give plenty of attention, affection, and supervision, and I’m happy to accommodate any special instructions, from medication to favorite toys or routines. For dog walking, I provide safe, engaging walks tailored to each dog’s energy level and needs. I make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation, and I always keep an eye on their behavior and well-being.

About: Hello and welcome! I’m Kat, and I’d love to care for your fur baby as if they were my own! I grew up with a Maltipoo and have been pet-sitting for friends and family for the past three years. I also adopted and trained my own cat—yes, cats can be trained! She knows how to sit, give paw, high-five, and more. I have experience with dog walking, feeding, administering medication, and even basic training. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or extra care, I’m here to help! Your pet is my priority! Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, playtime, feeding, and any special care needs while ensuring pets get plenty of attention and companionship. Whether it’s a midday walk, cuddle breaks, or sticking to a pet’s routine, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special care needs. I also provide plenty of cuddles and head/belly rubs, so your fur baby can get all the attention and affection while you’re away. I will keep your home clean and provide updates with photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.

About: Going out of town? You can count on me for the safety and comfort of your 4- legged best friend! He/she will have a vacation of his/her own while you’re away. From beach adventures to trail hiking - I do it all. Your pet’s safety and well being is my top priority so rest assured your pet will always be safe under my care with tons of tail-wagging fun! I offer lots of outdoor adventures for those that enjoy the fresh air. For those that prefer to stay home and relax, I offer lots of tummy rubs and personal quality time! Thank you for your kind consideration and I’m looking forward to a pawtastic time with your 4-legged best friend of any size! I’m a semi- retired federal law enforcement which means I have plenty of time to play with your pup! I’m available for doggie day care or extended stay if you’re going out of town. I have a fenced backyard and a small mellow dog that will keep your pup company at all times. I have 2 kids under the age of 9 that will play fetch with your pup and possibly test him/her on basic commands. 😃

About: Pet sitter in Newport. Quite new to Rover with little experience here now, but I’ve also looked after my own pets always. I’m reliable and calm. I rescued my cat after she was abandoned by ex neighbor and she’s a happy indoor cat now. Flexible schedule and I can come any time of the day. Available most days. Newport Beach, working mainly locally. Send me a message, thank you. For boarding I’m often home during the day too, but sometimes out. Let me know how anything specific you’d like me to do. I will take care of your pets and make sure they’re happy, safe and healthy.

About: I've been pet sitting for over 4 years now here on Rover but also through Trusted House Sitters. I'm an absolute animal lover and will care for your house and fur babies as if they were my own! I do have my own dog, Jax, but he is staying with my parents at the moment as I've had to relocate due to a water leak in my condo. So, I would love to help a family with their pet sitting needs in the meantime! I work from home full time so your pets would get a lot of care and attention. I like to go for walks often but can tend to your dogs (or cats) needs. Since I work from home my schedule is very flexible and I can cater to your pets needs! If they like to walk and play often I am happy to do so. I genuinely love spending time with animals so they will get a lot of care, love, and attention.

About: I love dogs and usually watch my family’s dog when they go on vacation. My availability is flexible when I am not working. I have a part time job as an EMT, teach golf and I am a student! Mostly home because I’m in school now so can spend lots of time with your loved one. I would love to meet you and your best friend to see if I am the right fit for you! I am the sole provider and care for both of my dogs. I take them on daily walks, wash them, feed them and spend my time with them. It is not only about taking care of them, but also bonding and interacting with them. This varies between different clients. I am open to learning whatever preference you have and will adjust to whatever makes you more comfortable. I deeply believe you know your pet best and what is best, so I am open minded to that.

Krista and Kelsey looked after our 16 yr old cat (Gizmo) whilst we were away for 5 days - making home visits twice a day.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Newport Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Newport Beach on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,974 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Newport Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newport Beach. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
