“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.”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, including both dogs and cats, and spent much of my childhood fostering animals and volunteering at local shelters. Being around so many different animals from a young age has given me a lot of hands-on experience with pet care and a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and energy levels, and I understand the importance of making every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or providing extra care and attention, I’m happy to make sure your pet feels at home while you’re away! Weekends work best for me, and I’m also available on weekdays after 11 AM. I plan my schedule to make sure I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and exercise they need. I’m happy to be flexible and work with pet parents to find a routine that works best for everyone! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, and I follow each owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care needs. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and supervision. Having grown up with dogs and cats, fostered animals, and volunteered at local shelters, I understand how important it is to be patient, responsible, and gentle with every animal. I want every pet and owner to feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care!
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: My family has had dogs as long as I can remember. I’ve had experience with large breeds like cane corsos along with elderly dogs that need more time and assistance. I’m mostly available in the mornings or evenings for walks and weekends for boardings. I don’t mind transporting your dog to take them to a park or the beach. I’m used to watching people’s animals at their homes so I follow the directions you’ll give me exactly. I do have an elderly cat at home for your pet to make friends with but I also have enough room to comfortably separate them.
“Andrew and Olivia were amazing hosts to my Persian kitty, Buddha!! I got daily messages and adorable pictures on what Buddha was up to!!! They have a nice clean apartment and followed any instructions we gave them! Thank you for taking such good care of our baby!!!”
“Garrett was amazing. He was patient with my puppy and even was able to put her harness on, of which I couldn’t do without a fuss. Now she sits and lets me put it on no problem. I will definitely hire him again and again. Highly recommended him to anyone.”
About: Hi, my name is Candace and I have been a member of Rover.com starting March 21, 2012 from Dog Hosting to my current position as Dog Walker. As a recent college graduate with experience as a home care aide, I am eager to use my skills to provide dedicated pet care, ensuring your furry companion receives the attention and care they deserve while you maintain a balanced lifestyle, and I am available on weekends and holidays to integrate into your daily or weekly routine. My belief is dogs are family and I will treat your dog similarly to how I treat my own dog who is the apple of my eye.
About: My career started at my church when my pastor had to go out of town and needed someone trust-worthy! I love all animals and treat them as they were mine. I give a lot more time then most and charge much less. I have 12 years of experience, with excellent references. I m available for a walk while you work, 3 walks a day or overnight; at your home. My service is much better then boarding and your fur baby feels much safer! I devote about 75% of my life to pet care. The other 25% is devoted to church and volunteer activities. I love my job and am fulfilled by caring for pets. I DO NOT normally host pets in my home. I have a cat, 4 turtles and a beta fish. If the pet is small and can be crated I would consider that. I can drive small pets to vet or other activities
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet! Whether you’re away at work, out for the day, or just need an extra hand, I want you to feel confident knowing your furry family member is getting the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m a proud dog mom to Moose, my Bernese Mountain Dog, so I’m no stranger to big personalities, playful energy, and dogs who need a little extra attention! Having a large dog of my own has taught me the importance of patience, understanding different personalities, and making sure every pup feels comfortable and cared for. I also work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to offer walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. Whether your dog needs a nice long walk, a potty break, some playtime, or just a little companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and treat them like one of my own! 🐾 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to be highly available and flexible with your dog's needs. Whether it's providing multiple walks, play sessions, or simply being there to keep your dog company, I'm able to give them the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. I understand how important it is to ensure your dog feels safe and comfortable while you're away, and my home setup allows me to give them the constant companionship and supervision that provides peace of mind. With my flexible schedule, your dog will never feel alone for too long, and I can accommodate any special routines or care they might need. I take great pride in providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment for your dog, whether they are staying in my home or yours. In my townhome, I have a secure, gated park where your dog can run off-leash and enjoy some fun, exercise, and fresh air. The community is dog-friendly, with safe pathways and a peaceful environment, ensuring your dog is always in good hands. Inside my home, I make sure there’s plenty of cozy space for your dog to relax, play, or nap—whatever they prefer. I also maintain a consistent routine to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. For in-home pet sitting, I make sure to follow your dog's routine closely, keeping them in familiar surroundings while still offering playtime, walks, and lots of attention. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure that your dog gets plenty of love, exercise, and care to keep them happy and relaxed.
“Julie was a fantastic sitter! Such a relief to know Goji was safe and well cared for. Julie was extra accommodating by picking up food when I ran out of time to restock before leaving. Huge thanks!”
“Arielle is wonderful. She pays attention to the details of my fur baby’s needs and is very communicative. I have an aging senior cat and she’s a pro with his care! I highly recommend her and I’ll be booking with her again 🐈⬛🫶🏼”
About: I have always loved dogs and have been taking care of dogs for my whole adult life. I adopted my first dog when he was 10 and cared for him until he passed at 16. I decided to start dog sitting again after losing him to keep dogs in my life since I’m not yet ready for my own again. I also hope to fill a niche in the dog sitting market for dogs that need extra care. I am very comfortable administering medications and catering to seniors unique needs. While seniors are my specialty I am open to caring for pets of any age. My clients find my experience with seniors beneficial to dogs with anxiety and disabilities as well. I’m currently going to school at OCC. Please inquire about my current schedule to see if I’ll be a good fit for your requested dates. Ideally your pets are ok being left alone for a few hours at a time, I’m never on campus all day. I try to keep to your pet’s schedule as closely as possible to make sure they’re not too thrown by having the most important person in their life gone. I focus on enrichment and exercise to keep your pet busy and happy while you’re away.
About: I have experience giving medicine to both cats and dogs. As a teacher, I have my summer open to be as supportive as I can while you’re in vacation! During the school year, I have my afternoons and early mornings open to help care for your pets. In the summer my schedule is wide open to help! My two cats are super friendly and would love to meet new dogs or cats! I will care for your pet as if they are my own to provide comfort while you are away!
“Very personable and enjoyable to work with. Attentive to details of care. Handled my standoffish Spotty very well and kept my personable Rufus entertained. Plenty of feedback on how the boys were doing. Was a very good house sitter.”
“Dayna is a trustworthy person! I have no worries when she's at my house and know that I can rely on her to take excellent care of my fur babies. She has taken care of both my senior cat and my diabetic dog. Dayna is both a professional and caring person and sends sweet pictures of my pets.”

Vi does a great job looking after my two cats Zoey and Ruby. She sends thorough updates and plenty of pics which is always appreciated. She is polite, responsive and does a great job cleaning up any mess that my girls might make. I highly recommend Vi’s services!
Candice was wonderful!!! Both my kitties love her so much! The photos I got made me feel like I was there. And, she went above and beyond to repair a small hole Bunny put in a window screen. I couldn’t ask for a more responsible, sensible, and sensitive pet sitter.
Another amazing visit from Natasha! Our cats remembered and greeted her immediately, which is the best feeling ever. She’s a great communicator and leaves the best check-in notes and photos. We’re so lucky she could watch the boys again and trust her completely. Thanks Natasha! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Newport Beach is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $40 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 1,215 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 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.

- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 90% 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 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.
