About: Growing up with dogs, I’ve always been passionate about sharing my love for the outdoors with my fur babies. I want to bring the opportunity to explore and exercise to as many dogs as i can. I’m currently self-employed, so I have plenty of flexibility to get your pet out during the workday or in the busy mornings and evenings so you can add more time back into your day without sacrificing your dog’s well-being. I always keep the dog on leash and communicate with any other oncoming dogs before letting them meet to ensure the safety of all pets involved.
“Suzanne was extremely caring and gentle with my sensitive doodle Romeo. She brushed him as he sat next to her and he loved it. It looked like he had been to the salon when I got home! Thank you, Suzanne!”
About: I grew up with a rescued Shih Tzu terrier mix and realized how much love someone could have for a pet. I promise to care for your dog as if it were my own. I have playful personality and that flows into how I interact with animals. I’m currently working full time remote so my schedule has flexibility to meet your needs. I live a very active lifestyle so your dog will have all the walks they deserve! I adapt to the environment I’m in so your dog will feel comfortable while you’re away under my careful watch. You can trust that they will be kept leashed and safely out of harms way at all times.
“5 stars. 10/10 - 100% perfect score for Katherine. She went above and beyond in so many instances for us and our dogs during her stay. She watched our two dogs (one 10, and one 7 months) for 7 days in our home. Our older dog who is normally a vision of health caught a bacterial infection and was occasionally vomiting and had diarrhea for 3-4 days. Katherine was up multiple times a night taking her out and trying to make her comfortable. She ultimately took her to the vet for me, and got her some antibiotics. She immediately improved. Not to mention she took excellent care of our puppy who is a handful herself. Katherine is detailed oriented, knowledgeable, extremely safe and cautious, professional and hard working. Not to mention, she really just loves animals. I will 100% be hiring Katherine again.”
“Ivana did a good job taking care of my two senior great danes. I appreciate the updates and feedback. She was also nice enough to tidy up before she left. I look forward to booking with her again.”
“Michelle has been a God send. She had been consistently on time and able to watch George for us a few times this week. She takes him on nice long walks and is easy to communicate with.”
“Nicholas was great! He communicated well and asked a lot of questions to make sure he knew how to take good care of Squid. He showed up on time and sent great pictures. We would definitely hire him again.”
About: Been pet sitting off and on for 3 years now between jobs! Big dog friendly :) always grew up around animals, my own dog has passed away so this way I'm able to still surround myself with animals and give them all the love and care they deserve! I will love your animals as if they were my own. I'm currently working part time, this will be a second source of income for my days off. I love animals so it doesn't even feel like work :) I have a fully fenced yard and no current other pets in the home. I'm very patient and loving, open to working with all animals
“Damariz was absolutely amazing, I could tell from the pictures she provided my dog Kovu absolutely loved her and her sister. She left my house clean and Kovu was extremely well cared for and provided regular updates. I will surely use her again! Thanks so much!”
“Melissa is THE BEST!!!! My dog sitter flaked on me and my poor pup was left alone all day long. She responded right away, and went right away to the rescue. She is amazing with senior dogs. Sake warmed up to her right away. She has a cute pup herself and Sake loved laying in her backyard in the sun and playing. She dropped Sake off so she would be here right when I got home. Melissa is now my go to girl!!!!! She sent pictures and videos daily.”
“Thank you so very much Jen & Scott!!!! I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I was very nervous leaving my 16-month-old black lab, Roxie, with people I didn’t know, but this couple completely exceeded every expectation. They treated Roxie like she was their own—taking her everywhere with them, keeping her active, exercised, and happy the entire time we were gone. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she wasn’t just being watched, but truly cared for and included in their daily life. On top of that, they left my home absolutely spotless, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated touch. They are kind, responsible, communicative, and clearly love what they do. I would trust them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of Roxie!”
“Hannah was amazing with our two dogs. She was able to help us out for a last minute trip and made everything extremely easy for us. Both dogs loved her, even our Doberman who gets pretty anxious around new people. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone and will 100% be booking with her again. She gives great updates and can tell she genuinely loves being around animals! I don’t have a single complaint!”
About: I’m new to providing pet care through Rover, but I’m responsible, patient, and dependable. I will follow your instructions carefully, keep your dog safe, and send you updates after each walk. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in Huntington Beach. I’m available on [days] from [times]. I can discuss recurring walks and will confirm my availability before accepting each booking. For walks and drop and cats-in visits, I follow your care instructions, use the leash and equipment you provide, keep doors secured, and send updates. I’ll confirm any special safety needs before the visit.
About: Have had dogs and cats in the past. Moved to California and currently can’t have pets where I live. Would love to be able to walk a dog or check in on a pet regularly :) I treat every pet respectfully. Kindness goes a long way when caring for pets. Encouraging good behavior by rewarding with attention or treats works best for me. Enjoyed hiking and walking. Avid runner as well if anyone wants there dogs to go for a run! Love being outside and having a dog around makes it even better. I think it’s important to set expectations upfront. I like to take care of your pets the way you prefer. I may ask for more details about your pet and the way you manage them.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and giving pets plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m active, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my schedule, and I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and spending quality time with your pets. I can adjust to their normal routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they’re used to. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and make sure they’re comfortable and safe at all times. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know how they’re doing.
“Dan helped house sit for a last minute weekend trip - he was actually my first time ever using Rover! He was very responsive and good with all our pets (2 dogs and a cat). He sent pictures and updates and even helped water some of our plants while we were gone. Would definitely recommend Dan and would use him again in the future.”
About: In addition to raising my own pets, I have experience looking after multiple pets of friends and family members. Hoping to happily provide the same service to your fur babies! If the pet(s) will be staying with me, I can easily watch over them at all hours from Thursday-Sunday. If I will be visiting your residence, I will be available during the evening on weekdays and all day on weekends There is a park near my residence that is great for walking dogs. Having a hybrid job also allows me to monitor them at all hours from Thursday-Sunday and can take them out as needed.
“Kristina is such a beautiful person. She was so sweet to my dogs and very kind and respectful in my home. She even straightened up my pantry and washed the sheets! We would highly recommend her and absolutely will be using her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newport Beach
Paloma was in excellent loving care in our home when we were away! Candace provided regular updates & Paloma stayed on her schedule well. Candace took care of our home like her own & communicated very well. Paloma loved her time with Candace! Would definitely recommend Candace!
Braelynn was amazing! This was our first time using a Rover so we were a little nervous to have someone new watch our dog. He can be anxious, but Braelynn was so confident and sweet with him. She made him feel comfortable very quickly which helped us feel good! You can tell she has experience caring for animals and it was clear she had taken great care of our dog and our home when we returned from our trip. Would highly recommend her!
Amerys was AMAZING! I left Scout with her while I was in Newport for a wedding, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and went above and beyond by helping coordinate Scout’s pickup and drop-off since I wasn’t able to drive after the wedding. This was the first time I had left Scout since her cancer diagnosis 19 months ago, so I was very nervous. Amerys’s communication was honestly 20/10 and gave me so much peace of mind. She kept me updated, was so attentive to Scout, and made the entire experience feel easy and stress-free. I’m so grateful I found her and would absolutely book with her again. If I’m ever back in Newport, she will 100% be the first person I reach out to! Highly recommend Amerys! ❤️
Eva R. is the gold standard of house and pet sitters! I just returned from a 9-day vacation and couldn't be happier with the exceptional care Eva provided for both my home and my Boston Bulldog, Falcon. From our very first interaction, Eva was incredibly professional, highly communicative, and deeply attentive to Falcon’s and my specific routines and quirks. Throughout the 9 days, I received regular updates and beautiful photos that immediately put my mind at ease and allowed me to truly relax on my trip. It was completely obvious that Eva wasn't just doing a job, but truly bonding with Falcon as a genuine companion. When I got home, Falcon was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. To top it off, the house was absolutely immaculate. Finding someone you can trust implicitly with your pet and your home is rare. Eva is reliable, trustworthy, and an absolute joy to work with. I give her my highest possible recommendation and will absolutely be booking her again for future trips! Choose Eva for her kind spirit and genuine reliability.
Dan took great care of our two dogs in our home while we were on vacation during the Fourth of July. He provided daily updates of photos and videos of our two dogs. One of our dogs is more timid/defensive but Dan took the time with him to make him feel comfortable. By the end of the vacation both our dogs were best friends with Dan!
Garrett took great care of my dogs while I was on a day trip with my family. He was available at short notice and communicated during the day and sent lots of pics of the dogs out in walks and relaxing. My elderly dog wally is on heart medication and he ensured he received the meds with dinner along with feeding my other dogs.
Roxanne and Eduardo take such good care of our older golden! We have used them several times and highly recommend them. We were particularly thankful for the good care this weekend as we were away at our son‘s wedding. It was so nice to have a reliable pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Newport Beach is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $139 per night. 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 6,110 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newport Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Newport Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Newport Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Newport Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
