“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!
“Vi is without a doubt the best pet sitter we have ever had. She provided the most detailed updates and photos daily. She took the time to take our cat to the vet at our request after he experienced some relapsing symptoms of a prior injury. Cannot recommend her more. We felt like our cat was so loved and cared for under her watch.”

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.
“Mackenzie was awesome! She was kind enough to come meet my dog in advance. She was also very easy to communicate with and provided great, detailed updates. She was very thorough and helpful. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m new to the Newport Beach area and have a PhD with a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’ve always been an animal lover and will treat your babies like they’re my own! 🐶🥰 I’m currently not working outside the home. I have a super flexible schedule to accommodate your needs for your babies! I also have a Shih Tzu of my own that loves to go for walks. I follow all instructions you set forth for your dog/cat very carefully because I know how important that is. Animals need love and attention, and I am there to provide it!
About: I grew up in Anchorage Alaska where I made money on the side by caring for and exercising my neighbors' hunting dogs. I also took care of chickens, honeybees, and at times stickleback fish (although that was in more of a lab environment). Emily grew up in South Africa in a household with two dogs, a dozen or so semi-feral cats who meander in and out, and a large number of genuinely wild monkeys who help themselves to the kitchen when nobody is looking. She also rode horses all her life. We just (July 2025) added the newest member to our little fam. Shaka! He’s a Staffordshire Bull Terrier who is the sweetest little nugget. He loves loves loves other dogs and all humans, especially the girls, who he knows go gaga over him and guarantee belly rubs. Emily is a PhD student working on her dissertation. I recently defended my PhD and now I run a small startup. We both almost always work from home. We are both also enormously active. Emily qualified for Kona in the Iron Man and she has planked for more than 10 minutes at a time (don't tell her I told you that). I am not a super-athlete, but like to get outdoors. We love exercising and will happily exercise with your pets if they are the types of pets that enjoy walks/runs/dog parks. But if not, our dog Shaka would love to have a buddy to hang out with! His favorite game is tug, so we play a lot of that in the back yard. We unfortunately are not currently living in a place that allows dogs other than Shaka. So any care we provide, other than outdoor adventures, will need to be at your home. We closely follow whatever instructions we are provided. As academics we are both extremely accustomed to closely following instructions in an academic or laboratory context. Animals are much easier than lab work. We give animals plenty of attention and, when appropriate, plenty of exercise. If we think there is something wrong we alert the owner immediately and, if necessary, take the animal to the owner's preferred vet. Most importantly, we know how reassuring it is to get nice photos / videos of a happy pup during their stay. So we like to make sure we send those smiles along.
“McKenna was excellent with our 1 year old Frenchie. She kept us updated through texts and pictures of our little guy. She helped identify some behaviors that we need to correct and she was so good with him and with offering us advice.”

About: Hi! I’m Lauren and I am an avid dog/animal lover and my favorite hobby is to go on long walks and to get active. I’m a recent college graduate looking to make some extra money utilizing two of my favorite things. I’ve grown up taking care of my own fur baby’s as well as many neighbors and friends. From big dogs to small dogs I’m here for any of your pets needs. I love to go on daily walks and give your animal the attention they deserve. I am currently on a flexible remote schedule so any last minute plans I’m here to help out. It’s most comfortable for your pet if they stay in their normal schedule so let me know what that’s like so I can mirror it for you. The more directions you can give me on how to care for your animal the better I want your dog as well as you taken care of.
About: As a certified energy healer of people and pets (especially dogs and cats), I deeply connect with them and feel and understand their love and empathy. I truly believe that they are angels and therapists and I love to spend time with them. I look forward to receiving your trust to love and care for them. I have a flexible schedule and can work around the time that I am caring for my family and pets etc. during my available hours. It depends on which service is requested while always strictly adhering to Rover policies as well as the client’s needs. Will send regular updates and photos.
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.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of every age and personality, but the seniors and medical-needs ones have truly changed my heart. I understand the patience and gentleness they need from giving medications to helping them feel safe and loved again. I’ve also worked with puppies, helping them build confidence and learn good habits early on. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior soul, I make sure each dog feels like they belong and are cared for as if they were my I’m own. I work from home most of the month so I am able to care for my dogs and a few special need dogs. I have cared for dogs with multiple health issues such as diabetes, heart issues, cancer, kidney issues and more. I can help give medications, insulin or any other special needs. I treat every pet like my own. At my home, they have a large yard to play and explore safely, and plenty of cozy spots to relax. My dogs love to cuddle, so there’s always lots of affection and comfort. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I make sure they feel loved, secure, and part of the family.
About: Hello, my name is Cassie and I love dogs of every shape, size, and personality. I have experience working in a veterinary clinic as a technician as well as caring for rescue dogs. I currently have a boxer rescue and am very familiar with fearful temperaments who need a little extra patience. I am very caring and active and will give your dog as much love and play time as they want each day! I’m currently available full time with limited notice if you need your dog cared for last minute or planned ahead. Feel free to reach out to confirm availability. I live in Newport Beach near the peninsula and am very close to parks and the beach to take your pup. We will be sure to go on walks, potty breaks, and adventures around the area.
About: Hi, my name is Selena, and I have been caring for animals, including dogs and cats, since I was 18 years old. Before I started pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, I had my own pets growing up. I had a black cat named Blacky as a child and a terrier mix named Hope, who sadly passed away in 2023. Both of them were deeply loved, and they are the reason I have such a soft spot for animals. When pet sitting, I always follow the rules given to me and pay close attention to any indoor and outdoor allergies. My goal is to have fun with your pets while you take care of your busy day. I'm excited to meet your furry companions! I am a college student but fully online so I am flexible during the weekdays. I do have a permanent part-time job but as summer season arrives I will be working less hours during the summer.

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors, friends, and family dogs and cats of all kinda since I was a young child. I am responsible, clean, and absolutely love animals. I would love to help you out in walking, playing, feeding, and taking great care of your animals! I work from home on Fridays so I am the perfect long weekend sitter! I am available for walks/check-ins on Mon-Thurs after 5pm. Your dog will be my best buddy while I am caring for them! They will get all the attention and activity they need. Play-time, cuddles, walks, anything they need!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I could remember! From taking care of neighbors dogs while they were on vacation in the summertime when I was younger to now! I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes my entire life. Chihuahua to Saint Bernard, I love them all :) I’m currently working full time, but WFH so I’m always looking forward to going on a walk middle of the day or just all in all getting out of my apartment for a bit! I can help out either before work, around lunchtime, or after most days. I never try to push the boundaries with what a dog might be comfortable with! I understand that I’m a stranger to them and can’t fault them if they are a bit wary at first! For dog walking if there are any places in the area you’d like for me to avoid, just let me know! Maybe parks aren’t their favorite, that’s okay we can walk in a neighborhood. Or maybe they are reactive at the beach, we can try the park, etc! Please just communicate with me any possible roadblocks and I’ll try my best to accommodate so they can have a good time as well.

About: Our pets are as unique as we are! Each one has its own personality. I understand how our human daily lives can leave us feeling like we are not giving our pet children the attention, time and love they should have. No need to feel guilty!! Let me fill in for you on those long days! Long walks, playing and affection are some of the things that really do help most animals from experiencing anxiety and loneliness ! I'm happy to help! I have had dogs my entire life, all kinds and all sizes- from a 120lb dog to an 8lb dog and 12 lb kitty. I Love them all !!! My schedule can be coordinated with yours to ease your mind. Trust is important, I realize these are people's babies and will treat them as they would! Routine is what most thrive on, no need for a lapse in that....Let me know how I can help!! - Time to take a walk to the Dog Beach!!=} I would prefer that you drop off and pick up, if possible though. Thank you My schedule is completely flexible. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, loving and kind. A routine seems to be what works best for pets, but extra time is always such a treat! I have a condo close to the beach with a lot of fresh air and places to enjoy! I can take your fur baby on long or short walks, play with them at home, at the park, at the beach. I'd take into consideration what you tell me makes them most comfortable. If they just like to get tummy rubs, then tummy rubs it is! =} I can not have 'Barkers' though, out of consideration for my neighbors. Thank you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Newport Beach is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 November 2026, there are 9,313 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newport Beach. 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 Beach. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
