About: I bring nearly 10 years of experience caring for homes and pets, from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle Bernese Mountain Dogs. I’m skilled in puppy training, senior pet care, and understanding each animal’s unique needs. As a Mindset & Mental Health coach, I naturally bring patience, calm, and strong intuition, ensuring pets feel safe and loved. Known for my reliability, warmth, and attention to detail, I give homeowners complete peace of mind while they’re away. I work fully remote as a Mindset & Mental Health coach, which gives me a flexible daily and weekly routine. This allows me to dedicate plenty of focused time to your pets—feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship—while also keeping your home tidy and well cared for. My remote work schedule ensures I’m consistently present, attentive, and available to respond to any needs as they arise. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I care for. I prefer to sit at clients’ homes, keeping pets in the comfort of their familiar surroundings and routines. I care for them just as if they were my own—providing companionship, attention, and affection while ensuring their space is clean, secure, and stress-free. My goal is for both pets and homeowners to feel completely at ease while I’m caring for them.
About: I offer over 5 years of professional, paid pet-sitting experience combined with a lifetime of loving and living with dogs. As a lifelong dog owner and experience being a foster dog parent, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and set of needs. My background includes successfully managing dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, ranging from playful 1-year-old puppies to gentle 13-year-old seniors. Because I work from home full-time, your pet will receive constant companionship, supervision, and a consistent routine. I am experienced in administering oral medications (pills) and adjusting my care style to match your dog's energy levels and personality. Whether your pet needs a calm environment, structured walks, or high-energy playtime, I provide a safe and structured environment that makes them feel comfortable and cared for. Because I work from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am available throughout the day to provide constant supervision, potty breaks, and companionship. For house sitting, I can blend into your pet's normal routine, ensuring they never feel lonely. For walks and drop-in visits, I can easily accommodate mid-day requests or specific timing needs that fit your schedule. Safety is my absolute top priority. Having fostered and owned dogs of all sizes and personalities, I know how to read their body language to hopefully prevent stressful situations. I am experienced in safely administering oral medications (pills) and managing both high-energy pups and gentle seniors aged 1 to 13. I strictly follow all owner guidelines regarding feeding, exercise, and household rules to maintain a secure, predictable, and trustworthy environment for your furry family member.
About: I’m Caroline, a 30-year-old dog lover with nearly two decades of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I aim to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m patient, dependable, and detail-oriented, and I adapt easily to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog has a simple routine or a more involved one—including exercise, feeding, medications, or other specialized care—I’m happy to follow all instructions exactly as provided. I’m comfortable with walks, exercise, brushing, feeding, cleaning up after pets, reinforcing basic training, and caring for dogs who need extra attention or structure. I understand how much trust it takes to leave both your dog and your home in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your dog’s well-being is always my top priority. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I currently have a flexible routine and will be starting a graduate program this fall in Counseling Psychology that meets three consecutive days per month. I expect to be able to comfortably balance my studies and pet care within my schedule. I provide care in client homes and follow all instructions carefully to maintain each pet’s normal routine. I pay close attention to feeding, exercise, medications, and any special care requirements to ensure consistency and comfort for the pet. I also treat every home with respect, keeping things clean and tidy during and after each visit.
“Marketta has been wonderful! We have had her come over twice and we will definitely use her the next time we go out of town. Our dog Gracie loves her and was so happy to have her here while we were gone. when we got back she was a very happy and a well taken care of doggie.”


“Gina was an amazing caregiver to my older diabetic Yorkie and young cat! She took such great care of them and my house. And also sent thoughtful updates and pics. I will definitely be using her services again.”

About: Hi, I’m Courtney! I’m based right in CDM steps from Crystal Cove, and I absolutely love what I do. My days are spent walking the coast, hiking the trails, and giving dogs the kind of attention and care that actually makes a difference. It’s genuinely my favorite part of my day. I’ve had dogs of my own for 15+ years and have experience with a wide range of breeds I can read body language, understand what a dog needs in the moment, and adjust on the fly. I have a special love for working breeds and high-energy dogs who actually want to do something on a walk. I work from home running a wellness business, so your dog gets real time and presence not someone rushing between jobs. Walks with me mean actual coastal adventures: Crystal Cove trails, Little Corona Beach, tide pool paths with ocean views. I’m an early riser, I keep a consistent schedule, and I pay attention to how your dog is feeling that day. My home is calm, clean, and non-toxic that’s just how I live. Good energy, no chaos, and plenty of cozy spots to decompress between adventures. You’ll get photos and updates so you always know they’re happy and well. I keep my roster small because I actually want to know your dog their quirks, their favorite spots, what makes them light up. Whether you need a reliable daily walker or someone to love on them while you travel, I’d love to meet them! 🐾 Working from home in my fitness & nutrition business means pets get constant attention and care. It's a daily dose of exercise and joy that complements my healthy lifestyle. Walks, fetch, or just quiet moments, pets make my day and yours brighter! When it comes to pet care, it's all about their turf. I'm a firm believer in maintaining their routine at home, where they're comfy and happy. I seamlessly fit into their schedule, whether it's mealtime, playtime, or cuddle time. Rest assured, your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities!
About: I am a certified animal communicator and reiki practitioner with over 10 years of experience. However I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. I have experience caring for senior dogs as well as those with vision and hearing impairment. I also volunteer my communication services to animal rescues to help dogs exhibiting puzzling behavior be heard. In addition I work as an animal transporter for several rescues, so I guess you could say I’m a professional canine chauffeur! I have experience working with a wide range of ages and breeds. So be it a pittie puppy, a middle aged pug, or a senior chihuahua, I am comfortable with them all and will ensure your pup feels safe, happy, and secure while you are away. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible which allows me to accommodate your pup’s unique schedule and playtime needs. Whether they are an early bird or a night owl, I’ve got you covered! When caring for your fur baby in the comfort of their own home, I acknowledge that I am the new comer coming into their space. I always take it slow and allow the animal to share what they wish to with me, just as you would with a young child. This establishes a foundation of trust that we can build upon.
“Alyssa was hands down so amazing! She watched and cared for Hobbs over the weekend as if he were her own and sent us updates too. We left her notes for his schedule and feeding and she followed them to a T! So grateful to have found someone so warm and caring 🥹 thank you Alyssa!! She will be our go to for sure!!

About: I have years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, and I take the responsibility seriously. That means daily walks for dogs, meals served on time, and attentive care for animals with specific routines around feeding or walking. I clean up after pets consistently, both inside and out, and keep the home tidy throughout the stay so you come back to a space that feels well cared for. I also handle the practical things, bringing in mail, taking out trash, watering plants, and keeping an eye on the overall flow of the home. My goal is always for pets to feel settled and loved, and for the home to feel just as you left it. I currently work from home and see clients part time.

“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.”

“I cannot say enough nice things about our experience with Silvia. My dog absolutely loves her and she did a wonderful job dog sitting and house sitting while we were away. I highly recommend her.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, including my own Samoyed, Ghost, who I’ve raised and trained since he was a puppy. His name is Ghost Winterfell Cordas like from Game of Thrones. As his primary caregiver, I handle everything from daily walks and feeding to grooming and training. I’ve taught him obedience and tricks, and I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Friends and family trust me to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care, and I always treat every dog like my own. I’m a UW–Madison student with classes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:30-5:15, but I have a very flexible schedule outside of that. I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, including weekends. I have plenty of free time to give your dog attention, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and routines. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, and any specific needs to keep pets comfortable and consistent. I make sure the home stays clean, secure, and exactly how I found it. I’m very attentive, communicate updates regularly, and treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect as my own.

“Cierra is as professional as they come! So reassuring to find such a trusted and well regarded dog expert to have stay with my Leo while I was out of town. She made such a thoughtful effort to understand Leo’s needs and routine, and was super communicative throughout the entire stay. Will be my go-to in the future!”

“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.”

“Patrick and Samantha were wonderful! They gave me lots of updates, and my puppy looked like she was having a blast while we were away. I highly recommend them!!”

“We are so glad we found Julie. She watched our boy for a week and took great care of him and our home. She was very reliable and attentive, taking extra time to play with him to help reduce any separation anxiety. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again. Julie is great.”

Miranda house sat for our cat for 10 days and she was amazing! She was available last minute when our other sitter cancelled. She was very communicative throughout the stay, sending us numerous photos and videos every day. She also spent a significant amount of time with our cat each day and even watered our plants for us! Wonderful sitter, would highly recommend

Alyssa took wonderful care of my two pups, with periodic updates on their walks, meals and how their day went. Lots of photos too, which put me at ease. She was easy to communicate with, and she set up a meet and greet so the pups could get to know her prior to the sit.

Marketta went above and beyond while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. This is the 2nd time she has watched our pups over night this time being for an extended time. We came home with our dogs being much more relaxed than the first time. We appreciate her patience and traiming to help them with their separation anxiety. I highly recommend her but at the same time dont want to tell you how awesome she is because we want her to be available for our pups who adore her so much! 😉 ☺️💗 We will definitely be booking Marketta again and again! Thank ypu so much 💖

FAQs for House Sitting - Newport Coast
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Newport Coast on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,842 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newport Coast. 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 Coast 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 Coast 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 Coast 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 96% 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.
