“Courtney was wonderful with our dog. She had been spayed the week prior, so we needed someone to watch her. We will definitely use her again. Willow looks forward to going on long walks with Courtney in the near future.”
“Caroline took wonderful care of our older golden at our house for the past couple days. We came home to a very happy pup and a clean house! Can’t ask for more than that!”
About: I have a farm in Costa Rica and I love animals. I live in Costa Rica and Cali taking care of American akitas. I live to walk dogs. I’m semi retired and need something to do and keep me moving. And extra cash is nice. I’m very patient and honest and to the point. I like to walk and I enjoy dogs company. I will make sure they get the exercise and attention they need to be a happy dog and tired.
About: What sets me apart is the combination of meticulous, individualized care and real experience with reactive dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, routines, and boundaries, and I’m attentive to the little details that help them feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I also love getting dogs outside for plenty of enrichment, whether that’s exploring the Back Bay, enjoying nature, going on walks, or simply having a fun adventure at their own pace. My goal is for every dog to have a safe, attentive environment and feel like they’re on their own little vacation. I work full time from home in OC, California. I have a fairly good size apartment and a large patio (almost small yard size) with access to lots of walking trails immediately behind my home. Your dog will be cared for as if they were my own Juno boy. I’m extremely detail-oriented when it comes to pet care, and safety is always my highest priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, quirks, and comfort level so I can provide truly individualized care rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. In my home, I have a crate-trained dog and several separate rooms, along with gates that allow me to safely manage different spaces. This means I can comfortably accommodate more sensitive, shy, reactive, or simply more independent dogs who may need their own space or gradual introductions. I’m very mindful of interactions between pets and never assume that every dog wants the same level of socialization. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I’m attentive to their environment, behavior, and wellbeing throughout the day. I want you to feel completely confident that your pet is not only getting plenty of love and attention, but is being cared for thoughtfully, safely, and responsibly while you’re away.
“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!”
“Amyra was absolutely wonderful! We needed a sitter last minute for our little ones, and she responded immediately, even showing up for a meet and greet the next day. Both my cat and pup just loved her- I was amazed at just how quickly she put them at ease. She was responsible, attentive, and sent photos and updates throughout. It was such a relief to know that my little ones were safe, secure, and in good hands. Thank you, Amyra, for being there for us!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and started watching neighbors’ and family’s dogs and cats when I was just 10 years old. Growing up, dogs in the neighborhood would follow me home from the bus stop… my mom always joked I’d made another new friend. That love for animals has never faded. I have my own dog at home who gets along great with all dogs, and I’m available for daily walks, boarding, house/dog sitting, and cat sitting too. My schedule is flexible since my kids are in school, so I have availability at different times throughout the day and can work around your needs to make sure your pup gets consistent care. I have a comfortable, kid-friendly home where your pet will feel right at home. dogs are welcome on the furniture here! I also love taking dogs on walks and for playtime at the beach for extra exercise, fresh air, and fun in a safe, relaxed environment
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.
“June was a lifesaver at the last minute when we headed out on a family trip. She was great with all three of our lovebugs and checked in often as needed. We will definitely use her again.”
“Mackenzie provided lovely care for our two large dogs. She communicated well and provided updates with photos to check in, which created peace of mind while we were away from our dogs. I would love to have Mackenzie watch our dogs again!”
“Sabha was a total professional. The communication was strong from the start. Communicated expectations garnered responsiveness and results. He house sat for us for four days. When we had to extend due to a change in plans, he accommodated. When we returned home, the kitchen had been cleaned and the house had been vacuumed. It was cleaner than when we left. Will absolutely book again. Thanks Sabaha!”
“Evelyn took the best care of my toast. She came on time, sent pictures and videos, administered medication and played and snuggled. She watched after my sphinx as if was her baby and I appreciated having peace of mind on my trip that my cat was taken care of and loved. Will definitely rehire”
“Abigail took great care of our pets Jenna and Celly while house sitting. She sent us photos every day, and left the place nice and clean. She was very respectful and we felt our pets were well cared for! I would recommend her to a friend. Thanks Abigail!”
“Elena was fantastic! She kept in touch with us frequently, providing updates on how our fur babies were doing, which put our minds at ease while we were away on a family trip. Elena took great care of our animals, and it was clear that our fur babies enjoyed her company. We were truly impressed by her level of care. We will definitely request to have Elena back the next 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.”
“Tim was very responsive while organizing the trip and while I was away. Followed all the instructions and gave our high energy dog the perfect amount of exercise. 10/10”
“Haley was on time, took great care of our baby. He was happy and cared for when we got back. Took him on long walks. She also painted a portrait of Pepsi that looks just like him 💕 would rebook and recommend”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newport Coast
Katherine was amazing! She was so good with our small dog! She paid close attention to detail and followed our directions to a T. She had great communication and went above and beyond. We are so grateful to have found her, and would highly recommend! Thank you for taking such good care of our home and our little girl!
This was our first experience using Rover, and Jordan was so wonderful to work with! Our girl, Teddi, unexpectedly needed dental surgery shortly before we traveled from Denver to Newport Beach for my brother’s wedding, and I ended up driving her with me so I could continue caring for her while she healed. It was also Teddi’s first vacation staying in a hotel, and we weren’t sure how she would do in the room without us. Since the hotel had us agree not to leave dogs unattended, we didn’t want to chance it and found ourselves looking for help pretty last minute. Needless to say, we were in a bit of a stressed state with all of this going on, especially during a wedding weekend! Jordan was so communicative, flexible, and helpful in figuring out a plan that worked for us. Teddi stayed with her during our evening events while we were still able to handle her morning care ourselves, and Jordan even brought her back to our hotel after the wedding! We felt completely comfortable with Teddi in her care, including keeping up with her nighttime meds, which really allowed us to relax and actually be present for such a special weekend. It was such a blessing that Jordan was available, and it’s clear she has a heart for dogs. We’re so grateful we found her & will absolutely call her the next time we’re visiting Newport with Teddi!
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.
Charlotte responded to a last minute request, and was super professional. She took excellent care of my two dogs, one of which was a new nervous rescue. Both dogs warmed up to Charlotte quickly. My newer rescue was not fully potty trained, but Charlotte took the dogs out to potty often, and fed them per the instructions. I would definitely recommend Charlotte to care for your pets and would trust her again with my dogs. A+++++
Jennifer is absolutely wonderful! She listens carefully to instructions, communicates clearly, and genuinely cares for my cat, Theodore. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in loving hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!

The average cost of House Sitting in Newport Coast is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $93 per night.

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 , 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.
