“Alison was a great sitter for our anxious bulldog. He felt right at home with her. She took care of his needs and sent updates and photos during the evening. We will definitely book Alison again to watch Theo.”
“Upon meeting Emily it was evident that she was an animal lover & was very experienced with all ages and types of dogs. She was so sweet and playful with our 4 month old puppy! She was very respectful of the house and left it better than when she arrived. She was very communicative with photos and put our minds at ease. Will book again!!”

“Emily was an incredible sitter for our chiweenie, Max. He’s a very anxious dog and she was able to not only calm him but make him her bestie in five short days. We appreciated having her in our home: she is neat, punctual and took great care of our space. 10/10 would recommend!!!”
“We were glad to have Jamie stay with us again, this time for a full week. She took care of our dogs and home while on vacation, even responding to a few off hour requests. Thanks again, we look forward to booking again soon.”
About: I love pets and house keeping and would love to help you with yours! I take pride in offering thorough care to put you at ease when you go away. I look forward to working for you and your pets! I work a part time job that is extremely flexible and allows me to work from home, meaning I can look after your pets in the exact way you want! I can spend as little or as much time as you want with them! I want your pets to feel like they are on vacay with me! I keep to them on their same routine while also giving them a little extra care since you are away. That way they won't be too sad while you are gone.
About: I have owned dogs, cats, and even reptiles for most of my life so I understand how difficult it can be to find someone reliable and trustworthy to babysit or just walk my fur babies. Life is always busy, so I joined rover to help my fellow owners. I work part time, so my schedule is a little different each week but I will work with u as much as I can. Fridays and Saturdays I cannot work throughout the summer. I have an automatic feeder for my own cat at home always making sure she’s fed and also a water fountain so she always has access to water. My dog always has water available and had a scheduled feed and outside time
“Maddy was a lifesaver! She stepped in on short notice to watch Teddy for the night and took such good care of him. When I came back Teddy was happy and relaxed. Highly recommend!”
About: I have owned and cared for pets all of my life and cannot imagine life without them. To be honest, I wouldn’t choose a life without them. In my lifetime, I have raised and cared for my own 4 cats and 9 dogs (one dog was completely deaf from birth) I am a seasoned veteran when it comes to caring for animals and know what it is like to fall in love with a pet. I often feel like I love animals more than some humans 😁 I guarantee that I will take fantastic care of your fur babies and treat them just as I treat my own pup! You will never be disappointed with the fun and support that I will provide to your pet. If you want the best care possible for your pets while you are not able to be with them, contact me and rest assured that your pet will be safe and happy under my care! I am currently to focused on this pet care business of mine because I am tired of 9-5 in an office and what better way for me to make a little money than being with pets! I love this job! When I am with your pet I am always on the lookout for any challenges. I never let your pet out of my sight. Safety always comes first with me.
“We were visiting on vacation and wanted someone to sit with our senior pup while we explored the town a bit. Gracie was great. She helped us out on short notice and was very nice and took great care of Bruce allowing us to be able torelax and enjoy the day worry free knowing he was in good hands!”
About: I have always lived with dogs my whole life. I have my own dog and I have helped friends and family by looking after their furry friends. I work full time but I am home in Newport everyday by 4:00pm so I would be able by 4:30 to care for your dog! I am also available most weekends at any time. I have a friendly dog and a fenced in yard where they could play! My home is also very spacious and always been dog friendly.
About: I've had dogs growing up my whole life, and adopted my very own six years ago! My partner and I just adopted another, so now we have two dogs, so I’m very used to walking multiple dogs at once. I have experience with anxious and reactive dogs, as well as with dogs that pull excessively. I would love to take care of your dog as if they were my own. I’m extremely detail oriented and pay close attention to details. Please let me know anything and everything I need to know about your pet! I’m currently working part time remotely as we transition to our new home, so I’m flexible most days of the week, and can accommodate most needs. I would prefer to take care of pets in clients homes, with the occasional possibility of caring for them in my home depending on if they get along with my dogs.
“Allison took great care of our fur babies and shared numerous pictures and videos. Lily and Daisy (Newfoundlands) were quite happy with her attention and love. We will definitely use Allison again.”
“~Hello, my name is Elizabeth and this is my story. I am an all white, American Short Hair Cat. I tend to be very shy and I like gentle, quiet people. Most people think I'm pretty, but you'd have to be the judge of that. My human mother (who I love dearly), is a bit over-protective (And that's putting it mildly.) I think "neurotic" would be a better word to describe her. She had a lot of anxiety about going on vacation and leaving me with a Cat Nanny. And I mean a LOT of anxiety. She was even driving my Dad crazy. Little did we know that things were about to change... when Kimberly came into our lives. Immediately we could tell she was a warm, kind person who genuinely loves animals. ~Kimberly took care of me and stayed overnight at my house. She fed me, gave me my meds and made sure my water bowls were clean and full. She took care of my litter box and kept it nice and clean, just the way I like it. She cuddled me and combed me the whole time. Boy, did I feel the love ! We also had a great time posing for all those photos we sent to Mom and Dad during the weekend. We even brought the mail in. ~But best of all, it was so nice having company at my house. When I woke up in the morning, Kimberly was there to give me my breakfast. And that's not an easy task because I have to eat very slowly due to my sensitive stomach. (Believe me, you don't want to see a cat lose her breakfast. It's not pretty.) But Kimberly was very patient and took good care of me. Ok, so I really need to apologize for getting her up, way too early in the morning, (Sorry Kimberly), but we did go back to sleep for a while. ~Now I don't want to hurt my Mom's feelings (I kind of missed her a little while she was away) but I sure had a lot of fun with Kimberly ! It was a great "Girls Weekend." And I just can't wait to see her again. In fact, both Mom and Dad were so delighted with Kimberly, that they are now planning their next vacation; a winter CRUISE. And the BEST PART?...I get to be with my new best friend, Kimberly. Bon Voyage, Mom and Dad! Have a great time !”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newport East
Lily made it so easy for me to actually enjoy my trip without worrying about Remi every day. Remi can definitely be a handful at times, but Lily handled her so well — and Remi absolutely adored her. That says a lot. 😊 I came home to a happy dog and a calm house, and I’m so grateful. Lily officially feels like a new member of our little family now, and I’d absolutely book with her again.
Gracie communicated well. She was engaging with our dog Sadie. She took care of her ( walked her, feed her, played with her and kept her overnight), The experience was professional, polite and good for Sadie. There are no items needing improvement. I will use Gracie again and recommend her highly. Tom W
Maria was fantastic with my dogs! She kept me updated with pics on the dogs while I was gone. You can tell she cares a great deal about making sure they are happy and safe. Dogs were well loved and I was able to enjoy a wedding weekend without stressing. 10/10 would book again.
Sophie took excellent care of my two kitties! She provided great updates and lots of photos. I appreciated how receptive she was to all of my tips and tricks for warming up my shy kitty, and he started coming out for her! When I returned the house was nice and clean as I had left it. Thank you Sophie!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Newport East
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Newport East on Rover is $77.7 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,240 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newport East. 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 East 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 East 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 East 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.

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.
