“Maria was the best cat sitter we could have hoped for. Our senior boy Vinnie who can be quite shy, was so happy, came out of his shell & he made a new friend and we had daily text and photo updates which really helped with being away from him! Maria made sure he had his daily medicines, play time and lots of scritches! Definitely recommending Maria”
“We have been using Aimee for a couple of weeks now, and she’s been nothing short of amazing with our two little babies! Keeps us updated with pics and gives us a little message on how their day went. Very thorough with what dates she can do, and lets us know well in advance days she can’t do. Thank you so much Aimee for looking after our little ones.”
“Ying-Ying has been amazing and made my 3 weeks of holidays stress free knowing my kitten was in good hands. Excellent communications skills (pictures, videos, general updates) everyday sent on WhatsApp. I would 100% recommend.”
“Ieva stopped by for another bonding session with our "difficult" Rommie rescue Toni. She is wonderfully patient with him and understands his reactive behaviour is him being a terrified old boy because of his troubled history. She takes the time to learn his boundaries and is very good at asserting her boundaries too. Toni was even offering his paw and listening to her recall commands, and this was just the 2nd session of bonding. Long may this continue up until and beyond our vacation in June, where Ieva has provisionally agreed to house sit Toni and his cat sister Zora.”
“Melanie was absolutely amazing and gave my cat the best and most loving care I could have hoped for! I was nervous about leaving him but Melanie made it so easy as she sent lots of photos updating me on how he was doing and posted such lovely updates with lots of detail 💓 I cannot recommend Melaine enough and will be rebooking with her when we next go away! xxx”
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs since the age of 7, I’ve always been an animal lover. I regularly take care of relatives and friends pets and have been trusted to do so from about the age of 10. I am so happy to have discovered this app, nothing makes me happier than spending time with animals and being out in nature, I find it very beneficial for my mental health. I currently have a very free and flexible schedule since finishing uni, so plenty of time to play, walk and take care of some dogs! I’ve had experience with all different breeds and sized dogs. I consider my dogs to be members of my family, so I would always treat other people’s pets as I would my own and shower them with love and attention.
“Jess was very happy with Krisztina visiting and even waited on the drive for her. Krisztina knows her stuff about cats and I was very happy to leave Jess in her care.”
“Hannah made us feel so reassured our cat was safe and in good hands a followed our fussy food instructions perfectly. Our cat is normally timid around new people but took a liking to Hannah straight away and we know this because she only ‘boops’ strangers hands with her nose for scritches when she likes and trusts you. Hannah kept us updated with photos and videos and we could tell from our cats behaviour she was happy to see Hannah. We would highly recommend Hannah and will continue to book her in future.”
About: I've taken care of animals from dogs, cats and hamsters and each animal has been very spoilt as I have a lot of love to give to these precious creatures. I'm always available 6 days a week to look after my friends or families dogs/ cats and have catered to each animals needs. I've always been an animal lover and have grown up with both cats and dogs and have bought my own cats a soon as I've moved out. I work from home which means I am flexible throughout the day and I can walk your dog whenever you need me too. No hassle no fuss. You can be assured that when your pet returns, that they will return very happy. They may return with a new toy or a few treats :) If you are enable to travel, I am willing to travel to you and walk your furry friend around your area, equally I can take them back to my area and walk them. I plan on providing for each furry friend what he or she enjoys the best. For example if your dog loves playing fetch, well do that, if your dog loves going on a run with their hooman, we'll do that, does your dog like to go for a swim? We'll do that. I'm all about putting the care, needs and safety of your dog first. I know parks can be full of bikes and scooters too but I want to assure you that I'm always aware of this as my own dog loves to bark and would possibly chase them if she were allowed so I'm always on the look out for them. I highly recommend not booking me on very hot days as I do not want burn their little paws on the hot path. I do have a portable water bowl to bring on each walk incase they get thirsty. When I walk my own dogs, I usually keep them on a short lead (whilst near roads) untill I get to the park/ field where either is safe enough to either let them off the lead or extend the lead so they have a bit more freedom. I live very close to a few vets so you never need to worry if anything were to go wrong. I have actually taken stray dogs/ my friends dogs to the vets to get seen when there was something wrong.
About: I have a spoilt pooch of my own. I also grew up with dogs and cats. I am passionate about all animal care, so I have been volunteering at a zoo for the last 2 years. Previous kennels worker. I will look after your pet like they are my own. I am currently employed, but message me to find out how I can schedule you in. I am free every evening and Sunday, any other time please feel free to contact me. I have a large fenced garden which is secure. I am always careful when entering or leaving a property, so to make sure pets are safe.
“Megan was wonderful with Jarvis. She kept me updated throughout with regular photos and messages, which was really reassuring. Jarvis is a nervous cat, but he was comfortable enough around Megan to let her give him his medication, which as a cat with epilepsy is really important. Would recommend her and would happily book again. Thank you Meg 😊”
“Claudia was fab with Bali! A bouncy dog is not for everyone but she managed her so well & made sure she behaved! Claudia kept in touch & provided multiple updates. Would definitely recommend her & will no doubt use her again in future. Thanks again :)”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, spending most of my childhood with my best friend and her dogs. I've done walking for friends, family, house pet sitting for colleagues, including feeding, playing, walking with lots of cute photos! I'm currently working part time so am able to be more flexible with bookings, choosing which days I would like to work. On working days I finish at 3:30 so will still be available every afternoon and evening. I do not have a crate however have lots of toys. I live on the waterfront so lots of fresh air and scenery for walks and movement breaks:)
About: I am an experienced and reliable pet-sitter who has always loved taking care of my own and other people's pets - I have always owned dogs. I have looked after dogs, cats and rabbits of all ages for my family and friends, so anything from pups and kittens to seniors are not a problem for me :) Playing with dogs and cats is always the best part of taking care of them, so I am completely comfortable with high and low energy pets! I also love exploring nature walks in and around Newport, and would love to bring your dog along with me! I am currently a university student and am missing my little pets so much, so I would love to walk and take care of yours, and have plenty of time to do so! I currently cannot board any pets, but I would love to walk, drop-in, or house-sit, making sure they are comfortable and well looked after. Being a university student means I have lots of time to care for and walk your pets! Even during term-time, I can adjust my schedule in order to care for the pets appropriately, and am always free to take your dogs on their favourite walks. I am happy to house-sit or drop in according to your boundaries and preferences! I am able to take care of anything from pups to senior pets, and try to adapt my schedule to the pets'. I love to know everything about the pets I take care of, like their favourite foods, toys, and activities. I love knowing the dogs' favourite routes or places for their walks, to make sure they have loads of fun and are tuckered out by home time!

Tracey and Julian looked after my little cat, Boo, for three days, and I honestly couldn’t have chosen better people. Finding the right pet sitter can be difficult because I wanted someone who would give my boy the same love, care, and attention that I do. From the moment I met Tracey and Julian, I knew I’d made the right choice. They kept me updated with messages, photos, and videos after every visit, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear from every update that Boo was happy, relaxed, and comfortable with them. Tracey and Julian are genuinely kind, caring, and patient, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. I’ll definitely be booking them again whenever I need a pet sitter. Thank you both so much for taking such wonderful care of Boo!
Sian was an excellent cat sitter, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. She was kind, reliable, and clearly cared about my cats. Throughout the stay she kept me updated with messages and lovely photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. When I returned home, my cats were relaxed, happy, and well looked after. It was clear they had been given plenty of attention and care. Thank you, Sian, for taking such wonderful care of them—I would be delighted to book with you again in the future!
First time using someone to look after our 6 cats that wasnt family. So a bit anxious at first. But needn't have worried, Dominika sent regular photos of them playing and they all looked happy, which was a huge relief. Even Jasmine, the more nervous of the group came out from her hiding spot for fuss. Thank you so much for looking after our babies, would definitely use again and highly recommended
Amazing service! Ana kept me informed every day and wrote detailed accounts of my cats and what they had been up to with photos to match. The process of discussing my cats and their care/schedules was super simple. I’d 100% recommend Ana if you’re looking for an exceptional cat sitter.
Thank you so much to Krisztina for taking such wonderful care of my little cat, Elaf. She kept me updated after every visit with photos and messages about how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Elaf was clearly comfortable and well looked after. I will definitely be using your services again — thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Newport on Rover is £12.65 per Visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,004 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Newport. About 92% of Newport sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, 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 key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
