“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!”
About: I've grown up with cats in my home and was lucky enough to have a beautiful Great Dane for five years, who sadly passed away last year. Having him taught me a lot about caring for and handling large-breed dogs, and I'm comfortable taking dogs of different sizes out for walks. I've also walked dogs belonging to family members and enjoy giving them exercise, attention and time to explore. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to spend time with your cat or dog during the day, whether that's keeping them company, playing with them or sticking to their usual routine. I'm looking forward to welcoming dogs and cats into my life again and making sure they feel safe, happy and cared for while their owners are away. As I work from home, I can offer dog/cats plenty of company, attention and playtime throughout the day. I'm available for weekday walks and Drop-In visits from 9am to 5pm. I can fit in walks, garden playtime, cuddles and regular breaks throughout the day, while making sure your dog/cat feels comfortable and settled in my care. I understand that every dog/cat has their own routine and needs, so I'll do my best to follow their usual feeding, walking, resting and play schedules. My aim is to make sure your dog/cat feels happy, relaxed and well cared for while you're busy or away. Your dog/cats safety, comfort and happiness will always be a priority while they're in my care. As I work from home, Im flexible with my schedule, can work from anywhere including at your own home where I'll be around to provide company, attention and regular breaks throughout the day for your dog/cat. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a much-loved family member, so I'll take the time to learn about your dog/cats personality, routine, feeding requirements, exercise needs and any anxieties or special care instructions. I'm happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand so you and your dog/cat can get to know me. I'll follow your instructions carefully, keep you updated with messages and photos, and let you know how your dog/cat is settling. My goal is to make every walk, visit or sitting a safe, happy and comfortable experience, with plenty of love, attention and reassurance.
“Sabrina did a pre-booking meet and greet with myself and Katyusha, the latter seemed at ease. We ran through feeding routines etc, and then proceeded with a booking the next evening. Katyusha seems to have eaten well, interacted and enjoyed Sabrina's company. The house was left spotless and there was nothing out of place. Katyusha had been left with plenty of food and water and overall everything seems to have gone well. I would have no hesitation in Sabrina looking after Katyusha overnight again.”
“Ieva was great. She was really thorough at the meet and greet beforehand which gave us peace of mind. She sent regular updates and photos while we were away and would definitely use her again.”
“A very kind, reliable & lovely person/sitter. Was updated with vids & pics after missing my cat so much! Followed my instructions to perfection and left the flat in great condition as my cat is known to mess things up 🤣 Highly recommend 👌 Thanks Ying!”

“I am extremely happy with the care Claudia provided for my cat. She did an outstanding job and went above and beyond everything I asked. My cat is usually very stressed when we are away, but this time he was calm, relaxed, and clearly very happy. I have had other cat sitters before, but none compare to Claudia. I highly recommend her.😍”

“Melanie was an amazing cat sitter. She came to meet me beforehand so I could show her where the food was kept and explain their routines. Melanie was completely lovely and I felt totally secure knowing she would be looking after my 2 babies. Melanie kept me updated throughout and kept them well fed and loved. Would recommend Melanie for anyone looking for a sitter”
About: Hello I’m Ruby a 18 year old student who is passionate about providing calm, reliable and compassionate care to ensure your pets are content in the comfort of their own home. I have been doing casual shifts in a stray kennels which has allowed me to gain experience with rescue and nervous dogs. I am currently working on a diploma 4 expanding my knowledge on a canines care, behaviour management and welfare. In addition to this I have been pursuing a hobby of canine photography so you should be expecting lots of lovely and frequent photos while you’re away. I have grown up in a household that has always owned cats so I can provide cat care as well which is tailored to their needs. My priority is the animals welfare, creating consistency and calmness while the owners are away. For the comfort and the safety of pets, I am currently unable to work with cats or dogs that have history of aggression or bad behavioural problems. I wish to be informed about the animals needs and do a meet and greet to ensure I will be the right fit for them during drop ins or overnight stays. (Currently in the process of learning to drive) I am currently doing casual shifts meaning I have lots of flexibility to attend drop ins or overnights throughout weekdays and on weekends however advanced bookings will need to be scheduled so I can plan my availability! I will be caring for pets in the owners home based off their own needs through maintaining their usual routine and welfare. I’ll also treat every home with respect and keeping them consistently updated.
About: Hello! I’ve grown up in a pet-loving family and currently have my own two cats (Spooky and Teemu) and one year old working Labrador (Otis). I absolutely love pets and understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, happy and loved for when you’re away. I can’t wait for the opportunity to meet and care for your pet! Note: unless otherwise requested, I will walk your dog separately to my own! I work full-time in a hybrid role. My work from home days are flexible but tend to be Monday and Friday. Please just reach out if there are specific days/times your pet needs care for as I’m happy to be flexible where possible! I have two cats and one dog. My services will therefore be limited to drop ins, walks and sitting at your property. Unless requested otherwise, all dog walks will take place with your dog only. My own dog will be walked separately.
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!

About: I have hands on experience as a part time trainee dog groomer in cwmbran, where I'm developing my knowledge of pet care, pet first aid, coat and skin health. I've also gained valuable knowledge through participating a level 2 Animal care course at Usk college.

I'm passionate about animal welfare and making sure every pet feels safe and comfortable and well cared for. I'll treat your pets with the same kindness and care I give my own.

I know animal body language and health signs pretty well thanks to my Usk course. I'll provide a safe, calm environment, and follow your instructions carefully. I'm confident to administer prescribed medication if necessary.
“Booked Caitlin relatively last minute for the bank holiday weekend! We had never booked a cat sitter before so it was all a little nerve wracking but Caitlin put us completely at ease and was incredibly helpful. She responds super quickly and was happy to set up our feeder on visits as well as learn how best to interact with our Peppy cat. Peppy was so pleased with her company and Caitlin did such a great job - will be booking again!”
About: I have always had animals and particularly love dogs. I previously did lots of dog walking and pet sitting through Rover while living near Southampton and later in the Vale of Glamorgan, alongside regularly looking after pets for friends and family. I took a break after buying a house and starting a new job, but now that I am settled and know my working hours, I am looking forward to getting back into it. I have grown up with dogs, cats and other pets, including a Collie/Retriever and a Jack Russell/Chihuahua, and I always take the time to understand an animal's individual needs and personality. Growing up on the coast also means I am very comfortable handling and walking dogs in more challenging environments, including beaches, coastal paths, rivers and around livestock. My background in environmental science has also involved working carefully and respectfully with wildlife, and I have volunteered in a dogs' home and helped care for stray animals while working abroad. I am very active and love being outdoors, so I am equally happy with energetic dogs who need a proper walk and those who prefer a slower, sniffier outing. Most importantly, I want owners to feel confident that their pets are being cared for safely, responsibly, and as individuals. I work mostly from home with flexible working hours, so pet care fits really well into my normal routine. As long as I attend my scheduled meetings, I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins and spending time with pets throughout the day, as well as in the evenings. I occasionally need to be out in the field for work, but I usually have plenty of notice and can manage my Rover availability around these days. Now that I am settled into my job and know my work schedule, I can make sure I only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I always follow the routines, boundaries, and training that you already have in place, as I know consistency is important for both dogs and cats. I am comfortable administering medication where needed and following specific feeding, walking, or care instructions. For dogs, I am also happy to use a crate if this is part of their normal routine and to follow your rules around leads, recall, interactions with other dogs, and access around the home. I will always prioritise your pet’s safety and comfort and treat both them and your home with care and respect.
About: I grew up with a family who love dogs and cats and often pet sit for them. Patience for the older, energy for the young! I currently have a part time job so in my spare time I'm often going for walks around my park. Taking care of a pet fits in well in my life and lifts my spirits as much as I hope I do theirs! My garden is fenced off and big enough for a run around. I also have a cat at home that would love to keep any pet company, he is very well behaved and friendly.
The median cost per Visit for cat sitting in Newport is £12

I booked Sian to visit my cats for two weeks and they seemed to be very well looked after. Sian sent pictures and any updates or questions she thought relevant. She listened to the instructions given and nothing was too much for her. When we came bach, the place was clean and tidy. I would not hesitate to recommed Sian. In fact, I have booked her services for next week. Thanks Sian.
Really great. Claudia agreed to come on short notice to look after my cat for a week. She's clearly an animal lover and even my skittish cat took a liking to her (when she offered him a treat). She arrived every day on time, kept me updated and respected my property. Will definitely book Claudia again if I can.
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
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!

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Newport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Newport is £13 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £10 and £17 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.
There are 1,204 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Newport. About 91% 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 occurred. 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 must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've 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're 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'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer 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-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 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 booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 82% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 90% 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.
