“Eve was a fantastic dog sitter and I couldn’t be happier. She stayed overnight at my house and took great care of Milo and Mollie. Milo is extremely nervous, but Eve put him at ease very quickly, which really meant a lot to me. Mollie loved the attention and definitely enjoyed her treats! Eve also took the dogs out for walks and made sure they were well looked after. She was very professional, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book her again. 🐶🐾”
“Thank you, Nicola, for looking after Storm! Storm was really well cared for and seemed to really enjoy her stay with you. It was clear that you followed all of my care instructions, which gave me great peace of mind. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Storm was in such good hands. Thank you again for taking such great care of her, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you and would happily book with you again! 💕”
“Steve looked after my fur baby exceptionally well. He is a very nice, kind and helpful man. Steve dilagently followed a rather complicated feeding and medication regime to the letter. When I got back from my break my boy was calm and happy. Steve sent me video, pictures and regular updates for which I was extremely grateful. Respected my home and kept it clean and tidy. Played and loved Dexter as if he was his own dog. Highly recommend Steve to look after your pet, I will definately be requesting he comes to look after Dexter again. Booked Steve at short notice because my original sitter cancelled due to a family grievance - Thankyou for helping me out I am extremely grateful.”
“Sabrina was brilliant right from the start! She stepped in with a last minute request to look after my dog for the weekend and after a meet and greet I was happy to leave him with her. She was reliable, easy to communicate with and clearly knew what she was doing. I returned to find a happy dog and a spotless house. I would highly recommend”
“From the beginning, Hayley was very easy to communicate with, quick to reply to messages and happy to arrange a house visit before agreeing to care for my pet Cat, Daisy. Over the course of the three days Hayley carried out home visits, she regularly sent pictures and updates, putting my mind to ease knowing that Daisy was in a safe pair of hands! I highly recommend Hayley as a sitter and would 100% use her again. Thanks Hayley!”
About: I’m an insured and dbs checked dog walker. I worked in a dog groomers so have experience with all breeds of dogs. I had 2 fur babies of my own until recently, sadly they are no longer with me. I believe all dogs should have the run of the house and be treated like family because they are! I’d look after your fur baby like they are my own. I currently work around the school times mostly then once school runs are done I work until evening time. This is everyday apart from weekend, where I am free to look after pets anytime. I have an enclosed garden with a high wall. I would take dogs out for walks twice a day unless otherwise requested or is is too hot. Dogs are allowed the full run of the house and can even sleep on the bed if they wish too! I believe they are part of the family so they get treated exactly like that here. Lots of cuddles, fuss and playtime are given
“As always, Tina was fantastic at looking after Bobbin. I received regular updates throughout the day, giving me peace of mind that he was being well looked after. He had a lovely day of walks, play time and cuddles 🥰 I would definitely recommend Tina to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter 😊”
“I would have no hesitation in recommending Melanie. She was very responsive with communications and ensured that she was aware of our dogs individual personalities and needs. We came home to a calm house and three happy dogs. Will definitely book with Melanie again.”
“I have booked Ying-Ying for a few walks, and for a weekend stay previously but this time was for nearly 2 weeks and to say I am happy with the service provided is an understatement. I was worried about leaving Scout for so long, but when I was away, I wasn't worried at all. I had daily updates, Ying-Ying was always very quick to respond if I wanted to check in and everything was great. Scout had a great time, and my home was left clean and tidy. Highly recommend, will be booking again. Super happy :) Thank you!”
“Georgia was a wonder! She kept my animals happy and well taken care of without any worries, my house was perfectly clean when I returned home from my holiday and she always kept me provided with pictures and updates. I would very much recommend her and use her services in the future. Thank you Georgia!”
“Just got home from 13 days away and Cerys done a wonderful job of taking care of my dogs even the one with anxiety loves her she kept us updated with how they was and even tried to learn our resident thief some manners 😂 thank you Cerys I will definitely book you again if your available I know you have uni have a good term xx”
“Benji was very well looked after by Jess. Felt very comfortable leaving him with them even though he's a big dog. Had regular pictures and updates and communication excellent. House was also left in good condition. Would highly recommend!”
“Hazel has been fantastic with our terrier, he has a lot of energy and can fixate on movement if not stimulated. She provided him with long engaging walks and ensured he was relaxed when returning home. She stayed over and ensured he was well taken care of.”
“We asked Isobel to house sit for a whole day with just a few days' notice. Isobel replied instantly confirming that she'd be happy to house sit for us. Isobel came for a meet and greet the following day and was polite and friendly. One of my dogs has not been too well and Isobel was very happy to take care of him. Isobel kept us updated all through the day with photos and messages, which was very reassuring. We came home to a tidy house and two very happy and excited dogs. I'd recommend Isobel and would definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have grown up with both cats and dogs throughout my life. My experience includes caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from giant Newfoundlands to miniature Jack Russell’s, so I am comfortable adapting to the individual needs of each pet. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your furry family members. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will treat your pets with the same care and attention that I give my own. I currently work part-time along side studying, but my schedule is very flexible as my bother and I manager our own shifts within our family business. With a little notice I can usually adjust my work schedule to accommodate pet sitting and dog walking bookings. I’m available all throughout the week and also the weekend. I have a commitment to running a theatre group 10am - 1pm on a Saturday. I am happy to discuss individual requirements and will always do my best to be flexible to suit both you and your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I believe it’s important to keep their routine as consistent as possible, I’ll follow any instructions provided regarding feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines to help your pet feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I understand each pet has their own personality and needs, whether that’s lots of exercise and play, plenty of cuddles and companionship or simply being calm and familiar presence. I’ll always make your pet’s wellbeing my priority and ensure they receive plenty of attention and care. I will also respect that I am a guest in your home and will treat your property with the upmost care, keeping everything clean, tidy and secure throughout my visit. I’ll happily provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well looked after.
About: I’ve had dogs around me for as long as I can remember and have always loved caring for them. I’ve had my own dog, Rufus, for the past 5 years and he truly is the centre of my world. I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs, from taking them on walks to looking after them while their owners are away. My boyfriend’s dog is diabetic and blind, so I also have experience caring for a dog with more complex needs and understand the importance of patience, routine and extra attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities, ages and needs, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love and attention I give my own. I currently work full time as a Teaching Assistant at a Trauma Informed School. As a result of this, I have availability on the weekends, the regular half terms and the 6 week break in the summer. I provide reliable care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I'll follow your pet's usual routines upon instruction of yourself, aswell as keeping your home tidy and ensuring the safety of your pet. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I understand that every pet is different, and I'll take the time to get to know their individual personality and needs.
About: I have lived with animals in and around my home since I was little, and sincerely believe that pets are as much a part of family as other people. I have experience within the pet retail industry, once working for a small independent local pet store, and have extensive knowledge on pet products and pet care. I have a natural friendship with pets, and having dog/ cat sat for family and friends have cemented myself as their pets best friend- And after many years still receive wagging tails and zoomies when I turn up at their house! Growing up my family dog was a very hungry and very friendly Chocolate Labrador named Mambo, who I delighted in giving copious walks, playtime, and treats. I currently live with my fiance and my cat son, Mister Pebbles, who is the lord of the house. He is seven years old but doesn't act like it, and requires daily medicine and a strict routine. While Mister Pebbles was my fiance's cat initially, I have over the years developed a strong father-son bond with him, and much to my fiances dismay may have become the favourite parent. I have access to my own vehicle, and can be flexible according to both you and your pets needs. I am currently unemployed, focusing much of my time on being a good house husband to my fiance. I intend on pursuing a PhD part-time in the new year, and I am excited to work my pet sitting duties around this. In the meantime I am fully flexible and available, own my own vehicle, and am able to fit my schedule around the needs of yourself and your pet. I am reliable, responsible, and communicative, and will endeavour to supply peace of mind throughout every step of our journey together. As both a pet owner and a homeowner, I fully understand how much anxiety can arise from trusting your home and pets with a new sitter. I am more than happy to field any and all questions you may have for me prior to you making your booking. Even if a quick chat with me would ease your mind, I am more than happy to accommodate!
About: I've had dogs since I was 6 years old! I grew up with my childhood dogs Dexter and Sasha. They were the loves of my life, I loved walking them, teaching them tricks (although Dexter was rather stubborn and would only perform for cheese), playing with them and cuddling up on the sofa with them. Unfortunately, Dexter had some health issues as he got older: arthritis, hip pain, blindness in his left eye and deafness. I was very thorough with his care, I was up to date with his meds as well as his other needs, such as hip exercises, ear and eye cleaning etc. I also made sure during this time that Sasha was just as well taken care of and given enough attention. I also have helped friends and family with their dogs e.g. walking, pet sitting, feeding. I am currently working part-time at Morrisons on the weekend, so I have a lot of free time during the week. I am available after 2pm on weekends. I am able to easily crate your pet/s, follow whatever routine you may have with your pets (trust me I can handle picky dogs).
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.

Hayley was excellent with Archie. I was nervous about leaving him but Hayley kept in touch with me throughout the day with photos and texts. Archie had the best time and was so well looked after. I would definitely recommend Hayley and I know Archie is looking forward to seeing her again.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Melanie. She was very responsive with communications and ensured that she was aware of our dogs individual personalities and needs. We came home to a calm house and three happy dogs. Will definitely book with Melanie again.
Rachel has been amazing! my girl has been showered in love and literally has been living her best life whilst staying with Rachel and her family. Great communication, easy to work with, and I felt very relaxed leaving my girl with Rachel, would 100% book again
Libby took great care of out Border Collie Maggie, at short notice after a previous arrangement fell through due to illness. Maggie is a typical BC, she can be anxious especially around people she doesn’t know. But thankfully she took to Libby straight away on their 1st meeting and was quickly bringing her toys to Libby. Libby took care of Maggie in our home for a week. She sent us daily updates/photos & videos which was reassuring to see. A few days before Libby started looking after Maggie she developed a urine infection and needed antibiotics and pain relief and Libby took over administering these. I would highly recommend Libby as a at home carer for your furry family member 🐾🐕
Tina is a delightful young lady and she was absolutely amazing! She house sat my rescue GS who is quite an anxious boy at times and he had a wonderful time with her! I had daily updates and photos of him, walks, playing and chilling with Tina. She also taught him new tricks, he’d never catch the ball for us! The house was perfectly looked after. Tina went over and above when our flight was cancelled until the next day, even though she was out she came back to stay an extra night to look after him. She eased my worries completely, I’d never hesitate to book Tina again, even my neighbour said she’d recommend her, they saw how good she was with Macsen. Thank you Tina 😊
Ieva looked after our Golden Retriever and cat so well. We were really nervous about leaving them with someone else, but she couldn’t have done a better job of putting our minds at ease. She kept us updated throughout our time away with honest, reassuring messages, which we really appreciated. Our dog can be reactive at times, so we’re usually quite anxious about letting other people walk him, but she handled him brilliantly and gave us complete confidence. She’s also a genuinely lovely person and really easy to chat to. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and will 100% be re-booking. Highly recommend!
Found Georgia a few weeks before I was going on holiday. Georgia is a gem of a find and absolute star. I was very nervous leaving my dogs I always am but having to find a sitter at short notice stress overload. Georgia was very understanding kept us updated by photos, videos and txt messages. We could tell the boys were fine by the interaction between them and the photos taken. Georgia was respectful and asked questions if she needed more information. Our home was clean and tidy Georgia even put out the bins for us. Our boys were so happy when we came back we knew they had a great time without us. Would def recommend and rebook again has completely put my mind to rest ty so much :) xx
We honestly couldn’t recommend Jodie enough! She went above and beyond for our dogs, even coming to meet them beforehand which made us feel so much more comfortable. During the visit she was amazing with Minnie, who can get really anxious and woofy, and she handled her so kindly and patiently. Charlie and Minnie absolutely loved having her, and it was such a relief knowing they were being looked after so well. She’s so lovely, easygoing and easy to chat to, and she made the whole thing feel completely stress-free. We’ll definitely be booking her again! 🐾✨
Oliwia is wonderful with my young adult Lab. She met us in advance and they were instantly comfortable with each other. She understood how to read him and made sure to ask about all the important details I would have forgetten to share! I had absolutely no worries leaving them together. Oliwia did a perfect job and i’ll definitely book her again :)

FAQs for House Sitting – Newport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Newport on Rover is £33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £28 and £47 per night.
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.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
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:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Newport walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
House sitting is priced per night and generally includes an overnight stay. In the city of Newport, the price of house sitting can vary between £28 and £47 per night.
Just make sure you and your sitter agree on the actual hours they'll stay in your home before you accept the booking. Each sitter has their own routine, and some might suit your schedule better than others. Keep your messages on the Rover app for future reference.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a 'home base' service. Most sitters in Newport 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!
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.
