“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.”

“Gleaming! Really happy that Ieva was able to step in and help us out last minute. She was really great with Doug and gave him ample enrichment and care during the hottest days of the year. She ensured that he was walked near rivers and gave him lots of frozen treats to try and beat the heat!”

“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 😊”

“The first time Ying-Ying has met Bowie and sat for the evening and I am very happy and comfortable letting her look after him. Lovely young lady, very friendly and made a big effort to gain Bowie's trust and took great care of him. Ying-Ying also kept in touch letting me know how Bowie was getting on, sending photos and videos. I would definitely recommend x”

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.

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!
“Krisztina is a fantastic dog sitter. She recently looked after our six year old staffy, Bobbin and we were so pleased with her services. Krisztina came to the house beforehand to meet Bobbin and he took to her straight away. Bobbin suffers from separation anxiety and is nervous of other dogs, so we always need to ensure our dog sitters can cater to his needs and ensure he is happy and relaxed. Krisztina listened carefully when we explained his usual routine and behaviour, and she was very attentive during the sit. Krisztina sent regular updates and pictures throughout the day and Bobbin had a wonderful time with her! She was also extremely friendly and professional throughout the whole process. I would definitely use Krisztina again and would recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter.”

“Lula was amazing with Rocky, she asked many questions about his routine and what he likes and took such an interest in him. While looking after him we had many updates of him being so happy and well looked after it really gave peace of mind. Would 100% recommend and will be booking again in future!”

I have experience in home sitting and dog walking for friends and family I will be providing all services whilst I am back home from uni. As I am back from uni I will be at home at all times.

About: I have had pets growing up and 14 years experience with dogs. Our dog was a very playful and excited puppy, he grew to be a very large dog so I am experienced with all sizes. I have experience with senior dogs and understand how different it is taking them for a walk compared to a younger dog with lots of energy. I currently work part time so have lots of spare time for walking and looking after dogs. This is the first period of time we haven’t had a pet in 14 years so I have all the time for other dogs now. Over the last few years I’ve also walked my friends dogs when they’ve been away and family dogs when they haven’t been able to. I care for dogs walking them, playing with them ensuring they are happy. I won’t walk dogs in extreme heat as this is not safe for them. Ensure they always have access to water

“Kathryn was great! We had a call before hand just to go over what she was getting herself in for and she was perfectly happy! Showed up on time on the morning and kept our pup entertained throughout a very long day! We were nervous of him being a little boisterous as he's not the smallest of puppies but she took it on her atride. We got updates with images throughout the day and came back to a very happy pup. Would deffo use again!”

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!
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 😊

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 for House Sitting in Newport on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,957 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newport. Enter your postcode 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:
- 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.
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.
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 .
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 choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
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 vet. 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 authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
