“Steve did a great job, straight away could tell he’d be a safe and caring pair of hands. I really appreciated doing a meet and greet in advance. I felt really confident leaving them together and have already booked Steve again :) I know Rudy will be really happy!”
“Looked after my three dogs for a week and when I came home I think they were a little disappointed!! Gave me lovely updates whilst I was away and managed my cantankerous bulldog being a bully brilliantly. Thank you.”
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!
“It was my first time using Rover and Hannah was absolutely brilliant. My dogs seem to be so happy and relaxed, communication was great. Would 100% recommend and use Hannah again.”
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
“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! 💕”
“We had a great experience with Tina. Despite my last-minute request, she took the time to come over beforehand to meet Bobbin and learn about his behaviour, routine, and care needs. Throughout the day, Tina sent regular updates and photos, which was really reassuring. It was lovely to see that Bobbin was having so much fun with her and getting plenty of cuddles and attention. He clearly had a wonderful day and was very happy and relaxed in her care. Tina was kind, professional, and attentive, following all of Bobbin's care instructions and taking great care of my home as well. I felt completely confident leaving him with her. I wouldn't hesitate to book Tina again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and 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”
“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!”
“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”
“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!”
About: I offer services tailored to your pets routine to make sure they stay happy & comfortable whilst you’re away, and will keep you updated each day with what they are up to! Having worked in the animal welfare and veterinary industry (and experience with my own pets) I am confident in administering medications and understanding the complex needs that your furry companions may have. Each animal is different and it’s really important they receive care tailored to them and their personalities.

I offer drop-ins, overnight stays and dog walks full time, whenever you need a helping hand with your much loved furry family members, I am there to support you! I am not currently accepting homeboarding, however with all of my visits regardless the length, I adapt my routine to what your pets needs are and how best I can serve them. Whether its a hands-off approach or they love to be fussed, I work with you and your pet to provide the care and routine they are used to ☀️
“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.”
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.
“Would absolutely recommend Sam’s services to anyone. She was incredibly friendly to us and our puppy and he had the best time at her house playing with her dogs. We were sent pictures and videos while we were away. Will definitely be using Sam again!”
“Cody was amazing!! We have 3 cats and a large dog(GSP). This wasn’t a problem for Cody. She took him on plenty of walk and gave us lots of updates while we we on holiday to give us peace of mind. We came back to our house exactly how we left it. I can’t give her enough praise.”

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!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 1,983 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.
