“Ana is fantastic! My cat Izzy never comes down the stairs to anyone she doesn't know but Ana is the exception. I don't think my cats were happy that it was us that walked through the door instead of Ana when we got back. Highly recommend”
“Huge thanks to Steve for taking such great care of our puppy, Rolex. When we got home, Rolex was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after. Steve was calm, attentive, and provided truly top-class care. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Melanie cared for Mark twice a day when I was away. She sent a throughly updated Rover card about his care and sent lots of pictures. On return, our cat seemed happy and content. Melanie had good communication before and during the booking. I would use Melanie again.”
“Ieva was fantastic from first meeting, she didn't force herself on the cats. Really asked all about them and their habits and likes/dislikes so when she came to visit she could spend the time doing exactly what they liked. Would 100% recommend and rebook.”
About: I've had dogs all my life including rescues and more difficult dogs. Happy to walk them, play with them or just chill with them if they need some company! Experienced in administering medicine. I have a car and I'm happy to take dogs on fun walks to parks for better exercise. I lost my golden retriever back in November. Not yet ready for a new dog, but I live with my brother who owns a Dacshund who I often walk and play with. I want to spend time with animals because i lovw to be around them, no matter the size or breed. I work full time Monday to Friday so have availability on evenings amd weekends Happy to follow any rules in place regarding diet, exercise, medecines etc. I've looked after difficult dogs before that can't be around many people so I understand dealing with different pet personalities. Big or small, I'm happy with any dog or cat.
“Rachel was great! Followed instructions perfectly and I got lots of pics/videos of my cat on each visit. She was very respectful with the home , not a single thing was out of place. The meet and great prior to the booking really helped me feel at ease too. Thank you so much for your help with Suki ! <3”
“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.”
“Our cat sitter was lovely with my three cats—Thor, Athena, and Luna. Thor warmed up to her straight away, and she was so gentle and patient with the others too. You can really tell she loves animals and takes her time to make them feel safe. I feel so confident leaving them in her care. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of many animals, being trusted to feed, watch and walk them by family and friends during their time away. I am great at understanding a pets specific needs and can adjust my care to suit the needs of your pet. I am comfortable looking after pets both big and small and enjoy caring for them. I am currently a stay at home mum so can plan care around my partners shifts. I am available some weekends and weekdays dependent on what my partner is working but am happy to receive messages to see what I can arrange. I am able to drop in any time of day for however long dependent on the specific needs of your pet. I would be happy to take them for walks if needed and can adjust the length of walk depending on the size, age or breed of your fur baby :)
“Megan was perfect! Tommy and Nine loved her from the first minute and they were super comfortable with her visits. I had very detailed and constant updates. Definitely will book again if needed!”
“Harriet is a great sitter, always leaves us plenty of photos to see how Paprika’s doing and lets us know exactly what she’s been up to. Very friendly and easy to communicate with :)”
About: I have been professionally caring for animals for over 20 years. Horses, cats and dogs as well as the odd flock of chickens. I treat and care for them in your home as if they were my own so that you are free to enjoy your holiday! I currently work part time in Cardiff and generally know my hours 2 months in advance. I’m very happy to discuss individual needs with owners. Your pet will be treated as if they were my own. Individual needs can be catered for and I always try to keep the pet in the same routine they are used to.
About: I would love to get a dog of my own, but having just moved into my first house with my boyfriend, we have decided to prioritise the house first! Therefore, I would love to help other dog owners until we commit to a dog of our own. I have been a member on an app called BorrowMyDoggy, where I have committed to walking dogs on a regular basis since 2018. I enjoy it so much so have decided to reach out on here too and also offer house stays and boarding. I love staying active so going for walks with company would be amazing. I work full time as a nurse, doing three 12.5hr shifts per week. This means I have 4 days off a week to help look after your dog! My rota changes weekly but I get my shifts months in advance. My boyfriend’s work is very flexible as he can pick what days to work from home. I have a high fenced back garden to ensure the safety of your dog. I live right next to a field and a lake, but I drive so can take your dog to different locations.
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).
“Claudia was lovely l. She answered any questions I had and replied quickly to my messages. She sent regular photos and updates when visiting. My cat loved her. I would definitely use her again and would recommend. Thanks Claudia !”
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 however please feel free to message me to find out how I can schedule you and your pet/s in. I do have free time. 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.
“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: 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.

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
Rachel was great! Followed instructions perfectly and I got lots of pics/videos of my cat on each visit. She was very respectful with the home , not a single thing was out of place. The meet and great prior to the booking really helped me feel at ease too. Thank you so much for your help with Suki ! <3
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.
Tipsy loves her time with Ana, tipsy became comfortable with her very quickly, accepting fussies, treats and surprised us by going close to Ana! We would strongly recommend Ana, she had a good understanding of cats and their hilarious quirks, making sure to give Tipsy water by watering down a treat when it was noticed that Tipsy was not drinking.
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.
She was absolutely amazing! 🥰 She took such great care of my cats and really took the time to get to know them. She kept me updated by sending regular pictures, which was so reassuring while I was away, and she even watered my plants for me! 🌿🐱 She was so approachable, kind and reliable, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again! ❤️
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 of Pet Sitting in Newport on Rover is £14 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £10 and £20 per Visit.
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.

Yes. There are up to 3,066 pet sitters offering care in and around Newport. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.
Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.
Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.
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.
