House Sitting in Newport

I’m so grateful to Chris for taking such great care of Simba, my timid labradoodle. Simba is a rescue and usually very shy around people, but thanks to Chris’s gentle and patient approach, he opened up after just a couple of days. Chris followed his routine closely, which made a big difference, and kept me updated daily with quick and clear communication. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!

Rebecca was the kindest sitter to my fur babies. My now husband and I recently moved and needed a reliable person to watch our fur babies as we got married and went on our honeymoon for a week and a half. *Enter Rebecca*, she was detail oriented, friendly, and most of all passionate about animals. Thank you so much for keeping our minds at ease during while we were away!

Taking a chance on trying out a new sitter for you pets can be a daunting task especially when one of your pets is a 95lb retired racer greyhound that wasn't fortunate enough to grow up in a loving home and just be a dog. GL's Hidden Icon aka IKE knew he had a friend in Dylan almost immediately. Dylan took great care of both our boys and we will absolutely book him again.

Jenni and Matt were great to our two fur babies! It was one of our first times away and we were a little hesitant to leave the pups behind. Jenni and Matt communicated very frequently and sent lots of photos. It allowed us to enjoy vacation so much more as a result. Our neighbors also had very positive things to say and commented on how attentive both Jenni and Matt were to our dogs. I highly recommend and thank them both for such a positive experience. Will definitely be booking again next time we go away!

Nina was communicative leading up to and throughout the process. She took wonderful care of my dog, sent some photos, and followed all instructions to the letter. Highly recommend!

We barely missed out on booking Michaela in 2024 when someone managed to reserve her just before we did. When the other sitter we had used 2x advised she would no longer be booking with Rover, we immediately searched for and reached out to Michaela for our Oct 2025 trip. During our first meeting with Michaela we were immediately impressed by her preparation questions. She clearly knew the right things to ask about our Mikhail and the house. We found Michaela to be very friendly and professional. While some folks may be just good sitters on Rover, finding one who treats this as though it were a true personal business is big. We all came away agreeing that we felt very confident in booking her. During our vacation, Michaela provided frequent detailed updates complete with photos. By the time we came home, there was no evidence that anyone had even stayed there. Michaela's reviews speak for themselves, so I'm just one voice here, but rest assured that you are considering a complete professional who will love and care for your pet and home as if they were her own. We feel great knowing that we can count on booking her again!

As always, great communication and updates. We came home and our dog was relaxed and house was left as we found it. Olivia takes the best photos of our dog too!

Shanisa was amazing with our mini goldendoodle! She provided a ton of picture and video updates, was super responsive to all of our chats, and treated our baby like she was her own - to the point where our pup looked so sad when she left! They went on car rides and walks, and Shanisa gave Mav all the cuddles she wanted. I am admittedly a helicopter pup mom, and I felt super confident with Shanisa taking care of our baby, and will 100% book with her again! Thank you, Shanisa!!

Renee was excellent! She provided great care during our vacation. I don’t think our animals even noticed we were gone! She provided great daily communication and photos. I’m looking forward to many repeat bookings with Renee!

Terry took wonderful care of our dog and cat for an extended in-home stay. She provided updates on our anxious dog and was very patient with him. We’ll definitely book with her again!

Heather’s so nice and great at communicating! She took good care of our boys and home!

We loved Rachel. We have a new puppy and she’s usually skittish around new people. Sage had Rachel rubbing her belly in no time. Will definitely work with her again. Rachel also provided care for our two cats while we were away for the week.

We would absolutely use Sarah again. She was so kind and compassionate. You could tell she really enjoyed taking care of our cat. She sent us plenty of pictures and videos while keeping us updated. She stayed overnight and kept the house clean. Wouldn't hesitate to use Sarah again!

Marie was great with my two dogs! She took them for walks and fed them as requested. She was on time. And she had an amazing calming affect on my two-year-old Australian Shepherd. She gave me a great peace of mind while being gone for a long day.

I would give more stars if I could! Reid was great, my 2 dogs took to him very quickly. Enjoyed the updates and photos he sent us while we were away. I would not hesitate to use Reid’s services anytime in the future.

Heather took such great care of my English bulldog, Maggie! She has a very strict feeding schedule and she gets nightly meds so there’s a lot to stay on top of. Heather took care of everything. She sent plenty of updates and photos. She also took great care of our house. We will definitely be using heathers services again

Nina is amazing! She has great skills to interact with our dogs who are a work in progress- she helped them learn basic commands as well as shared ideas with us for how we can carry over and continue building their skills. Nina is very responsive to messages and sent a cute photo update :). Nina reads the dog’s personality and adjusts accordingly. Nina is very polite and kept our house clean throughout the stay! Highly recommend!!!!! We have a 6 month pit mix and 8 month Great Dane- they loved her!!!!
