Newport is a quiet part of Rock Hill with older homes, long driveways and a lot of settled, dog-loving households. We are the south end of our route, and we plan for it.
Pet care in Newport
Newport is a census-designated place in York County, South Carolina. Most of it has been annexed into the city of Rock Hill, though parts remain in unincorporated York County. It covers about eight square miles and had 4,744 residents in 2020, up about 15 percent since 2010. The median age is about 42, and nearly two in three households are married couples, which describes a lot of households with dogs, cats and busy schedules.
Newport is near the southern end of our service area. That is by design: it keeps us west of the lake and out of the I-85 and Charlotte-bound traffic that eats a sitter’s day. We plan visits here in blocks, so we recommend booking a standing weekly plan if you want the same time every week.
Rock Hill itself is a good place to walk a dog. The Piedmont Medical Center Trail follows the Catawba River on a shaded, paved path that the York County visitors bureau recommends for high-energy dogs, and downtown Rock Hill has grassy spots, shops that welcome dogs and a brewery known for its dog-friendly ice cream.
