About: I’ve been working with and caring for animals my entire life. My experience includes working as a vet tech, groomer, trap & release, spay & nueter programs, pet sitting, dog walking, animal transport, rescue and fostering. I am also comforable with administering medications and working with all personality traits. I understand the pack dynamic and am not intimidated when handling multiple pet type homes and dogs of all sizes. I am patient and animals respond well to my calm and confident nature. I work full time through out the school year and part time during the summer and can easily adjust my work schedule to accommodate drop in visits and dog walking services. Visiting pets can be crated if needed or gated in their own room while I am away from home. While I am home they will be free to roam the house and enjoy outside time safely in my fenced in yard.

About: Lifelong Animal Lover | 13+ Years Experience | Trusted, Loving, Down-to-Earth Care (As a heads up, my pricing per night for pet/house sitting covers two pets ($86/night 2 pets & house sitting) if you have more than two pets, you can add them via the add on option here on rover for an additional $15/night per pet.) Hi! I’m Victoria and I am a lifelong animal lover with over a decade of experience caring for pets and keeping homes clean, safe, and peaceful. I’m based in Wakefield, Rhode Island, where I also run my own cleaning business, so I know how to keep things tidy and tail-wagging happy. I’ve worked in a doggy daycare and grooming shop, have volunteered with horses, and have experience with everything from puppies and senior pets to special needs animals and even reptiles. I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether I’m house sitting, walking your pup, or dropping in to check on your pets, I bring love, patience, and a calm, grounded energy. I’m gentle but firm, the worst your pup might ever hear from me is my “big girl voice” (loving, but clear). My job is to keep your pet healthy, happy and safe. I’m also great at reading animal behavior, administering meds, and handling routines with care. I currently share my home with three sweet cats, and I totally understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I'm here to give you peace of mind while you're away, and to make sure your pets feel safe, seen, and cared for. Let me know if you have any questions or want to set up a meet & greet. I’d love to meet your furry (or scaly!) family! As a heads up, my pricing per night for pet/house sitting covers two pets ($86/night 2 pets & house sitting) if you have more than two pets, you can add them via the add on option here on rover for an additional $15/night per pet. I currently work a per diem position and run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs. Whether you need early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or overnight care, I’m happy to work with your routine and create a plan that works best for you and your furry family. Just send me a message with your ideal times, and I’ll do my best to make it happen, your pet’s comfort and consistency come first! Of course, for the best opportunity for scheduling, please make sure you schedule in advance according to the selected service. Thanks! Your pets safety is top priority for me. I care deeply for all animals and find that love, patience and understanding is the best approach with all pets.

“Belle is lovely! She is so kind, gentle, and patient with our energetic puppy, and has gone above and beyond, even bringing in packages. She has taken him on walks in the rainy, cold weather, which is so appreciated as the exercise is so important for our fur baby even during icky days! Definitely recommend!”

About: I've had at least one dog in my house since I was in first grade. My first dog is no longer with us however, I currently have a 9-year-old black lab and a 7-month-old silver lab. My dogs love to go on hiking trails, and with your permission, I can also take your dog to new locations. I unfortunately don't have experience with other people's dogs except for friends and family. I'm currently working part-time, so I'm very flexible with times. I will put my dogs' needs first, however, making sure I have time to give them the exercise and attention they deserve. My dogs are my best friends. I always show love and respect towards them. I also understand how a dog's life can be boring sometimes. Giving them a new environment to sniff out creates a happy and exhausted pup. I try to take my older dog on a new walk/hike every week to give them an adventure and something to look forward to. I'm hoping to provide the same for your dogs. I am also a runner, so I wouldn't mind running alongside your dog. Walking/hiking/running, whatever you prefer.

About: Hi, I’m Reagan! I’m a dog trainer based in Newport with nine years of professional pet care experience, and I’ve been around dogs quite literally since birth. My own dog, Wrecker, is a Malinois mix, so if your dog is strong on leash, has very big feelings about squirrels, or needs a little extra room when another dog passes, I’m more than comfortable with that! I work with dogs of all ages, breeds, and energy levels, from puppies figuring out the leash to seniors who like to read every tree on the block. I’ll give a shy dog time to warm up, and I’m just as happy spending time with an easygoing dog who wants a good sniff and some company. In other words, dog? Yes, please. On walks, I’ll use the cues your dog already knows and choose a route and pace that suit them. For drop-ins, I’ll stick to their usual routine, whether that’s dinner and a potty break or a game of fetch. When I house sit, I’ll keep the little things familiar, right down to how your dog settles in at night. I work part-time and plan my week ahead, so we’ll talk through the timing and how much company your dog needs before we book. I’ll send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. Dog care is already part of my everyday routine. I work part-time and plan my week ahead, so I’m happy to set up regular walks or drop-ins and take one-time bookings when I have room. Tell me what timing works best for your dog, especially if they have a set mealtime or potty schedule. For house sitting, we’ll talk through when I’ll be there and any time I’d need to step out before we book. I know how much trust it takes to hand someone your keys and your dog’s leash. I’ll check that their gear is secure before we head out, give them space around distractions when they need it, and double-check that your home is locked when I leave. I’m easy to reach through Rover, and I’ll ask what kind of updates you like, whether that’s a quick check-in or a few photos and videos. If your dog seems off or something unexpected comes up, I’ll reach out promptly. You’ll also get a route map in your Rover Card after walks. If you use a pet camera in a common area, I’m comfortable with that. Just give me a heads-up before we book.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and have experience both independently and through a professional dog walking company. I grew up with two dogs of my own and have cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, caring for puppies and senior dogs, and following detailed care instructions. Whether your pup needs a long walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently work part-time only two days a week, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays whenever possible. Since I only work a couple of days each week, I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, daycare, boarding, or overnight care, I’ll make sure they receive the love, exercise, and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, potty breaks, exercise needs, and any special requests you have. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a calm, loving environment. I’ll keep you updated with lots of photos and messages throughout the day so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Warwick, RI, 02886

About: What really sets me apart is my extensive expertise at both ends of the pet spectrum. I expertly train and socialize energetic young puppies – housebreaking, basic commands, leash manners, and building confidence without stress. For senior pets I deliver compassionate, specialized care that keeps them comfortable and thriving, with gentle routines for arthritis, medication reminders (oral or as prescribed), soft exercise, and calm, loving environments that reduce anxiety for our golden oldies. I treat every animal exactly like my own – tailoring walks, play, meals, and snuggles to their unique needs. You’ll receive daily photo/video updates and detailed reports so you never worry. Pet parents in Warwick and Providence consistently tell me my patience, reliability, and extra touches (like extra play sessions or favorite toys) make all the difference. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, dog walk, or longer sit, your furry family gets personalized, experienced care from a true partner who loves what they do. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me the perfect flexibility to fit pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups, take extra walks, provide enrichment, and give each pet the one-on-one attention they deserve without ever feeling rushed. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm, plus drop-ins or walks during those hours so your pets stay happy and on schedule every single day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a stress-free environment whether caring in my home or yours. For boarding in my home I provide a safe, secure space with supervised play and rest areas. I can crate if needed, supervise free time in secure spaces, and follow your exact feeding/walking routines. For walks or drop-ins in your home, I use your supplies, stick strictly to your schedule, keep everything clean and locked, and treat your space with total respect. I’m background-checked, Rover-insured, and always send real-time photo/video updates so you never worry.

About: I've cared for cats, dogs, mini ponies, horses, chickens, cows, mini pigs, pot-bellied pigs, and tortoises after living on a working ranch with a wide range of animals. There isn’t a fur baby too small or too big that I can’t handle. I have an open schedule and can work with any routines. I can be up early or out late. And I can keep to any personal schedule your fur babies have. I have indoor kennels and outdoor kennels, multiple leashes and harnesses, and a large property to run around on. My house is extremely pet-friendly; snuggles on the couch are encouraged!

“Bittersweet - Emma was super sweet and we wish her the best building her business. It wasn't a good fit for our family - she minimized feedback offered about dog care-related decision making (based in valid and evidence based concerns about safety). Immediately after the first walk and subsequent discussion, she declined to work with us further. We are bummed, because our pup connected with her quickly.”

I’m hiring Mike as often as possible! He sent pictures and videos of my 8month chocolate lab. He took him on trails and allowed him to swim in our pond. He contacted me and reported on how the puppy was doing and what he did with him. Mike is highly responsible, professional, courteous, and just wonderful with my big baby. I give him my highest recommendation!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Charlestown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Charlestown is $18 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

As of November 2026, there are 1,236 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Charlestown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Charlestown. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Charlestown after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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 walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Charlestown. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have 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 are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 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 reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
