“Janine always takes such good care of my crazy rescue dog. He doesn’t always like people but he absolutely LOVES Janine and gets so excited when he knows she’s coming.”
“Excellent !! Cannot recommend Teri enough. My dog looks forward to his walks with her every week. She has a great relationship with my Nero and I feel confident he’s in safe hands. He has some disabilities so finding someone we trust with his care is wonderful!”
“Meaghan was such a big help and I’ll definitely be requesting her again! She sent plenty of photos from the walk and refilled my dog’s bowl without me even asking. I definitely recommend her!”
About: I have always had pets growing up. I currently have three cats and four dogs. I have experience watching both cats and dogs and would love to watch your pets too! I am currently available most days of the week. I work part time nights at a restaurant. On the days I work I am still available to watch/walk your pets before and after my shift. I can watch your cats or dogs whenever I am needed. I have done lots of dog walking in the past and am comfortable with any kind of dog. I would be happy to play with your dogs outside, take them for walks, and even just keep them company.
“Nicole was awesome. She kept me updated on all the walks and sent me pictures. When Bridget hadn’t eaten one day she let me know right away. I highly recommend Nicole to watch, walk and feed your dog.”
About: I grew up with cats and medium and large dogs (along with other smaller critters), regularly took care of neighborhood dogs (overnight stays and walks), and I still take care of my parent’s 95 lb dog and cat when they’re out of town. I travel occasionally for work and personal reasons so haven’t yet committed to having my own pet (yet!). I love having a dog companion on my regular walks/hikes. I have a hybrid work arrangement where I’m part time in the office in Newburyport and part time at home in Amesbury. My schedule varies based on work/personal travel schedule and can be pretty flexible depending on the day when I’m at home. I’m happy to take dogs for walks near your home as needed (as short or as long of a walk as you’d like) and also happy to stay overnight to take care of pets.
About: Hello! I have been caring for pets since I was a child. I have always had my own cats, dogs, rabbits, and even a hamster. I have a love and passion for caring for animals, so much so that I received my Bachelors Degree in Veterinary Sciences! I have experience working with all types of pets and I enjoy taking care of your fur babies <3. I can easily fit pet care into my schedule. I am a stay at home mom and enjoy spending time caring for animals 🫶🏼. I am available whenever you need me! I have a fenced in yard and would treat your pets with love, as if they were my own. I know how important our pets are to us, and I take animal care very seriously. I can't wait to shower your pet with extra love and hugs while you're away!
“Robyn was absolutely fantastic. Artie is my first puppy and this was my first time using a service like this, so I was a bit nervous! But based on other reviews of her, I had high expectations and she more than met them! I can tell she really loves dogs and followed my notes perfectly. Highly recommend!”
“Nikki was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond caring for my dog Enzo—even bringing him homemade treats. He usually takes a long time to warm up to new sitters, but he bonded with Nikki right away. She's always on time and was great at communicating throughout, including providing great photos from each visit. I highly recommend booking her!”
“Maggie was great! Sent a message when she got here. Took Dorothy on a nice walk. Let me know when she dropped her off. And took pics of Dorothy on the walk. Will be contacting her again!”
About: Donna and I started taking care of dogs when we lost our Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Dutchin. We got her when she was 3 months old and she was our baby. When she crossed the Rainbow Bridge, we couldn't bring ourselves to get another dog, but wanted to still experience the joy that dogs bring to our lives. We decided to provide both care and a safe, loving home for other people's pets while their humans are away or otherwise unable to care for them short-term. This way, we can give you peace of mind in knowing your best friend is safe and happy, and we get to interact with all kinds of dogs, which gives us great joy! Your friend will get all the love and attention you give them; and, well, if we spoil them a bit too much, sorry (not sorry)! We are both retired, so we have plenty of time to care for your pets whether in our home or yours. We are available for walks, drop in visits and overnight boarding in our home. When boarding with us, your fur baby will never be alone as someone is always home. We have a large fenced-in yard where your dog can run and play off leash safely. Are your pets used to making themselves at home on the couch? Not a problem! They are more than welcome to snuggle up on ours. If you wish to make your pet a little more at home, you may bring your pet's bed, toys and/or crate.
About: I have had pets of all kinds my entire life, to which I have been trusted to take care of them. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends, though most of my pet experience has come from my personal pets. My dad is also a K9 officer and dog trainer, which has given me a lot of experience being around big dogs and seeing how to take care of dogs. I am currently on summer break from college, so I have a lot of time on my hands to spend with furry friends! I don’t have any significant schedule barriers at the moment! I can easily follow and meet any specific needs of your home or pets. I have experience caring for all kinds of pets, including those with special needs, so I can absolutely cater my care to any individual pet!
About: Excited to return to Rover! I've owned and surrounded myself with dogs (and other pets) my entire life and love it! My pups are my best friends and adventure buddies. Friends and family often call on me to help care for and train their canine friends or for advice because of my experience from working with various temperaments and behaviors. I also used to foster dogs and plan to return to that at some point. I love all breeds, ages, and sizes and find they all have unique personalities, just like people! I provide much love and attention, but know when to be a stern pack leader to keep everyone safe and in check! I use positive reinforcement and correction/redirection over discipline and I believe more exercise and encouragement can make most dogs a "good dog." Dogs tend to love me and are responsive to my leadership style. I currently work per diem and part-time so my schedule is often flexible and I love to fill my down time with furry friends I find the most critical care to be love, pats & praise, and structure & consistency. When it comes to others’ pets, I want to provide individualized care that is consistent with their daily life, so I try to incorporate owners’ standards and parenting styles. I recognize consistency is key to communicate with dogs and reduce their stress. Let me know how to accommodate you and your pet.
About: I've been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, and these days I'm often the person friends and family call when they need someone to look after their pets. I've spent plenty of time walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they're well cared for while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including larger, high-energy breeds. I enjoy getting to know each animal's personality and building trust with them. I've even trained my own cats to do tricks and respond to commands using positive reinforcement. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I take the responsibility seriously because I know how much people's pets mean to them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. Outside of work, taking care of animals has always been a regular part of my life, whether that's spending time with my own pets or helping friends and family with theirs. Because I work a consistent schedule and plan my time carefully, I can be reliable and punctual when it comes to pet care. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so it's something I genuinely look forward to rather than trying to squeeze into a busy schedule. I try to keep things as close to the pet's normal routine as possible. When I'm caring for a pet in their home, I follow the owner's instructions and make sure they're getting everything they need, whether that's walks, meals, playtime, medications, or just some company while their owner is away. I pay attention to each animal's personality and body language and adjust my approach accordingly. Some pets want lots of attention and activity, while others are happier with a quieter approach and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with both. Safety is always important to me. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I keep an eye out for anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is to make sure pets are comfortable, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I make sure that I'm always available, and communication is a huge priority for me

Eleanor was great. She took care of our Pepper for one day, giving her two walks and feeding her when she came by for the second walk. Very responsible and easy to communicate with. She found a tick on Pepper and removed it for us. Highly recommended to other dog owners.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Newburyport on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,065 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Newburyport. 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 your Newburyport. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Newburyport.

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 Newburyport. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
