“Samantha has been wonderful to have as juice’s “as needed” dog walker. She is always on time, very communicative, and enjoys actually spending some time with juice and our cat Luca. I highly recommend Samantha for all of your dog (or cat) sitting needs!!”
“James has such a calm presence and patient nature which works so well with our rescue mini poodle. He's made so much progress with our dog Ziggy who doesn't warm up easily. We're so grateful to have a trusted and kind caretaker for our nervous pup when we're away. James also has great communication and is very reliable. I highly recommend him!”
“Courtney was wonderful! She was prompt and communicative. She was very considerate of my requests including Blue's hurt toe- so she took Blue on a shorter gentle walk and then gave her some fun time in the yard. I will definitely reach out to Courtney again!”
“Tati is great! She is very communicative throughout the whole process and answers quickly. She makes sure my dog is happy and comfortable on their walks. My dog loves her!”
“Willow is a little hesitant with new people but Patrick took the time to gain her trust. I appreciate the photos and updates after each visit and he was on board with all of willows needs!”
“Jennifer was very attentive to Leia which is exactly what she needs after moving to a new area. I feel so relieved that I now know someone that, when I have a long work day, can stop in and take care of my pup with a walk and a hug halfway through the day. Thank you!!”
About: I have had a variety of animals all my life and currently have a cat and dog! I’m a fast walker, and used to dogs that pull on the leash. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time throughout the day to care for animals. I am a very outdoorsy person, so we are always outside with our hound, Pippin. I have a small fenced in yard, a young playful dog with LOADS of energy, and a convenient walking trail seconds from my back door!

“Autumn was great. She took great care of Ivy and I definitely recommend her as a walker/sitter. She made sure Ivy went to the bathroom and had plenty of water and cooled down after her short walk in the summer heat!”
“Owen came to walk our big Shepsky while we were out of town. My dog loved him! Owen was reliable, friendly, and clearly really good with dogs. We will definitely use him again in the future! Thank you from Timber and us!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Newington on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,454 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Newington. 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 Newington. 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 Newington.

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 Newington. On Rover:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
