“Tess just took my boy Banjo on a 3 mile hike in the middle of the of a surprise monsoon. She’s an absolute pro and I will be booking Banjo with her for many walks in the future. 🫡”
“Megan has taken good care of our older pup who has a lot of quirks and particular needs. She communicates well, shows up promptly, and has patience when walking with our 17 year old girl.”
“Bethany did an amazing job with our dog Lily. She gave plenty of updates, pictures,and lots of care! She even went above and beyond and brought in some flowers for us and brought in our trash cans while we were away. We cannot thank you enough for your help this week! I would gladly trust Bethany again. 💖”
About: Hi! My name is Claire, and I’m someone who has always had dogs growing up — they’ve been a huge part of my life. Now that I’m in school, I really miss having a dog of my own, but I know I don’t currently have the time to fully raise one. That’s actually what drew me to Rover: I get to spend time caring for and loving dogs while also helping owners in my community feel confident their pets are in good hands. I genuinely love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I take caring for them seriously. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them attention and comfort, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Being in school has taught me how to manage my time responsibly, and pet care is something I truly enjoy rather than see as a chore. I would love the opportunity to help care for your dog (or cat!) and give them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m currently in school and have a flexible schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting during weekdays and weekends, and I make sure pets receive consistent attention, playtime, and care throughout the day! I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions, keep environments clean and secure, and make sure each pet feels calm, loved, and well cared for.
“Jillian has been walking my quirky and sometimes shy greyhound regularly for a couple months now and she is the absolute best. On time, thorough, understanding, flexible, competent, communicative, knowledgeable. I don’t trust my dog to everyone, but I feel 10000% confident that she’s in good hands with Jillian on their walks!”
“Jared was absolutely wonderful with Josie. He is far more than a dog walker. He is gets to know your dog and provide such affection! I highly recommend Jared and intend on asking him for help again.”
“Courtney was awesome with my shiba inu, despite her being a difficult dog. Her patience and kindness allowed her to build trust with my dog. She was prompt and provided a very detailed summary. Definitely recommend to anyone and will definitely book again!!”
“I have three dogs with different needs because of age and temperament. I was most worried about my small, shy dog, but he took a treat from Karen on the first meeting!”
About: I grew up with five cats and one dog, and have helped pet sit friends’ dogs. I am very comfortable playing, feeding, going on walks, cleaning litter boxes, etc. I now have my own tripod cat as well, so I have also learned a lot about caring for pets with different needs! I will be working part time, and not taking classes this summer semester. So I will have plenty of time to stop by throughout the week. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and stick to their usual routine. I am very careful on checking that doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I follow all instructions closely and keep owners regularly updated!
About: I have had three dogs of my own - Bear, Snickers, and Annie! I loved each one of them so much and gave them the world. Now, let me give the world to yours when we get to have adventures together on walks, at parks, and at home with lots of pet cuddle time! I am a graduate student but make plenty of time to hang out with your pets during the day and in the evenings! I give daily walks and lots of play time and cuddle time each day we spend together! I normally dog sit at the persons home while I am caring for their pets. I find that this allows the pets to feel most comfortable and have the best experience while their families are away.
“Alex was wonderful! My dogs trusted him immediately and looked very happy on the photos. He was very responsive, responsable and kept me updated every day. I’m so grateful with him. I highly recommend his job. 100%. Thank u Alex !!”
About: I have over 30 years of experience caring for animals and truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, or simply lots of love and attention, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️ My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to make pet care a priority. I’m currently not working, so I’m available throughout the day and can often accommodate same-day or last-minute requests. I’m open to daily or weekly care and have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and lots of love and attention. I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending my day caring for them! I treat every pet as if they were my own, with safety, patience, and lots of love. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs. I also treat my clients’ homes with the same care and respect I would want for my own. At my home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised outdoor time, walks, and playtime, with nearby parks for extra exercise and adventure.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Newport is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
Tess was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time booking with her, and she made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. She arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure Lola was comfortable with her and to go over her specific care instructions. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. She was great with Lola and also a pleasure to communicate and work with. I would definitely book with Tess again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter!
Have left previous reviews but will continue to emphasize that Alison has been wonderful to work with. She’s very reliable and responsive when we have questions. We’re very appreciate for the reliable help with our young puppy so she doesn’t have to be crated for long periods of time while we’re both at work and before she’s eligible for doggy daycare.
Mel is amazing with our dog Poppy! She took Poppy on multiple walks and even played with her in the house when it was raining too hard for our dog to be comfortable outside. She is very responsive and followed Poppy’s routine perfectly. Couldn’t be more happy to have booked with Mel!
Jared has been absolutely fantastic with our dogs! From day one, he's been incredibly communicative, reliable, and prompt, which gives us complete peace of mind. Our dogs absolutely adore him and are always excited for their walks and adventures together. It's clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with and knows how to keep them happy, safe, and well cared for. We trust him completely and feel so lucky to have found him. If you're looking for someone dependable, trustworthy, and great with dogs, we highly recommend Jared! 🐾
Kerry is so great with my dogs! I can always tell they've had a good time while I was gone even if they missed me. She's very attentive to details with my older guy and always tries to give them a great walk even when the weather isn't very nice out. Love knowing I can trust her with their care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Newport on Rover is $18.19 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 2,178 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Newport. 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 Newport. 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 Newport.

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 Newport. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
