About: I have a family dog, and I have loved growing up with her. They are wonderful companions. I have been pet sitting for a family for over 3 years now, and I would love to do more! I am working part-time, so I have plenty of time to hang out and help with pets! Most weekdays/weekends, I am free for your pet needs. I go back to school August 20th, but am available till then! I am good at working with both cats and dogs of any size. Just let me know if there is anything specific I need to do!

Erin was a life saver this week! With my husband out of town for a week and me with my hands full with a three year old and baby, getting out to walk our energetic and LOUD husky was going to be a challenge. Erin was always right on time and such a great communicator. I liked and trusted her immediately and Aurora Dog warmed up to her right away as well. She started waiting at the door for her in the morning. Thank you so much Erin!

About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by dogs and cats. Over the years, I've cared for everything from senior dogs needing daily medication to shy kittens just learning to trust. Each animal has their own personality and needs, and I take pride in offering patient, loving, and attentive care that makes both pets and their owners feel safe and comfortable. For me, pet care isn’t just a job—it’s a genuine passion. I am a teacher so I have ample time to care for your pet during the summer months. I can be flexible with days and times! Caring for pets in your home involves responsibility, trust, and professionalism. I think it is important to meet ahead of time, get instructions in writing and clarify any important questions.

Kristine does a great job with my dog. He can be stubborn or get scared on walks and want to go home. If that is the case she will stay and play with him in the backyard. But she also gets creative and communicates with me on strategies to get him to walk and it has worked. Overall great communication and very timely. Would recommend her to walk or care for your dog.

About: I have had pets my whole life and have such an unconditional love for animals. I had 2 sphynx that I cared for and loved like my children. July, 2019 my female sphynx went into heart failure. After being told she would likely not make it, I was devastated. I refused to stop fighting for her. As she spent 6 days in ICU,she fought so hard and it was a blessing that I was able to bring her home. Filled with excitement about her coming home also came fear. I was given a bag of medication I was responsible to dispense and I have never done that before. I also had her litter brother that I immediately got tested for heart disease and it came back positive and was placed on preventative medication. For the last 11 months I have been a cat mom and a caregiver to every need. Administering medication 2x or more daily, strict diets, schedules and multiple appointments. Unfortunately my baby girl crossed the rainbow bridge on Aug 1, 2019 and my sweet boy, May 4,2020. I remember how thankful I was to come to this site and search for people that were willing to help care for and love my cats. The peace of mind I was given to have someone care for them was a blessing. I never left them alone. Whether I was grocery shopping or going to work, someone was always caring for them. They were both given clean bills of health their whole life, they were given top of the line food and bathed weekly. I didn't miss a step to loving and caring for them. I provided and received such unconditional love. Knowing that no matter what I did, their HCM was silent, deadly and incurable. I would be honored to be able to provided a loving atmosphere for someones pet, as I grieve the loss of mine. I have administered medications , but do not have special training in it. I grew up around dogs and know getting their daily exercise is very important to their health. My husband and I just relocated to Michican, so my schedule is currently pretty flexible. We share the responsibilities of pet care and hope to help local families with pet responsibilities. I provide childcare for my niece so my availability is pretty open. Please message me with any questions about availability. My husband and I have a fur family of our own. We do everything we can to provide a comfortable life for them and shower them with love daily. Our pup is new to our family, so socializing him and training him for any and all life situations is our top priority. Educating him how to be with other dogs is very important to us.

About: In addition to growing up on a farm with dogs and many animals, I have had many years of experience not only watching but working with all kinds of animals. I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility for 2 years and I have animal sat (dogs, puppies, cats, farm animals, etc) for family and friends and have become their go to sitter! As a student during the summer, I have an open schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care, including walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention while respecting your home and keeping you updated with photos and messages. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of trustworthy, loving care, and treat every pet like family.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs all my life, from big to small dogs, old and young, even disabled dogs. Taking them on walks has always been a cherished memory of mine. Plus I work at starbucks giving out pup cups for the cute dogs on a daily!! 😊☕️🐾 I work as a shift supervisor at starbucks. My schedule is given to me 3 weeks in advance, my shift times varying throughout the week. I’ve been working more in the morning recently with some closing shifts (ex: 3-8:30pm) sprinkled in there. I can always make time to walk some pup though! Although I don’t have any dogs myself anymore, I constantly am going on walks with my friend. She has a lovely golden doodle and got a puppy recently, she’s a fun new addition to our routes! I also walk the dogs at my mother’s work to keep them healthy.

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand that each dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require a slower pace and extra attention. I pay close attention to details like feeding routines, medication schedules, exercise needs, and behavioral cues so your pet stays on their normal routine. What truly sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I keep owners updated with messages and photos so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and stress-free. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a wide-open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m also able to adapt to each pet’s specific routine—whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening feedings, or extra time for exercise and play. My goal is to keep your pet’s day as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible while you’re away. When caring for pets, my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible by keeping their routine consistent. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest so they feel secure in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they are happy, relaxed, and getting the exercise and attention they need. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and activity. I make sure pets have regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and a comfortable place to rest. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is well cared for while they’re away.

Katie has been a dream to work with and our Danes love when she comes to visit. She’s timely, attentive, and dog savvy. I don’t always trust just anyone with our dogs, but absolutely do with Katie. Highly recommend and appreciate the help she’s provided to us consistently over the last year.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Newport

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Newport on Rover is $10.7 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,436 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.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Newport. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
