“You’re an exceptional walker. My dog gets excited when it’s time to for Robyn to come. She is tired when she gets home, but it’s the good tired. So glad we found Robyn, she is excellent.”

“Sharon has been awesome taking care of my little Charleston. Communication was great, always on time and showed a lot of love toward my fur baby! I will definitely work with her again!”


About: I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, beginning in early childhood and continuing into adulthood. I have owned dogs, cats, and horses since around the age of eight, which gave me an early understanding of daily pet care, animal behavior, and the responsibility required to keep pets healthy, safe, and happy. ***If you’d like a walk please book walking service otherwise I will just do a quick potty break and spend rest of time doing typical care*** In addition to personal pet ownership, I have gained hands-on experience dog and cat sitting for others. This has included caring for pets in their own homes as well as managing routines that differ from my own, such as specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise needs, and behavioral preferences. I am comfortable caring for pets of different ages, temperaments, and energy levels, including puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals that require extra patience or reassurance. My pet-sitting responsibilities have often included daily walks, playtime️, feeding, administering medications as directed, cleaning up after pets, and ensuring they feel secure while their owners are away. I also understand the importance of clear communication with pet owners and providing updates for peace of mind.
“Amazing. Bohdan really helped our family out as we had a family member (who was our pet caregiver) fall the day before we had to leave town. He went above and beyond in so many ways! Thank you Bohdan and family.”

About: I've had dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens on my small farm. Guinea pigs, hamsters, and snakes I've been surrounded by animals of all kinds. My experience includes caring, raising, training and giving medical care if needed. I also have a degree in animal science. I'm retired, so my schedule is very flexible. I can work weekends and holidays. I am very dependable. I send pictures and daily updates. I would love the opportunity to feed, play, and insure your pets are doing well. I know how to approach animals, both timid and energetic. I have the experience to know when an animal is fine or in distress and can be trusted to give the proper care that's needed.
About: With years of hands-on experience breeding dogs and training German Shepherds, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior, structure, and care to every pet I watch. From high-energy working dogs to beloved family companions, I provide attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether it’s structured exercise, basic reinforcement training, or just dependable companionship, your pet will be in experienced and caring hands. I have part time job that I work at occasionally, but my passion is caring for our furry friends! I have 3 of my own and always find my most joyful moments are spent loving on them. Caring for pets is all about meeting them in their comfort space and going from there. Each furry friend has their own boundaries and when caring for them, it is vital to get to know them and build a trusting relationship with them, based on their personality. A meet and greet is the best way I have found to start this relationship.
“Tabitha did a wonderful job caring for Roscoe. He actually expected the "belly rubs" to continue upon my return home (LOL!). Now, I can travel with peace of mind knowing that Roscoe is in good hands.”

About: Walks, runs and playtime fun! Here to help whether it's because your busy at work or leaving town. I have the flexibility to give your pets multiple bathroom breaks, walks, or what ever else is needed. Contact me even if you have questions! Plant watering and mail gathering for out of town trips included... Just let me know what your needs are and we can schedule times accordingly. Im available through out the day, 7 days a week. I prefer Havelock clients for in house sitter jobs. If you need a lot of check ins I would rather keep your fur baby at my house, to avoid charging more for gas. I care for pets in their homes based on the guidelines the owners set out. I will always check their food and water bowls, walk or play outside and bathroom break.

About: I recently moved to the area and have a flexible schedule. In my family, we have always had dogs from small to big. I have provided care for them and often watch after dogs for friends and family. Having a flexible schedule allows me to provide a lot of attention to your loved animal. I have a love for dogs and will enjoy spending time, playing with them and treat them as if they were one of my own. I am very active so dog walks/runs can be done as often as needed. I am happy to provide any other information you may need when looking for someone to look after your pet. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions!
“Christine is a great dog person! She's very attentive, sensitive and makes my babies feel comfortable. She is able to walk both a 5-year-old Golden Retriever and a 4-month-old puppy and keep them safe. Highly recommend Christine for care of your fur babies.”

About: I worked at a pet boarding/daycare facility for three years. I’ve administered medication and handled dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I’m currently training for a triathlon and taking classes online, so my schedule is flexible and I have lots of energy to expend on play dates. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes, adapting to new environments, and recognizing signs of aggression before it happens, allowing me to keep your pup safe and happy.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from Great Danes to Miniature Pinschers. As a Husky owner, I’m also familiar with more challenging, high-energy, and stubborn breeds.I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including those who are visually impaired or have medical conditions. I’ve worked with diabetic dogs and understand the importance of maintaining a strict schedule, as well as safely administering medication, including injections. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available on weekdays from 8am to 2pm, and again anytime after 4pm. On weekends, I have full availability and can accommodate care at any time. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities, and I strive to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs.
“I just moved to the area and was in need of an extra resource to help with my three dogs. Jason really came through in a pinch. He is professional, courteous and boy do my dogs LOVE him! I will certainly ask for his support again.”

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life as a child, wildlife rehabilitator and as a wildlife biologist. For the last year and a half I have built a very nice reputation as a dependable and loving pet sitter. I have watched dogs, cats and birds! I have taken care of many senior dogs as well as a few puppies. Needless to say I’m not afraid of a pee pad or pill bottles! I work remotely and choose my hours, meaning, I can be with your animals at all time if need be. I do not mind staying with them 24/7 while you are away. It also means you can contact me any time that you need too. I live on a dead end road with very low traffic and have a very large yard. We will also go for nice walks down to the river where our road ends and a trail leads out to the river. My two main borders often do not want to leave or they want to come back home with me. It’s a great spot for dogs, whether they need to be leashed or not. If I am staying at your house I will always follow their normal routine. I really like for my clients to leave a note with food instructions, treat instructions, medicine, and daily routine. I also like to have a just incase number (neighbor or family member in the area) and the veterinarian. This is all just incase of an emergency and to make sure your pet stays safe and has the best time possible with me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 476 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:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
