“Margaret has been walking my dog while I’m at work for several months now, and she’s been amazing. She’s reliable, communicative, and has shown my senior dog, Miley, so much patience and grace as she adjusted to my return to the office after years of being home with me. Now Miley looks forward to her daily visits and, let’s be honest, mostly to getting her usual treat afterward! Margaret is completely unfazed by Miley’s occasional spicy attitude and stubborn streak, which I really appreciate. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands. I’d absolutely recommend Margaret to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy dog care!”
“Victoria and Maria are awesome dog walkers! They adapted to the warm weather and kept my pups entertained and safe. They also were great fitting us in at the last minute! I’ll ask them again next time we head out of town!”
About: I’m a dog lover and dog mamma. Currently living in Newport, RI. I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I love long walks and lots and lots of fetch. I especially love cat cuddles :)! I will do anything I can to make your baby happy. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies. Thank you all! Kenzie xo I’m a Coats Guard Veteran and I’m currently working part time. I’m free mostly all day! Love lunch time walks and morning ones too :) I will take your baby for long walks everyday as long with additional exercise. I can provide in home drop in visits so that the pet doesn’t have to leave the comfort of their humble home.
About: I grew up having dogs and cats and love them both. Taking care of them from kitten/puppyhood to the end of their life. This helped me to understand how their needs change with age. During my time living oversees I rescued several street animals and have brought 4 of them back here to the US. In caring for the animals of others while they are away I've learned how to gain their trust as the newcomer. Animals are a total joy. My primary secular work is from home and flexible, so I'm able to accommodate your schedule as needed. Pet care is scheduled regularly throughout my day and week. Since all pets and their owners are individuals I respect the routines already in place to the best of my ability. But I always spend time petting and playing with them rather than just doing the basics.
“Tanya has been great with my pup, Serenity. She was patient as it took awhile for Serenity to warm up to her at first, but was very loving/caring and Serenity loved her towards the end of her first visit. She was on-time and kept her attention on my sweet pup. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I am a young, active professional working from home. I would love to bring my space and passion for exercise to your dogs. In between walks, my home will welcome any size pet with a large porch and open living area. Depending on your dog's eating habits, a typical day would wake up to breakfast, go for a nice walk to the backyard and/ or nearby park, be home for either play time or porch time, a midday walk is a must, and dinner too. A total of 4 walks, including before bed, are likely from my experience. On weekends I like to adventure to a nearby hike. Please let me know if your dog is car friendly! I welcome any special requests that you may have.
About: I have cared for cats and all sizes of dogs since I was young. I’ve been my neighbors’ go to for pet sitting and I enjoy every opportunity I get to spend with a new furry friend! I am a full time college student, however, my schedule is extremely flexible. I will always make your fur babies a priority and I can’t wait to meet them! My mornings are completely free as are Fridays, and I have early afternoons so your fur baby will get lots of attention and playtime! :) I can easily crate dogs if needed. I was raised with two dogs and a cat, and I have two cats at home, so I am familiar with all types of cat care as well as care for big dogs.
“Bianca was amazing and took Fudge on a bunch of great walks this week when I needed a dog walker ! She sent pictures and fudge looks so happy in all of them ! Definitely will reach out to Bianca again ! Thank you !!”
“Stevie-Rae was great! She responded quickly, took great care of my big dog, took pictures/left detailed cards, and even went a little long on some of the walks. Thank you!”
About: My name is Maria! I have owned and cared for other fur babies for over 40 years. I am also a local business owner and swim coach looking to make some extra money for my many Disney trips! I am a business owner, so I can make my own schedule. This allows me to be flexible with my schedule, so that I can be there for your pet's needs! My standard services include visits in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I also offer overnight care and can be flexible with your schedule as things come up!
“Chey was amazing! On time, communicative, receptive to all the information I gave her about my pets. I will for sure be booking with her again, with confidence that my animals are with a great person who’s highly responsible.”
“Maddy has been a huge help! We’ve been using her 4 times a week for 2 weeks now (dog-walking) and she’s great with keeping us informed on how Harper’s walk went and sending pictures. I can tell Harper really enjoys the extra attention during the day.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Newport is $21
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
We were visiting Newport and hired Taylor for 3 mornings of walks. She was punctual and did a great job managing my 2 high-energy goldens. She was also tuned in to the heat and provided the dogs with shade breaks and water. I recommend Taylor and would use her again if travels take us back to Newport.
Alexa is great! She is so sweet and kind. She shows up on time, takes Charlotte a different route every day, and updates with pictures and comments. My dog (corgi) is perfectly exhausted and happy after the 30 minute walk and loves Alexa. I could tell instantly from our meet and greet that we could trust her. Highly recommend!

She’s reliable, communicative, and has shown my senior dog, Miley, so much patience and grace as she adjusted to my return to the office after years of being home with me.

Mackenzie was amazing! She was responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates during her walks with our pup! We even asked to make some last minute changes and gave her feeding instructions which she responded to promptly and followed to-the-letter. We will definitely be booking her again! Thank you so much Mackenzie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Newport on Rover is $21.4 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 2,014 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:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
