“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!”
“Kyoka and John are really terrific with Juno. And with me! They're so responsive and flexible and so good with my baby. What a relief to be able to leave for the day without having to worry about the dog!”
“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!”
“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!”
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!
“I highly recommend Cheyauna! She did an amazing job walking my dog, Daisy. She went above and beyond by creating a checklist and running it by me before her visit to make sure she was fully aligned on Daisy's routine. She followed all my instructions perfectly, and everything looked great when I got home. If you want a reliable, organized, and caring dog walker, look no further!”
“Although I didn’t get to meet McKenna , all went well as she responded quite quickly to a last minute booking .it was the first time using the rover site so it was quite amazing to get such feedback for just a one time walk .very reassuring to help with my fur baby . Look forward to more walks and overnights maybe .”
“Thank God we found Maddy! It was a last minute minute booking. From the very first interaction, she was very responsive and kept our pup entertained. She was always on time and no hiccups throughout all these weeks. She sent us pics of our dog every time she was taking him on the walk. It was super cool to see the happy face of our dog during lunch.”

About: I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs.

I also absolutely love puppies and have plenty of patience for their energy, playtime, and little accidents along the way! Whether your dog wants to play, go for a walk, or just cuddle on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule with having classes very spaced out throughout the day. I am able to stop by at almost any time. Since I’m a college student, I’m not able to have pets stay with me in my dorm, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable. I’ll follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles while giving them lots of attention and care. I want every pet to feel safe and loved while their owners are away, and I’m always happy to send updates and pictures!
About: I have pet sit cats, dogs, and rabbits, as well as dogwalked since I was 12 years old (2016). I have owned both a kitten before as well as a puppy and now own an adult dog who I helped to crate and potty train. I have housesat for dogs and cats multiple times in my own home as well as theirs for up to weeks in a row. I love animals more than anything on the planet and would love the opportunity for your pet to be cared for by somebody who will shower them with love. I currently only work 2 hour shifts twice a week so I am at home most of the time and usually all day on weekends. I am a senior at Salve Regina University so I do have class, but am not usually gone for more than 2.5 hours at a time. I have a pet-safe apartment and am home most of the time for potty breaks, feeding, walks, and overall engagement. They are allowed on all furniture and I treat them as if they are my own. I will also respect your rules if we are in your home and will try and make them feel as comfortable as possible in their normal environment.

I will do my best to maintain their schedules as well as training and discipline. I will treat them as my own with lots of love and affection, knowing they may miss their parents. I work from home so fitting pet care into my schedule is not an issue. I walked my own dogs every morning in the neighborhood or to the beach. Afternoon neighborhood walks or romps in the big backyard are often on the agenda. I have a single family, single story home with a fenced yard in a great neighborhood. I will treat your pet as my own, keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. I love animals and will take great care of your fur baby.

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!
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!

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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
