“This was my first time using Rover and I have a 16.5 year old high separation anxiety, deaf, mostly blind and disc issues pupper…I was nervous and Kyoka was great…she seemed to understand and appreciate my worry and was wonderful with my Mr Fuzzy man. Will definitely book again.”
“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!”
“Hannah was AMAZING! We were in town for a wedding with our 9 mo old Vizsla and she came to walk him twice and feed him dinner. Sent so many pictures and super thorough updates. Felt totally at ease knowing he was with her. Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have plenty of experience with dogs all shapes, sizes and ages from German short haired pointer to Havanese and everything in-between (don't forget cats too!). I have experience in full house sitting and pet sitting as well as just walks, check ins and play time! Family, friends and neighbors in the community have trusted me over the years to walk, play, clean, feed and protect their pets! I have experience with oral medications via syringe and/or tablet with cats and dogs! As a school-based occupational therapist, my schedule really opens up in the summer, giving me lots of flexibility and availability for pet care. I plan to spend most of my time locally, enjoying the beach and being around Newport, so I’m nearby and happy to accommodate a variety of sitting needs. Whether you’re looking for daytime check-ins or extended stays, I’d love to help make sure your pets are well cared for while you’re away or visiting town! I care for each pet differently! I will be in their home and their environment and will follow the typical routine for comfort but also having some fun!
About: I have a ton of experience with both cats and dogs. Grew up with animals and have pet sat and taken care of animals for numerous years. I love animals and can’t wait to take care of yours! I have lived in Newport for a couple of years and love the area! I work full time but am fully remote so have availability for mid day walks and after work/weekend care. I love learning what makes your pet feel comfortable and will do everything to make them feel safe while you are gone. I will make sure to send updates as requested!

About: Hello, my name is Marina. I do pet portraits because I have a genuine love for animals. I went to school for painting and I am saving money towards getting my masters in art therapy here in D.C. . I have prior experience in pet sitting whether it’s staying overnight or just taking them for walks. As it is my job, I love getting to know each and every personality because it brings me so much joy and I truly care for their wellbeing. I can walk any size dog and have have experience with dogs both big and small. Since I am self employed doing pet portraits, I am very flexible with times and dates. I hope to see you and your pet soon! Please contact me any time!
About: Since 2010 I learned to care for neighborhood pet friends so I could prove that I can have my own dog. From that I got my own baby boy and have spent 12 lovely years with him, but unfortunately he's out of state with his grandparents now. I miss him so much and would love to transfer all that energy to your loved one :) I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of free time to spend a couple hours with your baby and take them for a nice, long walk and play with them :) whatever they need, I'd love to do! I care about safety, privacy, cleanliness, and trust. I won't go anywhere/use anything unless asked (and I will check with you before doing anything we didn't talk about, such as if I were to bring treats, I'd make sure you are okay with what I give them before giving it to them). I'll probably be over-communicative, just so I'm thorough and so you know you can trust me with your baby.
About: I am currently the proud owner of my own dog Betty who is three years old. We’re apart of a tight community. With lots of love to share ! I work from home on my own art work so my schedule is flexible. I am a writer so my work is always waiting for me. I treat them like my own! Me and my dog are lucky enough to spend a lot of time together and any dog that comes into our space is a welcome guest.
“Belle is lovely! She is so kind, gentle, and patient with our energetic puppy, and has gone above and beyond, even bringing in packages. She has taken him on walks in the rainy, cold weather, which is so appreciated as the exercise is so important for our fur baby even during icky days! Definitely recommend!”
About: Experienced with a wide range of breeds, sizes, energy levels, and play styles, from active working and sporting breeds to relaxed companion dogs. I tailor my care to each dog's individual needs, personality, and routine. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I have a 5 year old Blue Heeler mix and no children, so I have lots of free time for pet care I want to keep your pet’s day as routine as possible, whether that requires set walking, enrichment, or nap times. I will ensure my time with them is comforting and fun.
“Sincerely grateful to Madison and Joseph for their periodic help with our young, active standard poodle, Cain. It's so reassuring to know he'll be taken care of and given some "him" time on the occasions when we have to travel for the entire day. We love the photos and updates they send, too. Highly recommend!”
About: Large Animal Science graduate, have completed the vet tech, dog grooming, and agility courses at BCAHS. Experience with diverse/exotic animal caretaking rolls, canine cpr certified, lots of experience with difficult dog breeds. My schedule with work is very flexible. Usually I tend to walk my dog for a 1-2 hours a day. It is extremely important that my dog Nala gets exercise each day to make sure she stays happy and healthy. Sometimes I also take my cat on the walks as well (he loves spending time outside with his sister with his harness and leash on!). Weekends have much more flexibility with my schedule. It is extremely important to make sure that any animal feels comfortable in their environment. Giving them the opportunity to take bathroom breaks and keeping pets on their normal schedule is very important. Giving pets access to fresh drinking water, specific foods, and medications as needed is also crucial. Providing proper exercise and mental enrichment only helps to further improve an animal’s experience in their surroundings as well.
About: Dogs have been the heartbeat of my life for as long as I can remember. From my childhood pup who lived to be 17, to my first adult dog who gave me 16 years of unforgettable adventure, I have deep experience caring for canines at every stage of life—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Currently, I’m the proud parent of two incredible doodles, Macchiato and Noisette. They are well-socialized daycare veterans who absolutely love welcoming new friends into our pack! After a rewarding 25-year career as a hairstylist, I am slowly pivoting to include my passion for detail and customer care toward pet care services. I can’t wait to treat your pups like family! With advanced notice, my schedule is incredibly flexible. When your pups are staying with me, their comfort and safety are my top priorities—I ensure they are never left alone for more than 4 to 5 hours at any time and provide tailored care to each dogs needs. To make things as convenient as possible for you, I also offer pickup and drop-off services. I proudly service the Aquidneck Island and East Bay communities, including Newport, Middletown, Portsmouth, Bristol, and Tiverton. Your pups will be treated exactly like members of my own family. I live on a spacious half-acre of fully fenced yard, offering plenty of room for your dogs to stretch their legs, zoom around, or just relax in the sun ( new PUP DECK coming soon). As a dedicated dog parent myself, I completely understand how tough it can be to leave your fur babies with someone else. That is why I am highly receptive to your specific routines, preferences, and instructions. I pride myself on being a clear communicator and highly dependable because I know that when it comes to your pets, trust is absolutely everything.
“Deanna was an absolute gem as my dog sitter. My dog, Koji, and I feel so lucky to have found her. She is a truly kind and wonderful person who provided thoughtful, gentle, and loving care to my senior dog. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Koji was in such capable and compassionate hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Deanna’s services.”

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.
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 .
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 , 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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
