“HIGHLY recommend Jackie. She was great with Riley, and communicated well with me. Super friendly and responsive. Didn't worry at all about Riley while I was at work because I knew Jackie would be there. Would hire her again for sure if/when the opportunity arises.”
About: Building trust with animals has always been a rewarding experience for me. I always had cats growing up, and when I came to the U.S. as an international student 10 years ago, I stayed with many host families who trusted me with taking care of their dogs and cats. I started volunteering for Petco Cat shelter in 2016, taking care of kittens and senior cats, monitoring their oral medications, and finding them second homes. I am now a cat mom of my 7-year-old black cat and a rescue orange cat. I will provide your furry babies with all my love and care during the days when you are away, and send you updates so you feel like they are with you the whole time! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I have another part-time job helping foreign exchange students find their host families which does not have a strict time schedule. I will keep my schedule up to date so I can help you in the most efficient way :) I take safety very seriously. I know that safety is key to building trust. I will communicate with you clearly about your expectations and your house rules so you feel comfortable having me in your home taking care of your pet family members.
About: Hi my name is Georgia and I have not only previous experience for about a year where I worked with dogs at petsmart through the petshotel having to take care of them while the owners are away but I'm also a current employee at scampers daycamp for dogs where I have had to oversee up to 20 + dogs by myself or with others. I grew up with animals my whole life along with volunteering at the Humane Society a little and Kelsey Creek Farm Park. I think what you'll love about me is that I like creating a bond with the dog I'm working with and the pet parents as well. I feel like that's very important, after all I am looking after your four legged family member!! I can't wait to get to know you and your four legged companion! In conclusion, I hope to hear from you very soon!
About: Hello! My name is Allie and I am looking for some part time work taking care of your furry friend! I am responsible and reliable and love animals, especially dogs! I am willing to take your dog on a long walk around the neighborhood or block, or to a nearby park. I am trustworthy and safe. I am also willing to drop by and take care of your pets if you leave detailed instructions! I would love the opportunity to serve you and your pet. I work part-time remote, so I have flexibility in my week. I hope to hear from you soon! Thanks! I work part time and remote, so I have some flexibility with services during morning/afternoons/ evenings and weekends as needed. I have my own dog, but would not bring her along to walks or visits with yours. I follow directions of the owner. I want to ensure safety of the animal at all times. I do not bring pets in my own home at this time.
“Jade is truly the absolute best! Charlie Ann is a very sensitive dog with lots of feelings, and Jade quickly became one of her favorite people. Jade has a deep respect for Charlie as a creature with her own personality, preferences, and desires. She pays incredibly close attention to Charlie’s subtle cues and has gotten to know her so well, honestly, better than many people who have known Charlie for years. Jade is also a phenomenal communicator. After every walk, I get thoughtful, detailed updates and documentation, and I always feel like I know exactly how Charlie is doing and how their time together went. I’ve truly never felt so comfortable trusting someone with Charlie so quickly. It is incredibly clear how much Jade cares about her, and knowing that Charlie is with someone who understands and respects her so deeply gives me enormous peace of mind. I feel incredibly lucky that we found her!”
About: I've been around cats and dogs most of my life and have a deep love and affection for them. As well, I recently started volunteering at Seattle Humane. I'm currently doing this part time, so I'm pretty flexible on availability on weekdays between Monday-Thursday. Though, for drop-ins, my clearest availability is between 8am-2pm. But again, I’m flexible. I can do overnights between 5pm-9am. I try to bring a calm, kind demeanor to the environment to put the cat(s) at ease; I will scoop the litter box, feed them, and if they show interest, play with them, and if not, I give them their space!
“Hailee did a great job managing my older, reactive/anxious dog as well as my very excitable puppy! I would definitely recommend her—she followed my detailed instructions carefully and was very patient with both dogs, who each have somewhat complicated needs.”
“Hailey was fantastic with Bella during their walk in our area. She was punctual, caring, and kept Bella happy and safe. Bella came back wagging her tail, clearly having a blast. Highly recommend Hailey’s dog walking services—5 stars!”
“Riley is awesome! Super reliable and communicative, he sent me consistent updates and photos and I could tell my dog was in great hands while I was gone. Riley was available on short notice and even took the time to introduce himself to my pup before our booking to put me at ease. Note: I’m a Rover Sitter myself and truly couldn’t recommend Riley enough!”
“Sage has been walked Canelo several times in September and October. Besides that Canelo is looking forward to see her, she is on time, very polite and kind, flexible with time and does her Rover card every time. I really recommend her to take care of your beloved pets. Thanks Sage!!!”
About: I’ve grown up around cats, dogs and even frogs! I love adopting senior dogs/cats and working with them past medical challenges. I currently have a dog, four cats, and a frog! I work full time but my job is very flexible and I work from home! I am available at all hours and weekends are no issue. I have 4 cats, a dog and a frog of my own all of whom have a ton of needs and I love providing them with everything they need! Currently, I have 4 cats, a dog and a frog. They all require a ton of specific care and I make sure to keep them fed, stimulated and happy. My dog has a rare autoimmune disease which requires scheduled dermatologists visits and medications. These medications also make her need to use the restroom quite a bit more often than the average pup but I enjoy all the walks and time we get to spend together.
About: With my nursing background and having my own animals, I am knowledgeable and competent in handling/administering medications and mostly anything medical related with your pets. I have two animals of my own and have owned various pets throughout my life (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, etc). I am experienced in sitting various animals of all ages and would truly be honored to meet and love on your kiddos. I am available most days of the week since I am currently only working as a nurse part time. Other than my own two pets, I do not have any other commitments. I would prefer to take care of your pets in their own environment so that they are comfortable. However, I am willing to house sit at my home if necessary.
About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner for over 12 years. My beloved Maltese, Tori, was a very special part of my family, and caring for him for 12 years taught me how much patience, attention, and love dogs truly need. I would love to give your pup the same kind of care, affection, patience, and attention I gave Tori. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. 🐾❤️ I'm home almost 24/7. I was laid off last year and am currently looking for my next opportunity. In the meantime, I have plenty of availability during the day. I drop my child off at school on weekdays around 9am and pick him up around 3 pm, so I’m available between 9am to 3pm to provide care for your pups. I’d be happy to give them plenty of attention, walks, and playtime during the day! At this time, I am only able take on one small dog at a time for safety. I used to have a Maltese who sadly passed away recently to old age. I still have many toys which I would be happy to share. Knowing your pets are as happy as my dog once was brings me joy.

Akiva was a great dog walker. He worked on getting to know my dog and meeting his needs. Always punctual, he gave Yofi the full hour walk as requested. Akiva knows a lot about dog behavior and got to know Yofi before he took him out. Akiva and Yofi had a productive "meet and greet" before accepting this task. My dog has a few quirks that Akiva handled professionally. He was also very kind with Yofi. I recommend Akiva wholeheartedly.
Daniela is outstanding! She truly has a love of animals and engaged immediately with my two pups with skill and enthusiasm, catering to their separate personalities and needs with ease. She is kind and considerate and both dogs immediately adored her. I highly recommend Daniela, thank you!!
We did a trial meet-and-greet walk with Pauline and her dog, Comet, for our German Shepherd (Korben) and Husky mix (Deckard). Pauline was fantastic. Our Husky can be a bit selective and leash-reactive, but she handled him with total confidence and ease on our neighborhood walk. She has great instincts with dog dynamics, remained completely unfazed by typical introduction behaviors, and our senior GSD took to her immediately. It’s a huge relief to find a local sitter who understands large breeds and active dogs so well. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Newport is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $35 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 12,125 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 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.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Newport after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
