About: I have been caring for my own animals for over 8 years. Our furry, scaly, feathery family members deserve the upmost respect and care. I've done various tasks such as claw care, simple grooming, specially diets, oral and injectable medications, and bathroom trips/litter scooping. I am up for any challenge, not afraid to get a little messy, or willing to take the extra time needed to sooth an overwhelmed pet. Just let me know how I can care for your pets! I am a full-time student, with only 2 classes in the week midday on Monday and Wednesday. Otherwise I devote my time to the gym and professional development. I am a non-smoker and non-drinker. Confidentiality is first nature to me. I am in the US Military, 4 times deployed, I understand privacy and security is imparative. My only desire is to look after your pets, I may bring a laptop to get any school work done but otherwise my priority is to follow the guidance set for me to make sure your pet and/or home is taken care of! I do not smoke at all :>
About: I have experience caring for friends' dogs, as well my previous Retriever mix Lucky. I had her for 13 years from her energetic puppy years to a senior who needed a lot of attention and medication. My home is missing a set of paws walking around it now and I have a very flexible schedule until I leave for a new job in August. I look forward to getting in touch! I am currently in between jobs and have plenty of free time for your pups! In a typical week I will only leave the house for a few hours at a time for a couple reoccurring appointments on Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday. My home has a fenced yard with plenty of room to run around and play. There is a lot of open space in my home and air conditioning to keep everyone cool. I enjoy varying levels of activity from going on runs or walks, to chilling on the couch.
About: I have years of experience with both my own pets and those of friends. My own dogs are both large breeds with high energy; on a daily basis we go on multiple walks and make trips to the dog park. I have years of experience walking leash reactive dogs/pullers, and have often house/dog/cat sat for friends over the years. Spending time with and taking care of animals is something that brings me great joy, and I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with you and your furry friend(s). I understand the love we have for our animals as owners, and will deliver the same care that I would want for my own. I'm currently in a transitional phase, so I have lots of time in my days to help with your pet care needs. I live in safe, quiet area with lots of walking routes, and I am roughly an eight minute drive from two different dog parks. I have four animals of my own, two dogs and two cats, so I am aware of what it takes to care for pets. I currently live in a two bed/two bath, 1200 sqft. apartment, equipped with a small complex bark park. I have two friendly dogs that love making new dog friends. Pets are allowed on furniture, and receive lots of one-on-one attention, as well as frequent walks and opportunities for play. I have experience with high energy and leash reactive dogs, and have the patience to handle different animal personality types.
“Emily did a great job with taking care of my nervous dog. He was new to the city and she was patient with him and gave him the time he needed to warm up to her and go for the walk.”
“Emma has been a great team player while I was out of town and my husband who is waiting is waiting for two knee replacements was at home with our puppy. Ruby adores her and so do I. Thanks Emma for being there to help us when we needed extra support!”
“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!!”
“Our dog, Maple, has been having some stranger danger and Teresa has been so patient with him as he gets used to someone coming and taking him for walks while he’s home alone. She’s been extremely communicative and so flexible as we’re getting him over his discomfort!”
About: I have taken care of pets, including my own, since I was 8 years old. From big to small, dogs to cats, young and old, and many breeds I have a passion for taking care of animals! I am very reliable and have excellent communication. You will always find your pet happier than you left them! I am currently on summer break so have all the time in the world for your pet! I am free most days and most hours so have a very flexible schedule. Say the word and I will be there for your pet! I have 2 dogs and have taken care of many of my family and friends. I make sure to clean up after them, feed them on schedule, walk them, play with them, and keep up with grooming and hygiene! I will always make sure your pet is safe and gets the attention they need.
About: I have been a STEM teacher for 5 years, handling classes with students of grade levels from middle school through seniors. I also pet sat my SIL’s cats at her house (one a senior, other younger) while she traveled overseas for a month, along with aiding in looking after four young puppies for a month. Also, I establish trust and care with both dogs and cats in a timely manner, ensuring that they fill safe and loved. Also, I have had several cats and dogs of my own throughout the years. I am currently in my summer break so I can be there for your pets practically at anytime, just busy on Monday and Wednesday mornings until 12 pm. In your home, I can feed, walk, play, and love your dogs and cats as much as is needed. If they have routines or need to be put up / crated, I can facilitate those.
About: I have been taking care of medium sized dogs for 16 and a half years. I have lived with dogs a large majority of my life with having four dogs living together for a few years. I have also had a cat for 18 years and two years ago got another. I currently have two medium sized dogs and two cats. I have helped train my dogs, walk, feed, and play with them. I also have worked with puppies and elderly dogs. I am going back to school late August so my schedule is flexible until then. There might be days where I am not available, I might not always have access to a car but I will do my best to communicate with that. I have a fully fenced in backyard for the dogs, we go on walks every morning and night in my neighborhood. They have plenty of toys to last a lifetime and plenty of treats. My cat has limited access to the house when I am back home because of the dogs but she has everything she could want.
“My small yorkie LuLu doesn’t normally walk with anyone but me and very few people who have watched her. Vanessa was able to get her to go on a walk and do her business. It took the stress out of my travel day knowing that LuLu was well cared for. Thank you Vanessa!”
“Allexis is the best dog walker I've ever had! She is so communicative, kind, caring and flexible. My dog has struggled with some big life changes and transitions we've been going through and Allexis has been patient and loving with her. I've seen a huge difference in my dog's demeanor since Allexis and I've so grateful!”
“Jackie has been an excellent dog walker! She is reliable, trustworthy, provides great care for our Daisy dog, and always sends friendly notes and pictures on the day's events. Daisy also loves it when her son Matthew is able to come and plays fetch with her. Everything you could hope for in a pup friend for your pet. ”

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!
Kai is doing a great job. I had surgery and needed someone to walk my dog 3x/day. He answered the call immediately, came to the house to introduce himself and appeared the next day at 7:15 AM. He has been very punctual and dependable. My dog, who doesn't like to walk with people she doesn't know, wags her tale when he comes to the door. HE is terrific!
Rachel is amazing! She's great with my dogs, who are suspicious and standoffish with people they don't know. She is also just a lovely human! Last weekend, while on my trip, I discovered that I had mistakenly booked her to walk my dogs the following weekend, not the one I was gone. She was able to accommodate the last minute change, and was so kind about it. Rachel is the best :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Newport on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 12,451 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:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
