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.
“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!”
About: While I’m new to the professional platform, I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and helping friends with theirs. This blend of personal and informal experience means I bring both heart and reliability to the job. Having a 6‑year‑old American Labrador of my own means I feel what pet parents feel. I know the worry, the guilt, and the hope that your dog will be loved just as much in your absence. That empathy shapes the way I care for every dog I meet. So, availability per pet's requirement is my key. I am a full time caregiver. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine because I am fully focused on it and not working anywhere else. Caring for dogs is my primary commitment, so my days are structured around giving them consistent attention, companionship, and a stable routine. For Pet House-Sitting at pet parents home, I would prefer not to stay overnight, instead I can provide an early morning care. When I’m caring for a pet in their own home, my priority is to maintain the comfort, routine, and environment they already know and love. I treat your home and your pet’s space with the same respect and care I give my own. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs, and any special routines your pet relies on. Because I’m fully focused on pet care and not working anywhere else, I’m able to give your dog consistent attention throughout the day, whether that means playtime, exercise, or simply being present so they never feel lonely. I also keep communication open with you, providing updates, photos, and honest check‑ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your time away stress‑free by giving your dog reliable, loving care right in the comfort of their own home.
“Jennifer has been amazing! She walks my baby with patience and enthusiasm. She leaves detailed messages and pictures after each walk. Her years of experience are reassuring as well.”
“She did a great job following my instructions and was able to walk my dog who’s very anxious around strangers. She worked with me to find a solution to help her get less nervous around her. Highly recommend as a dog walker!”
“Fariba was amazing! She came to our house on time, Iggy was so excited to see her. She is definitely a dog lover! She took Iggy back and let us know if he had gone potty or not. We will definitely reach out to Fariba again for her service and will definitely recommend her!”
“I really appreciated Toki for taking care of my dog. He's really experienced and reliable dog walker. And he's really good at communication. We will ask him for help in the future and we would recommend him to others.”
“Did an amazing job with Jasper! He got a good walk in and got to see his friends at Riverside Park. Commicated very well and took lots of pictures! Will definitely be using again and hopefully they get to hang out some more!”
About: Ive grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. I spent a lot of time with my cousin being a breeder taking her dogs to shows, I have learned how to take care of dogs and how to approach the ones that can be a handful at times. I work a full time Monday- friday job but on my lunches I can stop by for check ins and walks and after work as well. Weekends are always open too. If doing check ins I can clean up any accidents and make sure they are fed and have water(depending on feeding schedules) and I always have local parks and routes pre planned for a good walk
“Bibiana walked Pluto for the whole week i was gone. She was always on time, communicative, friendly and responsible. we would love to work with Bibiana again. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life, growing up with pets and continuously having dogs in my home. Having raised and cared for dogs through every stage of life, I treat every guest pet with the exact same unconditional love, safety, and attention I give my own. Working part-time gives me a highly flexible schedule with plenty of dedicated, open blocks throughout the day for pet care. I can easily accommodate consistent feeding times, mid-day walks, playtime, and evening care. Because my work hours are manageable and predictable, your pet receives frequent individual attention, timely potty breaks, and structured daily routines without long gaps in care. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is keeping their routine consistent, comfortable, and stress-free. I adhere strictly to your instructions for feeding, fresh water, exercise, and any special care or medications. I ensure your home stays clean, secure, and respected, providing full attention, affection, and active engagement during every visit. You’ll receive detailed updates and photos after every visit or stay so you know your pet and home are in great hands.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take pride in providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing plenty of affection and companionship. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventure or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I focus on clear communication and regular updates, including photos and messages while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved, and to give owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work from home full time so I will be able to accommodate most schedules during the week. My weekends are usually open and free so that means more time to dedicate to your pet's care. I will make sure the proper care and attention is given at any point of the day! I have more than enough space in my apartment to accommodate most animals. My apartment complex is very safe, quiet and clean with adequate space to provide walks if needed. For cat owners, I do have a resident cat that will be in the same house. I will make sure proper separation is guaranteed if you decide to have your kitty cat stay with me!
“I love Wendy! She’s very reliable and responsive and my dogs love her. She’s more than capable of handling my 2 large dogs! She comes multiple times a week and she’s just amazing at handling them. Esp my difficult dog that is prone to aggression and dog distractedness. Thanks so much wendy!”

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!

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.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Newport after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
