About: Since the day I started talking, all I did was ask my parents for a dog. When I turned 9, that dream came true. Buddy was not just a dog, he was an essential part of our family. For fifteen wonderful years we created special memories, inside jokes, nicknames, and an unconditional love from not only us to him but from him to us. In his final years Buddy developed dementia, senior care was never something I had ever put much thought in to. As unfortunate as it is our babies won’t outlive us, giving them the absolute best and most comfortable lives we possibly can is so important. Being a child myself when Buddy came in to our lives, I have true experience with seeing a dog from their first and best days, all the way to the end. These fur babies are just that, our babies, and trusting a stranger with your baby is no small thing! The importance of being not only safe, but loving and kind is something I can always guarantee. The hole that has been left since Buddy left us feels just that much smaller when I get to be around another furry friend 🤍 I work a pretty flexible schedule, I waitress in Newport Beach and am in training to be a Pilates instructor as well. While my schedule does tend to vary, I’m usually in the restaurant Sunday-Wednesday nights with Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays completely off! I live in an apartment, however it is walking distance from the beach and other walking trails. I was raised to leave a place nicer than when you arrived, and between that and my clean freak gene your space will be in good hands! The more instruction for your dog’s routine and information on what will make them happy the better.
About: I have had a dog at home most of my life, and regularly walk and feed them. My friends and family trust me with watching their dogs as well! I recently went up to LA for the night to care for a friend’s large-sized dog, including walking, feeding, providing supplements, etc:) I just finished college, and I have plenty of time to care for dogs, looking to make some money! I typically walk outside multiple times per day, so walking pets fits into my routine perfectly. I have time both during the week and weekend to spend full days caring for dogs. I follow rules well and pay attention to details. Please provide any specific information and requests needed for your pet and I will be happy to comply!
About: I raised puppies from birth and have always grown up being around dogs! Can’t have my own due to space and miss having dogs around! I have a part time job so I would love to spend my free time getting exercise through walks and enjoying the company of pets! I do not have a fenced in yard but i do have a big grass area and other secluded parks to take them to. If in your home I will respect all privacy and treat your home with respect!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, feeding, medications, and providing plenty of companionship and affection. I’ve cared for pets for friends, neighbors, and family over the years, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your dog. I’m reliable, attentive, and will always treat your pet with the same love and care I’d give my own. I mainly work from home during the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, as well as more flexible care and overnight stays on weekends. Since I’m home most of the day, I can give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine and needs and will carefully follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, or other care. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection while keeping you updated along the way.
“Ashley has been wonderful with Brandy! She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. I really appreciate the detailed notes and photo updates after every walk. It’s so reassuring to see how Brandy did and know he’s in such great hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker!”
About: Hello! My name is Thomas and I'm a long time dog owner. Having grown up with dogs, I'm happy to take care of yours as needed. Having graduated from USC two years ago, I am fortunate enough to be in a position where I can work remotely. Throughout the day I often take walks around the peninsula/seashore to get a break from work. I work remotely so I often find myself walking outside to get fresh air as needed. Let me know how I can fit into your schedule! My family has owned a couple different dogs in my lifetime! Happy to help out as needed / provide specific care. I am no stranger to working with dogs who require a certain routine / diet.
About: Hi there! I'm Kaimon. An easygoing, calm, and patience dog lover that looks forward to getting your pups outside for some exercise, fresh air, or just a solid sniff session. I'm quite accustomed to dogs that want to stop and investigate every smell along the way - with two hounds (noses with legs) of my own, a beagle and a coonhound. I'm also no stranger to the power walkers out there, and really just used to pups of all demeanors, shapes, and sizes. Spending some of my free time volunteering with local animal rescues and growing up with dogs my entire life, being around them has naturally become a pretty core part of my life. I’m pretty adaptable to different personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog is playful and social, more cautious and shy, or somewhere in between, I try to make walks feel relaxed, safe, and enjoyable for them. Mostly, I just want owners to feel comfortable knowing their dog is being looked after with patience, attention, and care. Pet care fits best into my weekends and the occasional evening. I work a demanding weekday job, but still make time for reliable, attentive walks. Happy to work with whatever leash, harness, or lead setup your dog is used to. I keep walks safe and comfortable while matching each dog’s pace and personality.
“Annabel is such a treasure! She not only has been walking Nyx for some time now, she was excellent with a visiting pup, Toby who can be a bit shy. I highly recommend Annabel!”
About: Pet sitter in Newport. Quite new to Rover with little experience here now, but I’ve also looked after my own pets always. I’m reliable and calm. I rescued my cat after she was abandoned by ex neighbor and she’s a happy indoor cat now. Flexible schedule and I can come any time of the day. Available most days. Newport Beach, working mainly locally. Send me a message, thank you. For boarding I’m often home during the day too, but sometimes out. Let me know how anything specific you’d like me to do. I will take care of your pets and make sure they’re happy, safe and healthy.
“McKenna is absolutely wonderful! We did a meet and greet before our first scheduled walk. She’s so great with Rosie and has a lot of knowledge with puppy training. Great communication. So thankful I found her! Even recommended her to a few friends.”
About: Dog mom to a 7 yr old golden retriever and active therapy dog volunteer. Years of experience pet sitting and a lifelong love of dogs. I work full remote Monday-Friday. I also live an active lifestyle outside of work hours, consisting of multiple walks daily, frequent hikes, beach trips, and trips to the dog park. A typical day with my own dog consists of a morning walk/breakfast and a lunch time walk. After work, we like to get our exercise in by going for a hike, long walk, fetch, dog park, beach, etc. Then come home for dinner and cuddles. Since I work from home in a small apartment, I am always aware and attentive to what is going on. I have a dog of my own, so frequent walks and potty breaks for him are built into my work schedule. I have an extremely flexible work schedule, making me always available for your pets needs.
“Our first time hiring a rover. I asked Trey if he wouldn’t mind stopping by the day before our first walk to meet me and my dogs. I appreciated the fact that he made the time to stop by to do so. Our two dogs loved him and did well with him on their walk.”
About: As a former dog owner, I understand the deep love, care, and attention our pets deserve. Although my own dog passed away in November 2020, visits to the dog beach still bring back cherished memories and a sense of joy. I bring that same compassion and dedication when caring for other dogs—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m attentive to their needs, providing regular bathroom breaks, playtime, cuddles, meals, and companionship in a calm, nurturing environment. I currently work in the dental field and have the flexibility to create my own schedule, allowing me to take on additional responsibilities outside of my primary role. This flexibility enables me to be readily available and adaptable to your needs. Whatever you require, I am confident in my ability to provide reliable and attentive support. I believe in building trust and creating a safe, comforting environment for your pet while you're away. Pets have a remarkable way of bringing out the best in us, teaching us unconditional love and compassion. I approach every pet with gentleness, attentiveness, and genuine care and am always sensitive to their individual needs. Whether it's taking walks, enjoying time in the sun, playing, or simply offering affection and companionship, I’m committed to making sure they feel happy and secure. I also ensure their basic needs are consistently met, including regular bathroom breaks, fresh water, proper feeding, and a calm, stress-free environment.
About: Hello, my name is Cassie and I love dogs of every shape, size, and personality. I have experience working in a veterinary clinic as a technician as well as caring for rescue dogs. I currently have a boxer rescue and am very familiar with fearful temperaments who need a little extra patience. I am very caring and active and will give your dog as much love and play time as they want each day! I’m currently available full time with limited notice if you need your dog cared for last minute or planned ahead. Feel free to reach out to confirm availability. I live in Newport Beach near the peninsula and am very close to parks and the beach to take your pup. We will be sure to go on walks, potty breaks, and adventures around the area.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Newport Beach is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newport Beach
Caroline was extremely communicative before we met as we were setting up our walk! We appreciated her thoughtful questions about our dogs in advance of the walk. We treated this first time as a meet and greet and walked the neighborhood together. Caroline did a nice job with both our dogs - who are big pups - and they immediately took to her! She was very observant and asked really thoughtful questions about our dogs, their tendencies, and their behaviors while we walked through the neighborhood and also was proactive and comprehensive in asking about other dogs (and owners) in our community. We're looking forward to working with Caroline in the future!
Mia is an amazing dog walker, she has so much patience and understands dogs. My dog Atlas has A LOT of energy and can sometimes be too much to handle, but Mia knows how to match his energy and has so much patience for him. She was also flexible if I needed to change plans and communicative. I have recommended Mia to my coworkers and would recommend her to anyone!
Ashley has been wonderful with Brandy! She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. I really appreciate the detailed notes and photo updates after every walk. It’s so reassuring to see how Brandy did and know he’s in such great hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker!
Sarina clearly communicated with us and got our two large dogs the exercise they needed while we were out of the house. We feel she is trustworthy and did not have any concerns or issues. Our dogs seemed happy when we got home and we appreciated the photos and updates from their walk adventures.
thank you Garrett! Walked my dogs multiple times in a pinch while i was away for a holiday weekend. He was on time, walked them for the full 30min, and shared photos from each walk. The dogs definitely needed it and he handled the leash reactive dog (to other dogs, men, bikes, etc) well. Thank you again!
Joseph was great with Bowser. He took my advice on how to meet my pup and everything went great! When I asked how things were Joseph got back quickly and reassured me he and Bowser had a good walk. Thank you Joseph for giving him the exercise he needed while we were away.
John has been very communicative and thorough as our regular dog walker this summer. He is prompt and timely. Our doggo is a special boy with certain needs for medical conditions. John has gone the extra mile with making sure he is safe and comfortable after walks!
Lea is the best dog walker /pet sitter we have ever found. She is smart, personable, and clearly knows a lot about pets and how to handle them effectively. Belle was so excited to meet her. She asked good questions about Belle, her temperament and health conditions. She immediately engaged with Belle. Belle can’t wait for the next visit. What a find! Book Lea before she is booked solid!
Thank you Lauren for always taking good care of our puppy! We always felt bad leaving him when we have a night out but since using Lauren to check in on him, it’s been great knowing he’s in good hands! She is very reliable, trustworthy and great with dogs- she has one of her own too- our puppy warmed right up to her. Highly recommended her
Camden was so great with Toffee! I booked a last minute walk with Camden and she was so kind and responsive. She sent lots of updates and photos which I really appreciated! Toffee was so happy and excited to hang out with Camden. I will definitely book another walk with her when we’re in the area. Thanks, Camden!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Newport Beach on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 9,639 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Newport Beach. 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 Beach. 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 Beach.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Beach. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
