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.

About: I’ve had a dog the past 8 years and have dog sat for friends and neighbours countless times! I love walking them and giving them all the love they can handle! I’m currently working part time as a nanny and am beginning my masters in nursing this fall. My schedule is fairly flexible and I’m looking forward to giving your dogs all the love and attention! I have a no issues crating a dog or training them. I crate trained my dog and taught her basic commands such as sit and stay.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience. Right now, I care for my own 7-month-old Belgian Malinois mix puppy, Calico, which has given me plenty of practice handling energetic breeds, training, and creating routines. I also have a gecko, so I’m comfortable caring for exotic pets with unique needs. In the past, I’ve cared for senior dogs too — my current family dog is 12 years old and thriving — so I know how to provide gentle care for older pups. Whether it’s puppies, seniors, or exotic pets, I make sure every animal feels safe, happy, and loved like they’re my own. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of availability to fit pet care into my routine. Whether you need daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. :) I make sure every pet has their basic needs met like fresh food, water, bathroom breaks, and a safe, clean environment. I pay close attention to their energy levels, giving active dogs lots of exercise and playtime, while keeping senior or calmer pets comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and routine are always my top priorities.

About: I recently graduated from college (UCI 🐜) and I have so much time to spare this summer! I am very patient, active, and responsible and I love working with cats and dogs. With any of my available services, I will always make sure to put you and your pets first. I just graduated from college and would love to take care of cats and dogs in the city in the last few months of my lease in California. This gives me a very open and flexible schedule for you and your pets! At my college apartment, I don't have any pets. But at home in New Hampshire, I have two cats, one tortoiseshell and a tuxedo boy who are both indoors. I also grew up with a greater swiss mountain dog and took care of her in her senior years. My experiences aside, I understand that every cat family is different and have different values which, as a sitter, I would deeply respect.

About: We both grew up with dogs and have always loved having them around. We’re an active couple who genuinely enjoys walking and taking care of pups—we treat every dog like they’re part of the family. We don’t have one of our own just yet, but we definitely plan to once we’ve got the right space. In the meantime, we love spending time with dogs of all ages, from high-energy puppies to mellow seniors. We’re experienced, caring, and always make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well looked after. Pet care fits easily into our routine! I work fully remote from home, and Sam is a teacher with summers off. Our flexible schedules mean one or both of us is almost always available to give your pup the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, we’re reliable and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs. Whether we’re in your home or ours, your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We follow all your care instructions closely and make sure they feel secure and loved. During walks or sitting, we stay attentive, keep pets on leash in safe, familiar areas, and always meet them at their energy and comfort level. Building trust with your pet—and with you—is at the core of how we care for every animal.

About: Hi! I'm Ashley, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I've been walking and dog-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was 12, but recently moved to Orange County and would love to meet some new furry friends in the area! ☀️ I grew up surrounded by dogs ranging from a tiny Yorkie to a Chocolate Lab, so I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I've also been a volunteer with Priceless Pets since 2016, helping care for their dogs and bringing them to community events to help them find their forever homes. As a project manager by day, I'm naturally reliable, organized, and communicative. I know pets are family, and I treat every dog I care for like they're my own! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup 🐶🤎 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week, and I'm fully available on weekends. Whether your dog needs a quick lunchtime walk, some company during the day, or a longer morning adventure, I'd be happy to help. I'm usually out getting my steps in anyway, so bringing a pup along is a win-win! I'll always take the time to make sure your pet feels comfortable and gets to know me at their own pace. Whether they're energetic and ready to play or a little shy at first, I'll adapt to their needs to help them feel safe and secure. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I'll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages throughout our time together. You'll never have to wonder how your pup is doing - my goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable, confident, and cared for from our first meeting!

About: I have grown up with my dog since fourth grade. I did the potty training, picking the poop, walks and more. As a college student, I would be homesick primarily because I miss my dog. I will cherish your pet with as much love as I have. I will find so much joy in watching your pet. I am currently on summer break therefore have several free time to spend with your pup. I will devote time and energy to give your dog love! I am available to drive to your home so your pet feels more safe. I will provide your pet with love by walking him/her, feeding and giving all the belly rubs the dog desires.

About: I have a very wide range of skills regarding my care for animals. I grew up with a mastiff, a Chihuahua, ferrets, birds, fish, and always a cat so I am very familiar with all different types of animal care. Along with I’ve been riding horses competitively since I was six years old! I am currently a veterinary technician student as well, with 70 hours of completed externship through VCA animal Hospital too! I currently work on Monday through Friday 9 to 4 with plenty of flexibility, and go to veterinary technician school late evening two nights a week. So I am looking to fill my free time in the mornings, evenings and weekends with pet care! I live in an apartment one block from a beach, so I absolutely love to explore the area. And I take extreme caution and care whenever going into new areas/customers homes!

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: 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.

About: I’ve grown up caring for both dogs and cats, and currently help care for my 6-year-old French Bulldog and 8-year-old Golden Retriever, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, senior dog needs, and attentive care. Since childhood, I’ve also walked and pet-sat neighbors’ dogs and cats. Since 2021, I’ve been a dog walker at Priceless Pet Rescue, where I’ve gained experience handling dogs of all temperaments, including more challenging ones. I even used to walk horses and donkeys at Back Bay Therapeutic Riding Center, so I feel confident handling all kinds of pets! I'm currently home for the summer after graduating from college, so I will have plenty of time for walks, play-dates, and pet/house sitting! I will be out of town 7/4-7/9 and 7/25-8/1, but will be very flexible outside of these dates! I provide attentive, responsible care and ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their homes. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and medication if needed, while also respecting and keeping the home clean, secure, and well-maintained.

About: Looking for someone to take the best care of your beloved animal. I’m your girl I’ve been caring for pets my entire life. I also volunteer at priceless pets bc I love animals so much ! I currently have the sweetest Great Dane named Beauty. She’s sincerely the sweetest rescue we have ever had. She is a gentle giant and is truly gentle with every dog she meets. No matter how big or how small your dog or cat is. Rest assured if your pet ever stays at my home. They will have a buddy for life and they will get lots of love, cuddles and beach walks from me. I’ve owned dogs for over 40 years. My previous Great Dane lived to be 12 years old and we rescued Beauty at 14 months. She is now 5 years old and training to be a service dog. I believe love is the number 1 thing a pet needs and Love is absolutely what I’ll give to your furry family member I’m an entrepreneur. So I work from home most days. Which is ideal If you have a pets whom needs more care or if your dog or cat is anxious or has separation anxiety. I'm a very clean and organized individual whom doesn’t mind a little bit of dog/cat hair on my clothing. But as far as the house goes, I keep it clean. Dust and clutter free. I would absolutely keep your home tidy and clean as I don’t sleep well with a mess around me.

About: Local TCU student home for the summer who loves animals and is looking for a fun, flexible side gig. I’m responsible, easygoing, and happy to hang out with dogs and treat them like my own. I’m currently home for the summer working a part-time job and looking to fill the gaps with pet care. I already take care of my energetic Duck Tolling Retriever, so I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, and general care. Attention to your pet, routines, and instructions are my top priority! I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of attention and exercise, and feel comfortable and relaxed. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space, keep things tidy, and always make sure doors, leashes, and gates are secure. My own dog is always on the move, so I’m used to staying aware of things like open doors and food left out.

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!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Newport Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Newport Beach on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 9,983 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.
