About: Hi, I’m Clara! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny parrots to towering horses—and I’m confident handling everything in between. I have experience with: • Puppies and young dogs (training, socialization, and lots of patience!) • Caring for a dog with frequent seizures and special health needs • Working at a large dog rescue in Mexico, rehabilitating street dogs with behavioral and medical issues of all sizes • Administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions • Senior pet care with extra attention and gentleness (my dog is epileptic so I know how to administer all seizure meds and the full protocol) • Basic training and reinforcing good behavior • Horse care from years of working in barns (feeding, grooming, handling) • Volunteering for a year at a parrot rescue, learning about specialized bird care I’m active and outdoorsy, so I love taking energetic dogs for runs, hikes, or long walks—but I’m just as happy giving older or calmer pets plenty of snuggles. Safety, compassion, and keeping your pets happy are my top priorities, and I’ll always send plenty of photo updates while you’re away. I’m currently completely open and very flexible with scheduling. I’m not working another job right now, so I can adjust to your pet’s exact needs—whether that’s early mornings, late nights, or last-minute bookings. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets must be friendly with other dogs, as I have my own, and everyone’s well-being is a top priority. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play and fresh air, and I love going on regular walks to keep pets happy and healthy. I’m very routine-oriented, so I’ll follow your pet’s feeding, exercise, and care schedule exactly as you request—whether in my home or yours. I make sure each animal feels secure, loved, and stress-free, with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection.

About: As a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet owner, my top priority is ensuring both you and your furry family member feel completely confident and comfortable in my care. I have four years of hands-on experience in house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits; alongside my daily work at a dog and cat boarding facility. I am well versed in handling different animal behaviors and administering oral and subcutaneous medications safely. Having grown up around dogs of various breeds and sizes, I know how to adapt to your pet's unique personality. Whether they thrive on high energy adventures or prefer quiet couch cuddles, I am committed to maintaining their normal routine and treating them like my own. I am currently looking to fill blank slots in the morning during the week. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, I will try to fit you into my schedule the best I can! I care for pets in their own home to keep their routine comfortable and stress free while keeping your home tidy and secure. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and I’ll always reach out right away if anything seems unusual. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I bring a naturally calm, grounded presence into every home I enter. Pets are incredibly intuitive, and I prioritize creating a peaceful, steady environment where they feel safe and secure. Whether your dog is anxious, high-energy, or just needs consistency, I focus on maintaining a structured routine with patience and gentle guidance. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and comfortable, and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in stable, attentive hands. I’m currently in school and have a lot of time in between classes! I have tons of times to take care of your best friends! When pets stay in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment with consistent routines to help them settle in smoothly. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and supervised play, and I always monitor pets while outside. If your dog is crate-trained or prefers a crate for rest, I can easily accommodate that to maintain their normal routine. My goal is to create a peaceful, secure space where your pet feels at ease while you’re away.

About: I'll be honest, I am doing this because I need extra money. But I want to make extra money spending time with your pets because I love being around animals and I want to spend actual time with them giving them love, exercise, and a good time. I am able to spend actual time with them as I am a teacher and do not work during the summer. Animals deserve to be shown affection as much as possible throughout the day especially when a lot of their time is spent waiting for owners to come home. Don't let your pets wait around for you, give them someone to hangout with in the meantime! I love taking dogs on walks and hikes! I know how important it is for animals to be cared for meaning being fed, bathed, and given a good rubbin. If you have any questions, feel free to ask (: I am a teacher on summer break so I am fully available for your pets! I love to take them for walks and play with them. I care for pets by taking them for walks and to the bathroom based on their schedule at home. I love to play with dogs and give them rubs. I love making new dog friends.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with a special place in my heart (and home) for furry friends. I’ve raised and trained dogs, including German Shepherds, and since moving from Boston to RI two years ago, I’ve loved turning my cozy, dog-friendly home into a little retreat for pups. We’ve got an acre of land to explore, and every day starts with a peaceful walk through our sunny neighborhood. Whether your pup is here for the day or staying overnight, they’ll get lots of attention, playtime, and love—just like they would at home. I offer: • Boarding in my home • Doggy daycare • Dog walking • Drop-in visits I’m reliable, warm, and totally dog-obsessed—every dog I meet becomes part of the pack. I’d love to care for yours next! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾💛 I work remotely 4 days a week week. I often adventure locally with my husband in tow on the weekends hiking, doing outdoor activities, very dog friendly :) I live on a quiet road across from an apple orchard, not close to any type of traffic. I have about a half acre green backyard for dogs to run in with my supervision

About: Prices can be discussed and adjusted within reason. I love animals, I grew up spending the summers with my Aunt who dog groomed and also dog sat, 5-6 dogs at a time. I have had dogs of all sizes, mini dachshund, labs, golden retriever, etc and one beautiful cat. I also grew up horseback riding, so the love for animals has always been there. Life doesn't feel right unless a dog is present. There's so many trails to take if your dog likes walks but if your pet likes to stay local and cuddle, I'm always up for that too. Whatever makes you happy and your pet feel safe and loved. I'll be sure to cater to your beloved pets as if they were my own, that is ALWAYS my goal. Give me a list of the do's and don't and I'm on it! My prices reflect the quality of my work. I also have a team as well, mentioned here and there in the reviews. I only want happy clients so my team reflects that as well. & sometimes my boyfriend does help, he's a plumber and the kindest man. Also means more people to give love and attention to your dog. With this job, you tend to be in other peoples homes more often than your own so it helps us as well. I also do not do anything you are uncomfortable with and would always discuss who is in your home. I do as I'm told by the owner and always handle with care as if they were my own and I treat my own with unconditional love. I understand this job is a vulnerable situation with having new people in your home and taking care of your fur babies. I don't take that lightly and you can see by my reviews that's what I strive for, for you to be worry free and everyone happy and content. Send me a message! Looking forward to making your life easier and worry free. ☺️✨🐶😻 If you book me, expect cute picture updates of your pets :) I do pet sitting full time. I usually am there for the most part, I do leave to drop in on other dogs, doctor appointments, things like that. If I do have an event I would always keep my time away from your pets during the duration of when they can be left which normal is 4-6 hours unless otherwise discussed. Puppies are less, 2 hours. Again, I really am not leaving, I enjoy being with the animals and bonding. I do what their routine is & if they need a kennel/crate I ask that you bring what they need that keeps them comfortable with me. In your home, I just do exactly as you would with them.

About: Hi, I’m Sophia! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I understand that pets aren’t just pets—they’re family. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or sticking to a routine, I make sure every furry friend in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. What makes me different is the balance of professional reliability and genuine care. I provide consistent communication with pet parents, lots of photo updates, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I’m experienced with puppies/senior dogs/cat, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priority. Whether you need walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your furry friend is cared for with patience, attention, and plenty of love. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home/have a flexible schedule. I’m able to provide frequent walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day, making sure pets never feel lonely. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine closely to make sure everything feels familiar and stress-free. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions, while also giving lots of playtime and affection. I always keep the home tidy and send updates with photos so owners feel reassured. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like family. I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and part of my daily routine. That means regular walks, playtime, cuddle breaks, and a cozy space to relax. I keep their routines consistent so they feel right at home.

About: I've cared for cats, dogs, mini ponies, horses, chickens, cows, mini pigs, pot-bellied pigs, and tortoises after living on a working ranch with a wide range of animals. There isn’t a fur baby too small or too big that I can’t handle. I have an open schedule and can work with any routines. I can be up early or out late. And I can keep to any personal schedule your fur babies have. I have indoor kennels and outdoor kennels, multiple leashes and harnesses, and a large property to run around on. My house is extremely pet-friendly; snuggles on the couch are encouraged!

About: With over 30 years of experience owning, training, and caring for animals, I bring a lifetime of hands-on knowledge and genuine compassion to every pet in my care. My experience includes horses, dogs, cats, birds, fish, and small reptiles, as well as a variety of exotic animals. My experience with dogs includes German Shepherds and retired racing Greyhounds, along with many other breeds. I also have extensive experience caring for tropical birds, including Macaws and Cockatoos. In addition, I am comfortable caring for freshwater and saltwater fish, cats, reptiles, and a wide variety of other animals. I have recently been pet sitting full-time through TrustedHousesitters and have received all five-star reviews from the families I have cared for. I will be returning to the New England area in early October and look forward to offering my services through Rover as well. Your pets are family, and I understand how important it is to leave them in the hands of someone experienced, dependable, and caring. I look forward to meeting you and providing your beloved animals with the attentive, loving care they deserve. I’m currently retired and enjoying a wonderful adventure traveling around the country while caring for beloved pets and homes along the way! 🐾❤️ I’ll be returning to Rhode Island at the end of September and am excited to start booking pet- and house-sitting opportunities again. If you’re looking for someone caring, responsible, and trustworthy to look after your pets while you’re away, I’d love to hear from you! I look forward to reconnecting with old friends and meeting some new furry friends, too. 🐶🐱🏡 When you’re away, I want you to feel completely confident that your beloved pets are safe, happy, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home. 🐾❤️ As a trusted pet sitter, I provide personalized care based on your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. I keep their normal schedule as much as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I believe pets are happiest in familiar surroundings, so I make staying home a comfortable and stress-free experience for them. I’ll also care for your home with the same respect and attention I give your pets, keeping things tidy and secure while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax and enjoy your time away, knowing your furry family members are in caring, dependable hands. 🐶🐱🐾

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. First, a yellow lab named Lucy & then another named Evie. Now, my family has taken on a Bernese Mountain Dog named Josie who is just the goofiest ever. In all the years of having a dog, I’ve been able to help out on walks, taking them to appointments and just lovin’ on them. With Josie, I have helped crate train her and teach her tricks in her puppy years and now being 3, I take her on daily walks (sometimes she walks me, she’s so strong!), car rides, to appointments, etc. My sister describes our relationship as “besties.” No matter the pup, I love being their friend! I have been able to watch different pups, young and old, small and big & love every second with any of them. I’m currently working part time and have availability to love on and care for any pups or cats! I am always happy to shift things around to get to walk, watch, play or stay with any of your pets. I currently cannot house pets in my home since I just moved here and there are currently no pets allowed :( but I am more than happy to travel to your home to make sure your pet feels as comfortable as possible. I know how important routine is to pets (especially dogs) and like to know that they feel safe in their environment and schedule. Especially for pets I’ve just met, I ease into their space and let them warm up to me so they feel safe. When it comes to walking pups, I let them go at their own pace and always make sure they’re leashed with treats on hand. I am always down for a pet snuggle too if they let me!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Oneco

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Oneco is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $21 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 2,410 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oneco. 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 Oneco. 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 Oneco 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 Oneco. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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.
