Wiktoria is the best! She is prompt, reliable and really easy to communicate with. We had her walk Murphy and she was wonderful - we'll be using Wiktoria whenever we need someone to help with Murphy.

Sheila is great! She took care of my two dogs this evening and made them feel comfortable. One of my dogs has a severe anxiety disorder so taking him for a walk is no easy feat. She handled it and got him to walk for her. I am so grateful to Sheila for this. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog walker.

Myleigh was able to come within a hour of my request for dog walking which was incredibly helpful. I needed someone to come for a day and a half and Myleigh was available and on time each time, even in the rain. Very nice, Molly loved walking with her!

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs, along with other animals such as goats and bunnies. There was never a time in my life where my family didn’t own at least one dog. When I'm home I love hiking with my Pyrenees Mountain dog. I currently work a full-time job from 8:30-5 pm Monday through Friday. I will be working remotely so I will be able to hangout with your pet during this time. I currently have a dog and two cats so at the time I am not offering pet boarding in my house but I will watch your pet from your home and provide potty breaks and walks. I will be working from home so I’ll be able to hangout with them during the day while I work.

About: We are a dog/cat family who welcomes all dogs who are good with children, other pets, and our 3-year-old rescue girl Luna! She is a love and would really like to make some friends. I currently work from home and have flexible hours during the week. My weekends are dedicating to being a cheer/soccer/basketball/dance mom, which makes me a professional time juggler! I keep my pet on a leash at all times unless in an area where she is safe to run without being a "flight risk".

About: Ive been caring for animals my entire life, my home has always been filled with cats and dogs. Whether it’s our pet, pet sitting, or fostering I have been taught how to care for animals in the best possible way. I’ve cared for multiple puppies and a senior so I am well versed in both sides of the spectrum! As a pet owner myself, I am knowledgeable and experienced with dogs with different anxieties and fearfulness. I will be able to accommodate and ensure that your pet is as comfortable as possible on our walk. With different levels of energy I am also able to run with a high energy dog if they love running! Whatever preferences your dog has I will try my hardest to provide! I am a college student home for the summer and am working part time. I am very flexible to be able to take care of your pets at any time of day! I will make sure your dog has the best experience with finding clear/safe walking routes for us to explore. My priority is to make sure our walks are the highlight of your dogs day!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and can’t remember a time when there wasn’t a four‑legged best friend in the house. Growing up with dogs taught me the foundations of great pet care: patience, consistency, and plenty of affection. Today, I’m a proud dog dad to my pup, Ghost. He’s energetic, loyal, and always ready for an adventure. Caring for him has deepened my understanding of canine behavior and reinforced the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs—whether that’s long walks, playtime, structure, or just a calm presence. I’m also a big cat lover! I’ve always had a soft spot for cats and genuinely enjoy their personalities—from the playful and curious to the calm and cuddly. Whether your pet is a dog, a cat, or both, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I have a full time job in Higher Ed I work from 8:30 am to 4:30 PM Mon-Fri. I can work around those hours. I also have an hour for lunch which I can use for additional walks I live by a lake so if your dog loves the water they will get plenty of that! I also have lots of walking trails nearby.

About: I can take your dog on a short walk or can take your dog on longer walks such as hiking or going to the beach where they will get lots of exercise and/or socialization if needed. You won’t have to worry if your furry companion is lonely or bored when they are in my care! I love getting to know each individual dog and will cater to their specific needs. I have previous experience house sitting, dog walking, and making drop-in visits from my own business I started. I have a B.S. in Equine Studies, which has given me knowledge of basic small and large animal health, nutrition, diseases, and care. I have my own 2 year old Lab mix named Rory so dealing with puppies or energetic dogs is no problem for me! I can also provide longer visits at the home for those families who are away long periods of time during the day and want their furry friends to have a few hours of socialization. I offer this at a specialized rate, for about 2-3 hours at a time.

About: I’ve been a dog owner and caretaker since I was 10 years old and have lived with dogs in multiple places across the U.S. I’ve had experience with a wide range of breeds and sizes—from my first dog, Cody the Shiba Inu, to my current dog Reese, a Lab/Plott Hound mix—so no size, energy level, or personality makes me nervous. I genuinely think every dog is just as lovable as the next. My dog Reese is now 13 years old, and caring for her as she’s aged has given me extensive experience with senior dogs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, assisting dogs up and down stairs, and adjusting care routines to match a dog’s mobility and comfort needs. I’m patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented when it comes to following an owner’s instructions. I recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire and commissioned into the U.S. Army as an officer. Before heading to training, I have approximately nine months where my schedule is very flexible and dependable. I currently work with a transportation company for about 1–2 weeks each month, but outside of that my availability is wide open. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I enjoy filling my time caring for pets and helping owners feel at ease while they’re away. Because my schedule is consistent and planned well in advance, I’m reliable, punctual, and easy to communicate with. I’m happy to discuss recurring care, extended stays, or last-minute needs whenever possible. Arrival Before your trip, I like to learn as much as possible about your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care needs. This can be shared however you prefer—through a message, a note left at home, or during a meet and greet. As long as I have clear instructions, I’m confident stepping in and keeping your pet comfortable. If you’re not home when I arrive, I’m happy to use whatever access method you prefer, whether that’s a door code, lockbox, or key. ⸻ During My Stay When staying in a client’s home, my priority is to keep everything feeling familiar and low-stress for your pet. I follow their regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and bedtime habits. I have lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, adjusting activity levels, and providing extra patience and care when needed. Whether your pet is energetic or more relaxed, I tailor my care to match their personality and needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and affection while also respecting their space. I’m attentive to safety at all times and aim to create a calm, positive environment while you’re away. I’m also happy to send updates and photos as often as you’d like—once a day, multiple times a day, or just check-ins when requested. I adjust communication to whatever makes you most comfortable. ⸻ Departure Before you return, I make sure your home is left exactly as you left it. This includes tidying up any areas I used, washing dishes if needed, and ensuring everything is clean and orderly. If requested, I’m also happy to water plants, collect mail or packages, and leave everything neatly in one place. After I leave, I can send a final update with photos and a quick summary so you feel fully informed and reassured. ⸻ Final Note At the end of the day, my goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible while you’re away. I take this responsibility seriously and treat both your pet and your home with care and respect.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Rockport

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Rockport on Rover is $27.75 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 3,342 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Rockport. 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 Rockport. 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 Rockport.

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 Rockport. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
