About: I've loved animals of all kinds since I was a small child. I started out with walking and caring for neighbors dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds. I have volunteered on rescue ranches, worked on a dressage ranch, and even owned and ran my own personal business breeding and selling reptiles. I have my own rescue dog who I am working on learning the ins and outs of dog training with. I've cared for birds, reptiles, equines, rodents, felines, canines, and more! Young, old, and somewhere in between are all familiar to me to some degree. Throughout my life my schedule has frequently revolved around large scale pet care. Whether it was caring for over 20 horses in a barn, or 40 baby geckos in my business, time management is something I excel at, and I am dedicated to ensuring all the animals under my care get the time and attention they need. I am currently open, and will build and update my availability as I find more work! I will ask you questions and take notes for everything you want me to do for your animals to ensure they are cared for the way you care for them. I pay close attention to animal behavior, and will notify you immediatly if I notice something wrong. I will also send updates/pictures/videos during the time I spend with your pets, if desired!
About: Hi! I have taken care of pets for a couple years now! Mostly just within my friends and family. I can feed/water, go on walks, assist with medications, and even give your baby a bath if needed! I will take lots of pictures of your baby throughout the stay and make sure that they are set and comfortable before I leave! I currently work in EMS on a 48/96 schedule. I will have lots of time between shifts to be able to watch your fur baby!! I currently can not offer any in home care. I live in an apartment and can not have anymore animals with me at this time.
About: I currently work at a local veterinary clinic, which has given me valuable experience and a deeper understanding of animal care. I’ve had a love for animals my entire life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and horses! Over the years, I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and others, and I truly enjoy making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I can help with feeding, walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and medication administration. I take pride in treating every pet as if they were my own and providing dependable, loving care while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) family members! 🐾 The schedule tends to change, most days during the week I am available anytime from 5 AM to 6:30 AM and anytime after 4:30PM. Every other weekend and I am available all day Saturday and Sundays. I will care for your pets at your home and will bath, feed, walk or anything you need from me! If you’d like to meet before to make you feel more comfortable with me being in your home that is completely fine with me as well!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Rockport is $14 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $14 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.

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 Rockport. 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 Rockport 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 Rockport. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% 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 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.
