About: Adopting Benny, our now 6-year-old Australian Shepherd mix, has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences of our lives. He came to us as a rescue, full of potential but also in need of patience, consistency, and care. Australian Shepherds are known for their intelligence, energy, and sensitivity—and Benny is no exception. From daily walks and mental stimulation to routine training and lots of affection, caring for him has been a constant, joyful commitment. He thrives on structure and attention, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch him grow more confident and connected as the years go by. Benny has taught us so much about resilience, communication, and the powerful bond that forms between a pet and their family. He’s not just a pet—he’s truly part of our family. Pet care is a daily routine for me. I'm the one who feeds, brushes, spends time with Benny and walks him on a daily basis. I provide nothing but the best for Benny. He gets toppers on his food, supplements, daily attention and walks. I'am trustworthy, reliable and will treat your animals as if they were my own.
“Had a great experience! Angelina was punctual, friendly, and took my pup on a nice 30-minute walk. Everything went smoothly, and my dog came back happy and relaxed. Highly recommend!”

“Annabella has truly been remarkable. Tank is extremely particular about who he likes and doesn’t like. Annabella took the time to set up a meeting prior to accepting walking Tank, and they hit it off right away. This is the first regular dog walker Tank has ever had, and he is completely spoiled because there is certainly no one better out there than Annabella. She is always early and excited to see Tank, as he is equally excited to see her. I couldn’t have asked for a better fit for Tank! Thank you Annabella for being amazing”

“Ria took such amazing care of my two dogs. Her care and attention is evident in her communication and the dogs absolutely loved her. (They're watching for her to come back today.)”
“Dina and Jason provided extra support (walking daily) for our dog while we were away on vacation. We could not have been more pleased. They treated our dog like it was their own. They took her for a great walk every afternoon. We would absolutely work with them again!”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was in preschool. They’re my favorite furry buddies in the whole world! I have experience caring for my dogs, not only providing them love but attention as well. One of my dogs had diabetes and needed daily insulin shots and to be let outside regularly. My care of him gave me some additional caretaker skills! I have a dog right now and I have to look after her daily. Whether it’s feeding her, giving her kisses, or taking her for a walk, my day consists of providing attention for my pet! I am always vigilant when it comes to my pet. I watch my dog and pay attention to her cues, making sure that all of her needs are met.

By having a dog, I’ve been able to read body language really well, which allows me to remove my pet from a potentially dangerous situation.
About: Hello! My name is Katherine and my experience with animals has ranged from volunteering to in home sitting. I am so excited to offer my services and meet your furry friends. Not only do I love meeting new breeds, but I care about their health and wellbeing. My weekly visits to my local animal shelter gives me a chance to showcase my passion for helping dogs who lost their homes. My volunteer experience includes walking, feeding, and caring for various breeds of all sizes! These visits have made me familiar with a dog’s body language that may signal how they are feeling. We meet many new dogs each week that are new to this environment and may be very nervous and timid. This also has given me a chance to learn how I can gain a dog’s trust with friendly mannerisms. I can’t wait to get started on Rover and meet your furry little friends! I have recently graduated with a bachelors degree from college and am looking for opportunities to spend time with animals. Currently, I have a part-time job and have lots of time to care for and visit any animals needing company throughout the week. My dog at home gets daily walks and has a runner in my backyard for when she needs to go outside. I often give her treats when she is being a good girl and notice if she needs to use the bathroom outside. At my local shelter, I am able to feed large and small dogs and leash dogs who are unfamiliar with me. I tend to make sure my posture and manners are friendly with all the pups! I also make sure to notice when a dog needs praising and do not ignore their good behavior!

Marc has been a wonderful addition to our routine with Odin. At 12 and with some loss of full control of his back legs, Marc lets Odin dictate walk duration and pace, but always spends quality time with him regardless. We look forward to his thoughtful updates and entertaining photos.
Anindita is lovely to work with and very professional. She is always wonderfully communicative and I feel at ease with her caring for my pup. She gives so much love to Dante I can tell how much he enjoys his time with her. She is mindful of not just his physical health but also is cognitive wellbeing which always helps make Dante’s time with her so wonderful.

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 Acton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
