“My Dad’s dog, David (yes, that’s the dog name bestowed upon him by the shelter!), just had his first walk with Maddie. My Dad said Maddie was very friendly and David enjoyed his walk!! Maddie responded to my request for this walk right away and has been easy to work with. I appreciate her understanding in that I’m coordinating these walks for my Dad. So far so good!! We are happy with Maddie and will continue to have her walk David!”
About: I have always had a dog growing up and miss spending time with them! My sister currently has two dogs that I love to spend time with! I currently work Monday-Friday but would love to help out on weekends. I could potentially help out in the early mornings and evenings as well, reach out if you need services in the mornings or evenings! I will follow the instructions that you provide and I’m happier to share photos as well! I want the dogs to feel comfortable and love their best life!
About: Hi! I’m AmieGrace, and I’ve always been an animal lover who treats pets like part of the family. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities—from energetic pups who love long walks to more relaxed pets who just want companionship. I’m attentive, patient, and big on communication, so you’ll always get updates and photos while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in your absence. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m reliable, punctual, and happy to adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that means early walks, mid-day check-ins, or overnight care. I keep my calendar updated and respond quickly to messages. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. I respect your home and aim to leave it just as I found it—clean, secure, and well cared for. I’m attentive to your pet’s behavior and comfort, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
“Very reliable, kind, and assuring. Never felt worried about our pup while Kendall was there. Traveled out of town and quickly learned that we could rest easy knowing she would be there on time to give some genuine love to our pup. Very flexible with scheduling and easy to work with. 10/10 dog walker experience.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 202 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Acton. 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 Acton. 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 Acton 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 Acton. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
