About: My love for pets started 13 years ago when I got my first Samoyed during my freshman year of college. The following year, I welcomed a Husky into my apartment. After graduating, I became a cat owner as well and have cared for three cats over the years. Having lived with both dogs and cats for so long, I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m home most of the day aside from going to the gym. This gives me plenty of time to care for, play with, and spend time with your pets throughout the day. I have a spacious home with a large yard where dogs have plenty of room to relax and play. Depending on your dog’s preferences and routine, they can spend most of their time comfortably indoors or enjoy more time outside in the yard. I’ll always follow your care instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.
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.
“Susannah comes to our house twice a week to take our dog out for a stroll. She is very reliable, comes on time and is very responsive. Would recommend her to a friend.”

“We were scrambling to book a sitter for our pups when we had to make last minute travel plans for work. Jayliana was quick to respond and confirmed her availability. Our pups immediately warmed up to her and we were very impressed with her ability to get our antisocial cat to play and cuddle with her. Jayliana was very attentive to our pups needs and communicated frequently with updates for peace of mind. She even sent us pictures and videos which made us feel like we were back home with our fur babies! I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter and I will definitely look to book with her again. Jayliana is very kind, detail oriented, and has a genuine love for animals. We are lucky to have found her and are happy that our pets have a new friend in her!”

“Pilar has been so helpful. She is always very responsive and available. She has been wonderful with Baxter. There was a time when she was walking him and he heard shooting range and panicked. Instead of bringing him right back inside without a walk she sat with him and calmed him down and then was able to get him to walk again. He is clearly comfortable with her and enjoys his time with her!”


About: Long term pet parent and lover of animals. I am known for adopting animals in need of homes. I have had 3 cats and a dog over the past 10 years and most recently a turtle. My dog passed away in 2025 from cancer and I miss having my buddy around. I am not ready for a new dog so I am happy to spend time with yours. I currently have 2 kitties at home, one of which is a blind 1 year old. I work from home most days, but do travel occasionally for work. Please feel free to reach out, I have time to spare. I'm happy to assist you and your furbabies. I work remotely from home during the week and have availability to pop over for a walk, bathroom break or food assist. Since I work from home they can even hang out with me all day either inside or in my large fenced in yard. I have 2 cats who might be a little shy but are friendly. They have been around dogs and will hide if a dog is just too much energy. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for zoomies. I also have a crate, toys and bed for your dog.

About: I have 15+ years in dog sitting / animal care experience. I am a dog trainer by profession. (8+ years). I'm an active full time dog trainer, training all types of dogs, excelling in puppies, behavioral dogs, reactive dogs, and even "dangerous" dogs. Animals are my passion and I strive to provide the best care and attention for said animals in need. I currently work full time as a professional dog trainer and kennel attendant. I typically work a regular shift of 7am to 3pm, so I am available for late afternoon and evening pet care. (More availability on weekends) I have a 2.5 year old lab who is extremely friendly with other dogs, animals, adults, young children and babies. If I were to take your dog home (my home) it is a secure, safe house with a fenced yard, as well as crates if needed / requested. (My dog is crate trained and I have extra crates).
“Ben has been great with our new puppy! He’s very patient, and was able to take the time to get our puppy to warm up to him. He’s also very punctual and professional. We’ll defiantly be using Ben in the future!”

About: Hello -- We're Renee & Renee. We have one very well behaved canine and while his disposition (and food motivation) has a lot to do with it - we like to think of ourselves as a good trainer. I have lots of love for doggies of all breeds, sizes, etc. We work together to care for your animals: drop ins, feeding, walking, dog-sitting, day care - you name it! One of us is always home with the animals while we watch them. Let me know your pet's quirks and foibles - and we can see if we might be good fit for you! I have a very flexible WFH business so I have lots of time to dedicate to doggy play dates, feedings, walking, and more. If we agree to it - we can do it. We live in a large home in Worcester, MA. I am able to take your dogs on walks in your neighborhood or in a nearby park. If you need me to feed your animals or play with them - I'll want details instructions on how to find the appropriate materials! If I am boarding your animal with me -- we'll want to download on your individual pet's needs, preferences, likes/dislikes.
“Charles is great! She accepted our last minute request and did an amazing job with our three pups! She gained new loyal clients for sure. Thank you Chelsea! You will be highly recommended to our friends and family.”

About: I care for dogs like no other. They are there for for you when your down and are the best. I want to be sure they are taken care of. Right now I have a flexible schedule. Any day of the week works pretty much for me right now. Early morning to afternoon is good. Make sure I have what I need to keep them safe. Make sure they have a crate or fence in their home. Or if the dog is okay off leash.
About: I have been taking care of our bull dogs for seven years now. We adopt and had three before our oldest recently passed away. Bull dogs provide quite a bit of high maintenance care such as cleaning all folds multiple times a day, tail pockets, monitoring skin for yeast or allergies and of course… wiping butts after potty time. At least two walks or forms of exercise a day to keep them in shape for their health and breathing issues; if you see my babies photos, they are in super shape! So caring for three I feel shows my love, responsibility, managing skills and understanding of how to properly and lovingly care for pets. For many years now, I have also cared for a variety of my family members dogs and cats, whether that involves feeding, walking/ exercise, over nights, and loving attention. I am Corporate Life Coach & Counselor so I have a flexible schedule that I make myself, in a variety of towns in Massachusetts ( which is why my radius is so big) I also have a rental house in Dennisport MA, so providing pet care in the Cape is an option too! I love my fur-babies and providing love, exercise and quality time is what your pet deserves too! I will be providing services at your household, so any and all safety protocol will be provided that suits you and your pet to the fullest!
About: I've been a dog lover and owner for over 50 years. I currently rent a condo that doesn't allow dogs and I miss The joy of a happy dog. I can work with any dog-from puppies to seniors. I have plenty of time to care and love your puppy/dog! I will also make available weekend visits for your dog in your home. I'm VERY confident your dog will like me because I will treat them like royalty! All of my visits (walks or sitting) must be in your home. I live in a condo that doesn't allow dogs. I promise to provide exceptional service.
“Jaylese was great, always communicating with me when headed over to do a walk, and she used all the features of the app to inform me about the dog’s activities and the walking route taken. Jaylese has a very nice personality, strives to be on time every visit, and she (along with her husband) bonded with my two dogs quickly- it’s clear that they both love animals. I haven’t used a person whom I didn’t know to walk my dogs before, but after meeting Jaylese I handed my keys over to her, and now trust her implicitly to respect my apartment and care for my dogs. PI have no hesitation about recommending her to anyone- and Jaylese will be the first person I reach out to when I need her services again!! ??”

We had such a great experience with Rebecca! She was incredibly attentive and caring, and Mazie was comfortable with her from the very first moment they met. She kept me updated with great communication and was so flexible and accommodating. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Mazie was in such good hands. We would definitely recommend her and will absolutely be using her again! 🐾❤️

The average cost of Dog Walking in Boxborough is $38 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $39 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.

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 Boxborough. 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 Boxborough 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 Boxborough. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
