About: With over 50 years of experience caring for my own dogs—from Chihuahuas to Cane Corsos—I bring a lifetime of hands-on care and a love of animals to every pet I look after. I understand that each dog has a unique personality and individual needs, and I offer patient, attentive care to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a retired, disabled Navy veteran. My toy poodle Cooper keeps me on a fairly open schedule. After breakfast we walk about a mile and a half. After that I have plenty of time throughout my day to visit other dogs and puppies for drop in visits, walks and house sitting. know how important routine is for dogs, so I’ll follow the schedule you provide to help keep your dog safe, healthy, and happy while in my care.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every size, shape, and breed since I was roughly 8. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m very reasonably priced, and as a veterinary technician of 5+ years and a graduate of Jefferson State’s Veterinary Technology program, I have the specialized training for giving medications and what to do should an emergency arise! I am familiar with emergency medicine and have worked in an ER setting for almost a year. I’m currently taking a break from veterinary medicine to study for my state licensing exam to become a licensed veterinary technician! This has freed my schedule up to provide more care for pets! My weekends are considerably more free but I can provide morning or afternoon/evening drop ins! I have a large yard that is completely fenced! I crate my own pets when I am not home so I am happy to stop in and let your crated pets out for potty breaks! I adhere to feeding/bathroom/medication schedules to a T.
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, tortoises, spiders, chickens, fish and ferrets. I'm open minded and love to serve animals. I love pet care as much as I love child care essentially. I work part time, The rest of the time is freeform art/ music time for me. This lifestyle makes it easy for me to pet sit because I make my own schedule. I also enjoy having more time to just sit and care for a pet because it's a chance to slow down and be present. I do well in clients homes, I've been a trusted house sitter for 6+ years and I've housesat in new York, California, Georgia and Alabama. I follow instructions well and I treat animals with equal care to a human.
“I had a great meet and greet with her! She took the time to listen to all of my instructions and made me feel confident that my girls would be in good hands if I need her. She's also been incredibly flexible and is willing to be on standby in case my partner has to travel for work during my birthday trip. That gives me so much peace of mind while I'm preparing for my trip and while I'm away. I really appreciate her communication, patience, and willingness to work with my situation. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets as long as I can remember! I have learned a lot about pet care over the years, including what it takes to keep them healthy and what to do in cases of injury. I take all I know and use it to try to create a better experience for all furry little dudes and dudettes! Pet care is already an everyday task for me. Getting the opportunity to take care of more furry little guys would fit right into my normal daily routine! I care for the animals around me like I would care for humans around me. If there’s anything unsafe, it will be handled immediately! Other than safety, I like to ensure the pets around me have adequate food, treats, exercise time, and affection.
About: I love making sure pups of all ages are well taken care of. I have always been great with walks, baths, and tiring them out for when you get home. I am a working pet auntie so I know how hard it is to tire out babies after working all day or needs a break on a weekend. I am available all day on national holidays and weekends with enough notice. While out of the home, I am always very vigilant and am very great about keeping an eye on your baby and the surroundings. I have a pup of my own if your baby ever needs some companionship.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs while babysitting, I’ve taken care of plenty of pets from this app, I provided exercise, entertainment, and care for them. I also have experience with older dogs who require more care or medicine. People have relied on me to walk, feed, and stay with their pets for days at a time. I’m currently in school so I have plenty of time in the afternoon and evenings, and am generally most available Wed-Sun! I love to spend time with animals since I have my own at home:) I can feed pets, go on frequent walks, get them to play with toys if they have any, change litter boxes, stay overnight to ensure the safety of the home and pets. I always make sure to leave the house clean and everything in the place it should be
“Lindsey was fantastic! We booked her as our first ever Rover super last minute and she was able to squeeze us in, along with a same day meet & greet so we were all more comfortable. She truly went above and beyond sending us updates and pictures for each of her visits and giving our dog plenty of play time and attention while we were away! She was a great help and we will definitely book again!”
About: Hey there! My name is Bailee and I have 5 fur babies of my own. My daughter and my pets make my whole world go around. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, cows, reptiles, and so many more animals! Growing up I would always pet sit for family and friends. Now that I have gotten a little older, I even train dogs on the side. I also rescue and re-home animals that need me. While I did not make a full time career out of pet care, I still can’t let it go completely. I am looking forward to adding your pets to my heart! I am currently working part time and will have plenty of time to care for all of your babies whenever you need me. My schedule will eventually change and more days will be added! I have a fenced in yard and have fur babies of my own to accompany yours. I also have crates in my home and could easily crate your babies if need be. For your home, I am open to whatever your normal routine is for your babies.

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 Boylston. 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 Boylston after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
