“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!”
“Jeffrey is amazing! He was on time, personable and professional. He was patient with my dog and now Finn runs right away to Jeffrey. Rover is lucky to have him! As are we!”
“Louca worked wonders for us and our super reactive miniature dachshund. His patience, knowledge, and professional and positive attitude were a huge relief after searching for and failing to find someone to look after our dog when we were away for short periods. Louca has given us so much hope for our little puppy’s future and we look forward to working with him again! Thank you Louca !!”
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.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my hands-on experience caring for pets every day. I help my mom care for our two dogs and also have three cats of my own, so I'm very familiar with the daily needs, routines, and personalities of both dogs and cats. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply giving them attention and affection, I treat every pet like they're part of the family. While I don't have professional training experience, I'm comfortable caring for pets of different ages and energy levels, including puppies who need extra patience and supervision, as well as senior pets who may require a gentler approach and more attentive care. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with dogs and cats. My goal is to make sure every pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already help care for my family's two dogs and three cats. I'm used to feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning up after pets, giving them attention, and making sure they're comfortable and happy throughout the day. Since I'm home for the summer, my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship. I have plenty of availability throughout the week and can adjust my routine to meet the specific needs of each pet and their owner. My flexible schedule also means I can provide consistent care and give pets the attention they deserve. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I enjoy playing fetch, giving them lots of attention, and spending quality time snuggling and bonding with them. I often join my mom on long walks with our dogs, so I am comfortable exercising and caring for pets of different energy levels. I am responsible, patient, and knowledgeable about basic pet care, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning up after pets, and following their daily routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make their well-being my top priority.

“Mark has been fantastic! He comes in and greets Charlie as though she is his own. He even deals with her excitement jumping and hand biting which is her way of saying “hi”. He’s been extremely patient with her as she’s been a little weird on her walks and not always the most agreeable. Mark is always very responsive and communicative. I would highly recommend Mark!”
About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs for a long time, I had a dog when I was growing up, who I walked a lot and played with every day. When he got older, I drove him to his cancer treatments at a specialist vet, and to his radiation treatments. Most of my friends growing up also had pets that I played with and saw regularly, and I've house-sat and pet-sit for several of my friends and neighbors. I have a lot of time to dedicate to caring for pets! I am currently in between jobs in my career and have plenty of time to look after other's pets! I have a pet-friendly apartment with a space for dogs to run around, and a huge field next to my apartment which is perfect for playing fetch. I also love going on hikes and being outside, which is ideal for dogs that need walking. At home, I regularly play with my cat and feed her on a schedule that she is familiar with!
About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. Fostering dogs with my family when I was young and learning how to train them to do basic skills such as sitting, staying, and lying down. I have been walking and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and clients for over 5 years. I am readily available for your pets needs now. I am free most hours and days of the week, so don’t be afraid to reach out! I know what it takes to have your own pets, as I have two dogs myself. I will care for your pets as if they are my own, because I know I would want the same care for mine. I am currently looking for a part-time job before I go back to college. I have a very available and free schedule for summer before I go back to Syracuse University in the fall. I have two dogs at home I take out, train, and feed daily. I can offer you assistance in training your dog, as well as feeding and exercising them. I love to work with dogs and am happy to work with all kinds of demeanors and sizes.
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life. I have dog sat for numerous families over 10 years from puppies to elder dogs, no matter the size.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 9,554 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Boylston. 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 your Boylston. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Boylston.

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 Boylston. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
