About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with family dogs, and loved my own dogs and cats as a pet parent, so I’m very comfortable caring for both. I am also a volunteer at the Humane Society London & Middlesex. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and little quirks. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, litter care and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. I am also comfortable and experienced with administering basic medications if necessary. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to spend time with pets while house sitting, providing regular outdoor breaks, companionship and supervision throughout the day. My laptop is pretty easy to carry anywhere! For house sitting visits that are overnight, my husband and I will often work as a team, especially if there is more than 1 dog involved to provide the best possible care. Let me know in the request if for some reason you prefer just me (ex. If your animal is more comfortable with females or something). Most importantly, I know how much trust is involved in leaving both your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I’d want for my own — and I’m always happy to send plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. 🐾 I work remotely from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my day. I can easily bring my laptop with me while house sitting, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day rather than being away for long stretches. As long as I have Wi-Fi and a place to plug in, I’m all set! This makes it easy for me to provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime and lots of companionship. Pets in my care are treated like family. I know how important routines, comfort and consistency are, so I’ll always follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed and loved while you’re away. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and mindful of things like secure doors and gates, feeding schedules, medications, walks and any special routines your pet may have. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing they’re in good hands.

About: Very familiar and comfortable with taking care of dogs - I’m a registered veterinary technician who works full time at a vet hospital, I used to be a kennel attendant at a canine boarding facility + doggy daycare, and my family has had dogs of all sizes since I was a kid. I currently work full time Monday-Friday at a veterinary hospital, but daily at-home visits, walks, or weekend stays are feasible for me. I’m available Fridays after 3pm until Monday mornings. Daily at-home visits and/or walks can be tailored to specific needs for each pet I always try to ensure the pet feels comfortable with me in their space, I usually like to meet them with their owner first, and building a connection with both owner and pet is a priority to me. Aside from the basics of ensuring they get adequate amounts of time outside either through a fenced yard or on a walk, having water available at all times, sticking to a feeding schedule, I also try to ensure owners are in-touch and informed while away from their pet - I enjoy sending updates and photos to owners so they can see what their pet is up to.

About: I specialize in caring for high-energy dogs who need more than just a walk. As the owner of a young, energetic American Labrador, Reni, I understand how important exercise, patience, enrichment, and mental stimulation are for dogs with lots of energy. Reni has taught me how to channel that energy in positive ways through training, enrichment activities, scent work, and engaging play. I’ve loved dogs my entire life and grew up with family dogs and other animals. I also have experience caring for neighbours’ pets and have developed hands-on experience with positive reinforcement and managing some dog reactivity through my own dog. I’m patient, reliable, and passionate about helping high-energy dogs feel happy, fulfilled, and well cared for. I work an 8am-4pm schedule from home, allowing for some flexibility during the day and I can largely accomodate walks before and after work and on weekends. I strive to make your time away as stress free as possible for your pet. By following their regular routine and giving them plenty of attention, affection and excercise.

About: I’ve taken care of, walked, fed, and watched my dogs throughout my life. I have four dogs currently, they’re the best! Whenever my family goes out of town, I watch the dogs for a few days. I’m in charge of giving the dogs their medications, feeding them, walking them etc. I would love to help others looking for someone to watch or walk their dog(s). I am in grad school every morning during the week except Friday. I’m free afternoons during the week most days and most weekends. If you’d like a more detailed schedule, I can discuss that with you because sometimes I have appointments or meetings during the week. I won’t be able to bring your dog to my house, but I would be happy to watch your dog at your place! I will ensure your dog has fresh water, food at mealtimes, I will let him or her outside frequently, walk your dog, play with them, and spend time with them.

About: I've had the privilege of growing up with dogs since I was little, so their day to day needs come naturally to me. Around 10 years old I took my love for animals to a new level by beginning to walk dogs in my neighborhood. The families that I worked for trusted me to care for their fur babies and I loved each of them as if they were my own. Over the years I have worked with a variety of dogs, small and large breeds, sweet & easy going dogs, reactive / more difficult dogs, and rescue as well. At the age of 21 I began working at a veterinary clinic and currently still work within the industry. The experience has given me immense hands-on knowledge and a deeper understanding of the medical side of pet care, animal welfare and everything it truly means to be a responsible pet owner. I believe the combination of my personal & professional experience as well as genuine love for animals sets me apart. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable and loved and would be honored to provide that same level of care for your pets too. Caring for animals is part of both my personal and professional life. I currently work full-time in a veterinary clinic and love spending my free time caring for pets as well (my own dog included!). I'm currrently available for evening drop-ins during the week and dog walks or additional care on the weekends! My top priority is ensuring that your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they are in my home or their own familiar environment. Every pet has different needs and routines, so I do my best to follow their schedule as closely as possible to keep things stress-free and make them feel happy and comfortable. I provide lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, walks, and whatever else may be needed for each individual dog. With my experience in the veterinary field, I pay close attention to behavior, comfort levels, and overall wellbeing to ensure your pet is receiving the best possible care while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for my beloved Cockapoo for over three years. Together, we’ve traveled the world — from Turkey to China, Canada, and the U.S. These experiences have taught me how to keep pets calm and happy in new environments. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on each pet’s comfort and unique personality. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy senior, I’ll care for them like they’re family. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I start each morning with a walk and playtime, and I always make time throughout the day for feeding, bathroom breaks, and cuddles. On weekends, I often explore pet-friendly parks and trails. Since I already care for my own dog daily, integrating another pet into my routine feels seamless and joyful. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and make sure each pet gets the attention and activity they need to feel happy and secure. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and calm. I keep dangerous objects out of reach, monitor doors and gates carefully, and follow the pet’s daily routine as closely as possible. I take time to build trust by approaching animals gently and respectfully, and I always provide lots of love, attention, and care to make them feel at ease — like they’re right at home.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Dorchester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Dorchester is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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.

There are 573 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Dorchester. About 82% of Dorchester sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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

Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.

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 Dorchester 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find walkers in Dorchester with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Dorchester choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
