“Stacy has been a lifesaver. We moved to the Boston area with little notice, and our mini poodle needed a dog walker on the days me and my spouse were at the office. Stacy stepped in and has taken excellent walks, and is super communicative and responsive. Our pooch and we are super happy with Stacy's service.”
“Kisses (my pup) is soooo lucky to have a friend like Suzete! Consistently showing up and being present and patient! Helping Kisses grow out of her comfort zone but always making sure she is safe! She comes back after a walk sooo happy and excited! We love Suzete! She’s the absolute best!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and have walked neighbors' dogs and watched their hamsters, Guinea pigs, and cats since I was 9! I have experience with every type of pet, from puppies to senior cats, and would love to show your animal some love :) I have had the privilege of volunteering with Broken Tail Rescue weekly for over a year, so I am very well-versed in caring for all kinds of cats and dogs. I am a grad student at Harvard University and have a very flexible schedule. I can be available at most reasonable times, just reach out! I will feed, walk, and play with your pets and do other things such as change litter or give meds as needed. I do all of these things with my animals at home!
About: Hello! I am a big animal lover and would love to spend time walking with your dog! Thank you for the trust with your pet! I am artist and book my schedule in advance when I can but still often have openings one week in advance to the day of. I am open to booking regular weekly apts. I am also open to last minute apts if my availability is open for the day. I am unable to bring other animals into my home. At your home I will be respectful of your space and attentive to your pets needs.
“Catherine was a great dog walker! She responded well to my nervous dog and he grew comfortable with her super quick. She always returned my dog well exercised at the end of the walk!”
“Darby stepped in to walk our dog when something came up last minute, and we couldn’t have been more grateful! She was flexible, communicative, and really attentive to our dogs (and cats) needs! We’re so happy we already booked her for another weekend!”
“Holly was so wonderful with Luther; I was a little worried about going on a long trip but at our meet-and-greet we had ample time to talk and she even gave me some advice about some unrelated dog stuff I have been thinking about. I really appreciated all her care and I could tell Luther was so happy to spend time with her out in the sun. Thank you, Holly!”
“Ray is an incredibly wonderful dog sitter, and clearly works really well with my sweet puppy, who is still learning lots about the world and needs gentle guidance. I so appreciate all he does to support and reinforce her training, on the leash and off.”
About: I have multiple cats and dogs at home with my parents and grew up surrounded by animals. I can’t wait to have my own once I’m more settled, but in the meantime, I would love to help you take of your dog if you are needing some extra support! I’m currently working as a therapist where I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, giving me a bit more flexibility for walks as needed throughout the day. On the weekends, I will always try to bring dogs around with me out and about or to a park so they can play and get some energy out! I always make sure to do one long walk each day other then potty breaks. I also love to snuggle up with dogs on the couch while relaxing and reading a book or watching a movie!
“Anna was so good to my puppy, Jelly Bean. She offered to come over the day before her first visit to get acquainted with Jelly Bean and what she would be doing on her visit. Anna was extremely kind, patient and flexible - I could not have asked for a better introduction to Rover and dog walking, in general.”
About: I have always grown up with dogs and absolutely adore them. I see myself in them and love to play and cuddle and would just love to have a little shadow around! I'm in law school which means my schedule is very flexible. I have early morning classes three days a week and no classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and have very free weekends! I have a fenced in yard for quick bathroom breaks and play time. I live in a pet friendly home as my old roommate had a dog and my new roommate has a cat.
“Heather is reliable and kind. She comes weekly to walk our pup and she always shows up on time, walks her for the allotted time, and sends us pictures. She is easy to communicate with and highly responsive. We could recommend Heather to anyone looking for a trusted person to watch their dog!”

Alissa took excellent care of Pico while we were out of town. She was very communicative, and made sure she had proper care instructions before her first walk. She provided great details after each walk, and took lots of pictures! Pico clearly loved spending time with her. We would definitely book again in the future!

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 Cambridge. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
