About: I've grown up with and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. From tiny puppies to large lovable seniors, I've been around them all! I'll treat your pup with lots of scritches, belly rubs, and love like they're my own, all while maintaining the level of discipline you keep in your home. I'm comfortable walking on a leash, taking them to a dog park, or just hanging around at home watching whatever is on TV. Dogs are a comforting presence for me, and I'm eager to take care of yours. I'm currently unemployed and am job hunting as we speak, so my schedule is wide open! Whenever you need a caring, watchful eye over your pup, I'll be there. I live by a park, so if I'm dayboarding, there's easy access to green space. If I'm dog walking or dog sitting, I'll follow your lead. You know your pup best, so whatever rules or expectations you have, I'll ensure they're followed and maintained.

Brooke is an excellent dog walker! I could tell from the moment she met my dogs, who are 2 high-energy rescues, that they felt at ease with her. She is professional, kind, and very skilled at walking my 2 crazy fur babies. We're so happy we found her!

I had a great experience with Hannah as a dog walker! She communicated promptly to coordinate everything and took my puppy Luna's schedule into consideration, which I really appreciated. She arrived right on time, took Luna on a nice walk, and sent lots of pictures throughout. Luna looked so happy and comfortable in every photo. It was clear she was in great hands, and I’d happily book with Hannah again!

About: I’ve been dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors since I was in elementary school. I was always the friend who was excited to take everyone’s dog on a walk, even when they were dreading it! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and have experience with feeding, basic medications, long walks, playtime, and keeping routines consistent while owners are away. I’m a dependable, super active animal lover with just under 11 years of experience caring for dogs (walking, pet sitting, drop-ins, overnight stays). I grew up around dogs and helped raise and train my family’s 6-year-old Golden Retriever, Bear, who is the most perfect pooch in the world!! I’d love to help keep your pup active, cared for, and loved whenever you need an extra hand :) I’m currently studying for the LSAT and working part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and love using my free time to stay active. Dog walking and pet care fit really naturally into my routine since I already enjoy getting outside for long walks and being around animals. I’m very attentive to each dog’s routine, comfort level, and personality. I always make sure pets are fed, walked, loved, and kept safe, whether I’m at my home or a client’s. I’m comfortable following specific instructions, giving basic medications, and keeping owners updated so they know their pup is in good hands.

About: I’ve grown up with pets most of my life and am currently a cat mom to a 2 year old tabby named Ringo. Spending time with any animal, big or small, is a huge joy of mine! I go on walks daily, so adding in your furry friend would be seamless and absolutely nothing but a treat for me! I also work remote several days a week, so can stop by to check on your pet when needed. I like to ensure that any pets I interact with are at peace and safe. I would actively seek out any boundaries that your pet is displaying and ensure that our interactions are comfortable for them.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years through pet sitting for family and friends, and I also volunteered with a local animal shelter, where I took dogs on “doggy day trips” for walks and time outside the shelter. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels and always aim to meet each dog where they are! I have a flexible work-from-home schedule, which allows me to offer reliable weekday care including morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, and overnight stays when needed. I focus on calm, consistent care that helps dogs feel safe and relaxed while keeping their routine in place. Outside of pet care, I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors through walking, hiking, and fitness classes! I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and provide regular updates so you always know how your dog is doing. Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine since I work from home with a flexible schedule. This allows me to reliably offer morning walks, midday drop-ins, and evening care during the weekdays, with some additional flexibility on weekends depending on availability. I’m looking to provide steady, dependable care that feels consistent and low-stress for both pets and their owners, rather than occasional or unpredictable bookings. I provide pet care in clients’ homes, focusing on keeping each pet comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine. I follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, and any specific household guidelines. For dogs, I prioritize calm, structured walks with safe leash handling, along with attention, play, and bathroom breaks based on their usual routine. For cats, I provide quiet, respectful care including feeding, litter box cleaning, fresh water, and companionship based on each cat’s comfort level. I also make sure the home is secure while I’m there and send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe and doing well!

About: I have a deep love for all animals, and bond quickly with them. I'm patient and caring, as well as responsible and cautious. I over communicate and will send tons of updates, pictures and videos. I live and work downtown; I am within a few blocks of my apartment and can be flexible to walk and drop in during the day. I have ring cameras that I can set up in my home for boarding, or in your home for day visits, to give piece of mind that your pets are well looked after. I'm happy to board or visit your pets at their home! I have a city apartment with great windows, hardwood floors, lots of sunlight and tons of comfy spaces for kitties/dogs to get comfortable! I am happy visiting in your home as well, and will adjust my cadence to what your pet prefers. I can set up ring cameras to make sure your animals are happy and cared for during the day, and make sure, if they need immediate attention, I’m aware and available .

About: Taken care of dogs, cats, and reptiles ranging in all ages and sizes. Current owner of a 100 lb Bernese Mountain dog, two cats, and a gecko. I am currently working 3 days a week remotely, so I will have plenty of time to walk, care for, and play with your pets! I can do frequent walks, pet daycare, and plenty of check-ins, especially in the Downtown Boston area. I have a friendly Bernese Mountain dog who mostly just sleeps all day and two cats who spend most of the day outside. I can feed, give medicine, walk, play, etc with any cat or dog who needs a home stay. Definitely lots of dog and cat toys available for use!

About: I’ve grown up walking and watching friends and families dogs. From puppies to old dogs, I’ve done it all. Just want to continue to help people and their pets have the best time and get the fun & exercise they deserve! Miss my dog so what better way than to help others with theirs! I work part-time in sports, so my schedule can vary. Some weeks can be busy, some can be completely free. Whenever I’m free, especially weekdays, I’m always available to help. Comfortable providing what the dogs need for exercise, whether that’s walking, fetch, tug of war, etc. I’ve watched dogs of all ages and sizes, so I have done it all.

Megan is great! She took care of our Yorkie, Mochi, for two walking sessions, and Mochi was always so happy when she returned home. Our puppy tends to be reactive during walks, so we provided Megan with a dog walker guide. Megan carefully read through the guide before the first walk and communicated openly and proactively before each walk. We strongly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Charlestown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Charlestown on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 10,729 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Charlestown. 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 Charlestown. 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 Charlestown.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Charlestown. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
