About: While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for pets. I’ve had two cats for the past 4 years and have pet sat for friends and family when they’ve needed help. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow whatever routine and instructions help you and your pet feel most comfortable. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. I work full-time (6am-2pm) as a scientist, so I’m generally available for afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. My schedule can be flexible though to accommodate for early morning visits. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and make sure I can give your pet the time and attention they need before accepting a booking. I use Rover myself so I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable until you’re back. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.
“Cooper is so communicative and goes above and beyond with my dog Clementine! I would highly recommend her and I’m looking forward to having her as a consistent dog walker for my pup!”
“Emily is reliable, consistent, and flexible. She provides thorough updates of her walks with pictures and feedback. I trust her 100% to care for my one year old Maltipoo, Milo. Highly recommended!”
“Elliot was thoughtful about the hot weather and took great care of River on his walk, giving him water during and after. I got great updates and trusted he could pick up & drop off while we were away from the house.”
About: I have over 13 years of experience pet sitting! I have experience with day visits and overnights as well as boarding at my apartment. I am trustworthy with animals that have medication regimes. Most of my jobs have been caring for dogs or cats but I also have experience with rabbits and once, a pet rat! Leaving your pup for any amount of time can be stressful on you and them. My main goal is to lessen that stress for both and treat your pup like my own. I currently have an 8 year old lab mix who loves to have dog company! If your pup loves taking walks and endless cuddles, I’m the sitter for you! I currently work from home on Tuesdays and I am off work by 4pm during the week! I am also pretty open on the weekends. I live in a large apartment that allows for a few good runs of fetch. However, I live by many walking paths with great views and a lot of space. My apartment complex also has a designated area outside for walking and the bathroom. All furniture and bed is dog friendly but there is space to bring a crate if preferred! At your home, all house rules will be respected.
“Samantha is a great communicator and caretaker. Samantha is a regular dogwalker for my medium/large rescue lab/shepherd mix named Tofu, who has some level of anxiety. Samantha always updates me if there are changes in schedule or with Tofu’s behaviors during the walk. Samantha also asks questions and is attentive to Tofu’s needs, and has been building a positive consistent relationship. Thank you, Samantha for giving Tofu the exercise he needs!”
“Muller can be a little apprehensive about strangers and Alice was able to settle him down and get him on a walk. She is great, and we will definitely schedule walks in the future!”
“Michael is very responsive, flexible and dedicated. He gives me regular update and takes dog walking to the next level. You can tell that he enjoys it. I’m a repeat client ;)”
About: My pet care experience comes from having my own pets, caring for family and friends, volunteering, and working as a veterinary technician. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, including shy, anxious, young, and senior pets. I’m skilled in administering medications and vaccines, and I create a calm, safe, and loving environment, tailoring attention and activities to each pet’s individual needs so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home so I have flexible availability. Im available for multiple walks a day if needed or even pop up if you needed someone to check in on your fur baby. I have a friendly dog who will play with your pup or take naps for those who are passed the puppy stage. I can do light basic training
“Sloane is consistent and shows up on time for her walk and always makes sure to take Charlie on the full walk! She sends great pictures and I can tell Charlie has the best time with her!”
“Lexi was so great with my dog! My dog, Maddie, can get a little wild and really does not like other dogs, which can be a bit challenging in my neighborhood where almost everyone has a dog. Lexi walked Maddie for three days in a row while I was gone all day for a training, and she seemed to navigate these challenges with ease. She was really easy to communicate with, sent me cute pics to make me smile during my long days, and followed directions perfectly. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any dog owner, and I will definitely be checking her availability the next time I need someone for a mid-day walk! Thank you, Lexi!”
“Great having a meet and greet, appreciated her hard work in getting into the building when the concierge wasn’t around. Masiel is very responsive and flexible and the dogs loved walking with her! Loved getting photos of their walk together.”
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.
About: I have been a dog lover all my life! I recently moved to Boston from my childhood home where I grew up with 2 labs who I love more than anything. I have fostered over 30 rescue puppies from the streets of Aruba so I am familiar with puppy care as well as behavioral issues. In college I fostered and trained service dogs/puppies for a non profit. I work from home full time and love to get out and take long walks especially with a furry companion! I have experience walking dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I treat every dog like my own. I have experience with rescue dogs so I know the patience and respect it takes to earn a dogs trust.
“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!”
“Ann was so sweet dreams 🛌 th my dog who usually has a hard time with new introductions (lots of scary barking). Ann took the time to read the information I provided to best approach Kikkan and make the intro as smooth as could be! She was also super responsive on short notice.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Charlestown is $25

Madeline was so flexible, communicative and great with Naia! My dog was having an off shy day for Madeline’s first walk, and she was totally open to trying out different things, having naia warm up to her slowly and then trying again the next week. It went much better the next week, and she sent me lots of photos and detailed updates. I look forward to having her watch naia again
Thank you Suzette for the last minute ask of you!! Brady is doing fine. Just a lot for her to handle and she is also getting used to have a little brother. They are home and resting today. We appreciate how much time and effort you put into taking care of them. You really did a phenomenal job and communicated well We appreciate that!!!
Yuting has done such an amazing job with my puppy Macy over the last month. She has consistently been on time to take Macy on her weekly walks and goes above and beyond to make sure she has water after the walks and treats to help ease her anxiety prior to her leaving. She is great with communication; always checking in and confirming times for walks. She is very flexible and often is able to accommodate needs on a short notice. She has been nothing short of amazing and I highly recommend her! (P.S. She's great with puppies!)
Lauren treats Coco as if she is her own dog. She ensures Coco gets activity, has enough water and food. Coco loves spending time with Lauren and we’re so grateful for the care and love Lauren demonstrates with her. Highly recommend Lauren for dog sitting or walking.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Charlestown on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 10,661 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.

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
- 95% 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.
