“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!”
“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 ;)”
“Samantha is always so caring and attentive with Nala! 🐶💕 She was also very helpful always changing her pee pad and cleaning up Nala’s messes. I really appreciated her help and kindness. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
“Jenin is an absolutely amazing walker! I had a last minute trip and she made time to meet Juniper before I left, leave great detailed summaries of their walks together, and was overall a great communicator.”
“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!”
“I want to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent service provided by Dante. Always punctual and responsible. Dante has cared for our puppy with love and dedication. It gives it was a relief to know that he was in the hands of someone trustworthy. Thank you very much for taking care of him. I recommend Dante without hesitation.”
“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.”
“Amy has been walking our Boston Terrier puppy for some time now - always reliable, always punctual, always sweet and caring with Poppy. Yesterday, she also saved Poppy's life. She arrived to walk her, and before long, she noticed something was wrong. Poppy must have been stung by an insect while I played with her outdoors before work - when Amy arrived, she noted Poppy had a spreading rash, facial swelling, and nausea/diarrhea. It would have taken me a while to leave work, so although she had another dog to walk and then was due at her own work, Amy jumped in her car with Poppy and drove her to the vet hospital, where the vet who called told me Poppy was in the beginning stages of shock. They were able to resuscitate her successfully but had been doubtful at the beginning. Without Amy's selflessness and quick action, Poppy would never have made it until we came home from work. We are eternally grateful.”
“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!”
“Chad was great! They met our dog Clover on the same day as they had their first walk and she was immediately at ease. She can sometimes be skiddish and wary of new people and situations, but she loved Chad right away. We love that Chad lives close and will take Clover on walks to the Boston Commons to see all the flowers and people watch. She's more of a human than a dog, in my opinion, and she really loves time with her trusted people just chilling in the sun. Thanks so much for being her new friend, Chad!”
About: I’m a mom of 3 cats ever since I was 20. I learned how to take care of them by their reactions. I also have experience taking care of ill cats. I’m a freelancer work during the day. I’m free before 10am and after 3pm on weekdays. But schedule can change if needed. Weekends are always welcome. I will be very respectful to clients’ properties. And I will record myself the time I’m in the room with their beloved friends. Definitely respect the pets too.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own.

I offer daytime services like drop-ins, walks, and playtime, and I plan my schedule around the pets I care for. I’m dependable, flexible, and make sure each visit is focused, fun, and tailored to the pet’s needs—whether that’s a long walk, feeding, or some one-on-one attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routines—meal times, potty breaks, walks, and playtime—to reduce stress while their owners are away. I always follow any specific instructions, from medications to feeding preferences, and I give regular updates and photos to keep pet parents in the loop. I’m clean, respectful of the home, and make sure every pet feels at ease while in my care.
About: I've grown up around dogs and love spending time with them. I deeply miss my family dog who I always spoil when I visit. Outside of my family I regularly am my friends go to care taking/ walking person. I'm comfortable with dogs of any size except extra-large breeds. I can also give medication that's mixed into food, though I'm not set up for injections. I live with roommates who also have pet care experience in a quiet household. My schedule is flexible I work from home, so I can offer more consistent attention and some flexibility around visit times. My neighborhood has several parks nearby and is easy and pleasant to walk around, so walks are never just a quick lap around the block. I am currently working part time and am available for weekly or even daily times! My schedule will be updated regularly to reflect any unavailability ahead of time. My home is currently pet free and I have a large living room area they can explore around. Before any pets visit I make sure there isn't anything that they shouldn't interact with. I clean the space and check for any plants that may need to be moved around and I can keep them crated if needed too.

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.

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 Meet & Greet .
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.
