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!

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!

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.

About: I've had dogs my whole life, and have been watching my friends 5 month old lab about 3-4 times a week since he has gotten him. I am off work for the summer so have plenty of time available to walk and watch dogs. I am very active and am hoping to take lots of walks when it's not too hot outside. I have a fenced in yard with a pool and a medium sized crate that can be used if necessary! The dogs love all the smells in my backyard!

About: I have several years of experience as a professional cat sitter, dog walker, pet sitter and doggie foster parent. I enjoy my clients going away as it gives me time to bond with their fur babies. I've worked at a Veterinary Hospital as a Veterinary Technician for several years now. Occasionally I do hiking trips in groups of 6 or less. Medication Administration is definitely something I am educated on and comfortable with doing as needed. I have experience with both small and large dogs. I always schedule a meet and greet prior to booking to make sure your pet and I are a great match. Love to hike, and explore, and find trails with the pups. Willing to work one on one with your pet and build a bond. I really do love working with pets it’s a passion of mine. My availability has currently changed, I am not approving new dog boarding requests . However, I am offering dog walking Monday through Friday at this time. For those of you seeking Cat sitting visits specifically , I do that Sunday through Saturday. I do have a fenced in yard, but we hike a lot. All dogs will be on a 20-30 ft long lead until proofed and consented for off leash. If I have any concerns and or questions, I will reach out time appropriately.

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.
