“Jenin is always so caring and kind with our very energetic and mischievous 4 month old puppy. We know our dog is in good hands and he is always so happy to see her. We would recommend anyone to Jenin!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple types of pets through sitting and working at a petting zoo. I am an animal lover myself who is excited to interact with your pet and give them the love and care they need! I’m currently doing school at nights twice a week so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. Available any day as needed! I am able to spend time with your pet while being respectful of your space, knowing that animals thrive in an environment they are used to.
About: I've always had a dog growing up, lived with cats for many years, and have been house sitting for four years in many states across the US! I don't have any pets, children, plants, etc. to take care of that are my own - so very available for other peoples pets! Outside of pet sitting, I am a Clinical Psychology PhD Student at Suffolk University. I have class all day Monday, but am flexible Tuesday through Friday. *Disclaimer: I do not currently own a car! In the clients home, I always respect the space and am sure to leave the space cleaner than I found it, but open to client preferences with what to clean versus leave be 😊
About: I’ve been around dogs and animals my entire life and have always had a huge heart for them. My grandpa was a veterinarian, so growing up I had the opportunity to help him care for animals and became comfortable around pets with all different personalities and needs. I also have a mini Goldendoodle of my own who I truly treat like my little kid! 🐾 I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I recently finished my master’s degree at Northeastern University and am currently doing remote work while looking for my next full-time position, so my schedule is very open and flexible! I’m home most days and have plenty of availability throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, and spending time with your pets. I’m also flexible with timing and happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I’ll always treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow any instructions you leave, keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they’re comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy and being well taken care of!
“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 really good for my dog Nala, a 6y old husky. Will always text me before walk and let me know she is on her way and communication is good! Always have pictures from the walks with my girl”
“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!”
About: Energetic, motivated, hardworking graduate student seeking pet-sitting work. I take 1+ hour walks throughout the city on a daily basis, and would love to include a dog! I have 13 years of pet care experience from my dog (yellow Labrador retriever) who recently passed at 13. I have a flexible schedule as the majority of my work is online/ self-paced! I am currently a graduate student. My schedule is very flexible and self-paced (with the exception of Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, where I am only available in the evenings.) Weekends, Tuesdays, and Fridays I am very available and would love to include a dog on my daily walks! In a clients home, I feel confident using any care resources available for the pet. Whether that is crating, bedding, edible treats/reinforcements, fenced yards, etc.
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
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’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy pets, and I’m always reliable and communicative. Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine. 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 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 always been an animal lover and have plenty of experience caring for pets of all personalities and sizes. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, giving lots of attention, and keeping pets on their normal routines while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. I’m currently a graduate student at Boston College with a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, feedings, playtime, check-ins, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I love spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep them comfortable and stick to their normal routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special routines your pet is used to. I make sure they get plenty of attention and love while also respecting their space and your home. I’m also happy to send regular pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away!

Christianna was very patient with Ritchie, who can be shy and nervous with new people. She gave him the time he needed to feel comfortable and kept me updated on how everything went. She was responsive, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the process. I really appreciated her patience with him!
Faith was the most helpful! We booked her last minute and she accommodated all of my questions/changes enthusiastically. Her love for our pups was felt from 300 miles away and the peace of mind she gave us that they were being well cared for meant the world. Will definitely book again! Thank you faith! Highly recommend!
Lily has been going on walks with Isabel for the past week, and she has been absolutely wonderful! Isabel has such a warm, enthusiastic energy and clearly genuinely loves spending time with dogs, and Lily has been so happy going on his long walks with her. She’s incredibly thoughtful and attentive, always making sure his water is filled, and when Lily had an unexpected accident in the house one day, she even went above and beyond to clean it up for us. She’s also very knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior, wonderfully communicative and understanding, and just an absolute pleasure to work with. I’m so appreciative of the care and enthusiasm she brings to every walk!
Liliboo has been going on walks with Lynne for quite a while now, and she has been absolutely wonderful with him! He’s always so happy to see her, and Lynne is incredibly reliable, communicative, flexible, and easy to work with. Most recently, I reached out on very short notice because of an unexpected situation, and she was so understanding and accommodating and made it work for us. I’m always so appreciative of how wonderful she is with Liliboo and how much I can count on her!
Sam was wonderful! She was very communicative, helpful, and attentive throughout her time with Mia. She was especially observant of Mia’s habits and behavior and always made sure to let us know if she noticed anything out of the ordinary. We really appreciated how thoughtful and attentive she was, and we would definitely have her watch Mia again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Charlestown on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 10,520 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.
