About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and have experience for the last 5 years pet sitting and house sitting all over Massachusetts. I am able to be extremely flexible with my schedule, and have a proven record of taking great care of others’ animals and their homes. I currently work full time, but almost entirely from home, so I am able to arrange my schedule however I please, and am able to work from anywhere. All animals are so different and have varied needs, so this depends a lot! Usually I spend the first few meetings getting a sense of the dog, their cues, and their needs. I have done everything from take care of extremely energetic dogs who needed multiple very long walks and enrichment activities a day, to extremely anxious dogs who just wanted to sit right next to me on the couch for most of the time. The dog sets the schedule for me!
About: I come from a home where we always had at least 1 cat and 2 dogs (often more!). I have been taking on full-time pet care for both friends' and family pets since age 16, from overnight stays to just stopping by to take a walk or play and scoop the litter box. I have taken care of all sizes of pets, from tiny Pomeranians to Aussies and Great Pyreneeses, and I've yet to meet a fur baby I didn't love. I would love to bring this experience and care to your home, and help take care of your baby for you! I'm currently a freelancer who works from home, so I have flexibility to come take care of your babies whenever is most convenient for you! I have years of not only pet experience, but babysitting experience as well, in other people's homes. I am very happy to follow any instructions and boundaries you may have surrounding pet care in your home! I am an organized person and I have consistently gotten good feedback from clients about my attention to detail. I understand that allowing someone new into your home may be a stressful experience, and I want to make this a rewarding experience for both of us, and more importantly, your pets!

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.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
