“We were very happy to find Wendy to walk our dog when we traveled. She was reliable and very communicative. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely use her again.”
About: I believe what sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine love for animals! I have been around all types of animals my entire life, including my own dog, Parker. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I make it a priority to provide patient, personalized care while the owner is away. Whether it's keeping up with an energetic puppy, caring for a senior dog that needs a slower pace and extra attention, or simply making sure every walk is fun and engaging, I'm committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I am currently in between positions as I finish my EMT license. This means outside of interviews, coffee chats, and studying for school, I have so much time to devote to walking and caring for dogs! I care for Pets as if they are my own. I want both the animal and the owner to feel relaxed and happy. I am respectful within the home and patiently create an inviting environment for dogs.
About: My experience encompasses daily walks, meticulous feeding schedules, and recognizing subtle signs of distress. I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and stimulating environment, ensuring your pets feel secure and happy in your absence. My approach is tailored to each animal's unique needs, fostering a bond of trust and affection. I am going back to school to show my son it can still be done at my age. Your pets will fit into my schedule perrrfectly. I have a very loved 8 year old rescued cat that my son adores. Although I don't offer services at my home your pets will be loved and cared for like my own.
“Nick took such great care of my dog Lana while I was abroad! He kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which really helped me feel at ease being so far away. I could tell he was attentive, responsible, and genuinely cared about her well-being. It meant so much to be able to trust someone with her during that time. Because he is so familiar with dogs and knows some dog training, he was also able to keep her calm when they would encounter another dog (with treats of course!) I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a kind and reliable sitter!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have a dog and a cat. I have house sat for both dogs and cats. I have even looked after animals with special needs. I know what it takes to earn an animals trust and make them feel safe and cares for :) I am available to pet sit or check-in on your animals, take them for walks (etc) seven days a week! I have plenty of time to play with and get to know your animals. I am very respectful of clients homes and the rules they lay down. I want to care for your pets in the way you would!
“Brittany was amazing with our female labradoodle Mia! She clearly loves animals and was very attentive and provided a very nice summary and photos of Mia after every visit. She’s great and we highly recommend her!”
“Sally was absolutely wonderful! We had just moved to the area and our dog was still adjusting to the move. I was worried about finding someone to look in and walk our dog while I was on vacation (and my husband is gone most the day) until I found Sally. Sally met our dog before caring for him and he immediately felt comfortable around her and wanted her to play. Sally is friendly, reliable and a great communicator. She sent regular updates with pictures and took excellent care of our dog. I had an enjoyable vacation knowing our dog was happy and in great hands. I will definitely use Sally again and I highly recommend her!”
“Ana is always prompt & really enjoys Clover. It’s obvious she has a great move of animals. And she always flexible with times & days to walk. Clover seems to really enjoy time with Ana.”
“Majdoline was absolutely wonderful to the girls from the start. She’s punctual, thorough and is communicative. I would definitely recommend her and looking forward to booking her again in the future!”
“Christie is super reliable and friendly. She walks my elderly mom’s dog (Buddy) twice a day. Buddy gets excited when he sees her arrive. She takes pictures and uses all the features in the Rover app to report out. We are very happy with the service she is providing.”
About: Growing up, I cared for my own pets and neighbors’ dogs and cats. I’ve raised two puppies, cared for a kitten, and looked after my 15 year old senior dog. In college, I started house sitting and caring for pets while owners were away. (I have plenty of references if you'd like one as well). I recently graduated college and work remotely Tuesday-Friday, so pet sitting is the perfect fit. I am around to help almost all of this summer! I treat every dog or cat like my own. Recently, I’ve been providing overnight, in home care for pets while their owners are on vacation, and I’m also available for full day stays if needed. I try and leave the home as clean as possible:) I am open to house chores as well!
About: I’ve been around dogs for my whole life, actually I have never not had a dog. I come from a Boxer house hold, so I am especially great with bigger and energetic pups! I have experience with over night care of pets from many summers of my parents going on vacation. I just moved to Boston for my master’s degree and had to leave my childhood pup at home, so I am looking for love from a pet! It would be my pleasure to spend time with your pet! I’m currently a full time student and I commute to Boston for classes. Monday I am on campus from 1:30-5:30; Tuesday is my longest day from 11:45-8:30; Wednesday 2:50-8:30; Thursday 11:45-5:30; and Friday I don’t have class! My weekends are completely free. Outside of those time ranges Monday-Thursday I am available to care for your pets! I am very clean and respectful when being in someone else’s home. Any directions you give me I will follow! If I have any questions I will be sure to clarify with you.
“Hailey provided great care for my two Boston terrier. On the first day there was trouble with access to my apartment due to my leasing office being closed. Hailey stuck with it & waited till I could get home to let her in to take care of pups. She’s a great communicator. 10/10 would recommend & would ask for help in the future.”
“I needed a last minute walk for my dogs and Avery was quick to respond to my request. He arrived on time and even walked longer than expected! He sent me a few photos which I appreciated. I definitely will use him again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cochituate
We had a wonderful experience leaving our nine year old dachshund Gus with Charlene for almost a week. She did a great job taking him on many walks throughout the day, as well as outings to his favorite hot spots like Home Goods. She gave us some great tips with how to handle some of his quirky habits (like dumping his food when eating and refusing to brush his teeth). Charlene was especially sensitive to creating a warm and comforting environment for our dog, and shared many pictures and videos. We were able to enjoy our vacation without any worries at all, knowing that Gus was getting the best of care. She’s truly the best!
Linh is fantastic! She has a lot of experience with dogs so I felt very comfortable leaving our two pups in her hands. She followed my instructions, is a great communicator and responds very promptly. She was professional and considerate to ask if her fiance could join her on the walk which I very much appreciated. We have booked her again for house sitting this summer and know that our pups will be in great hands!
Kelsey is amazing! Our dog absolutely loved her and she provided the best care while we were away. She sent us so many pictures, told us how he did each time she walked him and was always going above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. We will absolutely be using Kelsey again!
Mary was a great communicator, on time, asked thoughtful questions about how to best care for our dog, including where to keep a towel to dry our dog off after being in the rain. Our dog always seemed perfectly happy and exhausted after a good walk with Mary. We are grateful!

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 Cochituate. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
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.
