“We can’t speak highly enough about Linh as she was very caring, punctual and responsible with our dog. She’s extremely kind and pleasant to work with as well. We highly recommend her and look forward to her future walks!”

About: I have owned dog my whole life and trained dogs for about 5 years. I will always treat your pet as if they were my own. I get out of work between 10 am-12 pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am off Thursdays and Fridays. I am very flexible, reliable, and am willing to work with you to figure things out. I have an open door policy for all pets as long as they can get along with other animals. But I do have the space and room to keep your pet separated if needed.
“Responded to a last-minute request and provided prompt response to questions. She was also willing to meet my pup before walking. Showed up on time and was very sweet and patient with my little princess Vizsla!”
“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 have worked for the WAG! app for over a year now. I've always enjoyed caring for friends and neighbors pets when they were away from home. I've also always had at least 2 pets of my own. I'm currently taking the year off to go back to school. Since all of my courses are online, I am able to remain home each day to care for the animals in my care. I have a large yard that is partially fenced in with a very long run setup across the yard. I also live extremely close to walking trails and have private beach access.
About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs for over 2 decades and continue to love doing so. Love taking dogs for walks, going to dog parks, etc. Can accommodate most special care requests. Happy to stay the night at your place, or if your dog is social, have her/him over at mine. I have an Alaskan Klee Kai who is 5 years old, 16 pounds, and well-socialized. I’m currently working part time (middle of the day) and will have lots of time to take care of your fur babies. For home visits, I can typically do 7:30-10am, 3-5pm, 7-11pm, but I make arrangements outside of these times with advanced notice. I have a big yard that my dog enjoys. It is not fenced in but we can use a long leash so dogs can run around, play fetch, and explore.
“Tricia is awesome! So friendly and easy to communicate with, and a real pro! She bonded instantly with Mojo, and even showed up a little early for their walk, which worked out perfectly! Can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Lydia was absolutely wonderful! She was extremely friendly and clearly loves dogs. She was so patient and kind to our dog, and we would definitely have Lydia care for him again. We highly recommend her!”
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.
“We couldn't be happier with Nick's dog-walking services! Our energetic puppy absolutely loves his walks with Nick. After just two weeks of service, we can see a significant positive impact on our pup's behavior and overall happiness. Nick is just what we needed—reliable, friendly, and great with our furry friend. Highly recommended!”
“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!”
About: I bring years of hands-on pet care experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pup’s unique needs — whether that’s gentle patience with seniors, structured guidance for puppies, or providing consistent, reliable walks for high-energy dogs. I’m attentive to detail, comfortable with administering medications, and always prioritize safety while keeping your pet happy and active. At the heart of my care is building trust — not just with your dog, but with you. You can count on me for clear communication, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I currently work full time as a nurse practitioner, which is 4 days a week. I occasionally work from home. I’m currently some help paying for the millions of expenses of wedding planning, if you know you know!! My schedule changes weekly, but often times is very flexible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I respect your space and follow your routine closely to keep your pet feeling secure and cared for. On walks, I use secure leashes/harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on surroundings to ensure a safe and positive experience. If caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space, fresh water, and a consistent routine. I make sure every animal feels welcomed, comfortable, and never left unattended for long periods. Most importantly, I value trust — I keep open communication with pet parents, provide regular updates, and treat every pet as if they were my own.
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.
About: I absolutely love all animals! While I often sit for dogs and cats I love our small critters as well! I have a bunny that is fully house trained and uses a litter box! I love training animals and seeing just how intelligent they truly are! I have a special place in my heart for senior animals as I used to be a nursing assistant for geriatrics. I recently lost my old man dog last month so I definitely have a special place for senior animals as well as experience in administering insulin after meals as my brother chocolate lab is diabetic. I look forward to working with all kinds of animals and families! I am currently a server and a high end restaurant and have flexible hours. I really love this about both of my jobs because it gives me the ability that do both of the things I love most! I have a dog park and my complex backs up to cochituate state park. I am also happy to come to my clients home if that is desired! In that case I would follow any and all instructions left by my clients and of course maintain the upmost respect for both them and their homes.

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!

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.

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.
