Emily is a great dog walker/pet sitter. I have a very high energy and excitable dog who loves her and she is very knowledgeable on how to interact with all different kinds of dogs. I will continue to use her and recommend her to anyone with fur babies :)

About: I provide 24 hour a day care for your pet while you are away. I have relatively high availability. I am trained and certified in canine CPR and first aid. I also have experience with pocket pets, reptiles, and farm animals. I work with animals of all sizes and shapes. I can also provide training if asked. I am working towards earning my vet-tech certification. I am very flexible willing to work with you and your dog. I am always willing to go above and beyond for your pet. Rover is my only job, and I pride myself in the quality of care I am able to give. Your Fur-Babies are my only focus. I provide 24-hour supervision, long walks (it has not been uncommon for me to do mile-long walks with the dogs), frequent potty breaks, and lots of playtime.

About: Hello my name is Angela and I'm a huge animal enthusiast. I live not to far from most shore towns where people visit including Ocean City, Sea Isle, Avalon, and Stone Harbor. I own a home on a medium sized lot,so your dog has somewhere to safely play. The backyard is fenced off while the front is not. I also live in a relatively small neighborhood (2x3) blocks that's perfect for going on walks with the pups! I will take really good care of your family member as I would my own. I also don't mind sending frequent check ins and I'm guilty of taking to many pictures because they are just so dang cute! Please feel free to contact me anytime, looking forward to hearing from you! I own my own pet transportation company called Angie's Puppy Shuttle. My husband and I have owned dogs out entire life and since we don't have children, our dogs are a willing substitute, we will both be caring for your loved one while they stay with us. They will be welcome to the middle of the bed every night 🤣 Sometimes I am away, traveling cross country to introduce a family to their new puppy. The rest of that time I enjoy doing crafts, playing with the dogs outside and inside, playing pool and making a new snuggle buddy. I have dealt with the escape artist routine and don't want to pose that risk to your pet. We have a backyard with a fence and will remain on a leash no matter what. I just don't feel comfortable trusting them without it. I have a "TWO DOOR POLICY", which just means that if any exterior doors are opened, your pet will either be leashed to go outside before or will be placed in a bedroom behind another door before the exterior door can be opened. Absolutely no chance for an escape artist!

Jacqueline is a wonderful choice for looking after your pet! She is very responsive and makes sure that my dog Mac is taken care of and loved. We trust her to come by and take our pup for a walk while we are at work. Would recommend her for anyone needing help!

About: I have always had a love for animals. Growing up, I always had pets, mostly dogs and cats but also rodents, snakes, and frogs. I have also volunteered for 2 animal shelters in the past and still actively volunteer at one with walking dogs. I am currently in school and working part time but somehow still have plenty of free time! I love helping out people especially when it comes to caring for their pets when they cannot, whether that be at work or on vacation. I will always keep any animals on leashes or in the house. I will keep the same principles as my own dogs and will always keep them safe and keep their boundaries granted.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is that I truly understand dogs because I’m a dog parent myself. I currently have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Mini Dachshund, so I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pets like family, and that’s exactly how I care for every dog in my home. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm environment, I make sure they get personalized care and attention. I also understand the importance of routines, updates, and communication, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for animals. I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter since I was 10, and over the years I’ve volunteered with multiple rescues and animal organizations, giving me hands-on knowledge with pets of all personalities, sizes, and special needs. I currently own a farm, which means I’m comfortable caring for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs, shy rescues, and pets with unique routines. I provide a calm, confident presence, and I understand how important consistency, patience, and trust are in pet care. Your pets will be treated like family, every visit. I’m available every week day from 10am to 7pm, and all hours on the weekend. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I am unavailable from 3:00-4:00, otherwise I have a flexible schedule. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and stress-free. I follow their usual routine, give medication if needed, clean up after them, refresh food and water, and make sure their space stays tidy. I spend quality time with each pet — playing, offering attention, and helping them feel relaxed while you’re away. My goal is to give your pets reliable care and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

About: I have cared for many animals, including farm animals & animals w/ illnesses. I have experience in pet-sitting & baby-sitting, so I can assure you your fur baby will be well cared for. Basic experience in grooming, walking, and administering medicine. I am currently an online student with an open schedule, as my schoolwork is self paced. I am often available throughout the week, excluding Tuesdays. I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, as well as being open to doing overnights for trusted customers. More will be discussed during first meeting. :) Besides basic pet care, I offer a bonding experience with your furry loved ones and your family alike! My goal is to build an environment of trust, love, and safety for your pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand the love and dedication that goes into having a pet, as well as the harder parts like senior pet care, pets with illnesses, etc.

About: Hello ! My name is Amanda and I have been around dogs my entire life. I’ve recently moved into a new house and am looking to get back into helping you and your pets ! I have never known what it is like to live in a house without at least one dog and I don't think I ever will. I started pet sitting for family and friends about 8 years ago and haven't looked back. I have experience with all different breeds ranging from Huskies to Chihuahuas. I also have experience with there being more than one dog in the house so that is no problem. I currently have two dogs, Leo and Koda. Leo is a 11 year old Terrier/Toy Collie mix and Koda is a 8 year old Catahoula mix. I recently added an addition to the family and now have a 1 year old cat named Sushi as well! I a have experience with other animals such as birds, reptiles, rabbits, etc., so I can gladly help out with anything along those lines as well. I would love to help you and your furry friends out ! I can also provide references upon request :) I currently work remotely full time so I am home all week. I am also able to leave periodically during the morning and afternoon for walks and can work remotely from anywhere if house sitting is required. I have a very flexible schedule ! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. My cat also thinks he’s a dog and is very friendly and social. I also have lots of space if your animal needs to be crated at any point.

About: I have a deep love and compassion for animals, and caring for them brings me true joy and fulfillment. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or simply spending time with them, I find great purpose in making sure they feel safe, healthy, and loved. I enjoy learning about their unique behaviors and needs, and I take pride in being gentle, patient, and responsible. I work part time under 20 hours a week which allows me to take care of my babies and allows to me to take care of yours as well. every animal is unique and each requires different needs. whether it be diet restriction to different toys they like the most. the most important thing is making sure your pet is comfortable around me and to make it as easy as possible for your pet to enjoy being with someone else that they are not used to yet.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, ranging from puppies/kittens to seniors. I am able to medicate pets and give them what ever special diets they may need I also know different things to watch for due to working at a veterinary office. I can make sure they get a lot of outdoor exercise due to my large fenced in back yard, lots of cuddles and if needed one on one attention. My husband who is also an animal lover will be here to help take care of your pet. And if weather permits and we are able we often take our dogs out for walks on pet friendly trails to give them a change of scenery. I do have some requirements to make sure all pets visiting and staying with us are kept safe and healthy. I do not take aggressive dogs, and I do require that all dogs are up to date on Rabies vaccine, distemper and bordetella, for their safety and health as well as other pets that are coming into the house. I want you to be well assured that while your pet is staying with me that they will be well taken care of and treated like a family member. Looking forward to seeing you and your pets I do currently work full time but they are not normal full time hours, so I am able to be home with the pet a lot. And when I do work my 2 full days I’m home at lunch since I’m only 5 mile from work. And my husband is home about 1 1/2 to 2 hours after I go back to work.. We are basically home bodies and enjoying spend time with with our pets and what ever pets we are watching. I have a large fenced yard and 2 large dogs to keep your fur babies company. Pets are aloud on the couch as well as our bed. I do have gates in the house in case we need to separate pets or during feed times or just in general. If needed we can crate as well. Pets are not allowed out front unless leashed. I do require documentation of updated Rabies, Distemper and Bordetella vaccines.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Dorchester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,005 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Dorchester. 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 Dorchester. 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 Dorchester.

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 Dorchester. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
