“Payton is my go-to walker when we need someone for our dog! She is always on time, quick to respond, and goes the extra mile to write a note and take cute pictures. We really appreciate it!!”

“Nadaia is superb. I had a last-minute medical need for a dog walker & she, thankfully, squeezed me in. She is effervescent & professional, affable & the one in control, kind & goes above & beyond. By day 3, Remy stood at the door waiting for *his* Nadaia! Remy adores her, as do I. I will be using her again You should contact her too. I promise—Nadaia does not disappoint!”

“Emily did a great job walking our pups (each who has a different goal from the other) for this first week! She was polite and thoughtful, and the dogs had a great time. Looking forward to asking her to continue to return!”


“Morgan has been so amazing with our girl. We’ve used her for the last few years and she is always so dependable and very communicative. She is the best person we’ve ever had take care of our dog. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Connor was great with Ellie and Tripp, he was always on time, polite, and easy to communicate with. He took them on happy lunch walks and both dogs clearly enjoyed their time with him. We appreciated the updates and photos he sent. I’ll definitely book him again.”

About: I was born into a family of animal lovers! My parents own a horse rescue but have adopted many other animals along the way, and my sister works at a vet clinic. I believe that our pets are a part of our family. I can’t wait to love on your pets the same way I love mine :) I’m looking to take on pet sitting/walking full time. This is my main priority at this time, so my schedule is open for as much or as little time as you may need. I would love to drop in during the day for a play date or walk when needed. I pay close attention to detail, follow instructions well, and pride myself on being dependable and trust worthy.
About: I’ve had a family dog since I was in high school and have always been a dog person. I currently have a 4-year old pitbull mix. I’m looking to earn some extra money to pay off some medical bills. Can’t wait to meet your pup! I work full-time remote, so I can dog/house sit when needed. I also can pop in to let your dog out or take them on a walk before, during lunch, or after work in the evenings. I’m open to taking your dog to nearby parks and trails if you’re comfortable with that. I live in Park Circle and do many walks around the neighborhood here and in Riverfront Park. If you’re comfortable with my other dog around, great — If not, no worries!
About: Life long dog lover who looks forward to befriending your furry loved one. We live in a townhome with a 2 year old golden retriever, Cheddar. I work a full time job 100% remote from my home so I have the flexibility to tailor my days to whatever your dog needs. I like for my dog to feel like this is her home too. She has her own spaces throughout the house and knows which areas are hers.
About: I've been actively caring for animals for more than 14 years :). Growing up, I regularly pet-sat for family friends, and my family often took in stray cats and litters of kittens, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all ages and personalities. Today, I have three cats of my own and continue to pet sit for friends and family. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, a consistent routine, or extra patience and attention, I'm committed to providing loving and reliable care while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a full-time job with a very flexible hybrid schedule. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I can work from anywhere, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide care, check-ins, walks, or companionship throughout the day. I currently specialize in occasional bookings, vacation care, and drop-in visits. At this time, I’m not accepting recurring weekly walking schedules. I'm also fully available on weekends. At home, I care for my three cats with my partner, which allows me the flexibility to accommodate pet sitting while ensuring every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to keeping them happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you're away. I provide care that is tailored to each pet’s needs and routine, whether in my home or in a client’s home. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any specific instructions provided. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while their owners are away, along with regular updates for peace of mind. In my own home, pets are cared for in a calm and safe environment. I ensure they are supervised, given a consistent routine, and treated like part of the family. I currently have three cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to create a clean, low-stress space where animals feel secure and cared for.
“Definitely will call Rachel again to walk my boys. Wonderful, dependable and trusting. I am thankful to have her nearby to help when I am in a pinch for someone to care for my dogs!”

About: Conveniently located 7-10 mins from the Charleston Airport, we are here to give your pup a fun vacation while you enjoy yours stress-free! We are a young energetic couple who grew up with cats, dogs and other animals (turtles, chickens etc..) Needless to say, we LOVE animals! We also love nature and all it has to offer! A few years ago we started caring for the dogs and cats of our friends and family members. Several friends encouraged us to try Rover seeing how happy their pups were with us, so that's why we're here! We work from home in the mornings and some afternoons as well. In our free time we do volunteer work that benefits the community, we go for walks, bike rides and love to explore nature. We have plenty of time throughout the day to provide your pup with the exercise and love that it needs! Expect to receive daily picture updates as well! We live in a house with a big fenced-in backyard and deck. We keep our yard tidy and well-trimmed to keep all the pups safe. In our home we value and strive to maintain a peaceful, loving and respectful atmosphere. We also care about our health and maintain a clean and tidy home. All our puppy guests have thrived in this atmosphere! Before booking with us, please consider the following points: - Please make sure your pup is up to date on all vaccines and tick medication. All dogs must have current vaccinations, including Rabies, Parvo, and Bordetella. Kennel Cough vaccinations are strongly recommended. - Dogs must be socialized and non-aggressive. We only accept dogs that get along with other dogs. If your dog has a history of growling, being nippy or "iffy" with other dogs or humans; please do NOT book with us. - We only accept neutered/ spayed animals - We work hard to provide a clean environment for ourselves and our guests so please make sure your puppy is clean before drop off.
About: I have been looking after other’s pets since I began watching my neighbors’ dogs at eight years old. I take seriously the responsibility of watching another’s furry best friend, and find joy in meeting and caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I work a 9 to 5 job with regular hours and am happy to help your pup with an early morning, mid day, or evening walk! I approach all pets with respect and follow the cues they give me about how much love and attention they want to give and receive. I try to make them as comfortable as possible while they are missing their human, and create a space where they can relax and have fun while they wait.
“Madelyn was great! She took great care of Bodi and sent me Rover cards with pictures everyday. She was very quick to respond to my texts and I felt at ease knowing my dog was in good hands.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Dorchester on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,676 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
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
