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.

About: I have been a dog and cat owner and sitter since I was very young. Neighbors and friends have been able to rely on me to walk, feed, and pick up after their pets. I love spending time with animals and hope to provide a bright and loving environment for your fur babies! I work full-time on Daniel Island so drop-in visits or walks outside of work hours might work best! Happy to pop in at lunch time if the commute isn't too far as well! Would love to do what I can to make your pet comfortable with a new person in their space. Happy to meet with you before booking and take your pets' lead!

About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner for over 11 years, giving me experience caring for a dog through every stage of life—from the playful puppy years to his final weeks battling cancer. That experience taught me the importance of patience, compassion, attention to detail, and making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Since I was young, I’ve also been involved with multiple local animal rescues, helping with transports, fostering dogs, and volunteering at community events. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I would love the opportunity to provide your pets with the same love, patience, and dependable care I’ve always given my own. I’m currently in school Monday through Thursday evenings, so I’m generally available during the day on those days. When I leave for school, my mom is home or will be home within the next hour, so your pets are never left without someone around for an extended period of time. On weekends, I’m completely free and have full flexibility to dedicate my time to your pets and their needs. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I have a safe, pet-friendly home with plenty of space for your pet to feel comfortable. We have a large fenced-in backyard where dogs can run and play, along with a doggy door for easy access in and out. I also keep our trash cans secured and have childproof locks on lower cabinets to help prevent curious pets from getting into anything they shouldn’t. My goal is to provide a clean, comfortable, and secure environment where your pet can relax and feel at home.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a deep love for all animals. I currently have a 5 year old Great Dane/Lab mix named Maxwell who keeps me active, attentive and well-versed in daily dog care and companionship. Needless to say, I am comfortable with large breeds! I am a kind, caring and reliable person who truly enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy and loved! I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your fur baby! I work remotely, which allows me a flexible schedule and the ability to step away throughout the day as needed. This makes it easy for me to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime and check-ins without rushing. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable and loved. I am very attentive, loving, reliable and I treat every pet as if it were my own.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for about 7 years, including pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and basic grooming. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals, so I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and spoiled while they’re with me. I work full-time, but I still have plenty of time to give your pets love and attention! I’m available most evenings and weekends for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and cuddles, and I’ll always do my best to work with your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow any feeding, walking, medication, or routine instructions you give me, keep a close eye on them, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’m a dedicated dog mom to an Aussiedoodle and prioritize my dog’s health, exercise, and training every day. We stay active together getting 10-12k steps a day, keep up with daily routines like dental care, and focus on healthy treats and positive habits. I’ve taken training classes and enjoy learning modern, science based training methods to better understand animal behavior. I’ve raised my dog since he was 8 weeks old, so I’m very familiar with puppy development, training consistency, and maintaining a structured routine. Growing up, I also cared for a variety of animals of all ages, which helped me appreciate the unique personality every pet has. I believe no animal is “bad” each one simply has their own quirks and communication style. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, understood, and comfortable while their owner is away. I integrate pet care into my daily routine several times throughout the day by walking, running, and training my dog. I also brush his teeth, prepare fresh meals and healthy treats, and conduct regular training sessions both alone and with people. I maintain a consistent schedule so pets in my care can expect structured exercise, attention, and enrichment throughout the day. I always follow each pet’s boundaries and the owner’s rules to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I check in with the owner to see if there’s anything extra they’d like me to provide and make sure their instructions are fully implemented. I also give a “report card” after each visit, updating the owner on their pet’s behavior, activity, and overall wellbeing, so they know their furry friend is happy, safe, and cared for.

About: I've been a devoted pet parent for over 18 years, caring for both senior cats and dogs with all the love and attention they deserve. I currently care for my goofy, senior pup, Jurado, who has joint concerns, so I’m well-versed in the patience, gentleness, and special care our aging companions need. I recently said goodbye to my cat Miss Dora after 16 beautiful years together—she was truly my soulmate. I love both cats and dogs equally. The more the merrier! Every pet has their own personality and needs, and I find joy in connecting with each one on their terms. Having lived the corporate grind and relied on pet care services myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family with someone. Now that I work remotely, I’m excited to bring that same support and peace of mind to other pet parents. I'm also highly detail-oriented and take pride in following specific care routines to the letter (administering medications, sticking to feeding schedules, supporting mobility needs, etc). Your pets will be treated with the same love and respect I give my own. As a remote worker, my schedule is flexible and fully pet-friendly. I'm home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, timely meals, potty breaks, and lots of love. I structure my workday around their needs, whether it’s a quick walk, a play session, or simply keeping them company. Weekends are also open for pet care, so I’m available for both weekday and weekend bookings. Your pet’s routine becomes part of mine. I follow your instructions closely and keep routines consistent to help pets feel safe and grounded. I'm attentive to changes in behavior or health, and I’m always happy to provide updates so you never feel out of the loop. In my home, I have a fully fenced-in yard, very walkable neighborhood, and can crate if requested. I make sure spaces are pet-friendly and supervised, especially for senior pets who may need extra support navigating stairs or slick floors. I treat every pet like family, with kindness, patience, and lots of affection.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Dorchester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Dorchester is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,580 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 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.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Dorchester after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dorchester. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
