About: I typically help neighbors & family with their pets when they’ve gone out of town many times. Walking, feeding, medicine, baths, etc. My parents recently got puppies that I helped raise from a month old! 💙 I work from home as a video marketer & work part time door dashing, which allows my schedule to be insanely flexible to help out with play time, walks, & drop by visits. 😎 I often help my elderly people bring their groceries all the way to the kitchen. I make sure to greet the animals, let them build confidence & trust, before entering the homes. My intention is to leave a safe impact on the house.

“Shaelyn is great with my dog and always takes time to play with him and make sure he gets enough walk time and attention! She is very responsive and is always happy to help.”

About: I grew up taking care of my families many pets. Growing up my family had dogs, cats, fish and a variety of other pets. I love all animals and enjoy working with them. Currently I have open availability but that is subject to change. I'm not currently working and am looking to fill my free time with something fun! I'm very well versed in caring for animals no matter the size and animal safety is always my number one priority. Having the ability to understand animals and their behavior is very important to keeping them happy and safe.
“Madelyn is THE BEST!!! Our GSP loves to be off leash and Madelyn works SO wonderful with her! Her attention to our baby is unmatched…. We are truly blessed to have found Madelyn! 🐾❤️”


About: Compassionate and dependable pet sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have been caring for pets since childhood, providing trusted care for family members, friends, and elderly pet owners. Experienced in maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, providing exercise, companionship, and ensuring pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Skilled in reinforcing basic obedience and puppy training, including potty training, sit, stay, and lay down commands, using patience and positive reinforcement. Dedicated to treating every pet like family by providing personalized attention, affection, and reliable care. Committed to creating a stress-free, loving environment where pets can thrive and owners can have complete peace of mind. With the flexibility of working from home full-time, allowing me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. My schedule enables me to take regular breaks to care for pets in my own home or travel to clients’ homes while maintaining their established routines. I am committed to following each pet’s individualized care plan, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and exercise requirements. I understand the importance of consistency and strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable and owners have complete peace of mind. As a lifelong animal lover, I provide a safe, caring, and enriching environment for every pet entrusted to my care. My home is situated on spacious land with a large, securely fenced yard where dogs have plenty of room to run, play, and exercise. I have three friendly outdoor dogs who are well-socialized and enjoy the company of other dogs. Inside my home, I have two calm, senior dogs who are gentle, well-mannered, and welcoming to visiting pets. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I understand that every animal thrives on consistency and routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication (if needed), exercise, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest periods. I also recognize that every pet has a unique personality—some enjoy constant interaction while others prefer quiet companionship—and I respect their individual needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives pet owners complete peace of mind, knowing their beloved companions are being treated with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own pets
About: I've loved animals from a young age. It all started with black labs for duck hunting. I was a vet assistant and horseshoer for many years. I've had dozens of personal pets throughout my life, and am now looking to love on and help care for other people's furry friends. I am recently retired and need something to occupy my time and give me purpose. When thinking about what I'm passionate about, animals is what is first to come to mind. I am up early and start my day with a walk. I am home most everyday and have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your pets needs. I have a fenced, clean yard with a covered patio. Plenty of space to roam and run. There is a water hose for plenty of water available. I have a glass back door looking outside. I can bring them inside the house as needed.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and currently have my heart dog! I have a little bit of experience in veterinary science. I am comfortable and confident with any size/breed dog and any age. I currently work part time in a bakery and will need advanced noticed to accommodate my work schedule for your sitting needs. My typical work day is 4am - 12pm or 8-5, so I am willing to request off or work through the sit, whichever you prefer! I provide frequent potty breaks (typically every hour) and play with your babies all day. I also love to let them sleep in bed or on the couch with me.
About: I have always loved animals from feeding, trying to talk to strays, to having animals of my own! I have always been the person to take the responsibility of all care of dogs mainly but I have experience with cats and even bunnies ! Sadly I don't get my dogs any more due to the family dogs passing away I gifted my baby girl to my mom I would love to see and take care of yours! Truly missing all 3 of mine ! Currently my schedule is open I am trying to get more time home with my daughter would love for it to be a regular thing ! Tell me how you take care of yours and I'll do the same! Personal opinion but EVERY dog is very different and what works with one may not with the next !

About: I have two large breed dogs, and I can train dogs to do basic commands. I have taken care of animals ranging from rabbits and goats to horses. I have much experience with senior cats. I have cared for a cat for 17 years who was blind, and I just had to put down my 15 yr old cat due to thyroid issues for which I gave her meds twice a day. I have also bottle fed baby animals and had to assist one of my dogs when she had a litter of 11 puppies, which I cared for on my own. My only job right now is caring for my two dogs and my cat! So I have plenty of time to pet sit and or walk pets. I will care for the pets in my client's home according to their exact specifications. I can't bring other animals into my home as I already have 3 pets.
About: Hi! We’re a husband-and-wife team who absolutely love caring for animals. We both work from home, so your pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. We live on a beautiful 4-acre farm with a fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of safe space to stretch their legs, play, and enjoy the outdoors. We also have a comfortable, climate controlled cabin just for the pets where they can relax, nap, and have their own cozy space when they need some downtime. Our goal is to make every pet feel like they’re on their own little vacation not just being boarded. We treat every animal like family and are happy to follow their normal routines, schedules, feeding instructions, medications, and individual needs. 4-acre property Their own comfy pet cabin Both of us work from home Lots of attention & companionship Plenty of room to play and explore 15 years of animal care experience Dog rescue and shelter experience Husband and wife care A safe, relaxed, home style environment We also run a dog rescue and have been actively involved with animal shelters for years. With 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals, we understand how important patience, compassion, consistency, and individualized care are for every pet. We’d love to meet you and your pets and give them a fun, safe, and comfortable place to stay while you’re away! Pet care is a major part of our daily routine. My wife and I work from home, operate a professional boarding and K9 coaching business, and run a nonprofit dog rescue, so dogs are around us every day. Our routine includes scheduled feedings, walks, playtime, training, supervised outdoor time, crate/rest periods, medication when needed, and plenty of one-on-one attention. We keep a structured routine while also adjusting to each dog’s individual needs. Because we do this professionally, we’re used to managing multiple dogs while making sure each one gets the attention, supervision, and care they need. Our goal is for every dog staying with us to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while they’re away from home. I focus on providing a safe, calm, and structured environment whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home.

I’m experienced with crate use when requested, proper leash handling, and monitoring behavior to ensure pets remain safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.
About: I treat every dog like they're my own; patient, attentive, and genuinely happy to spend time with them. I'm reliable and communicative, so you'll always know how your pup is doing while you're away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels, and I take the time to learn each dog's individual routine and quirks rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Weekends are when I'm fully available and focused on pet care; no rushing between other commitments. That means consistent walk times, unhurried playtime, and someone who's actually present rather than checking the clock. If you need reliable dog walks or drop-in visits, that's exactly the window I keep open." For drop-in visits, I follow your dog's normal routine as closely as possible which includes feeding times, potty breaks, and any specific instructions you leave, so there's minimal disruption while you're away. I always do a quick check of food/water and make sure the home is secure before I leave. For walks, I go at your dog's pace rather than rushing, and I'm attentive to their comfort, always checking for signs of overheating, giving water breaks, and using leash/collar setups you're comfortable with. I keep you updated with the Rover app so you know how each visit went

About: I grew up with pets of all kinds. I've always been the first person all my friends would call to take care of their pets. I've watched chickens, ducks, hourses, cats, dogs, hamsters, bunnies, snakes ect. I never thought to make it a business I always just did it out of my love for animlas and knowing they would be safe with me. Now that I have more knowledge and experience it just makes me so happy I can help each and everyone of you while you are away doing something I absolutely love. ❤️ Im so incredibly thankful to say this is my full income so I'm home all day to play with your pets and keep them company at all hours if need to be! I take them on walks 3 times a day plus backyard time. Fed normally twice unless told otherwise, and endless play time with their breeds or endless snuggles. Cats are 24/7 off the walls so I tend to have to keep them occupied as well sometimes even put a leash on them for an adventure 🤭

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.

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.

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.
