“Steve has been walking Buck for a couple of months now and he has been wonderful with Buck! When I forget to book them for the week they always reach out to see if it was a mistake or not and they still accommodate if I forgot.”
“Arianna was incredible with our doggo Padme. Our dog can be a little sassy at times and will refuse to continue on walks unless she is treated (we have spoiled her!) but Arianna kept Padme moving and they had a great time. Really appreciate her working with dogs that have their own mind!”
About: My pet care experience comes from having my own pets, caring for family and friends, volunteering, and working as a veterinary technician. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, including shy, anxious, young, and senior pets. I’m skilled in administering medications and vaccines, and I create a calm, safe, and loving environment, tailoring attention and activities to each pet’s individual needs so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home so I have flexible availability. Im available for multiple walks a day if needed or even pop up if you needed someone to check in on your fur baby. I have a friendly dog who will play with your pup or take naps for those who are passed the puppy stage. I can do light basic training
“Kayla has been wonderful with Winnie! She is super patient and kind and sends along all the updates and photos. She’s communicative, and always spends time making sure Winnie isn’t anxious when going outside or when playing inside with her.”
About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life, and my love for animals has only grown over the years. From a young age, I developed a deep understanding of pet care, particularly with dogs of all breeds and sizes. Four years ago, I adopted two puppies and personally trained them into well-behaved, obedient dogs, which taught me invaluable lessons in responsibility, patience, and proper pet care. In addition to my personal experience, I spent two years volunteering at CAPS Animal Shelter, where I was responsible for dog walking, feeding, cleaning cages, and ensuring the animals were happy and comfortable. Through this, I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all temperaments and needs. I work fully remotely, meaning I am home the majority of the day and have plenty of availability and flexibility. I also have extensive experience house and dog sitting and have never had a bad review! I have 10+ 5 star reviews I can reference for you. I take pride in being trustworthy, reliable, and respectful of your space and pets. I am currently working from home, fully remote so I am home majority of the day and have tons of availability and flexibility for your pets. I have had many years of experience house and dog sitting and have never had a bad review! I am very trustworthy and will be respectful of your space!
“Emily is reliable, consistent, and flexible. She provides thorough updates of her walks with pictures and feedback. I trust her 100% to care for my one year old Maltipoo, Milo. Highly recommended!”
“Cooper is so communicative and goes above and beyond with my dog Clementine! I would highly recommend her and I’m looking forward to having her as a consistent dog walker for my pup!”
About: I’ve worked in doggy daycare, I’ve trained my grandmother’s puppy, ✨I have a certificate in basic knowledge of dog body language✨, will clean up all accidents, I’m comfortable & capable of taking care of all dog sizes, and most importantly - I will make sure your furry friend has the best time! I’m extremely loving towards dogs and super passionate in making sure they’re happy :) After all, they unconditionally care for us - it’s only fair we give them the same respect. I take great pleasure in making sure your companion is safe and fully fended for while you’re away! I work a part-time job currently, but I get to choose my own schedule and can tailor it to fit your needs! I’m also a full-time college student but have acclaimed time management skills. *Please note that Rover only lets me choose day availability. You may request a day that appears open, but my availability is dependent on the specific times that you select.* I’ll feed your pet/s, frequently give water when needed, make sure they get playtime, take them outside to go potty (or help them to go inside if you prefer pads), give treats on good behavior (if permitted), and overall make sure you have a happy pup :)
“Emma did a fantastic job walking my 1 year old dog Jack. She was professional, on time, responsive, and kept me updated with pictures. Emma was available last minute and Jack loved going on a walk with her. I will definitely utilize her services again in the future and would highly recommend her!”
“Great having a meet and greet, appreciated her hard work in getting into the building when the concierge wasn’t around. Masiel is very responsive and flexible and the dogs loved walking with her! Loved getting photos of their walk together.”
About: While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for pets. I’ve had two cats for the past 4 years and have pet sat for friends and family when they’ve needed help. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow whatever routine and instructions help you and your pet feel most comfortable. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. I work full-time (6am-2pm) as a scientist, so I’m generally available for afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. My schedule can be flexible though to accommodate for early morning visits. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and make sure I can give your pet the time and attention they need before accepting a booking. I use Rover myself so I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable until you’re back. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.
“Elizabeth was very responsive, provided wonderful pictures, and a great summary of her visit with my pup! She was aLeo available on short notice. We will certainly be booking with her again! Thank you!!”
“Katie was amazing! Very reliable, responsive, and respectful. She was great with my dog and sent pictures / updates on each of their walks. I will definitely continuing using her going forward!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs for most of my life. I raised, trained, and took care of 2 very different dogs of my own starting 7 years ago. One of them is a rescue with his own specific needs and quirks so I am experienced with reactive and nervous dogs. I also have cared for many other people’s dogs. I’ve walked and care of senior dogs and helped with their unique care needs. I am attentive, responsible, and genuinely enjoy building bonds with the animals I care for. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you are away. I am currently a part time retail worker, so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule for carrying for your animals. I am available for walks and in home visits everyday of the week, and I am flexible and easy to reach to set up the exact plan for your animals. I am very aware that each and every pet are very different. That’s why I am attentive and detail oriented in order to properly care for your pet in the way that it needs.
“I had a great experience with Mariana! She is very attentive to the dog and their needs and great with communication! I have a puppy that needs a little extra attention and feel very comfortable with her help! I will definitely be using her on a regular cadence!”

Madeline was so flexible, communicative and great with Naia! My dog was having an off shy day for Madeline’s first walk, and she was totally open to trying out different things, having naia warm up to her slowly and then trying again the next week. It went much better the next week, and she sent me lots of photos and detailed updates. I look forward to having her watch naia again
Yuting has done such an amazing job with my puppy Macy over the last month. She has consistently been on time to take Macy on her weekly walks and goes above and beyond to make sure she has water after the walks and treats to help ease her anxiety prior to her leaving. She is great with communication; always checking in and confirming times for walks. She is very flexible and often is able to accommodate needs on a short notice. She has been nothing short of amazing and I highly recommend her! (P.S. She's great with puppies!)
Lauren treats Coco as if she is her own dog. She ensures Coco gets activity, has enough water and food. Coco loves spending time with Lauren and we’re so grateful for the care and love Lauren demonstrates with her. Highly recommend Lauren for dog sitting or walking.
I couldn't have asked for a better Rover sitter! From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in great hands. She sent regular updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful messages that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Her home was clean and she only takes one dog at a time. When I picked up my dog, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had an amazing stay. It's obvious she genuinely love animals and treat every pet like their own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable Rover sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my pup!
We had an emergency and needed a last minute walk on a Saturday afternoon. Britney replied right away and was flexible and very communicative. She was great with our pups and I felt that I could trust her. One of our dogs has been reactive on the leash lately and she was confident it wouldn’t be a problem for her. Would totally recommend and have her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in East Boston on Rover is $22.2 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 10,584 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across East Boston. 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 East Boston. 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 East Boston.

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 East Boston. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
