“Tiffany and Steve have been walking our puppy Kevin at least three times a week since mid January of this year. They have been reliable, easy to communicate, and understanding. We receive pictures and updates from every walk, and our puppy seems to enjoy them very much. We are happy that we found Tiffany!”
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
“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 taken care of multiple types of animals and pets through sitting, volunteering at the humane society, and working at a petting zoo. I am an animal lover myself who is excited to interact with your pet and give them the love and care they need! I grew up with lots of pets and am loving spending time with everyone’s pets. I just moved to Boston and I miss my two cats and two dogs that are on the other side of the country. Would love the opportunity to share my love with your pets :) I’m currently doing school at nights twice a week so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. Available any day as needed! Send me a message and we can find a time that works best. I am able to spend time with your pet while being respectful of your space, knowing that animals thrive in an environment they are used to.
About: I’ve been around dogs and animals my entire life and have always had a huge heart for them. My grandpa was a veterinarian, so growing up I had the opportunity to help him care for animals and became comfortable around pets with all different personalities and needs. I also have a mini Goldendoodle of my own who I truly treat like my little kid! 🐾 I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I recently finished my master’s degree at Northeastern University and am currently doing remote work while looking for my next full-time position, so my schedule is very open and flexible! I’m home most days and have plenty of availability throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, and spending time with your pets. I’m also flexible with timing and happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I’ll always treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow any instructions you leave, keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they’re comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy and being well taken care of!
About: Eagle Hill WFH professional looking to love on your babies! When I'm out in the wild, I say hello to every dog I meet. I love to walk in east boston early in the morning because of all the dogs playing and walking. Seeing them makes my day. I always tell people that critters and kids love me and it hasn't disappointed yet. I had a dog for many years, and we'd take multiple walks a day, play together, and snuggle. I've taken care of other people's dogs through house sitting and staying with their baby overnight a few nights. While the pup might be anxious, I didn't leave their side. I love walking, so I would love to visit and take your dog for a walk. When it comes to cats, I have had 2 cats for almost 13 years. I'm quite the cat mom, and that translates to how I'd be as your sitter. I want to give you what you need: lots of updates, pictures, and details on how they are doing (if that's your thing, and this goes for dogs too!). As a pet parent myself, I want to be able to provide you the level of care that I give my own babies and the level of peace my own sitters give me! I'd love to meet you and your furry baby or babies so let me know if I can be of service! i habe a very flexible schedule and work from home so i can help out however works for you! i can even hang with your pets. i want to care for your pet the way i’d care for my own by following any rules or guidelines you have. i also want to make sure they have plenty of love.
“Samantha is really good for my dog Nala, a 6y old husky. Will always text me before walk and let me know she is on her way and communication is good! Always have pictures from the walks with my girl”
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!”
About: I’ve been an owner and cared for pets from a very young age. My first ‘jobs’ as a young kid were walking family members’ dogs and pet sitting for them. Since then I’ve loved doing this for friends and hoping to do more! I am looking to house sit and do drop-in care, but not currently looking to host pets in my space as I have 3 cats and my landlord does not allow dogs in the apartment. I'm currently working full time on a hybrid schedule. I go to the office 3 days a week and the other two days are spent at home when I am remote. On the weekends, my schedule is mostly flexible unless I have plans to attend to. I am a loving pet owner who is very attentive to my pets’ needs. I am happy to meet all of your pet care needs, as dictated by you. I am looking to house sit and do drop-in care, but not currently looking to host pets in my space as I have 3 cats and my landlord does not allow dogs in the apartment.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy pets, and I’m always reliable and communicative. Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine. I offer daytime services like drop-ins, walks, and playtime, and I plan my schedule around the pets I care for. I’m dependable, flexible, and make sure each visit is focused, fun, and tailored to the pet’s needs—whether that’s a long walk, feeding, or some one-on-one attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routines—meal times, potty breaks, walks, and playtime—to reduce stress while their owners are away. I always follow any specific instructions, from medications to feeding preferences, and I give regular updates and photos to keep pet parents in the loop. I’m clean, respectful of the home, and make sure every pet feels at ease while in my care.
About: I love animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’ll take care of your dog or cat as if they were my own. I’m also a pet parent myself - I have a British Shorthair cat named Bella, and she means the world to me. Because of that, I completely understand how important it is to feel confident and at ease when leaving your pet with someone else. I have experience walking dogs and caring for pets through Wag, where I hold a 5-star rating. I’ve been doing pet care part-time and have completed a variety of services, including home visits, cat sitting, dog sitting, and daily walks. I’ve also done longer stays (4–7 days), so I’m comfortable handling routines, feeding schedules, and giving pets plenty of companionship. Your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me - and we’ll definitely enjoy our time together. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. Since I’m not working full-time right now, I’m able to give your pets lots of attention, playtime, and consistent care. I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine and needs. I always prioritize safety. I make sure doors are closed securely, pets don’t slip outside, and dogs are always taken out on a leash. I follow your feeding instructions exactly and never give pets anything outside their normal diet. I keep their space clean, calm, and comfortable so they feel safe while you’re away.
“Sabrina was fantastic with my pet! She showed incredible flexibility, even during the busy holiday season. Her communication was outstanding—she sent daily updates and pictures that gave me peace of mind. Sabrina also kept me promptly informed about any issues, which reassured me that my pet was in excellent hands. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking dependable and caring pet care.”
“Brooke is an excellent dog walker! I could tell from the moment she met my dogs, who are 2 high-energy rescues, that they felt at ease with her. She is professional, kind, and very skilled at walking my 2 crazy fur babies. We're so happy we found her!”
About: Hi I'm Christian I live near airport station. I've been walking small and large dogs for years for family and friends as a hobby and part time in different companies. Looking forward to do something I'm passionate about while making a few dollars. I work for wag as well,and am finding the more I do this type of work the more I want to take on. It's one of those jobs you never dread going to because it's what you care about doing so trying comes effortlessly. I encourage people to request me if they want someone with experience and enthusiasm. Available usually weekdays throughout the day and afternoon,and some weekends during the day. Currently am working flexible part-time jobs and am willing to accommodate request. Looking to make the experience a good fit for both you and me. I have a fenced yard in the back and a calm pet free place inside. The location is easy to find and have plenty of experience with other pets at this location. I do freelance part-time jobs,and some per diem jobs, so I have plenty of time to take care of any pets I'm boarding or sitting. I have a porch ,small backyard area and the pet/s can roam free throughout the apartment. Also a park down the st I can take them too if you wanted me to.
About: I grew up with four big dogs and loved every moment of it. Now, I have one dog, Ollie, who I love to spoil and spend my time with on walks and outside. I’m currently a college student, the hardest part about leaving for college was leaving him. I am a college student in Boston so I have summers off. During this time I would love the opportunity to meet new dogs and cats! I have a lot of experience with multiple pets at once and have a deep care for all animals. Their safety is always my number one priority. I have also done a lot of babysitting in my past and have always been responsible and respectful in others homes, I know how scary it can be to let someone into your home so I value all of your needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Boston
Faith was the most helpful! We booked her last minute and she accommodated all of my questions/changes enthusiastically. Her love for our pups was felt from 300 miles away and the peace of mind she gave us that they were being well cared for meant the world. Will definitely book again! Thank you faith! Highly recommend!
Ngoc consistently goes above and beyond to make sure Matilda is well cared for. She is reliable, a great communicator, and clearly has a lot of experience. This was my first Rover experience and I am so grateful to have found Ngoc and booked her on a regular basis!
Sam was wonderful! She was very communicative, helpful, and attentive throughout her time with Mia. She was especially observant of Mia’s habits and behavior and always made sure to let us know if she noticed anything out of the ordinary. We really appreciated how thoughtful and attentive she was, and we would definitely have her watch Mia again!
Ardelia is terrific and has been taking excellent care of our two boys (terriers) Henry and Morgan. Ardelia quickly developed rapport with the boys, and has been excellent in her communication. Always on time and seems to genuinely enjoy our doggos and their quirky personalities. She also gives us informative updates about their walks. We feel fortunate to have Ardelia available to walk our sweet boys and highly recommend her services!

The average cost for Dog Walking in East Boston on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 .

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.

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
- 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 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.
