About: I am a law student in Boston and am currently on summer break! I have a dachshund at home with special needs and have cared for many dogs throughout the years. I am very patient with dogs and enjoy taking them on walks and caring for them based on their needs. I understand every dog is different and will work with them individually. I am currently a law student on summer break. I am working Tuesdays-Fridays until 3:30 everyday. I am available after 3:30 on those days. I am available Saturday-Monday all day! I always ensure the safety of any pet that I care for by ensuring they always remain on a leash when outside and understanding their personalities around other dogs or how they react in certain environments. I always follow instructions by the pet owner to feed and care for them properly!
“Lauren (Ashley) did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies while we were away for the weekend! She exercised them thoroughly, made sure they ate and pottied, cuddled them and was very mindful of their anxiety with Fourth of July fireworks, and kept us updated the whole time.”
“Savannah was able to pick up a last minute booking on a holiday weekend and even cleaned up a mess my boy made while making sure I knew it wasn’t a big deal. Love to be able to not worry while I’m out!”
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.

I am available most mornings and for multi-day stretches. have an apartment with a good sized living room and kitchen and an additional room that can be a pet’s personal space and I live close to multiple green areas and great spaces for walks.
“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!”
“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!

Lauren (Ashley) did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies while we were away for the weekend! She exercised them thoroughly, made sure they ate and pottied, cuddled them and was very mindful of their anxiety with Fourth of July fireworks, and kept us updated the whole time.
Maya was a lifesaver for us when our walker canceled last minute the night before July 4th! She was quick to respond to our request and very professional. We usually do meet and greets before using a new walker, but obviously did not have time in this case. Maya was on time, communicative, and super loving of Ramona. We would definitely book with her again!
I had a great experience with Kara. She was friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. Kara was punctual, sent updates, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I will definitely use her services again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog walker!

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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

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.
