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!

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
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 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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Boston
Lauren was super friendly super cute, on time (annd even early!) and my dog loved her! She followed directions perfectly, made sure my dog had water spray to cool him down and freedom was very happy to see her again! Lauren has a bubbly personality that makes her especially fun to be around.. Trust 100% with my dog. Highly recommend her for your pet!
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!
Karley has such an enthusiasm with new dogs, my dog warmed up to her immediately on the first walk. My dog is not a “licker” but sure licked Karley in appreciation and happiness. In our our communications she was warm and very responsive and even offered help in finding someone on a day she couldn’t make it . It was a pleasure having her walk Freedom and I am extremely lucky she could do it . Most importantly , I trust her with my dog. I highly recommend her and will use her again.
Jenin is amazing!!! She is so warm and friendly my dog loved her right away!! We did a meet and great prior to our walks and Jenin was sure to ask about any allergies or medications my dog potentially needed. She then did an amazing job walking him and locking up our home after the walk! One day it was raining outside so she took the time to play with our pup to ensure he was stimulated for the day! I cannot say enough kind words about Jenin and Clyde, my pup, is excited for his next walking sessions with her!!
Sam is incredible! She has an innate love of dogs that absolutely comes through in how she relates to them. Our dog Ari can be a bit slow to warm up to others and she adored Sam immediately. Not only that, but Sam is prompt, reliable, and communicative. You never have to worry about your dog being well taken care of with Sam. Will definitely book again!
Nicky took such great care of our senior dog, Gracie, while we were out of town for a few days! She communicated well with us and was flexible in adjusting the walking schedule when we found out there would be fireworks one night during Gracie’s nighttime walk. She always made sure the water bowl was full and send us cute pics and updates! Thank you, Nicky!!!

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. 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.
