About: I have had a passion for taking care of animals since a young age. I have experience with all types of animals. I worked as a doggy daycare attendant and a veterinary assistant, as well as shelter experience. I'm available for drop in visits and dog walking. I do not have a set schedule at work yet so I will have different availability every week. We do have a backyard which is not fenced in and a porch that I usually block off to let my dogs get outside for some fresh air.

About: Before becoming a nurse, I was a vet tech for 5 years. I’ve also grown up with dogs and cats my whole life! Old or young, I'd loved to take care of your pet. Whether that's going for walks, playing vet, or just lounging around. Animals bring such joy to our lives and I'll take care of your baby like they're my own! I'm an ICU nurse with a few weeks in between contracts. Once I go back to work, I'll work 3 12s so I'll have lots of free time to spend with your babies. I usually know my scheduled a month in advance as well. I’m a very active person and if your pup is also active I can take them hiking or for a run! But if your dog is a couch potato I’m happy to just spend time with them too!

About: I’ve always been a lover of all pets. I grew up with pets in the home, both cats and dogs. I worked as a dog walker/hiker in the Boston area for many years, leading “pack hikes” with groups of off leash. I work on things like recall and socializing with your pup. I am laid back but professional, comfortable around dogs and lots of experience with different breeds and personalities. Your pets will receive the love and attention they need, while enjoying time outdoors, whether it be with a neighborhood walk or a nice hike in a nearby park. Your pets will be safe and well taken care of. :) I am self employed and have all the time in the world to walk/hike/care for your pets. Week days and weekends available. I am happy to help. I currently live in a condo so I am not able to bord your animals in my home but I am happy to pet sit in your own home.

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 25 years and truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to large breeds, as well as puppies, energetic adults, and senior dogs who require extra patience, medication, or special care. I'm naturally calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet's individual personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I adapt my care to what makes them happiest. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you're away. As someone who works for myself, I have the flexibility to provide reliable daytime care and give each visit my full attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. I treat every pet as if they were one of my own. I work for myself, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable, personalized care for your pets. I'm available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, medication, and companionship. I always do my best to be punctual, reliable, and accommodate your pet's routine. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I believe pets feel most secure when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and any special needs. I'll care for your home with the same respect I would my own, provide regular updates with photos, and treat every pet like a member of my own family.

About: I have over 20 years of personal experience with my own cats and dogs, and about 6 years of doggy daycare experience. From pack leader to poop scooper, I enjoy it all :) I was recently laid off from work and now have plenty of time to do what I love! I would like to keep my hours around 6am - 8pm, but am willing to be more flexible if you need. Safety is always a priority. Before deciding to take care of your animal, I make sure we can work together with respect, from both sides. That way, we can build trust and have a stressless, safe time together.

About: I've been taking care of animals for over 17 years now, and I've been around animals for my entire life. I currently own 3 ducks, a horse, and a cat - I take care of them daily. Over the years I've had chickens, sheep, a bird, a dog, and guinea pigs. I love taking care of animals so much that I was involved in nursing one of my chickens back to health when she lost a wing to a predator. She stayed inside for a while but was more than okay to go back outside after she was healed. Once she was ready to join the rest of chickens, she thrived with the other chickens. For walking at home, I walk on different days for around 1 mile each way, and with animals I love to walk with them. I'm available during most times of the day, as my nights are usually unavailable due to overnights with pets. Some nights will be available, but as of right now it's often booked! Just a heads up is appreciated. I do not have a fence around my property, but I will walk your dog whenever is needed to let them outside. If you don't have a fenced area, I will do the same for your own pet!

“I came in from our of town for a family gathering and needed a last minute walker for my dog. Jeffery was great with communicating with me for the last minute need. Was great handling Denise (my 2.5 year old had) and they had a nice hour long stroll around the neighborhood. Would recommend”

About: I'm a lifelong dog and cat owner who treats every animal like family. I build strong bonds with dogs through communication, patience, and positive reinforcement. I enjoy basic training, teaching tricks, playing, walks, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they deserve. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm looking for side work taking care of people's pets along side my loveable Labrador. I'm available for walks, car rides, pet sitting and pet check-ins. I care for pets with patience, attention, and genuine affection. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level rather than treating every dog the same. I provide plenty of companionship, positive reinforcement, exercise, and mental stimulation while making sure they are safe and comfortable in their own home or mine. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel like part of the family while they’re in my care.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From growing up with dogs to caring for my own as an adult, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and treated like family while you’re away. I also previously walked and cared for dogs for clients years ago, giving me hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’ll make sure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals — and I’ll care for your dog the same way I would want someone to care for mine. Providing pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part time as a healthcare professional, which gives me several days off during the week, including weekends, allowing me to provide flexible and dependable care for your pets. On the days I do work, I still have availability during mornings and evenings for feedings, walks, check-ins, playtime, and companionship. Because caring for others is already a big part of who I am professionally and personally, I bring the same level of responsibility, patience, attentiveness, and compassion to every pet I care for. I understand how important consistency and reliability are for both pets and their owners, and I truly enjoy making animals feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their families are away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in yours. I provide a calm, clean, loving, and supervised environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. During walks and playtime, I stay highly attentive by using secure leashes and harnesses, avoiding unsafe areas or interactions, monitoring weather conditions, and always ensuring pets are safely supervised both indoors and outdoors. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, and I take the time to build trust and provide individualized care, patience, and affection. As both a lifelong pet owner and healthcare professional, I take responsibility and safety very seriously, and you can feel confident knowing your pets will be treated with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 13 years, starting at a young age with my own family pets and continuing through friends, neighbors, and relatives who trusted me with their animals. I have experience with cats, rabbits, puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, including feeding routines, daily walks, bathing, administering basic medications, and providing calm companionship. I’m patient, observant, and very attentive to each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, emotional well-being, and routine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays while ensuring pets are never rushed or left alone for long periods. I enjoy building my day around an animal’s needs rather than fitting them into a rigid routine. I prioritize a calm, safe, and structured environment at all times. I carefully follow any instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and house rules. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of leash safety, and mindful of each pet’s comfort and boundaries. In a client’s home, I keep the space clean, secure, and peaceful, and I always aim to maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. Trust, communication, and gentle care are at the heart of how I look after every animal.

About: I started caring for my families pets when I was 6 years old. My neighbors were dog grooming from home, with the occasional cat grooming, so I got to get to know a lot of different things about individual breeds. My husband Evan knows how to train dogs and cats to do just about anything. He is also fluent in asl, a musician, and an artist. I love to give pets my full attention and care because it is relaxing to me. I know a lot of veterinarian technicians as well from my time in trade school. I live near Green Hill Park which is a great place to go for a stroll when the weather is nice. I know what pets are asking for and what to do if anything comes up so if you need special care for your pet they will be safe with me. I am currently available weekends and week nights. If my schedules changes I will update my profile with time off in advanced so that there are no miscommunications or cancellations. I can spend time with your pet playing in the yard or home. I walk pets as frequently as their schedule requires. Every pet has unique care needs. I love to care for pets and give them my full attention. Younger pets are full of energy and love to play so I do my best to get all their energy out so they sleep well and stay healthy. I am able to give pets medication or put them in diapers if required by the owner.

FAQs for Dog Walking - East Templeton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in East Templeton is $24 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $24 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,547 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across East Templeton. 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 Templeton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in East Templeton after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 Templeton. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
