Sheila is great! She took care of my two dogs this evening and made them feel comfortable. One of my dogs has a severe anxiety disorder so taking him for a walk is no easy feat. She handled it and got him to walk for her. I am so grateful to Sheila for this. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog walker.

About: I am a reliable and attentive pet walker who loves getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I provide safe, engaging walks tailored to your pet’s needs, with plenty of care and attention. As a pet owner, I go the extra mile, I’ve even taken my own cat camping and to the beach, so I understand how to keep pets comfortable and happy in any environment. 🐾 I am currently taking a break from work and have plenty of time to adventure! I start my days generally early so I will be available! When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining a safe, calm, and familiar environment. I carefully follow all care instructions to ensure consistency and minimize stress. Safety is always a priority, from securing the home to monitoring surroundings during walks. I also value trust and professionalism, providing reliable care while treating your home and pet with the utmost respect.

About: I’ve been a loving and devoted dog owner since I was ten. I’ve raised both small and large breed dogs from puppyhood. In addition, I’ve been a foster mom to many dogs of various ages and breeds through Great Dog Rescue. I enjoy getting outdoors, rain or shine, walking and playing with these wonderful animals. My dogs get are doted on with lots of cuddles and attention. I currently have a very friendly Bernese Mountain dog who gets along well with other dogs. I am available full-time to care for your fur baby. I could offer daily exercise and plenty of individual attention to your pup at my home or yours. I have a house with a big yard on a quiet cul-de-sac. Either in your home or mine, I would take your dog out on a leash to make sure it stays safe. Having hosted many rescue dogs, I know how to care for nervous animals and they have thrived under my care.

About: Several summers ago, I started taking care of dogs for members in my community, and I liked it so much I wanted to keep it going. My maturity and adaptability make me a great fit for any pet. I work Monday through Friday during the day, so I prefer to pet-sit on weekends. However, I am happy to be flexible and make something work. I have the most experience with caring for pets in a client’s home, where I can follow any routines that the pet already has. I’ve never owned a pet in my home.

About: Hello! I'm Annie, and I run a local premium pet care service with my partner Robbie. I've been professionally pet and house-sitting since 2018, though animals have always been a part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes (1–85 lbs), including senior pets, pets with special needs, and those requiring medication or specialized care. Whether it’s using a crate, leash, or harness, your pet’s safety is always my top priority. You’ll notice that your pet(s) warm up to me quickly...animals tend to sense my calm, nurturing presence and years of hands-on experience. I genuinely love what I do and feel honored every time I’m trusted with such an important member of your family. I send regular photo updates during my stay so you can always feel connected and reassured. Important Note (Please Read): Moving forward, I only work with families who are comfortable with my 1-year-old daughter joining me for all pet care services. My partner, Robbie, also joins me for all overnight stays. Because of this, it’s essential that any pets I care for are well-socialized and comfortable around children and new adults. If your pet(s) have any history of reactivity or discomfort around babies, children, or unfamiliar people, I kindly ask that we do not move forward with services. Safety comes first for everyone involved. What to Expect: I typically start with a quick phone call to go over the basics. If it feels like a good fit, we then set up a meet-and-greet with your pet(s) to ensure compatibility and go over all important details (house rules, routines, medical needs, vet contacts, favorite activities, and more). These consultations usually last about 30 minutes. My goal is to make sure your pet(s) feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away, and that you feel peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Looking forward to meeting your furry family! I run an online business with a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care in a consistent and dependable way. I’m typically never away from the home for more than 4–5 hours at a time, and I always communicate clearly about my availability before booking. As a new mom, I will have my baby daughter with me during all pet care visits and house sitting stays. Because of this, I only work with pets who are well-socialized and comfortable around infants. When house sitting, I keep my schedule light so I can focus on your pet’s needs and provide a calm, loving environment. Pet care is not just a side gig—it’s something I love and integrate thoughtfully into my week. I work with dogs ranging from 1-85 pounds and have experience with senior pets, special needs pets, and giving medications. I am comfortable using a crate, leash, and harness for your pets safety. I ask that any specific rules in regards to safety be discussed during out meet and greet.

About: I adore both cats and dogs and love opportunities to spend time with them. I have over ten + years of experience taking care of both. I also have experience taking care of pets in their senior years. I love the outdoors and I am very active, I want nothing more to enjoy the outdoors with a fur friend! I am available for house and pet sitting. I work in a restaurant a few nights a week, so I have all day until about 3pm for long walks and playing. I deeply care for animals well being, I do everything I can to make sure pets get enough attention, care and love while their owners are away. I have also been a caretaker for an estate for 12 years so I have a lot of valuable experience in basic home care and maintenance. I was also a farmer so I have your plants under control as well!

About: I’ve been a dog owner and caretaker since I was 10 years old and have lived with dogs in multiple places across the U.S. I’ve had experience with a wide range of breeds and sizes—from my first dog, Cody the Shiba Inu, to my current dog Reese, a Lab/Plott Hound mix—so no size, energy level, or personality makes me nervous. I genuinely think every dog is just as lovable as the next. My dog Reese is now 13 years old, and caring for her as she’s aged has given me extensive experience with senior dogs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, assisting dogs up and down stairs, and adjusting care routines to match a dog’s mobility and comfort needs. I’m patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented when it comes to following an owner’s instructions. I recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire and commissioned into the U.S. Army as an officer. Before heading to training, I have approximately nine months where my schedule is very flexible and dependable. I currently work with a transportation company for about 1–2 weeks each month, but outside of that my availability is wide open. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I enjoy filling my time caring for pets and helping owners feel at ease while they’re away. Because my schedule is consistent and planned well in advance, I’m reliable, punctual, and easy to communicate with. I’m happy to discuss recurring care, extended stays, or last-minute needs whenever possible. Arrival Before your trip, I like to learn as much as possible about your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care needs. This can be shared however you prefer—through a message, a note left at home, or during a meet and greet. As long as I have clear instructions, I’m confident stepping in and keeping your pet comfortable. If you’re not home when I arrive, I’m happy to use whatever access method you prefer, whether that’s a door code, lockbox, or key. ⸻ During My Stay When staying in a client’s home, my priority is to keep everything feeling familiar and low-stress for your pet. I follow their regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and bedtime habits. I have lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, adjusting activity levels, and providing extra patience and care when needed. Whether your pet is energetic or more relaxed, I tailor my care to match their personality and needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and affection while also respecting their space. I’m attentive to safety at all times and aim to create a calm, positive environment while you’re away. I’m also happy to send updates and photos as often as you’d like—once a day, multiple times a day, or just check-ins when requested. I adjust communication to whatever makes you most comfortable. ⸻ Departure Before you return, I make sure your home is left exactly as you left it. This includes tidying up any areas I used, washing dishes if needed, and ensuring everything is clean and orderly. If requested, I’m also happy to water plants, collect mail or packages, and leave everything neatly in one place. After I leave, I can send a final update with photos and a quick summary so you feel fully informed and reassured. ⸻ Final Note At the end of the day, my goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible while you’re away. I take this responsibility seriously and treat both your pet and your home with care and respect.

About: We are a dog/cat family who welcomes all dogs who are good with children, other pets, and our 3-year-old rescue girl Luna! She is a love and would really like to make some friends. I currently work from home and have flexible hours during the week. My weekends are dedicating to being a cheer/soccer/basketball/dance mom, which makes me a professional time juggler! I keep my pet on a leash at all times unless in an area where she is safe to run without being a "flight risk".

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs, along with other animals such as goats and bunnies. There was never a time in my life where my family didn’t own at least one dog. When I'm home I love hiking with my Pyrenees Mountain dog. I currently work a full-time job from 8:30-5 pm Monday through Friday. I will be working remotely so I will be able to hangout with your pet during this time. I currently have a dog and two cats so at the time I am not offering pet boarding in my house but I will watch your pet from your home and provide potty breaks and walks. I will be working from home so I’ll be able to hangout with them during the day while I work.

About: Hello, my name is Hailey! I am 23 years old and currently work as an Emergency Services Assistant at a hospital in Boston. I have grown up around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. I currently have two golden doodles who are full of energy, personality, and love (especially when treats and belly rubs are involved!). I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets, and I will always treat your dog with the same patience and care I give my own. I have experience helping neighbors with pet care and have also worked at a veterinary clinic assisting with daily upkeep and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I would love the opportunity to meet your pup and help provide them with exercise, attention, and companionship! I do have plenty of spare time to hang and play with your pups as I am currently working the overnight shift at the hospital. I have a big fenced in yard and two very friendly golden doodle dogs to keep your pups company. I am also able to crate your dog if needed.

About: I’ve taken care of our dog (black Australian labradoodle) Levi since we got him almost 4 years ago. We also have chickens, so I’ve been around animals for most of my life! I love walking my friend’s dogs, and playing fetch with Levi in our yard, or going on runs together!! 🐾 I’m free at any time on the weekends, and during the week until July 31st I’m available in the early mornings (before 7am) and evenings (after 6pm). After July 31, I’m available any day, any time for the rest of the summer! In my home town, I walk my dog on a leash and make sure that he’s secure. Depending on your dog’s needs, I’m ready and willing to take any additional safety precautions.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Gloucester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Gloucester on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,162 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gloucester. 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 Gloucester. 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 Gloucester.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Gloucester. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
