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: 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.

“Brooke was amazing caring for our dog Zoey while we were away. We were hesitant on which route to take to care for Zoey on our 6 day vacation. We decided on using Brooke with multiple services and she exceeded our expectations. She was in contact with us daily with photos and communication. I will most definitely be recommending her to other dog families in need.”

About: My name is Meryn DeSimone, I am 22 and recently graduated from Elon University. I've taken care of a variety of different of animals and truly love spending time with pets! I currently have a chinchilla, Frank and a leopard gecko, Sally. My parents have two dogs also, Kip and Hammy and I have grown up with having dogs and cats around so they are second nature to me. I consider myself to be an organized and dedicated person with a big heart for animals. I would be more than happy to assist with any local pet care needs. I have plenty of time in the afternoon after my classes and I would love to spend that time going on a walk or taking care of pets! I can walk the dogs for long enough to make sure they are tired, feed them, clean up after them and even give medications or special requests that the animals would need!

About: I am great with all dogs. I love taking care of them and enjoy taking them for walks just to see how happy they are to be outside and exploring nature. Depending on your dogs personality, I would be happy to play with them or if they prefer to hangout more quietly I’ll cuddle up with them while I complete schoolwork or watch a movie. My family has had dogs my entire life so I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs. Additionally, If your dog likes playing with other dogs, I have two that love to play! I would be happy to take them with me for walks, and give them new friends (and more importantly help them get rid of all that energy). My dogs don’t travel with me all the time so if your dog isn’t a fan of others I’ll make sure to leave them at home. My hope is to give your dog attention that will make them feel safe and cared for when you are not around.

About: I am a full-time (remote) student at UMass and dog-sitter extraordinaire! I have a lot of scheduling flexibility and I don’t mind last minute bookings. Try me. I am a student and I study remotely so have the flexibility to accommodate daily visits & drop-ins for walks, feeding/potty breaks, playtime or overnight stays. Familiarity and routine are important for your pet in your absence. I prefer to come to your pet in their home for play, feeding, walks etc. so they won’t suffer unnecessary anxiety or stress from an unfamiliar environment, whether it be for drop-ins or overnight stays.

About: Hi there, my name is Don and I am an experienced dog owner looking to help families in need of a dog sitter or walker.

Feel free to message me with any questions, and I look forward to meeting you and your fury friend! -Don My work schedule is very flexible as I’m working from home most of the week. I’m an early riser and usually like to jumpstart my day with a walk. I take your pet’s safety and wellbeing to the upmost level and I’d treat them just as my own.

About: I’ve had a dog of my own since I was 14, and throughout the years I’ve also cared for other dogs for friends, family, and others. This has given me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a calmer approach. I’m patient, responsible, and focused on making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking to their normal routine. What sets me apart is the genuine care I give and how I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their happiness and well-being. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I make sure to plan my day around each pet’s needs so they get consistent attention, care, and companionship. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, respect their space, and keep pets on their normal routine to reduce stress. I pay close attention during walks, keep pets secure, and make sure they are always supervised. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners by being reliable, attentive, and caring.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Gloucester is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $42 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 6,998 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 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 , 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 Gloucester 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gloucester. On Rover:

  • 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
