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.

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 grew up with dogs, cats, and a bunch of other animals, and I have always loved taking care of them. My family, neighbors, and friends have all relied on me to take care of their pets over the years, whether it's for walks, check-ins, or overnights, and I would love to do the same for your pet. I'm a college student and have plenty of time during the week for quick check-ins and walks, and I will be able to stay overnight most weekdays and on weekends. I am very comfortable around dogs and would have no problem going on walks, crating your dog, administering most medicine, or doing any other tasks that may be required.

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: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have had a cat and dog of my own since I was a child, so I know just how much our pets become a part of the family. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for my neighbors’ and friends’ pets while they’ve been away on vacation, giving me experience with keeping pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routines while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and independent, or happiest curled up in a cozy spot, I’ll meet them where they’re comfortable. Most importantly, I’ll treat your fur babies like family and give them the same love, care, and attention I’d want for my own. 🐾❤️ I’m currently in nursing school, so while I do have a structured schedule, I also have plenty time during both the week and weekend to care for your pets. I’m organized, responsible, and comfortable following specific instructions, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications, cleaning litter boxes, or making sure your cat gets plenty of playtime and attention. I’ll always do my best to make caring for your fur baby as seamless and stress-free as possible while you’re away! First things first, I would 100% die for your pet. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific care instructions and routines. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own, while making sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care, and I’ll do everything I can to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m also more than happy to keep you updated with plenty of pictures and updates so you know your baby is happy and doing well! And of course, I am ready to give your pet allll the love and attention they deserve while you are gone!

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: 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: 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.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 7,000 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
  • 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.
