“Mirabel was so awesome! She helped me out last minute by walking Theo and even though he gave her lots of trouble by hiding from her at first, she was so patient with him and still took him on a long walk. She provided a thorough note and lots of photos which I greatly appreciated. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: Hello, my name is Stacy and I’m 34 years old. I joined Rover because I love spending time with pets but I’m not in a position to have my own. Since having joined Rover, I’ve worked with reactive dogs, puppies a couple of weeks old, intact dogs and dogs having undergone surgery. I’ve also either pet sat or lived with Labrador Retrievers, Pugs, Poodles, Chihuahuas, Old English Bulldogs, Shih Tzus, Schnauzers, Irish Wolfhounds, Pitbulls, German Shepherds, Great Danes and others. This is aside from the cats, reptiles and tarantulas I’ve either sat for or interacted with during a long term period. As of April 2026, my longest stay (over two weeks) has been for a dog with cancer. It’s been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I’m available to sit, do drop-ins and walks every day of the week. I’m a small business owner in a separate industry and grateful for the flexibility. I generally require a 3 day notice for house sitting, walks and drop-ins. There are days in which I can make myself available the same day ONLY for walks and drop-ins. You will know if I am available for same day walks and drop-ins if I have appeared in your search results. You are welcome to submit a request for same day service then. I do not do walks and drop-ins for others during a stay if a client has indicated they are uncomfortable with this or if it conflicts with another pets walking/feeding time. I do not bring guests of any kind to client’s homes. It is fine if clients have service workers such as house cleaners entering the home, as long as I am made aware of the time of their arrival. I generally do not wear shoes in a client’s home and I always clean up after myself if staying for several hours or more. I may bring house slippers to wear inside based on the circumstances. I am slightly anemic so I ask that you keep your place at a reasonable temperature. You may also provide a few blankets.
“Alicia did a great job doing lunch time walks for a week on short notice. She was communicative, on time, and handled our rescue pup’s needs and tricky walking style extremely well! Would definitely hire again, and enthusiastically recommend.”
“Very communicative throughout the session. Cleo and i’s first time using Rover and Kieran made the experience super easy and was very patient with Cleo to ensure she was able to fully utilize her potty break & get her steps in :)”
“Kristen was absolutely terrific. Our old dog has to spend long days alone when we are at work and Kristen came to visit her for walks and friendship while we were gone. She always sent wonderful updates about their adventures and was clearly very sweet to our old girl in addition to getting her some exercise. She even brought her a toy and left us a sweet card. I can't say enough about Kristen and how much we appreciated her. I can enthusiastically recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind knowing that their pet will be well loved and cared for.”
“Maeve was excellent. She was always on time to get Copley and he very much look forward to the walks. She also took very great pictures of their outings which were awesome to see.”
“AMAZING. If you need someone reliable and that goes beyond this is your sitter. She picked up my request last minute. Ann-Marie provide detailed reviews. She took out my girl to parks and different locations. I 100% recommended Ann-Marie and I will be rebooking with her when I need someone to watch Kilala.”
About: I have spent a lot of time taking care of my own animals, family members animals, and neighbors animals. I’ve never met a cat or dog that I didn’t love. Visiting my parents and hanging out with my kitty is my biggest joy. All of my cats and dogs over the years have been my biggest sources of joy!! I currently do not have a job so I am available to walk your animals or pet sit whenever is needed. I hear for whatever is the most helpful to you! I unfortunately cannot care for your pets at my apartment but I’m happy to in your home!! I am very good at following directions to a T so I will make sure to not overstep and cross any boundaries.
“Morgan and Meaghan were great! They were very easy to work with. On top of that, they were very flexible with our last minute request. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good dog sitter.”
“Megan took Yuca for a great walk and sent us some of the nicest photos we’ve ever seen of him. It seemed like he got some good exercise. Megan was also very quick and responsive on short notice. Thanks so much!”
About: Along with growing up having two large dogs and walking them every day, I have been taking care of cats since I was 14 years old! I’ve helped with training my own puppy and have cat-sitted for young, old, and even diabetic little guys. I am currently interning part-time, but I have loads of time in the afternoon to walk, play, and hang out with your pups. I am especially free on Mondays and open for walks on the weekend! I love all animals and am happy to play and run with them outside. They will feel nothing but love and care from me when we spend time together outside or in your home!
“Ella has been an outstanding regular dog walker for us, with walk 3 times per week. She is extremely responsive, reliable and friendly and she has gone above and beyond to take excellent care of our dog. Highly recommend her!”
“Elsa had a great walk with Gabriel, despite all the rain and mud! I appreciate his patience with Elsa, and was happy to show Gabriel how we do our walks! I believe Gabriel has a real appreciation and love for dogs which is what matters most!”
About: I currently have 2 cats and I have had experience pet sitting a variety of pets (dogs, cats, birds). I have also fostered dogs including puppies. I’m looking forward to meeting your pets! I am a current grad student pursuing my MPH. My calendar is always updated so feel free to send requests and we can figure out a time that works for both of us! I will always respond to messages as soon as I can and stay in communication as well:) I cannot board any animals at my own place but I am happy to come by and walk/spend some time playing with your pet! Please let me know if there is anything I need to be aware of or any house rules! Also for any dogs that I am taking out on walks please let me know ahead of time if they are okay greeting other dogs or if we should keep some distance for everyone’s safety:)
“Debra was scheduled to walk my dog 4 days one week while I was away and due to bad weather we canceled 2 of the days. She was flexible with scheduling a meet and greet, very communicative all week when some hiccups arose, and very loving to my dog. I’m booking her again asap!”
About: Have raised dogs since I was little and love meeting new dogs at the park! I enjoy taking my friend's dogs for walks so they recommended I join this app. I work set hours which makes scheduling easy and also am often work from home! I live near Jamaica Pond and the arboretum which are perfect for dog walks, as well :) I live in a clean home and respect other homes as I do my own. Dogs and cats alike, I give them cuddles, quality time, and play time!
About: My name is my-tae ( Maite) and I was raised in an environment surrounded by numerous farm animals. I have always had a natural affinity for animals and a passion for assisting all types, regardless of their size. I am currently pursuing a career as a veterinary technician. At present, I am the proud owner of two small dogs, whom I consider my angels, a cat named Angie, and a bearded dragon named "Princess Bubblegum". My greatest source of happiness comes from aiding others. I am thankful for the opportunity to share my love for animals as I am currently employed at an animal hospital, and my dedication to helping every animal continues to grow each day. Your beloved pet is in safe hands. I work part-time at night and have some open slots in my schedule for additional work. I am also available for overnight boarding services. I have experience with exotic reptiles . I possess great patience and can create a nurturing environment for your pet, walks & ensuring their safety and enjoyment. I can administer medication. :)
About: I have taken care of various breeds of dogs and cats including walking, feeding, providing medications, cleaning up after, and playing with animals of all ages. I work from home with a flexible schedule and can be available to check on cats or walk pups throughout the day. Also available early mornings or late evening. I am very careful and take time to familiarize myself with each pets homes, surroundings, and supplies such as collars, leashes, doors, and gates to ensure safety while at home or on walks.

Julia was able to walk our dog twice over the weekend upon last minute notice. We just had a baby and needed our Maple walked, and Julia was so helpful in getting her exercised. She was mindful of the heat and our dog’s short snout and made sure to give her water and breaks in this summer weather. We’re so thankful.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Jamaica Plain on Rover is $23.54 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 11,035 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Jamaica Plain. 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 Jamaica Plain. 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 Jamaica Plain.
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 Jamaica Plain. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
