“Ugur provides top-notch service walking our dog. He is kind and friendly. We hired him to walk our 7-month old puppy and she loves him. Although we hired him to walk our dog, when he came for a meet and greet, our cat warmed up to him immediately and let her pet him, which she normally doesn't do for most people. We highly recommend his services!”
About: I've been doing pet care since I was 8 and have lots of experience with animals of all ages and personalities. Typical animal care from me looks like refilling food and water, walks, cleaning litter boxes, and finding creative ways to keep your animals thoroughly entertained.

Please let me know what times work for you. I will always make sure to keep your dogs on leashes when not in fenced in areas to ensure your pup's safety is accounted for.
About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I’ve been caring for pets for 8 years, and nothing makes me happier than getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I work with both dogs and cats and have experience with everything from tiny puppies to slow‑moving seniors, from shy kitties to big, energetic dogs. I grew up in a family that owned two Shar‑Peis, so I’m very comfortable with stubborn, reactive, or strong‑willed breeds. I understand body language, thresholds, and how to build trust with pets who need a little extra patience. Whether your dog is still learning manners or your cat prefers a quiet observer, I meet every animal where they are. I currently have a very open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time and can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether you need morning, midday, or evening visits. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed in a familiar space. I follow your routines exactly, keep your home secure, and double‑check doors and gates before leaving. I’m respectful of your space and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and comfortable.
“Michelle was great! She was right on time to walk Otis and even fed him for us, and sent along pictures of him having a great time. We will definitely book Michelle again in the future.”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, small mammals and reptiles for most of my life. I'm partial to dogs and rodents but I have a soft spot for all animals. Because pet care is my primary focus, my schedule offers exceptional flexibility throughout the week. I am readily available for regularly scheduled walks, midday drop-ins, and routine feeding sessions. Living and working locally in Somerville allows me to seamlessly adjust to shifting timelines and often accommodate last-minute visit requests for nearby clients. Whether providing care in your home or mine, my priority is keeping your pet's exact routine consistent, safe, and stress-free. I start by identifying the spaces and corners where they feel most comfortable and secure, allowing them to acclimate at their own pace. Once they are at ease, I engage them with their favorite toys—I especially love a high-energy game of tug-of-war with dogs of all sizes! I treat your home with the utmost respect, strictly adhering to your feeding, medication, and house rules so your pet feels completely safe in their natural environment.

Paula was incredible. She took the time to visit ahead of her first walk to meet Pico, which we really appreciated. We had a number of unexpected changes to our schedule, and she handled everything with flexibility and grace. Her updates after each walk were thoughtful and reassuring. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her.

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 Lexington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
