About: I have been around all different kinds of pets my whole life and have always played a part in looking after and caring for them. I am super close with animals and I love getting to know them and connecting with them on a deeper level as well. Family often relies on me to look after pets while out of town and I have also taken part in some pet sitting jobs outside of family that have included basic walks, day-time visits, and sometimes over-night stays. I am currently taking some college classes but still have a lot of free time throughout the week. I’m not working any other jobs either so I’m pretty flexible aside from when I need to be in class. I try to make sure pets feel comfortable with me in their homes while remaining respectful to their environment and routine. I think it’s important to remain flexible as all pets have wants and needs specific to them.
“Megan is an absolute lifesaver! She is always punctual, incredibly reliable, and my pup gets so excited every time she comes. I always have complete peace of mind knowing my dog is in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommended!”
“Kearstin has been walking our dog Sammi for a little over a month now and it's been a tremendous help. We've been around a couple of times when Kearstin has come by and Sammi is thrilled to see her. We've noticed an improvement in Sammi's attitude when we get home in the afternoon because of the exercise she's getting and the new friend she's made.”
“Kim is the best!! She did so great meeting my semi-reactive dog. She was very patient, friendly, and understanding of my dogs needs and training style. 100% recommend!”
“Micah was amazing with our boy, we were so happy we booked her and will definitely book her again! Thank you so much Micah, knowing our boy was getting his walks while we were out of town gave us such peace of mind and seeing his happy face through pics you sent was awesome!”
About: I'm a certified veterinary assistant. I've spent the past 6 years working in daycare boarding and rescue facilities. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, medicating and microchipping. I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to spend with all types of animals. Doing a job like this allows me to spend more time with my family. I care for every animal differently depending on their needs/ their owners needs. I also use a slip lead while using a regular leash just in case one fails.
“Stop looking and book Kassandra (unless it conflicts with a time I need her). Reliable, responsible, consistent, thoughtful and caring. We are fortunate to have connected with her. She took great care of our 120 pound Rottweiler who adored her and did so for about 2 weeks. Exceptional find.”
About: I have previously worked at a pet store. At the pet store I was surrounded by the most amazing pets that walked in everyday. I have walked and taken care of dogs for over 2 years now. I will assure you that I will do my best in providing what has been requested for your pets and will go above and beyond to make sure they are happy and taken care of while I’m around. If you have any questions please feel free to let me know and I will be sure to answer them in a timely matter. Thank you! Full-time student with lots of availability throughout the day. Would have time to be at home with them or take them on nice walks Fenced yard with lots of trees and grass for your pet to roam. My main focus is for your pet to be healthy and happy
“Adam is always so great with my 2 dogs! They love waking with him and I know they look forward to their fun walks everyday! We couldn’t ask for a better walk buddy for our golden retrievers! Thank you, Adam! 🐶”
“Elizabeth was great! She was so kind, friendly, caring, and great with my dog! She was great at communicating and always responded promptly! She took great care of my dog!”
“So great to have such a reliable person like Jeffrey to walk my puppy. He is prompt, he communicates, well, and takes amazing pictures of my dog along her walk. It’s so great to be able to know that my puppy is in good hands with Jeffrey.”
“We are so thankful for Natasha’s help with Spiro! She was fabulous and gave us such confidence. Her communication is clear, consistent, and kind. We received multiple photos everyday of our boy having fun with Natasha which gave us the reassurance we needed to relax and enjoy our vacation!! Matched with her thorough experience caring for pets and her attention to detail and kindness, we couldn’t be happier. We would definitely book her again with highly highly recommend!! Thank you, Natasha!”

Kristen is wonderful,Panda and I adore her! She was so flexible with her schedule in helping me with Panda while the poor air quality was affecting my asthma. Im so grateful and will be contacting her again for walking and dog sitting as she is very trustworthy and kind.
Emily was great! Availed herself last minute on Valentines Day to walk my little guy, not once but twice. She maintained communication throughout the entire time and I know my boy was well taken care! Thank you Emily, we will be reaching out again: Linus seemed happy and content!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Machias on Rover is $19.26 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 9,025 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Machias. 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 Machias. 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 Machias.

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 Machias. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
