“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.”
“Deana was amazing with my dog! My dog is still getting used to strangers and is picky about who she will go with and she would cry when Deana would come get her she was so excited. She was a huge help when I broke my leg and I highly recommend her. She will love your animals like you love them.”
“Megan is an absolute gem! Incredibly sweet, deeply patient, and extremely reliable. My dog adores her, and I love the peace of mind having her around gives me. I can’t recommend Megan enough!"”
“If I could I would give Ms. Avery 10 stars I would. She has been amazing to our pup. Our pup absolutely loves and enjoys walks with Ms.Avery. Avery updated us from the time she arrived to the time she left our home. She also took pictures of Brees while on a walk and at home, which we truly appreciated because we were worried about Brees being alone at home. Book her, you won’t regret it. She will love and care for your pup like she cares for ours.”
“Carolynn took care of our large labradoodle dog, Orbit, both for daily walks and occasional boarding at "Camp Carolynn" from the time he was 2 years old to when we finally had to let him go at almost 10 years old. She even tailored her care for him when he was recovering from surgery. Carolynn was absolutely one of his favorite people, he was always super happy to spend time with her and other dogs, and we could always rely on her to take great care of him. We can't recommend Carolynn highly enough!”
“Adam helped walk Koa our female rottie while we were on vacation for 12 days. He was dependable and very polite. He has a unique combination of leadership and a gentle spirit that made him a great fit for out girl. I highly recommend him.”
“Samantha is so kind and patient with my dog, Rudy, who is having a very hard time with our move this year and became reactive towards most things. She walks Rudy regularly and is very communicative and helpful. Rudy adores her. 10/10”

“Mckenna does such a great job of walking the pups. They’re always ecstatic to see her! And she’s very good about making sure everyone is safe and hydrated; when the pavement got too hot for their little paws, she took them back for a quick drink and to decide if it was safe to continue. So grateful for her!”

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 of Dog Walking in Machias is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 8,858 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 Machias. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Machias 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 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:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
