“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.”
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life and have always loved looking after them! Growing up my family had pets from dogs, cats, parakeets, bunny’s, chickens, and I loved looking after them like they were my own! I would look after my family members puppies and help potty train them. I believe what truly sets me apart from the other sitters is that I’m not only going to see this as a job but as more. I will take care of others pets as if they were my own with love and care!:) I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies!! As well spend plenty of time with them while attentively taking care of them! I have a big yard where the pets can happily play and run around on! My neighborhood is very pet friendly with a lot of safe passages to walk your fur baby!
About: I’ve owned animals my whole life and have professionally worked with animals for just over a year. I’m a dog trainer always looking for more experience handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, ages, etc. I genuinely just enjoy and love working with animals and helping them out! I have a flexible schedule and am available most days. I’m available most early mornings, afternoons, or late night during the week. Weekends i’m free to help in the evening times. I’m all about safety when it comes to working with animals. I have multiple things on my person at all times to help prevent incidents from happening.
“Carolynn is very personable and obviously loves dogs. My two senior boys both love her, and their daily walks while I'm at work are really helping them to settle into our new house.”
“Adam is fantastic! He's reliable and a quick to respond to messages and requests. He quickly learned my dog's favorite spots in the neighborhood and let's him watch his squirrel friends. He provides reports and pictures. After a long walk with Adam, my dog is ready to nap until I get home from work. Totally recommend Adam!”
“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!”
“Laurel-Ann was great with our two larger than life pups! Even when one wasn’t feeling good, she kept me in the loop with detailed updates and pictures. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: My experience with taking care of pets began when I was 13. My family was enduring a medical emergency and I began to take more responsibility for our pets. At the time, this included 3 dogs (1 pit bull mutt, 2 border collie mutts) and 1 cat. When I was in high school I began pet sitting for a nearby neighbor. I would care for this neighbor's 6 dogs and 2 cats over the course of the last 7 years for varying durations of time (between 4 to 8 days; two times a year). This only ceased when I moved to DC for graduate school! Currently, I dog and house sit on occasion for my sibling's friends. During my time in undergrad, I volunteered at a dog and cat shelter where I would clean kennels, play with cats and dogs, and walk the dogs around the neighborhood. Personally, I own a cat (an orange boy named Cheesy). He is currently staying with my family in Georgia while I finish up graduate school and solidify myself in the workforce. I have experience in giving a variety of medications to dogs, but minimal experience in doing so with cats. I recently finished my graduate program in DC and work part-time in my field of study, but trying to get some extra money when I have a chance! In my current living situation, I am surrounded by two larger dogs and two tuxedo cats who absolutely adore cuddles and attention. When I am spending time with a client's pet in their home, I am sure to clean up after I use an item and clean up thoroughly after the pet. I will often vacuum, at least, once a day depending on the pet's rate of shedding. I enjoy giving my own cat a lot of cuddles, pets and brushes through his fur. With my family's dogs, I love running around with them and throwing a ball (that they do not catch or bring back, but we try). As a recent grad entering the workforce, I am regularly enthralled in working on research projects and job applications and thus would love to have pets to sit and pet while I consider my work. Your pet will be loved on either up close or from a distance depending on their comfort with new people!
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was little. Over the years, my friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets whenever they have to work late or are out of town. I’ve always been responsible, dependable, and trustworthy when it comes to caring for animals, and I truly enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently working as an uber driver so my schedule is very flexible for you and your pets. I can make almost any day or time work for you! I take very good care of my pets at home. Unfortunately I’m not doing boarding at my home but I’d love to stay with your fur baby’s while you are out of town and make sure they are happy and safe.
About: I’ve taken care of 5 dogs so far while their parents are on deployment. I treat every pet like family!! Can’t wait to meet you! College student; I am completely open Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, & Sunday. The other days of the week I am gone at least six hours. I live in an apartment but that has not been an issue because of constant walk around the apartment and trips to the dog park.
“Jennifer is wonderful! She has been great with our dog! She is friendly, communicates very well, is on time, and is happy to follow our dog's lead (which is what we like first our dog). So happy we found her to help with our furry kid!”
About: 2026 update. My lap is nearly always occupied by an 11 year old black cat named Darth Vader. He is bold and social with people, cats, and dogs. Then theres our oldest, Mimi, a 13 year old black cat who is much more timid. Thumbs, our polydactyl calico floof is 6 years old now. Thumbs also hides out often. Both girls have come out of their hidden spots once used to guests. I’ve been around animals as long as I can remember. For many years I had large dogs, pitbulls and mixes. Most of my pets have started off as rescues, but all became loved family members. Our dogs have all crossed the rainbow bridge, but that didn’t remove my talent, passion and care with canines. I currently work part time in Mukilteo. My profession will take priority for roughly 6 hours a week. I do not work overtime, nor on weekends. This seems like a strange question. I care for my pets by feeding them, making sure they have water, cuddling and loving them, walks, and sometimes just naps together.
“Emily is amazing! She has become our regular dog walker for our reacue pup Yoshi. Because he is a rescue, he came to us very sick. She took his kennel cough on in stride and without my asking she offered to confirm for me that he was passing worms in his stool! Seriously, that is above and beyond!!! I feel as though she cares for him as much as I do - letting me know when his behavior is off and alerting me to his needs. She takes great pictures and communicates well. I was skeptical about giving my house key to someone I didnt know - she set me at ease at our meet and greet and was tje best decision we made after taling Yoshi home. Hire her! She is our go to for midday walks.”

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.
