“Tatiana was responsive and I had no issues with her service. However, I would a brief summary of how Enzo did post walk and more than 2 photos. Given the weather these past couple of days I understand the urgency of get through the walk quickly.”
“Danny has been absolutely wonderful with West. From the very beginning, it was clear how knowledgeable and experienced he is with dogs. He takes the time to understand West's personality, needs, and energy level, and it shows in every interaction. Danny is reliable, professional, and genuinely loves what he does. He has also shared helpful insights and advice that have been incredibly valuable. I highly recommend Danny to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring dog walker.”
About: Hello! I am a BIG animal lover. Growing up, we always had pets in our home, ranging from cats, dogs, rabbits and mice to name a few.

“Olha was a delight to work with and very attentive to my dog's needs and to any specific requests that I made. Luckily, she was available on short notice for both a meet and greet, and then to schedule 2 walks the next day. She obviously loves animals, has direct experience working with them, and is highly competent and responsible. I truly appreciated her responsiveness and professionalism, and my dog loved her! Looking forward to hopefully working with Olha again. She gets all the stars without hesitation!”

“Samantha is a great communicator and caretaker. Samantha is a regular dogwalker for my medium/large rescue lab/shepherd mix named Tofu, who has some level of anxiety. Samantha always updates me if there are changes in schedule or with Tofu’s behaviors during the walk. Samantha also asks questions and is attentive to Tofu’s needs, and has been building a positive consistent relationship. Thank you, Samantha for giving Tofu the exercise he needs!”
“Abigail was great will Bennie. He wasn’t keen on walking when she arrived but she ensured he was able to pee, get some energy out in the back of our house and played ball with him. She was timely and communicative when Bennie was being fussy and adapted quickly to make sure he got the most out of their time together.”

About: Ive always had a great love and passion for animals! I grew up on a farm in southern california and from a young age all the way up till i left my family home I took care of dogs, cows, horses etc! I think my favorite part of all from farming was grooming, and shining the animals; and above all, making sure they were well loved, fed, and taken care of! I was very blessed to have the opportunity to be able to grow up like this and learn so many important skills. I do currently work part time as a server. I am currently in college as well, but I am flexible, through some mornings, some afternoons and some full days! Our family house does not have a very large yard, but we do live in a suburban area where there are lots of nearby parks and hills for walking.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Malden is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Malden
Yingzi was such a kind and caring companion for Turner. She went above and beyond. She really cared for his moods and needs and documented their adventures in her charming reports! Lots of pictures. Very respectful of our home. Thank you, Yingzi, for giving Turner such a nice time with you.
Heather is awesome! She has been walking my dog regularly for a few weeks and has been wonderful with him! He’s a big guy and is iffy with other dogs and it’s been great to be able to trust Heather with him while I’m at work and I love seeing the pictures on the Rover cards.
Olha was a delight to work with and very attentive to my dog's needs and to any specific requests that I made. Luckily, she was available on short notice for both a meet and greet, and then to schedule 2 walks the next day. She obviously loves animals, has direct experience working with them, and is highly competent and responsible. I truly appreciated her responsiveness and professionalism, and my dog loved her! Looking forward to hopefully working with Olha again. She gets all the stars without hesitation!
Logan is awesome! You’d be making a mistake by not going with him. He has been extremely accommodating, listens to all my instructions, and gives me regular updates! My puppy can be a little stubborn and he even goes the extra mile to help out with that. Can’t recommend him enough!
Maren was so kind and patient with our little guy! He’s a tiny senior dog who can be a bit stubborn at times (though very cute), and Maren understood and was so excited to hang out with him. I had such peace of mind for the week I was away. Maren is a dog person to the core!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Malden is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $39 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 10,274 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Malden. 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 Malden. 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 Malden 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 Malden. On Rover:
- 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 89% 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.
