About: I am a corporate gal with a work from home job who loves pets of all types and sizes. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, and chickens and have spent time volunteering at animal shelters and caring for others’ pets since I was very young. I work from home, so my schedule is very adaptable. I take meetings or draft documents all day, with plenty of breaks in between for play time, potty time, or exercise for your pets. Since I am home with your pet while I work, they will be very well supervised. I have experience working and living with escape artists and know how to handle sneaky little friends!
“Yuting has done such an amazing job with my puppy Macy over the last month. She has consistently been on time to take Macy on her weekly walks and goes above and beyond to make sure she has water after the walks and treats to help ease her anxiety prior to her leaving. She is great with communication; always checking in and confirming times for walks. She is very flexible and often is able to accommodate needs on a short notice. She has been nothing short of amazing and I highly recommend her! (P.S. She's great with puppies!)”
“Daniel was great and a huge lifesaver on such short notice. He sent me pictures at the beginning and end of Leroy's walk which I really appreciated. Will definitely use him again.”
“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.”
“Heather is amazing with our dogs! She is so patient and has taken the time to get to know their unique personalities- and work with them! Both of our dogs can be a bit vocal on leash, and she has handled them so well. She walks them 3x a week and is always so good at communicating what time she will be there, and how the boys were with her. Highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs!”
About: Animals have always been part of my life. I grew up surrounded by pets and have experience raising cats and dogs from kitten and puppy stages to adulthood. I am certified by the American Red Cross in cat and dog first aid, and I have experience administering oral, optical, and topical medications to pets. I’m also the proud mom of a sweet 8-year-old cat named Theo. I work remotely, so I have some freedom to come and check on your pets throughout the day. The time I spend caring for them is always the highlight of my day! I know pets feel safest in their own space, so I keep their normal feeding, play, and walk routines while giving them lots of love and company. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I give my own.
About: I've never owned a dog but I've been helping friends and family to take care of theirs. I'll make sure your pup stays healthy and entertained. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate same-day requests. I can pick up your per if necessary. Please don't hesitate to reach out for any questions. My one-bedroom apartment in a pet-friendly building is perfect for a short stay. There's a lovely pond nearby which is perfect for walks.
About: I am new to rover but I have loved dogs my entire life! I was raised with small dogs but every dog size has my heart! I’ve been helping family/friends walk or take care of their own Cats and Dogs if needed for 5 years now! During the school year I am a full time Special Education preschool Substitute teacher, however in the summer, weekends, or after school hours you will find me playing tug of war with my dog, misting my Crested gecko’s tank, feeding my 4 goldfish and aquatic frog, or cuddling my cat! Growing up I would help walk family member's dogs around the neighborhood, and continue to do that with my own dog. I will occasionally help out my aunt with her dogs when she is on a vacation and she needs them to be let out and be fed! I have also helped a friend out who needed someone to look after their cat for a few days, who had to take medication! My cat is more on the shy side so when I do get those moments with him I make sure to play, and cuddle as much as I can sneak in!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. I grew up on a farm and was always around animals. I had a dog with special needs, so I am comfortable with special requests. I am currently studying from 12:00-3:00 PM from Monday through Friday, but I am otherwise flexible. I would love to come take care of your pets any time outside of my class :) When I care for your pets in your house, I will follow all of your requests and give your pets lots of love and attention. I am happy to do whatever is needed to give your pets the care they need! I can accept requests for boarding on a case by case basis, as I have a dog at home as well.
About: Hi, I’m Anna—it's great to meet you! I'm based in Malden, MA and serve throughout the area; Malden, Everett, Melrose, Somerville, Medford, and more. I have experience with dogs of all kinds—elderly, reactive, big, small, high-energy, and stubborn—and I bring the patience and care needed to give your best friend the attention they deserve. My own dog, Churro, is a reactive rescue, so I truly understand the extra love and support some pups need. I'll treat your dog like my own, with plenty of play, cuddles, and photo updates to keep you in the loop. Feel free to message me with any questions—I'm available most days and happy to help! I work a flexible schedule so with about a weeks notice I can move my schedule around to make room for you. Unfortunately, because I already have a dog in my home I do not bring my clients dogs into my apartment ! All care is done at the clients home. I am available for dog walks or drop in care most early mornings and evenings. My work schedule can be quite flexible so with a week's booking in advance I likely can make anything work. I provide overnight care at the client's home within a few miles of my home, or drop-in walks (potty breaks, 30 min - 1hr+walks, and/or play sessions. I am proactive in ensuring safety of your pet, a pro at navigating reactivity situations, and can follow any special directions you provide me to a T. I do have my own dog at home , so will be coming and going to take care of her as well for any multi day care.
About: I grew up with two silky terriers and have done a lot of overnight dog-watching for friends and family. I've walked leash-reactive dogs before as well, so I'm keen on making sure dogs with special needs are met! I've otherwise been with dogs most of my life and would love to be your best friend’s newest pal. I work from home 2 days per week, so while I’m busy most of the day, I can take periodic breaks to take your dog out for walks or pee breaks. My house is dog-proof with a small enclosed patio instead of a back yard. After walks we usually just play a bit and I do low key activities like TV to keep an easy eye on the dog.
“Jamie clearly takes his responsibilities seriously and takes the utmost care of our dog. As first time dog owners, we were nervous to leave our pup in someone else’s care, and how our pup would react to someone else being in the home. Those nerves quickly vanished, and we as well as our puppy enjoy having Jamie come over to walk him and care for him. He is very professional and very caring toward our dog, which is all we could ask for!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs which makes taking care of them super easy and rewarding! I am pretty flexible when it comes to pet sitting, but I’m happy to have a conversation to make sure I’m the right fit for your needs! I currently have relatively open availability during the week to fit a variety of needs, just let me know! I will also be around on the weekends around the holidays. I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs! While Im certainly not a dog trainer I feel comfortable with a wide variety of temperaments. One of my dogs is a bit of a problem child so Im used to reading body language and such to make sure he is comfortable and I am safe.
“Felipe has been a complete godsend in our lives with our 2 yr old pitty, nena! He is always super responsive, trustworthy and always is so sweet with our pup. We know he treats her with love and as his own when she’s under his care on walks. He consistently leaves us detailed reviews of the walk and tells us how sweet shes been with him, He’s very caring and feel, We’re all lucky to have him. Would absolutely without hesitation refer him to anyone looking for walks or other services that he offers. You and your pup are in great hands 🖤”
About: I grew up with dogs around me in my family and have been lucky enough to become an aunt to some of my friends dogs as well! I don't have training skills outside of what I've done to train our family dog. I do have a great understanding and respect for a dogs space and what can trigger them though. I've been around dogs that are rescues and understand that they have been through trauma so I know how much trust needs to be earned. I am willing to be patient and do what I can to make the day easier for you and your pup! I currently work Monday-Friday from 9-5 but my schedule is pretty flexible. I am about to get a walk in when it’s needed and it won’t interrupt my day. I want to make your dog feel comfortable and I want it to be an exciting part of the day. Being still fairly new to this area and not having a pet of my own, I am looking to get some puppy therapy while giving your dog some exercise as well.
“Adrian was friendly and seems like a great dog walker/sitter for our pup. He took her for a long walk and seemed attentive to her needs - we will definitely use him again for more walks and sitting as well.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Malden is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Malden
Lily has been going on walks with Isabel for the past week, and she has been absolutely wonderful! Isabel has such a warm, enthusiastic energy and clearly genuinely loves spending time with dogs, and Lily has been so happy going on his long walks with her. She’s incredibly thoughtful and attentive, always making sure his water is filled, and when Lily had an unexpected accident in the house one day, she even went above and beyond to clean it up for us. She’s also very knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior, wonderfully communicative and understanding, and just an absolute pleasure to work with. I’m so appreciative of the care and enthusiasm she brings to every walk!
Yingzi was a wonderful help when I needed a dog walker in a pinch. She was very polite, professional, and made sure she understood all my dog's needs! Yangzi clearly loves and understands dogs and I could tell that my dog Katana loved walking with her! She's very thoughtful and I would definitely recommend her to others.
Alexa was a superstar!! She was always on time and took amazing care of my energetic dog when I hurt my knee. She also brought up my packages which was super helpful. She is super sweet and I will definitely be using her again or referring her to friends in the future! Thanks again Alexa!

I couldn't have asked for a better Rover sitter! From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in great hands. She sent regular updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful messages that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Her home was clean and she only takes one dog at a time. When I picked up my dog, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had an amazing stay. It's obvious she genuinely love animals and treat every pet like their own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable Rover sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my pup!
Sam is incredible! She has an innate love of dogs that absolutely comes through in how she relates to them. Our dog Ari can be a bit slow to warm up to others and she adored Sam immediately. Not only that, but Sam is prompt, reliable, and communicative. You never have to worry about your dog being well taken care of with Sam. Will definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 September 2026, there are 10,405 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 your Malden. 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 Malden.

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:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
