“Another fantastic experience in having Aurora walk Jaxson. Aurora went above and behind all my expectations with walking my dog Jaxson. If the app let me, I’d tip even more than 30% today! Great job and thank you Aurora!!!”
“Nathan was incredible with our dog Penny. He was very attentive to her needs, made sure she got all the belly rubs and snuggles! I could not have asked for a more amazing dog walker.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Lisa has been walking our Finn for a little while now and we’re so happy with her services! Great communication, and she sends lots of excellent pics of our pup enjoying his walk. She’s great with Finn and he now gets so excited when he sees her. Will definitely continue to use her services! :)”
“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: My green flag is, pets love to be around me. I've been taking care of my friend's pets for two years and they love me. I am currently open to work with your schedule. I am free 5 days of the week. Preferably after noon, but I am very flexible I work through pet owner's needs. I try to understand pet's personality. I allow pets to be themselves around me. Safety and care comes first.
About: Veterinary technician working in a vet clinic, almost 4 years in the field. Lifelong animal lover and caregiver. Looking for part time gigs that include more fluffy friends! I’m currently working 3 days a week at the vet clinic (shifts change week to week). Looking to fill up my other days with pet care to keep me active and surrounded by fluffy creatures. I update my availability calendar as my clinic schedule comes out. I live in a two family house (family owned). We have a fenced in backyard for your pup to run around and go potty if they’d like to. I have one cat, who gets along well with dogs (honestly, he just ignores them). If necessary to keep your dog more comfortable, they can be kept separated.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up around dogs and puppies thanks to my dad, a responsible dog breeder. Caring for dogs was a big part of my life from an early age, and I gained hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, ages, and personalities. I grew to love cats as well when my best friend adopted two cats and we all lived together for several years. Since then, I've had the pleasure of pet sitting for puppies, dogs, and cats for friends, family, and clients. I'm dependable, communicative, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for while you're away. As an animal lover who's new to the Boston area and currently unable to have pets in my apartment, pet sitting is a wonderful way for me to spend time with animals while helping pet owners travel or work with peace of mind. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the day. When petsitting at your home, I can be there all day if you have wifi and a place for me to use my laptop, or I can pop in during the day and stay overnight. I always try to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, going on regular walks, playing, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I pay close attention to each pet's individual needs and personality. Safety is my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, harnesses, and leashes are secure, and I closely supervise pets during walks and outdoor time. I also understand the importance of following any instructions you provide regarding your pet's care, behavior, or medical needs. When staying in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the utmost respect. I'm tidy, responsible, and communicative, and I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
“Kayla has been wonderful with Winnie! She is super patient and kind and sends along all the updates and photos. She’s communicative, and always spends time making sure Winnie isn’t anxious when going outside or when playing inside with her.”
About: I grew up taking care of our cats & dogs & gerbils. I have been dog walking and pet sitting in Maine for the last few years. I’ve seen cats, dogs (pugs up to mastiffs and everything between), rabbits, bearded dragons, and watched over a couple small farms. There isn’t an animal i would turn away. Do you have a nosy hound that needs to sniff around? A cat that needs some care while you are out of town? Small animals that need treats and food? Im your lady. I try to get a few walks in every day. I would love for that to be with your furry friends whether you need help in the morning (I’ll have coffee for me treats and treats for the pups) or lunch or evening.g I will make best friends with any animal that has to spend some time away from its family. Doesn't matter if it is an afternoon walk or weekend away I can guarantee your furry friend and I will have happy adventures or snuggling depending on their mood. Maybe even both! We will go on walks, hikes and the occasional swim depending on the weather. Perhaps we will play a little tug of war and ball if that’s what they are into.
“My boy was well taken care of by Heather while my partner and I were gone for a weekend. She made sure he drank water, was fed, walked, and given some cuddle time twice a day. Highly recommended. 🫂”
About: I’ve loved and cared for pets my whole life. I have the most experience with dogs, especially medium to large breeds, and have also cared for bunnies. I’m calm, patient, and energetic, and happy to help reinforce good behavior during your pet’s stay. I work a remote position and largely determine my own schedule. This allows me to fit in pet care all throughout times of the day during the week. Your pet stays in their own familiar environment, which helps keep them comfortable and stress-free. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or a walk, I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every home with respect. You’ll always know your pet is in good hands.
About: Right now I have two bunnies at home but my family and friends always have dogs and cats around so I have a lot of experience taking care of both(also bunnies ofc), especially with elder dogs. I'm a very patient and observant person and animals usually LOVE me! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I can do drop-in visits anytime during the days, I would prefer dog walking in the afternoon more than the morning but that is totally negotiable! My jobs have been very communication/client based so I intend to bring that same level of care and reliability when looking after pets — making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I will ask you about their personalities and preferences before I meet them. I will start slow to earn their trust. Depending on whether they are energetic or shy, I can adapt to be playful or gentle with them too. During walks, I will prepare waste bags and treats if needed. I will also help clean their paws after a rainy/muddy walk. If your pets have specific toys you want me to play with them, I will make sure they have fun too!
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! The "years of experience" I have listed are for professionally looking after other people's pets since I've otherwise been with dogs most of my life. 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.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Malden is $24
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Malden
Yesika has been the greatest dog walker! She is responsive and communicative and kind. When I dropped Achilles off for an overnight stay, he was sooooo excited to see her. I already had no doubts that she was a good sitter, and that confirmed it for me and made me feel even better about having her care for my boy!
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.
Steven walked my dog Dexter for about eight months, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was always kind, professional, and genuinely cared about Dexter’s well-being. Both Steven and Tiffany were communicative, reliable, and flexible whenever schedules changed. We’re moving out of the neighborhood and are genuinely sad to be saying goodbye. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.
Megan is great! She took care of our Yorkie, Mochi, for two walking sessions, and Mochi was always so happy when she returned home. Our puppy tends to be reactive during walks, so we provided Megan with a dog walker guide. Megan carefully read through the guide before the first walk and communicated openly and proactively before each walk. We strongly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
Alicia is a superstar dog walker and we highly recommend her without any reservations. She meets the dogs at their level including running with our high energy labradoodle and cuddling/carrying our little Shih Tzu. They felt so much love and attention from Alicia. We appreciate you so much!

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 .

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.
