“Our 2 dogs were well taken care of by Jadeth and Noah while we were away. They came on time and sent us pictures with updates on our dogs. That gave us peace of mind as we tend to be worried of leaving them at home by themselves. We really appreciate their care and walks. Our dogs looked happy to see them. We will definitely reach out to them again next time.”
About: Hi! I’m a warm, caring, professional dog walker looking to add some walks and boarding to my schedule. I absolutely love dogs, and will treat yours as if it were my own with all the love, care and attention they deserve! I am comfortable with puppies, seniors, and even have experience with more reactive pups. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I am a professional dog walker with a local company two days a week, but am looking to add more walks and visits to my schedule. When I’m not dog walking, I’m working on building a sustainable swimwear brand from home, so I have lots of flexibility to work around your schedule. I don’t have any pets of my own, so yours will be the center of attention! I live on the second floor of a two family condo building. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but I live right off the Neponset River Trail and there are lots of great walking route and trails in my neighborhood. If your pet is used to sleeping in your room with you at night, I am happy to have them in my room, and can accommodate crated or uncreated dogs. In general I try to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at home.
“Lauren was so nice and friendly and so good with Cookie. She came thru in a pinch and I am so grateful. Cookie was so happy to see her! I will rebook with Lauren!”
“AMAZING. If you need someone reliable and that goes beyond this is your sitter. She picked up my request last minute. Ann-Marie provide detailed reviews. She took out my girl to parks and different locations. I 100% recommended Ann-Marie and I will be rebooking with her when I need someone to watch Kilala.”
“Nancy stepped in with short notice to cover for my usual dog walker. She was very responsive and even made time for a meet and greet with my pup before the scheduled week of dog walking. She checked in daily, sent pics and was super detailed in her describing her outings and play with my good boy. I highly recommend Nancy and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Jose is awesome, our dog can give walkers a hard time (not wanting to leave the house) and with him, this wasn’t an issue. Great communicator, great with our dog and all around great guy. Thanks for your help!!”
“Jasmine was great! She was very attentive to Theo and made sure to carry him up and down the stairs to avoid injury, gave him his food and washed his paws after the walk. I highly recommend Jasmine as a dogwalker! I will be requesting another dog walk from her soon.”
About: I’m a great sitter because animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies to adulthood, including a mini-poodle named Mikey, who was a cherished part of our family for 11 years. Currently, I have a 2-year-old cat named Cash and a 1.5-year-old dog named Jax. My care also extends to parakeets, other small birds, hamsters, and fish. Additionally, I have always found myself being a sitter for the pets of my relatives and I am currently fostering 2 cats. I have experience with nursing pets back to health after surgeries. I’m currently working part-time, so I have time to hang with the fur-babies! On weekdays, my afternoons are free, I do not work on Friday and Saturdays, and every night is available for possible boarders, as I am home. When caring for pets I prioritize their health, comfort, and emotional well-being. I ensure they’re well-fed by preparing and cooking their food according to their specific dietary needs. If a pet is unwell, I take the time to nurse them back to health with close attention and gentle care. I am also the person that takes my pets to their vet appointments. I also make sure they feel loved and secure by spending quality time with them—petting, cuddling, and playing—tailored to their personality and preferences. Each pet is treated like family, with patience, compassion, and responsibility at the heart of everything I do.
About: I have been a pet sitter for a couple years! Also, I have volunteered and interned at a veterinary hospital these experiences helped me become more informed on pet care. My main priority is providing your pet with the best care!! I will clean water bowl, provide fresh food and any further needs . I currently work a full time job but typically free Monday anytime before 8am and then again after 6:30pm, Tuesday and Thursday anytime from 9-11:30am and then again after 4pm, Wednesday, and Friday anytime from 7-1:30pm. For Saturday anytime in the day works for me and for Sunday anytime before 6am and then again at 3:30pm. My main priority is comfort making sure you are comfortable with entrusting your pet in my care and making sure your pet is comfortable with me. I will do this by allowing the pet to become familiar with me so they aren’t scared and providing treats as well as playful sessions to get them comfortable.
“Angelina was great with our dogs and I was nervous at first because of our breed of the 2 dogs and the size of our bigger dog most people are afraid of pits or are not to fond of them but she handled it very well. Did everything she was supposed to plus more. She was super kind and patient and our dogs loved her instantly. She provided great communication also. I wouldn’t know what we would have done without her while we were out of town but she gave me some relief. This was my first time and experience with the app and I loved it. I would rebook Angelina if I ever need assistance with Brick and Yola again. No matter the height or weight of a dog it didn’t scare her off , nor the excessive barking at times and the fact they love to jump on people lol. She was genuine and loved every moment from my understanding.”
About: Hi, my name is Richard. I grew up taking care of my family’s pets, I love all types of animals but cats and dogs hold a special place in my heart and being around animals has always been second nature to me. I took a break from Rover this past year while I moved and focused on work, but I’m fully back now with an open to give your pets my full attention. I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. That means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. I believe each animal deserves their own personal care and routine, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. With me, your pet will always feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible career working from home. This means I’m always around to give pets the attention they need, whether that’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left waiting for care. I build my schedule around making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I will care for your pet like it is my own. Whether it is in my home or yours I will ensure that they are comfortable, well loved, fed and played with.
“She was amazing! Our dog is very active and excitable and she handled him well. Also- we requested that she come at a specific time and she was right on time everyday. Great pictures and kept us updated on his demeanor. We will use her again. Highly recommend.”
“The best. My dog is an anxious one so I really wanted someone calm and Zack is perfect. My dog actually likes him a lot and feels safe with him. He even listens to him well and wags his tail at him!! For reference, my dog is still afraid of some of my friends I’ve known since he was a puppy and he took to Zack almost immediately.”
“Tavery was awesome with our dog! We had a last minute need for a dog walker and she was available. She provided great updates on an our pup! We'll definitely request her again.”
About: Hello, my name is Marangela. I have 2 years of experience taking care of dogs, cats and snakes! I used to work in AmeriCorp at an animal shelter so I am able to handle a variety of dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of family/friends dogs for the last 10 years! Really missing puppy love and looking forward to helping people around the city care for their pets! I recently finished graduate school. I am waiting for my audiologist license thus I have a lot of free time! My schedule is very flexible, and I’m looking to help in any way I can! I live in a two family home with a lot of space to roam around and plenty of places near by to go on walks. My home is safe and I can make adjustments as needed/required to care for your dog!
About: I've owned and cared for a Boston Terrier(Bosco) the past 6 years and counting. Those who are familiar with the breed understand both the physical and mental energy it takes to keep up. I am willing and able to reliably provide the same amount of effort and care for your pet! As you probably know, the summer time provides a ton of flexibility for those working in education full time like myself. During these months I am available anytime after 12:30PM until 5:30PM Monday through Friday as I am working part time in the Greater Boston area. On Saturday's, I am available any time after 10AM until 6PM. I will provide a safe, relaxing, and mentally stimulating environment for your dog! Whether it be if your pet likes to lay around all day or enjoys play time(or both), they will be in good hands.
“Ange is so lovely! Our boys (two large boys) immediately took a liking to her and did really well with their walks. Definitely will be booking with her again soon”
About: I have never owned my own dog or cat (due to brothers allergies) so I grew up determined to find ways to hang out with other peoples! I’ve watched dogs and cats of all types/ages/personalities. I hope I get the chance to meet your furry friend! I’m currently unemployed, training for a Pilates instructor certification and so I have ample time to look after, feed, and play with the pets! I keep a very clean apartment, with an extra deep clean before pets arrive to ensure nothing is stepped on or eaten, I have ample space for the pet to have their own area or hang out with me and not feel cramped.
About: I grew up with 5 cats and 1 dog. In the recent years I have become the go-to caretaker of my friends’ animals. Recently I have moved to an animal friendly house with a fenced in back yard. I have a part time job giving me plenty of time to walk and care for the animals. I also have a 4 year old daughter who loves and has a deep connection with animals. We live near a bike path and dog friendly neighborhood. I’m working part time as a preschool teacher, allowing me to be home around 1230pm and giving me the afternoon for walks and animal care. Weekends we are mostly free and love to hike! Fenced in back yard. I have a fenced in backyard and a 4 year old child. Will love to communicate beforehand if the animal is house trained and prone to chewing/destroying your things.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Mattapan on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 July 2026, there are 11,093 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Mattapan. 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 Mattapan. 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 Mattapan.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Mattapan. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
