“I’ve had Nancy walk my dog several times. She’s great with my dog and is often available on very short notice. I appreciate her great communication. Highly recommend”
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!”
“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.”
“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: 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.
About: What sets me apart is how much patience and attention I give to every pet I care for. I take the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs instead of treating every pet the same. I’m especially comfortable caring for cats and making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m also willing to learn and follow any specific instructions an owner gives me so their pet can get the same care they’re used to. I have open availability during the week and weekends that also includes holidays and special occasions. This makes sure I can fit pet care within my day to day schedule. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re with me. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, playtime, cleaning up, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure to respect each pet’s personality and give them space when they need it. My goal is for both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.
“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.”

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 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: Both of my parents are veterinarians and I grew up working in our clinic and wildlife rehab center. I would walk dogs, clean kennels, trim nails, work with feral cats/kittens, all the grunt work that goes into running a clinic. I've raised multiple dogs,cats,deer,squirrels etc, and have done end of life care with them as well. Currently I have 2 cats. I just completed pastry school and am doing restaurant gigs on the side while looking for a full time position. My weeks are pretty open and I may have availability over weekends as well. I have experience working with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. If your pet has guarding tendencies, or similar behaviors, I would appreciate being informed and an introduction.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 7 years and have been around animals my whole life. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets while they’re away.

I truly treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re gone. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority in my schedule.

I plan my schedule carefully so every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and love they deserve. My goal is always to keep your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal routine and providing dependable, compassionate care. I always prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication when caring for pets. I’m very respectful of each pet’s home and follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care needs. I make sure doors, leashes, and gates are secure, keep pets in safe areas at all times, and never introduce them to unfamiliar animals without permission. I’m attentive, calm, and careful, and I always aim to create a comfortable, stress-free environment where pets feel safe and cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mattapan
Gaby has been so great with my dog, Lily! She has been giving her walks multiple times a week for the last few months and has been nothing but reliable. She is very responsive and communicative and has even been able to help me out with caring for my dog on short notice at times! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker or petsitter!
Nate has been a great dog walker for our dog, Sierra. He provides nice updates about the walks and it looks like Sierra is having a great time. He is easy to communicate with and responds quickly. I will be booking Nate again and I highly recommend him for your dog walking needs.
David is an excellent dog walker who I would recommend to anyone looking. He is courteous, professional and knows dogs well, and rather than just taking my dog on walks he mixes it up with fetch, dog parks and play time. He is always on time and very dependable.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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.

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.
