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.

Nancy was great with my Setter Georgie! Many people say they'll treat your pup like he/she was theirs. Nancy truly does that! She is quick to respond, on time and my Setter loves his walks with her.

Allison was great to work with—very easy to communicate with and right on time. She took my boxer out for a full hour walk and brought him back happy and clearly feeling much better after taking care of his business….. twice. Would definitely book with her again! 🐶

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.

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! 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.

About: I have taken care of friends’ dogs during trips and overnight visits, feeding, playing with, and walking them. I love spending time with pets and am open to caring for any type of dog. I’m currently looking for temporary work and have a lot of free time! Available for day visits as well as overnight, whatever is needed. I am a gentle and adaptable animal lover and I enjoy playing with, caring for, and spending time with dogs and cats of all kinds.

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover and cat owner with experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and birds. I understand that every pet has unique needs and strive to provide the attentive, loving care they deserve. I have a flexible part-time schedule and primarily offer drop-in visits for cats, dogs, and other small pets. I'm often available for same-day or short-notice requests, and I'm happy to help with vacation coverage or other short-term care needs. My availability is best suited for occasional, as-needed care rather than recurring weekly visits. I always aim to care for pets in a way that keeps them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client's home, I follow their pet's usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), litter box or cleanup care, and plenty of attention and companionship to help them feel at ease while their owner is away.

About: I have always loved taking care of animals since I was young- from dogs, cats, chickens, and fish I have always been surrounded by animals. I have a particular interest in animal behavior and training- I always want to ensure animals feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed when they are in my care. Before moving to Boston, I attended Colorado State University seeking my degree in veterinary medicine- the classes I attended focused on animal behavior, animal environment, and specifically handling large animals such as cattle. During my time there, I acquired my IACUC training for animal handling (can provide if needed, however it technically expired last year) and successfully performed medication administration, vaccine/medication injections, bovine castration, proper animal handling, and more. Unfortunately due to a family emergency I could not finish my degree, however I am looking to complete my animal training certification, as I still love working with animals! While I, myself, do not currently have any pets, my roommate has a cat that I help care for- his name is Boog and he's incredibly cute! I currently work part time Saturday-Monday mornings- after 3pm I am completely free! If your pets can be left alone for about 8-9 hours (travel time depending), I can house sit on these days while working. The rest of the week, I spend time on my hobbies and doing research on animal behavior, meaning I will have plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and whatever else your pet may desire. I like to set up a trial run before any official appointment just to make sure your animal is comfortable with me and vice versa! This gives a great time where your animal has a familiar person (you!) to reassure them that I (a stranger) am no threat, as well as going over care instructions, any medical concerns, and your typical routine for your pet(s).

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.

About: Dogs are our friends and we should treat our friends how we would like to be treated! I grew up always having dogs and cats around and I couldn’t imagine it any other way! I have one cat at home who is deeply spoiled. I live close to many parks and will be more than happy take them for walks and runs. I will bring along poo bags and a collapsible water bowl to make sure your pup is well hydrated during our walk. I work Monday through Friday from 9am-5pm. I will be available Monday through Friday for evening walks and anytime on the weekends. I will be able to give your dog a bath and a good brush after a walk if needed!

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’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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Mattapan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Mattapan on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 11,040 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:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
