About: I’ve been around and caring for animals for as long as I can remember, with 15 years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve always loved being around animals and understand that every pet has their own needs, routines, and quirks. Whether it’s going for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or simply keeping your pup company, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection. I take pet care seriously and want every owner to feel comfortable knowing their furry family member is in good hands! My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s needs! Need someone to stay overnight or even for a few days? I’m your person! Planning a vacation or an extended trip? Don’t worry, I’d love to help keep your furry family member happy and comfortable while you’re away. Just need someone to stop by, check in, or take your pup for a walk? I’d be more than happy to help with that, too! Whether you need a one-time visit or ongoing care, I’m here to make your life a little easier and your pet’s day a little brighter. 🐾 I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stick to their familiar routines, so I do my best to make every visit feel as stress-free as possible. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick visit, taking your dog on a walk, or staying overnight while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and bedtime routines. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home, and I will always treat your space with respect and keep things clean and tidy. I love sending updates, photos, and messages so you can see how your furry family member is doing. My goal is to give your pet the same love and attention I’d want someone to give my own!

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.

About: I've had dogs my entire life. I have a senior dog of 14 years old, an adult dog of 3 years old, and a puppy of 8 months old. I truly I can't imagine my life without them. It's a challenging but beautiful experience to see them grow up. I am currently a college student athlete. I am mostly free in the mornings after 10am until 2pm or 3pm, when my volleyball practices start. I do not offer my home, however, I'd care for the pets that I am working with using the equipment that my clients offer me. I own a car.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. We’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks, so I’ve had my fair share of taking care of animals. We’ve gotten all our animals when they were babies, so I have experience with all ages. I love animals and my home would feel empty without any. I’m currently have a schedule consisting of classes and basketball. I have a bit going on, but whatever free time I have, I am available! I can stick to a schedule and do everything as close to the pet’s routine as possible. I have time to go on walks and/or let them outside in the client’s yard.

About: Hi! I’m 22 and a college athlete who plays basketball and softball in Boston. We’re currently on break until late January, and I’m looking to pet sit or help out in any way I can. I grew up with dogs and recently lost my own, so spending time with other pups really means a lot to me. I love walks, playtime, and giving dogs lots of attention and cuddles. I’ve also walked dogs for a neighbor and would treat your dog like they’re my own! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. Since I’m currently on break from school until late January, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or overnight care and can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs I will gladly take care of your pets in your home, or even take them on hikes if need be! I am able to help overnight as well as needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was young. I’ve had many dogs over the years and all were loved, cared for, and given a life they deserve. I’m currently working part time and have hybrid classes. So, I have time to meet the needs of families and their fur babies. I am available to drop in the day, or spend nights to make sure your animals are cared for. I make sure they have clean water and food when needed. I let them out to run around and take pets on walks. I brush animals to make their coats soft, and offer baths.

About: Family and friends have relied on me to look after their furry babies for a couple of years now. Drop-ins, dog sitting, dog walking, and cat sitting. Current cat and dog owner. As a pet owner for quite literally my entire life, I can confidently say your fur babies are in good hands. I work in healthcare on a rotating schedule, so it’s kind of difficult to set days and times. Feel free to reach out and we can discuss what you need, which days, and times. I do my best to accommodate you and your baby. Whatever instruction is given to me I will follow in order to keep pets happy and comfortable as well as owners. Keeping pets happy and comfortable is the motive.

About: I have a 7 year old pitbull mix. His name is Diesel and he is the love of my life. I adopted him when he was a little over year old. Unfortunately, he was not well taken care of by his previous owner. We've been through a variety of training and experiences throughout our time together, and it makes me an ideal candidate to care for your pet. I'm specifically experienced in reactivity and aggression, however, I'm happy to care for all pets, with any type of temperament. I work for myself, so my schedule is flexible and I can accommodate most requests within the hours of 8am to 8pm. Early morning and late night are dependent on various factors. I follow whatever method of care the owner prefers. Please provide clear directions, and I am happy to accommodate whatever is needed to ensure your pet is safe and comfortable. I am also open to and recommend meeting the pet before my initial visit. This would be at no additional cost. Any additional met-ups to establish familiarity will be charged at the 30-minute dog walking rate.

About: Young professional, who loves pets! I volunteer at a pet shelter on the weekends, where I play with the animals, take them on walks, help with feeding and basic care, and assist in finding them loving forever homes. Spending time with animals is one of my favorite and most rewarding parts of my week and I bring that same patience, responsibility, and positive energy into everything I do. I currently work a full-time job. My hours are usually from 8am-4pm but I am available both before and after and can pop in during lunch breaks if needed. At this time I will not have pets in my home, but I can assure you that any pet in my care will receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and a safe, comfortable environment. I am committed to following all care instructions closely and treating your pet as if they were my own!

About: Ever since I was introduced toy grandparents dog at a young age, I have been fascinated and comforted by the furry friends we call our pets. Over the years I have pet-sat for friends, family, and neighbors as well. I always take care to follow their specific needs and make sure that as long as I'm there, they receive the amount of care and love necessary to maintain their happy little lifestyle. I am very comfortable going on long walks if necessary to keep your pet fit and healthy, proper meal times are a must, and, of course, pets and belly rubs are free of charge. I am currently waiting on a job to begin by the end of the year, meaning that nothing stands in the way of me taking the utmost care in making sure that your pet is loved and cherished as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard where your pet can play, completely supervised of course. Additionally I will ensure that while your pet is in my care, I will keep a constant watch over them to ensure their safety.

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was young, though never as an official job, mostly for family and friends. I grew up surrounded by animals, including many dogs, cats, and even farm animals. Currently, I have an older Border Collie and a Chihuahua, and they make my days so much better! I love going on daily walks with dogs and playing fetch with them in the backyard. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently not working, so I spend a lot of time at home and have plenty of flexibility to care for your dog. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable and at home. Typically, the first thing I do in the morning is let the dogs outside to go potty, followed by breakfast. I also enjoy going for walks during the morning and again in the afternoon, so your dog can get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. i have a fenced yard and 2 trained dogs to keep your baby with company. I have a large crate at home, which I normally only use for my Border Collie during thunderstorms, as it helps him feel safe. However, if you feel that it would be best to separate the dogs at any point, I have the space and can safely accommodate one of them in the crate if needed.

Mark is incredible, I was in a bind and was called into work last minute. I also just moved to the area and my pup Aura was still getting comfortable to the area. In the coldest negative degree weather, Mark took Aura for 3 walks and each walk was just over 3 miles!!! When I got home, Aura I could tell was so content and happy. Mark even sent the route in which he walked Aura and pictures of Aura's happiness while Mark took care of her! I also informed Mark that we are new to the Area and he assured me that he would take such good care of Aura and completely understands. It is so great to have someone like Mark, who shows interest in your story, and truly cares for the animal and there best interest. It was freezing outside and Mark cared more about the dogs experience and joy to be out and about, then he did over the cold. Thank you so much Mark, you are truly a great person to have in my dogs life!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Maywood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Maywood is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 12,653 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Maywood. 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 Maywood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Maywood after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Maywood. On Rover:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

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.
