About: Hello! I am a BIG animal lover. Growing up, we always had pets in our home, ranging from cats, dogs, rabbits and mice to name a few. Recently our family dog of 14 years passed away and now I have only two cats Leo (16 years old) and Taz (5 years old). I'm looking to walk dogs or and cuddle and feed your cat. Reach out! Would love the opportunity to meet your pet! I am currently working from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m looking for dog walks at lunchtime and early evening and I'm also available most weekends. I am caring and trustworthy and would give your pet lots of love and care. Just let me know what you need and I will do my best.
“So grateful for Caitlin! I work from home and was nervous about hiring a dog walker when I recently had to be in the office for a multi-day event. Caitlin took great care of my dog Summer and walked her for the full 30 min (sometimes a bit more!) I really appreciate trustworthy folks and it's a bonus that Summer seemed to really like Caitlin too.”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for pets of all ages and personalities. Whether they're energetic and playful or calm and reserved, I enjoy getting to know what makes each pet unique. I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets throughout the day. As a single mom 50% of the time, my schedule is particularly flexible on my child-free days. I also love being outdoors, so getting outside for walks and exercise with pets is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In my clients' homes, I follow their pet's normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and lots of attention. I take time to get to know each pet's personality so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I tailor my care to their individual needs and treat them like part of the family.
“Bonnie was a godsend, I left my little one with a family member while I went on vacation but they were not able to take her out on regular walks thank God I found Bonnie who was upbeat and confident allowing me to relax and trust her. Bonnie was very good at updating me regarding my little one’s status with picture and videos and I felt like she was always available if I needed to reach out with any questions or concerns, a big plus when you’re out of the country. If you choose Bonnie you can rest assured that your little one will be in the expert hands of a loving and positive soul who will treat your loved one as if they were her own”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something I truly love. While I’m not able to have pets of my own right now, I’d love the opportunity to give that same love and attention to your pets! I work from home on a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility to provide walks, drop-ins, and plenty of companionship when I’m available. I’m also happy to care for pets on weekends when I’m around. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away — and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I work from home on a hybrid schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. On my work-from-home days, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and breaks for walks or potty time. I’m also available on weekends when I’m around and happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. Since I’m currently unable to have pets of my own, I’m excited to use my flexible schedule to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve! Unfortunately, I’m not able to have pets in my own home due to not having a yard and living with people who have severe pet allergies. I don’t have any pet allergies myself, though, and I’m more than happy to travel to your home to provide care wherever your pets are most comfortable!
“Sara helped us out with a walk when our regular dog walker was away! Cleo remembered her and felt at ease even though they’d only met once. We LOVED the photos and detailed thoughtful updates and will 100% book Sara and Ari again. :)”
“Abigail was great will Bennie. He wasn’t keen on walking when she arrived but she ensured he was able to pee, get some energy out in the back of our house and played ball with him. She was timely and communicative when Bennie was being fussy and adapted quickly to make sure he got the most out of their time together.”
About: I've never owned a dog but I've been helping friends and family to take care of theirs. I'll make sure your pup stays healthy and entertained. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate same-day requests. I can pick up your per if necessary. Please don't hesitate to reach out for any questions. My one-bedroom apartment in a pet-friendly building is perfect for a short stay. There's a lovely pond nearby which is perfect for walks.
“Lindsey is wonderful. She is reliable, timely, and very thoughtful. Our pup loves her walks with Lindsey and we trust and appreciate how great she is with our dog. We are repeat customers and I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. I grew up on a farm and was always around animals. I had a dog with special needs, so I am comfortable with special requests. I am currently studying from 12:00-3:00 PM from Monday through Friday, but I am otherwise flexible. I would love to come take care of your pets any time outside of my class :) When I care for your pets in your house, I will follow all of your requests and give your pets lots of love and attention. I am happy to do whatever is needed to give your pets the care they need! I can accept requests for boarding on a case by case basis, as I have a dog at home as well.
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, small mammals and reptiles for most of my life. I'm partial to dogs and rodents but I have a soft spot for all animals. Because pet care is my primary focus, my schedule offers exceptional flexibility throughout the week. I am readily available for regularly scheduled walks, midday drop-ins, and routine feeding sessions. Living and working locally in Somerville allows me to seamlessly adjust to shifting timelines and often accommodate last-minute visit requests for nearby clients. Whether providing care in your home or mine, my priority is keeping your pet's exact routine consistent, safe, and stress-free. I start by identifying the spaces and corners where they feel most comfortable and secure, allowing them to acclimate at their own pace. Once they are at ease, I engage them with their favorite toys—I especially love a high-energy game of tug-of-war with dogs of all sizes! I treat your home with the utmost respect, strictly adhering to your feeding, medication, and house rules so your pet feels completely safe in their natural environment.
About: I strive to establish a real connection with every pet I look after. I've cared for pets with all levels of disabilities and/or medical issues, which can require extra attentiveness or frequent medicine doses. I'm also a relatively active person and love getting extra steps in when we can. I'm a working actor and musician with plenty of time during the day and week! Overnight lodging is great, or just a regular swing thru. Very flexible scheduling wise. I have an anxiety ridden mutt who thrives on routine. We regularly go on walks, spend lots of time outside, and stick to a tight schedule. Treats, love, and extracurriculars always when applicable!
“I’ve been using Johnna as my puppy’s dog walker weekly, and she’s fantastic. She’s friendly, reliable and very communicative. I really appreciate the detailed summaries she leaves after each walk - it’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she is walking.”
“Makenna was absolutely amazing. We went abroad for two weeks and she came twice a day to walk our senior pittie. It was such a relief to have her be so reliable and caring! Anytime Pumba got into something or did something he wasn’t supposed to she reported it to me immediately (he’s prone to snacking on things he shouldn’t on walks). Pumba wasn’t stressed at all and we will definitely be rebooking for future travel!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has become second nature. While caring for your pet is the job, I believe it’s so important to also foster a good relationship with the pet parent! I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your beloved pet at home with a stranger (I’m also a pet parent so I understand!). I want you to feel comfortable with me so you can relax, be fully present, and enjoy your time away 😊 A bit about my experience: Over the years I’ve cared for animals from my family’s golden retriever to my Maine coon cat, to bunnies and horses. I’ve also fostered dogs of all ages, from wiggly puppies to seniors needing extra patience and support. Fostering means I’m used to new dogs in new spaces and how to quickly make them feel comfortable with me and their environment! Those experiences really taught me how to adapt quickly, read animal behavior, and respond calmly in any situation. Fun fact: Many families have told me, “Don’t be surprised if my dog keeps their distance,” only to come home and find their pup happily curled up at my side or their cat coming out of hiding to say hi! I take pride in the way anxious or shy pets feel comfortable and open up to me. As a PhD student, my weekdays vary between going to campus and working from home. Monday-Wednesday I will need to be gone for 7-8 hours while I teach and take classes! The rest of the week I will be working from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. And I’m happy to work from your home if I’m house sitting! I treat every pet as if they were my own. At your home, I’ll respect your routines and preferences, making sure pets feel safe and secure in their familiar space. Safety is always my priority — I’ll keep a close eye during walks, follow your instructions carefully, and ensure your pets feel comfortable and cared for.

Adia has been a great walker for Pierogi. We have a flexible walk time arrangement and she has been very communicative in letting me know what Pierogi’s walk schedule will look like for the week. Adia is very punctual and allows Pierogi to dictate the pace of the walk which is all I wanted for him because he loved to stick his nose in everything which she has hilariously captured in his walk photos. If you need someone reliable, punctual and communicative, Adia is your person!
Olha was a delight to work with and very attentive to my dog's needs and to any specific requests that I made. Luckily, she was available on short notice for both a meet and greet, and then to schedule 2 walks the next day. She obviously loves animals, has direct experience working with them, and is highly competent and responsible. I truly appreciated her responsiveness and professionalism, and my dog loved her! Looking forward to hopefully working with Olha again. She gets all the stars without hesitation!
Logan is awesome! You’d be making a mistake by not going with him. He has been extremely accommodating, listens to all my instructions, and gives me regular updates! My puppy can be a little stubborn and he even goes the extra mile to help out with that. Can’t recommend him enough!
We are so thankful with William! I contacted him last minute and without a doubt he jumped in and took Luna. (I found out later he did an extra effort as he was working all day long and still needed to take more dogs out!) It’s clear how knowledgeable and experienced he is with dogs, he got Luna’s personality in a sec! We’ll def book him very soon!

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 Medford. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
