“When our dog sitter had an emergency, Alexa saved the day! She is amazing with our 2 senior beagles, is reliable, and so sweet. I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs in such reliable hands, on short notice. It was an easy decision to have her care for my dogs again and again.”
“Caitlin was great choice to walk our dog Wally. It was a bit of a last minute request and she was super responsive and flexible. We will definitely contact her again if we need a did walker!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I’ve had the opportunity to care for my own pets as well as those of family, friends, and neighbors. I’m a huge animal lover and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I would absolutely love the opportunity to meet and care for your fur baby (or babies) and give them all the love, attention, and care they deserve! I’m currently a full-time student, but I only have to be on campus Friday mornings and occasional Wednesday mornings. This gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the week to spend plenty of time with your pet! I always want pets to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re in my care. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or preferences you have for your pet and will make sure they receive the individualized care they’re used to. My goal is to make your pet feel happy and at home while you’re away!
“Caitlin is superb (and then some!)! Delilah loves seeing her for walks, and Caitlin is incredibly attentive. She learns her cues, and understands Delilah’s needs like no one else. Could not recommend more!”
“Lauren has been so thoughtful and kind with our pup Keira! Keira had recently been bit when Lauren started with her, which meant she had some reactive behavior around other dogs. Lauren kept us updated every walk on how she did, and was open to using some of the training methods we used with Keira to help on walks. I would highly recommend Lauren for walks with your dog!”
“Lisa has been walking our Finn for a little while now and we’re so happy with her services! Great communication, and she sends lots of excellent pics of our pup enjoying his walk. She’s great with Finn and he now gets so excited when he sees her. Will definitely continue to use her services! :)”
“Kristen is an amazing dog walker for our two small pups! She was flexible and willing to start last minute when our previous walker was no longer available. She always provided a photo for me from her visit - it was a nice touch to see my happy pups during my work day : ). She also gave lots of extra snuggles and pets and checked water dishes for me. Overall, Kristen is a fantastic dog walker that I would 100% recommend!!”
“We’re so grateful to have Kristen care for our pups! It’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands whenever we’re away. She always goes above and beyond in taking care of them and they absolutely love her!”
About: I love animals, and am hoping to become a vet. I grew up with a two dogs and a cat, as well as fostering many cats throughout my childhood.

I am currently a student at Tufts University , so I would be able to create a weekly routine that fits with my class schedule I am comfortable doing any tasks or chores related to your pet. I am also comfortable helping with medication or any extra needs for your pet.
“I needed someone to walk our pup for a couple of weeks. Kendra showed up every day and is very responsive. Chelsea 🐾 was happy, and would definitely use her again! Thank you!”
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!

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.
