Dog Walking Mit

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have always been the person who gets excited when there’s a dog in the room. My family has had our dog for the past 10 years, so I’m very comfortable with the day-to-day realities of caring for a dog—from walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping them company to simply making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I’ve also helped care for and pet-sit dogs for friends and others over the years. While I’m new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to being around dogs or taking care of them. I’m a physician by training and currently have a very flexible schedule due to a recent surgery, which gives me plenty of time and attention to devote to the dogs I care for. I’m responsible, dependable, attentive to details, and take seriously the trust involved in having someone else care for a member of your family. Most importantly, I genuinely love dogs and would be thrilled to spend some of my extra time walking, playing with, and caring for yours! My schedule is currently very flexible, with a combination of remote research and other flexible work. I’m available for walks and drop-ins throughout the week in the Cambridge/Boston area and can often accommodate mornings, afternoons, evenings, and last-minute requests. I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine whenever possible. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog—and your home—in someone else’s care. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including your dog’s normal walking route, feeding schedule, medications, and any behavioral or safety considerations. On walks, I’m attentive to traffic, other dogs, and anything else that could pose a risk. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you know your pup is safe and having a good time!

About: Growing up in a multi-dog household, dogs weren’t just pets to me, but they’re my best friends. I am deeply familiar with the day-to-day realities of dog care and naturally understand canine behavior and routines. For puppies, I seamlessly reinforce house-training, crate routines, and basic manners. For older dogs, I bring the patience needed for senior care, including managing slow mobility and following strict medication schedules. Living with multiple dogs has taught me to read subtle body language, so I know exactly when a dog is anxious, over-stimulated or just needs quiet space. My job provides me a unique schedule that fits perfectly into pet care because I often work weekends, I have dedicated days off in the middle of the week. Additionally I work from home one day a week. This setup gives me exceptions midweek flexibility that a standard 9-5 sitter does not have. On my days off and WFH days, pet care is my primary focus. I am fully available for midday walks, daytime drop in visits, or keeping a house-sitting puppy company without the disruption of a strict office schedule. I update my Rover calendar constantly to reflect my weekly event shifts to ensure availability is always accurate and reliable for you. I take pride in learning and replicating your exact house rules, feeding schedules, and favorite walking loops. I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and secure while you are away. I am able to offer your dog true, focused companionship during the daytime hours when they miss you the most.

About: I provide reliable, loving care and treat every pet like family. I'm patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and oral medications if needed. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, and I'm committed to following your pet's routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment in Kenmore Square and make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a comfortable space to relax. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routine closely, respect their home, and provide regular updates with photos so they can feel confident their pet is in good hands.

“Rachel was a huge help when I was out of town for the weekend, walking and feeding my girl who has some behavioral issues. She was communicative, kind, and most of all - great with my pup! Thanks for everything and will definitely book again!”

“Muller can be a little apprehensive about strangers and Alice was able to settle him down and get him on a walk. She is great, and we will definitely schedule walks in the future!”

Laurel S.

“Cameron is punctual and communicates about his visits before arrival, during and after. I will definitely contact him again. My dog is very anxious and he didn’t push her to walk, just kept her company as we discussed.”

Gina G.

“She was one of the best people we have ever had care for our dog. We asked for her help last minute with some dog walks, and she was punctual, thoughtful, very gentle with our sensitive dog, and very reliable. I would highly recommend her!”

About: I have had my own dog since I was born, and through this I fell in love with pets. I then started the care end of it on a smaller scale and then improved once I got more clients. I would go to client's house while they were on vacation to take care of their pets, i.e. walking, feeding, bathroom breaks, and entertainment. I would also walk dogs that needed a break in the day while their parents were away at work. I even started my own dog walking business junior year, but I have a small community so it didn't take off. I got a few replies from this, and did the best of my ability to get there in a timely manner. I hope to end up doing it on a bigger scale this summer and gain even more experience with dogs. I am available all day to check in on your pets as frequently as you would like. I just finished a grad school program and am currently looking at applying to others so I wanted the time in between to be filled with work that I really enjoy. I have a great respect for people’s home and personal items. I understand it can be difficult to let a stranger into your home to care for your animal who often means the world to you however I will work hard to make you and your furry friend comfortable!

“Emma was so wonderful with Reggie. Our dog isn’t always the best with strangers and Emma was so good stepping in and making him comfortable. Will definitely book again.”

“Stacy has been a lifesaver. We moved to the Boston area with little notice, and our mini poodle needed a dog walker on the days me and my spouse were at the office. Stacy stepped in and has taken excellent walks, and is super communicative and responsive. Our pooch and we are super happy with Stacy's service.”

Heather B.

“Ana Christina is fantastic. She clearly loves dogs and is knowledgeable and experienced, and my dog adores her. Ana Chis is also professional, timely, and always responsive. I'd hire her to watch my puppy again in a heartbeat.”

“I’m so happy we found Jeremy to care for our dog! He is attentive and very communicative. I also loved that he thinks ahead of time. For example knowing it would rain he asked us to leave a towel to dry Jackson knowing he would get wet. We’ll definitely ask for his services again!”

About: I grew up on an animal rescue and have been caring for animals my whole life! Extremely comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, cats, and even exotic animals! Im available with a flexible schedule, including weekends and weekdays. Afternoons are preferable but I am happy to adjust to your pet’s schedule and needs. I am experienced with caring for animals who require medications, need specific feeding accommodations, or are high energy on walks. You can trust me to keep your pet safe and cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, including senior dogs and puppies. I am excited to get to know your pet and am patient if they need time to show their personalities! I have experience taking care of multiple dogs simultaneously with different energy levels and can cater to the breed needs of dogs (chasing for herding dogs, fetch for retrievers, etc). I love all pets and am excited to get to know yours!! I am currently a full time law student and am excited to take care of your pet! I’m an avid walker and runner and am always on the go. I go on a morning and evening walk daily for study breaks and would love to take your dog with me. While I don’t have a dog safe household at the moment, but am able to care for animals with a large range of personalities. I have experience walking large dogs, dogs with little to no leash experience, dogs who need to run, and dogs who long to take a leisurely stroll. I have personally had a Labrador (90 lbs), a golden retriever (75 lbs), an aussidoodle (60lbs) and two lovely schnauzers (20lbs). They all had very unique personalities and walking/care needs. Additionally, I had two cats growing up and have cat sat for family/neighbors for years.

“Denise did a fantastic job taking care of our girl. She was highly communicative and super accommodating. Highly recommend!”

About: My rates are low since I'm just starting out on rover!! I have prior experience with Dogs of all sizes and ages. Hyper dogs, calmer dogs, Big and small. I also have experience with cats!! I am ready to tackle taking care of any age, accommodations, whatever it may be!! I also have experience staying over night in a home in order to care for anxious dogs and cats and am ready to communicate if any issues are present!! Currently, during the summer, I am unavailable for visits from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on weekdays, though I can be flexible if needed!! I occasionally will accept bookings outside of my radius and at short notice. If I'm available, I try to be very accommodating and would love to help out if I can. I have full weekend availability as of right now. As my availability changes, I will update my schedule :) I am able to spend time playing, caring, walking, feeding, etc. with your pup. I have experience crating a dog, but usually the dogs are crate trained, or on the smaller side if not. I am also able to be aware and stay aligned with any rules you might have in place for your pet (ex. no pets on the couch etc.)

“I can’t say enough good things about Dejah. She is responsible and communicative, very reliable, and always patient with my dog. An amazing dog walker and a great person for your animal!”
