Dog Walkers in Needham Heights, MA

About: I’ve been caring for my own dog since I was 10 years old, which has given me years of hands-on experience with daily pet care and responsibility. I genuinely love working with animals and take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I offer dog sitting, walks, and drop-in visits, and I always tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I treat every dog like my own. I also have experience caring for dogs with health conditions and understand the importance of being gentle, patient, and attentive—especially with older dogs or those needing extra care. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐶✨ I’m currently looking for new jobs, so likely this is going to be only until I find a new job, but I hope I get to meet new people and have fun walking dogs in need! I have made sure my dog does not jump high because her legs are weak and has health conditions so I am very understanding if the dog has any health issues and may be older.

About: I am new to Rover, but I have been caring for dogs and even horses for many years. I used to dog-walk and pet-sit for my neighbors in high school. I am currently a senior in college and have been taking care of animals in my apartment building for some time. I grew up with a pomeranian mix, whom I helped train. I have experience with a variety of breeds and sizes, as well as special needs. I am happy to do a meet and greet with your pet and answer any and all questions you may have! I am currently a college student, and I am only in class 1.5-4 hours a day (Monday-Thursday). I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to spend a lot of time with the pets I look after and give them frequent walks. I am also home a lot of the day to hang out with them! I am happy to come to your home or look after your dog in my apartment. I have an apartment with a fenced-in dog area and plenty of trails for walks. I have had many dogs stay with me in my apartment, and I would be happy to share photos of where your dog would be staying if you board with me!

“Leanne has been my cat's sitter many times and now she's taken care of my friend's high-energy golden retriever Larry! Larry was so happy and cared for. Leanne is the best sitter!”

About: Hi, I’m Shira. I’ve always been the person who ends up spending time with the dog wherever I go. I’ve helped friends and family with their pets for years, from daily walks to weekend care, and I really enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality. Whether your dog loves long, active walks or prefers a slower pace with plenty of sniffing, I’m happy to match their routine. I’m reliable, communicative, and will treat your dog like my own. I’ll keep you updated and make sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. Feel free to reach out. I’d love to meet you and your dog. I intentionally keep my schedule flexible so I can provide dependable walks and drop-ins throughout the week. I value consistency and punctuality, and I make sure each visit gets my full attention so your pet’s routine and comfort always come first. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for your space. I follow instructions carefully, secure all doors and gates, and stay attentive during walks and visits. I provide updates and photos so you feel completely comfortable, and I always leave your home exactly as I found it.

“Tanya did a great job taking our boxer Nala on daily afternoon walks. She was great at communicating any changes in her schedule with me, flexible to meet my needs to care for Nala, and always polite and professional. Thank you so much for you help Tanya! It was comforting knowing that Nala was in good hands while we were away.”

About: I have always been an animal lover. I grew up with bunnies and small animals. Later in life I had dogs. I am always the trusted friend to take care of my loved ones pets while they are away. I would love to help out families in my area! I work mostly from home so I have a lot of availability. I will be able to take your pet out for several bathroom breaks throughout the day and walks. There is a park close by to my home as well for running and playing. I can make several daily visits to homes local to me. I have a medium size dog crate at my home. I can also accommodate any size crate. I have a spacious backyard for lots of outdoor play!

“Bear loves her walks with Alisa. I love seeing the photos and descriptions of her walk, thank you so much! It makes my day!”

“Mara is simply fantastic! I have a 6yr old very timid Jack Russell terrier and Mara was so incredibly patient with her. Never forced her to open up and took it at Zoeys pace ultimately making her feel more comfortable. I get the sweetest pictures and she had listened to all the instructions I’ve left for her. 10/10 would highly recommend her for your dog walking or sitting needs !”
