“Claudia was great with our dog who is very anxious by nature. She was on time and very responsible in communication with me through Rover. I felt great peace of mind knowing our dog was walked and well taken care of while we had a couple of long days at work. Highly recommend!”
About: As much as I love playing with puppies I have a fondness for senior dogs. I have spent more time caring for senior dogs and enjoy being around them. I worked nights and was always available for vet appointments. My dog Nicholas went to aquatherapy often and my Pug did acupuncture. I have cared for dogs needing meds, diaper changes, extra lifts, & short walks that required a long time. I often had dogs that needed fresh or homemade food and lots of treats & love. Being retired I am often home working on projects. I also am fortunate to have friends all over the country. I go to their homes and care for their pets while they vacation. I currently have no pets. I live 50ft to the paths along the Charles River. It is a great place to walk dogs. We come upon small wildlife, other dogs and lots of joggers. Some dogs still get excited need some training and treats. I have spent hours out there sitting with pets.
“Sunny is fabulous with animals. Our Austrailian Cattle Dog is not the easiest of breeds and he formed a rappore with her very quickly. Sunny is also responsive, responsibile, and a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend her!”
About: I'm a musician & nonprofit administrator (WFH) with flexibility in my schedule and a lot of love and care to give! My late dog was reactive and I constantly had to be attuned to her emotional state, so I understand the nuances of dog personalities, though every dog teaches me something new. I have previously fostered dogs as well. I grew up with horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and hamsters, and aspired to be an equine vet once upon a time! I am a freelancing musician and also have an admin job - if I am not away traveling, I am almost always home and flexible with my schedule. My home is very quiet, no other pets, and no kids. It is on the 2nd floor via stairs. There are great walking routes nearby including the river, and we can discuss taking your dog for runs or trail outings depending on your dog's training.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs from young pups through dogs in their final years, as well as cats of various ages. I grew up with 1-2 dogs in our household at all times, several bunnies for which I was the primary caregiver as a kid and teenager, and frequent interactions with my friends’ cats. I am a responsible oldest daughter and love meeting and caring for animals!! I work in an elementary school, so once the school year starts I will be busy from approximately 7am to 4pm each week day. I have a lot of availability on weekends and more daytime availability during the summer and school breaks. I always follow the pet parents’ instructions closely because they know their pets best. I treat all pets with care and love. In particular, with dogs, I enjoy taking them on long walks if they are up for it. While pet sitting, I make sure to spend time with the pets while I am not at work (not coming back simply for their care routine).
“Scout had a great first week with Aaron - she seemed happy with the walks and very comfortable with him. From the human side, he's a good and responsive communicator, and responsible around scheduling and closing up the house. He clearly loves dogs and has a good way with them. Thumbs up!”

“Paige was great wiTh my dog from start to finish ! She put my mind at ease while texting prior to walk and during the walk she went above and beyond taking my dog to a park closeby ! Thanks so much!”
“Jonathan replied to a very last minute request from us, and provided top notch care to our stranger-wary dog. He was communicative and kind and we would ask him for help in a heartbeat should we need to again.”
About: I love caring for dogs and find myself craving more time with these special pets. I lost my dog a few years ago but I am not ready to adopt my own quite yet.

I have a pretty flexible schedule I have a fenced yard and a pet proof home. I live in a quirt neighborhood close by to a park so while walking and caring for the dog we will not be exposed to busy environments

About: Howdy! My name is Natalie and any dog I've met I have loved like my own. Growing up I had my fluffy 90lb Labradoodle and two sweet guinea pigs. Aside from my own pup, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs and care for their cats. I currently have a full time job where I have to go into the office Monday-Thursday but an available for walks and drop-in on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I live in a small apartment in Brighton MA across the street from a wonderful reservoir and less than a mile away from several parks! I am a very active person so would be a great host for an athletic or active dog! However, if your dog is less active, I can easily bring my activity level to where your dog is happy and comfortable. I allow pets on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to.
“Emily is fantastic. My pup loves her and she has been nothing but great help!! She also writes cute notes as well, which I really like. It did put me at ease when I am away from my dog. Don't hesitate. I'm sure you will love her too.”
About: I have been a dog Walker and sitter for about 8 years now, and I also have two dogs of my own that I love! I do have a full time job, where I work a hybrid schedule, so I am sometimes able to do mid day walks, evening walks, and also pet sitting over nights on weekends or weekdays. I walk my dogs everyday at least 3 times a day, and when I am dog walking for clients, I will give them as many walks as they need, for at least 20 minutes.
About: Have taken care of friends’ dog whether for some hours or overnight. Only accept 1-2 dogs at times so the place will not be crowded. Generous in time when walking neighbors dog. Currently working part-time, with 2 grown up kids still need drop off & pick up from their respective school & work. Flexible time for dog care. Live in a fenced yard, we have a 6 yr black Lab who is gentle & love couch. Trustworthy, dependable for drop in visit and walk.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newton Centre
Gabriel was terrific with our little man (9.5 year old Yorkie poo). Our regular dog walker was on vacation and Gabriel reliably covered 4 days of walks. He is a dog owner himself and a dog lover, and we could tell that he took great care of our dog. He was an excellent communicator and was prompt with his pick up on each of the four days he walked our dog. We would definitely use Gabriel in the future.
Sebastian is a life saver! I had a last minute need for a walker while staying at a hotel and Sebastian showed up with such excitement and warmth! I have a senior pup who requires meds and special food and it was such a relief to know he was in great hands with Sebastian. My pup was well fed, cared for, and loved while I was away all day. I’m honestly sad we’re not in his area so he’d be my pups official walker! Hire him!!!

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 Newton Centre. 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.
