“Claudia was great! I highly recommend her for dog-walking. She was prompt, friendly, and clearly very good with dogs. She took careful notes on all of Milo’s needs and preferences the first time we met, making me feel very at ease. Thanks, Claudia!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for over a decade—starting with my family dog and now as the owner of a rescue dog of my own. Most of my experience has been with smaller dogs (25 lbs or less), but I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I regularly walk my dog around Newton and Cold Spring Park, and I’m familiar with local dog parks (both fenced and off-leash). I prioritize safe, attentive walks and make sure each dog gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and administering oral medication, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle care. As a Rover user myself, I know how important trust and communication are. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while your pet is in my care. I’m a great fit for busy working professionals and families who need reliable, thoughtful support, as well as for senior dogs or lower-energy pets who benefit from a calm, consistent environment. To ensure the highest level of attention and comfort, I care for one dog or cat at a time. I work from home most days, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available for drop-in visits or walks around lunchtime, and again in the late afternoon and evening after the kids are done with school or camp. I enjoy building time into my day to give pets the attention, consistency, and care they need—and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I approach pet care with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and trust. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable for them. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, or favorite activities. I’m attentive on walks (leash safety, awareness of surroundings) and make sure pets are secure at all times. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and supervised environment. I’m mindful of creating a safe space and ensuring pets feel at ease. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Five stars doesn’t feel like enough- I highly recommend Charlie! My dog’s excitement level goes through the roof when I say Charlie’s name. Charlie’s responsible, caring, fun, and shows a genuine love in caring for animals. I feel a real sense of comfort having such a kind and attentive sitter for my dog! I’m truly grateful!”
“Su was absolutely wonderful with Giro. Giro, that is usually poo shy with new people very quickly felt very comfortable 😃 which is a wonderful sign. Thank you Su! We would definitely love to have you walk Giro again”
“Leanne did a wonderful job dropping in on our 75 pound pup while we were gone for the night. Sent lots of pictures and updates, which was super helpful. He didn’t want her to leave! Would have her come by again anytime”
“I knew a kennel was not something my dog would do well with and I am so happy I found Jana. I met with Jana before booking and I was immediately comfortable with her. Very happy with the care she gave my dog while we were traveling. I will definitely book her again in the future.”
About: I am a recent college grad spending some time on my own, but greatly missing my pets! I have experience with all kinds of animals including medically complex pets, seniors, puppies, doodles and other hairy friends, and more! I am a part time intern working about 20 hours per week looking for some friends to fill my downtime. I can look after your animals any time of day with this flexibility. Good for weekdays and weekends! I follow a strict schedule with animals. Feeding routines, walks, treats, and training are all scheduled and followed to a T in my household. This makes it easy for me to apply these in other households.
“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!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, including dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Over the past year, I have also walked dogs in my neighborhood and truly love it. I have experience with daily pet care such as walking, feeding, playtime, and providing companionship. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. I treat every pet with patience and care, as if they were my own. I’m currently a student on vacation, so my hours are very flexible throughout the week and weekends, so I can accommodate depending all your pets needs. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your pet can feel comfortable and secure. I follow all care instructions carefully and supervise pets at all times, making sure their needs are met. I also send regular updates and photos so you can stay connected while away. With experience caring for cats, dogs, and small pets, I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and wellbeing.
“Stuart is great to work with, I’d highly recommend him for any of your dog walking or other care needs. He is a clear communicator, proactive with updates, and flexible with scheduling…plus our dog loves him!”
About: I’ve had 2 dogs of my own. I’m trustworthy and have a strong connection with dogs. I’ve provided reliable in-home pet sitting and dog walking services. I currently work part time, so I have flexible availability. Best days for me are Monday and Friday. Pet sitting as available and willing to help. I provide care in your home, neighborhood, or secure yard. Please let me know of any possible accommodations for your dog, or other local pets or people they do or don’t get along with.
“Makara is an incredible dog walker! She is very responsive and understanding of specific requests such as shoes off in the apartment. Makara is also great with handling my dog who tends to pull the leash when he sees other dogs. Highly recommend her!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 5 years old. When I was 12, my grandparents could no longer take care of their 3 crazy Weimaraners so we welcomed them into our family of pets for a grand total of 4 dogs, 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs and 2 hermit crabs. I’ve loved animals since as long as I can remember and have taken care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages and attitudes over the years. I hope I can add some joy to your pup’s day, the way they add joy to mine! I’m currently pursing a masters degree in data science, but I have the summer off, so I have a lot of flexibility throughout the week to take care of your pets! I am responsible, clean, and maybe overly attentive. I will do my absolute best to take care of your pet and your home. If your pet comes to my home, I will make sure they are in a safe, loving environment.
“Megan, is extremely reliable, dependable and responsible. Most importantly she takes care of my dog and loves him as if he was her own. A quality that every pet owner wants for their dog.”
About: I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and devoted cat mom. Caring for my own pet has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attention to detail. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I strive to provide reliable, compassionate care. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. • Flexible availability on weekdays and weekends. • Morning, afternoon, and evening visits available. • Happy to accommodate your pet’s regular routine whenever possible. • Prompt communication throughout your booking. • Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. • I carefully follow feeding, medication, and care instructions. • Attentive to changes in behavior, routine, and wellbeing. • Regular updates and photos provided with every visit.
About: I have had dogs for over 20 years, and have also sat for other dogs in my neighborhood. Lots of dog toys, dog beds for them to play with and sleep in. Lots of sofas and chairs. Plenty of house space to run around. I get up and take care of my 3 cats and my dog and parents dogs everyday early. I have 3 days off from main job. Each day, including my work days, I still have plenty of time to spend with the animals. Afternoon walks, and 2 evening walks. Pets are always on my daily routine, with plenty of time to spend playing with them as well. I have a fenced in yard, I have 3 dogs that get a long with others upon meeting. I have a big house, lots of gates if for whatever reasons they may need to be gated off. Plenty of dog beds for them to sleep on . :) We have gates on our deck, so there is no chance of a dog running off.
About: I have never owned a dog myself, but I have always taken care of my friend’s dogs when they go out somewhere. I also like to know what your dogs like before I take them anywhere, so I can plan ahead on what to do! If you would like to know more about me, let me know! I currently work at an office job, so I am mostly available on the weekends. There are some days in which I can be flexible when house sitting, but it depends on my schedule! If the house sitting is through the weekdays, then I will be able to do so, but I will be out of the house for 7-8 hours. I work from home on Monday and Friday, so I can be more consistent in giving breaks. I make sure that I double check everything around me for safety for the dog and myself. I try to have a schedule with the dogs and make sure that they have everything that they need.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Newton Highlands is $24
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newton Highlands
Hannah was wonderful to work with. I have on very social dog and one that is very anxious. She did a great job working with both dogs and their individual needs. Hannah is responsive, communicative, and responsible. She sent numerous photos and updates, and wasn’t afraid to ask questions in the moment. I will definitely book with her again.
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!
Kim was fantastic! She took the time to meet our dogs beforehand and build trust, especially with one who is very cautious and takes a lot of patience. She went above and beyond in caring for them, and her communication was excellent throughout. Highly recommend!
Although it was her first time meeting Terry, she handled him with ease and took him on a great walk. She made sure he was comfortable by taking short breaks and offering him water when needed. She communicated with me throughout the visit, asked if there was anything else Terry might need, and followed all of my requests. I really appreciated her care and attention to detail.
Taryn was absolutely wonderful! I needed a last-minute walker and she came through without hesitation. She was communicative, punctual, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. I'll definitely be booking Taryn again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy walker!
Sue is fantastic! She is super reliable and takes excellent care of my little dog. On top of that, Sue seems to really care about what she does and makes me feel like my dog is the only dog in the world. She makes me feel special and I know she makes my dog feel special as well! She responds quickly to messages and I’ve never had any issue communicating with her. When you book with Sue, you can be assured that your pet is in great hands
Zander has walked our dog 8 times in the past 4 months, and has always done a good job. The very first time, I accidentally double-booked him with another walker, and they both graciously rearranged their schedules to fix the problem. Zander is a solid, no-fanfare guy who knows what’s important and doesn’t get distracted. For example, Zander alerted us to a problem with our dog’s poops, which turned out to be due to an intestinal parasite she picked up from the local wild rabbits living near our house. He’s always prepared, and keeps things on an even keel. I think he’s accepted every one of our booking requests, and we appreciate him in all respects.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Highlands. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Newton Highlands.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newton Highlands. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
