“She was very nice and even came early to meet my dog! It's a good sign that when I came home my dog acted like it was a normal day, which means she felt very comfortable with the walker. I received quick communication and pictures which I really enjoyed :)”
About: I have had a long history of family that takes care of dogs, from training to sitting. My family used to rescue dogs back in Houston, TX where my mother currently has 7 dogs. We care for dogs like their our our children and do strict training and learning skills for our dogs at home. I have had and taken care of all types of breeds such as labs, pits, beagles, boxers, chihuahuas , pugs, schnauzers, and more small to large. I am comfortable with all dogs. I’ve worked with reactive dogs at shelters. Being very athletic helps maintain a consistent activity level with dogs as well as making sure they are very well nourished as far as their nutrition. I used to walk neighborhood dogs often and babysit friends dogs.
“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: *Currently looking for gigs near for July 25-Aug 2nd this month** Hello! I am a recent Wellesley College graduate but I come from a big family in Austin, Texas. I've looked after dogs, cats, plants, and plenty of farm animals. I adore animals and have two dogs of my own back home. I have great communication and I am willing to send regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind. I read and respond to signals that animals give attentively so your pets will be in great hands! I am looking forward to caring for your homes and pets. I am currently looking for jobs before starting grad school in the fall. I babysit occasionally, but I am often not away for more than 3-5 hours. My home is currently being renovated so I will not be hosting any pets there at the moment. I am happy to consider in home pet care after renovations are finished.
About: Hi, my name is Jose and I'm excited to meet you and your pet. I have cared for and looked after dogs, cats, birds, and other animals for most of my life. Your pet will be cared for and loved when they're with me, because above all, I love animals! I have the most experience with dogs and cats, and when it comes to dog training, I implement positive reinforcement methods. I have handled dogs of all sizes, breeds and energy levels. I love dogs because of their boundless enthusiasm and love for even the simplest of things. Your dog will get a lot of attention and playtime when they're with me. You can rest assured that I will treat them as if they were my own. Cats are also welcome, and in fact, most of my experience for the past 5+ years has been with cats, whether it's feeding them, sifting their litter, or keeping them entertained. I'd love to set up an initial call to see if I would be a good fit for your pet. If that goes well we can then set up a meet and greet to confirm details and allow your pet to become familiar with me. I don't work a full-time job since I also take time to take care for my child, so my day time hours are very flexible. For dogs I make sure they're on leash at all times outside and for cats and other animals I just make sure they have everything they need and are entertained under my care.

About: I've been doing pet care since I was 8 and have lots of experience with animals of all ages and personalities. Typical animal care from me looks like refilling food and water, walks, cleaning litter boxes, and finding creative ways to keep your animals thoroughly entertained. This summer I'm taking online college classes so my schedule is super flexible. The only set times I'll be busy doing virtual classes are from 11:00-4:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Please let me know what times work for you. I will always make sure to keep your dogs on leashes when not in fenced in areas to ensure your pup's safety is accounted for.

I just moved to Boston for my master’s degree and had to leave my childhood pup at home, so I am looking for love from a pet! It would be my pleasure to spend time with your pet! I’m currently a full time student and I commute to Boston for classes. Monday I am on campus from 1:30-5:30; Tuesday is my longest day from 11:45-8:30; Wednesday 2:50-8:30; Thursday 11:45-5:30; and Friday I don’t have class! My weekends are completely free. Outside of those time ranges Monday-Thursday I am available to care for your pets! I am very clean and respectful when being in someone else’s home. Any directions you give me I will follow! If I have any questions I will be sure to clarify with you.
About: I've been considering Rover for several weeks now. I have a large and very friendly senior Chocolate Lab. She loves other dogs and people. I have cared for and trained her since she was a 1-year-old Rescue! I'm looking for some flexible extra income this summer and dog sitting seems perfect for me. I am a teacher and am home all summer! I've been to dog training classes and puppy social groups. I love dogs and think she would also benefit from some extra companionship this summer. My husband who works nights is also home during the day and willing to participate in the dog sitting experience. It will t.ruly be a family-centered environment where your dog will get lots of special attention with us. My husband is currently retired so someone is almost always home with the dogs. My daughter works various shifts so she is home a lot too. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room for dogs to play. Also dogs are welcome to sit on furniture inside a.d to sleep where er they are most comfortable and used to sleeping.

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!!!
Angelica was absolutely wonderful with Boomer and Simba! She was on time, available on short notice, and made the whole experience stress-free. The dogs were so excited to see her and clearly enjoyed their walks. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about animals, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!
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!
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.
Kendra was absolutely wonderful! She is friendly, very professional, and clearly amazing with our dog. From the start, she was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with, which made the whole experience stress-free. It was obvious how comfortable and well cared for our dog was with her. We will definitely be using Kendra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!

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 Newton Upper Falls. 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 a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Newton Upper Falls after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
