About: I am a registered nurse with a lifelong love of animals. I have always had pets since I was a little girl. I worked at an animal hospital throughout high school and college, I gained a lot of pet care experience there. I also worked on a farm growing up where I took care of horses, cats and dogs! I know how important it is to trust someone with your animals, as I have 2 kitties I care for very much! I am confident in handling all types of pet personalities and needs. I currently work 3 days per week not on a set schedule. I have 4 days off per week which is why I would love to do dog walking/sitting on those off days! I live in a dog friendly neighborhood in Watertown, MA. I love to walk around Fresh Pond, I also live near several dog parks! I can’t wait to meet your pup :)
About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I’ve been caring for pets for 8 years, and nothing makes me happier than getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I work with both dogs and cats and have experience with everything from tiny puppies to slow‑moving seniors, from shy kitties to big, energetic dogs. I grew up in a family that owned two Shar‑Peis, so I’m very comfortable with stubborn, reactive, or strong‑willed breeds. I understand body language, thresholds, and how to build trust with pets who need a little extra patience. Whether your dog is still learning manners or your cat prefers a quiet observer, I meet every animal where they are. I currently have a very open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time and can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether you need morning, midday, or evening visits. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed in a familiar space. I follow your routines exactly, keep your home secure, and double‑check doors and gates before leaving. I’m respectful of your space and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and comfortable.
“As always, Traci had a fun week with Pablo. I so value her communication skills, dependability, good nature, and love of animals. Pablo and I look forward to next time!”
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.
About: Growing up my sisters and I started a dog walking business and offered our services to all the neighbors. We walked and played with dogs of all breeds and sizes! I’m currently working as a college softball coach and looking to fill up my my schedule! My schedule varies depending on the season, and my days being wide open in the off-season. I treat all pets like my own, making sure they are fed and played with like I know my Wayne would like. They deserve all the pets!
“Carol is very knowledgeable about dogs and has much experience taking care of them. She seems very comfortable with my large excitable Aurora. They had a good walk around the neighborhood and I plan to ask Carol for help again!”
About: From family pets and friends' pets to having a dog of my own, I have had the pleasure of spending time with some pretty incredible animals. Born and bred in Boston and a true lover of New England, your animals could not be in better hands. I pride myself on hard work and determination, so rest assured you will come home to a very tired and happy family member. Caring for your animal is my utmost priority. Whether you need short or long visits, I will quickly become a trusted provider of animal care and your pet’s new best friend. Caring for your animal is my utmost priority.

I am happy to set the alarm, lock the door or anything in between to insure maximum safety of your prized possessions.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child, often taking on the role of the neighborhood pet sitter when families go out of town. I love all animals, (especially cats and dogs) providing them with care and attention as if they were my own. I’m currently a freelance musician and part time violin teacher, so I often have mornings and afternoons free, and sometimes weekends too, for pet care. I’m so happy to take care of your pets, so they will have my complete attention when I am with them. Your pet’s safety is my priority when they are in my care!
About: Hi! I’m someone who absolutely loves spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out for some snuggles, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m reliable, easygoing, and always pay attention to the little details that make each pet unique. You can count on me to keep tails wagging and give you peace of mind while you’re gone! I am currently only working part time, so I have a very flexible schedule! I usually base my day around pet care for my own dog as well! I have a very friendly dog who can keep your dog company!

About: I had a dog growing up (dachshund) and dog-sat full time for my professors (about 8 months) this year. After that gig was up, considering I don't have the time as a law student to have my own dog right now, I'd love to be able to spend time with your baby/dog and walk them around! I'm a law student with a lot of free time when I am not in class, looking for a way to decompress and that always happens when I'm around dogs! I can come over to your place to care for your dog as my apartment is not pet friendly. It is something I have done before, and would have a list of questions for you about your dog so I can best take care of them.
About: Hello! I love taking Newton, Waltham and Watertown pups for walks during the day. Happy to go a little further if the timing is right. You can count on me when it comes to communication with you and love for your baby. I bring toys and treats, and can work with shy dogs! I work full time from home in HR as a comp analyst. My schedule is very flexible. I want to schedule walks adhoc during the day or after work! When entering a clients home I will treat the area with care, make sure to lock up, check for water for the animal. I will do my best to find an appropriate outdoor/garage trash for the waste as well.
About: I am a social worker for humans professionally but apply the same kind of all encompassing empathy and love for dogs. I haven't had a dog of my own yet, but I've lived with and cared for many dogs over the last several years, and I’m an auntie to many close friends’ pups. Just waiting until I can be a full-time pet mom before I get a pup of my own. I can commute to you by car or public transportation. I am happy to have your dog be in my car. I just want to go on adventures in the outdoors and explore with your pup! I will love him or her as my own. Hope to hear from you soon! While I am taking care of your pet, I will be very attentive to their needs and involve them in my day as much as possible! Will spend majority of my time with your pet. I will be on top of all of their feeding, toileting, exercising and socializing needs. They are my #1 priority! I recently started my own psychotherapy practice and I work Tuesday-Friday. I go into my office most days but can alter that as needed for pet sitting. On Saturdays, Sunday’s and Mondays- your fur babies will have my undivided attention! I don’t have a fenced yard but I live near many dog parks where I could take your pup. I live in an apartment building but it’s rather small, with only 6 units total, and it’s pretty quiet with very little foot traffic. I’m happy to do whatever is necessary for caring for your pets, whether it’s in my home or yours!

We’ve left many reviews for Susie, all of which have been A++, and this will be another one of those. Our border collie struggles with new people, but she has always loved Susie from moment one. I think it is her calm demeanor and confidence — our pup really responds to it. We love Susie and look forward to seeing her again soon!
Lindsay is simply wonderful! We were in a pinch and looking for a new dog walker, and she was great- she arrived on time, considerate of our property, was thoughtful and asked several questions, which clearly meant that she was thinking about Maxie and his needs. She's also easy to coordinate with, and very clear and prompt in her communication. She did a test walk with Maxie and a real walk today, and it went perfectly! They both had fun and we are back to feeling completely happy and safe in the knowledge that Maxie is in caring and reliable hands.
Wendy’s great with Bebe! I love that she can always accommodate my last-minute requests. She has walked Bebe a few times, and Bebe always has a great time with her. Wendy always makes sure she’s okay after the walk and feeds her if needed. I really appreciate how reliable and caring she is!
Nicholas has walked my dog, Bebe, a few times, and he’s been great every time! He always accommodated my last minute requests, which I really appreciated. He’s also very thoughtful, for example, he towel dried Bebe after walking her in the rain. Bebe seems to really like him, and I’ll definitely be using him again in the future!
We were so grateful that Yi could take care of our Baxter when we were out all day! We messaged her in a pinch the night before, and she responded almost immediately letting us know that she could take Baxter for a walk and check in on him. She sent a full update, videos and photos, and even spent some extra time with him practicing some training! We’re already looking forward to her help housesitting on our upcoming trip, because we know our pets will be in such great hands!! 😊
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.
I cannot recommend Traci highly enough. From the very first day I met her, I was struck by her calm, grounded demeanor. She has a wonderful presence about her—confident, warm, and immediately reassuring. My puppy took to her right away, which is something I value tremendously. Since we began working together, I have been consistently impressed by Traci’s professionalism, organization, and communication. She is exceptionally reliable and proactive. She confirms schedules, communicates clearly, and often provides thoughtful updates and documentation that I never even thought to ask for—from extra photos of my puppy to screenshots confirming when she arrived and left my home. That level of self-imposed accountability speaks volumes about her character and work ethic. Most importantly, Traci has been incredibly patient and attentive with my puppy, who can be quite a handful. She is safety-conscious, observant, and genuinely invested in the well-being of both my dog and my home. On more than one occasion, she has noticed or communicated things that demonstrated just how seriously she takes her responsibilities. Before finding Traci, I unfortunately had a few disappointing—and at times concerning—experiences with other pet care providers. As a healthcare professional who works long shifts, one of my greatest worries after bringing home a puppy was ensuring she would be safe, cared for, and not spending long days feeling lonely or neglected while I was at work. Traci has completely put those concerns to rest. I leave for work knowing my puppy is in capable, caring hands, and that peace of mind is invaluable. She has also been remarkably flexible and accommodating whenever my schedule changes unexpectedly. Beyond being an excellent dog walker, she is simply a pleasure to work with and communicate with. She has a natural way with both animals and people, and it is obvious that she genuinely cares about the pets entrusted to her. I could not have hoped for a better person to help care for my puppy. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her.

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 Nonantum. 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 Nonantum.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Nonantum. 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.
