About: I have been working with dogs since I was in 6th grade. I trained my childhood dog through a 4H program and we completed at the county fair each year in Obedience and Rally. Now I have a rescue who over the past 4 years we've helped work through a lot of reactivity and she now is an active participant in Rally competitions and other classes. As a teacher my summer is wide open for walks and drop in visits. Once the school year starts after school and weekends are open. I'm very comfortable with dogs of various sizes and needs. I can crate your furry family members, get them fed, out for walks etc. I'm comfortable with various walking equipment from harnesses to gentle leaders and collars.
“Mary is the best! She is super kind, patient, and reliable. I appreciate all the photos and feedback she gives when watching our dog! She truly seems to love spending time with our dog. We are very appreciative to have her help us regularly with our current dog and past dog.”
About: I have been fortunate enough to have had animals most of my life. These have ranged from dogs, rabbits, chickens, horses, cows, and fish. I have volunteered time at a wildlife rehab and also worked a few years at a dog daycare facility that would average about 50 dogs a day. I have a bachelors degree in Animal behavior, ecology and conservation. I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. I currently have 2 rabbits and a dog. I am a substitute teacher so my schedule is rather flexible. It allows me to arrange my week how I need it. My afternoons are usually pretty open. I will ensure that each pet is safe, secure and well taken care of in the comfort of their own home while providing updates to their families.
About: Let me be your new animal caretaker! I love animals so much and I will look after yours like I would my own. I have lived with and had pets since I was a child (I even started a dog walking club so that I could befriend all the dogs in the neighborhood 🐕🐩🐕🦺🦮😄) I have cared for pets of all ages, with special needs, and of all ranges of training. I am familiar with administering medications orally and am a quick learner who can meet whatever your pet’s needs are with instruction. I am currently available any day and time, including weekends, except for a brief period of time in the evening on Mondays. I can be flexible if needed, however. I understand the importance of knowing your baby is safe and happy when you’re away. I will follow all instructions carefully to ensure your pet’s routine is followed, that they feel comfortable and cared for in their home when you’re away, and that your home stays clean and safe while you are away :)

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and my family has four dogs of our own! One is a rescue that we love dearly!! I also completed a two-year Small Animal Science program and currently foster dogs. Through fostering, I’ve helped 7 dogs find their forever homes. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, energy levels, and needs, and I’ll always treat your pet like part of the family. Pet care fits really well into my routine because I work a consistent school schedule as a teacher and have plenty of time after work, in the evenings, and on weekends. I love spending that free time going for walks, stopping in for visits, feeding, playing, and giving pets some extra attention. Since I’m used to having four dogs in my family, caring for animals already feels like a natural part of my day. I always make safety, comfort, and trust a priority. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and try to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m respectful of your home, careful with doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions, and I’ll always give your pet the attention, patience, and care I’d want for my own dogs.

I have a very big backyard, a lot of room, and a friendly cat to keep your cat company. I will also not make your animal feel like they are alone.

From helping with the care of elder pets to training for younger ones I have experience that will make you and most importantly your pet comfortable and feel at home. Currently my schedule is mostly open on most days. I work from home so this allows me to be able to keep an eye on pets too. I provide attentive and personalized pet care in my clients' homes and on walks, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and well-cared for in their familiar environment. Whether it’s following their routine, providing playtime, administering medication, or giving extra affection, I tailor my care to their specific needs.

About: I never had the pleasure of owning a dog of my own growing up, so I always had a greater appreciation for the moments I got to enjoy being in the company of a friendly dog. I have always loved animals in general and dogs especially. Your dog will be in great, caring hands with me. I will be sure to treat all animals with as much care and utmost respect they are used to and deserve. Over the past year I have walked many dogs through other dog walking apps and have enjoyed the time I got to spend with them. I plan to continue my excellent care for any animal I have the pleasure of walking or sitting through this app as well. I am available most evenings starting at 4, I can be available earlier on Thursdays. I can be flexible for walks on my lunch breaks. I pride myself on being trustworthy and reliable. You can rest assured that your dog is in good hands and will be well taken care of.
“Tatyjana was phenomenal! She took great care of our 8 month old corgi, Poke, during his walk and was careful to not let our 3 year old indoor cat outside during the process! She is very professional, and made sure to keep us updated from the start of the walk to it’s finish. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”

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 North Boston. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
