About: I’ve helped care for pets for family and friends for several years and also have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience watching both dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after them, and checking in while owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, and I always make sure they get plenty of care and attention. Pet care fits easily into my weekly schedule. For the next two weeks, I have full availability since I am finishing up school and not working, so I have open flexibility during weekdays and weekends. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow all instructions from the owner carefully, including feeding, walking, and any special needs. I give them attention, playtime, and supervision while also making sure they’re in a secure environment at all times. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space, keep things clean, and always double-check doors, leashes, and gates for safety.

About: Hi, I can’t wait to be your furbaby sitter❤️ Dogs make me happy & that’s the best job, something that makes you happy ☺️ When you love what you do it doesn’t feel like work🫶🏼 I only watch 1-2 dogs at a time so they get my undivided attention 🥰 I am Pet First Aid & CPR certified so in case of an emergency I have the knowledge of the importance of prevention of illness, injury & early veterinary care. I’ve had different breeds of dogs all my life. But now I just have 1 tiny pink dog who fully vaccinated & is very friendly and sweet, she loves to make new furry friends. We love all animals. We hope to make some new furry friends ☺️ But I also understand some dogs do not get along with others so Marshmallow has her own little private room where I keep her most of the time so if your dog doesn’t get along with other dogs then they can have full range of the house 😊 Breeds I’ve cared for in my life & that I have experience with: Bichon Frise, Siberian Husky, Maltese, Pitbull, Pomeranian, Chihuahua, Golden Retriever, Cockapoo, Goldendoodle, French Bulldog, American Bully, Yorkie, German Shepard, Labradors, Pomsky, Shih Tzu, Havanese, Cairn Terrier, Boston Terrier, Saint Bernard, Labradoodle, Standard Poodles, Mini Poodles, Border Collie, Duck Tolling, Samoyed, & Mixed Breeds. I have experience with dogs who have separation anxiety. As well as disabilities such as blind dogs and dogs who can’t walk on their own. I also have experience with terminally ill dogs. My dog was diagnosed with cancer in 2020 & I gave her all the love and attention and care she needed and made her last months comfortable as I could before she crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge. Rest in peace Princess 👑 I make my own schedule so I have plenty of time to give your fur baby the love, care and attention they need & deserve. If I’m watching your dog then that means I’m with them full time at home so they will get walks and plenty of attention! I have a big living room dedicated to pets that is pet friendly with multiple beds, blankets, food bowls, water & plenty of TOYS! With plenty of space to play. I have a big fenced backyard for exercise. The fenced in back yard is perfect especially for those hot summer days so your fur babies paws don’t get too hot. I’m also a personal trainer so I love to go on walks/runs with dogs who have a lot of energy. But I also like to relax at home and take naps so that works for dogs who have low energy.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so I really get their needs and how to make them feel comfortable. I’m great with all ages of dogs. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I’m a college student looking to make some extra money, so I have plenty of flexibility to give pets real attention. I’m available after 1pm on weekdays and for weekend boarding. I love spending time with animals, so fitting playtime, walks, and care into my routine feels natural and easy for me. I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have two of my own, so keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy is already part of my daily routine. I also volunteer at a local shelter, where I take dogs out for the day and help them get exercise, socialization, and a break from the kennel. I follow each owner’s routine, make sure pets are never left unsupervised, and give them plenty of attention and reassurance. My goal is always to make every dog feel relaxed, secure, and completely at home.

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have two dogs of my own and am very comfortable with all types of personalities—from energetic pups to shy or reactive dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I have hands-on experience with reactive dogs and am very mindful of their body language, boundaries, and routines to help them feel safe and secure. I also cared for my senior dog Toni for 17 years, so I’m experienced with medication administration and providing attentive, gentle care for older pets. I truly enjoy building trust with animals and creating a calm, positive environment for them. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and will always follow your pet’s routine closely so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I’d love to help with walks, drop-ins, or sitting and treat your pets like part of my own family! I’m a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a very flexible and consistent schedule throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting during both weekdays and weekends, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to be very attentive and stick closely to your pet’s routine, making sure they get timely walks, meals, and attention. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their own environment and routine. I’m very respectful of both your pet and your space, and I always aim to keep things calm, clean, and consistent while you’re away. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and individual needs, whether your pet is energetic, shy, or reactive. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific routines, so your pet feels safe and secure. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have experience caring for dogs through my previous work at PetPals, as well as pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and keeping dogs on their normal routines. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I prioritize time for walks, play sessions, and feeding, ensuring each pet receives personalized attention. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate various needs, whether it’s daily visits or extended care. Your pets will always feel cared for and loved. In my home, I create a safe and stimulating environment with secure spaces for play and relaxation. I ensure all pet supplies are pet-friendly and that there are no hazards. In clients' homes, I follow their routines closely, respecting their space while providing the same level of care. Trust is essential, so I maintain open communication and provide regular updates to keep pet owners informed and at ease.

About: I have grown up caring for pets whether it may be for neighbors, family members, or dogs of my own. They have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pet and I find it to be one of the most rewarding jobs. I currently have two dogs at home (a 14 year old yellow lab & 1 year old French bulldog) and have experience with handling all different breeds, sizes, and age dogs. I am confident in my skills and will show love your pet as if its my own! I currently work part-time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pups! I'm available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings to come over and walk/ care for your pet and my schedule can be easily flexible! I have a fenced in yard at my house and 2 extremely friendly dogs to keep your pup company! When it comes to visiting your pups house, safety will be my top priority and I will be sure to either walk your pup on a secure leash/ harness or make sure that all gates are closed before letting them out if the yard is fenced in.

Rosemary was super patient and understanding with my dog Toby. The first time she came over to walk him, he was reluctant to walk, but Rosemary sat with him and was able to eventually get him to walk. I appreciated Rosemary's persistence and care for my baby dog. I would definitely trust the care of my dog with Rosemary again!

Julia was so reliable, responsible, and dependable. She walked my dog a few times a week during a time where there were a lot of changes in my life, but I knew that I could depend on Julia to come take care of my dog. I also work long hours so it was great to know that my dog was safe with Julia. My dog also LOVES Julia and will be missing her so much once Julia goes back to school!

FAQs for Dog Walking - North Reading

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in North Reading is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $24 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 10,076 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across North Reading. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 North Reading. 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 North Reading after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 North Reading. On Rover:

  • 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.
