About: With eight years of experience in dog care, including a position at a dog daycare, I possess a comprehensive understanding of canine behavior and the ability to anticipate their needs. I am an open and communicative individual who fosters a strong bond with dog owners. We’ve got plenty of time for playtime, cuddles, and outdoor fun! I enjoy walking, so if your dog is up for it, we’ll get lots of exercise together. For walking services I will rely on the instruction of the owner in entering the house, I m a trustworthy person , have been handling dogs for more than 8 years , previously have worked in corporate managing business and teams. I m reliable, respectful and responsible
About: Dog care is our full time life! We offer small scale, adventure filled boarding and group adventure hikes, with lots of exercise, enrichment and individual attention. Our 60-minute walk option is a trail/park hike with a small group of compatible dog friends🌲🐾 We love petsitting with lots of individual attention, exercise, enrichment, cuddles, and companionship. We typically care for only 1 or 2 client dogs at a time, so your pup really becomes part of our little family while they’re here. Stephanie is home full time, and Ledan works professionally as a dog hiker, so your dog will spend most of their stay with us, whether we’re cuddling at home, hiking at Cat Rock Park or the Fells, swimming, exploring a new trail, or heading out on a dog friendly adventure. Our specialty is definitely pups who want their own vacation while you’re on yours. 🌳 🐾 Luca and Linnie are our two resident 3yo and 2yo Golden Retrievers, who LOVE having friends over. Luca is our little trail master and social butterfly. He’s even helped previously shy or less-socialized dogs come out of their shells and discover how much fun playing with friends can be. We especially specialize in active dogs, larger breeds, and energetic puppies, but every stay is tailored to the individual dog. Some pups want to hike through the woods and cannonball into every pond they see, and some would much rather snooze in our bed. We enthusiastically support both lifestyles, not mutually exclusive! 🤣 At home, pups have free access to our bed and couch and are treated like family. We also love doing little enrichment and training sessions using things we’ve learned through classes with Luca, and we’re happy to keep up with your dog’s routines, including brushing, teeth brushing, ear cleaning, paw care, medications, or other special accommodations. You’ll also get lots of photos and updates along the way, perhaps receiving photographic evidence that your dog has stolen our bed after a long adventure 😴 We have experience with puppies, seniors, special-needs dogs, and oral and injected medications. Pickup and drop-off can also be arranged within about 30 minutes of Waltham. Tell us about your pup, their personality, and what their dream vacation looks like!! 💛 Stephanie is home full time, while Ledan works part time professionally hiking groups of dogs. Pet care is a huge part of our everyday life! Between the two of us, someone is home with the pups most of the time, and our schedule is very flexible around their needs. When Ledan heads out for dog hikes, our boarding pups can often join the adventure when appropriate for them! We want your dog to feel like our home is their home. Pups are welcome on our couch and bed and have plenty of space to play, cuddle, or find a cozy place to rest. We supervise our dogs closely, provide potty breaks as often as needed, and follow each pup’s normal feeding, medication, sleep, and care routines. Because we keep our boarding group small, we’re able to give each dog lots of individual attention and adjust their stay around their personality and needs.
“Michelle was great when she came to walk our dog! Our dog can sometimes be anxious around strangers, but she warmed right up to Michelle and was so excited to see her when she arrived. Michelle followed all instructions and our pup was so tired after her walk. Would definitely recommend Michelle as a very reliable dog walker!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends and family over the last 5 years. Responsible for 1-2 dogs at a time of all sizes 15-75lbs + cats. I’ve done walking, feeding, and over night stays up to a 10 days. Currently Hybrid work schedule which offers lots of flexibility to dog walk/sit. Most availability is from Friday-Monday. I go into the office located in Stoughton Tuesday-Thursday from 8-5pm and cannot provide afternoon drop ins on those days. I have experience caring for dogs in their own home (current apartment does not allow me to have dogs). I am clean and respectful and will follow alol instructions given.
About: I have been around dogs all of my life, once I was able to properly hold a leash there was no stopping me from hanging out with our 4-legged furry friends! I am a frequent dog walker for coworkers, friends, and family. I also have dog sat on multiple occasions for coworkers, friends, and family whenever they needed me. Most importantly I rescued a very active and very spoiled French Bulldog 6 years ago and he has made my love for dogs even stronger somehow! As much as I love dogs, I also love cats! I will make friends with any sort of animal if I am able to! I work a hybrid schedule for a corporate office. I am in the office on Tuesdays & Wednesdays, and I work from home the other 3 days. Monday, Thursday, Friday I take personal walks on my lunch break as well as after 5pm and would love for a furry friend to join me! Saturdays & Sundays I am open as well! Happy to walk your pup wherever in the neighborhood or area, we'd get out steps in! I have walked dogs in the past ranging from 15lbs, all the way up to 120lbs!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages for over 15+ years. I treat every animal as if they are my own and truly love spending time with them. I’d love to help you out and care for your pet! I have a very flexible schedule with remote work and school. I can adjust my schedule as needed to best fit your and your pet’s needs. I would be happy to meet you and your pet in advance, if that’s something you prefer! I feel comfortable caring for pets of all ages and abilities.
“Alison took great care of our dog Mochee when we needed help to walk Mochee. She listens to Mochee’s special needs, paid attention to what Mochee likes to make the walk more enjoyable and Mochee looks happy at the end of a walk. We look forward to working with Alison again.”
“Alexander has been wonderful with Pocket! He’s reliable, punctual, and has been so great about keeping him comfortable and happy. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks, and I’ve really appreciated how dependable he’s been. I highly recommend him!”
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.
“Julia was great! Totally reliable, pleasant and kind. Our dog can be wary around new people, but he warmed up to her just about instantly. She knows how to work with “nervous” mutts. I’ll definitely request her again if I need a dog walker.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in North Waltham is $25

Ari was amazing with Aslan! He was very responsible, always on time, and quick to respond to messages. He kept me updated throughout the walks, which I really appreciated. Aslan really liked him and had a great time! I’m very happy with his care and would definitely book with him again. Highly recommend!
Zach was wonderful, attentive and very communicative during our weeklong trip to Houston and Florida. He kept me updated, followed Pintu’s routine, and gave him plenty of attention and exercise. I came home to a happy dog and a clean house. I would definitely recommend Zach to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
Sue has helped us with our big boy Hugo on several occasions, coming into our house and taking him out for a long walk around our neighborhood, then feeding and playing with him for a bit. She is reliable, trustworthy, prompt and great with our boy. I highly recommend Sue to anyone looking for some help with their fur baby.
Finding someone who can handle a rowdy, high-energy 7-month-old German Shepherd puppy is no easy task, but Michelle handles him like an absolute pro! She is patient, reliable, and fantastic with energetic working breeds and my pup Nyx had a blast. I can count on her to give him a great walk and peace of mind while I'm away.
We love Bryana, she’s very responsive and flexible with scheduling Cali’s weekly walks. Cali is a senior girl and Bryana gives her the extra love and care she needs! She makes sure Cali gets all of the sniffs in during their walk as well as walking at whatever pace Cali needs that day. I HIGHLY recommend Bryana for any pet care needs!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in North Waltham is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 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.

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 Waltham. 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 Waltham 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 Waltham. 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.
