“Jacob is wonderful! Our shepard mix can be a real handful, but she loves walking with Jacob. Before his first day on the job, he researched using the gentle leader we asked him to use and memorized the list of commands we gave him. He's always responsive and conscientious. Truly a great dog walker!”
“Anna was TERRIFIC. She was very responsible, on time, and sent photos. She and Niko also got along quite well. Anna is certainly highly recommended by us and we will certainly be making use of her dog services in the future.”
“Austin had been a spectacular help. They walk our pug, Theo! His communication is great and he’s very friendly. As well Theo loves him :) We are very grateful for Austin and their services!”

I work from home and have availability to dog walking from 11am - 4pm Mon- Fri. My 2 year old black lab Brownie is always ready to join on a walk with your dog.

About: I’ve taken care of my dog since I was 13, taking her out for walks, parks, and appointments. We love going on strolls just as much as cuddling on the couch! I have also had cats for the past 18 years so I can also navigate relationships between the two. I work 3 days or night a week as a nurse so I have ample days off with lots of opportunity to walk dogs. And even on the days I do work I have time before or after if needed. I love to greet my dog with lots of care and love. I often feed her treats and am constantly chatting to her to make her feel included!

Ready and excited to meet your special friend and help care for them over a visit, day, night boarding or week as needed.

Looking forward to meeting you all soon! : ) I have a flexible work schedule at present so have time to take care of animals at home on a daily basis and am glad to take them in for just a night or longer-term as availability allows! I live in a third-floor walkup condo but there is plenty of open space and areas for walks right nearby and in an animal-friendly building allows great care and environment for your pets to stay with us!

“Traci has been perfect for our girl. We are so grateful that she was able to take Cora for a walk on such short notice. She then helped create a plan for us as we only adopted Cora a week ago! We look forward to hopefully many more walks with Traci.”
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.
About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life! In my household I currently have had a 6 year old Siberian Husky named Maya that my family and I work together to take care of. I have started my own small dog walking business in the past that I decided to part from to pursue my teaching career. I am also a former Wag employee. I am excellent at connecting with animals and find joy in spending time with them. I am respectful of any specific directions to accommodate your booking and extremely flexible in most situations. Excited to get connected soon! I work full time as a Lead Educator at Bright Horizons in Lexington Massachusetts. I am available on weekends and feel free to reach out about availability throughout weekdays as it varies. With my dog at my home I work towards making sure she always feels loved. Taking walks and playing with all her toys is the main way we spend our free days. A backyard with gates is always fun for fetch!
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: My entire life I’ve taken care of dogs; in addition to experience growing up with family pets, both big & small, older and puppies, I also worked as a PetSmart pet hotel night staffer - feeding, walking, and keeping an eye on all pets the entire evening. I also gained valuable experience in college owning my own dog, ensuring I was always available for walks, playtime, and pets constantly throughout the day. I live with my fiancée so I have two people available for dog care. I work full-time as a Food & Beverage Manager at hotels in Boston and she works in banquets, so our schedules change every week and I am looking to get more dogs in my life on a day-to-day basis. A little extra cash is helpful, but most importantly we would love to have more dogs in our life 🙂 I have an apartment in a building that is incredibly pet-friendly. I also live directly next to a veterinarian as an added bonus. I also have a car and scooter and would happily go to any clients’ home.
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.
“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 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.
“Isis was exceptional! This was a great experience for my pups! She was very attentive to detail, gentle and very accommodating. My pups are usually pretty timid with new people, but they were instantly drawn to her. It says a lot about her as a person and pet carer. Thank you again!”
“Catherine was a great dog walker! She responded well to my nervous dog and he grew comfortable with her super quick. She always returned my dog well exercised at the end of the walk!”
“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!! 😊”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Waltham
Doyle seems to be enjoying his time with Margaret. I enjoy her updates and photos and she is very thorough in her reporting of the activities that they shared. I enjoyed meeting her before Doyle's first walk with her, and feel very comfortable with her having Doyle in her care. I look forward to many more weeks ahead. Susan Larson
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!!

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 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
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.
