Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Waltham
Helena was wonderful with my older pooch. She sat with him and took him on a walk in the neighborhood to his favorite place, the mechanic's, where they gave him his usual cookie. Then she figured out a new game to keep him happy in the backyard: She would hide little pieces of kibble and let him sniff them out. I was 100% delighted with Helena's dog care, and will look forward to hiring her again soon!
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!! 😊
Michelle was absolutely amazing! While we were traveling for 10 days, our dog stayed with my elderly mom, who has difficulty walking. Michelle made sure our pup got a great walk each day, lots of love, and exceptional care the entire time. Knowing our dog was in such good hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. I couldn’t have imagined a better experience with Rover. Five stars isn’t enough—I’d give Michelle 50 stars if I could!
Jess has been a reliable, flexible, and trustworthy dog walker for my 70lb hound/pitt mix! My dog can be reactive on the leash, and I have felt very confident to send her out with Jess. She provides great communication pictures every day, and adapts to meet the needs of my dog. Highly recommend for any animal care needs!
Sue is fantastic! She is super reliable and takes excellent care of my little dog. On top of that, Sue seems to really care about what she does and makes me feel like my dog is the only dog in the world. She makes me feel special and I know she makes my dog feel special as well! She responds quickly to messages and I’ve never had any issue communicating with her. When you book with Sue, you can be assured that your pet is in great hands
Paula was incredible. She took the time to visit ahead of her first walk to meet Pico, which we really appreciated. We had a number of unexpected changes to our schedule, and she handled everything with flexibility and grace. Her updates after each walk were thoughtful and reassuring. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her.

The average cost for Dog Walking in North Waltham on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 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 North Waltham.

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:
- 90% 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.
