About: I’ve had dogs by my side since childhood and spent years horseback riding — so caring for animals is second nature for me! I adore dogs and cats of all personalities, and I bring a fun and upbeat energy to every walk. Whether your pup loves adventures (parks, trails, hikes, and swims!) or prefers a calm and leisurely stroll, I make sure they are safe, happy, and having fun. My four year old mix, Opie, can vouche for all the fun adventures☺️ I’m a local educator with a flexible schedule — typically free throughout the summer, plus evenings and weekends during the school year. Because I live and work locally, fitting walks into my daily routine is easy, and I’m able to offer consistent, reliable care for your pets. I often find myself heading home on my lunch breaks to give my own pup some extra attention. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. My own yard is fully fenced in and always use secure leashes, follow your pet’s routine, and stay aware of surroundings during every walk. I’ve learned over the years just how important understanding your pets needs, warning signals, and comfort is, especially when out in public!

Louca worked wonders for us and our super reactive miniature dachshund. His patience, knowledge, and professional and positive attitude were a huge relief after searching for and failing to find someone to look after our dog when we were away for short periods. Louca has given us so much hope for our little puppy’s future and we look forward to working with him again! Thank you Louca !!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always loved being around animals. My own dog is a rescue who came from a difficult situation and had been mistreated before joining our family. Caring for her has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and earning a dog’s trust. I’ve also helped care for dogs for family and family friends by feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. While I’m new to Rover, I’m responsible, dependable, and committed to treating every pet like my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work a flexible schedule, so my availability varies throughout the week. I’ll always keep my calendar up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. When I’m with your pet, they’ll have my full attention, and I’ll make sure they receive the care, exercise, and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions, respect your home, and stick to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, meals, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life and love animals more than anything! I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and can even help take care of your other small pets if needed. I have 10 years of experience working with/training dogs and would love to help you out with your furry friends! I currently have open availability! I have a few dogs who have long standing daily spots in my schedule but there is still plenty of time for me to help out with your fur babies! I will be giving your pets my undivided attention the entire time they are in my care. I never walk multiple dogs together (unless they are from the same household) and only let them off leash in a well secured fenced in area. The rest is up to you, let me know what you are comfortable with and I will happily abide.

About: My husband and I live with our 7 and 4 yr old girls in a sidewalk lined Westborough neighborhood. In your reservation, please mention any behavioral patterns or phobias. (Does your dog take a while to do business outside? Does he or she squat several times? How long can he or she go without potty breaks? Do we have a runner?) Bring your pup, I'll bring the love and care! P.S. Please bring a crate for your dog if in the past, your dog has gotten into things and chewed. Many dog owners find themselves surprised that their dogs may exhibit destructive behavior at a sitter's house that they do not exhibit at home, like chewing and tearing things up. Your dog, in this case, will only be crated while we are out of the house. My husband works full-time, while I am home intermittently. But your baby will get lots of attention. During the weekdays, the house sits empty anywhere 3-5hrs. Your pet must be OK with that. I grew up with dogs: Scottish Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Rottweiler, Dachshunds, Chinese Crested, and Silky Terriers are the dogs my family members have owned and loved in my lifetime. I have no dogs of my own (anymore), but two little girls who just love and crave a dog in the house. If your dog is a no-no on little kids, this will not be a good fit for you.

Ivan is an excellent dog sitter. He obviously loves dogs and he was attentive, calm, and thoughtful in his care. This was my first time using a dog sitter for taking my dog for walks, and I couldn't have gotten luckier in choosing Ivan to take my dog to the park and care obout my pet. Ivan takes the responsibility seriously and understands my dog behavior rather than treating it as a checklist. My dog usually has the anxieties. Ivan found the way to calm my dog and communicate with wonderful care. After couple walks withIvan my dog is very excited, waiting for Ivan to come and go to the park. Ivan isd professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout. I felt confident leaving my dog in his care and would not hesitate to book Ivan again. I am highly recommend Ivan service.

I have booked Julia for countless walks because she takes excellent care of my puppy, ZuZu! She has always gone the extra mile to communicate with me and give ZuZu all the exercise and attention she needs. Zuzu is a very energetic dog and can be challenging to walk at times, but Julia has always been on top of doing what works best for her to get her energy out! She always sends plenty of pictures and makes sure ZuZu has what she needs before she leaves. She is awesome with having a flexible schedule and responding super quick to my last minute requests and schedule changes. I will absolutely keep using her to care for my girl!

We originally asked Caroline if she could walk and feed our two dogs as we were planning to a long day trip. However, we woke up to find our oldest dog not doing very well. It turned out that he had cancer and that we would have to put him down. It was a long agonizing day trying of running tests and considering options before finally deciding that the most humane treatment would be to euthanize. Through all this, we are thankful to Caroline who took care of our remaining fur children--a dog and a cat. It was a great relief to not have to think or worry about them so we could focus on our oldest dog in his time of need.

Mattie has been such an amazing find for us! She has been a perfect fit for both Rocky and Milo. He warmed up to her so quickly and always comes back happy and well taken care of. Even my cat is obsessed with her now, mainly because she brings the good lobster treats 😂. It’s such a relief knowing my pets are in such kind and trustworthy hands. Especially, with her vet background, i feel so comfortable with her. highly recommend her!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Northborough

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Northborough on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 .

As of August 2026, there are 10,010 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Northborough. 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 your Northborough. 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 Northborough.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Northborough. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
