Bill is a reliable dog walker. He was great with our dog, Bella. He was flexible when adding extra walks last minute. He is also very responsive. I highly recommend his services to others.

Meggan was great with Scruffy. She took her on a nice long walk, sent photos, and I got a detailed report. Scruffy even got a favorite…a belly rub!

Karen was great. She took the time to meet Sadie and understand her needs. The two walks were just enough to satisfy Sadie and give me peace of mind that she was being well cared for. Thank you Karen!

About: I have many years of experience with dog-sitting from energetic puppies to 60 pound golden doodles. I have experience with walking/ caring for more difficult dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and I love all animals! I’m home for the Summer from college so I have a lot of flexibility. The only times I’m unavailable are July 11-18 and August 10-14. I will keep your home clean and tidy and respect your space like it’s my own. I’m a small person so I can accommodate any living space.

About: I give a lot of attention to dogs and can walk them on extra long walks if needed. For puppies, if they need to play with other dogs, I have my own senior dog (shihtzu-terrier mix) they can play with. I’m currently working part-time on nights so I can walk and feed your dogs as needed. I’m very flexible with your schedule and can be available when needed. I can offer the dog lots of attention, TLC, extra long walks, feeding, and/or any medicine needed to take orally. I also have a car and can pick up/drop off the dog when needed.

Highly recommend booking Viviana as a dog walker. She did a great job with our two pups, especially our older dog who can be a little feisty. She is very responsive and even came to meet our dogs beforehand to make sure she could provide them the best care possible.

About: I've had my own dog for 4 years, as well as taking care of my neighbors' senior dog while they are out of town. I am known for being responsible and I love being active so I'm always happy to go on long walks. I also run 3-6 miles every day and am happy to bring your dog along for some extra excercise. I'm looking to get a part time job over the summer, so I'll be free for at least a part of every day to hang out with your pets :) I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play! I also have several neighbors with friendly dogs always looking for new buddies to hang out with.

About: Hi! I’m Anji and I’m a huge animal lover with plenty of experience caring for dogs- and sometimes cats- of all kinds. I’ve pet-sat for friends and family for years, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy and attentive watching over your furry family. Since I also have a dog named Astro, I understand from a more protective perspective. Whether your pup needs a long walk, a play break, or just a snuggle session while you’re away, I’m here to help! I’m very comfortable with: • Daily feedings, treats & water refills 🍖 • Long walks or short potty breaks 🚶‍♀️ • Administering medications 💊 • Playtime and enrichment 🧸 I’m based locally and ride a bike everywhere, so I can get to your home reliably and quickly. Don’t worry if you are a bit far away from my local town, I can take transportation to make it easier for you! I treat every pet like my own with patience, kindness, and lots of love. Let me know how I can make your pet feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m excited to meet your furry companion! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I structure my days to make sure pets in my care get consistent attention, exercise, and affection, whether that means early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening playtime. Since I’m often on my bike and working locally, I can easily adjust my route to stop in for walks, feedings, or overnight visits. Caring for animals brings me a sense of peace and purpose, so I make time for it just like I would for work, friends, or self-care. I also love building consistent routines with pets because I know how important it is for them to feel safe, secure, and well-loved while their humans are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency. I follow your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible: from feeding times and walk schedules to preferred play styles and sleep spots. I respect your home like it’s my own, keeping things clean, quiet, and stress-free for both you and your pet. On top of pet-care, I can confidently say I can take care of your living accommodation as well. For drop-ins and walks, I give pets my full attention: making sure they get proper exercise, fresh water, and a little love before I leave. I also send photo updates and quick notes so you always know how your pet is doing. If I’m providing overnight care, I stay with your pet as much as possible, offering companionship and calm energy. I’m especially attentive at night and early morning when pets can feel most anxious in their owner’s absence. Overall, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and at home.

I also LOVE receiving multiple photos of my pup enjoying the walk so I know how happy he is to be out with them. Would strongly recommend this wonderful team to walk your furry friend!

About: Although I am new to providing pet care to others, I have owned and cared for pets for most of my life. I have a new Bernedoodle puppy named Honey. I am also a single mom of two young boys and a full time special education teacher. I am currently a full time special education teacher and a single mom of two boys (currently ages 10 and 8). We have a new Bernedoodle puppy named Honey. I am available Monday through Friday between 3:30 and 8:30pm and Saturday and Sunday most of the day during the school year. Summers, winter breaks, and spring breaks allow me more flexibility durin the daytime hours. I have a large fenced-in back yard and lots of dog toys. We have a doggy door in the basement to allow dogs to get to the backyard in an potty emergency.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Northfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Northfield on Rover is $16.65 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 .

As of July 2026, there are 12,977 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Northfield. 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 Northfield. 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 Northfield.

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 Northfield. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
