“Tara is awesome! She takes Murphy on nice long walks and always leaves the nicest notes about his behavior 😊 She is reliable and conscientious. I highly recommend Tara for your dog walking needs (as long as it doesn’t interfere with Murphy’s scheduled walks🤣)!”
“Calvin has taken my very energetic 5 month old puppy for a few half hour walks while my husband and I are at work. Calvin always makes sure to update us and send cute pics of their walk!”
About: I've had dogs all my life, various breeds. Learned alot about them over the years. Have 3 dogs currently. I have given dogs medication before I look after dogs every single day all the time. I take care of my dogs needs first before my own so I know that they have everything they need on time and are happy and content. I care and treat other people's dogs as if they were my own and I treat mine as if they are family because they are. I would bring a leash to walk the dog if the owner doesn't have one, have doggie bags, safe dog treats, and during the hot months a little water dish and water in case the dog is thirsty. It's important to always be prepared.
About: My family has owned dogs my entire life, so I have taken care of my own pets. I have also had experience with watching friends, families, and neighbors dogs since I was in high school! My sister volunteers for multiple dog shelters and has fostered for a couple years now. Being around and learning from her experiences I have acquired skills in how to care for all pups of all breeds and sizes. I currently work full time during the week in Project Management. However, I am willing to work together and be flexible in order to care for your pets when needed! My availability during the week includes early mornings, and late afternoons with the ability to stop in for a quick visit during lunch. Weekends I am completely flexible and ready to help out! I prefer to feed, play, and care for your pets in your home, as well as take dogs for daily walks when needed! I love to make your pets feel loved while you are away!
About: I’ve been around dogs for my whole life, actually I have never not had a dog. I come from a Boxer house hold, so I am especially great with bigger and energetic pups! I have experience with over night care of pets from many summers of my parents going on vacation. I just moved to Boston for my master’s degree and had to leave my childhood pup at home, so I am looking for love from a pet! It would be my pleasure to spend time with your pet! I’m currently a full time student and I commute to Boston for classes. Monday I am on campus from 1:30-5:30; Tuesday is my longest day from 11:45-8:30; Wednesday 2:50-8:30; Thursday 11:45-5:30; and Friday I don’t have class! My weekends are completely free. Outside of those time ranges Monday-Thursday I am available to care for your pets! I am very clean and respectful when being in someone else’s home. Any directions you give me I will follow! If I have any questions I will be sure to clarify with you.
“Marilyn was great! Responsive, friendly, and my dog loved her. She sent photos and check-ins and I felt full confident with her hanging with my pup. Highly recommend!”
“She walked our dog, Louie. She was very friendly and confident with how to handle dogs - pleasant affect without getting our dog over excited, which most people do. I would easily recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover and cat owner with experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and birds. I understand that every pet has unique needs and strive to provide the attentive, loving care they deserve. I have a flexible part-time schedule and primarily offer drop-in visits for cats, dogs, and other small pets. I'm often available for same-day or short-notice requests, and I'm happy to help with vacation coverage or other short-term care needs. My availability is best suited for occasional, as-needed care rather than recurring weekly visits. I always aim to care for pets in a way that keeps them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client's home, I follow their pet's usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), litter box or cleanup care, and plenty of attention and companionship to help them feel at ease while their owner is away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 13 years old. I gained experience through having my own pets at home as well as providing loving care for other families. I have a 14 year old Pomeranian Maltese Mix and a 4 year old cat. I can help with things like pet sitting, dog walking, feeding, playtime, giving plenty of love and attention, etc. I am working part-time, but during my free time I’d love to help care for pets because I’ve always had a love for animals and can give them the care they need to be happy and healthy! When I care for my own dog at home, I enjoy taking him for walks in areas away from too many cars like neighborhoods or dog parks (with his leash on) so that he has plenty of space to roam around and can meet other friendly dogs!
About: Dogs have always been a special part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and quirks. I have experience with rescue dogs (have two of my own!) who often come with "trust issues." I value time with senior dogs, too. They are our teachers. Whether your pup needs a good walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply a little extra love while you're away, I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to treat them like they’re my own. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in caring, capable hands. I’m self-employed and work from home, so I have excellent daily availability for pet care. My flexible schedule allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention. I’m able to easily work pet care into my everyday routine and give your pup the time and care they need. I provide a loving, attentive, and comfortable environment where dogs can feel at home. I have a friendly 2-year-old dog of my own and a crate available if your pup is crate-trained or needs some quiet time. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, my home abuts beautiful walking trails that dogs love to explore. I’m happy to provide plenty of walks, playtime, companionship, and individual attention based on each dog’s needs and routine.
About: I have taken care of dogs for the last nine years. I don’t have lots of cat experience, only through friends. I have lots of knowledge! I am currently working off hours in plumbing, so I am available during the day some days on the weekdays and during the afternoon after 4 on working days and full time weekends. I will follow rules and boundaries that you have for you pet. If you have a special diet, specific schedule and or any other needs.
About: I have had a dog since I was in diapers! I’ve also trained all my dogs on my own and have very well-behaved dogs. I am truly a dog lover and will take care of your dogs as if they’re my own! I am available most weekends, all day. I cannot do during the week for the most part as I have a full-time job, but there is some flexibility with holidays and such. I will follow any instructions given to me to care for your pet in your home. I have a husky with high anxiety, so unfortunately cannot care for your babies in my own home.
About: I have taken care of various animals such as cats, dogs, and, guinea pigs. I am communicative, flexible, and enjoy caring for and playing with many animals! I have a very flexible summer schedule and can help during weekdays, weekends, days and nights. I am a morning person and can be up early to care for your pet! I have a fenced in yard at my home. I pay close attention to detail and will be very patient and caring for your pet!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Norwood
Amy is truly a dog-lover and takes the utmost care when walking or sitting my dog, Lucy. It’s apparent by just how excited Lucy is to see her! I’ve been lucky to have Amy as a neighbor, she’s very accommodating when i need to arrange a last minute walk. She always takes the cutest photos and sends updates - very thoughtful and considerate. I cannot recommend Amy enough.
Michaela was a great walker for our dog! She was nice enough to come by for a meet and greet the day before and asked great questions. The day of the walk was quite hot and Michaela was attuned to our dog’s needs and even extended the walk so Navi could recuperate in the shade. We will definitely have Michaela help again!

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 Norwood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

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.
