“Ashlee was excellent! Skully loves her. She always provides a short summary of how the walk went and has always been on time. Highly recommend”
“Angelina was great with our dogs and I was nervous at first because of our breed of the 2 dogs and the size of our bigger dog most people are afraid of pits or are not to fond of them but she handled it very well. Did everything she was supposed to plus more. She was super kind and patient and our dogs loved her instantly. She provided great communication also. I wouldn’t know what we would have done without her while we were out of town but she gave me some relief. This was my first time and experience with the app and I loved it. I would rebook Angelina if I ever need assistance with Brick and Yola again. No matter the height or weight of a dog it didn’t scare her off , nor the excessive barking at times and the fact they love to jump on people lol. She was genuine and loved every moment from my understanding.”
“Lizz was great with my pup! First time using her services and she really helped me out on very short notice. He looked really happy. Thank you Lizz!”
“Maggie is wonderful with my puppy Alfie. She takes him out for a walk daily; she is super professional and reliable. I know she loves Alfie like he is her own. We had a great meet and greet with her to ensure Alfie would be comfortable with her. I always get updates and photos from the walks. I know with absolute certainty he is in safe hands.”
“Thank you! Anthony was quick to respond when I needed a last-minute dog walker during the week. Would highly recommend!”
“Gabriel is a dog whisperer. Our dog was immediately comfortable with him, even though our dog is usually scared of strangers. We are grateful to have found Gabriel.”
“Neha was fantastic! She took the time to meet Comet the day before his first walk, which was incredibly helpful. It was clear that she's experienced with dogs and understands the concerns of anxious pet owners. During Comet's walk, Neha was very patient with him while he was adjusting to having a new walker. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos of Comet. Neha is highly professional and a true expert in dog care”
“Karissa was amazing with being able to help out last minute. I lost Khaya over the weekend and wanted Obi to have some time with someone during the day while I was at work ti help get his mind off of everything. Karissa was extremely helpful with him, took him for some walks and gave him a little extra loving. Highly recommend Karissa!”

About: I am a 20 year old college student home for the summer. I helped care for my beloved childhood dog for 13 years before he passed last march. Our house is empty now and I would love to care for your dog! I also have a year of experience volunteering at a dog shelter where I fed, walked, bathed, and helped socialize the dogs. I am a dog lover and would give your dog lots of love! I will be able to walk dogs anytime before 3pm all days except Saturday. For boarding, I am living with my parents so they and/or my partner will be able to step in to help care for your dog when I am away at work. I can also offer morning/afternoon day care anytime before 3pm. I will have plenty of time in the morning and afternoon to play with your fur baby! I have an unfenced yard out front, but can walk your dog leashed around the neighborhood and in the front yard! I live in a single family home with no other pets. I have dog toys, leashes, and dishes for food and water. I do not have a crate or pen, so this will need to be provided if needed for your dog. Preferably non shedding dogs for boarding.

About: I grew up with a dog and always wanted one of my own. When I moved away from home, I missed my pup terribly. Caring for my friend’s dogs helped fill that void. Now I have my own pup who loves other dogs. Frankie is a 2.5 y/o Aussiedoodle. We love to take long walks, stopping for all the good sniffs, and go for runs together. I’m currently between jobs, so have plenty of time to care for and play with your furbaby! I’m available throughout the day for walking and sitting. I have a 6-ft high fenced yard and an energetic pup that is great at respecting your dog’s boundaries. I only sit one dog at a time and follow their routine. My goal is to make them comfortable and treat them as I do my own!

Roslindale dog parents share their Rover experiences
Carmen and Alex are amazing to work with. They are very professional and responsive, and are wonderful with our animals. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets!
If you’re looking for a trustworthy dog walker, Karen is it! We are so grateful to have found Karen to walk Louie, who can be very strong at times. Karen is always punctual, communicates very well, and provides great recaps following each walk. I never have to worry about Louie when Karen walks him as her expertise in dog walking was evident on the day we met. She always has Louie’s best interest in mind and communicates about weather and is flexible with providing alternatives (usually cuddles!) with Louie on days where it’s too hot to be outside for a long period of time. Thanks so much for caring for Louie!
Maggie was the best with Finn!! We are so appreciative of her kindness and patience with our nervous boy. By the end of their time, he loved her! We are so grateful for her!
There’s truly no one else I would trust with my dog more than Michael. He’s kind, caring, and so thoughtful with Oliver. My dog absolutely adores him! you can tell they have the best time together. Michael always sends great updates and the sweetest pictures that make my day and give me peace of mind knowing my dog is in great hands. He’s incredibly reliable, always on time, and very responsive if I ever have any questions or last-minute schedule changes. I’ve been working with Michael for a long time now, and it’s been nothing but a wonderful experience. He really goes above and beyond! from drying Oliver after rainy walks to remembering little details about his routines and quirks. I honestly don’t know what we’d do without him. Highly, highly recommend!
Samantha did a wonderful job with lunch time walks/drop-ins for our dog for a few weeks - super reliable, friendly, and communicative!
Madison was great with our anxious pup! We appreciated great communication and care for our challenging little guy.
Michelle is super attentive and did an amazing job with Zulie who immediately felt comfortable to go on a walk.
Thank you so much for everything! You’re been such a great pal to Tucker and his biggest fan! Your pictures of him were so beautiful, and we appreciate the detailed updates and filling up his water bowl after his walks. Tucker will miss you so much!!
Olivia is the best! She has walked Raya for us multiple times on short notice. She consistently arrives on time and Raya loves spending time with her. She even brought Raya a little treat and gift for this past walk! We feel very comfortable leaving our new rescue in her care :)

Dog Walking FAQs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.
Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Roslindale.
You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.
Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.
We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
