Top rated Rumford dog walkers

“Gilisa was awesome! Very punctual, flexible, friendly, and great communication. I received at least one photo of my dog every walk. Luna was tired at the end of their hour walks! Would highly recommend!”


“I cannot stress enough how above and beyond Kaitlyn goes! Unfortunately she was only able to walk my Zeus for one day before we found out he had a brain tumor. Without knowing this, Kaitlyn arrived early for his walk, spent extra time with him after his walk, and was incredibly communicative. She even interacted with my neighbors who love Zeus and updated me when he got a treat from them. I’m so happy she gave him such a great day before all of this happened. It’s obvious she’s dedicated and truly cares for the animals she sits for!”



“Susan goes about and beyond! I don’t know what I would do w/o her and my Bentley loves her. She cares for him as if Her as if he were her own dog. I’m so glad we found her.:).”


“Really glad I found Maryann! Our dog has not done well during the pandemic. She’s become anxious and reactive around new people and other animals. I could tell immediately that Maryann knew exactly what to do to make KC, our 75 lb Old English Sheepdog, comfortable and less anxious. Maryann understands dogs and was even able to provide useful information about proper dog walking techniques. Also, she’s kind and extremely professional!”


“We couldn't be more grateful to have had Gilbert as our dog walker while we were on vacation. From the very beginning, was professional, trustworthy, and—most importantly—absolutely wonderful with our dog. Gilbert took the time to understand our dog's routine, quirks, and preferences, and it showed in how happy and relaxed our pup was when we got home. He kept us updated with photos and little notes after each visit, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that Gilbert genuinely cares about the pets he works with—he treated our dog like his own. If you're looking for someone dependable, kind, and truly great with animals, we wholeheartedly recommend Gilbert. We’ll definitely be booking him again! Thank you so much, The Rebello's”


“Jenna is wonderful! I love her and so does my 3yo pup. She has a great and playful personality that is infectious, but even more important is she is very conscientious. I trust her completely!”


“Camilla helped us with our dog on very short notice and was great and easy to communicate with. Thanks!”


“From the very first meeting, I knew my dog was in good hands. Sylvia showed up prepared, asked thoughtful questions, and even took notes to make sure she understood my dog’s routine and quirks. That level of care really stood out to me. Since then, she’s been amazing—reliable, kind, and clearly someone who loves what she does. My dog absolutely adores her and gets so excited when Sylvia comes by. I feel really lucky to have found her. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker who truly goes above and beyond!”


“Sam has been great with Winston! He loves getting a visit from Sam and Sam had asked all the right questions in order to best take care of Winston and his needs!”

About: I've had my dog Maximus for over five years and he is my absolute best friend. Prior to adopting Max, I fostered a reactive dog for a few months so I am familiar with handling dogs that have special behavioral needs. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged friends! I work in education and have a lot of flexibility in the summer while only going into the office one or two days a week so I can be flexible given advanced notice! Pets are family and treated as such! My dog does have limitations on which furniture he can be on so I will respect any boundaries that you set for your home but don't worry, they'll still get plenty of love!

“Delaney was an awesome sitter for Bob the Dog! Would have her take care of my pup any time!”


“Amanda has walked my rescue Staffy Gigi about 10 times now over the last 5 weeks, and I couldn't be happier! It was clear in the meet and greet that they would get along great, and it's even more clear now that they have formed a loving bond. I love listening in when Amanda picks up and drops Gigi off from her walk, it sounds as if she's speaking to her own dog, so very sweet. Gigi sounds genuinely excited to get out the door and on the road every time. I couldn't recommend Amanda enough. She's the perfect match for my Gigi.”


“Michelle is amazing! We can enjoy our time away knowing that our dogs are in excellent hands and getting lots of snuggles and love. And her communication and updates are great! 🐶🐾”


About: Building lasting relationships through personalized attention, reliable communication, and treating each pup as my own beloved companion, ensuring their happiness and your peace of mind! I work from home and have flexible availability, I block out morning and evening times to be readily available to tend for your pups needs I have a series of questions I ask to understand the pup I will be taking care of to ensure they avoid dangerous situations that may trigger them, always use leashes and follow schedules they are used to while keeping you in loop of our time together

“Such an incredible job she has done with Charlie! She is great with him and so patient and really takes the time to ask questions that matter (ex. “are there any habits you’re trying to break him from?” “Anything you would like to work on improving with him”). I have noticed a marked improvement in his temperament when we go for walks now. He used to be all over the place, pull on the leash, couldn’t figure out where to go. Now he walks along side me, only pulls when he meets new friends (other dogs approach) and he constantly checks (looks at me) to make sure he is doing well. I genuinely feel good knowing she is the one caring for Charlie. Highly recommend!”


“Thank you! I appreciate you checking on Lucky.”


About: I've been pet sitting for family friends for over a year now. I hope to use my experiences during my time using Rover for the best experiences possible! I'm currently a rising college senior between Rhode Island and Boston during the year. My schedule is based on my time between activities and internships. When pet sitting in your home I will follow instructions as needed such as specific feeding, walking, or other schedules that your fur baby is on

“I recently booked Christina to spend time with my Corgi, and I couldn't be happier with my experience with her! Before booking, Christina kindly agreed to do a meet and greet with my pup, which really put my mind at ease. You could immediately tell she cares deeply about being a reliable resource and great pet sitter. I felt completely confident leaving my dog in her care. Christina sent me numerous pictures and updates throughout her visits, keeping me informed about my pup's adventures. It was lovely to see the two of them having so much fun! I would highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Her attention to detail and love for animals shine through in her work. I'll definitely be booking her again in the future!”
