About: Hi, I'm Alice! I live in Malden and I love spending time outdoors with dogs. I have owned a dog before, and I have also helped friends walk their medium-sized dogs. I exercise regularly, and I am comfortable with active dogs. I offer calm, one-on-one walks in Malden and nearby areas. I will follow your dog's normal routine, keep your dog on leash at all times, clean up after them, and make sure they have fresh water when we get back. I am also happy to do drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, and a short play or potty break. After every walk or visit, I will send you photos and a short update, so you know how your dog did. I am patient, on time, and happy to meet you and your dog first with a free meet & greet. Please feel free to message me with any questions! > I'm a freelancer with a fully flexible schedule, so I'm available for dog walks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays.

About: Hi, I'm Joanne. I started to walk dogs for Rover in 2019. Prior to starting at Rover, I volunteered for several years at a local animal shelter. In the Summer of 2025, I became certified as a dog trainer through Rover's Good Pup Program. I'm available for either dog walking or dog training, Mondays through Thursday, day or evenings. I'm also available on weekends if requested. I am a past proud owner of a 17 yr old blind beagle named Toby, who passed in 2023. Toby went blind when he was 4 yrs old, so I had to learn to administer eye meds for additional eye issues as well as learn to train and live with a disabled dog. Raising a blind dog required me to gain additional patience and training techniques to ensure his safety and well-being beyond what's necessary in a dog without a disability. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs or those with disabilities. Additionally I can provide in home visits for either dogs or cats, providing meals, medications or play time in the comfort of a dog or cat's home. I'm a very active person who enjoys being outdoors as much as possible either walking or hiking. I'm available to do any of these activities with your dogs as I believe a well exercised dog is the happiest, healthiest and the most well behaved. I look forward to meeting your fur babies. I am available to care for dogs at my condo on weekends. Larger dogs who aren't high energy needing a great deal of space to roam would also be welcome. I try to take dogs out as much as possible as I'm a strong believer that exercise is the key to a happy and healthy dog. I believe regular exercise is the key to a dog's good behavior, so please know I try to get your dog outside as much as possible. I also feel consistency and a schedule help a dog know what to expect which can help make them a happy confident pet. As a result, I try to keep a dog to whatever schedule a pet parent already has in place when possible.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saugus
This was my first time using the Rover app, and I found Steven’s profile because he lives close to my house. We were going to travel and needed someone to walk Tango and Chico around the same time they normally go out. I shared all the information with Steven, and he accepted right away. We even met before the trip so he could get to know Tango and Chico. We walked together, I showed him their usual route, and everything was set. Steven was always punctual and would let me know when he was arriving so I could turn off the alarm. After each walk, I received the Rover card showing the route, duration, and miles walked — and of course, pictures too. I highly recommend him, and I’ll definitely hire him again whenever I need. Thank you so much, Steven!

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.
