This is the first time we let anyone other than family care for Pepper. Haley was fabulous! She was prompt, spent time asking questions and letting us get to know her. And Pepper loved her! I have already booked her for return visits. Thank you!!

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages- from birth to little old pups and I am here to help where I can. I am a huge pet lover and have always helped family and friends take care of their pets when needed. Extra Note: I have taken care of and owned many types of pets- cats, goats, chickens, reptiles, ferrets and more! I am a college student with weird hours and time to spare! In the summer I am available most of the time with really no time constraints. The school year is trickier but I am still able to help when needed and ready to! However you care for your furbabies I will do the same! Just tell me what they love and don't love and we will work together. I want your pet to be comfortable with me as much as you are with me caring for them!

Thankful for her we needed a walker last minute and she did it. My dog likes her and seems very happy when she comes. She makes sure his needs are met before she leaves. She plays fetch with him and gives plenty of cuddles 🥰

Our dog Reggie loves Paul. Paul is always punctual and reliable. He takes Reggie on extra long walks to wear him out when we have long days at work.

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including 10 years working in rescue and fostering. This has given me strong experience with everything from high-energy dogs to anxious or shy personalities. I provide a calm, structured, kennel-free home where dogs are treated like family — not boarded in a facility. I have one friendly English Lab, Gracey, and four cats. I have extensive experience managing a multi-pet household and always prioritize safe, slow introductions and proper separation when needed to ensure every pet feels comfortable and secure. While my yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is fully supervised using secure tethers or leashes for safety. I am comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, senior care, and tailoring each stay to your dog’s specific needs. I am the primary caregiver, but my 14-year-old daughter also helps and has grown up around animals, including 10 years of rescue and fostering experience. She is gentle, attentive, and always supervised. I also offer drop-in visits in the Scituate, RI area for dogs who prefer to stay in their own home. You’ll receive daily photo and video updates, along with clear communication, so you always know your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Pets are rarely left alone for long periods, and I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I structure my day around the pets in my care to keep their routine as close to home as possible. This includes feeding schedules, outdoor time, walks, and rest. I am available for boarding, drop-ins in the Scituate, RI area, and can accommodate weekday and weekend care. My goal is to provide a calm, reliable routine so your pet feels safe and comfortable during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

About: Animals are definitely my passion in life! I have taken care of and owned cats and dogs my entire life and have loved every moment. I have previously worked as a certified pet sitter and dog walker for a local pet sitting business. Along with pet sitting and dog walking, I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters where I worked with a variety of different animals. I am also Pet CPR and Pet First Aid certified, and am able to administer oral medications to dogs and cats. I have experience working with puppies with high energy who are not leash trained, with senior pets, deaf pets, and more. I will provide customized care tailored to your pet’s needs and give them lots of love along the way! I treat animals the same way that I treat humans- with respect and empathy. I also encourage meet and greets with clients so that I can get to know you and your pets before the scheduled visit! This helps me learn your pet’s routine and get comfortable with them. My schedule is pretty wide open and flexible. I have availability for drop-ins and dog walks in the mornings and afternoons (6am-3pm) every day except Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Safety is my #1 priority while pet sitting. I will follow any instructions you give me for taking care of your pet. As for dogs- your dog and I will always take the quieter and less busy route and avoid people and other pets to prevent any unfavorable mishaps. A fenced-in yard is always preferred for playtime, but if you do not have a fenced-in yard than your dog will always be on the leash while we are outside to prevent any runaways. If you have instructions to put your dog in their crate upon leaving, I will always make sure they go into their crate comfortably and latch the hooks completely. In regards to cats, when entering and exiting the house I use extreme caution to make sure the cats do not run outside. I am also Pet CPR and Pet First Aid certified so you can rest assure that your pet would be well tended to if an urgent situation were to arise.

Stephanie was great with Daisy, who can be very strong and excitable. I needed someone to walk my dog while I was recovering from an injury. She showed up promptly when she said she would and walked her for exactly the time she said she would. She is friendly and so good with my pit bull. I would highly recommend her.

About: Hi! I’m Johnny, a dependable and caring dog lover! I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether that’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or just keeping them company. I’m currently just looking to be a dog walker around the area! I offer short and long term walks as well as play time in a safe nearby park if you are looking to get extra energy out! Your dog’s safety always comes first, and I stay attentive and aware during every walk. I work a full time job with a rotating schedule but I am happy to help accommodate someone if a tight spot and needs a last minute dog walker!

I have watched dogs in my home for family and friends when they are out of town for a few years and I have a 2 year old golden retriever who gets spoiled with treats, walks and playtime! I currently have a rotating work schedule which gives me a lot of time off. Looking to help dog owners in the area who are looking for a reliable dog walker I have a 2 year old golden retriever who loves attention and being outside.

About: My family and I have fostered dogs and cats, and litters of puppies and kittens since I was nine years old. Being homeschooled for a majority of my childhood, I was able to learn about taking care of these needy animals at such a young age. We have fostered dogs and cats of almost all ages, from newborns to adults. Even during the years, my family and I fostered these animals, I’ve had multiple neighbors at a time rely on me to visit and walk their dogs while they’re at work. That is how I got my first job at 11 years old. I’m out of school for the summer, so I am free practically whenever your pups need me! I can drop in/walk daily or weekly, whatever works for you! With my school and work schedule and the living situation I’m in, I don’t currently offer boarding services, but that may change in the future!

About: Ive been taking care of family pets for years and I enjoy spending time with them! Animals are my passion and I’ve earned the experience of taking care of them. This is my part-time job, which means my schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. I’m able to adjust my availability to meet your needs, whether that’s weekdays, weekends, mornings, or evenings! I have had a dog for around 10 years and I’ve seen the way he’s grown from pup to a big dog. I’ve also taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs that are smaller. With this, I can promise that your pets will be safe with me!

About: I've had dogs all my life from old to puppies! My friends and family ask me to watch their animals all the time while they go on vacations and I absolutely love it. I currently have a 7 year old lab of my own that I trained through puppyhood. Before her, I took care of my previous dog who lived to be 16, so I am also familiar with doggie diapers and medications. I am a per diem physical therapist at a major hospital in RI so my schedule is variable week to week. Since I have a dog of my own I will not be able to board in my own home. I am also flexible with schedules as long as I am notified of the needed days at least 1 week before. I will not be boarding in my home due to my dog however I am knowledgable about the dog parks and trails in RI so I will be able to take walks or bring them to the park when I am with them. If there is a case where one of my other family members wants to join me on the walk and they were to bring my dog, she gets along very well with others! We are a very lovable household!

About: I’ve had a dog of my own for a while and also have taken care of my neighbors pets for long periods of time! From walks, baths, feeding and playtime, I’m experienced in taking care and having fun with dogs of all ages. My dog in particular was a senior and she dealt with arthritis and liver disease, which would limit her ability to do certain things like long walks and going upstairs, or even eating. I do have the experience of taking care of senior dogs that may need this special treatment. I also walked King (pictured) as a volunteer for PAWS NY. This organization has volunteers who walk and/or take care of pets for those who are unable to do so themselves. My job is remote, so I can work from anywhere. My hours are also very flexible, so I am able to work around your schedule! I am also available anytime on the weekends! My area is safe and very pet friendly. The neighborhood is very residential, and there are a few parks nearby. There is also plenty of accessibility and perfect for pets!

About: Growing up, I’ve always had a ton of animals in the house. Since I was a teenager, I have house-sat/animal-sat for family members and family friends. If I take care of your pet, they have my attention and of course love <3 I work fully remote, so I have tons of flexibility in my schedule, including availability during the weekday, evenings, and on weekends! Happy to hang out all day with your pet. Your pet’s safety is always my priority. As someone with pets myself, I understand the stress that occurs when you need someone else to take care of them for a time. That’s why I do everything in my power to reassure owners that their pet is in great hands and that we’ll have fun together! For example, if I’m taking your dog for a walk I will be incredibly mindful of my surroundings, including traffic and other people, so that your dog remains safe. If I’m staying overnight to watch your pet, I will be considerate of belongings in the property and happily play with the pet(s) in the home :)

FAQs for Dog Walking - Scituate

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Scituate on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 2,879 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Scituate. 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 Scituate. 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 Scituate.

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 Scituate. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
