“Madison is amazing! She helped us out in short notice and updated me with every walk. Felt very comfortable having her walk my dog! Will definitely reach out to her again!”
About: Feel free to request me outside of my availability. Will say yes if I can! Love dogs and going on walks during the day to get out of the office. Good to walk around the city or go to a local park and play ball. Experience with dogs since childhood and has owned dog. Owner of a puppy until senior death. I am currently working Monday - Friday full time along with another part time job. Looking to get out of the office and be a part of a dogs life again without owning one (my apt doesn’t allow them). Cannot keep pets in my apartment. More than happy to go to your home. Please leave notes for best/preferred care for animal if needed :)
“David is awesome with handling puppies, adults and dogs who are more anxious. Our dog gets so excited to see David everytime he comes. David does a great job of tiring them out and giving them opportunities to be social and get play time with other dogs.”
“Cassidy was wonderful. She was extremely responsive and flexible with timing. She took our pup, Olive, on a fantastic walk and got to see the sights. Olive came back happy and tired. We definitely recommend her and would work with her again.”
“Jenica is lovely! She is kind, punctual, great at communicating, flexible and considerate with my dog's unique needs, and my dog loves her. I recommend her for dog walking!”
About: I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats throughout my life. I am a huge animal person. My family always has said I have a special bond with animals they always love me! I’d love to watch your pets during my time off! I am very consistent, timely and respectful. I am currently not working as I am searching for a job after graduating from my masters program! So I have lots of time on my hands. I’ll give your pet lots of love and care. I will listen to any reccomendations or specifications from their parents to best support and comfort them on their days alone.
“Nicola was great with our dog Sierra. Nicola responds quicky and is easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her for dog walks and I would happily book her again.”
“Katie was prompt, communicated very well, took great care of Nellie and even made sure she wasn’t out in the heat too long. Would book again and highly recommend!”
“Owen has been great! I can tell our pup looks forward to seeing him. He provides feedback on the walk and even helps reinforce the training habits we’ve been working on implementing with our dog. It’s fun to see the photo updates from the walk he provides. 5 stars.”
“Grace is the absolute best!! She took such great care of our golden retriever Henry. We always could count on Grace’s communication, availability and kindness. We would recommend Grace to any dog parents look for a consistent and reliable dog walker. Your dog will be in perfect hands ♥️”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I’m committed to following their routine so they feel right at home while you’re away. As a law student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine for feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Bethany did an amazing job with taking care of my dog! She is very quick to respond if I have any questions or requests. I love seeing a picture of my dog midday while working!”
About: I have three years of dedicated dog-sitting experience, providing dependable in-home care for dogs while their owners were away. I regularly commuted to clients’ homes, followed their established routines, took them on walks throughout the day, provided meals and fresh water, and made sure all of their individual needs were met. In addition to my formal experience, I have frequently cared for dogs belonging to friends, neighbors, and family members. I’m comfortable providing attentive, patient, and reliable care for dogs with a variety of routines and personalities. I’m doing some part-time classes on Monday and Tuesday in the afternoon so I have a pretty open weekly schedule. I am also be open to weekend work as well! I have lots of experience with taking care of dogs and clients homes and I always try to leave the Home looking a little bit cleaner than how it looked when I arrived. I’m very clean and conscious of little and big things like locking up the house when I take the dogs out. I love making sure that the dogs are happy and comfortable around me whether they wanna play and walk a lot or they just wanna chill out, I am happy with whatever makes them happy!
About: I have cared for dogs and cats throughout my life and grew up being responsible for their daily needs. In high school, I worked as a neighborhood dog walker, and throughout college, I provided pet-sitting services. I am also the proud owner of a senior cat, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and loving to care for your pets. I am currently employed full time, but I don’t work Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I’d be available for walking/pet-sitting for any weekend trips! I can easily follow owner’s instructions to maintain your pet’s usual routine, securing doors and gates, keeping harmful items out of reach, and even administering medications if needed. I provide regular updates so that pet parents can feel confident that their pet is safe and well cared for.
About: Hi! I'm currently a second year law student at Suffolk. I have grown up being surrounded by pets. I had multiple cats and one dog growing up. I have enjoyed taking my dog on walks and know what it takes to walk one. I have dog and catsat throughout college and during my two gap years between undergrad and law school. I am responsible, caring, dependable, and flexible. I would love to get to know your pets and what makes them special. I look forward to getting to know you more and getting to know your pets as well! I am currently a student so my schedule is a little bit random. However, I have Fridays completely off. I also have breaks in between my classes during Monday through Thursday. I am mainly unavailable Wednesdays since that is my busiest course load day this semester. I have dog sat for multiple families before, so I know how to look after and watch dogs. I took the dogs I dogsat for on walks, and made sure they got the exercise and attention they needed while their owners were away!
About: I was always the neighborhood dog walker growing up, and had a personal garage door opener for everyone on my street! My family and I raised and trained a dog for America’s Vet Dogs, and I am newly an Aunt (my sister now has a long haired dachshund named Liesel) I work full time, but Mondays and Fridays I work from home and am very flexible! I am free most weekends, and am on Rover to make some extra cash, go for walks, and help people out in my community. I have a fenced backyard and 2 dog-loving roommates. Whatever works for you and your pet, let me know. I’m flexible with going to yours, them staying here, or just giving them some excercise and sunshine.

Sarah took really great care of my dog this week especially on short notice. She went the extra mile making sure she had the chance to finish her food after my stubborn pup refused to eat her breakfast with me. Sarah even cleaned up my dog’s water bowl after I had spilled it on my way out one morning, all without asking. My dog and I both highly recommend her!
Christianna was very patient with Ritchie, who can be shy and nervous with new people. She gave him the time he needed to feel comfortable and kept me updated on how everything went. She was responsive, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the process. I really appreciated her patience with him!
Faith was the most helpful! We booked her last minute and she accommodated all of my questions/changes enthusiastically. Her love for our pups was felt from 300 miles away and the peace of mind she gave us that they were being well cared for meant the world. Will definitely book again! Thank you faith! Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in South Boston on Rover is $23.31 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 10,607 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across South Boston. 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 South Boston. 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 South Boston.

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 South Boston. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
