About: Hello dog owners and friends! My name is Steve and I am a retired professional who calls Cape Cod home. I enjoy taking care of adult and senior pets. (Please note that my regular clients have a locked-in rate that is lower than the rate stated in my Rover Profile). Rates for new clients are sometimes negotiable. For Starters - I have ramps into my house and into my completely fenced-in back yard. I make every effort to make your dog feel like they are home. I have several dog beds throughout the house and provide easy access to my back yard. I am adept at giving medications, if necessary during your dog's stay. I live close to 2 cranberry bogs, which I use to walk larger dogs during their stay. I have been a pet owner since 2007 and have rescued a number of senior dogs since that time. Currently, I have a new senior addition to my household; Bailey, a very chill mini-border collie. She gets a long with most dogs and all people. I retired from my job in the pharmaceutical industry at an early age so that I could enjoy many years of retirement and doing the things that I enjoy such as taking care of other people's pets. I have a fenced in yard and provide water bowls both inside and outside my house. I keep a crate handy for separation issues. I have pill pockets for any medications that need to be given.
About: I have experience as a veterinary assistant, and have worked with so many different animals! I have lots of hands-on experience and knowledge of animal health and care. I have worked with a doggy daycare as well and loved every second. I know how important it is to find a pet sitter that really cares! I can go on long or short walks depending on the dog’s ability. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs, so I know the different activity levels. If away, I will make sure your animal is eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom normally, and I will always let the owner know if something seems wrong. I will also gladly send pictures when asked! Can administer medication. I am also fully insured! I will always make sure pets are safe and secure when leaving homes. I can crate dogs if ever needed. I will feed on schedule and go on walks accordingly. I will follow all protocols given by owners, and I will clean up messes from the animals if that ever happens. Your pet will be in good hands, and if anything seems wrong with the animal while you are gone, I will call the owner or, in case of an emergency, bring she/him to the vet. I am currently working part-time, so I have lots of time to play with your animals! I am available on weekends and weekdays. I am always willing to fit you in around my open schedule! I provide attentive care tailored to your pet's needs. This includes regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I maintain a clean and safe environment, ensuring your pet's comfort and well-being at all times.
“Kristen has been an absolute blessing to our family! She is dependable, kind, and truly loves what she does. From the moment she met Samba, it was obvious she genuinely cared about making him feel comfortable and happy. She always communicates well, sends updates, and gives me peace of mind knowing my boy is in such caring hands. Samba absolutely adores her, and seeing how excited he gets when she arrives tells me everything I need to know. As a busy daycare provider, it’s such a relief to know I can count on someone who is trustworthy, professional, and treats my dog like one of her own. I wholeheartedly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Samba—we appreciate you so much!”
“Aliaksandra was lovely and incredibly helpful with walking my dog, Kona. She gave a detailed report of their walk with photos and her communication was great. She took such good care of my pup and I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. I had cats, dogs, hamsters, bunnies and horses growing up and currently have 1 dog. I have trained my dog to be a therapy dog and love taking her out and about. I have experience taking care of animals in need of medication and special attention. I am a teacher and off for the summer so I have a lot of availability during the day, week and weekends to walk and/or take care of your pet. I have a fenced in yard and can easily block off the upstairs in order to keep your pet in a comfortable and happy environment
About: Senior pets have a special place in my heart. I’ve had pets my whole life, growing up with two dogs, (A golden, named princess and a Vizsla, named Ruby Rose) and a handful of kitties whom I’ve loved till their 9th life. I am comfortable with administering medications, following specific diets, and attending to your pet’s unique quirks and specificities! I have dog-sat for friends and neighbors over the years, and I also pet sit on Trusted House Sitters I’m off work this summer, so pet care fits easily into my day! Mornings, afternoons, evenings, whatever works best for your pet’s routine. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible: same feeding schedule, same walk times. I’m attentive to details like locking doors and gates, keeping food/water fresh, and watching for any signs of stress or illness. I treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own
About: I have my own golden doodle named Ollie who I have learned to take care of ever since I was eight years old. I love to walk, feed, bathe, and have fun with pets!

I am comfortable working with pets of all sizes. I can feed and provide comfort to pets. I hope to provide the best and most safe care I can!
About: Dogs are pretty straightforward which I love. If they like or don’t like something they’ll let you know. More importantly is understanding their owners. Patience is key. You can get a dog to love you but to respect you is a different story. My full time job is 12:00-7:30pm. Days I dont work I’m 100% available to watch your pups all day if need be. I can take care of bathroom breaks at 11am and 7:30-8pm Pups that I care for get 110% of my attention. At the moment I’m available to take care of clients dogs within their homes. If it means overnights I’m more than happy to.

I have a home in Yarmouth, work remotely full time and always open to caring for pets in their own home if preferred. I have an amazing cat of my own that loves other animals. I also have a 16 year old daughter that has helped raise dogs & cats since she was a baby. I look forward to connecting with you and caring for your fur baby! I currently have a work from home schedule, Monday through Friday with flexible availability for pet care in between. I own my home in Yarmouth. I have a very big yard with a runner for pups that enjoy being outside. I have the ability to keep kitties indoors if preferred. Plenty of space in my home to care for pets.
“Meg is new to us due to the relocation of our previous Rover walker/ sitter. She is extremely well qualified and professional. Gracie generally does quite a bit of protective barking at the door, but greeted Meg like a long lost friend! Just wagged her tail and gave her a kiss. Best friends already. Meg gave her a great walk and Gracie came back grinning from ear to ear! Feel very confident in Meg!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in South Yarmouth on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 645 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across South Yarmouth. 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 Yarmouth. 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 Yarmouth.

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 Yarmouth. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
