“Chelsea was great communicating and sharing updates. Our poodle was initially shy, and she was very patient and caring until he got comfortable. We’ll definitely have her check on and walk our dog again. Highly recommend her.”
About: I have had animals in my life all my life. I am comfortable working with dogs, cats, and small animals. I have also worked with animals that have special needs, specifically related to senior care. I am capable of giving meds and shots to animals. I currently work part-time for myself so I'm able to schedule around your animal's needs. I am able to walk animals up to three times today. The most important thing for an animal is to feel safe while it's owners are away. I am here to follow any routines that your pet already has to maintain a sense of security and calm.
About: Hey there! My goal is to help you be at ease knowing your fur-baby is cared for when you can't be there. I have had dogs since I was a kid, 4 Newfoundlands, a Black Lab-Brittnay Spaniel mix, and I now have Charlie, a 9 yr old German Shepherd-Black Mouth Cur mix and Finn, a 1 yr old Heeler. Finn came to us as a puppy, so I have plenty of experience dealing with those puppy messes and temperaments. Most of our newfoundlands had hip problems near the end of their life, so I have no problem helping with senior dogs that need a little more care. I have also had multiple cats throughout my life and now have Luna, she is 11. Summer is here! If you need someone to check in on your dog while you take a day trip to the beach, I'm happy to stop in and spend time with your furry one. I have 2 boys that are in school, so I'd like to spend time during the day helping other pet parents. My flexible schedule gives me the ability to be available on short notice. I am willing to fit in weekend time, but just need a little heads up due to family activities. I am happy to walk and play with your pet while I visit. If they like a good brush, I'm happy to bond with them in that way, too.
“Georgina is wonderful! Our 1 year old pup absolutely adored her, and she provided great updates and photos after each walk while we were away. We hope to work with Georgina again soon!”
“Ivan is an excellent dog sitter. He obviously loves dogs and he was attentive, calm, and thoughtful in his care. This was my first time using a dog sitter for taking my dog for walks, and I couldn't have gotten luckier in choosing Ivan to take my dog to the park and care obout my pet. Ivan takes the responsibility seriously and understands my dog behavior rather than treating it as a checklist. My dog usually has the anxieties. Ivan found the way to calm my dog and communicate with wonderful care. After couple walks withIvan my dog is very excited, waiting for Ivan to come and go to the park. Ivan isd professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout. I felt confident leaving my dog in his care and would not hesitate to book Ivan again. I am highly recommend Ivan service.”
“EC was great with Blaze! he helped so much with walking him & definitely tuckered him out. very professional, great communication & even gave some tips for walking blaze myself. 100% recommend & will use his services again. they were greatly appreciated this weekend.”
“WE FREAKIN LOVE TRICIA!!!!!! She’s a dog-whisperer and an absolute angel of a human being!!!! Tricia goes above and beyond caring for my quirky dog every single time. She’s amazing with him, meets him where he’s at and gives him loads of love and attention. She’a super respectful of my home and often does extra things like pick up my mail, refill all the doggy water bowls. She’s just incredible and your dog will the luckiest boy/girl to have her spend time with them!!!”
“Had a need to book a walk last minute and Lori had a cancellation thankfully. She is quick to respond and always lets me know if anything comes up which would cause a delay in walking my dog. Lori is the best!”
About: Hi! I’m Yasmin, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I’ve never met an animal I didn’t love. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From furry to feathery to scaly, they’ve always had a special place in my heart. Over the years I’ve had all kinds of pets, from hermit crabs and fish to cats and dogs, and I can’t wait to have even more when the time is right! Because I genuinely love animals, I’ve spent a lot of time learning about their care, behavior, and what helps them feel happy and safe. I know every pet is different, and I love getting to know their unique personalities. When I’m not spending time with my own pets, I work as a realtor, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for yours. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to match their pace and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’d love the chance to meet you and your best friend! My goal is to make sure you can leave knowing they’re in loving, reliable hands and maybe make a new furry (or scaly!) friend along the way. 🐾 My schedule is pretty flexible! During the week, I’m typically available after 2:00 PM unless I have a work appointment scheduled. Since I’m a realtor, my schedule can vary from day to day, but I do my best to keep my calendar up to date and communicate any changes. Fridays and weekends are a little less predictable. Some weekends I’m completely available, while others I may be booked with work or personal plans. When I am available on weekends, it’s usually between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM. If you have a specific date or time in mind, feel free to reach out! I’m always happy to see if I can make it work for you and your pet. 🐾 While I won’t be caring for pets in my own home, I’d be more than happy to care for them in yours! I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I always appreciate detailed instructions. The more information you can share, the better I can make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own pets, and I’ll always keep you updated for extra peace of mind. When it comes to walks, I’m especially mindful during the summer months. I prefer walking dogs on grassy or shaded paths whenever possible, and if it’s too hot outside, I’ll adjust our plans to keep them safe. Hot pavement can burn paw pads, and dogs can overheat quickly, so I always prioritize their comfort and safety over sticking to a schedule.
“Malikai was on time and very communicative. Our dog, Lola, was very excited to meet him and came back happy and tired from her walk. Lola is a 50 lb pit mix and Malikai did a great job handling her. We will definitely be hiring him again for future walks!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was born. Caring for my furry family has been a part of my life ever since. I helped care for my dogs when they got up there in age. I’m familiar with medicating my own pets and can surely learn your routine too. I’m currently home for school for the summer so I have most days completely free. I’m also one of the main carers for my two furry siblings while I’m home. I’m used to giving pills even if the pet won’t take a pill pocket (my cat won’t either). Rain or shine I’ll take your pet on a walk. Just let me know where the leashes are!
“Lauren walked my dog in our neighborhood, and it was my first time hiring a walker. She was fantastic! She sent me adorable pictures of my pup during their walk, which put my mind at ease. Would definitely recommend!”
“Mark has been fantastic! He comes in and greets Charlie as though she is his own. He even deals with her excitement jumping and hand biting which is her way of saying “hi”. He’s been extremely patient with her as she’s been a little weird on her walks and not always the most agreeable. Mark is always very responsive and communicative. I would highly recommend Mark!”
About: Hi, I’m Katie! I’ve had dogs since I was little and can’t imagine life without them. Right now I have two energetic Australian Cattle Dogs who keep me on my toes, so I’m very used to walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Living with two herding dogs has taught me patience, consistency, and how to keep pups both mentally and physically engaged. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I'm available for house sitting any day of the week, evening drop ins and/or walks as well as weekend stays and drop ins and/or walks if needed :) When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow their usual routines closely, from feeding and walks to playtime and bedtime. I treat the home with respect, keep everything tidy, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation, and I’m happy to send updates during any visit

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Southborough on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of July 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 .

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 Southborough. 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 Southborough.

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 Southborough. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
