“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!”
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: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. I have 2 of my own at the moment as well as spending a lot of time volunteering at a local shelter and have met many different breeds. I am more than happy to watch over a sweet senior or a bouncy puppy, just let me know! I'm currently taking classes online, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I'm available most days to pet sit or take the pups for walks. I would love to do a 'meet and greet' with your fur babies if you would like. Feel free to message me as much as needed!
“Juliana was quick to respond to my request and arrived on time for the scheduled walk. She took great care of my dog and gave a thorough report of how the walk went!”
“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.”
“Alexandra was great! She took care of our dog and cat while we were on vacation in Ireland. We reserved Alexandra to come every morning to feed our pets and walk our dog (neighbors helped in the afternoons/evenings). Both pets loved her, and we felt comfortable being so far away. Alex kept us posted on how our pets were doing, and spent some extra time with them giving them the love they were missing while we were away.”
“Kianna is AMAZING, such good energy to have around my dog child. I travel for work often and go into the office twice a week. Finding someone to love and care for my dog the way that I would has been a challenge. I have 2 teens that can typically do the job, but that extra love and affection is so important for a pup with separation anxiety, which is why I’m so happy we met Kianna! I can’t wait for Juice to spend more time with her. Kianna is great at communicating thru the app, has outstanding response time, takes the cutest pics and leaves the best report cards. Kianna made juice feel extra special while I was away and put my nerves at ease. Overall, win win!”
“Tricia is awesome! So friendly and easy to communicate with, and a real pro! She bonded instantly with Mojo, and even showed up a little early for their walk, which worked out perfectly! Can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Lori is great with Fox and always sends lots of pictures. I truly appreciate her willingness to be flexible with me. This time she couldn’t do Wednesday as she had booked someone else’s dog for daycare. So we made Tuesday work out with my travel plans. Thanks Lori! Fox will see you again soon.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since birth- literally. My first dog used to sleep in my crib with me! I’ve had 12 dogs so far throughout my life, and each one has taught me important lessons about love and responsibility. I couldn’t imagine my life without them. I’ve had dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs. I can safely administer medications, provide happy and fun play time, snuggle up on the couch with your pet, and tailor individualized needs based on your requests. I truly enjoy meeting and caring for dogs, and would love to meet yours :) I work full time as a night shift registered nurse and home care nurse in the greater boston area, and would like to make some extra money doing what I love; being around animals. My schedule is different every week, so my availability is very flexible! I am also home during the day when lots of people are away, and work when the world is asleep! I am adaptable to any environment, needs, or requirements for your pet. I am comfortable walking, crating, training, feeding, and administering meds to your pet! All I require is written or typed instructions to ensure it’s done properly and safely!
About: We are a pet-loving family who is home and present every day. We’ve cared for multiple dogs over the years and currently have a fully trained Golden Retriever of our own. My wife loves animals and has extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. She is CPR and First Aid certified and is currently enrolled in a Veterinary Technician program to become a licensed vet nurse. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always our top priorities. Our goal is to care for your furry baby as you would. We can not have ANY aggressive dogs here, they must do well with other dogs. We are comfortable administering oral prescriptions and eye drops, doing nail trims. We always check your dog's nails, ears, paws so we can take care of it if you want. We have a large home with plenty of open space. We have a friendly Golden Retriever loves the company of other dogs and she s very calm and friendly. We do not have crates, but we do have enclosed areas with separation, so your dog can have his own space to eat when we are having more than one booking. If your dog need to be crated we can certainly use it if you provide the crate.
“Hailey provided great care for my two Boston terrier. On the first day there was trouble with access to my apartment due to my leasing office being closed. Hailey stuck with it & waited till I could get home to let her in to take care of pups. She’s a great communicator. 10/10 would recommend & would ask for help in the future.”
“Nicholas was really friendly and on time! He was very good at handling Kona (who tends to jump) and was able to handle his pull-y nature. Very grateful for all of Nicholas’s help and I would not hesitate to ask for his services in the future.”
About: My experience encompasses daily walks, meticulous feeding schedules, and recognizing subtle signs of distress. I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and stimulating environment, ensuring your pets feel secure and happy in your absence. My approach is tailored to each animal's unique needs, fostering a bond of trust and affection. I am going back to school to show my son it can still be done at my age. Your pets will fit into my schedule perrrfectly. I have a very loved 8 year old rescued cat that my son adores. Although I don't offer services at my home your pets will be loved and cared for like my own.
About: I grew up with a dog from the age 3-16! My best friend has a Boxer and I've been taking care and watching him frequently since he was a puppy! I also worked at an office where the owners had two dogs, a small chihuahua and a greater Swiss mountain dog. I took them out for frequent walks & fed them, as well as watched them when the owners weren't around. I'm currently a Stay-Home-Mother. My son is 3 years old, so the pet must be toddler friendly. I am home most weekdays. I can be busy on weekends, but if I have an early heads-up, I can accommodate. I am flexible during the week and have a car to drive to my client's houses! I am willing to stop by and feed, play and walk your pet.

Emma was super sweet! Very communicative and reliable. Grateful to have found such a wonderful person that works remotely. This will help us tremendously for future needs caring for our Dodgy. I look forward to it! Thank you Emma for taking him for a walk today 🌸
My dog Luna loves going in her walks with Georgina! She uses the commands that we have trained Luna with and is very respectful of the rules we have for Luna. We have recurring walks set up 4 days a week and some add on weekend walks. Georgina is awesome to work with!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Southborough on Rover is $21.4 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 10,894 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Southborough. 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 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.
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 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.
