About: I absolutely love dogs! I grew up around dogs and gained extensive dog-handling experience throughout college. I've volunteered with three service dog organizations in Florida, North Carolina, and Massachusetts. I volunteered weekly with dogs as young as three months old, including Golden Retrievers, Labs, and Great Danes. I grew up owning pitbulls and I love dogs of any breed! During my volunteering, I was responsible for feeding, socializing, and exercising the dogs, as well as cleaning up after them and sanitizing their areas. I also socialized them in public places and assisted with their training. I've been dogsitting for family and friends since I was in high school, and I am very reliable and considerate. I know how important it is to find someone great to take care of your dog and I'm happy to answer any questions you have! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible! I'm available mornings, afternoons, and evenings to any walks or visits. I'm very flexible based on your needs and your dog's schedule. I grew up with dogs so I know how important it is to make sure your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for! I'm careful to leave your home as I found out and safety is my top priority. I respect any house rule (shoes off, lights on, adjust AC, etc.) and ensure your dog is walked, fed, and has enough water before leaving.
“Frances and Julia did a great job with Marge! They spent extra time hanging out with her after the walk. Marge looked so happy in the photos and we are very appreciative!”

I love being able to provide pets with attention and companionship throughout the day rather than having them spend long hours alone.

I’ll follow all instructions you provide for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any other special needs. I’ll give your pets plenty of attention and companionship while also respecting their space and individual personalities.

I’ll also make sure fresh water is available, litter boxes are clean, and your home is left neat and secure after each visit.
“Nina was really punctual, reliable, has a great demeanor! My dog was initially really resistant to a new person but was able to get like her in no time!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stoneham
Truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Ryan and Martina. They go above and beyond in every possible way and treat our girl Piper like their own! Their kindness and genuine love for dogs was evident right away. They are incredibly thoughtful communicative and reliable. They gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s not easy trusting someone else with a very important member of your family but they made it so easy! We are so grateful for the exceptional care they provided and feel incredibly lucky to have them around the corner from us!! Would recommend them a thousand times over!
Diane was wonderful! She accepted our same-day booking and was so understanding and patient with us as we tried to send her a video explaining how to access our place. She was great about keeping us updated through the app and was very thorough throughout Gus’s walk. We really appreciated how easygoing and reliable she was, and it looked like Gus had a great time with her. We would absolutely recommend Diane!
Kerri was amazing with Gus! She was so patient and understanding with our last-minute booking and when we weren’t able to respond right away. We really appreciated how thorough she was with updates through the app and keeping us informed throughout his walk. It looked like Gus had a great time, and we would absolutely recommend Kerri to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker!
Sanela is awesome! Our high energy labrador retriever pup had so much fun walking and playing with her. She was easy to coordinate with and sent us lots of photo and video updates. This was our first time hiring a dog walker and she made the experience great. Highly recommend Sanela!
Olha was a delight to work with and very attentive to my dog's needs and to any specific requests that I made. Luckily, she was available on short notice for both a meet and greet, and then to schedule 2 walks the next day. She obviously loves animals, has direct experience working with them, and is highly competent and responsible. I truly appreciated her responsiveness and professionalism, and my dog loved her! Looking forward to hopefully working with Olha again. She gets all the stars without hesitation!
Yesika has been the greatest dog walker! She is responsive and communicative and kind. When I dropped Achilles off for an overnight stay, he was sooooo excited to see her. I already had no doubts that she was a good sitter, and that confirmed it for me and made me feel even better about having her care for my boy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Stoneham is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 10,459 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Stoneham. 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 Stoneham. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Stoneham after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Stoneham. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
