“Kerri has been walking Zuko (mostly) daily for about a month and she has been wonderful! We have a flexible schedule and she is extremely responsive, Zuko loves her and has great fun on their walks. She is always prepared with extra poop bags and is always willing to refill his water or feed him lunch or give him a treat before leaving if ever I’ve requested it! If you need a regular walker in the area I’d definitely recommend her!”
“Lauren has taken great care of my labrador retriever, Tanner, on days I have to go in the office. During our meet and greet she took notes specific to my dog and was super friendly! She asked a lot of questions and provided the best care I could ask for. Lauren provided updates and pictures of Tanner during his walks with her. I would recommend Lauren to all my friends with dogs.”
“Rosemary was wonderful! So communicative and prompt. Always keeping me informed of everything going on. My little guy was a little shy at first so she brought her own dog as a companion and it worked like a charm. She's great!”
“Carol has been great while taking our Gouda girl outside while we are away at work. Gouda is very nervous to go outside and carol has been very patient and helped her be more comfortable. Thanks!”
“Courtney saved us this week after we had a last-minute change of plans. She took excellent care of our doggy, and sent us lots of great pictures. Highly recommend!”

My other one is a 6lbs Yorkie who thinks she is 100lb. She loves to play with other dogs, the bigger the better.
“Noila was very prompt and walked Miles without any issues. She had a last minute adjustment close to the time and had to modify the booking, but she was very apologetic and professional about it. We would definitely use Noila’s services again.”

“Liz is an amazing caregiver for our little pup! She gives attention to his puppy experience and communicates with me about the details. She really cares and is so very capable with pups!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have had three Shar Pei of my own. Shar Pei can be a challenging breed, and all three of mine experienced health issues over the years, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs who need a little extra patience and attention, including administering medications. I no longer have a dog in my home and have recently been dog sitting for friends and family. I’ve enjoyed it so much that I decided it was time to expand! I truly enjoy having dogs around, taking them for walks and giving them plenty of attention. Your dog will be treated like part of my family, not a guest. I work outside of the home during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, exercise and companionship they need. I enjoy walking and being outdoors, so daily walks are something I genuinely look forward to. When I’m home, your dog will be right there with me as part of the family. I have a fully fenced-in yard where your dog can safely spend time outside, and there are currently no other pets living in my home. This allows me to give your dog lots of individual attention and makes my home a comfortable option for dogs who may prefer not to be around other animals. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for dogs with health issues and special needs. I’ll also follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping and medication routine as closely as possible. Above all, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable and at home while you’re away.
“I was a nervous wreck leaving my fully work from home job to move to an office because I was scared to leave our pup, but Ying has been 100% on the ball. She is professional and communicative. Can’t recommend her highly enough through her first week with our dog!”
About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for pets and a genuine love for animals. I grew up with cats and dogs, which taught me from a young age how to understand their different personalities, respect their boundaries, and provide them with patience, attention, and loving care. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I currently have a sweet, friendly 6-year-old Pomeranian who is a very important part of our family. In addition, I cared for a Golden Retriever for two years, giving me experience with a larger and more active dog. Through caring for my own pets and the pets in my family, I’m comfortable with everyday pet care such as feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, and maintaining their normal routines. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. 🐶🐱❤️ I’m a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and care to the pets I look after. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I can be flexible with scheduling depending on your pet’s needs. I’m able to give pets the companionship and attention they need throughout the day while maintaining their regular routines. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I live in a comfortable townhouse with a fully fenced yard, providing a safe space for pets to enjoy fresh air and playtime. My home is conveniently located next to a Memorial Park, which provides a great nearby space for safe, enjoyable walks and outdoor time. Dogs can get fresh air, exercise, and plenty of opportunities to explore their surroundings without needing to travel far. I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being while they’re in my care. 🐾❤️
“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 offer pick up and drop off for your furry friend. I have a fenced in yard with sun/shade and two floors that accommodate all types of pet personalities.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wakefield
We’ve met Sanela a few times at our dog park and knew she would be a great walker. She spends lots of quality time with both our mini aussies in the dog park and we really appreciate her! Can’t go wrong having her walk your furry friend(s), she loves all animals!
Fernanda is the best dog walker! She treats our dog like she’s her own and is very communicative with us when she has Piper. We get plenty of pictures and updates while they’re together. She took the time to come meet Piper before she started walking her which put us at ease to see how they interacted together so well before walks! 10/10 would recommend

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Wakefield on Rover is $22.2 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 .

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 Wakefield. 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 Wakefield.

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 Wakefield. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
