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!

Courtney was truly exceptional with my little anxious boy, Gus. She cared for him with so much patience, compassion, and genuine understanding. She went out of her way to ensure he felt safe and comfortable, even while he was struggling with separation anxiety and the challenges that come with it. It’s not easy to support a dog through that level of emotional stress, but Courtney handled everything seamlessly and with such kindness. I feel incredibly grateful to have found someone I can completely trust with Gus, especially during more difficult times. Courtney went goes above and beyond, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone, especially those with dogs who need a little extra care, attention, and love.

About: I have helped take care of friends and families dogs/pets for about 5 years now. I have overnight sat for friends and took care of their dogs that required special feeding and medication instructions. I also helped train my own dog with stuff like sit and paw. I am currently working part-time in the hospital as an aide. I will not be working for most of the summer, so I will have plenty of time to check in on dogs or even stay over night at houses to pet sit. I have a fenced in yard and a long, strong lead if needed for dogs that can be escape artists. I also am strong enough to hold bigger dogs that can pull.

About: I've had a dog of my own for about 10 years, and I’ve also cared for other dogs for up to 5 days at a time. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I love being around dogs—they genuinely make me happy. I’m comfortable with puppies and senior dogs and always try to adjust to each dog’s pace and needs. I treat every dog like my own and aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work remotely with flexible hours, so I’m available for regular walks throughout the day. I love taking breaks to get outside, and walking dogs is the perfect way to add movement and joy to my daily routine. I do my best to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of playtime and affection (if they want it!), and keep their space clean. I respect the client’s home, leave everything as I found it, and always keep in touch with updates and photos.

About: I have been a pet lover all my life! Because I live in a condo with no yard, my family and I agreed it is not fair to have any pets. As a compromise, we offer to pet sit for our family and friends every chance we get. I have taken care of new born kittens, cats of all ages, small and medium sized dogs as well as blind dogs. I am very comfortable with dogs and truly love them! I love to play, walk and snuggle! As a graduate student I have free time during the day to care for your pets and I live in a pet friendly home for your overnight needs. It would bring me great joy to take care of your pets!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Wakefield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Wakefield on Rover is $22.2 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 .

As of July 2026, there are 10,546 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wakefield. 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 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.

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 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.
