“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!”
“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!”
“Courtney is great! She was professional, helpful, and communicative. She handled my one year old 55-pound dog well. I would be happy to recommend her and hire her again!”
“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!”
“Sanela was wonderful. Came last minute and was very nice, friendly and most importantly, my dog loved her. Will definitely use again. This was my very first Rover experience and I was bit nervous, but it went better than I could have expected thanks to Sanela.”

About: I've been taking care of all types of pets for 15 years and give them all the love and comfort they can handle.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have cared for animals my whole life. In Ukraine I volunteered at an animal rescue and fostered pets, including birds, and once even looked after a bat through his winter hibernation. My own cat now lives with my parents, and I miss having a pet in the house — spending time with your animals would be a real pleasure for me. I worked in healthcare, so I'm comfortable giving oral and injectable medications and caring for senior or post-surgical pets. I'm calm and patient with nervous animals, reliable about schedules, and I'll send you photos and updates so you know your pet is doing well. I have a car and can travel to nearby towns. Happy to meet beforehand so you and your pet can get to know me. I'm currently studying for my medical board exams from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I'm available throughout the day, including mornings, midday visits, evenings, and weekends. I don't have pets or children of my own, so I can give your pet my full attention. I have a car and can travel to nearby towns. Advance bookings are easiest for me, but I can often accommodate last-minute requests. I care for pets in their own home, where they're most comfortable and can keep their normal routine. At our meet-and-greet I'll go over your instructions in detail: feeding amounts and times, medications, walking route, favorite toys, house rules, and what to do in an emergency, including your vet's contact information. I follow your instructions exactly rather than my own preferences. Dogs stay leashed outdoors unless you tell me otherwise, and I check doors, gates, and windows before leaving. Beyond food and clean water, I make sure each pet gets real attention — play, walks, brushing, or just quiet company, depending on what your pet enjoys. I send photos and updates after every visit, and I'll let you know right away if anything seems off, like changes in appetite, energy, or bathroom habits. I'm also happy to bring in mail, take out trash, or water plants while you're away.

We “live” in our home but would require the dog be house trained (unless. Puppy).
“Catherine has been great with our 2 black labs the last couple of months. They get excited every time she comes to the door, because they know they're going for a nice walk. We are scheduled for 3 walks a week but with the holidays, snow days,and work from home days the schedule has fluctuated drastically. Catherine has been very accommodating. I highly recommend her services.”
“Lisa was great with my dog, Milo! She truly cared for Milo and was very diligent in following any of my requests. I would definitely recommend Lisa for any pet care needs. She’s dependable, thoughtful, and my dog really enjoyed his time with her 😊”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wakefield
Rosemary was super patient and understanding with my dog Toby. The first time she came over to walk him, he was reluctant to walk, but Rosemary sat with him and was able to eventually get him to walk. I appreciated Rosemary's persistence and care for my baby dog. I would definitely trust the care of my dog with Rosemary again!
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!

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.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
