About: I'd love to welcome your dog into our family (with 2 kids, ages 9 and 12) for daytime visits or overnight stays. I am working primarily from home, my calm Beagle-Mini Pin mix Sarah—affectionately called "the meagle"—enjoys having canine companions! With a lifetime of dog ownership experience, I'll ensure your pet receives expert care and plenty of entertainment, including regular walks in our nearby park. Whether you need daytime hosting, walking services, or overnight care, I'm happy to help. I am working primarily from my home office, so I will be available to walk, play with, and keep your dog company throughout the day. I provide at least three daily walks on a nearby walking path, plus additional indoor and supervised backyard play time (on leash, as our yard is unfenced).
“Carol is very knowledgeable about dogs and has much experience taking care of them. She seems very comfortable with my large excitable Aurora. They had a good walk around the neighborhood and I plan to ask Carol for help again!”
“Traci is truly amazing and takes such wonderful care of Sandy while we're away. We can always count on Traci -- including during a major snowstorm (20+ inches)! Sandy absolutely loves her, and we know Sandy is in great hands with Traci.”

“Susie was great with Dobby! She did a meet and greet with us prior to the walk. She was punctual, followed care instructions, took pictures and even squeezed a brushing session in for my dog. Will definitely rebook and refer. Thank you Susie”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I’ve had both small and large dogs, my last two being very well trained Rottweilers. I would love to have another dog, but I now have grandchildren that I care for and don’t have the time I would need for a full time pet. I’m hoping to get my fix caring for your dog(s) part time. I have had experience with training my dogs and I understand a dog’s need for companionship, love, attention and good exercise. Overnights, I’m available so stay over and care for your pet on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights. I do run some errands on the weekends and do some food shopping, but I’d be available to make sure your dog is fed, exercised and taken out to the bathroom throughout the day, and to spend time keeping them company. I would care for your pets the same way I’ve cared for mine. Feeding, walking, playing, attention and affection and keeping them safe. I understand that they miss their families when they are away, so I would like to establish some familiarity with your pet so they look forward to my filling in.
About: I worked with LastHopeK9 in fostering and taking care of dogs. I've pet sitted and walked dogs around my neighborhood many times. I've had my own dog who I trained for around 9 years. I'm an animal lover who cares about a dog's well-being and pays attention to their needs. I currently have a part-time internship, so I have plenty of time during the week! Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays I am available all day, as well as most weekends. I would make it a priority on those days to fulfill my duties. I am always respectful and diligent of what the client indicates me to do in their house and with their pet. I respect the owners rules and make sure to follow a routine for their pet, as well as communicate with the client about how it's going.
About: I am a registered nurse with a lifelong love of animals. I have always had pets since I was a little girl. I worked at an animal hospital throughout high school and college, I gained a lot of pet care experience there. I also worked on a farm growing up where I took care of horses, cats and dogs! I know how important it is to trust someone with your animals, as I have 2 kitties I care for very much! I am confident in handling all types of pet personalities and needs. I currently work 3 days per week not on a set schedule. I have 4 days off per week which is why I would love to do dog walking/sitting on those off days! I live in a dog friendly neighborhood in Watertown, MA. I love to walk around Fresh Pond, I also live near several dog parks! I can’t wait to meet your pup :)
“Devika is fantastic! She is reliable and communicative and clearly loves dogs. Rishi was comfortable with her right away. She sent us photos and an update so we knew all was well. Definitely recommend.”
“Nicholas has walked my dog, Bebe, a few times, and he’s been great every time! He always accommodated my last minute requests, which I really appreciated. He’s also very thoughtful, for example, he towel dried Bebe after walking her in the rain. Bebe seems to really like him, and I’ll definitely be using him again in the future!”

If that cat just wants to chill, that works for me!
“Laura has been excellent with Buddy! I can tell he looks forward to his adventures with her. Every walk I get photos of Buddy living his best life exploring his favorite spots with Laura. Laura’s communication is great and she’s been a reliable walker for the last few months. Thanks Laura!”
About: I’ve grown up with three dogs and have always loved caring for them as part of the family. I have experience with dog walking and drop in visits with my sisters dogs as well as friends. It's important to me that our pets receive the proper attention, exercise, and patient care they need. I’m patient, reliable, and enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship while you’re away, I treat every dog with the same care and kindness I would give my own. I work a second shift engineering job (2pm-10:30pm) during the weekdays so I’m available to drop in or walk dogs before I leave for work (before 1pm). Weekdays: 9:00am - 1:00pm Weekends: Anytime Ideally I’d walk or run to your home and for dog walking, I'd typically do 15-45 minute walks depending on your pet’s needs but I am flexible upon request. Weekends are usually free for me as well. I love being active and outside and am always running, walking or swimming so this is the perfect way for me to get a companion to join me on a walk or for some fresh air :) I’m great at following any instructions given so your pets will be in great hands! I grew up with dogs and can’t wait to get my own again some day- but my personal experience with animals will certainly help me take care of your pets.
About: I am an absolute dog-lover and will provide your pup with the care and affection they need. I am open to pet sitting, dog walking, or quick pop-ins.

I work from home and am available for walks most days of the week, with flexible timing. I can dog sit week days and weekends with proper notice. I prefer to stay in my clients homes where the dog is most comfortable, offering a gentle transition to your absence! I do offer stays at my home, however the dog must be house trained but I have great walking areas around me and a small backyard.
About: As much as I love playing with puppies I have a fondness for senior dogs. I have spent more time caring for senior dogs and enjoy being around them. I worked nights and was always available for vet appointments. My dog Nicholas went to aquatherapy often and my Pug did acupuncture. I have cared for dogs needing meds, diaper changes, extra lifts, & short walks that required a long time. I often had dogs that needed fresh or homemade food and lots of treats & love. Being retired I am often home working on projects. I also am fortunate to have friends all over the country. I go to their homes and care for their pets while they vacation. I currently have no pets. I live 50ft to the paths along the Charles River. It is a great place to walk dogs. We come upon small wildlife, other dogs and lots of joggers. Some dogs still get excited need some training and treats. I have spent hours out there sitting with pets.

Susie saved us for last minute walks with my partner’s broken leg and me out of town for work. She was so patient to meet tulip, who’s been protective of the home with partner injury barking at strangers entering our home. She knelt down and calmly waited for tulip to settle and then did some tricks/commands before taking her out to walk to develop trust in tulip. Thanks !
Kaylor is a fabulous dog walker! He walked my dog Margot 3x per week for the past year, and he is dependable, always coming within the time block we requested; he is an excellent communicator, always letting me know if something came up last minute that would change the schedule. He was great with Margot's occasional stubbornness, as well as with the snow, heat, and rain. Highly recommend!!
Helena was wonderful with my older pooch. She sat with him and took him on a walk in the neighborhood to his favorite place, the mechanic's, where they gave him his usual cookie. Then she figured out a new game to keep him happy in the backyard: She would hide little pieces of kibble and let him sniff them out. I was 100% delighted with Helena's dog care, and will look forward to hiring her again soon!
Nicholas has walked my dog, Bebe, a few times, and he’s been great every time! He always accommodated my last minute requests, which I really appreciated. He’s also very thoughtful, for example, he towel dried Bebe after walking her in the rain. Bebe seems to really like him, and I’ll definitely be using him again in the future!
Hannah was wonderful to work with. I have on very social dog and one that is very anxious. She did a great job working with both dogs and their individual needs. Hannah is responsive, communicative, and responsible. She sent numerous photos and updates, and wasn’t afraid to ask questions in the moment. I will definitely book with her again.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Waverley on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of August 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 Waverley. 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 Waverley.

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 Waverley. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
