About: I have experience caring for dogs in shelter, daycare, and boarding environments. I've trained and fostered many shelter dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I'm a college student and love spending any time with dogs! I'm a student with availability in the afternoons and evenings. My schedule is fairly flexible on weekdays, and I have set times on weekends available. I make sure to follow each dog's routine and treat every dog as an individual. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first. I enjoy sending updates and photos.
“Devon has been walking Millie for several weeks and she is always happy to see her! We love Devon’s Rover Card notes about their time together - nice, personal touch.”
“Austin had been a spectacular help. They walk our pug, Theo! His communication is great and he’s very friendly. As well Theo loves him :) We are very grateful for Austin and their services!”
“Kylie is great! She’s responsive, punctual, dependable and very personable. Most importantly, Samara loves her! I highly recommend Kylie and will be requesting her for additional walks.”
“Sally was absolutely wonderful! We had just moved to the area and our dog was still adjusting to the move. I was worried about finding someone to look in and walk our dog while I was on vacation (and my husband is gone most the day) until I found Sally. Sally met our dog before caring for him and he immediately felt comfortable around her and wanted her to play. Sally is friendly, reliable and a great communicator. She sent regular updates with pictures and took excellent care of our dog. I had an enjoyable vacation knowing our dog was happy and in great hands. I will definitely use Sally again and I highly recommend her!”
“WE FREAKIN LOVE TRICIA!!!!!! She’s a dog-whisperer and an absolute angel of a human being!!!! Tricia goes above and beyond caring for my quirky dog every single time. She’s amazing with him, meets him where he’s at and gives him loads of love and attention. She’a super respectful of my home and often does extra things like pick up my mail, refill all the doggy water bowls. She’s just incredible and your dog will the luckiest boy/girl to have her spend time with them!!!”
About: Hi! I am excited to meet your pets! I have had animals my whole life and have a special loving bond with all animals! I have done pet sitting and work in shelters for a number of years. Pet care is my daily responsibilities with my own pets at home. I volunteer at shelters but would love to make your pets part of my day! I am very knowledgeable about animal behavior and animal needs. I understand the importance of understanding each animal and their needs! I approach each animal slowly and calmly to help comfort them as we get to know each other.
“Theresa was great with Finn! She was very responsive in coordinating the meet and greet and the walk, and Finn warmed up to her right away! Looking forward to scheduling more walks :)”
“Scout had a great first week with Aaron - she seemed happy with the walks and very comfortable with him. From the human side, he's a good and responsive communicator, and responsible around scheduling and closing up the house. He clearly loves dogs and has a good way with them. Thumbs up!”
About: I've been doing pet care since I was 8 and have lots of experience with animals of all ages and personalities. Typical animal care from me looks like refilling food and water, walks, cleaning litter boxes, and finding creative ways to keep your animals thoroughly entertained. This summer I'm taking online college classes so my schedule is super flexible. The only set times I'll be busy doing virtual classes are from 11:00-4:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Please let me know what times work for you. I will always make sure to keep your dogs on leashes when not in fenced in areas to ensure your pup's safety is accounted for.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs from young pups through dogs in their final years, as well as cats of various ages. I grew up with 1-2 dogs in our household at all times, several bunnies for which I was the primary caregiver as a kid and teenager, and frequent interactions with my friends’ cats. I am a responsible oldest daughter and love meeting and caring for animals!! I work in an elementary school, so once the school year starts I will be busy from approximately 7am to 4pm each week day. I have a lot of availability on weekends and more daytime availability during the summer and school breaks. I always follow the pet parents’ instructions closely because they know their pets best. I treat all pets with care and love. In particular, with dogs, I enjoy taking them on long walks if they are up for it. While pet sitting, I make sure to spend time with the pets while I am not at work (not coming back simply for their care routine).
About: I’ve been taking care of pets, specifically dogs and cats, for as long as I can remember. I grew up having about 4-6 pets at a time, so I’m used to making sure each and every pet is loved and cared for to the fullest! I've taken care of dogs that are just puppies and need lots of attention as well as senior dogs that need lots of medication. I also have experience taking care of birds, guinea pigs, and bearded dragons. Whatever your animals need, I'll make sure they are well cared for! Copy and paste the link to get $40 off your first booking! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability. I'm available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, Monday and Tuesday evenings, and Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. I'm also open to boarding for extended stays, including a week or longer, and can provide consistent care throughout their stay. I'm happy to follow each pet's usual routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while you're away! I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while they’re with me! I’ll make sure to stick to their normal routine, give them lots of attention and playtime, and of course, plenty of love and cuddles. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pet has, and I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know they’re doing well. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is being well taken care of while you’re away!
“Kendra was absolutely wonderful! She is friendly, very professional, and clearly amazing with our dog. From the start, she was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with, which made the whole experience stress-free. It was obvious how comfortable and well cared for our dog was with her. We will definitely be using Kendra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
“Michelle was great when she came to walk our dog! Our dog can sometimes be anxious around strangers, but she warmed right up to Michelle and was so excited to see her when she arrived. Michelle followed all instructions and our pup was so tired after her walk. Would definitely recommend Michelle as a very reliable dog walker!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Wellesley is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 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 11,450 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wellesley. 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 Wellesley. 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 Wellesley 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 Wellesley. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
