“We adopted August about 2 weeks ago and Allyson has been a wonderful friend to August making sure that he is taken care of mid-day while we’re working. Allyson goes above and beyond to make sure instructions are followed and adapts to August’s rapid growth. Thank you, Allyson!”
About: I grew up with labs and when I was in high school, my mom adopted cats. I adopted my own cats in January and November of 2023. Through my time on Rover and Wag!, I have experience with all sorts of dogs! My gallery consists of all of the animals I have cared for as well as my own pets:) I am in my last year of my full-time Master’s program and am in a part-time internship downtown MWF from 9-4 as well as working part-time three days/week downtown. I know I have a busy schedule and I understand if this doesn’t work for your pet’s needs, but know that I will give your pet/s all of my love and attention and the best care possible when I am with them:) I do my best to go off of their needs and their schedule! If a pup needs a little bit to get comfortable with me, I let them take their time before I approach them or before we do anything. First and foremost, I want everyone to feel comfortable.
About: I have 17 years experience in the veterinary service field. I am skilled at giving both oral and injectable medications on a regular basis. I am trained in fear free handling and believe in positive reinforcement training. My work schedule is generally Tuesday 6:45a-2pm, Wed and Thursday 7am-7pm, Fri 12pm-7pm and every other Saturday 8am to 1pm. If you are looking for a person with a passion for animals and the experience to back it up please reach out. I would absolutely love to be your pets new best friend! Right now I am in between jobs so my availability is very open. The only real work around will be the puppy I currently have. My care of your pets will be solely dependent on you and your family’s requests. Every family has different wants for what they are working on with their dog so I am highly flexible to help with that.
About: I have taken care of pets for as long as I can remember! I have been responsible for feeding, walking, bathing, etc. I love loving on and taking care of pups + cats. I have a pup of my own, so I am very used to the routine of walking/playing/taking care of them. She is extremely friendly and loves having friends come stay! They will be very loved and occasionally come home with a new toy. I have a yard where your pets can run around and get as much exercise as they need! Millie loves being outside so she’ll be right along with them. We go on walks frequently as long as the weather allows! All pups are always welcome to sleep right next to me and mine in bed, or in a crate if necessary!
About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals, which taught me how to read their body language and understand their needs from a young age. On top of that, I bring six years of professional dog grooming experience to my pet sitting. This means your pet isn't just getting a companion—they are staying with a professional who knows how to handle coat care, spot skin issues early, and keep anxious dogs calm and comfortable. Our daily routine starts in the morning with a quick potty break, followed by individual feedings so everyone can eat safely and at their own pace. Afterward, we head out for our morning walk or yard play while energy is high, followed by a quiet midday nap/relaxation to let food safely digest. Throughout the afternoon, your dog will get another bathroom break, a professional coat brush-out to check skin health, and some mental enrichment like puzzle toys or lick mats. As we transition into the evening, we serve dinner according to your exact instructions and burn off any remaining energy with a fun sunset play session. Finally, at night, we wind down with plenty of couch cuddles in a true home environment before a final potty break and a peaceful, secure lights-out. Every pet in my care receives individualized attention focused on their physical safety and emotional well-being. I design a calm, low-stress environment where your pet can relax, ensuring their unique routines are strictly followed to prevent anxiety. By carefully reading their body language, I respect their personal boundaries and use gentle, patient interaction to build genuine trust at their own pace. Safety is always my top priority, which means I maintain secure environments, supervise all activities, and use my professional handling skills to keep every situation controlled and peaceful. Your pet will never be rushed or forced into interaction, giving them the secure, comfortable home-away-from-home experience they deserve.
“Very happy with Aña’s care of my two dogs! They can be a handful, but both took to her immediately. She gave them several walks throughout the week and always communicated when she was heading over, and often sent a text letting me know how it went in addition to the thorough Rover cards. Upon coming home I was further reassured of the care and exercise provided by Aña’s services as the dogs did not boredom destroy anything, there were no accidents in the house, and both dogs seemed happy! Definitely planning on rebooking!”
About: As an adult, I’ve taken care of four separate dogs. I have experience taking care of senior dogs who needed multiple medications, IV antibiotics and fluids. Most recently, I have trained my current pup to reduce his anxiety with other people. I have potty trained him, leash trained him, taught him basic commands, and give him daily oral medication. I am very patient and like to ensure the dogs comfortability while learning. I currently work four days a week as a nurse, so I will have ample time on the three days that I am off work each week. I treat my pets (and yours) like family. In my role as a mother and a nurse, I take care taking very seriously, and that tends to bleed over into the rest of my life as well.
About: While I no longer have pets of my own, I am always pet sitting for my friends and have always had a very close relationship with all animals, big or small! I currently am a Lyft and Uber driver so my schedule is always flexible, making it easy to do this job whenever there is demand! All animals deserve the love that we give to any person (in my opinion!). They need to know that I'm just as much there to protect them as they are to protect me; to create a mutual bond. I give my all when taking care of your pets!
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have taken care of all different kinds of dogs. My grandfather trained police dogs so I am used to taking care of all style of dogs. I’m currently on working on the side so I have a very free schedule to offer services at all times. I’m home most of the day and I can choose my own schedule to work around providing pet care. My wife and I live in a gated community that is very dog friendly. There is a dog park in the middle of the complex. We have a very friendly corgi for your fur babies to play with. We allow dogs on the furniture and to sleep wherever they want to.
About: I have been obsessed with dogs since I was little. Always wanting to have one, pet one, and just interact with one. I currently have a GSD, who is a handful, that I love dearly. I’m currently working 12 hour shifts with a rotating schedule. My available days change every week, but I know my schedule very far out in advance. I am very mindful of doors being closed all the way before and after taking your furry baby for a walk. Will provide them with water and treats before and after. I can also put them back into their crate before leaving if required.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been around both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having someone keep them company, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of affection, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members and provide them with the loving care they deserve! I am currently a stay at home (soon to be) mom so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for drop in visits 3 times a day. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them happy, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routine. During each drop-in visit, I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, playtime, and lots of affection. I’m happy to take them on walks to help them get the exercise and enrichment they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will provide updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away.
About: I grew up around a lot of big dogs so I think i have a better time reading the dog and knowing what it needs and when. I am currently self employed so i can fit in my walks into my schedule how I like. That way if you need to change the time i can be very flexible. You can ensure my attention will be on your pet 100% of the time when you book with me and will get lots of play time.
About: I have taken care of animals all my life, from cats to dogs. I have helped take care of my dogs at home by feeding them, bathing them, cleaning up after them, and administering their medicine. I am a graduate student here and hope to help out on weekends. My schedule can be busy, but I am willing to work around my schedule to best suit you and your pet! I would ensure that it is a safe environment, where dangers such as glass shattering or heavy objects are moved to safe places. I also want to ensure they feel comfortable, so taking the time for the animal to get to know me is important.

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 West Newton. 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.

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.
