About: I’ve cared for dogs with a range of personalities and energy levels, from playful puppies who need lots of exercise to older dogs who prefer slower walks and plenty of attention. I make sure each pet’s feeding, walking, and play routine is followed closely and keep owners updated with photos throughout their pet’s care. Punctual, gentle, patient, and dependable. Typically will be able to spend at least 30 minutes with your pet for a drop in visit and more if they need to be walked, or watched for longer. Flexible with timing. I’m currently in grad school and have a flexible schedule to provide care for your pet, whether it’s a drop in visit or a walk. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other specific needs. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and make sure doors, gates and other areas are secure to prevent accidents or escapes. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.
“This was my second time booking with Camila And she’s great. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with her, it is clear that she cares about all the dogs she walks. I will definitely always reuse Camila”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I treat every pup like they’re part of my own family. Over the years, I’ve built a reputation for being patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in each dog’s comfort and happiness. Whether it’s a high‑energy puppy who needs structure or a senior dog who needs gentle support, I adapt my care to match exactly what your pet needs. I primarily work from home so I’ll have lots of time with your pup! I follow feeding and walking schedules as instructed. Mainly walks in the morning, afternoon, and at night. I have a large fenced in yard and a neighborhood that is great for walks. The home is also spacious to give your pup lots of room to eat, sleep, and play!
“Kathryn has been our dog walker for a few weeks and I am so happy with her! She is great with Jax, he looks forward to his weekly walks with her. She is very communicative, always on time, affectionate with him and it is clear that she has a true love for pets. She also includes detailed notes at the end of every walk with multiple pictures. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve spent years volunteering in different countries socializing, walking, and caring for all different breeds and sizes of dogs. I have genuine love and affection for every dog and their personalities and want them to get plenty of exercise and care to keep them happy and healthy. I”m currently working part time on weekends, so I will have plenty of time most weekdays for regular scheduling. I can commit to a regular routine as needed. I will happily create a positive space and relationship with any dog and make them feel genuine compassion and trust. I have plenty of space in my UV for safe transport if needed.
About: I have raised my two cats Ginger and Marble since they were a few weeks old, and they are 8 now. While I’m away at school (Babson College in Wellesley), I miss my cats and would love to take care of your pets. I often take care of my cousins’ dogs, and my girlfriend’s dogs as well. I schedule my life around the needs of your pets. My classes are from Monday - Thursday in the afternoon, so I can walk pets in the morning or evening every day. Walking is one of my favorite pastimes so I can spend a lot of time outdoors with your pets if they like that. I feed my cats a variety of cat foods and real natural foods, and will care for yours however you prefer. Also, I refill the water for pets often so they have fresh water, and my cats like to drink straight from the sink. Also, I am very tidy, and will make sure your house stays very clean.

About: Hi! I am a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for pets- my own, as well as those of friends and family.

That's why I believe it's so important to have someone you trust, that will care for your pets with the same love & attention that you would. I'm here to be that person . I work from home so this gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care- whether it is walks, feedings, or check-ins. I'm able to adapt to their needs. I do have a fenced in yard; but I like to create a calm, safe space for my animals and I have a routine to ensure consistency. And not to mention, that they get lots of love and attention!

About: Hi there! My husband and I are both new to Rover due to the most recent job change. We are proud dog parents to two well-trained pups, aged 4 and 5. We’ve raised them since they were just 2 months old, and they’ve grown into playful, gentle companions. Our love for dogs runs deep, and we’d be thrilled to welcome your furry friend into our home. As a courtesy, we offer a gentle shower at the end of each boarding to keep your pup fresh and happy. I am currently working from home and I have time to play with them all day in the backyard. Training can be provided upon request I have a fenced backyard and two friendly dogs to have your fur baby company. We also share your baby’s daily activities via videos and photos.
“Diana was great. She came to meet my dog and see the set up in my home. I then booked her for a dog walk during a busy work-from-home day. My dog was super happy to see Diana when she arrived and was happy and relaxed when she came back. I'll definitely be rebooking!”
About: Hello! I'm a compassionate animal lover who enjoys caring for all types of animals. Growing up in a multi-animal household, I've been taking care of pets (mainly cats) for as long as I can remember. I've always enjoyed babysitting and walking others' dogs and I've gained experience over the last decade by continuously sitting and walking for dogs through wag and rover. As a babysitter and camp counselor with 10+ years experience, more often than not families would have dogs to care for as well. I am extremely responsible, friendly, caring, and very patient. My number 1 priority is SAFETY and will make sure your pup is well-cared for and safe on his walk and in the home. I'm currently available for most hours and any day during the week and weekend. I do not walk super late at night though after 9-10pm, unless it is a quick pee drop in visit. When visiting, would take your friendly dog out for a walk first to go to bathroom and get in some exercise. Depending on time if a drop by visit will also feed, brush, and hang out with pup so they get some extra love and attention before I head out. Please leave any notes for me regarding their feeding time and food measurements. Always leave with a fresh bowl of water for them as well. I have sat for a few dogs who loved yard games, if fenced in - like frisbee, tug o war, fetch etc.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Westwood is $24
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
Diana was absolutely amazing, and we truly can’t thank her enough! She took such wonderful care of my parents’ 14-year-old Morkie while they were away. When their return flight was unexpectedly cancelled due to a blizzard, we were in a real bind — but Diana stepped up without hesitation and extended her stay for an additional three days. Her flexibility and calm, can-do attitude made a very stressful situation so much easier for all of us. Not only did she make sure our sweet senior pup was comfortable, loved, and well cared for, but she also went above and beyond by helping us shovel snow during the storm. That level of kindness and initiative is rare. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog — and even our home — were in such capable and caring hands. I would highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and truly exceptional!
Karen was absolutely wonderful. She was very friendly, always showed up on time, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. She stayed in constant communication with both my wife and me, which gave us real peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — 10/10 would absolutely recommend Karen to anyone looking for reliable and attentive care.
Mia is absolutely amazing! My dogs adore her and get so excited every time she comes over. She has such a calm and loving energy that instantly puts them at ease. She is incredibly reliable, kind, and trustworthy, qualities that are so important when it comes to caring for our kids. She also house sat for us while we were away, and everything went perfectly. The house was spotless, and our pups were happy and well taken care of. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We will definitely be hiring Mia again and recommending her to all our friends. She truly goes above and beyond.
Kelliann walks our two pups together (a husky and a cockadoodle). From the get go she was very easy to communicate with and she is very punctual which is a lifesaver when things get hectic. Our dogs enjoy her company and she has been very helpful with them. Highly recommend!

The average cost for Dog Walking in Westwood on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 Westwood. 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 Westwood.

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 Westwood. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
