“How do I even begin. James came into our world when our rescue senior needed walks throughout the day. For 5 months he made her feel loved and safe everyday. I would trust James with anyone and any pet. Besides his overwhelmingly empathetic presence, James is also reliable, prompt, and an amazing communicator. No matter the day, time, weather, etc, we knew we could always count on James. I truly could not recommend him enough”
“Shawn is wonderful with our girl Apple! She is so kind, patient, and very trustworthy - we all immediately liked her and are so grateful that she can help us with our pup 😊”
“Took amazing care of my babies and kept me updated throughout their walk. She was very friendly and my anxious Chihuahuas immediately loved her energy and were pulling to greet her. All around would recommend Sanela!”
“Lisa has been a dog walking life saver. She consistently arrives on time, is an excellent communicator, and my shy pups clearly adore her. Sadly, this has not been the case with all of my Rover dog walkers. I could not recommend her more!”
“Angela is great with our pup! She has great communication and our pup is always so happy to see her. Angela always lets us know what’s going on and wants to know how we are training so everything is consistent.”
“Hannah is definitely the best walker I have ever met. She is so responsive and sweet, always having a safe and happy walking journey with my doggy. I will always go back to her.”
“Victoria was great, she was easy to communicate with and very accommodating for my bernese, she came right to where we were staying for a meet and greet to keep her calm.”
“Jacqueline is awesome! So patient with my crazy, energetic pup. Piper absolutely loves when Jacqueline comes for her walks and waits for her to return when she leaves!”
“Kenn did a great job with Olive! She gets a little hesitant at first with new people, but Kenn handled her with calm and ease despite the sweltering heat. Thank you!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep compassion, patience, and experience with dogs who need extra attention—especially those with anxiety or special routines. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, and pets who struggle with separation anxiety. My own dog, Sasha, has anxiety, so I understand the importance of gentle care, consistency, and emotional support. I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. Whether your pup needs long walks, slow introductions, or just a cozy lap to nap on—I’ve got you covered! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have Mondays and Tuesdays off, which gives me plenty of time for daytime walks and drop-ins. On other days, I’m able to fit in visits between school and work—and I don’t mind doing late-night drop-ins if your pet needs evening attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I’m happy to make it a priority in my schedule. I’m dependable, flexible, and always focused on making pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I only offer pet care in the client’s home because I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to provide reliable, stress-free care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind.
“Noila was very prompt and walked Miles without any issues. She had a last minute adjustment close to the time and had to modify the booking, but she was very apologetic and professional about it. We would definitely use Noila’s services again.”
“Katiana was excellent, after she visits for dog care everything is exactly how it was left and the dog seemed great after I returned home. Katiana sent schedule updates and photos and summaries of her visits which was also appreciated”
“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!”
About: I have been around animals all my life. Grew up in the rural Midwest surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, turtles, in addition to the cows, pigs, chickens, and horses at nearby farms. I love animals and have helped care for them all my life. I am comfortable with all kinds and sizes of dogs and love getting them out on walks/hikes and playing with them, snuggling with them indoors as well. I adore dogs and remain calm, letting them get used to me before trying to engage...letting them set the stage or lead the way. Once I get to know them I am very affectionate with them and love to play and run around with them. I currently live in my own place with my cat and would love to care for your pets in your home. I'm currently between jobs and thought I would get back to pet sitting/walking for now. I love hanging with my furry friends and getting out for brisk walks! I will spend time getting to know your pet, snuggling with them(if they want), getting them outdoors and playing with them, keeping them on their feeding schedule and caring for them like they're my own.
“Awesome first walk today. My pup is a little timid and not used to having strangers in her space. Rebecca was incredibly patient with Penny and really focused on creating a bond with her which is so so important. By the end of the visit Penny was eating treats out of her hand, licking her face, and welcomed Rebecca’s cuddles. I couldn’t believe she was able to win Penny over so quickly. Couldn’t be happier!”
About: I’ve been caring for my in-laws’ Tibetan Terrier for the past few years, and along the way I completely fell in love with pet care. Spending time with Cooper has taught me how special the bond between pets and their people can be, and I truly enjoy giving animals the love, attention, and care they deserve. I can’t wait to welcome and care for more pets as if they were my own! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. Because I’m home most of the time, I can easily adapt to each pet’s schedule and needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, cared for, and never alone. I care for pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home or a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, and I keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Since I work from home, I’m able to be very attentive and responsive to their needs throughout the day.

Jade went above and beyond with our dog, Brody. He does require a bit of extra care and Jade took it on without skipping a beat, making us feel that it was no issue at all and additionally watering our plants on top of everything. She was able to alleviate so much stress from my week by treating Brody with such attentiveness, being punctual and being an absolutely exceptional communicator. I cannot wait to work with her again.
Yesika has been the greatest dog walker! She is responsive and communicative and kind. When I dropped Achilles off for an overnight stay, he was sooooo excited to see her. I already had no doubts that she was a good sitter, and that confirmed it for me and made me feel even better about having her care for my boy!
Anneliese was great with Baxter! Very communicative and friendly. She was available without much notice which was super appreciated. You can tell she has a lot of experience with dogs with different energy levels. Would definitely reach out to her for more help in the future.
Omar was great with our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks during the walks before his sitting stay. He was prompt, professional, and eager to get to know them, which gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind. The dogs responded really well to him, and it was clear he was comfortable, attentive, and trustworthy. We really appreciated him making time on short notice and helping us feel secure before leaving them in his care. Highly recommend!

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 Winchester. 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 Winchester.

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 Winchester. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
