“Xianxin was great! Our dog is a special needs dog who requires a strict medicine regimen and attentive care due to his age and medical condition. Xianxin took great care of him, communicated well, and was timely! We would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have been around dogs all my life and am confident in my ability to care for any size of dog. I am a dog mom of an energetic 3 year old black lab who loves her walks. My career allows me to be available during the day to provide any service that might be needed. I could do multiple times a day or just once. I treat any pet as if they are my own. I will make sure to complete the task ensuring the safety and happiness of your pet as well as respecting your home and boundaries.
About: I love all types of dogs! I have been around dogs my whole life! My family and I rescued my pit bull mix From the animal shelter and named him Tucker 3 years ago. He is such a great dog. I love running around with him in my backyard and taking care of him! I also used to watch my aunts dogs for her all the time throughout my life! I used to go to her house and let them out after school. I also used to dog sit for her when she went on vacation. A lot of my friends and family have dogs that I am around all the time as well! I have been around all sizes of dogs such as terriers, labs, pit bulls, golden doodles, shih tzu’s and many more! I am currently working full-time so I am available after 3pm but with the summer coming up I am working part-time so I will be available in the early mornings and late afternoons. I have a dog of my own who I have taken care of for 5 years now. I will provide your dog with a long walk and the proper care and love they need.
“Alexandra did an excellent job with Brewer! She was communicative and shared all about Brew’s walk. She is kind, respectful and reliable. I felt very at ease with Alexandra taking care of my baby!”
“Excellent! Rob was really great with my dog ! He definitely cares for others dogs like if it was his own. Highly recommend Rob for anyone seeking care for their dog. Will definitely be recommending him to other people who needs to board their dogs. I love my dog like a child and i trust Rob with him.”
“Great communication and reliable. She took lots of photos of my pup on a walk and I could tell my pup was having a great time. She even brought a package in for me! Wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and real experience caring for animals of my own. I have hands-on experience with my bunny and with my first dog, a leash-reactive beagle named Roger, which has taught me calm handling, awareness, and consistency, especially as a pre-vet student currently taking biology and chemistry. During the week, I prioritize my classes and coursework first, then make time to walk and care for Roger, a dog I regularly walk on campus. I’m also committed to my rowing schedule, which keeps me structured and reliable with my time. On weekends when I’m home, I’m available for additional walks and pet care. This routine helps me stay consistent, responsible, and dependable with animals. For dog walking, I always follow the owner’s instructions exactly and prioritize safety at all times. I double-check leashes, harnesses, and collars before every walk, avoid unsafe areas or distractions, and stay alert to my surroundings. I make sure dogs have water before and after walks and return them calmly and securely to their home. Even though I’m new to professional dog walking, I’m very dependable, attentive, and always communicate clearly with owners.
About: I have been an animal lover since I was a kid. Though I cannot afford my own dog right now, I am always looking to hang out with dogs any chance I can get! My roommate has a Bernese Mountain Dog who is the most mellow, sweetest pup ever (she is 8 months old). I assist in feeding her, walking her, playing with her, and just keeping her company as my roommates schedule is more demanding than mine. I love going for long walks, (or runs), playing fetch, and just keeping dogs company. I think I am a great candidate due to my experience with animals and my love for them. I am excited for the day that I can provide a home to my own dog!
About: I’ve been working in the pet care industry for over 8 years, with experience in both dog and cat care. I’ve spent time in grooming salons and doggy daycares, where I developed strong skills in handling pets of all temperaments and sizes. My training began at Essex Tech, where I learned how to groom dogs and gained a foundation in basic obedience training. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by many pet owners to care for their beloved animals—whether it’s grooming, feeding, walking, administering medications, or just spending quality time with them. I’m confident in my ability to care for both dogs and cats with patience, compassion, and attention to detail, and I take pride in creating a safe and loving environment for every pet I look after. I’m fully committed to giving your dog the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a fun outing to the dog park or beach, a long walk, or just a quick stroll around the block—I’ll be there to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved every step of the way. Every animal in my care receives the attention, love, and support they need—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I always strive to do what’s best for the dog, their owner, and myself, making sure everyone feels comfortable, respected, and at ease in every situation.
About: Growing up around animals and recently losing our pup, we miss having a furry friend around. I work from home and can provide all the care your pet needs. I have experience with puppy training, senior dogs, the lazy, the crazy, the small and the big, after surgery recovery, medicine administration. I have a pet loving kid. I board only one client at a time. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide several walks per day, exercise, play time, snuggles and training. We live in a one story house with a large backyard in a safe family neighborhood, that offers great walking options and is only 10 mins away from the airport. I have a pet loving child who wants to be a vet and occasionally we have some family stay with us.
“Jen is great and Freddy immediately warmed up to her. She is very accommodating and very sweet with our pup. She showed up on time and I’m happy with her dog walking services!”
About: I am an outgoing, attentive individual willing to do whatever it takes to ensure the safety of your pet. I have been taking care of and rescuing animals ever since the age of 9. I go all out for them. I believe that they are worthy of love and to be loved to do take the best care of them. I do what is necessary to make your pets are comfortable and are having a good time. Safety is key. I pay close attention to their body language so I can ensure that they are where they want to be. I make sure they are well taken care of and treated with the utmost respect. I guarantee your pet will be in the most pristine care you could ever imagine. PRICES ARE NEGOTIABLE, just ask!! My goal isn't to break the bank but to ensure your fur baby has a safe space to stay while you're away! I'm currently working to build my clientele for a potential future business with dogs so I have open availability to check in on any of your babies. Im walking distance from a fenced in park to keep your fur baby safe and get them nice and tired. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I don't have a doggo of my own so while you pup is with me they'd have my undivided attention.
About: I had a shihtzu for 12.5 years that I loved more than anything, but she died, so spending time with other people's beloved pets helps me fill that void. I absolutely love being outside as much as possible and exploring different neighborhoods in the city, so dog-walking newfound fury friends is an adventure that I thoroughly enjoy with all of my heart. I will treat your pet as if it is my own, and as if you are the one doing me a favor. I have been dog-sitting for friends since the passing of my dog and they can attest to my caring nature. I can't wait to be your pet's new best friend! I am new to the area waiting for my full-time Job to begin in the next few months, so my availability is wide open for now. I try to make them as comfortable as possible with me in their home. I cannot take any pets to care for at my apartment.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Winthrop
We had an emergency and needed a last minute walk on a Saturday afternoon. Britney replied right away and was flexible and very communicative. She was great with our pups and I felt that I could trust her. One of our dogs has been reactive on the leash lately and she was confident it wouldn’t be a problem for her. Would totally recommend and have her again!
Linzi was very communicative and friendly which we love. We needed a last minute walk, same day and she replied right away. She had great reviews and did not disappoint. There was even some accidents in the house and she was very kind to clean it up when she arrived. We would love to have her again!
Alicia is a superstar dog walker and we highly recommend her without any reservations. She meets the dogs at their level including running with our high energy labradoodle and cuddling/carrying our little Shih Tzu. They felt so much love and attention from Alicia. We appreciate you so much!
We had such a wonderful experience with Jennifer. She took amazing care of our dog and was so thoughtful and attentive the entire time. You can really tell how much she cares about the animals she works with. I especially appreciated all of the updates and pictures. they made us feel so relaxed and reassured knowing Pancakes was in such good hands. Our dog clearly loved her, and it meant so much to know she was being cared for by someone so kind and compassionate. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving care for their pet!
Great job!!! Making Penny so happy She is behaving so much better after these walks Please if it’s freezing don’t mind hanging out in house with her and throwing her toy but great job if it’s ever really cold feel free to just let her out to go bathroom then play inside or walk around inside the building Thank you!!!!!
Elizabeth was fantastic. She was great with our dog Gus. She even met up with us before the first walk for a quick meet and greet, so we could introduce her to our dog. We greatly appreciated her help on a very snowy couple of days in Boston. Will definitely be booking her again.

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 Winthrop. 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 Winthrop.

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 Winthrop. 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.
