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.
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful walking my dog and a friends dog. She was responsive, reliable and provided many cute pictures! I could not recommend her more and will definitely use her again for my walking needs!”
“Melissa has been great with my pup🐶! She’s patient and takes her time with my furry baby. I definitely recommend her as I keep rescheduling her to walk my pup. Thank you Melissa!!!”
“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: Hi! I’m Lindsey — lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet caretaker. Whether it’s an energetic pup who needs long walks or a shy cat who needs gentle company, I meet every pet where they’re at. I’m known for being patient, dependable, and treating every furry friend like my own. My goal is simple: keep tails wagging and pet parents worry-free! I am currently in between jobs, and able to care for your pet 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. I have an open schedule allowing for flexibility Whether I’m welcoming a pet into my home or caring for them in theirs, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and happy environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine, from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes, and give plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can meet their needs and keep stress low. My goal is for pets to feel loved, secure, and excited to see me every time

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.
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, all with different personalities, so I’m very comfortable adapting to each dog’s unique needs. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving dogs the attention and patience they need to feel safe and happy. In addition, my neighbors have trusted me to board and care for their dogs while they’re away, so I understand how important it is to provide reliable, attentive care and keep pets comfortable in a home environment. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine! I work a 9–5, but I’m remote on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, feeding, and spending quality time with your dog throughout the day. Even on my busier days, I can adjust my schedule as needed, and I’m able to work from a client’s home if that helps keep your pet comfortable. I always make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need, no matter the day. I try my best to keep their normal schedules that the pups are used to! If your dog stays with me, they’ll get plenty of attention, walks, and opportunities to get outside. I love going for walks so so we can explore the neighborhood or go to a nearby park for them to get fresh air and playtime. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I stick closely to their usual routine to keep them comfortable. If you have a fenced yard, I’m happy to spend time playing with them and using their favorite toys. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I make sure they get lots of love, exercise, and attention so they feel safe and happy.
About: I love animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’ll take care of your dog or cat as if they were my own. I’m also a pet parent myself - I have a British Shorthair cat named Bella, and she means the world to me. Because of that, I completely understand how important it is to feel confident and at ease when leaving your pet with someone else. I have experience walking dogs and caring for pets through Wag, where I hold a 5-star rating. I’ve been doing pet care part-time and have completed a variety of services, including home visits, cat sitting, dog sitting, and daily walks. I’ve also done longer stays (4–7 days), so I’m comfortable handling routines, feeding schedules, and giving pets plenty of companionship. Your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me - and we’ll definitely enjoy our time together. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. Since I’m not working full-time right now, I’m able to give your pets lots of attention, playtime, and consistent care. I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine and needs. I always prioritize safety. I make sure doors are closed securely, pets don’t slip outside, and dogs are always taken out on a leash. I follow your feeding instructions exactly and never give pets anything outside their normal diet. I keep their space clean, calm, and comfortable so they feel safe while you’re away.
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.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Winthrop
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.

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.

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
- 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.
