“Our dog is a handful and Gabriela has done such an amazing job with him. She is incredibly patient and goes over the top to make sure Bruno is able to get all of his energy (and he has a LOT of it) out during their mid-day walks. She has even stayed over their allotted time if he needs a little extra time to get settled back in after their walk, giving him lots of water and treats to hold him over until we get home. So happy we found Gabriela!”
“Ann was super flexible and responded right away. She took my boy out for an evening walk and sent pics when she was out. It was just the help I needed after having surgery on my foot so I am so grateful to her! Will use her again for sure!”
About: I’ve had 8 dogs throughout my life and can take care of all dogs from puppies to senior dogs. Neighbors, family, and friends have trusted me to take care of their dogs, cats, and even bunnies. I’m currently a collegiate athlete at Clark University, but will try my best to make time for your pups. Sundays are my main days able to provide services I know special tricks to get dogs to eat medicine if they need it as I’ve had many pups in need of medicine. I care for pets with lots of pets, a structured schedule, and exercise.
“Paul currently cares for our giant schnauzer who is 9 months old, before her he cared for our beloved elderly French Bulldog with walks and overnight stays. After our frenchie passed away he made a video complication of pictures when he took care of him. Paul is always consistent, timely, and thoughtful. He always sends pictures and spoils our pets. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to care for their animals.”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs since I was a child. My family dog was part of my life from when I was young until she passed away at 16 years old, so I understand how important pets are to a family. I have experience feeding, walking, and playing with dogs, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also have three pets of my own, but they are currently living with my family while I am living in Massachusetts. I work part-time and have flexible availability for dog walking and pet care. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, and routines. I am patient and attentive and always treat pets with kindness and respect in their home.
“Louca worked wonders for us and our super reactive miniature dachshund. His patience, knowledge, and professional and positive attitude were a huge relief after searching for and failing to find someone to look after our dog when we were away for short periods. Louca has given us so much hope for our little puppy’s future and we look forward to working with him again! Thank you Louca !!”
“John, has come in clutch a number of times when we’ve had last minute plans (which is often for my family). He provides great updates and images that allow us to see how well he’s taking care of Marley!”
“Best experience I’ve had on this app so far. So accommodating, and helped us out when we really needed them. Takes pictures, asks questions, and they make the process comfortable and easy. Would highly recommend to anyone!!!”
“Logan does a great job taking care of our pets, he is extremely reliable, responsive and his communication is clear. He is also very patient and shows a real connection with our dog and our cat. Fully recommended.”
About: From social to skiddish, cuddly to aggressive, I really have a soft spot for any kitty I’ve gotten to know and taking care of them is second nature to me. Most recently, I’ve lived with a very sweet and very spicy cat Sasha, so patience has been key! For the past few years, I have taken care of an incredible golden retriever named Frieda in Southern Vermont. She is nearly 13— we go on twice-daily walks, I brush and trim her long fur, and I make sure she's comfortable around her two kitty relatives in the house. I will be happy to provide this care for your dogs as well, meeting them where they are at in terms of walking, socializing, and other kinds of care I can provide. I am new to Worcester and beginning a graduate school program at MCPHS. I have both remote and in-person classes, but will have ample time everyday to make room for cat care! I am extremely patient when it comes to pet care and I know that it may take time for your pets to warm up to me. I have a warm and gentle presence that will make your kitties and pups and other pets feel safe and comfortable. Much of my pet-sitting in past years has included house-sitting as well, so rest assured that your home is in good hands.
“I have booked Julia for countless walks because she takes excellent care of my puppy, ZuZu! She has always gone the extra mile to communicate with me and give ZuZu all the exercise and attention she needs. Zuzu is a very energetic dog and can be challenging to walk at times, but Julia has always been on top of doing what works best for her to get her energy out! She always sends plenty of pictures and makes sure ZuZu has what she needs before she leaves. She is awesome with having a flexible schedule and responding super quick to my last minute requests and schedule changes. I will absolutely keep using her to care for my girl!”
“Ben has been taking excellent care of my puppy Dexter. He is only 9 weeks old and has a crazy amount of energy. He has been going in 2 times a day which is a lot! He always quickly responds when I reach out to him. I love the pics he sends because Dexter looks super happy. Thank you Ben!”
About: I've been around cats my entire life and currently share my home with two cats, Oscar Wilde and Dorian Gray. Growing up, cats were always part of the family. One of my most memorable experiences was helping care for a mother cat and her seven kittens after we rescued them from my grandmother's farm. Since then, I've cared for many cats with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and needs. In addition to caring for cats, I've looked after dogs for friends and family, ranging from small Yorkiepoos to large German Shepherds. My experience includes walking dogs, providing daily care, staying in owners' homes for extended periods, and taking dogs on hikes and outdoor adventures to keep them active and engaged. I believe pets thrive with a balance of affection, play, consistency, and structure. Every pet has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one special while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am currently finishing my degree and preparing to start my professional career, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Outside of school, I help care for my nephews once a week and play volleyball a few times each week. Because my schedule is flexible, I can often accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including multiple drop-in visits throughout the day. I understand how important consistency and attention are for pets, and I'm happy to work with each client's schedule to ensure their pets receive the care, companionship, and routine they're used to while their owners are away. While I am unable to host pets in my home due to HOA restrictions, I am happy to care for pets in their own home where they can remain comfortable in a familiar environment. When house sitting, I make it a priority to follow each pet's established routine, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, playtime, and any household rules. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I also provide updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are being well cared for. In addition to pet care, I am happy to help with basic house-sitting tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, taking out trash, and helping maintain the home while you're away.
“Pat came and walked Leia again on Saturday and Leia was happy to see her. Leia was a little anxious as she had been recovering from dental surgery and had been more restricted for a couple of weeks, but Pat was able to build Leia's confidence and convince her to go further when Leia was initially reluctant. Pat is very good and patient with Leia's little quirks and helped her go further and enjoy the opportunity to go further beyond our yard. Leia was calmer and content with her walk.”

Rebecka has been the best with our little Pug. He is very high energy and she is patient with him and loves on him. She communicates throughly with us about his walks and sends us so many photos! She works with our schedule (along with hers) to ensure she is able to take care of Chip. We are so happy to find someone we trust to take care of our little guy!
Spencer was great with my last-minute need for a walker and was very responsive and accommodating to my specific needs that day. I really appreciated the notes in the Rover card about his walk, behaviors, and bathroom schedule to make my evening easier when I got home. Thank you so much for walking Zero!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Worcester on Rover is $19.26 per walk (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 5,363 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Worcester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Worcester. 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 Worcester.

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 Worcester. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
