“Abby is very responsible and kept our two pups safe on their 2 day walks with her while my husband and I were not at home and working . She is very sweet and would be great caring for any size dog. We will be using her again :-) !”

About: Absolute animal lover who would love to make your pet feel right at home with my boarding services or will roll around and be silly with your pet with my drop in services. Is your pet high energy? No problem! We have a fully fenced in yard for the safety of your pet. 24/7 supervision with extra love. I’ve had experience with pets of all sizes from teacup chihuahua to Great Dane and everything in between. I have experience with behavioral training as well as medical needs such as insulin reliant pets and special needs animals. Special diet? No problem Let me baby your baby! Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions. Normal drop off/pickup time is 8-6. Can make other arrangement outside of those hours for an added fee. I have a laid back home with a flexible schedule with a family that always chips in to help and loves animals just as much as I do! I have a fenced in yard for the outdoors and I keep my home pet proofed for the safety of all babies that enter my home (furry or otherwise)!

About: As dog parents with experience in fostering, we know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. We’ll take the time to learn your dog’s personality, routine, and favorite things so they feel comfortable while you’re away. We understand that every dog is different, some love playtime and long walks, while others prefer a slower pace and extra cuddles. We will follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel connected and confident that your dog is being cared for. I work a very flexible hybrid schedule, and my husband works fully remotely, so someone is always home throughout the day. Caring for our own dogs is already part of our daily routine, and we work together to provide potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. We believe walks and enrichment are important parts of keeping dogs happy and fulfilled. We make time for walks that let dogs set the pace and enjoy plenty of sniffing, along with enrichment activities tailored to their interests and energy levels. We also enjoy visiting local parks and fields for more exploring. At home, we have a tether anchored in the backyard for supervised outdoor time, and we will always follow your dog’s comfort level and preferences when/if you prefer for it to be used. Before booking, we’ll discuss your pet’s needs and usual routine to make sure our schedule and activities are a good fit. Whether your pet stays in our home or I visit them in yours, their safety and comfort are always a priority. Before booking, we’ll discuss their personality, routines, and any special needs so we can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable. For stays in our home, we’ll arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog gets along with ours and make sure everyone is a good fit. We’ll discuss feeding arrangements, supervision, and any boundaries your dog needs, including having their own space to relax. Outdoor tether time is always supervised and only offered with your approval. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and home security. We’ll also go over any triggers, escape tendencies, or other concerns so I know what to watch for. You’ll receive photos and updates, and your pet will get plenty of attention, patience, and care.
About: A long time animal lover, I have 20 plus years of experience with dogs! I specialize in senior dogs. I can administer medication and am first aid certified! I am currently looking for long term employment, so my schedule during the week is very open. I care for my father every other Saturday. I have a fenced in yard, and a big comfy dog-friendly couch to lounge on! I have all the equipment necessary, including a crate that is sized for large dogs.
About: I have had seven dogs throughout my life and currently have a friendly 7-year-old Beagle. I have also pet-sat dogs for family and friends over the years. Caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playing, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I am patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals! I currently don’t work and I am home all day so I can be with your dog most of the day and let them out frequently. I have a big fenced yard and like to walk dogs. I care for pets with the same patience, attention, and responsibility that I would want for my own. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also follow each pet’s individual routine and any specific instructions from their owner, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and other needs. In a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being and communicate with the owner regularly so they know how their pet is doing. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, comfortable, and loved while in my care.
About: Animals are too good for humankind, so they should be treated like absolute royalty. I grew up with cats and had a small but successful dog-walking and pet-sitting business in my neighborhood growing up. I am more than happy to treat your pet as if they were my own <3 I currently work full time in Lake George and I'm looking for some additional income, and what better way to do that than to care for your pets! To make sure your pet feels as comfortable as possible while you are away, I would love to learn their typical routine at home and their interests!
“I was initially nervous to get a dog walker, as I have never done so before. We did our Meet & Greet and Tim was so nice. My dog, Minnie, immediately liked him and when he came inside my cat, Nyx, came right up to him with his tail straight up in a "Hello" - which was a big surprise because Nyx doesn't normally like strangers! He was accommodating when it came to putting on Minnie's booties because of the weather. Overall, he exceeded my expectations and will happily have him as our walker again!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every animal as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience caring for pets through managing homes and vacation rentals, along with volunteering for animal shelters and farms in Wisconsin, where I worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with senior pets, shy or anxious animals, administering basic routines, and keeping pets on a consistent schedule. I’m very detail-oriented, dependable, and communicative, so pet parents always know their animals are safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and manage my own schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility and availability throughout the day. I’m able to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and companionship instead of pets being left alone for long periods. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so caring for them feels like a rewarding part of my routine rather than just a job. I also keep my schedule organized and communicate well with pet parents so they always feel informed and comfortable while they’re away. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully while giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and supervision. I also make sure the home stays clean, secure, and well cared for while owners are away. Because I work from home and manage my own schedule, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, companionship, and check-ins throughout the day instead of pets being left alone for long periods. I have experience with animals of different temperaments through volunteering with animal shelters and farms in Wisconsin, so I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, shy animals, and senior pets that may need extra patience and attention.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have had both dogs and cats throughout my life. I’ve always had a love for animals and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. While stationed in Germany, I regularly cared for the pets of military spouses and families. This gave me experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages and personalities! I also have experience caring for pets with specific needs, including dogs and cats that require medication. I’m very comfortable following detailed instructions from owners and making sure medications, routines, feeding schedules, and other care needs are handled properly. Most importantly, I know every pet is different & I always take the time to make sure they’re comfortable, while also giving them the same love, attention, and dependable care I would want for my own pets. I’m happy to work with you to schedule visits, walks, or other care based on what works best for you and your pet! I know consistency is important, so I always do my best to keep schedules as familiar and comfortable as possible while your pet is in my care. I want every pet I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like I would my own. I’m mindful about things like keeping doors secure, staying on top of feeding and medication schedules, and making sure they get plenty of attention. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates along the way so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

About: I care for each pet I take care of like it's my own! Whether your furry friend is playful or likes to be independent, I tailor my care to fit their unique personality and needs. For dogs, I provide fun, safe, and energetic walks. For cats, I ensure they get their playtime and attention in a calm, stress-free way. I'm reliable, compassionate, and committed to providing the highest level of care for your animal. I have a flexible and available schedule and will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I make sure to manage my time effectively and efficiently. I will adapt to your pet’s personal daily routine and provide them with the same level of care and attention they’d get if you were home. I can take your dog for walks, play with your cat/dog, sit with your cat, feed them if you are away on a trip, and of course scoop the litter! It is my duty to make sure they feel loved and well taken care of. My priority is always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness.
About: I’m a lifelong pet lover who grew up in a home filled with cats and dogs—I’ve always loved cuddling and caring for them. My father was a veterinarian at a pet hospital in Korea, where I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals for nearly 10 years. This included administering medications and caring for pets with special needs. I also have experience volunteering at a pet shelter and working with a rescue team as part of my pre-med activities. Currently working in the medical field, I bring both compassion and practical care skills to every animal I look after. I’m available at home all day on weekends and can provide attentive care, including home visits to feed, cuddle, and spend quality time with your pets. I’m also able to drive to clients’ homes and offer home boarding if needed, ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. 🦮🐈⬛With over 10 years of experience at a veterinary hospital—where I shadowed my father, a veterinarian—I’m confident in caring for pets with special needs, administering medications, and understanding animal behavior. I currently have one cat who gets along wonderfully with both cats and dogs, as she previously lived with dogs too. 🐱I’ve had my cat, Sibong, for four years and have never missed a day of dedicated play—15 minutes, four times a day. I’m especially skilled at keeping cats active, engaged, and happy. 🐶While I’m a cat person at heart, I’m equally passionate about dogs. I volunteered for three years at the Philadelphia Animal Shelter, where I gained extensive experience walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments. This experience taught me how to read canine body language, handle various behavioral needs, and provide affectionate care. I enjoy walking, cuddling, and spending quality time with dogs to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved.

About: Hi, nice to meet you, I’m Nick! I’m excited to provide loving and reliable care to your pets. I’m an outgoing individual and I love to express that same personality towards animals too. I’m never too tired or lacking energy to get up and play/care for them. I’ve taken pets on walks to the park before, walks around campus, walks around the city, etc. Whether it’s keeping your pet company, feeding them, or simply making sure they are comfortable and happy, I will make it my job to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m dependable, detail-oriented and understand the importance of following each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs and any special instructions. I also believe communication is inportant, so I’m more than happy to provide updates and pictures while your pet is in my care. I work full-time but mainly work remote from home so I’m happy to coordinate my availability in advance to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and other pet care needs. I will always do my best to make scheduling convenient for you. I look forward to making friends with you and providing the best pet care! I work from home a lot so it’s easy for me to tend to my home and take care of what needs to be done. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because besides cooking and keeping the house clean, I don’t really have any other responsibilities I make sure pets in my home are well hydrated and that they are in an environment where they feel free to roam around and have space to feel comfortable
About: I've always cared for animals, and I'm willing to go above and beyond for animals who need help. Owners need help as much as their animals do! I'm currently out of work, so willing to do anything for animals to make ends meet. If I can help every animal and owner, I will. Inside other's homes I will do everything in my power to keep it as it was when I first enter. There is nothing to deter me from maintaining proper care.
About: I've been around dogs my entire life - from high-maintenance Yorkies to big-hearted Rottweilers, so you could say I don't get thrown off too easily. Puppies, seniors, rescues, anxious or reactive pups - I've probably seen it, or something close to it. What makes me different is how seriously I take your pet's comfort and emotional well-being. I pay attention to their behavior, adjust my energy to meet theirs, and treat them the way I'd want someone to treat my own - with consistency, patience, and a little extra love. Whether it's following a strict routine or adapting to a new one, I bring calm, experience, and a real love for animals. Pet care is a natural part of my life. Right now I'm in between roles so have a ton of bandwidth and flexibility. I have two dogs of my own and start every day with a walk and time outside. I'll always make time for your pet the same way I do for mine - no matter what is going on. Whether it's early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening walks, this is something I want to be doing and will always prioritize. I treat your space and your pet with the same respect I'd expect if roles were reversed. I follow care instructions to a T - feeding, meds, routines, energy levels, everything - and I'm always checking in to make sure your dog feels safe and secure. We don't cut corners here. If I'm walking them, there's no phones and I'm present. If I'm staying in your home, I'll leave it as clean (or cleaner) than I found it. And if you need someone to just stop in and show your pup some love while you're away, I'm your person.

About: After many years in the corporate world, I’ve chosen to spend more time doing something that has always brought me joy—caring for dogs. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I provide dependable dog walking, drop-in visits, companionship, and personalized care based on your pup’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys energetic walks, outdoor adventures, a game of fetch, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with a caring companion, I’m happy to provide a safe and enjoyable experience. I have over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Throughout the years, I have cared for my own dogs as well as the dogs of family and friends. I am comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, maintaining schedules, reinforcing training routines, and recognizing the importance of patience, consistency, and trust when caring for animals. I have recently stepped away from my full-time corporate career, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate meaningful time and attention to the pets I care for. I am available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, evening care, and weekend visits. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, exercised, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Since stepping away from my full-time corporate career, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate quality time to caring for your pets. I enjoy maintaining a balanced lifestyle, so I offer flexible scheduling for walks, drop-in visits, and pet companionship throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether caring for your dog in your home or during walks and visits, I follow your pet’s established routine, respect your home, and provide attentive, loving care. I take time to build trust with each dog, use secure leashes and safe walking practices, and ensure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and companionship. I maintain open communication with pet parents and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is in caring and capable hands.

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 Worcester. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Worcester after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
