“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: My pet care experience goes far beyond simply loving animals. I have cared for cats, dogs, fish, horses, small mammals, and wildlife, and I recently earned my M.S. in Wildlife Science. I have worked as a dog walker, a pet/house/plant sitter, an animal research technician caring for mice, rats, rabbits, and dogs, and as a veterinary assistant at a cat and dog vaccine clinic. I also have experience drawing blood and administering medication to a variety of domestic and wildlife animals, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and paying close attention to each animal’s needs. I am very much a cat person, too, and I understand that cats have different needs than dogs, including patience, quiet companionship, respect for boundaries, and careful attention to subtle changes in behavior. I am patient, reliable, and attentive to animal behavior, and I enjoy helping pets feel safe, whether they need a good walk, playtime, calm companionship, or plenty of cuddles. I currently work remotely part-time, which allows me to maintain a very flexible schedule for pet care. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, pet sitting, and plant care throughout the week. While I am not able to provide boarding in my own home, I am happy to provide overnight care in your home so your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency by carefully following each client’s instructions and keeping pets in their familiar routines as much as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and household rules are handled with care. I also pay close attention to each pet’s body language, comfort level, and behavior, and I provide calm, respectful care that helps them feel secure while their owner is away.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals and my genuine passion for their well-being. Since I was 5 years old, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, fish, and more, giving me a strong understanding of different pets' needs and personalities. In the past 2 years I have been working at a dog wellness/ grooming center, where I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. I also previously volunteered with the Elmwood Park Zoo as well as a local cat shelter which helped deepen my knowledge of animal care and behavior. I'm comfortable caring for puppies & kittens , adult dogs & cats , and senior pets, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and following each pet's unique routine. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and care while their owners are away. I now work remotely, so I am super flexible with my hours , I’m pretty much available anytime. (with notice if it’s going to be late ) Your pet's safety and comfort come first. Working in dog wellness has given me experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I provide reliable care, follow routines closely, and treat every dog as if they were my own.
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors dogs and coworkers as well. Experience with walking them, administering medications, speciality feedings, house sitting and more. I’ve worked will all age ranges from puppies to seniors (including cats). I also love reptiles! Snakes, geckos, frogs, you name it. I’d love to be able to take care of your fur babies while you have a stress free vacation or trip. I currently work full time as a hairstylist, Wednesday through Saturday from 9-6, however with enough notice my boss is super flexible and I’d be willing to take some reasonable time off. I’m off Sunday-Tuesday so perfect for drop in visits, walkings, and house sitting. I always write down rules that you may provide or have. I love doing a “meet and greet prior to the booking so your pet is familiar with me before we spend time together.
About: Hi, my name is Lauren, and I have been caring for animals for most of my life. Growing up, I was surrounded by many different types of animals, but dogs have always held a special place in my heart. As a devoted pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I have experience working with pets that require special care, including diabetic animals and those who need medications administered. I am also comfortable with bathing and providing basic grooming support. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I believe that happy pets are active and engaged, so I focus on providing plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and enrichment through walks, playtime, and activities that meet their individual needs. Whether your pet loves adventure or prefers a slower pace, I tailor my care to their personality and routine. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. I look forward to meeting you and providing the best possible care for your beloved pets! 🐾💜 I currently work full-time in a school and am available for pet care services during evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I am happy to help. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, attention, and exercise, so I strive to make every visit a positive experience. You can count on me to provide reliable, compassionate care and treat your pets like family while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companions! 🐾💜 At this time, I am unable to offer pet care services in my home due to my reactive dog. However, I am more than happy to come to your home and provide the care your pet needs in the comfort of their familiar environment. Whether your furry family member needs walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, playtime, or companionship, I am committed to providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away, treating them with the same love and attention I give my own pets. 🐾💜
About: I used to have a Shih-tzu named Eris who was a very sweet girl with lots of energy. I currently look after a French Bulldog from time to time who I absolutely love. I like working with small dogs/lap dogs but I can work with bigger dogs too. I work from home, and I have plenty of time to play with your dog or take them on walks. I spend most of my day ar my desk, and I would welcome the extra encouragement to go outside and take the dog for a walk. I live with two other family members who love dogs, so your dog will never go without attention. If your dog is small, then I will happily let them sit on my bed while I work, and I'll reach over to give them pets whenever they want. Larger dogs are welcome to lie in a dog bed by my desk, or downstairs on the couch with me.

I am always willing to accommodate you and your dogs needs and I will always care for them like they are my own! I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am a home body, so I am always at home and also have my mom and grandmom in the home to help if need be. In a clients home, I will leave it completely up to you, how I walk, feed, crate, etc. your dog. But I will always care for your dog as if they were my own!

I can crate them anywhere in the home if needed. I also have plenty of dog toys/crates/ dog accessories from my own dog.
“Krista was amazing! She helped me out at the last minute and was a lifesaver. She came and personally met my dog before her services to get to know him. She left very detailed notes about their walks which I greatly appreciated and took the cutest photos of him too.”
“Dustin has been wonderful! He's very gentle with Larry and very kind. I noticed he takes note of Larry's harness and if it's too loose or uncomfy for him. Larry loves him! I definitely recommend hiring Dustin for walks.”
“Melissa helped us out on short notice and was amazing! She was on time and cared for Lady like she was her own. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future.”
“Very accommodating! Gave less than 24 hour notice that I needed my old gal walked and he made it happen. Very communicative and great pictures. Will definitely use Jason in the future!!”
About: I had a dog as a child. I have had dogs for over 35 years. They are great company and a great addition to any family. I am retired. My time would be totally devoted to spending time with your pet(s). I look forward to giving you the comfort that your pets are well-cared for while you are not home. My pets at home are pretty spoiled. They are not crated and we play inside and outside. Whatever the owners require is what I will do. Unfortunately, my most recent dog died of cancer. I miss her; but look forward to taking good care of other people’s pets.
“I can't thank Sam enough for the amazing communication and great care he takes of Meilah when he comes to let her out. My neighbors say he is great allowing her to sniff around and go potty. She is always very relaxed when we get home from work.”

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Worcester. 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.
