“Courtney is very professional, thoughtful and gentle, with my energetic Golden Retriever. She helped us in an over heat week. She planned routes with shade, and kept a very close eye to the dog during the walks. We will definitely book again!”
“I really appreciated Michael’s excellent communication skills, promptness, and reliability. He was also very patient with my pup, even in the face of her anxious barking behaviour.”
About: People always say if they could come back as a dog, they’d want to be mine — because I treat my pups better than some people treat their own kids! I’ve raised an Eskimo Spitz and two Bichons, and we’ve traveled cross-country by plane and car together — mostly because I didn’t want to leave them with just any pet sitter. I get how tough it is to leave your dog with someone else. That’s why I don’t just cover the basics like food and walks — I make sure your pup gets all the love, attention, and care they’re used to. When I travel, I even fly my dogs to stay with family so I can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I want to be that same peace of mind for you — knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently not working - have flexible hours and would love to take walks for my own health - why not with a fur baby?? Whether I’m caring for your pet at my place or yours, I always make sure they’re safe and comfy. I keep everything secure — no sneaky escape routes or anything that could hurt them — and follow your instructions to a T, from feeding to meds to their favorite routines. I’m good at picking up on what your pet needs, whether they want to chill or play, so they always feel happy and relaxed. You can count on me to treat your fur baby like my own, with lots of love and care in a safe, cozy space.
“Robyn is an excellent dog walker! She’s very professional and confident. We can be a little anxious about our dog and felt completely comfortable with Robyn taking care of him. Her photos/updates were always great and made my day.”
About: Experienced animal lover who has raised everything from chickens to horses! I have over ten years of experience as a dog walker and pet sitter for friends, family, neighbors, and clients. I am currently a devoted cat mom to two Cornish Rex cats. I am currently working part-time from home, so I have ample time to accommodate your pets schedule. I am also available to spend time in your home for pets who have more social needs while their owners are away. I have a fenced yard and close access to a large dog park for hosting dogs at my home. I also have a large second bedroom to host cats or dogs who prefer to be inside. All pets in my home will be kept completely separate from my two cats.
About: I love dogs and with years of experience as a dog parent to my own two furry friends, I've honed my skills in caring for dogs of all ages and breeds. I'm a patient and gentle soul, especially with our senior friends who need a little extra TLC. You can count on me to provide reliable and trustworthy dog walking services, tailored to your pup's unique needs. I also offer assistance with leash training to help your dog become a well-behaved walking buddy. Let's take a stroll and make some unforgettable memories together! Dogs daily routine will be 7am wake up and walk, 8am breakfast and relax, 1pm potty break and treat toys, 6pm dinner and walk, 10pm bedtime. Dogs will receive all the care they need. I can accommodate special needs for extra special dogs. On request, I could work on leash training.

About: I’ve cared for foster dogs and neighbor pets with a lot of love and reliability. While my experience may be recent, it’s been strong enough to earn repeat requests—which says more than anyone could. Life’s short—so I took a career break and now spend my days doing what I love: being around animals. My schedule is all about your furry friend. As an empty nester with a quiet home and fully fenced yard, I offer a calm, safe space where your pet can feel secure and cared for—no chaos, no surprises.
About: Currently transitioning to full time pet sitting! Would love to work with you 🐶🐩🐱🐈 With over a decade of experience caring for dogs, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs and preferences. I'm skilled at handling dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and have experience with puppy training and senior care. I will take care of your home as well, and make sure your pets are having a great time while you’re away! I am dedicated to meeting your pet's needs. As a devoted dog walker and sitter, I am available throughout the week and can accommodate to your schedule. As an avid walker myself, I'm eager to provide your dog with plenty of exercise and playtime outside. I prioritize safety by using secure leashes, ensuring dogs are properly hydrated, monitoring their behavior, and avoiding high-traffic areas. When in your home, I respect your space and follow any and all specific instructions provided. I make sure to keep your home in pristine condition.
“I needed an early morning dog walker for a few days, and Hannah did a great job. I will gladly use her again. It was easy to arrange the initial meet and greet, I got detailed notes after each walk, and some great pics.”

Julie W.
“I used Julie multiple times to watch my pets. 5 stars every time! She keeps you updated and sends the cutest photos.”
Kenzi B.
“Kenzi is a GEM! She is so responsible and intuitive, and takes amazing care of our pup. Plus she takes the cutest pictures to send us! 10/10 recommend!”
Robyn C.
“Robyn is an excellent dog walker! She’s very professional and confident. We can be a little anxious about our dog and felt completely comfortable with Robyn taking care of him. Her photos/updates were always great and made my day.”
Alexis I.
“Alexis is one of my Shih Tzu-Pomeranian mix Piper's favorite people! That says a lot because, as an undersocialized rescue, Piper generally takes a while to warm up to new people and can get anxious very easily. Alexis was patient and warm, and knew how to make Piper comfortable. And now Piper always gets SO excited when they meet up! I can't recommend Alexis enough!! Bonus: Alexis is also great at taking pictures, so you'll end up with adorable shots of your pet. :)”
Louise G.
“Pacho really enjoys his walks with Louise!”
Anitha T.
“Anitha’s a pet-care wizard! She was so responsive with all my questions. Also, my doggy thinks she’s the queen of treats. The other day we saw her on the way to the park and he tried to go with her! Loyalty to the treats I suppose. But yeah, you can rest easy if you decide to go with Anita.”

“Susannah was great and really communicative. Harper had an accident in the house and I was so grateful that she cleaned it up. We will be using her again soon.”
Imju B.
“I've known Imju for 10+ years, and she is one of the most responsible and caring people I know. She has a natural way with animals and treats every pet as if it were her own. Imju and her family have helped care for my dog several times, always ensuring my dog was safe, well-fed, and happy. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter or dog walker to anyone looking for someone reliable and attentive.”
Ally G.
“Ally is a very attentive and caring person. One of her gifts is giving full attention to whomever she is with. I have seen her caring nature in action countless times and everyone is thrilled to spend time with Ally. She is a gentle, warm caregiver by nature and would be a wonderful companion for precious pet”

Fair Meadow dog parents share their Rover experiences
Molly is amazing! I needed a last minute dog walker and she really came through. My rambunctious pup was no match for Molly's skills in handling her high energy. She was punctual and very communicative and really put me to eaze on my last minute outing, as I was very lucky to have connected with Molly. Will definitely use again in the future!
Keola was very responsive and prompt. Our dog is pretty nervous around new people but he took to Keola within a few minutes and looked forward to his walks with her. She sent us plenty of photos of the walk and we knew he was in very safe hands. We would work with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Keola!!
Review Title: A True Lifesaver – Above and Beyond! I can't say enough wonderful things about Andrea. On incredibly short notice—due to my husband’s unexpected hospitalization—she stepped in without hesitation to care for our dogs, Buster and Koko. Not only was she prompt, professional, and amazing with our pups, but she also went out of her way to check in on me to make sure I was doing okay during a very stressful time. That kind of compassion is rare and so appreciated. Buster and Koko were in the best hands, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. We will definitely be using her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a truly reliable and kind-hearted dog walker. Thank you again for everything—you are a blessing!
