“Carly was absolutely fantastic! She was perfectly on time, brought a wonderful, positive energy, and came prepared with treats. My pup was clearly happy and excited to walk with her, and I felt instantly comfortable and confident in her care. I'll definitely be booking her again very soon!”
“Kaylah was an absolute lifesaver! I reached out on very short notice twice this week, and she responded quickly and was more than happy to help. She took amazing care of my dog, Oakley—made sure she was walked, fed, and given lots of love. I came home to a happy pup and really appreciated the updates she sent during the visit. Kaylah is reliable, kind, and clearly an animal lover. I’d definitely book with her again and I highly recommend her to everyone.”
“Kristen has been a huge help with my 9 month old golden retriever. She has been flexible with her schedule and great with communication. She is very friendly and Winnie enjoyed greeting her at the door for a daily walk. Highly recommend.”
About: While I do not currently have a four-legged friend of my own, I have raised and cared for dogs and cats over the past 30+ years. I have also cared for dogs and cats for friends and neighbors. My experience includes fostering rescue dogs of different breeds (mostly pit bulls), size, age and temperament. I love all dogs and appreciate their unique personalities and energy levels. I will provide basic training, lots of playtime, walks, belly rubs, cuddles, whatever your fur baby needs… I will treat them as my own and give them lots of love & affection. You can rest easy knowing that while you are away, your paws are in good hands, receiving the attention they deserve. To ensure that our time together is stress-free and safe, I will not watch dogs from multiple households. 🐶❤️ As of January 2024, I am semi-retired and self-employed. My flexible schedule allows for plenty of time for playing fetch and going for several daily walks. I currently have no other animals of my own in my home. Therefore, I have lots of room in my home and my ❤️ to care for your fur baby. I have a fenced in yard and a dog-friendly, quiet neighborhood for walks and play time. I will base activities on their age, size and energy level. I have patience and understanding in caring for dogs who may be a little nervous at first, especially if it’s their first time away from family. I will keep you updated on our adventures so that you can rest easy and feel confident that your four-legged family member is in good hands.
“Jamie has been such a good addition to my dog team. Roxy, the very busy cattle dog, is sweet but reactive and headstrong. Jamie handles her so well. Roxy loves her, and she’s getting her walk needs met while I’m down with a broken arm. Highly recommend Jamie!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was a little kid. All the dogs growing up were considered "my dogs" by everyone else in the house. I currently have two well behaved dogs, a husky who enthusiastically learned to do basic tricks and a special needs staffie that is a certified couch potato. If your baby has a medication regimen, I can make sure it gets followed. We can be as lazy or active as your baby needs me to be. I also have extensive experience with cats and some experience with ball pythons. My human kids are adults now, so I spend most of my waking time doting over my fur babies; I could consider yours a part of my pack if you'd like! If your dog is an adventurer we can walk for hours. I have two very friendly dogs and two...lets just call them tolerant...cats. I love just watching them go, so I am very engaged with the babies all day long. I'm good at following instructions and I can crate your pet as I come and go if you wish.
“Allison is very sweet and super reliable! We have a high energy 1 year old dog and she’s great and burning his energy during the day while we’re at work! She goes above and beyond for our Theo! 🐾”
About: Hi, I'm Brooke! I’m 19 years old and have been around animals my entire life. Growing up, I was never without a pet, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. My first cat, Hunter Patches, was a huge part of my life before he passed last year. Since then, I’ve welcomed two new cats, Loki and Marie, into my family. I also have a 10 year old rescue dog named Gunner and recently rescued a bearded dragon named Dino. I’m comfortable caring for cats, dogs, and reptiles, and I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, play with, check on, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I have a flexible routine and enjoy spending time feeding, playing with, walking, and giving attention to pets throughout the week. I will care for your pets like they’re my own by keeping them fed, comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their routines closely, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel calm and cared for in their home environment.
About: I have always been an animal lover, caring for dogs and cats of all ages and size since middle school. I’ve never met an animal I didn’t like! I’ve even helped rescue cats and kittens, so I have some experience with that. I work for myself as a speech pathologist so I make my own schedule weekly, making it very easy for me to accommodate needs for your animal! I truly believe that animals can sense when people will treat them right- all animals appear to sense this about me and can trust me.
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life. I previously owned a pit bull and a bullmastiff. I love the company of animals so it would be my pleasure to take care of your dog. I have a 15 year old son who is also a dog lover and very responsible. I live near the Erie Canal and love to walk the trails with furry friends. I minimally train if needed although I’m not certified. I am currently not working so your pup will get plenty of love and attention. I may leave the house for a few hours a day but that’s all. I let them hang out on my main floor where couches and beds are all pet friendly. I have a large picture window they love to people/dog watch from. I have a fenced back yard for potty breaks and will walk them around my circle or at the canal for exercise. I take multiple dogs at a time and when I have more than one dog I adjust to their individual needs and separate if need be. I have 2 spare bedrooms set up very comfortably just for dogs if that is the case and everyone gets their fair share of attention☺️
About: I’ve had animals of all shapes and sizes for my whole life. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, birds, rabbits, fish, and more. I currently have 5 cats and 2 dogs of my own and frequently pet sit for family members! I also foster dogs and cats for a local animal rescuer. I am experienced with puppies, seniors, and special needs animals. Two of my own pets require daily medications and I am experienced with oral and subcutaneous meds. I have background in the medical field. I work during the week, but have availability for visits before and after work and in the evenings. I am available anytime on the weekends. I care for your pets as if they are my own. My pets are family to me and I understand the value in having a trustworthy sitter.
“Margaret is fantastic—she has great expertise with both dogs and cats and is incredibly reliable and friendly! My dog, who is a little bit nervous generally and not small (Aussie/Husky) took to her immediately and they have gotten on beautifully! I also have two cats and Margaret gives them the same love she does her own sweet kitty. Highly recommend!”
About: I have experience with dogs for almost 40 years. I also have experience with cats and birds. I have had puppies through their senior years as well as taking some older dogs through the rescue that I work with. I am experienced with giving medication as well as any other needs they may have. I have experience cat sitting for family and they have special diets as well as medicine given twice a day. I am a teacher so will have the summer off to help throughout the day as well as evenings and weekends. I can come to your house, or have them come to mine. My pets, 3 dogs and a bird, are quite literally part of my family. They are allowed everywhere in my home. I treat all animals as though they are one of my own. I have experience with giving medication or special diets as needed. When I have pet sit for other’s I always will do anything requested. I am more than willing to send photos if requested.

“My dog gets SO excited when she see's Christopher coming to take her for her walks. Great guy, 100% approved by my hound who can be a choosy gal. I work from home and don't have the time always for walks during the day. Every time she comes back from her walks with Christopher she take a long nap.”
“Alyssa was so great with my little one. She kept me updated throughout the week, was very responsive and took care of him when he did not feel well. She even got him a toy for his birthday. I would highly recommend her!”
About: Animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m dependable, caring, and attentive, and I love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy!! My cat has a brain condition that makes her “wobbly” so I have a lot of experience with cats like her as well as dogs:) I’m currently a full time esthetician but looking to help out other family’s in need on the side. I’m definitely willing to help out you and your pet! My cats stayed completely indoors and for dogs they are always fenced in or on a leash. I’m definitely very responsible when it comes to the safety of the animal and people around the animal
“This was my first time booking a dog walker. I was so excited that Heather had a dog she could bring! Both dog and Heather were friendly, professional, and on time. Walk went well and we’ll be booking again. Thanks!”
Fairmount dog parents share their Rover experiences
Carly has been wonderful with my senior dog. She is patient with him and goes above and beyond to help him get outside and enjoy his walks. I also appreciate her flexibility when I have asked for earlier or additional visits for him. Been such a relief to have her check in on him when I am at work🙂
Megan is fantastic! She’s been walking my dog Tala, and I couldn’t be happier. Tala absolutely adores her and comes home happy and relaxed after every walk. Megan is reliable, punctual, and always provides great updates and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. Highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
