“We had a great experience with Jojo walking Chomsky! She had great communication, sent a great update and she was also willing to do a meet n greet beforehand which I really appreciated. Hope she'll be able to walk Chomsky again in the future!”
About: Years with my own dog taught me that dogs have a few universal talents: finding the muddiest puddle, convincing you they haven’t eaten in days five minutes after dinner, and making every walk an adventure. Volunteering at a shelter reminded me that behind all those funny moments is something even more important—every dog wants to feel safe, understood, and loved. I’ve become pretty fluent in “dog language.” 🐶 That’s why I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and earn their trust. I think it’s the best part of spending time with them. My skills: * Understanding dog behavior and body language * Building trust with dogs of different personalities * Patient and gentle handling * Caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments * Following detailed care instructions * Providing companionship, play, and attention My schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and giving each dog the individual attention they need. I understand that dogs feel happiest and most comfortable when they can keep their familiar routine. I do my best to create a calm, safe, and consistent environment that feels as close to home as possible while their family is away. I work full-time, seven days a week, so I’m available to provide reliable and consistent care for your pets whenever you need it. Before caring for your pet, I like to learn the little details that make them unique — their favorite activities, walking habits, how they communicate, and what helps them feel comfortable. During each walk, visit, or house sitting stay, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing how your furry friend is doing. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with someone they trust!
“Victoria was great! Our dog is like a child to us so it's hard to trust anyone but we felt immediately comfortable with Victoria. She was communicative and punctual. Our pup loved her, too! Will definitely be using again!”
“Thomas is terrific!! so happy to have found him. I know my pet, Lili, is in good hands when she’s out for a walk with him. He is warm and caring towards my pet, and I love that he communicates About arrival time and details of the walk.”
“Sam has taken great care of our dog Rex over the past month, and also added on helping to care for our cats and house while we were away on vacation. He's very flexible and communicative, and has been accommodating to schedule changes throughout the holiday season. We're very thankful for his help in making sure all of our pets are safe and well-cared for when we're away from home!”
“Lili was great!! Always on time for walks, super flexible with walk routes, and very communicative - Maverick was well taken care of. Will definitely be reaching out to Lili again in the future for help with Maverick!”
“Thank you for coming on time, figuring out how to deal with my shy Mamba. You took him all the way to the park, awesome. And he seemed happy and affectionate when I got home.”
“As I have said on previous reviews, I can’t imagine anyone will ever find anyone as great as Kendyl, we are unfortunately going to need to start decreasing our schedule because my work situation is changing— but will continue to request for Kendyl whenEVER we need Riley coverage!”
“Denise has been amazing with Stella and Milo. They have lots of energy and she has been great to adapt to their own unique personalities. Stella is 9 1/2yo and started limping one night and she let me know right away sending me videos and pictures. She always sends great updates and pictures which makes my shifts so much better!”
“Sarah and Karl are incredible! They asked very thorough questions and followed all of Ripley’s very specific training and medicine protocol. He is a reactive dog and they are great with him. I look forward to continuing to work with them!”
“Nicholle was able to respond to my urgent request and promptly arrange a meet and greet. She did amazing with my GSD who’s really a puppy in a big dog’s body. Would definitely work with her again!”
“I’ve had the pleasure of having Raymond walk my beloved dog three times a week for the past few months, and I couldn’t be more pleased with his services. Raymond is not only dependable and punctual, but he also shows a genuine affection and understanding towards my dog, which puts me at ease knowing my pet is in good hands. He always ensures my dog gets a good amount of exercise and fun during their walks, and he’s very communicative, often sending updates and photos, which I greatly appreciate. It’s clear Raymond takes his responsibility seriously and cares deeply for the animals he looks after. I highly recommend his dog walking services to anyone looking for a professional, caring, and reliable walker. My dog absolutely adores him, and that’s the highest praise I can give!”

Andrea and Michael are just so wonderful. I have had some really bad experiences in the past but they are just incredible. When they boarded my dog for a couple for a couple of days, she was literally sleeping with them in their bed .. They loved her like she was their own. ( Which meant everything after the negative experiences I have had.) They're just so and loving and Andrea could walk for miles and miles !I I don't know how she does it for all the walks, but she's in tiptop shape lol. We could not ask for a better care takers of my beautiful honey beast and we are leaving her soon with them for a week and the only reason I feel comfortable leaving my dog for that time is because of them. Otherwise, I would not leave my dog with anyone else.
Ellie has been absolutely wonderful with our pup, Sadie! She was punctual, super communicative, and incredibly friendly. I really appreciated how mindful she was of Sadie’s well-being during the hot summer days—going above and beyond to make sure she stayed safe and comfortable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ dog walker! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!

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 Fernwood. 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 Fernwood.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 Fernwood. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
