About: I have taken care of animals since I was a young teenager volunteering in shelters and have owned many different types of animals over the years. I have owned dogs myself in the past and understand many species’ needs, wellbeing, and health. I have experience pet sitting multiple species and have walked dogs for years. I am available to open up my home for boarding, drop by for a walk, pet sit at others’ homes, and work strange hours. I’m currently a student so I have time throughout the week to work. I can stay overnight and host animals at my home as well. I have a fenced yard and a property of 0.75 acres with grass, shade, and trees with a dog door that can be open, closed, and I’m available to supervise dogs for outdoor time. My home is located near plenty of nice hiking trails and I would love to take your furry friend out for a nice hike if that’s something desired. I am very comfortable crating dogs, and attending to their needs as well. I can adapt to daily routines for sitting at others’ homes and would love to work in that capacity as well.
“Taylor is amazing. She has helped me out multiple times with my high energy pitbull. She’s done house sitting for a week and helps do weekly walks with my dog. It’s such a relief to know my pup is in safe hands and is getting love from Taylor at the same time.”

About: As a lifelong pet owner of both dogs and cats, I have only known life with pets! Since I was very young, I was always the neighborhood "go to" pet sitter back when I lived back in Massachusetts. Often times, the pets will try to come running to me when they see me walking by the street/window even when their owner is there! Thankfully, I work remote and can bring my work with me anywhere! I work for the big TV industry, and I'm fully able to step away from my computer whenever I need and take care of: walks, cuddles, potty business, and more! Every pet sit that I do includes: cuddle time, attention, walks, pets, and play time. I follow your specific directions down to every word to ensure that all the physical and emotional needs of your pet are met!
About: I grew up in the Seattle area on a plot of land with a little farm! I love animals of all shapes and sizes and have dealt with lots of different temperaments and breeds. Although I’m not an expert, I’ve done a lot. In college I volunteered at the humane society and walked dogs and I have two babies of my own (one pug and one cat). I’m currently a swim coach so my commitments are in the evenings for 2-3 hours. Before and after work there will be lots of opportunities to get their energy out and play outside. I’m in an apartment so all dogs must be potty trained and not prone to chewing- or be okay in a crate. Our outside area is completely fenced but doesn’t have much grass so we love to go on walks through the neighborhood.
About: Hi! I’m Hasan Farajov, 25 years old, a student who works from home and absolutely loves spending time outdoors. I believe dogs deserve more than just staying inside—so I love going on long walks and hikes with them, especially around Runyon Canyon, which is super close to my home. I truly enjoy creating fun, active, and loving experiences for every pup I care for. Hopefully, as you can see from my pictures, your dog and I will be a perfect match! I work part-time, so I have a lot of free time 👌 My schedule varies, and I set it myself 📆 I am almost always home ☺️ I live in a duplex with neighbors who have very friendly dog and a cat, so your pet can have a company. I have a backyard and live in a spacious house! 😻 Feel free to message me 📩 Rest assured, your furry friend will be in safe and loving hands while you are away 🥰
About: Ever since I was little I’ve always had an unbelievable love for animals. I have been caring for pets since I was 12 years old, watching family, friends and neighbors dogs. I have also been working as a Veterinary Assistant/tech since 2021 and have my degree in Veterinary Technology. Caring for animals has always been my true love in life. I treat every pet as if they are my own, ensuring they receive love, attention, and the care they deserve, including never ending belly rubs. I’m committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience not only your pets but you as an owner as well. Whether it’s an energetic pup or a senior pet who needs a bit more patience my goal remains the same. Need a cat sitter? I would love to watch your fur baby, do drop in visits or whatever else you may need. I understand the boundaries cats may have with touch and new people. I would love to meet you and your pet! I am currently working at an animal hospital in Encino and typically work Sunday-Wednesday 8am-7pm. Depending on the distance, I will be able to check in your pet during my lunch break at work. I am pretty flexible on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I want not only your fur baby to be comfortable and feel safe but I want you as a pet owner to feel the same. I will treat your home with the utmost respect.
“Prompt response. Very caring and shows she cares for dogs. Birutė is very personable, very diligent in following instructions and shows she is committed to taking good care of my pup. She was punctual, sent me quick feedback about her contact with my dog, asked questions appropriately. I would highly recommend!”
“We couldn't be happier with Sierra! Charlie warmed up to her almost instantly, which says so much. Our pup can take some time to feel comfortable, so the fact that she felt at ease so quickly is a true testament to how warm and gentle Sierra is. She is always on time and so kind and sweet with Charlie every single visit. It's such a relief knowing Charlie is in caring, reliable hands. We highly recommend her! 🐾”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for 10+ years through animal shelters and pet sitting. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, including administering medication, reinforcing training, bathing, and taking dogs on long walks or runs. I’m comfortable caring for large breeds, reactive dogs, and pets with special needs. My experience with caring for cats is extensive as well. As a law student, I study from home most days, so your pets will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care. My goal is to make sure you can relax knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for!

Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine, and they make great study buddies! I do my best to keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable in the space they know best. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, medications, and even around the house if needed. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own. You’ll also receive daily updates and plenty of photos so you always know how they’re doing!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fernwood
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.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Fernwood is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $41 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Fernwood. 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 Fernwood 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.
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. 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:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
