About: Taking care of any type of dog is something that I always look forward to doing, and I have been doing it for friends, family, and more for most of my life. I am mostly focusing on school, but when I am free, spending time with dogs is something that I have always been interested in. I want to do something that I enjoy instead of a boring, behind the counter job. At my house, my whole front yard is gated, and has a grass area that is perfect for any type of dog, no matter the size. I am perfectly fine at following instructions given by the owner that will best benefit the dog while he/she is my responsibility.
About: I'm a stay-at-home mom with years of hands on experience caring for animals especially dogs and cats with unique needs. 🐶 I offer solo dog walks for pups who need calm, one on one attention, perfect for reactive, anxious, or senior dogs who don’t do well in group settings. 🐱 I also provide drop in cat care, including feeding, litter cleaning, medication (if needed), and gentle companionship while you're away. I’m reliable, patient, and always focus on your pet’s comfort and safety. While I’m not a certified trainer or vet, I bring real world experience and lots of love to every visit. Message me to chat about your pet’s needs or check availability! 💛 Summer Walks for Your Pup: To keep your dog safe and comfortable during warmer weather (80°F and above), I always walk them on grass or in shaded areas. For dogs with sensitive skin, I’m happy to apply pet-safe sunscreen. On very hot days or during heat waves, I’ll take your pup for a shorter walk and then spend the rest of the time relaxing safely at your home and in your yard (if you have one). I do require a meet-and-greet before booking, so please avoid last-minute requests unless we’ve already met. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! I aim to provide flexible, reliable pet care that fits both your needs and my availability. Weekdays: Available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting primarily during mid-morning to early afternoon (roughly 9 AM to 3 PM), perfect for pets who need care while you’re at work or running errands. Weekends: Limited availability; please book in advance as these spots fill quickly. Meet & Greets:By appointment only, usually scheduled during weekday mornings or early afternoons. These are required before any bookings to ensure a comfortable fit for your pet and me. If you have special scheduling needs, feel free to ask and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I recommend booking as early as possible to secure your preferred times. Caring for your beloved pets in the comfort of their own home is a responsibility I take very seriously. My top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm environment where your pet feels secure and loved. Safety First: I carefully follow your instructions and any special care routines you provide. Whether it’s administering medication, maintaining feeding schedules, or respecting exercise limitations, your pet’s health and well-being are my highest priority. I keep doors and gates secure and supervise pets closely to prevent any accidents or escapes. Building Trust: I understand that letting someone into your home and care for your furry family member requires trust. I strive to earn that by being reliable, punctual, and respectful of your home and privacy. I believe in clear communication and will keep you updated so you always know how your pet is doing. Comfortable Environment: Pets thrive best in familiar surroundings, so I make sure to maintain their usual routines and provide plenty of love, attention, and stimulation. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I tailor each visit to meet your pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m honored to be entrusted with your pet’s care and work hard to make each visit a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend.
About: As a lifelong animal lover from a family of animal lovers and with 13 years in animal rescue, I’m the person who always rescues animals in need, especially from high-kill shelters. Pets are family to me. After my two babies passed, I now professionally sit and foster. I believe each pet has a unique spirit, and I’d love to meet yours. I also practice animal communication and healing, helping pets feel less anxious. Alongside my rescue work, I run a trauma healing and mental health non-profit, creating programs to help individuals heal and reclaim their lives. I’m a writer, work from home, and am passionate about holistic health, music, travel, and nature. Your pets will receive compassionate care from someone who truly loves and understands them. I have animal friends from all over the world. I work from home and at my own schedule. Flexible availability any time or day of the week. I will do whatever is expected to make your animal feel safe, appreciated; and in their routine. Each animal has different needs and I respect this while having a strong knowledge of animal behavior.
About: I truly love dogs and understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. As a dog mom to three wonderful dogs, I know every dog has their own personality, routines, and quirks. All three of my dogs have passed the AKC Canine Good Citizen test, and I’ve also learned from professional dog trainers along the way. I will care for your dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, lots of attention, and plenty of love. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine with my own three dogs, so I’m used to walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving them the attention they need. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and keep you updated while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. We live in a spacious two-story home with both a front yard and a backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to relax and explore. My own three dogs, all of whom have passed the AKC Canine Good Citizen test, typically stay upstairs, allowing me to thoughtfully manage introductions and create a comfortable environment for every pet. Our community is quiet, surrounded by fresh air and beautiful walking and hiking paths, so your dog can enjoy both exercise and enrichment. Whether your pup loves outdoor adventures or prefers cozy naps and companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home.
“Megan graciously accepted my very last-minute request to walk our dog. She was very responsive and even cleaned up after my dog. I would definitely reach out to her again. Highly recommended!”
“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: I love all kinds of animals and have had experience handling all kinds of them from iguanas to Maine coone cats. I’ve had experience caring for Pomeranians, miniature pinschers, and more. I am great at making animals feel safe and comfortable. I work part time but I manage my own schedule so I can most likely work around your schedule as long as you let me know in advance when you’d like me to care for your pet! I prefer to watch pets in my clients home or take them for walks around their neighborhood as this is likely where your pet will feel safest. Instructions specific to your pet are encouraged.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and have experience with other families and friends pets as well! I’ve walked neighbors dogs, watched and played with cats and more! I’m currently on summer break from college, so I have a lot of time and am super flexible for scheduling! Mostly any day of the week I am available! I have a lot of experience with all different types of dogs and cats and have grown up around mine and so many friends pets so l will be sure to care for their specific needs and do activities they personally enjoy!
About: With over eight years of hands-on pet care experience, I don’t just “watch” animals — I build real bonds with them. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, quirks, and comforts so they feel safe, seen, and genuinely loved. Every animal in my care is treated as if they were my own, with patience, protection, and affection at the center of everything I do. Their happiness, trust, and tail wags are truly the greatest reward. I am a freelance professional makeup artist working part time, so I have plenty of free time to care for your furry friends and felines! When I care for your pets in your home, I treat the entire space with the same respect and attention I give your animals. I follow their routines closely, provide loving companionship, and make sure they feel safe, calm, and comfortable in their familiar environment. While I am there taking care of your pets, I am also taking care of your home — keeping a clean, safe, and mess-free space for your animal to relax in. You can return to a happy pet and a well-maintained home.
About: I have had 3 dogs my whole life. Although, I currently done have any; my love for them is still within. Im here to get my itch of pup cured. I love going on walks, so would love to bring your pup along. Can't wait to meet you! I currently work a full time job with two days off. I am very flexible to yours or your pets needs when it comes to before or after my shift. I'm open my days off. I'm looking to come to the pets home since that is they're safe place.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fernwood
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Fernwood on Rover is $23.54 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 17,488 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fernwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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. 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:
- 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.
