Devon was great! I completely forgot about our appt to meet up before the walk, but she was able to make friends with my dog very quickly after meeting him, followed directions well, and sent cute pics! I’d definitely recommend!

About: I’ve been a sitter on Rover since 2017. I am a very detail oriented person so you can be assured that I won’t miss a step in your pets’ routine. During my time on Rover, I have cared for dozens of clients in various types of bookings. I'm not afraid to roll around in the grass if that means your dog is happy. I am also friendly with other pets, including cats or birds. I hope you pick me to care for your fur babies :) I currently work 8-4 Mon-Friday and will generally be unavailable during those hours. My schedule can ve flexible, so if you need someone for a lunchtime drop in, it’s possible I can make that happen. I can do really early morning visits or anytime after work. The weekends are completely open though. Walks are a standard, with permission of the owner. If not, playtime in the backyard or home will make up for it. I try to keep the pets routine as similar to their norm to reduce anxiety.

About: With over 11 years caring for pups, I’m all about big energy, big personalities, and big tail wags! I love matching their energy- fetch marathons, adventure walks, zoomie sessions, you name it! Every dog gets fun, love, and all the upbeat, positive vibes they deserve. Let’s make your pups day AMAZING! I am fortunate to have an at home flexible schedule with plenty of time to spend giving your pup the attention they need and deserve! I have a fenced in yard and an awesome dog-loving pup that would love nothing more than to make new friends and share his space and toys!

About: I had dogs all through childhood and college, and miss having a four-legged friend around! Sadly, my own work travel schedule prevents me from having a doggo of my own right now, so I thought that it would be a good compromise to lend a hand to other frequent flyers who love their pup too much to put them in the kennel. Rest assured that your dog will not get just a 15-minute lap around the block to pee, I'll take him or her to the dog park, on a hike, or if your pup is more low-key, I'll totally snuggle on the couch. My pet ownership experience is mostly with big dogs (sheperds), so that's definitely my soft spot, but I've taken care of all breeds and sizes through volunteering as a foster with a rescue group in my former home of Washington, DC. I have a reliable car, so it's easy for me to get to your place to check in a couple of times a day. I am self-employed and work from home, so I am pretty flexible. Rover requires at least 25 words explaining my work from home schedule, so these are additional words. I will strive to stick to your pet's usual routine whether I am sitting at your home or boarding in my own home. They are already missing their humans, and maintaining their routine gives them one less thing to be anxious about.

About: Ex restaurant owner turned private chef and animal sitter (what is this life?!). Love meeting all the silly kitties and playful doggies on this app. I have two cats and a pitbull puppy. I specialize in giving insulin if needed, medication/pills, and telling your cat/dog how pretty they are. Very flexible, wide open schedule right now! My schedule was limited to cat visits but now I’m open to pups now that my puppy isn’t as demanding of my time I have two very nice dog friendly cats and just got a puppy. Unfortunately my home is not open to other animals just yet as she’s a wild one

About: I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs. I previously trained and raised a puppy of my own. Unfortunately he is no longer with me, and now I watch friends and family’s fur babies whenever they need it. I’d love to care for your pet! Boarding dogs must be kid friendly as I have a dog loving 1y/o. I have no other pets in the home at this time. My work schedule is super flexible, so even if a day is marked unavailable for drop in or walks, send me a message I might be able to make something work! I work from home majority of the time and am able to give lots of attention and love to your pets. I would be available for boarding most any time. My job is very flexible so I am able to do drop ins or walks anytime as well! Even if a day is marked unavailable, message me as I might be able to make something work! I have a private entry apartment, with a small unfenced grass area by the porch for potty breaks. I live across from Humboldt park and go daily for walks and for my son to play and we would love to take your dog to play fetch or for a nice long walk! My apartment is not huge but will definitely get energy out at the park!

About: I have experience as a dog/ cat owner and fosterer and have been a reliable sitter for friends and family for the last 15 years. As a sitter or walker you can expect me to be punctual, respectful, cleanly, communicative, available, aware, responsible, alert, playful and loving. I am primarily offering care in YOUR home at this time for pet sitting. I am flexible and willing to work out a plan in my home if it is the best option. I live in Bay View right across the street from humboldt park. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work very part time at the moment so I am very flexible. I work 8-3:30 monday, wednesday, Friday. My weekends are mostly open and flexible. I cannot do in my home cares at this time. aaaa a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a

About: Hello! I am a dog lover through and through, as I’ve spent much of my life caring for my own pups and dog sitting for friends and family. I also worked at a doggy daycare for a little over a year, where I was responsible for managing large groups of dogs. We regularly fed, trained, and administered a variety of meds to the dogs in our care. I had the opportunity to work with many different dogs as well, from senior dogs with special needs to young, energetic puppies of all sizes! I have always been extremely passionate about understanding dog behavior so that I can provide the best care for every pup :) I have a lot of time throughout the week to care for your pups! I’m available Mon-Fri, mornings and afternoons. That said, I can also be very flexible regarding timing. Weekends are mostly open for me as well, and I can make myself available whenever it’s needed! I always provide a safe, comfortable environment at your home while sticking to a structured routine of potties, feeding, and/or any medication needs. I’ll do my best to ensure your pet feels relaxed and confident while you’re away!

Sarah is always great with Bosco! He always seems so happy when he finds out he is going to be able to spend some time with her. I just wish that I needed a dog walker more often so he could have more fun with her. Guess it's a great excuse to plan a vacation! (Sorry I forgot to post this months ago! I just noticed it when I tried to rebook you.)

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Fernwood dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Fernwood.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
