About: I am a lifelong animal lover who currently shares my home with a beloved dog and three wonderful cats. My dog is truly my child, and I ensure he thrives through a strict routine of timely feedings, regular walks, and plenty of interactive play throughout the day. This personal commitment to my own pets' happiness and health is exactly what I bring to every animal I care for. What sets me apart is my experience with specialized care; I currently look after a special-needs cat, which includes performing daily eye treatments. I am comfortable following complex care instructions and providing the patient, attentive medical support that senior pets or those with health challenges require. Whether your pet needs high-energy exercise or gentle, specialized attention, I will treat them with the same love and devotion I give my own family. My daily routine is entirely structured around my pets. We start the day at a sharp 8:00 AM for morning breakfast and plenty of outside time. Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, your pet will receive constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and interactive play throughout the day. Our evenings are calm and cozy, ending with soft paw nudges for bedtime. Whether your pet needs a strict medication schedule or just someone to be there for afternoon naps, I have the time and dedication to make them feel right at home. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I provide a secure environment with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. To give you peace of mind, I am happy to send frequent photo and video updates throughout the day so you can see how much fun they are having. For walks, I utilize multiple leashes and harnesses to ensure every outing is secure and controlled. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a vigilant eye and follow all specific care instructions to keep your furry family member happy and safe.

About: Before providing pet care with Rover, I had had the privilege of pet and house sitting for 7 local pet owners in the Ashland area for a year and a half. I have also cared for pets in Talent and Medford, and the love has been reciprocal. I enjoy actively playing with pets and getting to know their personalities. I also have a van and use it to take your dog(s) hiking in the Ashland trails or Jacksonville Forest Park, or to visit the local dog parks according to your and your pets needs and adaptability to other canines. I currently have a very flexible schedule. I sometimes do part time work as an English teacher trainer and academic writing consultant online--this allows for free time. Caring for your sweet dog(s) and/or cat(s) is paramount. I am very adaptable with regards to your home and preferences. I only request a set of instructions to fully attend to your and your pet's needs while in your home.

About: Know what it's like to own dogs since childhood. Tell me what they love, like, and hate. Love to bring gifts for the dog(s) anytime. Also been a great house sitter and pet sitter for my mother in the past when she visited grandkids for a week in California. As far in advance as possible since I also do crowd management seasonally but haven't worked since April 1st. P.S. A page from the daily calendar for Life Hacks encouraged me to join and I do know someone on Rover.com named Stephen. He's a dog sitter, owner, and trainer. P.P.S. Someone is moving into my condo on or before September 15th. She should have a cat. Therefore, it's best I only do pet and home sitting at the owner's place. I live in a condo on the ground level with a patio and a view of Mill Creek. I'd prefer to house and/or pet watch at your place. Someone with a cat is moving in on or by September 15th, 2026.

She followed all the instructions I sent her and made sure to send me lots of pictures on their walks which I really appreciate! I will book with her in the future for sure 🫶🏻 thank you Lizette”

About: I love cats and dogs, and grew up with large dogs. I walk and run a LOT so dogs usually love being taken care of by me. Cats feel special as I make sure to give them love if they want it, otherwise they have food, clean water, and a clean litter box every day! Pets tend to really like me and although I'm not a professional dog trainer, I know how to encourage positive behavior. I'm super responsible and reliable, and I have been asked to house sit numerous times since I'm also really clean and quiet and take very good care of people's homes. I'm currently working part-time so I have a flexible schedule. 9a until evening. And I am available on the weekends. If I stay at the house, that can happen any time during the week. I have been entrusted to care for many homes and cherished pets, and do so with great care! I'm very clean, quiet, and responsible. I love being able to take dogs for walks and to be able to give cats attention or at least fresh food!

From administering medication to long walks, from playful energy to quiet lap time, I adapt to meet your pet exactly where they are — whether young, old, quirky, or cuddly. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, barnyard animals, horses, and pets of all kinds — furry, feathered, scaled, or beyond — bringing the same calm, attentive care to each one.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 5,145 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 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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
