“Emma was great with Luke! She took him on some of his favorite walks in the short time she got to watch him. She was punctual on her visits and remembered to lock our doors after she leaves 😉. With the normal app glitches, which affected us both, aside - it was a good experience and we would seek her out again.”
“Melody and Rufus enjoyed their time with Anne. Anne took great care of them both and we will be having her take them both for walks weekly. Thank you for being so great with our dogs💕”
“Brian stepped in when our summer walker for River was out of town. And we’re so glad he did. An incredibly compassionate caretaker of dogs. We trusted Brian with our best boy both immediately and implicitly! Thank you Brian!”
About: I have been taking care of others pets for about 5 years now and have had family pets of the furry, feathered, and scaly varieties my entire life. I've mucked stalls, scooped poop, cleaned cat boxes, all of the not so glamorous parts, and have enjoyed walking, playing and spending quality time while meeting each furry friends every day needs. I currently have a French Bulldog named Sophie and a Leopard Gecko named Leo who I have loved taking care of every day! I am currently on summer vacation so I am free every day except for one vacation I have planned in August (which is blocked out on my calendar). I am able and willing to stay as many days as you need in your home any time of the week with your pets. I am very flexible with my schedule so I can extend stays if needed. I plan on getting a regularly scheduled job after summer so my schedule will be less open but after communication I can let you know if I am available or not. My basic pet care will include bringing pets to the bathroom about every 2-4 hours, feeding pets required amount told by owners, playing with pets multiple times a day, cleaning up after pets, and any other special care instructions given by owners. Care may vary depending on the type of animal.
“This was Heather and Nala's first time together and Heather did an amazing job with my girl. My girl is super shy and Heather was able to get her comfortable and go for a short walk. Thank you Heather.”
“It was our first meeting with Lisa and it was great! Our cat went right to her and our dog enjoyed all the petting. Lisa was very communicative and flexible (rain in forecast), and I appreciated that very much. We look forward to future visits.”
“Lily was great with our dog! She was flexible with our schedule, very dependable, and communicative. She returned my call prior to booking to discuss details since I was a new client. We would highly recommend Lily to other clients. She was very kind and loving towards our dog. JoJo seemed to enjoy her walks with you. Heather S.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve been responsible for caring for family pets for as long as I can remember, and I’ve worked professionally as a dog groomer for over 10 years. I also have experience owning and caring for a wide variety of pets, giving me a strong understanding of different species, personalities, and care needs. Whether your pet loves adventure, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I’ll treat them like one of my own. 🐾 I’m typically more open and flexible with times in the middle of the week (Wednesday - Thursday) and every other weekend, as I groom full time the rest of the week! But I am available mornings and nights, daily. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep a close eye on pets during walks and visits, and make sure they always have access to fresh water, a safe environment, and plenty of attention. With 10+ years of professional experience working with animals, I’m comfortable recognizing signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and will communicate with you promptly if any concerns arise. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾
About: As a lifetime pet-parent I will treat your pets as if they were my own - you can expect the best care and attention to all your specific needs and routines. I currently have three cats and am the god-parent to three dogs. My best friend for 14 years was a Dalmatian, and before a career in finance, I worked in ASPCA and vet hospitals and I studied pre-vet medicine in college. I've handled dogs professionally and worked with puppies and senior dogs, as well as violent and untrained dogs. I work part time from home and am able to set my own schedule, so I am available to care for pets daily and on weekends. Our home has a fenced back yard and dogs are only allowed out of the fenced area on leash. Our home is pet safe, with garbage and chemicals all stored safely away. Food is kept protected. Our yard is sprayed with natural tick and flea deterrent, and we so not use any pesticides or harsh chemicals in our yard. I am respectful, clean and very detail-oriented, so will always strive to meet any expectations for your home that you set.
About: I have almost 24 years of experience working with a variety of animals in a variety of settings (clinics, shelters, boarding/doggy day care and pet sitting). I am working full-time at a veterinary clinic on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On those days, I would be with your pets in the morning before work and after work. On Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday then I would be with your pets full-time. Since I am caring for pets in their own home, I will follow the guidelines and rules that have been provided for their safety and protection.
“Nicole is amazing. When we planned or first big trip away, I worked hard on finding someone to walk Yukon. When the person we found decided to go back to school, I was excited for her, yet at a loss. With how hyper Yukon is, and his personality corks, I wasn't sure I could find a good match for him on such short notice. Nicole has been a huge blessing. I know Yukon is safe with her and she can manage his behavior with positive reinforcement. Yukon loved the walks and it's all been a big relief for us. Thank you for everything Nicole!”

“Sarah was absolutely fantastic with Kona. We especially loved that she asked to come meet Kona before our scheduled walks. We had her booked for two walks, and she even helped us out last minute with a third. We hope to work with Sarah again, and definitely recommend her.”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I can help with feeding, walks, bathing, exercise, and daily care while making sure each pet’s individual needs and routines are followed. I’ve cared for both energetic and shy pets, as well as dogs with disabilities. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, awareness, and building trust with pets who may need extra support. I always focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel happy and cared for. I treat every animal like my own and take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. Communication is also very important. I’ll send regular updates and photos throughout your pet’s care so you can feel confident knowing they’re safe, happy, and in good hands! I’m currently building my pet care business, so I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to pets in my care. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, and I also offer boarding depending on availability. I always try to be flexible and work with your pet’s routine and needs. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I pay close attention to their behavior, body language, and routine so they feel secure and relaxed. I make sure pets are always supervised, in a safe space, and handled gently. I follow all instructions closely and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they stay happy and active.
About: I have 5+ years of experience working in a dog daycare, in addition to caring for family and friends' pets since I was nine years old. My lifelong affinity for animals drives my dedication to their well-being and happiness. Over the years, I've developed a strong understanding of the importance of patience and empathy in providing exceptional care for pets. I'm working part time but, I'm overall fairly available on a day to day basis to help out with pet care needs and occasional overnight boarding. I am working on creating a daycare space in the basement to be able to provide boarding and day time care for the community (: I also can do basic baths & nail trims. My home is 10acres with a dog run, access to water, shelter and many sniffing spots to explore. Pups would stay in my room with me over night with frequent potty breaks during the day and play time in the run. I ensure that all animals are well fed, hydrated, and stimulated if they need to get rid of some energy. I love going on hikes and to water sources. I'm capable of more intense medical care such as medicine administration, wound care, etc.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fernwood
I can't say enough good things about the care she provided for Ellie. She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared about her, which gave me a lot of peace of mind on the days I had to be in the office. Ellie absolutely loved seeing her, and it was obvious from the beginning that she treated her as more than just another dog on her schedule. She was also great about keeping me updated and letting me know how the walks went, and I always knew Ellie was in good hands. I really appreciated the care, attention, and consistency she provided, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog.

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.

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.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
