“Natascha was an amazing rover for Kirk! He enjoyed being walked by her so much, he walked more then the will let me walk him. Very understanding and great with Kirk and his shyness of other dogs!”
“Constance was amazing! I’m very happy I chose her. She explains every detail about what was done or not during the walk, and adds lots of pictures (which I loved the most). We will definitely be contacting her again to walk our dog when needed. Thank you so much!”
“Amanda is so sweet and takes extra care when it comes to pups. Our little nuggets, Apollo and Cassie, adore her and she was really accommodating to their different on-leash walking styles. Thank you, Amanda!”
About: Experienced, loving dog walker with a lifelong passion for animals! Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long adventure, or just some extra attention during the day, I’m here to help. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always tailor each walk to their needs. Reliable, friendly, and happy to provide updates and cuddles along the way! I am a stay at home mom that is home all day everyday. I have lots of time to care for and play with your pet! I have a large home with an entire room upstairs for litter box, play, and food & water. My downstairs also has a cat water fountain. There are toys throughout the house as well as two cat trees for them to use. I have a 2 year old bengal and two kids who absolutely love and adore cats. Your fur baby will be at home in my home!
“Codi did an amazing job with our miniature schnauzer and older collie mix - individually spending time with each one to ensure were taken care, and being flexible with our vacation schedule. We feel truly lucky to have had her watch our pups, and will go to her first anytime we need a dog sitter!”
About: I have three cats and have a fairly flexible schedule. I’m a positive person and who enjoys gardening, going on walks, and being outside. I’m enjoying my retirement and have a flexible schedule! I typically wake up around 7 in the morning, get ready for the day, and work in my yard as needed/wanted. I feed my cats daily and give fresh water twice daily. I brush my cats weekly or as needed. The cats have toys they play with on their own and I use the laser toy when the cats want to play. They have a scratch post well.
About: I’ve been a pet owner for the past decade and have plenty of experience dog/cat sitting for different friends and family. I love animals and enjoy caring for and playing with them while becoming their best bud I’m currently working a job Mon-Thurs with fluctuating hours, but I am typically free after 12pm to take care of any furry friends. I live in a two story house with plenty of clean space in the first floor for a dog to relax and trot around. Upstairs are where all the bedrooms are and if any pups are iffy with stairs, we have a baby gate ready to be used! I live very close to a park good for walks
About: My bootcamp program for my dogs is the perfect combination of love, fun, exercise and discipline. I have taken care of dogs my entire life! I specialize in smaller dogs, but I love all dogs equal. I plan to have only 1 or 2 dogs at a time. I work part time and have weekends off and I will have an assistant to help part of the day, while I'm away at work. So I will have lots of time with your fur baby. Your pets will be inside my home most of the time. If your dog is well behaved, I usually will take your pet with me.
“My dogs just love Solace! She is a skilled animal handler (yes, big doggies included). She is firm and kind and loving as well as highly reliable. I cannot recommend Solace enough 😎👏🏼”
“Bobbi was amazing with Dewey and I felt confident of her character and integrity right from the start! She loved my little guy and helped me out with daily walks when my regular plan fell thru! Thank you, Bobbi! Dewey thanks you too! Robin”
About: I've been pet sitting for about 4 years! Mostly cats and dogs, but the occasional chicken, duck, bearded dragon, parrot and guinea pig! I've administered pet's required medicines, fed, walked, and played with lots of pets! I can also do light cleaning and watering plants for you too! I'm currently going to college! I can watch your pets daily at just about any time! Thursdays & Fridays are my busy days where I wouldn't be with your pets the whole day. Thursdays & Fridays I'd be able to be with your pets for a few hours in the morning then be back about 4 pm! Don’t hesitate to ask about pet sitting or drop‑in dates, even if my calendar appears unavailable. I'll be offering in home pet sitting at your home, drop ins, & dog walking!

About: I am good with all animals, both cats and dogs have been in the family for years. Caring for them is a pleasure for me. I am retired and have lots of time to commit to companionship. I enjoy hiking and walking, companionship on those walks would be very nice. I have acreage with plenty of room to play. Our home is open for pets to roam, we don't cage any animals at our house.
“Fantastic walker. She is so kind and you can tell just how much she loves animals. As it’s been getting hotter, she has made sure to check pavement temperatures so it isn’t too hot and is so flexible with making the walks earlier when it’s cooler. Really impressed and absolutely fantastic!”
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fernwood
Nicole and her son have been absolutely wonderful. I cannot speak highly enough of them. I have a very anxious dog, and Nicole has been so patient, persistent, loving, and kind throughout the entire process. She is always prompt, sends pictures, keeps me updated, and even works with my other puppy on behavior. I highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, honest, trustworthy, and exceptional pet care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Fernwood on Rover is $21 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 11,575 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:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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.
