“Kenny has been a true asset to the caring of our puppy Margie. We work in the city and needed someone to come by and walk her during the day. Kenny came for a meet and greet and Margie immediately warmed up to Kenny. He cares for Margie like she is his own and it is greatly appreciated!”
About: Hi! I’m Fiona, a lifelong dog lover and rescue dog mom. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 11, when my family got our first dog, who was part of our family for 11 years. Since then, I’ve continued dog sitting and walking for neighbors, friends, and family, and now have a rescue pup of my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all different sizes and personalities, from small breeds like Dachshunds to medium-sized mixed breeds and larger dogs, including Labs and Pit Bulls up to 90 lbs. My own rescue can be timid and cautious around new people, so I understand firsthand that every dog has their own personality, boundaries, and comfort level. I take a patient, fear-aware approach and believe in meeting dogs where they are rather than forcing interaction before they’re comfortable I currently work remotely 3x a week, with only 2 days I’m the office. When I’m working remotely, I’m available all day. On the days I work in the office, I am available in the evening Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions and routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any specific household or safety guidelines. I understand that every dog has different boundaries and comfort levels, so I take a patient approach and allow them to interact with me at their own pace. During walks, I’ll always keep dogs securely leashed and remain attentive to their surroundings. I’ll also provide updates and photos during each visit so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away

“I am very thankful for Karina’s availability to walk my dog twice a day on New Years’ Eve. She was very communicative throughout the whole day and fed my dog per my request. My doggy was very calm for the rest of the night and I think he really enjoyed the walks and time with Karina. She even brought in my package inside since it was raining! Thank you so much! I look forward to requesting Karina in the future when I have long events!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Island Park
Angela is amazing! My dog Millie is very nervous around new people and very dog reactive. We just moved to the area and I was so nervous about trying to find someone who could walk and play with her on days I work late. I am so thankful I found Angela! She is AMAZING with Millie and goes above and beyond to give her the best time and accomodate all of her quirks. I highly highly recommend and would trust Angela with any pet!
Kenny and his wife were fantastic with my dog, Reese. It was our first time using a dog walker, and both of them were so helpful throughout. It meant a lot that Kenny took the time to ask about Reese and any special things he needed on the walk, and he always sent a proper report afterward so we were kept in the loop. Reese took to him right away and came home happy. I wouldn't recommend anyone over Kenny, and will continue using him in the future!
Karla did an amazing job walking my dog, Jr. She brought along her dog, Woody, and the two dogs had a fantastic time together. It was clear that Karla is caring, attentive, and great with dogs. Jr came home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed after a fun and engaging walk. I really appreciated the extra socialization and companionship Woody provided. I highly recommend Karla to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog walker!
Janelle is the best sitter we have ever worked with. Our cat and dog are so important to us, and trusting them with Janelle is such a relief. Reliable, kind, trustworthy. We rebook Janelle whenever needed, and feel so lucky to have such a warm presence watching over our pets.
