Experienced dog walker/lover

Pet care experience

I have 12+ years experience as a dog walker and dog sitter in the Bay Area. After moving back to Fair Oaks, I'm looking forward to meeting some new dog pals. I have walked chihuahuas, Great Danes, and even a Timberwolf. I am a total dog person, and I take the needs of my furry friends seriously.

John is amazing! Molly can be challenging at times and be reactive with other dogs. He mastered being able to walk her through the entire neighborhood with no issues. Prompt, professional and knows dogs exceptionally well. Thank you John!

John is the best dog walker ever. He is so chill and even-keeled but also totally responsible, reliable, and on top of things. He has deep affection for the dogs he walks, but he maintains clear boundaries and authority. Our dog adored him. Our dog is not the easiest, but John managed him really well. John is also a super-nice guy and a pleasure to have around. I wish he was still our dog walker, but unfortunately he moved.

John was our regular dog walker (not through Rover at that time) for over 4 years when we lived in Oakland. We had him come to our house a few times a week to pick up our pup, who always came back tired and happy after walking and playing with his pack. I actually happened to see them from a distance on a walk one day and my little dog looked so happy trotting along a few big boys. John has a very calm and friendly demeanor. He is responsible, kind, and sensitive to pack dynamics and our dog’s individual quirks. Even though we moved away a few years ago, John still checks in occasionally. He obviously loves dogs and cared for ours as his own. We really miss having John walk our dog and I would recommend him without hesitation!
