Pet care experience

Your pet's safety is my priority.

Hi, I'm Rowan! I am a full time dog walker and pet sitter, and I genuinely love my job. I do groups as well as solo walks, have experience with dogs of all sizes, and will accommodate to your animals' specific needs. I am certified in pet first aid and also have experience administering medication. If you prefer to have your dog wear a doggy seat belt, that's an option! If your dog needs to be given lunch after the walk, I can do that! Communication and reliability are of utmost importance to me. Message me to start a conversation about how I can improve you and your pets' lives! (My pronouns are they/them/theirs)

Safety, trust & environment

I have clients with fenced yards where I do play-groups, I'm a native North Shore hiker and dog owner with insider knowledge on all the best dog friendly walking locations, and I drive a Subaru Forester for optimal transportation for your pup. When picking up/dropping off or staying with your pet, I will leave your home exactly as I find it and with happier creatures inside.

Rowan is a phenomenal dog walker! He arrived on time, spent extra time with my dog, and made sure to bring him home safely. I highly recommend him!

It’s hard to believe that my pup has been walking regularly with Rowan for almost 2 years, but it’s safe to say that we all love Rowan. They are reliable, a great communicator, and easy to work with. Most importantly, they are great with the pup. It’s heartening to see how happy and comfortable my sometimes slow-to-warm-up dog is with Rowan. It was clear from the beginning that Rowan has a strong ability to build rapport with pups, both in making a connection and providing clear expectations, and that has become even more evident over time. So happy to have Rowan as part of our team. ❤️

Rowan is the best. We have been so impressed with their consistency, reliability, and care for our dog. They leave great reports after walks, and are so loving with our beloved pup. Cannot recommend them enough.

House Sitting • Feb 26, 2023

Zan asked great questions during our meet n’ greet and left our house in great shape, even unfortunately having to shovel snow during our time away! Our pups seemed happy and tended to on their normal routine, wagging and relaxing in all the pictures sent to us, even our anxious one that sometimes needs unique accommodating. Pleased to have Zan help us out!

Information that is important for me to have prior to caring for your dog is their weight and size, aggression level, energy level, and temperament with other dogs. I would also like to know your comfortability with your dog traveling in my car and other needs.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
