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.

Information Rowan D. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

A typical day for me includes around two to three playgroups or walks with dogs. After pick ups I like to take the pack somewhere they can have the freedom to be dogs. I love to run around and play fetch as well as go for hikes. New England is beautiful during every season, rain or shine! I walk anywhere from five to ten miles a day so if your dog needs to stay on-leash, I'm prepared to put the steps in on a nice long walk instead.

Pet care experience

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)

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.
