Your pet's safety is my priority.
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)
Reviews
Zan is wonderful w our young pup, Zalie, and has been super patient with her puppy tendencies and needs. Zalie loves her time w Zan and always comes home well exercised and content! I also love the photos and notes post-walk! Thank you, Zan!
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!
My pupper can be a little quirky and difficult with walks and walkers. This has made searching for a dog walker a bit stressful. The meet and greet with Zan went way better than expected. Zan interacted in a calm, comfortable manner while clearly reading and responding to what was happening with Buttercup. Buttercup has been on two walks with Zan so far and everything has been smooth…again, better than expected. I feel really lucky that we found Zan and am happy that Buttercup will get to have regular walks with them.
Zan was fantastic! This was our first time leaving our pup at home with a sitter and we were pretty anxious about it, but Zan gave Milo excellent care and enrichment, and made sure to assuage our worries with detailed summaries of all of their visits, complete with plenty of pictures. They even gave our kitties some love as well! Zan was communicative and prompt, and very accommodating on rather short notice. We’d happily recommend them to anyone!
About Rowan D.
Communication
Skills
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.
