Mike is an amazing dog walker, so great with my anxious dog Emma! He’s so patient and kind with her, she now lets him rub her belly - a miracle! I appreciate how thoughtful and considerate he is, even making arrangements for a replacement when he’s on vacation. Really puts my mind at ease knowing I have him to rely on during the day!

Margaret is a very patient and hard working woman! My dog is a rescue and very skittish of strangers. She barely lets anybody put on her harness. By day 2, Margaret was taking her on walks and my dog was playing with her when they got back! So as long as my dog is happy, I’m happy. Margaret is an excellent Rover dog care giver that will exceed needs and wants of your pet standards ❤️

About: I am an absolute lover of all dogs! All breeds, sizes, backgrounds and personalities. They make me truly very happy and I want to do the same for them.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs small and large since 2016 for family friends and neighbors. I have a real passion for animal care and my utmost priority is to make sure the well being of your pet is at an all time high. I’ve also gone through online training courses for dogs and cats detailing proper care techniques. Thursday afternoon's from four to six are my only recurring schedule block currently. I will update this when or if this ends up changing. I can tailor the visit to how best it is to fit your pet’s needs. On visits where a potty break is needed, they will be taken out and given treats and lots of love with some fresh water. On meal visits they will be given their meals and fresh water with lots of love as well. On overnight visits I follow the directions exactly and leave the place and the pet(s) looking and feeling better than when I arrived.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds, from tarantulas and fish to horses, donkeys, and just about everything in between! Whether your pet has fur, feathers, scales, or eight legs, I'm committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. I have extensive experience working with puppies, senior pets, and reactive dogs. I'm comfortable training puppies by reinforcing good habits and routines, administering oral and topical medications, and providing the extra patience and attention that senior pets need. I'm also known for my ability to build trust with reactive, anxious, or shy animals by moving at their pace and creating a calm, low-stress environment. Every pet is unique, and I treat each one like they're my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they're in experienced, capable hands. I pet sit full time so I am always available to take care of your pups! I am comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments. I am very respectful of your and your pet’s home, always following directions and daily care. I don’t offer boarding currently but I do offer overnight visits.

About: Hi! I have always loved working with pets. I have owned pets since I was a child and I have dealt with both cats and dogs. I spent time working at a doggy daycare called Ruff Housing and I got to learn further how to take care of a variety of dog types with a variety of personalities. I look forward to getting to spend some time with your pets and giving them all the love when you can't be there! I currently work from home and get to create my own hours so I will have plenty of time to spend time with your pets or make sure I am able to walk them. I enjoy taking some time to go on walks during the day so I would love to include your pet on them! I have a fenced in yard as well as access to a dog park and walking trail. I have two fur babies that love to play and will keep your pup entertained. I can crate dogs as needed! I am willingly to work with any requests to ensure your fur baby has the best time away from home and is safe and cared for in your absence.

About: As a family of animal lovers with past pet‑business experience, I know how to give pets the gentle, reliable care they deserve. Our own pup, Duke (1.5), is a special‑needs dog himself, so we truly understand patience, routine, and calm support. He’s playful, friendly, and loves making new furry friends at their own pace. I have plenty of time to play with your pet. I’m available every day after 4 PM, and on weekends we’re flexible as needed. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly dog who can keep your pup company if they enjoy that. I’m very comfortable caring for pets with special needs — whether they need a calmer environment, slower activities, medication, or extra reassurance. I always adjust to whatever helps them feel safe. They’ll get supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely and can send photo updates throughout the day.

Natalie is great with our pup! She brings her doggies to walk with our little pug (with permission of course) and it’s a big bonus to for her to meet new friends and socialize further. Very flexible, reliable and accommodating! Would definitely recommend Natalie to other pet parents without hesitation.

About: Hi!! I’m Kimberly 😊 A little about me: I’m a mom of three boys 💙 (a newborn, a 2-year-old, and a 7-year-old), so life is definitely full in the best way. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and that’s something my kids have naturally picked up too. They absolutely love animals and have learned to be gentle, kind, and respectful from a young age. I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years now, both personally and for others, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I grew up in a home full of pets. At one point we had 26 birds, 24 guinea pigs, 2 cats, and 3 dogs, so being around animals has always just felt natural to me. My faith is a big part of who I am and how I treat others. It guides me to be patient, attentive, and genuinely caring, not just with people but with every pet I’m trusted with. I understand how much they mean to you, and I take that responsibility seriously. We live in Mocksville, NC, and I’m in the Clemmons and Winston area often, so I’m very flexible depending on your location and needs. My husband is a U.S. Navy veteran, so we have a deep appreciation for those who serve and a special place in our hearts for military families. At the end of the day, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is being cared for with attention, patience, and genuine love while you’re away. I’m currently a stay at home mom, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. On weekdays, I do school drop off between 7:45am and 9:30am and need to be home again by 3pm for pick up. Outside of those times, I’m generally very open and able to accommodate visits and walks. If a drop-in or walk falls within those school hours, my kids may come along with me. They absolutely love animals and are always gentle, respectful, and happy to give your fur baby a little extra love and attention 😊 ⸻ Note: I’ve adjusted my 30 minute drop in and walking rate because I often find myself staying a little longer to make sure your pet truly gets the attention and care they need. In my opinion, 30 minutes can feel rushed, especially for pets who have been alone for a while. I never want your pet to feel hurried, so I do my best to include extra time whenever possible so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved on. My rate is flexible depending on your pet’s needs, so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m always happy to chat! I am very respectful of my home as well as others. I like to keep things clean and take pride in maintaining a well-kept space. I’m not one to pry, and I’m very self-aware, always making sure I’m being respectful of your home. I will treat your home the same way I would want my own to be treated. I’m great with following directions and instructions, and when it comes to your pets, I take my time to make sure their needs are fully met. You can definitely expect a bunch of updates and pictures while your furry or feathered babies are in my care.

About: I’ve had a passion for dogs and animals from a very young age and have spent most of my life around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience through owning, caring for, and training my own dogs while learning the importance of patience, consistency, structure, and building trust with every animal. For the past year, I’ve been working with dogs professionally through dog walking, pet sitting, basic obedience training, and daily care. During that time, I’ve continued developing my skills in canine behavior, leash handling, crate training, socialization, and positive reinforcement techniques. I’m especially passionate about helping dogs become confident, well-mannered companions while making sure they feel safe, exercised, and cared for. My experience as both a lifelong dog owner and a professional pet care provider has taught me that every dog is different and deserves individualized attention, compassion, and understanding. Whether working with puppies, high-energy working breeds, or family pets, I take pride in creating a calm, positive experience for both dogs and their owners. I work from home from 8AM to 5PM. So I have plenty of time in the morning and in the evening for feeding. I also have the freedom of taking breaks to play with your pets regularly. The safety, comfort, and trust of every pet in my care is always my top priority. I work hard to create a calm, structured, and positive environment where pets can feel secure, relaxed, and cared for like family. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routines, and comfort levels, so I take the time to build trust patiently and respectfully. Whether I’m walking, training, or pet sitting, I focus on maintaining safe handling practices, close supervision, clean spaces, and consistent routines. I pay attention to behavior, stress signals, and each pet’s individual needs to help them feel confident and comfortable while away from their owners. As both a lifelong pet owner and someone who works with animals professionally, I know how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Advance

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Advance on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,304 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Advance. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Advance. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Advance.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Advance. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
