About: I have 2 cats I've cared for since they were kittens and they are both extremely happy and healthy. I've helped petsit cats with behavioral issues, helped train my roommates dogs, and our old family dog as well. I've also helped neighbors with their pets since I was very young. I'm currently working part time, so I'm available outside of days I work. When I'm at home, I'm usually doing chores around the house or doing some crafts. Of course if my animals want attention, they get it, and so would yours. If I'm coming into your home to take care of your baby, I will treat the animal and environment respectfully. If your pet is shy, I'd take it slow with them until they were comfortable with me.
About: Available full time to watch your babies. I love dogs and I have always had 1or 2 myself. My husband and myself have bought an RV and we live in it in a campground but we do have yard space and lots of space for walking your loved ones. I have worked for 1 1/2 years at a veterinarian office. Let me take care of your pet for you and you'll not have to worry about them. I am a very reliable person. I love dogs of all kinds and of all ages. I can sit them in their own surroundings in their home or at my home. I can provide you with a reference if you would like. Dogs mean so much to me and I love to show them all the loving they need. I in NO way believe in animal cruelty, it is not in no way tolerated!! Pick me and you won't be sorry. I don't work outside the home so I'll have plenty of time to play with your baby which is right down my alley. I love animals! I can let your pet roam in my home if that is what they are used to and that won't bother me. I can also crate your pet if need be but only if you instruct me to do so. I also have a small fenced area for them to roam.
“I love Abigail. She is happy and upbeat. Both my dog and parrot love her. She arrives on time, takes Chloe for her walk. When they return from the walk, Abigail makes sure Chloe us settled in and then leaves.”
About: My experience for the last 7 years has been raising and training working search and rescue dogs. I also have a combined 10 years of volunteering and fostering with rescues and animal shelters. I especially love caring for senior dogs ensuring they are given their best years with the love and grace they deserve. As my jobs for the last 12 years have been working from home, I have time to also take care of your pets! My 3 dogs and 1 cat are my family and I understand the trust you need for me to take care of your family as well. If your dog is staying with me, they will enjoy 13 fenced-in acres with supervised exploration and playtime. When not outside playing, they will stay in my home with me. I also have heavy duty indestructible crates for those that need the extra help staying in their crate!
About: The services I offer are dog walks and check ins. I am currently 26 years old and graduated from UNCC in May of 2022. I have always loved animals ever since I was a little girl. I started caring for family and friends animals when I was 12 years old and will often help out friends and family when they need me to. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I will take the time to love and care for your animal like it was my own. I always try to go above and beyond whatever my task is. I hope to one day be able to care and love your animal as if you were there. I work part time during the week but I am free all day during the weekends.

About: I've had a love/passion for dogs since I was born into this life. Growing up, I've always had a dog in the house, so it easily became the norm for me. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds, including doberman, pitbulls, great dane, labs, boxers, beagles, and mutts. I truly love them all. I'm open to taking care of all breeds. I don't discriminate! One thing I will note is that I specialize in high energy/working dogs and am very familiar with larger breeds. Just to give you a quick example, I raised a Doberman from a puppy which led to me learning A LOT throughout the process. Doberman are a working breed and require plenty of mental and physical stimulation & I think I cracked the code! I’ve developed a deep understanding of what high-energy dogs need to thrive. I'm good at stimulating their minds, keeping them active and most importantly, happy. I'm not a certified dog trainer, but I do understand the importance of balancing their physical and mental well-being, and I'm dedicated to ensuring each dog has a great time with me! I'm very engaging and mindful, so whatever your dog may need, whether it's staying active outside or relaxing at home, I will do my best to provide. That's a promise. When it comes to availability, I am free at the moment. You can contact me any time and I will get back to you asap. I will make sure you feel comfortable with leaving your pets with me. To ensure you of this, I will send you daily photos & videos to show you how good of a time they're having! Also, you can give me a call ANYTIME. I know what it's like to drop my dogs off at a pet sitter's house, so my job is to give you the relief of knowing that your pets are in great hands. I can guarantee you this🙂

I always prioritize pets necessities and desires and have a job that allows me to work remotely while I take care of your pets at the same time!!! I also own a cat myself who I love and adore with all my soul lol. I would take your pet for a walk daily to ensure their built up energy is being used as well as give them special play time!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Albemarle is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $25 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Albemarle. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Albemarle after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Albemarle. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
