“Karen is delightful and Hudson just adores her. She was very personable and followed directions for taking care of Hudson to a “T”. I will trust her explicitly to take care of Hudson the Golden Retriever.”
“We've used Rover's dog walking service for the first time and the experiance with Angie was great! She was quick to respond and very pleasant to talk to. Angie was profesional, she took her task above and beyond, spending more time with our dog to make sure he's ok before she leaves. She even took care of our mail! Thank you Angie for your excellent work and dedication! We highly recommend her service.”
“Trevor was an excellent communicator, made himself readily available, and kept the gig even when it turned out the app had misrepresented the distance between us and he had a 50-minute drive one way just to take my dogs on a walk!”
“Wow- Marcia not only impressed us with her quick and effective communication, but also her impression as a responsible confident Dog Walker! We will definitely be using her again!”
About: Ive been a pet sitter since I was 16 but I’ve always had cats and/or dogs. I started recently helping a military friend when her dog sitter’s didn’t show or canceled and i love it! I work part time so I can do walks or visits before or after work. I only work a few hours a day a few days a week! We currently have a cat and my mom stays home all day with her. We feed her twice a day and keep fresh water out. She loves to play!
“Morgan was wonderful. She took my last‑minute request while I’m recovering from an injury and handled my big, energetic dog with confidence and care. She sent photo updates throughout the walk, which was such a comfort. Consistent and warm communication, reliable, and truly a huge help. I’d book with her again. Highly recommend.”
“Debbie was great with our dog while we were away! She kept me in the loop the whole time and took amazing pictures. She's definitely at the top of our list for future dog services!”

About: I am a dog sitter for neighbors and trusted friends! I am reliable and attentive, and love dogs with my whole heart. I also have a dog myself!! I have grown up surrounded with different dogs and would love to make sure you’re pet is comfortable when you’re not there! I love being outside, whether it’s going on walks or hikes, so pet care fits perfectly into my week. Taking care of dogs is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive hands on experience with a wide variety of pets. I've had pets my whole life and have cared for them through everything, from administering medications and bathing them to all the usual daily care. My background includes working on a farm where I cared for the goats, cows, chickens, and a little barn cat! so I'm comfortable with many different kinds of animals. My schedule is primarily open in the afternoons, but I get off fairly early, which allows me that flexibility to provide the attention and care pets need whenever required. I'm currently working part time! I work morning shift so i'm always free in the evenings! I get off no later than 3PM! Which leaves time for me to spend the evening loving and caring for your pets! I always ask owners about their dog's specific preferences and routines to ensure their comfort and happiness during their stay. I'll make sure to note down exactly what your dog enjoys and how they like to spend their time and energy, all while keeping the home tidy and the pets happy.
“Delaney is incredibly sweet with our dog and always makes sure he gets a nice long walk in the afternoon. She always makes sure to leave an adorable picture and a cute note about their afternoon walk as well. Odin has been a little shy since this is his first time with a dog walker but Delaney has been very patient and gentle with him and he is starting to look forward to their walks together 😊”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Albemarle Acres
Angie was very responsive and communicative. I haven’t gotten a dog walker in years and was worried about selecting the wrong person but Angie was the best choice. She was on time, understanding, and provided solid feedback. I would rebook her services if ever needed again.
I’m always anxious finding the right sitters and walkers for my pups since my Shih Tzu is close to being 13 years old. Mackenzie and Brenden are seriously the best. They came to meet the dogs initially before the first booking just to get to know them and so they knew any details they needed on how to care for them. They send tons of pictures and my dogs seems so happy when I get home from work . Thank you guys for being great 💗

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 Acres. 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 Acres after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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 Acres. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
