I have a fenced in front yard so your babies will be safe and protected! Our back yard is fenced in as well. They will be safe and protected!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. For the past few years, I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for their dogs and cats while they’re away, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, responsible, and understand how important it is for pets to stay on their normal routine. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I am working to start my own business, so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to step away from work almost anytime. I understand how important it is to be reliable and available. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I have experience working with younger dogs and reinforcing basic training, so I’m comfortable encouraging good behaviors while keeping walks fun and positive. If needed, I can safely crate your dog or cat according to your instructions. I love giving dogs plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. If your pet enjoys longer outings, I’d be happy to take them on walks at local spots like Apex Nature Park around Lake Pine or other pet-friendly trails, with your permission. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, well cared for, and receiving plenty of attention and affection while you’re away.
“Above and beyond! Avery is awesome - our first experience using Rover, and she has set the bar high! We signed up for recurring walks with Avery now for our 6 month old puppy. She is kind, responsible, prompt and clearly an animal lover! Trustworthy and so sweet with our puppy. Thanks Avery!”

I am available most weekdays except for Wednesday evenings and am available from early morning to late evening! When caring for pets in a clients home, I follow your rules first. I make sure to check in, go over home expectations, and learn your space and your pets.

Here’s a polished review you can post: Sriya is great! She is very good with communication and handles Simba really well. Simba is a large Golden Retriever who is still a puppy and gets very excited and tends to jump. Sriya handled him confidently and patiently. We felt very comfortable having her walk and care for him. Highly recommend her!
Absolutely amazing! Paid close attention to my pup’s wellbeing and put him first. Stayed in contact with updates and answered any and all questions I had. My pup came back so happy and tired and got so excited to see her the next day which is the sign of a great walker. Thank you so much!
David is an exceptional sitter who treats my dog like family. When she fell ill while I was away, he went above and beyond, providing dedicated care until she fully recovered. His professionalism and compassion gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend David for anyone seeking trustworthy pet care.
Courtney is outstanding, and definitely goes above and beyond. Our Cat and Dog absolutely loved her, and she did a great job taking care of them when we were out of town. She even went above and beyond and helped clean up an accident on the rug. Would definitely recommend Courtney for your pet-sitting needs!
Rebecca is a gem. You will not find a more patient dog walker. She met my dogs for the first time this week, both are poodles and are very energetic. She has a calming spirit about her and they adjusted within minutes and she was off walking them without a hitch. I completely recommend Rebecca for dog walking.
I was nervous using rover for the first time for a last minute trip, but Scott was terrific. He came for a meet and greet and C.C. took right to him. Scott was great about communicating and I loved getting the photos of my baby enjoying her walk. 100% recommend. I was at ease knowing my girl was taken care of while I was away.

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 Apex. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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.

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.
