About: I've been pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was 16 and have been around dogs my entire life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets of all ages and personalities. I have volunteered with animal rescues since I was 12, fostered numerous dogs and cats, and am comfortable providing basic medical care, including oral medications, eye drops, injections, and subcutaneous fluids when needed. I treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, extra patience, or specialized care, I'm dependable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I'm currently taking online classes during the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets. In the fall I will be returning to in person classes, however my schedule will still allow me to be a reliable care giver for your pets and satisfy all of their needs! I understand that trusting someone with your pets and home is a big decision. I treat every home with respect and follow your pets routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I am experienced in administering oral medications, eye drops, some injections, and fluids when needed. Whether your pet loves to play, needs extra patience, or requires special care, I'll provide reliable, attentive care and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit.
“Ryana and Safiyyah are the best! They are so sweet and patient with my nervous puppy and have been lifesavers taking him for a walk when I’m at work. Will absolutely keep hiring them!”
About: I've grown up around animals for most of my life and have experience caring for both big dogs, small dogs, and cats. I grew up with 3 beagles, and have also helped neighbors, friends, and family care for their pets over the years. This has given me experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. I'm comfortable caring for dogs with medical needs and administering medications when necessary. I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide your pets with the attention and care they deserve. I will be at your home for the majority of the time, only popping out occasionally to grab food or run quick errands. I can easily adjust my day as needed for walks, potty breaks, feedings, playtime, and medication schedules. When I stay in your home my biggest priority is ensuring that your pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable while in my care. I pay close attention to each pet's normal routine, energy level, and feeding schedule, as well as any special instructions so they can stay as stress free as possible. I'm experienced with walks (both fast paced and slow), potty breaks, playtime, crating if needed, and giving pets space when they need it. Expect regular updates and photos from me, so you're never out of the loop!
“We can always count on Lucas to take good care of our quirky girl! He is incredibly responsive and goes above and beyond. We have used him several times. This past time our dog had been showing a minor limp and he even updated us on when he noticed it throughout her walk.”
“Sierra was fantastic with our dog! She was communicative with us and sent us beautiful photos of our dog on their walks! It was obvious he felt totally comfortable and happy with her. We’re grateful for her work and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Charles does 3x weekly walks for my pup and has been absolutely great. He is reliable, easy to communicate with about any schedule adjustments, thoughtful in his care, and my doggo is always extra happy on the days he comes by. Despite him claiming to be a cat whisperer, he’s pretty darn great with dogs too! I absolutely recommend his services.”
About: I have been absolutely obsessed with animals since I was a tiny baby! I volunteer at the Animal Protection Society of Durham, and dog/ cat sit for friends and family! I am currently going to Wake Tech for Psychology. I’m taking majority online classes, so my schedule is pretty free and I am very flexible I have two dogs of my own which I take care of. They don’t necessarily get along with cats which is why I don’t own one.
“Thanks Henley for taking my doggie on her dog walks. You do a great job of listening/observing the needs of my 15 year old dog to make adjustments to her walking needs. I look forward to continued recurring walks with you!”
About: I'm not a professional with fancy certifications, but I am a dog person. I owned and raised my pit mix from puppyhood for 13 years—so I know what it takes to care for a dog properly, keep them happy, and build real trust. The biggest advantage? I work from home. That means while I'm watching your dog, they're never alone for long stretches. They get consistent attention, regular breaks outside, and someone who actually cares about their wellbeing—not just a checkbox on a care log. Your dog won't just be watched; they'll be treated like they matter to me, because they will. I work from home, which is the real game-changer here. Pet sitting isn't a side hustle for me—it's something I can genuinely fit into my day without it feeling rushed or like a checklist. When I'm watching your dog, I can check in throughout the day, take them out for bathroom breaks, keep them company during work calls (the calm kind), and make sure they're getting the attention they need. No long gaps where they're waiting alone wondering when someone's coming back. It's flexible too. I can work around your schedule—early morning, afternoons, weekends—because I'm home anyway. Your dog gets consistency and care without me having to squeeze them into an already-packed day. In my home: Your dog gets a safe, comfortable space where they're never alone for long. I work from home, so I'm there throughout the day—letting them out for bathroom breaks, keeping them company, and making sure they have water and a calm environment. They'll be treated like they're part of my routine, not an inconvenience. In your home: I respect your space and your dog's routine. I follow your instructions on feeding, walking, medication, or anything else specific to your dog's needs. I'll send updates so you know exactly what's happening, and I treat your home with the same care I'd want for mine. Either way: Safety and trust are everything to me. I know what it's like to care deeply about a dog—I had mine for 13 years. Your dog won't just be fed and let outside; they'll get genuine attention and someone who actually notices if something's off.
About: I have been taking care of family and friends pets since I was 13. I focus on building a personal connection with every dog, offering customized care that fits their needs and individual personalities. I also provide constant updates, so you never miss a wagging tail or happy moment. To me your dog isn’t just a pet, they’re family. I am currently a part-time Disney travel agent, and full-time dog mom. I have fairly open availability and flexibility to fit you and your pet’s needs. Accepting Drop-In and Walk requests between the hours of 9:30am-4pm When pets stay in my home, they’re treated just like family! I create a cozy, pet-friendly space full of room to play or relax. I live on the first floor of my apartment complex, so pets with mobility issues won’t have any issues. I’ll also stick to your pet’s routine - feeding, walks, and cuddle time - so that they feel as comfortable as possible. Plus I’ll be sure to give them plenty of attention and affection ensuring they have a fun and safe stay.
“Justice came for a meet and greet ahead of time which eased a lot of anxiety…He arrived on time each morning, walked my dogs, sent pictures and a report each morning immediately at completion of my dogs walk…They felt comfortable immediately with Justice…His very calm demeanor and love of animals showed thru in all that he did thru the week… I feel very comfortable giving him the highest recommendation and would glad utilize his services again in the future…”
About: Being extremely attached to my own dog and cats, I understand how hard it is to be away from them! You can rest easy, I will care for your animals as if they were my own. Big and small, cat and dog, I love them all! Please note: I only accept dogs in my home for boarding that have been around cats and are known to be cat-friendly. I work a flexible schedule, and come check on your pets morning, evening and possibly also mid-day. Let me know what you need and I will make it work. I can either come to your house to let your pet stay in his/her own environment or if they come to my house to stay, they will join my menagerie for their visit. I have kitties, so they must be cat-friendly. At my house, the day starts with a potty break in my fenced yard, followed by a 20-minute walk either in the morning or at lunch time. There is a second walk of a at least 20-minutes after work around 7 and potty breaks, pets and treats on my work breaks. There are pet beds all over the house, kitties to play with and my dog Sadie (a mix, around 50lbs). My pets range at night but guest pets have to be crated at bedtime. I can put the crate in my bedroom if it will make your pet more comfortable.
About: As a healthcare professional, I understand the importance of patience, reliability, and paying close attention to individual needs. I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including my own senior dog, so I'm comfortable following detailed routines, administering medications when needed, and giving extra attention to older pets or those with special needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants a calm companion, I'll tailor my care to their personality and routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I'll treat your furry family member like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. I intentionally schedule my days to provide dependable pet care. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or sitting, I make sure every pet receives personalized attention, exercise, companionship, and plenty of love while their owner is away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions, provide plenty of attention and affection, and keep a close eye on your pet's well-being. I also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

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 Blands. 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. 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.
