About: Designed for dogs who deserve more than a standard walk. Each outing is a personalized experience through the scenic parks and trails of Blowing Rock. From the carriage trails of Moses Cone to the peaceful paths around Broyhill Park, your dog will enjoy exercise and time outdoors in a safe, supervised setting. I love the outdoors and spend most mornings exploring our area's beautiful parks and trails. Your dog will enjoy the same mountain adventures, fresh air, and natural exercise. Door-to-trail service included. My focus is quality over quantity, providing reliable care, individualized attention, and enriching outdoor experiences that help dogs stay healthy, engaged, active, and genuinely happy.

About: Along with cats and dogs, I have cared for many exotics such as reptiles, rabbits, and guinea pigs. Your pets are family and I will care for them as if they are mine. I am currently a part-time sitter as I’m also a senior in college and work as a vet tech for an emergency clinic. Due to this, my schedule is constantly changing so my calander on rover isn’t always accurate, but I try to be as flexible as I can :) Owners are guaranteed to receive multiple pictures of the their pet(s) while in my care. I will follow the instructions given and always ask the owner first before an action if unsure.

About: Hello! I am Katrina. I am a recent graduate of Appalachian State University with a degree in Recreation Management and a double minor in Non Profit Organizations and Animal Sciences. I am located in Clover, SC. I absolutely adore animals; that love started from our family dog, my yorkshire terrier, Buddy. I have a lot of different availability so definitely feel free to contact me and so we can work something out. I love meeting new people and pets. I have not only taken care of my own dog but many of my friend pets as well. In addition to that, I have experience working at a doggy daycare and grooming salon along with field experiences from school with a multitude of farm animals. I am a super quick learner and am so excited to meet many new animals. :) I am Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid/CPR certified and Pet Emergency Academy Reptile, Amphibian, Avian, and Small Mammal Emergency First Aid Certified. I am looking to build my pet care experience with doing Rover along with my job. My schedule is flexible which is why I’m always open to communication, figuring out how I can help you and your pet. I will follow any instruction you give me. I am comfortable crating a dog if uncomfortable situations arise. Reading body language is something I think is super important and practice often when handling animals. Constant check ins while I am with your pet is also essential in my care.

About: I've lived with dogs throughout my whole life, which has given me lots of experience and appreciation for these pets. Additionally, I have experience with dog, bunny, and lizard sitting for locals in my neighborhood. I'm nurturing with pets and I enjoy giving the best experience possible for both the dog and the owner! I'm able to work with pets of all ages, energies and kind. If you have any questions about me or my dog care, please do not hesitate to reach out! Thank you :) I’m currently working part-time and I have plenty of time on weekends and during the week to take care of pets. I especially have time in the evenings, but I’m flexible and open to the pet and owner’s needs. I live in an apartment with no other dogs and can board, I could walk, drop in and house sit for owners. I am flexible to the needs of the pet and owner. The home is clean and decently spacious.

About: I have been caring for my now senior dog since she was a puppy and I was a child. I trained friends and family’s dogs on basic things like sitting and potty training. I worked at a kennel last summer and worked in the play time section, so I’ve learned what to watch out for when a dog is feeling uncomfortable or about to act. I love walking and allowing dogs to explore, I also don’t mind cleaning up after them ! Since starting college at least one of my roommates has always had a cat. I am a cat lover and love kittens or seniors! I’m a full time art student and part time server. I enjoy having a busy schedule and am very flexible! I can help out for as little as a check in or for as long as an afternoon sometimes. I tend to be proximity oriented to avoid missing anything. I’ll stay around them even once we’re done playing as I’ve learn my accident lesson !

About: Animals just relax around me. I’ve worked with many pet owners who are apprehensive to leave their pets with anyone due to the pet’s nervous temperaments, and other various quirks, and every single time the animals have surprised their owners by completely settling in with me. I prioritize play, love, and connecting with each individual pet I watch however they specifically need. I’ve looked after animals of all breeds, ages, & temperaments- from anxious & fussy older pets to energetic young puppies. I have experience administering medications to sick animals, hand feeding injured puppies, walking several pets at once, and managing dogs & cats that are a bit wild. I’ve even cared for lizards, turtles, fish, plants (haha), hamsters, birds, & rabbits. Whatever their needs, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, & at home while they’re with me. I am a potter who works from my home studio, and I make my own schedule- so I can generally be flexible and accommodate your pets needs. I love having pets in my home, and breaking away from my studio to get some fresh air and puppy/kitty love too! If I’m working on a big project, it’s nice to have to flexibility to come and go from my studio when possible, or have your pet there with me- but I have worked out all kinds of house sit/drop in/boarding arrangements according to the needs of clients and their pets. Let’s talk! I live in a peaceful home with a large fenced in backyard, and nice quiet streets to walk with your pet as needed. I will follow whatever routines you generally stick to and prefer when working with your animals. Give me all the details of your needs and preferences, boundaries and particulars- no matter what type of sit- so I can be sure you and your pet(s) feel a sense of trust, ease, and predictability.

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes! I grew up surrounded by dogs and spent much of my childhood helping my grandmother on her farm, caring for horses, goats, llamas, and plenty of other animals along the way. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I currently have two very loved cats of my own! I’m currently in graduate school for speech-language pathology, and my husband, Tim, and I would love to help care for your furry family members! We offer pet sitting in your home, drop-in visits, and boarding in ours. While my schedule varies with classes and clinical placements on some weekdays, Tim works from home and can help provide plenty of company, attention, and care for pets staying with us. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to accommodate their individual personality and routine. I’ll also gladly send pictures and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy and well cared for! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! I’m currently a graduate student studying speech-language pathology, so my daytimes are usually booked Tuesday through Thursday but am otherwise available! Fortunately as well, my husband, Tim, works from home, which gives us plenty of flexibility when caring for pets staying with us! Between the two of us, we’re able to provide lots of companionship, attention, and opportunities for walks, playtime, and relaxation throughout the day. I’m also available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting around my school schedule, including evenings and weekends when available. I’m happy to communicate ahead of time to make sure your pet’s needs and routine fit comfortably into our schedule. Our goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away! My husband and I live in a cozy three-bedroom home surrounded by beautiful woods and plenty of space to explore! Our home offers a peaceful, comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and receive lots of love and attention. We have two cats of our own, so we ask that pets staying with us be comfortable around cats. Although our property isn’t fenced, we have lots of lovely wooded areas nearby for supervised, leashed walks and outdoor adventures! Safety is always a priority, and pets will never be allowed to roam freely outdoors. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll be respectful of your space and do my best to maintain their familiar routines so they feel comfortable and secure. I know how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone else, and I’ll always treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own!

About: I've cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, fish, pigs, goats, chickens, and more. If you've got animals, I'm happy to chat about their needs! My routine is very flexible so my day and week can change to accommodate your pet's needs! I can drop in, walk, and play with your pet as often as is needed! My pet-sitting will be done in the client's home to avoid stressing the pet, keep them safe, and help them know that their owner is coming back. It establishes a good routine to have me come to them! When I come over, I come with their favorite treat in hand so they come to think of me as a special visitor. Then I meet their physical needs, like food, water, litter box, etc. For my dog friends, I get them on their walk right away to avoid accidents. We enjoy long or short walks depending on the owner's preference and the pet's health conditions. After our walk, we have some bonding time before I head out. I'll return at predictable times so pets can come to depend on me. Thank you for trusting me with your pet!

About: I have many years of experience in the veterinary industry and animal health, and I've cared for animals my whole life, including senior pets, puppies and kittens, birds, and small mammals. I offer pet care on the side as my schedule allows, and my goal is always to accommodate what your pet is used to. For house sitting, my standard rate covers overnight care with normal daytime absences. I stay overnight and am out during the day, with potty breaks as indicated, plus meals and playtime. Some pets need more than that. Puppies, seniors, pets on medication, and dogs with separation anxiety often do best with someone home nearly full time. I'm happy to provide that level of care, but it's priced separately since it limits the other bookings I can take. If your pet can't be left alone for long, just mention it in your request and we'll sort out the right rate at the meet and greet. I also offer drop-in visits and dog walking, which are booked and priced separately. I offer pet care on the side as my schedule allows, with availability for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. I keep my calendar current, so if my profile shows your dates open, I'm happy to help — reach out and we'll set up a free meet and greet. I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I have a dog and 3 cats who are my world - it is hard to entrust them with anyone else and I imagine this is true for you as well. I hope to earn both the trust and respect of both you and your pets!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Blowing Rock

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Blowing Rock is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $22 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 243 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Blowing Rock. 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 Blowing Rock. 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 Blowing Rock 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 Blowing Rock. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
