About: Hi, I’m Ashlyn! I’ve worked in a kennel caring for over 700 pups and over 40 cats with a great team of people! Now, I currently work at a different kennel full time as a doggy hotel crew-member. From old pups, puppies, and cats I am experienced in safety protocols and effective animal care! DAY PLAY & BOARDING: - I am available 7 days a week, my schedule can vary depending on if I’m away traveling or if I’m already taking care of another pet. Dogs will have a fun & safe atmosphere to play, sleep, and eat! If you choose to drop off your pup(s) to stay overnight I have a doggy pool for them to cool off in during hot days, and they will have plenty of space to have all-day zoomies if desired! If you prefer sitter to pet sit a your home, apt. Etc. I am willing to 100% accommodate to your pup(s) schedule making sure they are able to have their normal routine and plenty of cuddles! Any allergies & medication they have will be noted and cared for appropriately. I am experienced with dog safety protocols and how to act in case of emergency.

About: Hi, I’m Maylan! I would love the opportunity to provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether that’s energetic puppy care, patient senior support, or helping shy pets feel comfortable. I have experience with feeding routines, potty breaks, exercise, and keeping pets calm and comfortable while owners are away. As a college student with a strong passion for animal care, I focus on safety, communication, and treating every pet like family. I have years of experience taking care of my own pets as well as neighbors, friends, and those I had the pleasure of meeting along the way. I am currently working full-time while also in school part time. My time for pets is not as open as it used to be. If your pet can go a work day (around 8:30am-5:30pm) without needing a potty break then I would be happy to pet sit for you! Otherwise, I am available weekends. In the clients home I follow each pets normal schedule to make everything run as smoothly as possible and keep them feeling safe and comfortable while their pawrent is away. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and yard clean up. For drop-in visits and overnight stays the same applies.

About: I’ve had dozens of different animals since I was young. Ranging from farm animals, domestic animals, parrots and reptiles. Medication administration experience and bottle feeding as well. No care details are too extra or complicated. I am open to sitting any type of animal! I am home full time aside from errands with my little ones. I have a mini farm as I call it. Dogs, chickens, cats, ducks and more. I am outside majority of the day. We do love going to the park where my bulldog enjoys the dog area as well, so if you’re ok with it, trips to the park may be part of your pets stay! My farm is not completely fenced in, but I do have a fenced in area attached to the front of the house for the animals with plenty of space! I have a very long gravel driveway away from the main road. I have leads, collars, harnesses and cages if needed. I have baby gates in home if needed as well. My two dogs love everyone, they can just be overly friendly! Our oldest cat’s go outside a lot, so they are usually busy all day. Our youngest cat loves to play with everyone including dogs, but likes to stay inside. My female dog is not spayed, un neutered males will either be supervised or separated at night time.

About: I've had dogs for over 15 years and a cat for almost 10 years and love taking care of them. I currently have 1 older cat living with me and he is very kept to himself. He's a sweet little guy who isn't bothered by other animals as long as they don't bother him! My availability is any time between classes which are scattered throughout my week. This is a small part time job I've taken for fun while going through my medical school journey so I spend most of my time studying. However, I will happily take your pet to a nice study spot! I'd also love to spend my study breaks on walks or runs with your furry baby! I am very flexible with timing and cancellations. Though I don't have professional experience, I have been around animals all my life. I'm very good at following directions and love learning new things. If the dog has special necessities, I am willing to accommodate. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a student. I often take dogs with me to quiet, dog‑friendly study spots, and I use my study breaks for walks, playtime, or runs. Because my class schedule is scattered, I’m very flexible throughout the week and can adjust care times as needed. Spending time with pets is a fun and refreshing part of my day. I care for pets by sticking closely to their regular routine and following all instructions for feeding, walks, meds, and special needs. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and comfort through walks, playtime, or relaxed hang‑out time. In my home, I have one older cat who mostly keeps to himself and does well around other animals as long as they don’t bother him. If needed, he can be comfortably kept separate in a bedroom he’s used to. I always aim to keep things calm, clean, and stress‑free for both pets and owners.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and always find myself drawn to them. As a young woman searching for my purpose, I want to spend my time doing what fulfills me. I have been pet sitting for my friend who has a dog aggressive dog, and enjoy spending the quality time with her. I will always give exceptional care and focus on forming lasting friendships with the animals in my care. Friendships that last longer than a meet and greet or drop-in visit. I am always looking out for the pet and putting their needs first. I pay attention to animal behavior and never push past their limit, to ensure a good relationship is being built. My primary goal is to make sure the client and pet are comfortable. I currently am not in school or employed as I recently moved to the area. I have lots of time on my hands to spend with your baby. I will always put the pet's needs first, and ensure I keep their schedule the same as my client does for them. I care for the animal and the home and keep it just as I found it.

About: Have owned my own dogs and cats over the years. As they've grown older and passed on, I have satisfied my love for animals by caring for my kids' pets when they go on vacation. I've gone to their house and stayed, but also they have stayed in my home while mom and dad are away. We go for walks, and I have a fenced in yard and doggy door them to come and go as they please. Like my grandkids: I love having them and playing, but I also love the flexibility of sending them back to mom and dad! I am a retired teacher and am home most days. I have various errands during the day, or other things, but nothing that would interfere with visiting guests. I no longer have a dog of my own but our visiting fur babies ( and the grands) have a fenced yard with doggy door. Dogs are secure inside the back yard. I care for one dog, that loves the back yard and wants to stay out all day, weather permitting. He is safe and secure there with water and shade, and comes in when he is ready. But most of the dogs come inside. They are free to go out to play and do their business.

About: I've spent the past 8 years caring for my own Belgian Malinois/Dutch Shepherd dog, Atlas, so I'm very familiar with dogs that have lots of energy and need plenty of exercise and attention! I've also helped care for friends' dogs over the years, including walking a friend's dog four days a week for several months. My experience with dog sitting actually goes back to my teenage years! I've always loved dogs and really enjoy getting to know their different personalities. Whether it's going for a walk, playing, or just spending time together, I want to make sure every dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your dog and become someone you can count on, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands while you're away! I recently went back to school and am in the middle of a career transition, which has given me some extra flexibility in my schedule that I’d love to use for dog walking and help with drop-by visits. I'm happy to coordinate times that work best for you and your dog! When caring for pets in someone else's home, I'm always mindful and respectful of my surroundings. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, so I make it a priority to follow any instructions or routines. I also do my best to keep your pet's living areas clean, safe, and comfortable, and will always treat your home with the same care and consideration I would my own!

About: Growing up, I had plenty of cats and dogs, both trained and untrained. I treat fur babies like literal humans, they deserve it. I love to cuddle with animals, play outside, or just be lazy together. I work for myself so I make my own schedule. Therefore, it isn’t hard for me to make arrangements to keep a pet or go and hangout. I have no fur babies as of now (mine recently passed) so you won’t have to worry about your pet being in a fight or hurt by the paws of any animal of mine. My home is on an acre of land with only one neighbor. I have a screened in back porch if the animal loves to sunbathe. I make it a priority to learn any pet I encounter.

About: With over three years of professional experience working at NoDa Bark & Board, Lucky Pup, and Camp Bow Wow, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. My responsibilities included supervising group play, administering medications when needed, feeding, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and ensuring every dog stayed safe and comfortable throughout the day. I’m also Dog and Cat CPR certified, so your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to build trust while providing plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. As of right now, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I’m currently between jobs while waiting to begin graduate school in the spring, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. Toward the end of August, I’ll begin substitute teaching, but my availability will still remain flexible outside of school hours. Whether your pet needs daytime visits, overnight care, or weekend attention, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. Having worked professionally in multiple doggy daycare facilities, I’m experienced in reading canine body language, preventing conflicts, and responding calmly in stressful situations. As a Dog and Cat CPR certified caregiver, I’m prepared to handle emergencies if they ever arise. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love while keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I always emphasize safety as well as making pets feel loved. To me, a pet is a member of the family and will always be treated as such. I currently have a part-time job and I am not in school, so my schedule is fairly flexible. Even when juggling multiple jobs, I still make time to care for my own pets at home. I always make sure they are in my line of vision and are being safe. I pay attention to their needs first and foremost by making sure they are properly fed and have water available at all times. I then give attention to their wants by seeing if they want to play, rest, etc.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Cape Fear

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Cape Fear is $21 per walk as of October 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 October 2026, there are 4,039 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cape Fear. 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 your Cape Fear. 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 , 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 Cape Fear 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cape Fear. 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
