“Kelly was great! I have a small breed terrier mix puppy with separation anxiety and that is still learning some leash training. I cannot walk as fast as Maddie needs and so it was great to have someone that can walk faster or run with her. The hand off went great as well. Maddie was comfortable going with Kelly and happy when she returned. I’m so thankful that she was able to get the walk in that I can’t give her Due to my disabilities. I would definitely use her again.”

“Alessandra is a GEM! She is kind and gentle and knows how to make our anxious little dog feel safe. She is very conscientious and made sure she understood the details of Lou's routine (including his medication), which put me completely at ease. Alessandra gives our dog the same loving care that we do, and I'm so glad to have found her!”

About: In addition to taking care of dogs, I can usually teach them a trick or two! I've been around animals my whole life, and I enjoy the company of any critter. Fun fact: my family has always had Boston Terriers, so I have a soft spot for our short-snouted friends! I currently work a full time job at UNC 9-5 M-F, but I am free nights and weekends and can always use my mornings/lunch break to check on your furry friends in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro/Durham area. I do have a small dog at home, so I can’t spend the night unless she is allowed to come with me. I like to ensure that pets get the appropriate amount of exercise needed for their size and age. This means I will take the time to play with your pets indoors or outdoors, and ensure that bigger dogs have longer walks to get all their energy out. Either way, your pets will have a great time with me! I’m open to whatever the needs of your pets are, just let me know what their usual routine is.

About: I have two cats and a small dog at home that I bathe, walk, clean up after and cuddle! I currently work at a doggy daycare and boarding kennel. I am passionate about pet care and comfortability and I am committed to brightening your favorite family member's day! No matter the breed, size, age or temperament, every pet deserves the best care. I am currently working part-time and attending classes on Tuesday and Thursday, but I am available for nighttime check ins on those days. I am very patient and understanding, so please just communicate anything you need and I will work with you! I am currently staying in a dorm and am unfortunately unable to board pets. I am able to provide your pet with any kind of care in-home that you need, whether that is administering medicine, puppy care, training practice, basic necessities and, of course, play time! I am also available for house cleaning and general chores as requested.

Rosa sent a photo and update with every walk, which gave us so much peace of mind. Moose was clearly well cared for, and we would highly recommend Rosa and book her again.”

About: Ive grown up with animals my whole life, I started walking my family dog and cleaning up after my family cats when I was pretty young and Ive been doing it ever since! I take care of my own dog, and I have also had experience house sitting and dog walking for friends and neighbors. Im currently in school at Alamance Community College, and I have class 9-5 every Tuesday and Thursday. Other than that and the occasional appointment I am pretty open :) I like to follow a timely schedule with my dog (when I feed her, when I walk her, when I take her out, etc.) But of course it isn’t always perfect, and I am willing to adapt to any specific instructions/ guidelines.

About: I’ve been my neighborhood pet sitter since I was 8 years old, and since coming to college I’ve missed being around so many furry friends! I have two cats, Casper and Toothless, who I love dearly and have taught to do fun tricks like sitting and spinning. I grew up taking care of all kinds of dogs from German shepherds to jack russel terriers to Pomeranians—and other animals like ferrets and fish—so know that your loved ones will be well-cared for! I am a graduate student taking only four classes, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pet! I can do early mornings, mid-afternoons, and evenings—whatever your furry friend needs. I believe that one of the most important parts of caring for your pets is creating and maintaining a trusting relationship with both them and you. For home access protocol, I always securely store keys, ensure all doors and windows are locked before leaving, and arm/disarm any security systems as needed. I have a list of nearby emergency vet information and will work with you to determine a procedure in the case of an emergency. Finally, I will always ensure your pets won’t try escaping by checking gates/doors to ensure they are properly shut before they roam. My two cats love the outdoors so I’m very familiar with making sure they don’t become escape artists!

About: I have been pet sitting since 13 years old and I have been volunteering about three times a week at Orange County Animal Services where I walk and provide enrichment for cats and dogs. I’ve taken care of a variety of animals- dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, lizards, guinea pigs, and even rats. I have experience with all ages, behavior, and energy levels, as well as taking care of multiple animals at one time. I work at Green Beagle Lodge, a daycare and boarding facility where I oversee playgroups and do stuff like cleaning ears and eyes, balming paws, brushing, etc. I work three 12 hours shifts and week, Monday, Wednesday, Saturday, as well as Thursday evenings from 4pm to 7pm. I am available Thursdays before 3pm and all day Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday. I am available for drop in visits, such as a couple time a day to simply feed and walk your dog or cat (or other animal). I can also do more involved pet care, such as staying overnight and hanging out with your fur baby all day!

About: Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my priority. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I know every dog and cat has their own personality and routine, and I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your pet happiest and most comfortable. I worked as a veterinary assistant for around two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve also pet sat for family and friends over the years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. My veterinary experience gave me the skills to care for animals safely while being attentive to their individual needs, personalities, and comfort levels. I’m currently a graduate student at UNC and would love to spend some of my time outside of school caring for your pets. I’m responsible, dependable, and excited to give your pet the same love and attention I would want for my own! I’m currently a graduate student, so I’m looking to provide pet care around my school schedule, primarily weekends/long weekends. My schedule can vary throughout the week, but I’m happy to coordinate with you to find times that work for both of us! I will care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’ll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or other needs. With my previous experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and will always prioritize their safety and well-being.

I have raised puppies, cared for puppies, and cared for dogs of all ages and sizes. Our 4 year old little dog also loves meeting new friends if your dog is social. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies soon! If I'm not caring for my human child or my pets or someone else's, I am usually available, and looking forward to caring for your fur babies! I am available for housesits and have lots of local experience. I can take your dogs on walks, feed, bathe, brush and snuggle them. Our pets are up to date on vaccinations and flee/tick medication and prefer that yours are as well!

About: I grew up in a home full of pets, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my daily life. I have years of hands-on experience walking dogs, providing playtime and companionship, and making sure they feel safe and loved. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family, giving me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always focus on making their time with me fun, comfortable, and stress-free. I am currently interning part-time in Manteo, so I am available on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings, and my schedule is open during all other days of the week. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention while always prioritizing their safety. I’m careful with leashes, aware of their surroundings, and attentive to each dog’s energy level and needs. In a client’s home, I treat both the pets and the space with respect—keeping areas clean, refreshing food and water, and making sure pets are happy and relaxed before I leave. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for. Above all, I focus on patience, kindness, and treating every pet as if they were my own.

About: I've been house- and pet-sitting for neighbors and family friends since high school, ensuring that pets are well cared for and homes are kept clean and secure. I have a remote job that can be done anywhere, so I have lots of flexibility and availability in my schedule to take pets on walks, or act as a sitter during the day or overnight. I've been around all kinds of pets with varying personalities my entire life. I understand that some pets need space, time, and patience before they're able to develop trust, while others need lots of attention to alleviate anxiety. I'm able to accommodate whatever your particular pet may need.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Carrboro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Carrboro is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $40 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 4,802 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Carrboro. 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 Carrboro. 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 Carrboro 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 Carrboro. 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.
