“Rylie is amazing! She asked lots of questions to make sure my dog would have a great time with her. He’s a big dog (German Shepherd), and she completely understands the behavior and energy level of big, high-energy dogs!”
About: Hi! My name is Mack, and I’m a chemist in the RTP area with a lifelong love of critters! I grew up caring for dogs and cats and love to spoil and pamper them. I have experience caring for pups of all personalities and ages, including senior dogs with medical needs. I am also experienced with fish and other aquatic critters, as well as birds! I understand that every pet has their own unique routine, personality, and needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I especially enjoy working with medium-sized and large dogs and love getting to know each pup as an individual. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra companionship, or care while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help! DISCOUNT- I offer a discounted rate for house sitting during the day without overnight stays (typically 8am to 8pm). If this is of interest to you, reach out and I’ll offer the discounted rate! I am an early riser and can best help with early morning and afternoon pet care! My schedule is flexible and I can accommodate a variety of scheduling needs and pet care styles. For house sitting bookings, I am committed to leaving your home clean and showing your home the care and respect it deserves! This includes keeping your pets safe and comfortable in their home, staying on their schedules, and cleaning up.
“Amanda is a fantastic dog walker and partner in helping to train our dogs. She worked to understand where we were at with training our dogs and helped to complement that with the time she spent walking and gave us great suggestions on improving our own training.”
“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.”
About: I have several years of experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch. I’ve also spent plenty of time with cats, understanding their unique personalities and making sure they feel comfortable and at ease. I’m skilled at providing personalized care, whether it's helping a puppy learn basic commands, supporting a senior pet with unique needs, or giving cats the special attention they deserve. My compassionate approach ensures every pet feels safe and loved while in my care. As a college student with summer break approaching, my schedule is opening up, giving me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to pet care. Even during the school year, I balance my part-time job with pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. I’m great at managing my time and making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. This summer, I’m especially excited to have more availability for daytime and evening visits! I provide dog walking and pet sitting services in the comfort of your home, where pets feel most relaxed and comfortable. I prioritize safety and trust by following each pet’s care instructions and keeping a watchful eye on their well-being. Whether it’s feeding, administering medications, or offering companionship, I create a calm, secure atmosphere for every pet in my care. Regular updates and clear communication with owners are always a priority.
About: Over the years in Carrboro/Chapel Hill, I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats (young and old). My schedule is quite open currently and I would love to spend time with animals of all kind! I'm currently teaching part time (T/Th 930-12pm). Otherwise, my schedule is quite open for dog walks, dog/cat visits, and other fun stuff! I will always be very diligent with any pet care issues. My partner works at a vet, therefore, I have quick access to help and am able to ask them questions regarding any animal health issues.
About: I will care for your dogs the same way I’d want mine treated. I grew up with dogs throughout my whole life (ranging from 30lbs to 120lbs), and my neighbors often ask me to look after their pets whenever they need help. I have a wide range of experience with looking after pets including cats, dogs, snakes, and lizards. I will make sure your dogs feel happy and heard. I am currently a master’s student at UNC Gilling’s, so I’m free for pet care whenever I’m not in classes. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2pm, but feel free to ask about whatever time works best for you. I will treat your property with the utmost respect. I am comfortable putting your pets in their crate as well. I am very accountable and will ensure everything is as it was left.
About: I have been around dogs for most of my life, and I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I've cared for senior dogs, chronically ill dogs, fostered puppies, and I am very comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines. I have volunteered in the past with Guiding Eyes for the Blind, helping socialize future guide dogs in public settings, giving me some experience working with dogs in training using patience and consistency. I'm a college student who loves staying active, so I enjoy giving dogs the exercise, attention, and love they all deserve! I'll treat your dog like my own and always provide reliable communication and updates so you can feel confident they're in good hands. I am a full time student, so most of my free time is on the weekends. I also will have some availability during the week in the afternoons/evenings, though it is more variable. I provide dog walking services in your neighborhood, and I am comfortable walking dogs on leashes, including larger dogs. I am attentive and prioritize the safety and trust of your pup and will tailor each walk to their needs.
About: I’ve been pet sitting and volunteering at kennels/shelters since I was in middle school. I have been responsible for feeding, walking, bathing, etc. I have watched older pets, as well as ones with medical needs. I have watched cats, dogs, bunnies, geckos/lizards, and birds. I have been working part time as a barista and am a recent graduate from ECU! I am flexible & reliable. I am looking to make some extra cash before pursuing higher education and would love to spend time with your pet(s)! I follow whatever instructions and routines are already established for the pets. I am detail oriented and am dedicated to the safety of the pets & overall cleanliness.
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. Along with taking care of my own furry friend, I have experience volunteering at local dog shelters and have a passion for promoting adoption. I love being active and am looking forward to many long walks with your dogs! I’m a full time college student so I’ll be flexible with pet care on the weekends. My calendar is updated to reflect my current availability but please reach out if you’re interested in a weekend I may be shown as unavailable. I understand the importance of earning an animal’s trust before anything else. I will take caution as to not overwhelm your pet with a new presence and will be patient as I get to know your furry friend!
“Alessandra is great dog walker. She understands my dog very well and takes the time to give him extra love and not just walk him. The updates are very thorough and she communicates so well with everything that’s going on. I’m really glad that I was able to find a really trustworthy and patient person like Alessandra.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carrboro
Thomas did an excellent job walking and giving our dogs attention. We have a pittie and hound dog mix. Both can be high energy at times and Thomas walked both of them together with ease. He also gave them play time in the yard if they still had energy. I really appreciated his use of the report card, attaching photos and notes for the day. I was at total ease during my business trip. I knew my pups were happy and tired after a midday play date with Thomas. I would 1000% use him again and recommend him to others.
I would recommend Elena, for sure. She was trustworthy, caring, thoughtful, and dependable. When she couldn’t make it? She communicated it. She brought the mail in and returned my trash bins. Without me asking. Thank you for taking care of Mocha while we were gone!!
Alissa has been wonderful at every step of this process. Despite running into issues getting into my apartment, she was determined and went out of her way to successfully access Winnie to take her on a walk! She communicated well and was very responsive. I’d recommend her to any person needing a dog walker!
so first I had booked the wrong dates and had ro change them the day before I was going out of town. Adam was super understanding and was still able to modify the booking. lucy loved him. he took her on long walks and hung out with her, made sure her food and water were filled and made sure the tv stayed on for sound. I appreciate you!!
Claire was super amazing to be able to walk my dog last minute after I had to rush out of the house this morning to drop off at school and drive to work without being able to take care of my dog. She came promptly and took care of my dog, made sure she pooped, and sent a lot of cute photos. I would totally hire her again.
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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Carrboro.

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 Carrboro. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
