She was on time, gave Hero lots of love, and helped give us peace of mind while we were away. She also always sent loads of pictures, which we always appreciated. We would have gladly kept using Alyssa's services if we hadn't moved. 1000% recommend.”

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior animals requiring extra attention.

Whether it’s a midday walk between classes, overnight pet sitting, or weekend check-ins, I make sure each pet gets the love and care they deserve. Caring for animals is not just a job for me- it’s a rewarding part of my life that I used to do daily with my family of 4 + 2 dogs, 3 horses, 3 cats and a lizard that brings balance and joy to my busy schedule.” Caring for Pets in My Client’s Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their routine and comfort.

About: My boyfriend, Joe, and I both have huge hearts for animals and enjoy taking on Rover jobs together! Being in our mid 20s, we have plenty of free time and we both have extremely flexible work schedules; this enable us to give the attention and time that your pets deserve! About Haley: My love for animals started from a young age; I love pets of all shapes, sizes, and breeds! I was raised with 2 cats, a Golden Retriever, 2 Bull Terrier Mixes, and a Miniature Pinscher. I currently have 2 Chihuahuas and I’m hoping to add a Corgi and/or Bernese Mountain Dog to the family in the future! About Joe: I’ve always loved animals and grew up with a Weimaraner named Wimzy! She passed early last year after spending 13 wonderful years with my family. Haley: My flexible work schedule allows me to take care of pets at any time during the day or night. Joe: I work a non-traditional corporate work schedule. I am in the office Wednesday thru Saturday from 3am to the early afternoon. This gives me a pretty empty schedule to help with Rover cares or to stop by if Haley gets called into to work on short notice. We work as a team which really allows us to give the upmost care for your pet while they’re with us. We have a large yard, while it is unfenced, it is in a quiet neighborhood. Dogs will always be leashed for potty breaks for safety. If your dogs needs to unleash their zoomies there is a fenced in dog park just a short 5-minute walk away! Cats will find comfort in our quiet home with many cozy windowsills to snuggle up on. Toys & treats (with owner’s permission) are always provided!

Hannah is absolutely wonderful with my Bentley! She is consistently reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She keeps me updated throughout the walk and makes sure my dog gets plenty of exercise and attention. My Bentley always comes home happy, relaxed, and excited to see Hannah everyday. I really appreciate Hannah's professionalism and care. I feel completely comfortable knowing my dog is in great hands. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
"Carolyn provided incredible care for our dog while we were in Florida for 5 weeks. She visited twice a week, was always on time, and sent great updates and photos after every walk. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and communicative walker!" We will definitely contact her again in the future!
Brian has been a life saver for us! We had a complicated family emergency and Brian has been an invaluable and professional asset during this period. Brian has been such a great friend to Charlie, our dog. Charlie is so very excited when Brian comes, and since he's a big dog, we've really appreciative how well he responds to Brian. Brian has also been 100 percent reliable, extremely communicative, and very flexible. He has even helped my elderly mother bring in packages and other things that have become difficult for her. He's just a good human being! Brian is great with dogs and also with people. We so appreciate his help over the past several months.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Cary on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of July 2026, there are 4,532 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cary. 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 Cary. 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 Cary.

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 Cary. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
