About: I have been obsessed with dogs since I was little. Always wanting to have one, pet one, and just interact with one. I currently have a GSD, who is a handful, that I love dearly. I’m currently working 12 hour shifts with a rotating schedule. My available days change every week, but I know my schedule very far out in advance. I am very mindful of doors being closed all the way before and after taking your furry baby for a walk. Will provide them with water and treats before and after. I can also put them back into their crate before leaving if required.
“Due to a recent change in employment it meant our dog was going to be left alone a few days a week. He has some separation anxiety and we’ve only had him 5 months so we were delighted to have found Haley to come and walk Boscoe and spend some time with him. Haley came prepared with questions for our meet and greet and was accommodating to our request to start a week earlier than we had originally requested. If it’s raining and he’s not feeling a walk she does enrichment activities with him. I love the recaps of their time together and the pictures she sends. Haley is very quick to respond to requests. We have a ongoing booking with Haley for weekly walks!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, and fish as family pets. As I got older, I’ve had pets of my own and became the go-to person to petsit for friends and family. I also have some experience caring for farm animals. I know leaving can be stressful for both pets and owners. I strive to make that change as seamless as possible so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are well cared for. I work remotely and have flexibility in my schedule, so I can be around a lot to give them love and help stick to their usual routine. My current schedule is very flexible. I can easily drop in midday for a walk while you’re at work or spend large chunks of time with your pets during a stay! Unfortunately I cannot host pets in my home at this time. In your house, I’ll follow your instructions for pet care as closely as possible to ensure they feel comfortable and have minimal change in routine.
About: For over 15 years, I have been the go to person for pet care among friends, family, and neighbors and it is something I genuinely love doing. From quick drop ins to let a pup out for a bathroom break to full time care for two weeks while an owner was away, I have handled it all. I am trusted to feed, walk, play with, and comfort dogs of all sizes and personalities. What started as a favor has grown into something I take real pride in. Whether it is a laid back older dog or a playful puppy, I treat every pet like they are my own. I can’t wait to meet your dog or cat! I will be available most days and times. Please contact me to see if I am available and I will see if I can get your needs taken care of! I can keep your pet safe with any means necessary. Please tell me specifics about your animal’s habits and rules for him or her so I can appropriately accommodate.
About: I'm a lover of all animals, but DOGS are my absolute favorite! I've taken care of dogs of various sizes and backgrounds since I was little. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to care for their pets during times they couldn't. My patience and understanding of dogs is what sets me apart from others. I've always had a special place in my heart for rescues and currently own 3 from various challenging backgrounds. I enjoy training them and making them feel loved in a safe space! They are DEFINITELY family members in our home! 😍 After 19 years in the restaurant business, working nights and weekends, I chose to step away and spend the summer with my kiddos (kindergarten and 1st grade) before they began school again. I am now pursuing different avenues that allow a better work/home life balance and flexibility to be close to home as much as possible. I have a fully fenced yard and 3 laid back, friendly dogs that love to play but don't mind being contained separately from your dog if needed! Our home is very flexible and easy going and can accommodate whatever you may need.
About: I have grown up with and lived with pets (dogs and cats) my entire life. For over a decade I have volunteered and fostered animals through a local animal rescue. I have passed on my love for animals to my 15-year-old daughter, Piper. She started sitting for neighboring pets three years ago. Together we would love to meet you and your furry family and provide you with outstanding pet-sitting services. Pets are not just animals, they are family. And many times, we love them more than our human family and they should be treated as such. Thank you for your consideration of our services. I work from home full time and have a fenced in yard. Working from home allows me nearly constant access to care for your dog's every need during their stay with us. Also, my schedule flexibility is perfect for midday drop-in visits and walks as needed. Piper also has availability during evenings and weekends to provide extra snuggles and play time with your furry family members. Our backyard fence is a 4' aluminum fence with custom picket spacing of 2.25" which is perfect for accommodating smaller dogs and puppies. We also have a variety of crates available if your pup prefers their own safe space. We own two small dogs (Yorkie mix and a Maltese) that are very accustomed to strange dogs (fosters and occasional overnight guests) coming through our home. And Piper, who has her own neighborhood pet/house/child sitting service, is usually available to give your fur baby extra snuggles and attention as well.
About: Animals have always held a huge place in my heart! Since going to school in veterinary medicine, I’m experienced in caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. I love spending time with fur babies and giving owners peace of mind knowing they’re cared for. Extra Skills:: • Administering Oral Medications • Working with Senior Animals • Nail Trims (Dogs and Cats) • Anal Gland Expression (Dogs only) I’m currently working part time so I have flexibility! My goal is to have clients I develop a good relationship with. My top priority is that owners trust me and so do their fur babies! I feel it’s very important to give clients the peace of mind that their pet is going to get the care and attention they need! Exercise and enrichment is very important for pets and I enjoy being the one to give it to them.
About: Hi! I bring years of hands-on experience from running an emergency and critical care animal rescue, where I cared for pets with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. I'm confident handling medication administration, injections, mobility support, and other complex care routines. At home, I care for my sweet blind dog with medical issues and a high-energy puppy, so I understand the importance of both patience and structure. I have extensive expierence with both cats and dogs, but am more than happy to care for any pet you may have 🥰 Whether your pet needs quiet care, extra attention, or high-energy playtime, I’ll treat them like family and provide reliable, loving support while you're away. I currently work Monday- Friday, but am available for all of your petcare needs! My schedule is flexible! Please let me know if adjustments are needed! I have a large yard, and a seperate room for pets if needed. Our yard is not fenced, but we have a supervised tie out, or leash walks! I have a very friendly dog who loves to play, or can be kept seperate if needed. I also have a very friendly cat! We live on an awesome walking trail, and I go running every day with my dog.
“Allison obviously did an excellent job with walking the boys as I found no minor destruction when I got home hours later; she must’ve worn them out!! Thank you….”
“I can’t say enough good things about Crystal! She was absolutely wonderful with Walter! We needed someone on short notice to give him a midday break and walk, and Crystal truly went above and beyond. Despite having a lot going on with her own family, she made it a priority to come meet Walter beforehand and make sure she understood his routine and our expectations. That meant so much to us! On the day of his visit, she let me know when she arrived, kept me updated, and sent pictures of their walk. I loved knowing Walter was getting such wonderful care while we were away. Crystal was thoughtful, dependable, and so easy to communicate with. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member!”
About: I grew up around a lot of big dogs so I think i have a better time reading the dog and knowing what it needs and when. I am currently self employed so i can fit in my walks into my schedule how I like. That way if you need to change the time i can be very flexible. You can ensure my attention will be on your pet 100% of the time when you book with me and will get lots of play time.
“Christy is great! My dogs always look forward to their walks. She's very professional and reliable. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
“Amber is awesome! She was a great communicator, expressed sincere concern for the health and well-being of my dog, made sure that he received lengthy and enjoyable walks, and as a bonus for me – she made sure that she took a bunch of glamour shots during their time together. I cannot recommend her enough, and will be seeking her out for future engagements.”
About: I am a 28 year old animal lover. I've always had pets, including cats and dogs. I love animals, especially dogs, but my schedule makes it hard for me to care for one full time. That's why I'm on Rover! I will take care of your pet like I were taking care of my own--that includes plenty of belly rubs and as many treats as you'll allow! My parents raised me to help take care of any pets we had in the home, so I'm comfortable doing any and all pet related tasks; that includes feeding, washing, walking, and cleaning up after any and all accidents. Animals are my passion, and I am so excited to meet your pet and care for them while you're busy! I currently work full time, 8:00-4, in office four days a week/1 day remotely. I am comfortable coming back to your home during my lunch break to check in and let dogs out to use the restroom. I provide plenty of exercise and play when I’m watching your pet. I love interacting with dogs and making sure they have plenty of enrichment and fun while I’m watching them.
“Paola helped me out last minute and was able to provide 2 long walks for my dog while I worked a 14 hour shift. 💗 She sent me so many pictures and I think he likes her more than he likes me!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chapel Hill
Elle (Mary) is great with Kanga, who is often intimidating to strangers, and Kanga seems to like her very much. After only two walks, Kanga is looking forward to Elle’s visits and doesn’t seem to pull on the leash when walked by her. I feared the worst based on how newcomers tend to perceive Kanga, but I have been very pleased so far and look forward to many more!

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 Chapel Hill. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

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.
