“Seriously the BEST Rover sitter ever!! 🥹🐾 I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring and trustworthy hands. They followed all of my instructions perfectly, sent the cutest pictures and updates, and genuinely treated him like he was their own. It’s such a relief to find someone you can fully trust with your dog, especially when they have specific care needs. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will 100% be booking again. Cannot recommend Bailey enough!! ❤️”

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!

Natalie is very professional and a great communicator! Would absolutely recommend to anyone needing a loving caretaker for their furry friend!”

“Lauren is incredibly reliable and takes some of the best pictures we have of Rosie! We always know our wild puppy is in good hands when we book Lauren to walk her!”

“Dana was simply the best among all dog walkers we interacted with. She was super passionate about our dog and took scrupulous notes (and pics) about his daily walking experience that we found it very reassuring and connected with our dog through Dana. Dana was very polite and diligent about every task however big or small. Our dog was looking forward for her arrival every day at the right time, got super excited when she came inside the house. Dana was also very helpful to support my parents while she was at the house, they loved her very much. Thank you Dana for being such a wonderful person, we love you too. Zhi and Maggie”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who would so excited to meet your furry family members! I have been pet sitting and dog walking since I was ten years old and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I am also a proud dog and cat mom, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for them while you are away. During my undergraduate years at Tulane University, I volunteered at an animal shelter in New Orleans, where I helped walk and care for shelter dogs. I also had the opportunity to work with service animals through my university, which gave me additional experience understanding the importance of patience, consistency, responsibility, and following each animal’s individual needs and routines. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at UNC-Chapel Hill. I’m responsible, dependable, patient, and compassionate, and pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy doing outside of school. Whether your dog needs a good walk and some zoomies, your cat wants some attention (or prefers to pretend I don’t exist!), or your pet simply needs someone to stop by and keep them company, I’m happy to help! 🐾 What I can help with: - Dog walking & exercise -Cat & dog check-ins - Feeding & fresh water -Playtime & cuddles - Cleaning up after pets - Medication assistance when needed 📸 Photos & updates so you know your pet is happy and doing well I’ll always take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and preferences. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with your pet’s needs! I’m available for check-ins and visits anytime on weekends. During the week, I am completely available on Fridays and can usually accommodate morning and evening check-ins Monday–Friday, with the exception of Wednesdays, when my availability is more limited. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your pet’s routine! 🐶🐱 I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, which is why I provide in home check-ins and care at your pet’s home. I will always respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure your pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, habits, and needs so I can provide thoughtful, attentive care. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, exercise routines, and care instructions to help your pet feel safe and relaxed. As a lifelong pet owner and experienced pet sitter, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member and your home. I’ll provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and cared for. I do not offer boarding in my own home, but I’m happy to provide reliable, loving care where your pet feels most comfortable—at home.
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience taking care of many different ages of cats and dogs. I have taken care of horses for several years and even have experience taking care of rabbits. I also fostered dogs from my local shelter which gave me experience with a wide range of behavioral concerns in dogs. When I come to take care of your pet, I would love to learn how to best care for them. Whether that is relaxing on the couch or running outside with them, I can adapt to your pet's individual care needs. I currently work from home which allows me to have a large range of availability. I am available for multi day house sitting or dog walking. I am very flexible to what is needed for your pet. I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings! Unfortunately, I cannot board because I am not able to board pets at my apartment. But I would love to take care of your critters at your own home. When at your home, I would love to take care of your critters in the best way possible for their needs and wants. We can chill out at home, go to the dog park, walk around the yard, or anything else your dog likes and makes them the most comfortable while you are away!

“Lindsay was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to take care of our dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She sent detailed updates and lots of pictures, made sure they got all their medications, and kept both their bowls and hearts full. She was so loving and attentive with them, and we’re incredibly grateful. Knowing that our dogs trust and love Lindsay so much, I know that if we ever need a pet sitter in the future, we’ll have someone we can trust completely. We would absolutely love to have Lindsay take care of them again!”

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.
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 .

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.
