About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was kid and will care for your fur baby like they are my own! I’m an avid walker/runner and happy to help you and your pup in whatever way you need—drop in visits or walks. I have cared for senior pups before and am happy to care for your’s if that’s what you need! I’m a full time PhD student doing research from home with a flexible schedule. I’m hoping to help someone walk their dog or stop in to play with their cat from time to time or on a regular basis if we’re a good fit! Mornings & evenings are generally easiest for me to come by and go on walks, but I can be flexible midday depending on my schedule. I’m currently a Cat Mom who loves to have play & cuddle time when I’m not working (or even sometimes when I am). I don’t have a dog but would take them out regularly on my daily walks! I’m also happy to drop in and visit your pup—for playtime, snuggles, or just some companion time!
About: Growing up i’ve never been without a dog in my house. My childhood pet was a golden retriever, and now I have two rescue dogs. I am definitely a dog person and love being around them! I’m currently a student at UNC-CH. I’m happy to help out all throughout the school year! I’m also from Chapel Hill, so I’m usually around on those longer breaks when people go back home. My two current dogs vary in age and energy levels. One is getting older and slower while the other still has some of that puppy energy. So, I know how to handle all kinds of dogs with different personalities.
“Danny was great. Totally reliable and right on time for the walks. And such a nice guy!”
“Claire is the best! Always punctual and so great with my pup. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Christy was very professional and excellent communicator. She came by to meet my dog a week or so before the walk. The evening before the walk, she mentioned that it was going to be extremely hot (110 heat index!) so she offered to walk my dog earlier in the morning and later in the evening to make sure my pup stayed safe in the heat. I really appreciated that! Christy is also very personable! Highly recommend.”
“Lauren has been walking my two pups several times a week for the last few months. She’s flexible and communicative about scheduling. After a walk, she always provides a great detailed update that confirms just how observant and caring she is about each of the pups’ quirks and needs. I would absolutely recommend Lauren to anyone who wants to know their furry family members are in great hands, for visit, a walk or a trip!”
“Cassie agreed to meet on short notice and provide daily walks when my other walker had to be out of town. She did a great job and I will definitely be contacting her for additional walks in the future!”
About: Hi! My name is Merrily, and I am a student at UNC! I have been an animal lover my whole life, growing up with two dogs and a cat! My dogs were a sweet boxer and a lively pug, so I have experience with both big and small dogs! I especially loved to take my boxer on long walks and runs, and cuddled and played with my pug. From taking care of my dogs throughout teenage hood, I gained valuable experience with senior care, administering oral and topical medication daily, dental care, bathes, and basic grooming. I also have dog and cat sat for family friends and neighbors numerous times, with duties ranging from senior care with a lab dog, to taking care (and easing) an anxious corgi. My favorite aspect of pet-setting is of course snuggles! I want to provide affection and comfort just as pets provide me with affection and comfort! I also thoroughly enjoy playtime and walks!🩷🐾 I am a full-time college student at UNC with much free time over summer break! I live in the heart of Chapel Hill and have a car, allowing for flexible and punctual care. I make sure to not only keep up with pets but with the client's home too. When caring for your furry friend and home, fulfilling your needs is my main goal!
“My first experience using a walker on Rover and Caroline has been punctual, responsive, and took great care of our boy! She also included such great pictures!”
“My dog was very comfortable with Kyla at the meet and greet. Kyla is very nice and communicated well. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup in her care.”

Elizabeth H.
“Elizabeth is the best! I have known her for about one year, and she has taken care of my beloved hound dog on two different occasions. Both times, she went above and beyond. When I came home from vacay having been gone for about a week, my often anxious dog was calm and relaxed because her attentiveness had made a difference. She also alerted me to, and problem-solved, a complicated challenge at my home when my AC broke down (as I said, above and beyond!). Elizabeth is 100% dependable, trustworthy and caring. I giver her my all star highest recommendation!”

Taccara was great! She helped us out last minute with a drop-in and walk. Super reliable and our pup loved her. Will definitely book again!
Madisyn walked my dog a mile twice every day while I was unable to do the walks myself. Her reliability meant I could count on her, and she always let me know in advance if she would be a bit early or a bit later than expected. She formed a lovely relationship with Gracie (my dog) who initially resisted the idea of taking a walk without me!
My pup had a blast walking with Miranda. She is very thorough and attentive, and has great communication. My dog is on the timid side and Miranda took great care in making my pup more comfortable before the walk.
Alexandra has walked our dog multiple times now while we are at work during the day. She is always on time, sends immediate updates with plenty of photos, and often lingers to give extra belly rubs. We are so grateful for the extra attention our sweet Mac is getting and would highly recommend her.
Grace was very flexible and prompt with responding! She took the time to let Leia warm up to her and didn’t rush things! Would highly recommend to anyone!
So glad to have found Catherine. She is reliable and kind with great communication. Our dog Nova adores her. We will be booking with Catherine again!
Mariell went above and beyond and we there is no amount of appreciation for that we can express. We would absolutely recommend and book with her again. Her patience, understanding and dedication was amazing.
Grace was an incredible dog sitter that exceeded every expectation. She provided updates on every walk and treated our Buttons with so much attention. In addition, we have heard so many good raves about her from our neighbors since we have been back. Would highly recommend to anyone to book your next service with Grace.
Jack was great with the dogs, very friendly, very attentive and very reliable. Will definitely use him again in the future...
Malei is great! She was super flexible with my schedule, which I really appreciated. She took the time to get to know my pup and her commands, and took the time to do some dog training on their walks! I really appreciate her attention to detail, training ideas, and how much she cares about my pup. 💕
My dog was very comfortable with Kyla at the meet and greet. Kyla is very nice and communicated well. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup in her care.
Avi took my dog on a walk every day for a week when I needed a little extra help. She arrived on time, gave my dog a solid walk, and my dog was always VERY happy to see Avi! We’d definitely book walks with Avi again.
Bryn does a great job with my dog. She is dependable and communicates well. She has taken care of him frequently and I feel he is safe with her. She has even helped with some training for him!
Christina was so good with Maggie! Always making sure she got her exercise, went potty, and got water before putting her back. She cared for my dog as if it was her own!
Julia is wonderful. She has taken great care of our puppy. She is a great communicator, too. I am so glad she is helping us welcome our new dog to the family.
Kiersten is GREAT! She has walked by leash reactive dog and new puppy several times and I have booked her again for additional walks. She is knowledgeable about dog behaviors and very calm. When she came to meet my dogs, she had great questions. She has also updated me after her visits, which is especially helpful with the puppy and leash training and house training. She is also working with me on training the leash reactive dog. I completely trust Kiersten and would also happily hire her for house/dog sitting.
