“Mikaela was phenomenal! Extremely professional, responsive, and communicative! She asked all the right questions to help us feel assured that our dog was in the best care and provided phenomenal services to oso. Highly recommend and will be using again for sure.”
“Bailey has been great to work with! She was so kind and responsive to our needs. She was observant and let us know about concerns she had when our pup wasn't feeling well. Your pet will be in good hands with Bailey!”
“Tab is so wonderful with my pittie mix, Abbie. She can be reactive on walks, but Tab does a great job of keeping her and others safe while they are out for walks in the woods! Abbie is always tired out and happy after a walk with Tab.”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child and have experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around animals taught me how to provide attentive care, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give pet parents peace of mind. I have experienced with administering medications, anxious, and reactive pets. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. I enjoy spending time with animals and make time each day to feed, walk, play, and provide companionship. My schedule is flexible enough to accommodate pet visits and walks while maintaining a consistent routine, so pets receive the attention and care they need. I prioritize each pet's safety and comfort by carefully following the owner's instructions and maintaining their normal routine. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and closely monitor pets during walks and playtime. I also pay attention to each pet's behavior and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away.
“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 walk Cooper on late notice. We were a bit worried because he can be difficult with people he doesn't know, but Cassied stopped by to meet him before we left and she is a natural. Very happy with Cassie!”
“Tina has been a great. She has really helped us during a stressful time. She has really bonded with our puppy. Her ability to walk him is one less thing I do not have to worry about.”
About: Growing up, I was responsible for taking care of our family dog as well as many of the neighborhood dogs. I currently pet sit for neighbors in my apartment complex as well. Punctuality is my strong suit and I will always be on time. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! I work 24 hours on and 72 hours off, so I can be available to care for your pet in three day periods. I have lots of free time, and I’d be happy to spend it taking care of your pet! I work as an EMT, so I understand how essential it is to respecting people’s homes and personal belongings. Creating a safe and loving environment for pets is paramount to me!
“Dana is a life-saver! She took great care of my two young labs with medical needs the first time I had to leave them home alone. She was very communicative, easy to work with, and went the extra mile to keep the boys safe and happy. Knowing that she was checking on them gave me peace of mind while I had to be away.”
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.
“Annalia was great! I really appreciated that she was able to come over (last minute on my part) to do a meet and greet the day before walking our dogs. They seem to love her and it’s a huge relief to know they are being doted on while I’m at work. Also the pictures are so adorable and really capture their personalities well.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. From taking them to their vet appointments, traveling to fun hikes, and daily walks, I have gained so much experience! I love both large and small dogs, having big dogs at my family home. I’ve taken care of puppies all the way through senior dogs. Whether it’s cleaning the puppy pads, or making a sweet loved one’s last few years more comfortable, I am adaptable to any animals needs. I have experience with administering meds for dogs as well. I’m currently a senior undergraduate student at UNC Chapel Hill pursuing a bachelors degree in Biology. This summer I am enrolled in online summer courses and looking for opportunities to help out animals needs in my area with my free time! I live in a lovely apartment complex with a dog park and safe walking areas right outside! My orange kitten lives in my apartment so if you’re needing out of house care we would need to speak about comparability with my cat.
“Rosa was amazing watching Moose. She walked her three times a day for several days and administered her food and medication without any issues. Rosa sent a photo and update with every walk, which gave us so much peace of mind. Moose was clearly well cared for, and we would highly recommend Rosa and book her again.”
“VERY friendly, AND responsable!! I was out for three weeks and Dakota came and walked Chelita twice a week. I would 100% recommend Dakota to anyone, and if you need to add details, she's flexible enough to follow them accordingly👌”
About: My neighbors trust me to take care of their furry friends when needed. I’ve since moved away for college and hope to meet more pet parents through Rover! I’m currently studying for the MCAT part-time, so my schedule is flexible and I am free to take care of your pet any day of the week! I can easily stay overnight and or simply go for a walk. I live in a pet-friendly townhome with my sister who also loves animals. We have a spacious living room that can accommodate a crate and an unfenced yard.
“Alessandra is a GEM! She is kind and gentle and knows how to make our anxious little dog feel safe. She is very conscientious and made sure she understood the details of Lou's routine (including his medication), which put me completely at ease. Alessandra gives our dog the same loving care that we do, and I'm so glad to have found her!”

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.

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

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 Dogwood Acres.

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.

- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
