About: I grew up with pet dogs. I've since become a "cat lady" but continue to love dogs. Out on neighborhood walks I have to stop and pet every dog and cat I meet! There's nothing like a bright dog face and and a wagging tail or a cat purring and rubbing against my legs! I'm recently retired and have lots of time to spend taking care of your pets. I'm available weekdays and weekends, daytime and evenings, and holidays. I'm flexible and open to hearing about your pet sitting scheduling needs. I grew up with dogs, but now I'm a cat lady who loves and pampers my little boy, Mr. Kitty. I prepare special food for him, give him lots of attention, and take him for long walks in his cat stroller. I'm an energetic and responsible recently retired hospice nurse. I'll pamper your pets and give them the greatest care. I'll also treat your space with respect and maintain a clean environment in your home.
About: I am always the first to call when someone I know needs pet care! I have also worked in a veterinary hospital with dogs and cats. As of now, I have a very open schedule. I am willing to care overnight or just drop by for a quick walk. I am flexible! I live in a home with a fenced in backyard. I have one dog and cat of my own, and my dog is crate-trained. Both get along with all animals great! My dog is a border collie mix, and is not aggressive at all. My house is also is 2 minute walk to a park with a field and walking track!
About: Animals have always been such a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I am so passionate about. I'm currently a college student pursuing my dream of becoming a veterinarian, so providing animals with the love and attention they deserve means so much to me. Growing up surrounded by animals, I've developed a strong understanding of their different personalities and routines. I have more than 8 years of experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, cats, and even dogs with special needs! I understand every dog is different, and I always make it a priority to ensure they are well taken care of. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family! I'm currently a college student at the University of Arkansas, pursing my dream of becoming a vet! My class schedule gives me flexibility throughout the week, and I love spending my free time caring for dogs. I'm available morning, afternoon, and evening depending on my classes, with additional flexibility on the weekends. Your pet's safety and happiness are always my biggest priorities! As an aspiring veterinarian, I understand how important it is to pay attention to each animal's individual needs and behaviors. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions you provide to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I also love keeping owners updated with pictures and messages so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing! I treat every animal like family and treat every home with the utmost respect!
About: I’ve had 2 dogs for all of my life until very recently! I’ve cared for a senior dog, a service dog, and an active german shepherd / labrador mix who can walk for hours!!! I am genuinely always looking to hang out and care for other’s dogs as I know how much MY dogs love attention, love, and care :) My apartment is a one bedroom apartment but I have boarded other dogs there before, my home is their home!!! As long as you are comfortable, we can play at the park and go for as many walks as the dog cares to! (Natural home, no crazy toxins that’ll harm sweet dogs!) I am an avid volunteer and 16 hour student but my schedule is Tu&Thrusday for school; which leaves more than enough time for your sweet dogs! Even on those days, I am usually home around 6PM or even sooner! Single bedroom apartment, reliable car, CLEAN home! For my family it is important for our dogs to be in a calm, relaxing, and nurturing environment that encourages play. Now that I live on my own, my apartment is exactly that!!!! If there are any preferences for your dogs, let me know so I can make them feel at home! (Perks of me living alone : they can roam the entire apartment, dogs get dibs to lay on ALL the soft furniture, and no extra people that YOU don’t approve to be around your dog!)

About: I have over five years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them. I believe every dog deserves patience, attention, and care tailored to their needs. I always do my best to make sure each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while they’re with me. I am currently a student at the University of Arkansas that works part time before class however I am completely free after class and all day Friday-Sunday. I live in a townhome with a backyard, although it is not fenced. I’m happy to provide crate care when needed and can take dogs outside for walks and bathroom breaks on a leash. I’m also comfortable traveling to clients’ homes for both quick check-ins and longer visits to make sure their pets are comfortable, cared for, and have everything they need.
About: I've grown up surrounded by animals of all kinds! Not only do I have years of personal experience caring for animals, but I have seven years of professional experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes! When going on walks I will always keep your dog on a leash and make them and their safety my first priority!
About: I grew up in Texas with two dogs and two cats. And I’ve had my currently dog, Theo, since he was 5 weeks old. And I also have experience with an elderly dog with diabetes needs. I am in grad school as well as a research assistant. I make my own hours making my schedule flexible. I’m excited to meet new pets. I will keep your space clean and allow your pet the most comfortable experience I can I am in grad school and a research assistant. I have class MWF 9-10 am. Then TTh 11-12:15 &2-3:15. I create my own hours for research. So otherwise I am normally flexible on time! I love going on walks with dogs, time/distance depending on breed and age.

About: I have 4 dogs of my own. The oldest is 8 years old. I have so much experience with having them and all their different personalities and needs. I have also watched family and friends fur babies in the past. I currently have another job, but I am looking to do something on the side and I can’t think of anything else I’d love to do than help with someone else’s fur babies, I will treat them as they are my own. I have 4 friendly and loving dogs in my own, a fenced in yard. And if you have special training needs such as crating, I can help with that as well.

About: Hey there! My name is Annie Webb and I have been working with animals and dogs since I was 15 (I’m now 22!) I worked at a dog boarding kennel in Prairie Grove and my duties included • Managing the kennel area, which includes cleaning and caring for the dogs staying there. Administering medication orally or injection. • Assisting in the care of about 60 sheep that live on the farm, this includes feeding, water, administering vaccinations, and many other tasks. • Communicating with customers about the care and schedule their animal requires, as well as the handling of money and scheduling drop-offs and pick-ups. I also have been in dog grooming since 2024. I started at PetSmart and worked there for 2 years. While there I completed and graduated from their grooming program. From there I went to 2 other salons before deciding to take a break while attending school. Because of my experience I have also dealt with my fair share of different levels of anxious dogs. I pride myself on being able to calmly care for dogs that have a higher anxiety level due to a new experience or person. I am calm and confident and dogs are drawn to my demeanor. I’m currently in college but I have plenty of time in between classes as well as evenings. I also don’t have class on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, as well as weekends off to give your pet the proper attention they deserve! I have a fenced yard and a house. I also have a 4 year old cocker spaniel who loves people and pets, I also have a cat that loves people and gets along well with other cats and dogs!
About: I’m super hands on and a little crazy when it comes to taking care of animals. I’ve owned over 5 pets in my life time and all have met with old age. I do work an 9-4 job but am able to take on one pet at a time for an hour during my lunch break and an hour after work unless you are okay with me bringing your pet to my home overnight. (It is dog, cat and baby proof lol) I primarily can take any weekend but during the weekdays of my full time job I am still able to offer a mid day walk, after work walk and possibly an overnight stay so they won’t be alone. I’ve taken care of many pets, if they are uncrated, I typically clean the house if they’ve destroyed things while alone (I know it happens I’ve taken care of it many times no big deal!!) I’m a little insane when it comes to pet health so if your pet is coughing or acting odd I am the first person to notice and will let you know and ask for an action plan. I know things happen so I am willing to house pets over night. Depending on their demeanor they will either be able to sleep on the bed or in the floor bed or be crated.
About: I own dogs, cats, and horses of my own. I've helped over 200 fosters or rescues in our home, many of which had medical issues. I've dealt with most problems that could come up with sitting! I also use Rover for my own pets, so I try to do everything that I would want a sitter to do for me! I have a pretty flexible schedule with work, so I am able to fill all of that free time with pet sitting opportunities! Let me know how I can help! I love all animals and try to take care of them as if they were my own. I also love taking photos and sending them off so you can see your animals while you are away!
About: I am a vet tech at a clinic in Springdale. I have experience from puppies to senior dogs. I also have trained my own dogs as well as attended classes to gain more skills. I have experience with dogs that do have behavior issues, as well as food aggression, territorial, etc. I do work Full time throughout the week but can stay overnight and provide bathroom breaks on my lunch as well as before and after work. I work full time but have Wednesdays off. I can come let them out on my lunch and stay with them in the weekends but I will make sure they are let out regularly. I wouldn’t be able to have them at my home at this time, but when I am pet sitting I make sure the house is cleaner than when the owners left. I also make sure to keep the owners informed if there are any issues
About: Have your mind at ease when I'm taking care of your animal. I have 5 years of experience of kennel technician, also know CPR for canines. And also worked at a doggy facility which has doggie daycare grooming and boarding facility. Pet Care is 100% fits into my daily routine. I have four of my own that I love dearly with all my heart. And I would treat my clients pet the same as if they were mine. You will have 100% relaxation while you're on vacation or a job trip when I am taking care of your animal in house. I have four of my own and I love them dearly. And I would treat yours as my own with 100% respect and your property as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 627 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Durham. 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 Durham. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Durham after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 Durham. On Rover:
- 89% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
