About: I have had dogs, one or two, and a cat since I was born. I firmly believe that dogs that get outside for exercise and play will have a happier, healthier life.

I'm happy to help walk dogs in the morning or evening and willing to provide house care as well! I work at a PT clinic close by, 8 hours a day so happy to care for your pets if this fits the need! I have 2 dogs who are very good with other dogs, we have a fenced yard and a big deck and a forest behind for exercise

“The best dog walker around. Megan was so patient with my Luna who needed some warming up to a new face and before you know they were off for their walk and she had an amazing time. Megan is very flexible and accommodating. She followed all of my instructions and kept me updated on Luna’s progress with pics and review cards. I would recommend Megan to care for your fur child any day and I look forward to utilizing her services again in the near future. Thank you Megan for taking such good care of our sweet girl.”

“Robert has been walking my dog Roman three times a week for the past few weeks, and it’s been a fantastic experience. He’s always on time, sends a photo and quick update after each walk, and clearly takes great care with Roman. He’s also been really flexible—willing to adjust the schedule when needed, which has been a huge help. It’s a relief to know Roman is in such good hands. I highly recommend Robert to anyone looking for a reliable and professional dog walker!”

About: …and ends with a tail! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I wanted nothing more than a cat of my own, and when I finally got one, I absolutely fell in love. That love for animals has only grown over the years. Today, I share my home with one cat and one dog who are truly part of our family. Caring for them every day has given me firsthand experience with the responsibility, patience, and attention pets need to feel safe, happy, and loved. My pet care experience includes caring for my own pets as well as pets belonging to family members and friends. I have also volunteered at a cat shelter, fostered kittens, and worked at a veterinary clinic, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals with different personalities, needs, and routines. I currently provide boarding and pet care services in my home. Depending on your pet’s needs, services may include feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box care, medication administration (if needed), cuddles, enrichment activities, and lots of one-on-one attention. I understand every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow their normal routines to help them feel comfortable. I’m a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 12-year-old, which means I’m home and available most days and can spend a significant amount of time with pets throughout the day. Pet care is a priority in our home, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention. For boarding, I have a friendly dog and cat in the home. However, I also have a separate upstairs area with two large rooms available if your cat would be more comfortable having their own quiet space. I spend time in that area as well so boarded cats still receive plenty of companionship, affection, and interaction. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel at home while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 12 year old, so I am home and available almost every day. Pet care is a priority to me. I have a friendly dog and cat. However, if you are more comfortable I have a separate upstairs with 2 large rooms that I can board your cat/s. I will post pictures of the room. I would be in there a lot to keep them company.

“Candace did an amazing job walking Bruno and Oliver over Memorial Day weekend. Our dogs are definitely not the easiest walkers, but she was patient, attentive, and handled both of them really well. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were getting the care and attention they needed. We’ll definitely be booking Candace again in the future.”

About: I’ve been surrounding myself with animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I always had dogs and cats in the house, and over the years I’ve cared for everything from farm animals to wildlife. On top of a lifetime of personal pet ownership, I also worked for years as a veterinary technician , so you can rest easy knowing your pets are in knowledgeable, safe hands if they ever need medication or extra special care. When I’m with your fur babies, I treat them completely like my own family. Whether we’re out on fun neighborhood walks, playing in the yard, or just snuggling on the couch, their happiness and safety are my top priorities. I know how much you miss them while you’re away, so I love taking tons of photos and sending updates whenever you want them. You’ll always know exactly how your pet is doing and get plenty of cute pictures along the way! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I offer flexible availability throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and sitting. Because my daily schedule is very flexible, I am able to prioritize your pet's specific feeding, walking, and medication schedules without feeling rushed. You can rely on me for prompt communication, on-time check-ins, and consistent care every single day. Safety is my absolute highest priority whenever I am caring for your pets, whether in your home or on a walk. My background as a veterinary technician has trained me to always be hyper-aware of my surroundings, double-check that gates and doors are secure, and follow your exact care instructions. I strictly adhere to leash safety on walks, keep a close eye on pet body language, and maintain a calm, stress-free environment so your fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: I grew up in the countryside so i have always been around many animals since my childhood years. I've taken care of dogs and cats of many breeds , I grew up in DR so I had a dog whom gave birth 3 times within the same year and I delivered 9 pups each time. I took care and nurtured all of the pups prior to finding them a new home. I also always took care of two dogs my godfathers sisters had whenever she would travel to Florida they would stay with me. I do it because I love animals and rather make sure their in good care than looked at by someone who’s careless. I work at the wind creek , my free days are Sunday through Tuesday and I am available any time. Wednesday through Thursday from 7-5pm are my working hours. However on these days Between 6pm-10pm I can be available. If needed I can also stay the night , Feeding will be done at 5:45am with a quick potty break prior to me leaving at 6:30am. Furry friends can run free at home and outside , i like taking them on walks and playing with them where with my CoCo i give her treats as she does the things I ask of her like Sit , Stay Still , my dog loves these games. This is a safe space we also have a camera outside monitoring everything. At a clients home I always follow their instructions, usually most clients would leave a small instruction pamphlet for me which I always follow.

About: Hi, my name is Lindsey and I graduated from Montclair State University in 2019 with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. I currently work as a medical receptionist/dental assitant at TE Comprehensive Dental in Milford, NJ. One of my favorite things to do is go for walks with my beagle mix, Buster. I have a lot of pet care experience, including hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, dogs and horses. I am willing to care for any other pets you may have besides cats and dogs. I love to exercise and dog walking is one of my favorite ways to do it! I will not only care for you pets, but your house as well. Vacuuming, dusting, washing dishes, you name it! If you need anything done while you are away, please don’t be afraid to ask, I love to clean! I have always been an animal lover, and I guess it’s because animals always seem to take a liking to me. Please contact me, Lindsey, for your dog or cat needs! My typical work day is 7:30am-5pm, so I would be able to provide potty breaks every 4-8 hours. If I know I am watching your fur baby, I will make sure to work around what they need! I have a a Beagle mix at home, Buster. He is great with new people and can be unpredictable when it comes to new dogs. He is very well house trained and is the biggest snuggle bug once he gets to know you.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Durham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Durham is $19 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $21 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 3,761 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 your 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
  • 93% 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 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.
