About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, and over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me with the special care of their beloved pets. For over a year, I worked in a lab-like setting providing daily care to a wide variety of exotic animals, including reptiles, amphibians, small mammals and birds. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, and general husbandry for each species. I also have experience caring for senior animals, including administering medication and performing nail trims, so I'm comfortable with pets who need a little extra attention and care. I currently work part-time and am finishing up my Associate's degree, which gives me a good amount of flexibility during the week to care for your fur babies. On days I work an 8-hour shift, there may be a slightly longer gap between potty breaks, but I always plan ahead and communicate clearly so you know exactly what to expect. Providing consistent, quality care for your animals is a top priority for me, no matter my schedule. When I care for your pets in their own environment, I bring nothing but comfort and love. I give excellent cuddles and scritches, and genuinely enjoy enriching their day with play. I know when to be calm and reassuring, and when to be playful and energetic, adapting to match each pet's unique personality. Every animal I care for receives quality, individualized attention tailored to exactly what they need. Above all, you can count on me to be reliable and consistent, every single time.
“Rylie is amazing! She asked lots of questions to make sure my dog would have a great time with her. He’s a big dog (German Shepherd), and she completely understands the behavior and energy level of big, high-energy dogs!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 14. I’m an RN and happy to give meds to your fur fam. I have two dogs of my own and we are always on the go. I have a spontaneous schedule and would love to fit you and your pets in! I work 3 days a week and am often available to fit you into my schedule. Feel free to reach out anytime to see if we can make something work! I have two dogs who are crate trained and don’t get on furniture. That being said, they come everywhere with me and we are always camping and traveling. I believe pets are like people. They need quality food, good exercise, positive reinforcement, routine, and lots o’ love!
“Hillary is the absolute best person I've ever used to walk lucy. She's responsible, funny and super caring. Definetly felt like I was texting with a friend the whole time she helped out. She communicates very well and everything she does is out of her heart for the love of the animal. I will definetly be using her again and you should too!. Lucy misses her already I'm sure.”

About: I love dogs! I've had medium to large breed dogs throughout my life and would like to start walking dogs as a side gig. Walking dogs within neighborhoods or trails would be my specialty. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to take excellent care of your pet. I am very competent and will take excellent care of your furry friend. I will communicate with you as you would like- photos, just a touch base text whatever you prefer! I currently have plenty of time during the day to walk and play with pups! Morning, lunch breaks or afternoons are best options for me. Leashed walks in neighborhoods or trails. Can walk multiple dogs if needed at the same time. Short car rides to dog parks would be possible.
“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!”
About: As long as I can remember I’ve lived with animals. Not just dogs, I’ve raised chickens, Guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, geckos, and I helped birth puppies once 😂 My partner and I are full time Pet Sitters! We are available to house sit on weekdays, weekends, holidays, and overnight. We require a meet and greet before all of our sits and prefer booking confirmation 2 weeks before your trip, but we do have sympathy for emergency situations and are always happy to help. Whenever I take care of your animal I will always make sure to take very good care of the home I’m staying in, as well as the animal or animal’s I’m taking care of. I’ve never once missed a meal time or potty break. Any Pet sitter can promise to take care of your Animals basic needs, but I can promise you your animals will be loved by me the same way as if you never left, while you’re away. If there’s any Training you’d like me to keep up with while you’re gone, just let me know and I’ll make sure to practice with them.
About: Growing up, I was always the person that friends and neighbors called when they needed someone to care for their furry friends. I’ve looked after dogs with all sorts of personalities, including seniors who benefit from extra patience and attention. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I focus on providing reliable care, sticking to routines, and keeping owners updated every step of the way! As a grad student, I have an extremely flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate! I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. My classes take up a small portion of my week, which means more playtime and cuddles for your pet! My priority is making sure every pet feels safe and cared for while maintaining the routine they’re used to. I follow instructions closely regarding feeding, exercise, meds, crate routines, and any other specific needs. I understand that every animal is different, so I take time to learn their personalities and boundaries. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs (and cats) since I was 12 years old and I've taken care of many of my neighbors, friends and families pets and they all love me. I'm used to large and small dogs and am happy to chill/play with them or go for a walk. I currently volunteer and foster for a local animal shelter. If you have other animals besides cats and dogs I am happy to take care of them too. Being an artist and an avid gardener I spend my time painting or caring for mine and my daughters ( who lives next door ) gardens so your pets can be with me all day. I have a large fenced in garden with plenty of room for your dog to run and play with my dog and any in my care at the time. You will provide their food and I will strictly adhere to your specified feeding schedule. If I'm taking care of your pets at your home I will follow any rules or guidelines you have in place as I would in my home. Dog walking can be done in your neighborhood or I have a car and can transport to a dog park if you wish.

“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.

About: Hi, I’m Sierra. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐾 I’m based in Chapel Hill and provide services throughout the Triangle. I currently work with University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My schedule is very flexible and often remote, which allows me to spend extended time in your home for house sitting or provide multiple drop-in visits each day, whatever best fits your pet’s needs. I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds and truly love animals. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, breeds, ages, and those with special needs. I began volunteering at animal shelters in my early teens and continued pet sitting for neighbors throughout high school and college. Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals—cats and dogs, along with hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, and even goats—so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Currently, I share my home with three cats: my 16-year-old Maine Coon mix, Leo, and two rescue girls, Indigo and Periwinkle. While I don’t have a dog of my own yet, my family has four, and I plan to adopt one in the future. I’m experienced with administering medications (including insulin), as well as providing baths, light grooming, enrichment, and dog park visits. I’m also happy to help with household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping your home tidy while you’re away. My goal is to care for your pets just as you would. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, loving, and attentive care. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I look forward to caring for your furry family members! 🐶🐱💛 My current role allows me to be able to work remotely so my routine can be very flexible depending on your preferences and pet needs! I’d care for your pets in your home as I’d care for my own pets at home, with all the snuggles, treats and playtime they need!

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

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 Eli Whitney. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
