About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 10 years now. I own 3 dogs myself and take care of them everyday. I have also worked at an overnight boarding place for animals, volunteered at animal shelters, fed many pets, walked many dogs, and I hope to continue bettering animals. I am a part time student athlete located in Wilson NC, i am usually available on Thursdays and Tuesdays. Please send me a message if you are confused about my availability! I will make sure your pets have everything they need whether that’s attention, belly rubs, extra potty breaks, long walks, or even a cuddle buddy
About: I have taken care of dogs under 6 weeks up to senior dogs. Family and friends trust me with their fur babies and always suggest me to their friends! I love all animals big to small and it would be a pleasure to ensure they are well taken care of when you are away 🐶🐱🐹 I am currently working full-time with semi-flexible hours, so depending on the individual need of your pet(s), I will be available to care for them when I am free! I like to tailor each visit to the tenement of the animal, if you have a couch potato… I’ll be one too or if you have a high energy pet, let’s play outside, go for a walk, or try some mental stimulation.
About: I've owned dogs my whole life, I know the pain of loosing a furry companion. But all of that learning in my life has taught me that we don't deserve pets, they love us, unconditionally. So let's do the same! I am open all summer! I can definitely make time overnight on the weekdays and weekends! I don't mind staying late with your pups or cats! I care for them as if they were my own, you can't force a dog to like or trust you. You have to earn that trust, once you do, it's beautiful.
About: Hey! I’ve been a dog lover since I was a kid and have grown up surrounded by them. At one point, I had four dogs at once, so I’m used to all kinds of energy and personalities! I have three of my own dogs, so I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who genuinely cares. I’m all about making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved whether we’re going for walks, playing, or just relaxing. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week, including weekends. I do my best to keep my availability up to date and can often work with short notice. Your dog’s routine is important to me, so I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific care instructions to keep them comfortable and happy. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are in a secure, supervised environment and follow any instructions you provide closely. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, needs, and routine so they feel safe and at ease. In my home, your pup will be treated like family with plenty of attention, care, and a calm environment. I also have my own dog, so I’m experienced in maintaining a safe and positive space for multiple pets. I’m attentive on walks, mindful of surroundings, and committed to building trust with both you and your pet every step of the way.
About: I've taken care of large and small animals all my life, I grew up taking care of my aunt's horses with her, and I've pet sat and house sat for the past couple of years and have been very successful. I am no longer a college student so my schedule is way more open! I love all animals small or large! I am currently looking for a part-time job, I will always be available on the weekends and I should be available in the mornings and late mornings almost every day. I have a big fenced-in backyard, and I own two friendly dogs and an indoor-outdoor cat that stays away from most people and other dogs who come to visit so there is no worry about him if you're worried about your animal around cats.
About: I used to work at an dog and cat boarding facility. I am also a student at Fayettville State University. I absolutly adore animals. I have 3 of my own, They are a german shepherd, austrailian Shepherd, and a chihuahua. So I do have and active life style with the 2 larger dogs. But my little dog is a couch potato, so I tend to slow things down for him. So no matter how big, small, entergetic, or couch potato they are I can always live up to their lifestyle. I am available anytime. If I am not available I’ll message you if it does not work for my schedule. But it is rare for me to be busy. I would be more than happy to take your puppy out on a walk or taking out to go potty. I can also feed them and give them fresh water. If they need time to interact with somebody I can sit and play with them. If there is special request, just ask away I would be more than happy to try.
About: I’ve always loved cats and have experience caring for Felix and Orion, Matt’s dad’s cats, as well as our own two cats, Miles and Enzo. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, treats, and plenty of cuddles. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I’m happy to let them set the pace and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. As of right now I don’t have an office job so I could go by every day multiple times a day. And I could do house sitting over night almost any day. I treat both with the up most I respect and love. I try and treat people’s pets like family and their homes like I would my own.

About: Hello! I’m a long time pet lover and house sitter (of my own place) I have interacted with many pets of my friends and worked at animal shelters. My experience with pets starts in high school when I volunteered at the local animal shelter cleaning out kennels, grooming and playing with cats and dogs. I then graduated to being a pet auntie for my friends animals and then pet sitting for various clients. I love pets, they are adorable and I can’t wait until I can have my own! Until then, I guess I’ll just pet sit…. I work from home on most days, so my schedule is flexible enough to allow me to look after pets such as spending quality time, potty breaks, exercising via walks and playing with cat toys. When I care for pets in their home, I take care to read all of the instructions and look after the home. This can include administering medications, accommodating different diets and walking styles (such as the slow walkers, the sniffers, the neighborhood watchers). I make sure to leave the home the way I found it because that is what I would like if I was the pet parent.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Elm City is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $25 per walk.

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 Elm City. 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 Elm City 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 Elm City. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
