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: I have had various experiences with dogs and cats. I grew up around animals. I have dog sit and cat sit for friends and families for multiple years now and am very reliable. I have let sit for large dogs that are in older age and needs special care. I have also pet sit for multiple pets at once. It was a small dog and 2 cats. We went in walks, had cuddles, and played games. We even got to play with some toys. I am currently on summer break from teaching and am completely free. As I am not teaching right now I am able to be flexible to your needs of your pets. Whether that is going for a walk or going outside to play. I have my own apartment and it is animal friendly. Due to this the environment is very safe and inviting. In my home it is very calm and clean. This is important just in case your pet has allergies. Since I don’t have any pets myself I am able to give lots of care and attention to your pets.
About: I’ve grown up with animals and have always taken care of them. I just started pet sitting this year and look forward to doing it on the side when I’m not playing soccer! I am home from school for the summer so my availability is very free and flexible! I am a college athlete playing soccer so aside from my daily workouts I am always free to help make your day easier by spending some extra time with your pets!! I am there to help in any way possible with taking care of your pet whether that be dropping in for a visit or walking your dog.
About: I’ve cared for animals for years and currently have 6 cats and 1 dog of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling a variety of personalities and needs. I’ve helped take care of pets for friends and family, including feeding, walking, cleaning up, and giving them attention and playtime. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I’m patient, dependable, and always pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I make sure every pet is treated like my own. I have a very flexible schedule and am available days, nights, and weekends. I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays as needed. I’m reliable and can adjust to your pet’s routine to make sure they get consistent care, attention, and exercise. My dog can be a bit jealous around other animals, so for safety I’m most comfortable providing care in the client’s home, as well as walks and drop-in visits. I always follow instructions closely, pay attention to each pet’s needs and behavior, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also open to overnight stays and prefer to meet beforehand to build trust and make sure it’s a good fit for everyone.
About: I have helped take care of my own cats and dogs and have been trusted by multiple neighbors and friends for overnights and long weekends, including one dog with special medication and care needs. I am completing my bachelors degree online which allows me a very flexible schedule at this time. I am willing to do daily and will consider extended care if needed. I enjoy playing, cuddling, giving praise and love. I also like taking dogs for walks or playing in the back yard. Cats are a little harder to play with, but I try with the cat toys, and if that does not work, I will just sit and cuddle.
“Max loved Victoria. He taught her the entire path he walks and brought her back to the apartment. He had a great time and Victoria was good with him. I recommend her. She came before the appointment, met Max and the two seemed to bond.”
About: For as long as I could remember I’ve been my family’s go-to pet sitter. Anytime my Grandmother had a doctors appointment or my Aunt and Uncle left town, I would be their first choice. I love animals and caring for them, making them comfortable when their families are gone is not an easy task but easing their anxiety and keeping them comfortable is a very rewarding job. I’ve worked with rover in the past when I was in high school and it was a great experience. I am currently working part time but my schedule is relatively flexible. As far as boarding goes there is and will always be someone at the house caring for the dogs 24/7. I have a large plot of land adjacent to my house for the puppies to play in. I currently have three very friendly small dogs who love to play and make friends.

“Jennifer is amazing. I will use her again. We went away for a full week and she came to my home and took amazing care of our corgi, Khloe while we were gone. She took her on walks, fed & played with her. Khloe has never, in almost 10 years been boarded and I’m so glad we found Jennifer. She was able to stay in her own home while we were gone & be loved and cared for by a new friend. Use her. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Jennifer and thank you Rover.”

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!

“Kristen has a wonderful personality and made me and Gye, my 1 year old Akita, feel secure about her services. Nothing but good vibes. Her knowledge of greeting him, and handling him worked very well. She was extremely flexible, responsive and professional in our phone, text and email conversations. She followed the protocol left for her with no problems at all. I highly recommend her and will look to connect with her again. Thanks Kristen!”

I am currently a senior at WCU, but I live here near Greenville and will be here for the whole summer, holidays, and most weekends! I’m currently self-employed and have a lot of extra time on my hands to help take some time off of yours! I have a very large backyard that is fenced in, all my dogs love to run around in it.

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.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Elm City on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. 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 Elm City.

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:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
