“Teresa is very professional! Before the first walk, she came by to meet my pup, which it was really nice to talk with her. It was my first time using Rover and was really happy Teresa was my first walker!”
“Williams was very courteous and even avoided knocking when he could hear my fiancé getting out dogs’ harnesses on so that they wouldn’t bark at the door, which was very thoughtful. Our dogs seemed to like him and enjoy their walk with him too!”
“Dargan is amazing with Wolfie! My dog is a rescue with some reactivity and she works so well with him. They gained each others trust quickly and are already best buds! We are weekly repeat client!”
About: While most of my pet care has been focused on cats, I do have experience caring for dogs as well. I have cared for animals of all different ages, health levels, and necessary care levels. I have experience with puppies and elderly dogs. I also have experience administering medicine to pets and caring for injured animals. I have some experience in grooming and upkeep of animals as well. In addition to Dogs and Cats I do have experience caring for all sorts of different animals. Including but not limited to snakes, hamsters, bunnies, lizards, ducks, and chickens. So, please feel free to contact me for any animal care you are searching for! I currently work part time at a restaurant and typically work 2-4 days a week. I am available before 3 or 5 pm the days that I am working, and I am currently available any time on the days I am not working at the restaurant. So my days off I have plenty of time to hang out with your little guys! Due to the fact that I have a young cat and roommates with allergies I cannot personally board animals. However, I am more than happy to care for your pet in your home. I am comfortable with walking any size of dog and am also comfortable with crating dogs and assisting in crate training. I am a very attentive person and notice any pattern changes in animals behavior. I am also very willing to answer any questions anyone might have! :)
“Jeffery is reliable and communicative. We’ve agreed that he’ll walk Zeek three days a week into the foreseeable future. I k ow Zeek already feels very happy with some uncle Jeffery time!”
About: I have never had a time in my life where I have never had a dog, so I am more than familiar with dog care. I have been relied upon for walks, feeding, playtime, and medicine distribution for both family dogs and friends’ dogs. I am a university student with a flexible schedule, but I do go home to work and over the summer. I would love to help you take care of your sweet fur babies whenever you need me! I have a fenced in yard where my two dogs are able to romp around a little bit and have good space to go to the bathroom. I also have a pool in the yard so they are able to swim and cool down. I adore spending quality time with dogs, so I love to hang out with them inside and play that way. I take dogs on walks at the very least once a day, weather permitting. When I am gone for a day, I take my dogs to Evergreen Pet Lodge, where they take incredible care of them and socialize until I can pick them up.
“What a find in Chad! All the reviews about how wonderful he is are spot on. Chad jumped right in and went above and beyond. I never worried a moment I was gone with Penny in his capable hands. Thank you!. Thank you!”
“Not only did Brittany take the BEST care of my sweet Penny, but she also documented it with tons along photos and written narrative. I felt completely in the loop. Thank you Brittany!”
About: I love, love, LOVE animals and will lavish TLC on your fur babies! I started taking care of my neighborhood dogs and cats when I was 10-years-old in Greenville, SC. It's stressful for pets to be boarded while their owners are away, so I try to make sure that they feel loved and secure when I take care of them. I give lots of belly scratches and am known by my doggie work neighbors as the Treat Lady. I take my pet-sitting responsibilities seriously and make your pet my priority when you entrust them in my care. I want to you to go away with a light heart, knowing that your dog or cat is in my loving hands and that I'll spoil them rotten...
“Shanavia made me feel so safe and comfortable. My dog is a little crazy but she was so patient and took the time to understand my dog and train her. She has become my go to walker!”
About: Ever since I was little, I have always had an animal companion at my side. I have experience with both senior pets with medical needs as well as puppies and kittens less than a year old. Wherever your pet is at in their life, I can handle it. I have a consistent schedule during the week and am available in the early mornings, lunch, and after 5. My weekends are completely free with the exception of Saturday evening when I work as a server. I am calm, gentle, and experienced with many animal personalities. Whether your pet is shy and nervous or bouncing and energetic, I will love them like my own!
About: I’ve grown up around all types of animals, not just cats and dogs. I’ve taken care of my own cat and dog for most of my life and will do anything to give them the love and care all animals need. I’m currently a full time student at the University of South Carolina. I love being a student but I also wanted to look into doing something on the side but that’s also fun. I think it’s always extremely important to be respectful of peoples homes. It’s a personal space where people are meant to feel relaxed and be themselves. Respecting my clients home would be top priority along with the care of their pet(s).
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and every family pet I have had has truly been my best friend. They bring a level of comfort and unconditional love that is impossible to match, which is why caring for dogs and cats has always come naturally to me. I am currently a graduate student, and throughout high school and undergrad, I volunteered weekly at local animal shelters, gaining hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and needs. Back home in Virginia, I have also been pet-sitting for neighbors and friends for the past 10 years, from quick check-ins and walks to overnight stays. I have experience caring for puppies and kittens who need patience and training, as well as senior dogs and cats who require medication and special diets. No matter the pet, I always make it my priority to ensure they feel safe, loved and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently out of school for the summer and working part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends. This allows me to accommodate a variety of drop-in visit and walking times, including mornings, afternoons evenings, and weekends. I love being active and spending time with dogs and cats, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine! I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and safe with someone new, so I always prioritize building trust and letting the dog and/or cat get to know me on their own time. I am more than happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure both the pet and the owner feel comfortable and confident. During drop-in visits and walks, it is my priority to follow each pet's routine as closely as possible and adapt to their own unique personality. I know how important safety is, so I will always make sure pets are secure on walks and closely supervised during visits. I also believe communication is key, so I will be sure to send all owners updates and photos for peace of mind while they are away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Acres
Pia was amazing! My dog, Lila, warmed up to her right after meeting. I loved getting updates from her and seeing cute pictures while I was away. Pia was great with communication as well even asking if I wanted to meet before she watched Lila to make me feel most comfortable! I highly recommend Pia if you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and treats your dog as their own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Forest Acres on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of July 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 1,028 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Forest Acres. 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 Forest Acres. 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 Forest Acres.

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 Forest Acres. On Rover:
- 98% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
