“Sharon is absolutely WONDERFUL! She was able to accommodate a last minute request to care for Nala. Nala is a high anxiety dog and I always worry when I have to leave her. She immediately came up to Sharon during the initial meeting and showed no anxiety. Sharon let me know how my dog was doing and her behavior. Sharon was on time and provided excellent communication. 100% recommend Sharon.”
About: With 15 wonderful years as a pet owner, I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is in caring, responsible hands. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits. I’m committed to providing personalized care, keeping your pet comfortable and happy, and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet deserves patience, attention, and plenty of love— and that’s what I aim to provide! I am available with a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I am happy to follow specific instructions from pet owners. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so pets and their owners can feel comfortable and confident while they are apart. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I would follow the pet’s normal routine and the owner’s specific instructions. I would provide fresh food and water, give medications if requested and properly instructed, take dogs for walks or provide indoor exercise, and spend quality time with the pet so they feel comfortable and cared for. I would also clean up after the pet, maintain a safe and tidy environment, and give the owner regular updates so they know how their pet is doing. I would treat the client’s home with the same respect and care that I would want for my own home.
About: I've been around animals my whole life — I grew up with a Labrador-Retriever mix, a Pitbull, and another Lab, so I'm very familiar with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I'm also a proud cat owner, which means I'm just as comfortable caring for feline friends! Whether it's a playful pup or a shy kitty, I understand how to make pets feel safe, seen, and loved. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I'm available for walks and drop-in visits. I plan my time around giving pets the time, attention, and care they need — whether it’s a quick potty break, playtime, or some midday cuddles. You can trust that your pets will feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family — making sure they feel secure, loved, and right at ease while you're away.
“Keagan did a great job walking our Goldendoodle, Yogi! She is kind, punctual, and trustworthy. We look forward to booking Keagan to stay with him on our next trip out of town!”
About: Hi, I’m Summer. As a dog mom of four and having my oldest for 10 years now we have experienced the best years together. My passion is to provide that same care to your furry family while you’re away 💗 With working early hours in a bakery on a need be base, my schedule is flexible. I currently have two dogs and two fosters. They are all loving and have adapted quite quickly to our relaxed home environment as I’ve learned that is the best way for them to show their true personality and be comfortable. We go for frequent walks, rides in the car, visits to dog parks and their favorite, the beach! I have a fenced in yard and wish to bring the same safety and comfort to your furry friend while you’re away. I’m also familiar with the halo collar as one of our fosters is currently learning safety boundaries 💗
“Al is a 5 star sitter . He did care for my dog. He communicates and answers in time all the messages. He comes in time to walk my dog. He sends a lot of pictures during the walk. I highly recommend to hire him.”
“Taylor is great! She took such good care of my pup and he enjoyed his time with her. She was quick with communication and was able to accommodate my needs. Will def use her services again.”
“Jacob was able to accommodate a somewhat short notice request for walking my dog. He followed instructions, arrived on time each day, walked Opal, and included pictures on her walk cards. Jacob is reliable and trustworthy.”
About: I have been taking care of my own animals for as long as I can remember. I have 2 cats and had a dog for over 17 years. My neighbors and family have trusted me to take care of, feed, walk, and play with their animals for over 5 years. I am officially out of school for the summer May 28, and can pet sit anytime after! I plan to be away around half of the weekends in the summertime, but weekdays are pretty much open! I always keep a close eye on all animals, and treat yours like my own! I love playing with fur babies, as well as making sure they get to rest, eat, and be outside.
“Thank you so much!! This made my whole day 🥹 Jersey is my old lady so she definitely moves a little slower during the day — totally normal for her! So glad there were no soupy surprises downstairs lol. We would absolutely love to have you walk them again — so happy they were good for you!! 🐾💕”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and puppies for over 5 years and grew up helping take care of puppies from a young age. Being around animals my whole life has taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I’ll provide patient and reliable care tailored to their needs. I’m currently available most weekdays and weekends and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I make it a priority to keep pets on their normal routine and provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments and always make sure pets are supervised and secure. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs, and I can separate pets or use a crate if needed. I follow any instructions provided by owners carefully and will make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for during their stay.
About: As a work-from-home professional, I can keep your fur baby company all day long, and check in multiple times a day. Does your energetic herding dog need twice-daily walks or visits to the dog park? No problem -- they're just like the Australian Shepherd I grew up with and the Rough Collie I petsit regularly. I am also an ardent cat lover with experience caring for my aging childhood cat (age 20+), as well as a skittish rescue with seasonal allergies. If you have a senior cat who needs extra care or shy kitten who needs daily medication, I'm the petsitter for you. I have an extremely flexible schedule and can accomodate boarding every day of the week. I'm also available for daycare across Raleigh, although I may have more limited availability on Wednesday and Thursday nights, as well as Sunday afternoons and evenings. Feel free to ask about my schedule! I live in a townhouse with a small, fenced-in patio and my one cat. She is typically kept in a separate part of the house during boarding, so I can accommodate animals who are reactive to cats. The yard is great for smaller dogs who enjoy being outside, but I can also care for larger animals who need lots of exercise!
About: i have plenty of experience with animals i helped train 2 of my golden retrievers and i trained all of the cats to go into the litter box. i’ve been around animals my entire life!! i currently have 3 dogs and three cats and chickens. so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. from playful and energetic pets to more shy or relaxed ones, I’m comfortable adjusting to what each animal needs. i understand how important it is to feel confident and at ease when leaving your pets with someone, and I always treat every animal like my own. i pay close attention to their routines and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.
About: I am someone who ensures rules. I will love your dog, but will make sure that they understand who is in charge. I love making a dog happy by allowing them to roll in the grass, run around with me, and teaching them to do tricks (that are allowed by the owners). I am currently enrolled in University, and have much time between classes to do check ups and to spend time with your pet. I also hav time for early morning walks and evening walks too. I do not have a place where I can have a dog come over. I care for dogs through playing with them in the yard, going to the park, giving them hugs, and petting them. I also give baths…upon request!!!
“Marissa has been doing a great job with my dog! She’s so easy to communicate with and has really helped me out on days when I can’t walk my dog in the late morning or afternoon. She also takes him for a long walk and uploads good photos as well.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Forestville is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forestville
Amber was absolutely amazing with Archer! From the start, it was clear that she’s experienced, dependable, and truly knows what she’s doing. She took such great care of him and gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. It can be hard to trust someone else with your dog, but we felt completely comfortable with Amber. She was attentive, reliable, and treated Archer like he was her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend her without hesitation. We’ll definitely be using her again!
This woman is GODSENT. Like I came back and my dog looked so healthy and happy, like he literally looked so good & I say that because most days when I’m gone longer than a week I come back and my dog looks distressed. I hadn’t used Rover since a woman came to my home and just wouldn’t take her time with my big Amstaff & Savannah? Nope, not her she got right in there, and literally was so sweet to my baby. Like when I tell you God sent she’s God sent, professional, attentive, she did the DAMMMM THING. If she’s accepts, she’s now Oji’s routine baby sitter

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 Forestville. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
