“My Mickey loved his walks with Sharon! She is obviously a dog lover. I'll be using her again in a couple of months when I'm out of town. It is such a relief to have someone reliable who my baby likes when I'm away.”
About: Hi! My name is Wednesday, and my pronouns are they/them. I've been using Rover since 2022 and have had dozens of wonderful clients! I've recently moved from Chapel Hill and am looking for new clients in the area. I have experience with many types of dogs, from newborn to senior or nervous to energetic. I've been fostering puppies since the age of 13, including a litter of 5 at two months and a litter of 8 newborn puppies in 2020 and 2021 respectively. I love dogs! I grew up around many and I now have my own named October. She does not come along with me on my jobs. I am dedicated to creating a safe and loving environment for your pets, along with clear communication and a trusting relationship with clients. Thank you for your consideration! I attend online school, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I always make sure before booking a client that I have enough time to dedicate to their pets so that they are properly taken care of! Communication is key! Before booking pet care, I do my best to get to know your dog, including their routine, temperament, and any other little quirks! We will discuss this information either through Rover, a phone call, and/or a Meet and Greet. My hope is that through these conversations you feel at ease leaving your pet in my care! My top priority is making sure your pet is comfortable, safe, and taken care of.
About: I’ve helped take care of my family dogs for many years. We’ve had dogs my whole life, and currently I’m helping care for our six month old puppy. So, I’ve had experience walking dogs, playing, feeding, taking out for potty breaks, naps, and many more. I’m currently on summer break, so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets! I’m happy to come anytime after 8:00am, and before 10:00 pm. I prefer not to work too late or overnight because I’m just not comfortable with it or driving when it’s really dark. I can’t care for dogs in my home because we currently have a puppy who is only sometimes ok with other dogs, and I live with my parents who won’t want other dogs around. But I’m happy to come over and care for them at your home. I’m comfortable with taking them out in the yard or walking them. And I can also crate them if need be. I’m comfortable with all dog breeds and sizes, unless they are aggressive.
About: I’ve grown up with pets, a dog and two cats. Pet sitting for my neighbors and watching my friend’s pets. I love animals and I hope they love me! I’m currently in school but my schedule is flexible, although most times I can’t do overnights. I’m available most to the entire day on weekends. I love to work on holiday breaks, whenever I’m free. I am very communicative about any pop up issues or schedule conflicts. I deescalate situations immediately with my cats whenever they fight. I’m good with separating problems but prefer to not work with aggressive or just mean animals.
“Krista was an absolute lifesaver for our family! We hired her to walk my mom’s dog after my mom injured herself in a fall. From our very first text exchange, Krista was incredibly warm, kind, and responsive. My mom absolutely loved her, and so did her dog, Millie. Krista was always on time, dependable, and wonderful with Millie. It gave our whole family such peace of mind knowing Millie was in such good hands. We are so grateful we found Krista and can’t wait to use her again. ❤️”
“Katie did a wonderful job dog walking our Bentley. She played with him tons & was patient with him on his walks. Her notes & photos were great & we can tell she genuinely loves animals & caring for them. We look forward to using Katie again.”
“Joanne has been walking my dog Lilly for a few months now, and has also done a couple of overnight stays with her. Lilly is an anxious dog who takes a lot of patience, and Joanne has done a great job! She’s always on time and very reliable, I would highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 11. I currently have two cats and two dogs, so I understand how important it is to give pets the love and care they deserve! Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy and safe while you’re away! I’m a part time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule to take care of pets throughout the day. I can easily adjust to fit each pets routine and make sure they’re happy and comfortable! I prioritize maintaining your pets routine to reduce stress. I follow all instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I also make sure your pet is feeling loved and comfortable while you’re away and make sure your home stays tidy and secure.
“Kourtney is great with our dog! She updated us about his walk and sent some cute pictures. He is high energy but she is patient with him and understands his puppy personality. So thankful to know she’s around to help out with him.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. In the past, I've pet sat a Golden Retriever puppy and an Australian Shepherd together, two Australian Shepherds and a Corgi, two Pugs (including a puppy), two Boxers, a German Shepherd puppy, a mixed-breed puppy, and several other dogs. I'm comfortable with energetic puppies, multi-dog households, and providing each pet with the attention, exercise, and care they need to feel safe and happy while you're away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. On Fridays, I am available all day, making it easy to accommodate longer visits, daycare, or overnight stays. Monday through Thursday, I am typically available after 2:00 p.m. once my classes are finished, and I can also accept bookings between classes when my schedule allows. I do my best to be flexible and work with each client's needs, so don't hesitate to reach out if you're looking for care outside of these hours—I will always do my best to accommodate your pet's schedule. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, administer medications if needed, and make sure pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I also keep the home clean by picking up after pets, cleaning food and water bowls, and maintaining litter boxes or outdoor potty areas. I respect my clients' homes by keeping everything tidy, following their instructions carefully, and sending regular updates with photos so they know their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they're away.
About: I have extensive, hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals—including dogs, cats, rodents, ferrets, and large livestock. I’ve worked with everything from small pets to high-drive working dogs and large animals like horses and goats. Professionally, I’ve worked as a dog behaviorist and trainer, managing playgroups, training dogs of all temperaments, and safely handling high-energy or reactive dogs. I’m confident in my ability to read body language, prevent issues before they happen, and create a calm, structured environment. I have experience training puppies, working with senior dogs, and administering medications. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior or health and know how to respond quickly if something seems off. I also currently work as an Equine Specialist, where I assist with horse care, training, and overall health, including exposure to veterinary care practices. What sets me apart is my ability to handle a wide variety of animals and situations with confidence, patience, and strong awareness of safety and behavior. My schedule is very flexible. I currently work part-time, which allows me to adjust my availability easily around pet care. I’m able to accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend needs, and I’m reliable for both consistent routines and last-minute bookings. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and specific needs to provide the best care possible. In my home, I offer a safe and structured environment with access to a yard, long lines for safe outdoor time, and nearby areas for both private and public walks, including lake and town settings. I use appropriate, safe equipment such as harnesses, gentle leaders, and martingale collars when needed to ensure control and comfort. In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions carefully and maintain your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I’m experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always prioritize calm, controlled, and positive interactions.
About: My fiance Eric and I have had dogs our whole lives and genuinely enjoy caring for animals, going on walks and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are available to take your pet/pets for walks multiple times a day, give them the attention they need, while offering them loving care throughout the day. We have a few greenways in our area where we will take your dog out for long walks. We have a small 15 pound Dachshund that loves company. Your dogs will be free to roam around the house with available food, water, and comfort.
About: I have a shih tzu of my own who is 16 yrs old, which has allowed me to get comfortable with dogs. I have taken care of many of my friends, family, and neighbors’ pets. I’ve pet sat many dogs and cats and even a frog! I love any opportunity to bond with animals and make them loved :) I am a college student, attending Wake Forest University. I am home for the summer and holidays with lots of free time to care for furry friends! I love to play with pets throwing toys, giving lots of love rubs along with making sure to tend to their biological needs. I am very attentive to each pet and stick to all instructions given by their owners. They know them best!
About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs and am a proud dog parent to a friendly 4-year-old Boxer. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like family. I have a large fenced-in backyard for safe playtime, plenty of great walking areas nearby, and access to local parks for games of fetch and exercise. My home is pet-friendly, and dogs are welcome on the furniture and can even sleep in our bed if that's what they're used to—we want them to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My Boxer is very friendly and loves having playmates, making my home a great environment for social dogs. He is older and well trained, so he knows when to relax around dogs who may not be as energetic as he is. Whether your pup loves to run and play or just wants a cozy place to relax, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I currently work remotely from home, so I am already in a routine of letting my dog out frequently. I have a screened in porch, so often times I work outside or downstairs while my dog is outside (he loves to bask in the sun on the turf on our deck). I want you to feel safe leaving your dog with us, so I will constantly send updates and photos of them during their stay. Any animal staying with us is treated like family. We love cuddles on the couch and time outside together.
About: It can be stressful leaving your dog behind, and we understand that first hand. We help alleviate any fears and treat your dog as a member of our family. We have two dogs of our own and know how important it is for us to know they are treated well whether we leave them with someone else or if someone stops in for care. We appreciate the trust our clients have in us and understand the immense responsibility whether your dogs are left with us or if we are granted access to your home. We have a house with large fenced in yard for play time with our little pack.For drop in visits, we make sure your dog feels comfortable in their own environment and gets the love and attention they may be missing during your absence. We love play time, but cuddle time is a favorite around here!
About: Hi! I’m a dependable pet caregiver with professional experience working in dog daycare, boarding, and dog training. I love caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities and always strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated every step of the way! Pet care is already a regular part of my routine. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and consistent care. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or check-ins, I’m committed to being reliable and giving each pet the time they deserve. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of love and attention. I also keep their space clean, monitor their well-being, and provide regular updates so you know your pet is happy and safe while you’re away.

Krista was an absolute lifesaver for our family! We hired her to walk my mom’s dog after my mom injured herself in a fall.

Krista was always on time, dependable, and wonderful with Millie. It gave our whole family such peace of mind knowing Millie was in such good hands.

It was our first time using Rover and we were so anxious since we were going to be away and were worried about our sweet dogs needs. But Julia made us feel at ease and was so kind and amazing with our dog. Our dog loved going on walks with her. She kept us upated on all the walks with rover card and we got multiple pics of our dog during each walk. Will highly recommend her and Julia we look forward to working with you again in the future! Thanks so much!
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Forestville on Rover is $17.76 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 4,949 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Forestville. 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 Forestville. 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 Forestville.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Forestville. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
