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: Even as a kid, I was the primary caregiver for my childhood dog, Zoey. I took responsibility for making sure she was fed and watered, taking her for long walks and playing with her in our backyard. I knew that when I grew up, I would adopt a dog as soon as I could. A few months before I was discharged from the Marine Corps, I reached out to my hometown's local animal shelter about Baron. Baron was a 2-year-old, Boxer/Pit mix and from the moment I saw his picture, I knew he was going to be my boy. I called the shelter regularly to see if he was still there and let them know the day I could pick him up. I drove from my base in California to my Mom's house in Florida, dropped my stuff off, and immediately went to the shelter to adopt Baron. For the first few months I took him everywhere I went. All my friends and family knew that if Dan was coming, so was Baron. A few years after adopting Baron, I shared pictures of him with a girl I was talking to, and she immediately wanted to meet him. I took him for a walk with her and, as they say, the rest is history, she’s my wife. She brought two cats to the relationship, Teyla and Cara, and I eventually adopted a third cat, Ahsoka, with her. I cared for Baron together for 10 years. In 2022, he was diagnosed with bone cancer in his jaw, and we decided to try surgery, chemo and radiation. My wife and I got another 3 years with him, when the vet had told us he had 6 months to live. In 2025, his cancer returned, and he passed away just a few months before I got married. I spread some of his ashes at our wedding ceremony at one of the purest lakes in New Zealand and his name is engraved on our wedding bands. Shortly after saying goodbye to Baron, my wife and I adopted our fourth cat, Leia. I like to say she is Baron reincarnated because she follows me everywhere and has taken his place begging for food at the dinner table. I love meeting new dogs and cats, and have never met a dog that doesn't like me (I think everyone knows that cats aren't always that easy to win over!). As the caregiver for your pet, I bring years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I am experienced with delivering oral and topical medications, and hand feeding. I am experienced with obedience training and basic commands, crate training, walking on a lead, different types of dog collars, and off leash e-collar use. I understand how to safely have dogs meet, and what signs to look for to signal aggression, discomfort, fear, or playfulness when around other dogs. I understand that pets have routines and schedules, and I will adjust my day to make sure your pet can keep their routine. I know what it's like to have another person care for my pets, and I will make sure to send photos and messages with updates to let you know your pet is safe and happy. As a stay-at-home trophy husband and cat dad, my day is flexible and I can ensure your pet's care and comfort is my top priority. I am currently working part time so I have a flexible schedule to acommodate your pet's routine. Your pet will get a considerable amount of attention and care while I'm with them. I have used Rover in the past for my own dog so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, whether it's reinforcing good behavior or just giving lots of care and love, your pet's well being is my top priority. I'm available when you need me. From checking in on your pets while you are on vacation, taking your dog for a nice stimulating walk, or staying the night with your pets, let me know what works best for you! I will care for your pet in your home so they feel safe and comfortable. I will always have your dog on a leash and check the immediate area for other people/animals before leaving the house. I will respect your home like it's my own house, and I will follow your pet's schedule and house rules.

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 💗

About: I have been an animal owner since I was a child. I’ve cared for cats and dogs regularly as well as other animals including hamsters, snakes, and children ;) I am not currently able to have an animal of my own, so I find joy in caring for others’ pets. My son enjoys playing and caring for the pets with me! We recently relocated to the Raleigh area from Michigan and are excited to meet! I work from home, and have a flexible schedule, so I can easily accommodate a daily walk and regular potty breaks. However, a crate is required for overnight stays. I have a fenced in dog park with plenty of space for running and playing and a nice neighborhood with sidewalks for long walks! :)

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.

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: Hey there! 👋 I have been watching pets for over 10 years! I've always loved furry members of the family 🐶🐱 I currently work remotely so I can be around consistently throughout the day. I have no pets of my own, but my roommate has a cat, which is why I don't board or doggy day care any animals at my house. And it's my experience that animals usually feel more comfortable being cared for in their own homes that they're familiar with, so if you're planning on getting away, please let me play pet parent for a while 😁💐 I currently work remote, so even tho I may work 8+ hours a day, I'm there all the time and I'm able to have some flexibility for potty break let outs/feedings! I prefer to stay at the pet's regular home so they feel most comfortable and we don't have a fence or much have much yard at all at my house so it just works out better

About: I have been caring of furry family members since 2006. I owned and operated a very successful pet sitting company for 12 years and prior to that was a police officer and detective for 13 years. Since having children I have devoted my spare time to fostering dachshunds and providing quality pet sitting and dog walking services to many pet owners in and around Raleigh and Wake Forest. My family consists of 2 young human kiddos, 2 senior dachshunds - Maggie and Julie and two queen-bee cats named Autumn and Lucy. I’ve been a dachshund mom for 23 years and work closely and foster with Doxie by Proxy Rescue. My last 2 rescues were brought into our family at the ages of 12 and 13. I have experience with almost all breeds and ages of dogs and cats. I’m 49 and very responsible and trustworthy. I will care for your pets as if they are my own.... guaranteed! My schedule is fairly flexible as I stay at home with my 2 kids ages 7 and 9. Depending on the time of year (summer breaks and track outs may change my availability just slightly). Weekends and holiday are always open! I am very aware of a client’s home and what is expected as far as safety and trust. Being a former police officer, I am a trustworthy option. I strive to stick close to a client’s schedule and routine when it comes to the pet’s feedings, walks, potty times, and play. Most of my day is open to care for pets and provide dog walks! I so enjoy staying busy and spending my days with furry friends. I always try to stick closely to your pet’s schedule including walk/potty times and feeding. I am an early riser so morning visits are no problem!

I really appreciated the regular pictures and updates from their walks. This gave us peace of mind knowing Rocky was happy and in great hands. Her communication, care, and overall service were excellent. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitter. Rocky had a great time, and we will definitely be booking with 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

FAQs for Dog Walking - Forestville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Forestville is $18 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,910 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 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.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Forestville 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 , 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 .

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
  • 94% 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 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.
