About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets. I’ve been a vet technician since 2018 .I currently have 1 cat, 2 dogs, 1 parrot and even chickens, so I understand how important it is to give every animal attention, patience, and loving care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pets company, I’ll treat them like family while you’re away. I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines, and I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m available evening. after my shift at the vet during the week and available on weekends anytime . In drop by visit, or sitting for a few hours. I love meeting new fur friends and am comfortable caring for pets with anxiety, disabilities, or medication needs. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to give every pet the love and care they deserve.

“Mike is an amazing dog walker, so great with my anxious dog Emma! He’s so patient and kind with her, she now lets him rub her belly - a miracle! I appreciate how thoughtful and considerate he is, even making arrangements for a replacement when he’s on vacation. Really puts my mind at ease knowing I have him to rely on during the day!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds, from tarantulas and fish to horses, donkeys, and just about everything in between! Whether your pet has fur, feathers, scales, or eight legs, I'm committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. I have extensive experience working with puppies, senior pets, and reactive dogs. I'm comfortable training puppies by reinforcing good habits and routines, administering oral and topical medications, and providing the extra patience and attention that senior pets need. I'm also known for my ability to build trust with reactive, anxious, or shy animals by moving at their pace and creating a calm, low-stress environment. Every pet is unique, and I treat each one like they're my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they're in experienced, capable hands. I pet sit full time so I am always available to take care of your pups! I am comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments. I am very respectful of your and your pet’s home, always following directions and daily care. I don’t offer boarding currently but I do offer overnight visits.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs small and large since 2016 for family friends and neighbors. I have a real passion for animal care and my utmost priority is to make sure the well being of your pet is at an all time high. I’ve also gone through online training courses for dogs and cats detailing proper care techniques. Thursday afternoon's from four to six are my only recurring schedule block currently. I will update this when or if this ends up changing. I can tailor the visit to how best it is to fit your pet’s needs. On visits where a potty break is needed, they will be taken out and given treats and lots of love with some fresh water. On meal visits they will be given their meals and fresh water with lots of love as well. On overnight visits I follow the directions exactly and leave the place and the pet(s) looking and feeling better than when I arrived.

About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I am also insured! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.

“I came into town for work and needed a walker on short notice. After contacting Shannon and having the initial meet and greet, she agreed to take Staynz for his walk while I was at work. She was on time and Staynz enjoyed getting out of the hotel room especially since we were in a strange area to him. I recommend Shannon to anyone that is looking for someone who will care for your pet and most of all be reliable on short notice.”

About: Hello! I'm currently a nursing student that has a love for all animals and if I wasn’t going to be a nurse I’d definitely be a Vet! I have 14 years of experience with caring for all sorts of dogs. I can do senior care and puppy care whatever you may need! I have flexible availability if I’m ever not available I prioritize clear communication over anything else. Just let me know what you need and I got you and your precious pet! I hope that your best friend can become mine as well! Currently I’m a full time nursing student, which makes working a regular 9-5 or hospital 12hr shifts quite difficult. I’m big on communication, I will always lay out my current hours as I’m in an accelerated course. I have a fenced in yard, and I live in a neighborhood that is super pet friendly where I can safely take your dog on walks.

About: hello! my name is Carrington. I'm 28 years old. I have a 5 year old husky mix named Shadow. I love animals and always have had them growing up. As a little girl when I lived in Michigan, I used to walk the neighbor's dogs. I even babysat my friend's dog and her puppies while on vacation because she only liked me and allowed me and her family near her and the puppies. I love playing at the dog park with my dog, training, going for walks, and just overall spending time with dogs. Honestly, I spend more time with my dog than most people. if you are interested in me walking your dog or taking care of your dog please message me! I hope you have a great day :) I am currently not working and going to school full time (online zoom classes) so I am available usually anytime :) my classes are on Tuesday’s and Thursday from 6pm-7pm I will make sure to keep your house the way it was, if not better. If I am staying at your house I will make sure to clean up after myself and your dog if there is a mess.

About: Hey👋🏾, your pup's new bestie here! A little bit about me. I was born and raised on a farm here in NC, so I've always been outdoorsy. My first dog was a hundred pound German Shepard named Dee Dee. I was 5 years old then and we grew up together. Dogs have been apart of my life ever since. Growing up I was fortunate to have horses, chickens, cows and cats. I still love them all but now my focused is on dogs primarily. I have french bulldogs and a lovely husky mix I rescued named "Dex". I communicate well with animals and I'm good with them. I worked as a Vet tech for several years after high school. I then went on to become a Practice Manager for a Vet Office in Charlotte. I am now working to create my home into the perfect pup resort/paradise. I would love to have new and regular clientele so there is comfort between your dog and I. I don't mind taking your dog to groomers or doctor appointments if needed and I can do pick up and drop off from my home within 15 miles too. I do ask that I am informed of any health issues or behavioral issues up front. Please know that I will treat you and your babies with love and respect. Thats my garauntee! I am a full time dog breeder and currently have no expected litters so I have open availability. I can also board overnight (up to date vaccinations required). I can do drop-ins and walks also. I don't mind taking your 🐶 to their favorite parks. I have a clean acre yard with a fenced playpark on it. I have a heated & A/C Dog Hotel and dogs have their own suite. I own 5 friendly frenchies, for your dog to have friends to play with if you choose. Meal times and medications is at your choosing. Depending on weather determines what activites we do that day. Whatever we do we will have fun.

About: I’m a big dog and cat lover. I have owned and taken care of my own pets for at least the last 6+ years. I take pride in a job well done. I have been working for a vet for the last few weeks and have picked up a few key thing to look for if your animal is sick or having problems. I am home most of the time which gives me great opportunity to focus on your fur babies. When you leave your pet in my care it will be as if you never left. I will give them the undivided attention they need to keep them calm and happy. I love all animals and look forward to taking care of your fur babies.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Fork

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,279 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fork. 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 Fork. 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 a map of the walking route , 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 Fork 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 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 Fork. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
