About: I’ve been around big dogs for as long as I can remember, and now I have two big pups of my own! I’m very comfortable with energetic, playful dogs because, trust me, mine definitely give me a run for my money! I’m happy to help with dog walking or drop-in visits to support you and your pup’s needs. I have experience with dogs ranging from those with separation anxiety to pups with very high energy levels. Every dog has their own quirks and personality, just like humans do! I’m patient, understanding, and more than willing to meet your pup where they’re at. Whether they need to burn off some extra energy, get some attention while you’re away, or just have someone there to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I am currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule so as long as as I have enough time to plan / schedule visits I am usually available While I do not care for pets in my own home, I am more than happy to come to your pup and care for them in the environment where they feel most comfortable! I’ll do my best to stick to their normal daily routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, or lots of snuggles. I’ll make sure they get all the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away.

About: I have experience with dog sitting for 10+ years. I will go out of my way to make sure they are healthy, safe, and loved under my care. I am detail oriented and committed to giving you complete peace of mind while your pet is under my care. I also have base access! I have 10 years of owning and training puppies basic commands while at home. I would love to help you out as well if needed. Basic commands consist of come, sit, stay, down, paw, roll over, spot, center, heel, and leave it. I am currently in school full time but online, so I can easily work around your schedule. Being a college student online gives me extreme flexibility through the week. I am so excited to meet your furbabies! I currently live in an apartment. I normally crate my puppy when I’m not home. I can do the same for you if needed. Anything that is needed I will be willing to do my best to accommodate to that.

About: Puppies need time, patience, and most of all fun! Most of the time, puppies are stripped away from their families and are just looking for their pack. It is very important to create a safe environment and show love towards dogs. They are our protectors, and we are their caregivers I am retired. Although my husband is in the military, I do have free time most of the week. I am more than willing to be flexible and to also be a routine caregiver. For both dogs and cats, I do have two cats and one dog. I understand that while my pets are family, they are all individuals. I will take the time to learn each pet as an individual and not generalize their species.

About: Hey I’m Dayana! I’ve always loved animals, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. My goal is to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have a 6-year-old Pit Bull of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling larger breeds.

About: I've been pet sitting for the past 4 years, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. In addition to my professional experience, I've grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I understand that every pet has their own routine and unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether that's walks, playtime, feeding, administering simple medications, or just providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I've built a strong reputation through word of mouth for being dependable, trustworthy, and compassionate. I'm excited to use this platform to connect with more pet owners and continue providing reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their families peace of mind. Pet care is a big part of my daily life! After completing four years in the Marine Corps, I now have a flexible schedule that allows me to focus on caring for pets. I regularly babysit, dog sit, walk dogs, and care for cats whenever opportunities arise, so my days are centered around providing dependable care for families in my community. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I love being able to give pet owners peace of mind while they're away. Whether it's sticking to a pet's routine, going on walks, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. As a former Marine, I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and take responsibility seriously. I'll carefully follow your pet's routine, respect your home, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they're doing. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and cared for while you're away. Whether they need lots of playtime and exercise or prefer quiet companionship and cuddles, I'll tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I treat every pet—and every home—with the same level of respect and care that I would expect for my own.

My husband and I are a pet care team located just minutes from Ft. Bragg, and we treat every pet in our home like one of our own.

With over 2.5 years of experience on Rover and hundreds of successful bookings, your pet will be in great hands. 💬 Why Pet Parents Love Us: We’re not just pet sitters, we’re pet lovers. We take pride in creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment that helps your pet feel at home while you’re away. We send daily updates and photos, follow your care instructions closely, and treat your pet like family. Our clients appreciate our communication, flexibility, and dedication. Many return again and again! 🐶 For Dog Parents: 🏡 Home & Yard Setup: • Large fully fenced backyard for exercise, play, and sunbathing. • Three rooms in the house, separated with gates for comfort and safety. • Indoor and outdoor security cameras for peace of mind. • Dogs are crated when we step away from the house to ensure everyone stays safe. If your pup isn’t crate-trained, let us know and we’ll make special arrangements. • We accept multiple bookings, so your dog may have playmates during their stay. If your dog needs solo accommodations or doesn’t get along with others, just let us know in advance. • Please ensure your dog arrives clean for their stay. Note: Unfortunately I cannot accept boarding bookings for unneutered male dogs. I would be happy to do house visits instead. 🌙 Nighttime Routine: We stick to your dog’s usual bedtime habits, whether that means a crate, a special blanket, or cuddling on the couch. Just let us know what helps your pup feel secure at night! 🐾 Behavioral Support: We’re experienced with shy, anxious, or high energy dogs and can accommodate special routines or extra space if needed. Communication is key, let us know your dog’s quirks and we’ll take care of the rest. 🐕 Resident Dogs: • Archer and Xeena are playful and full of energy, great for social dogs! • Koda is sweet and mellow, she prefers human company and usually hangs out in our bedroom. All three are medium sized, dog and cat friendly, and well socialized. 🐱 Resident Cats: • Zuko is our playful kitten who acts more like a dog. • Calypso prefers her independence and lounges in her cat tree, but she’s dog aware and unbothered. If your dog isn’t cat friendly, we’re happy to keep our cats in a separate area of the home. 🚗 Pickup & Drop off: Need help with transportation?

Emily took care of my two rescue dogs over Thanksgiving, dropping in and walking them several times a day. She was extremely reliable, always communicative, and even my skittish senior girl warmed to her immediately. I highly recommend her - I didn’t worry about my dogs for a minute while she was caring for them!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Fort Bragg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Fort Bragg on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,077 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fort Bragg. 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 Fort Bragg. 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 Fort Bragg.

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 Fort Bragg. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
