About: I am able to provide puppy training if needed. I can provide walks multiple times a day if needed. I have cared for dogs since childhood and college. My current dog is very friendly with others and would love the company throughout our day. I am available at home to care for your pet every day of the week in any way. My routine is very simple and effective for my own dog and can be adjusted if needed be to accommodate to your own pet needs. I am able to ensure your pet will have plenty of time outside of crates/cages and receive plenty of play time. I can also provide daily updates if needed.
“Megan always does a wonderful job walking Cooper when I’m at work! She is very communicative and provides an update about each visit and photos from the walk and/or playtime. She goes above and beyond what is asked of her when needed - today, she arrived to find that Cooper had gotten into the trash and littered it all over the downstairs. Without complaint or me having to ask her, she cleaned all the trash up while I was gone and then let me know what had taken place. This is just another one of many reasons I would highly recommend Megan if you’re ever in need of her services!”
“Trevor has been incredibly caring and loving to my puppy Leia, hes always been great, communicative and cared for her as well as I do. Would recommend trevor to anyone!”
About: What makes me stand out as a pet sitter is my ability to connect with animals of all personalities and needs. Whether it's a playful kitten, a shy senior cat, or a mischievous puppy, I tailor my approach to ensure comfort and happiness! I am currently a student at North Carolina State University but have plenty of time throughout my day/week to tend to animals and take care of them whether planned far in advance or with short notice I will do my best to make time for clients and of course their pet(s)! When caring for pets, whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm and comfortable environment for your furry friend. Here’s how I ensure their well-being: Routine & Comfort: I respect your home and your pet’s established routine. From feeding schedules to playtime and exercise, I make sure your pet’s day runs smoothly and comfortably. Safety First: I always keep doors and gates securely closed to prevent escapes or accidents. I also ensure that the environment is free from any hazards or potential dangers. Communication & Updates: I keep you informed with regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away, knowing your pet is safe and well-cared-for. Trust & Reliability: I build trust by being punctual, reliable, and transparent. I always follow specific instructions from pet owners, whether it's about feeding preferences, medical needs, or behavioral quirks.
“Sarah was a wonderful sitter to take our girl, Millie, off of our hands for a few hours so we could celebrate our baby shower! I would not hesitate to have her watch Millie again! Thank you Sarah ?”
“Jordan has been so great taking our dog on walks! She is reliable, has great communication, and our dog loves her daily visits and walks. Highly recommend her if you are looking for a dog walker!”
“Joan is very patient with my somewhat aggressive dog. She arrived on time everyday and was super sweet with Tiger. She really goes above and beyond to bond with Tiger. I am definitely booking with Joan in the future.”
“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.”
About: Both my husband and I have always had multiple pets in our homes since we were little and we wouldn't have it any other way! We have experience with everything from puppies to elderly dogs, from Chihuahuas to German Shepherds. We have two labs - Cam (red) and Bear (chocolate) - who love every dog of every size, breed, and age and get along well with cats too. Possible discounts for multiple days and/or multiple pets. We're excited to meet your best fur friend! We currently work from home with extremely flexible schedules. We do always need to do a meet and greet before booking services just to make sure everyone is a good fit. We have a lot of experience caring for and loving animals. Currently we are only offering drop-in visits and walks, but will happily come by to take care of your animal friend.
About: Hello! 😊 Marica here, NC pet sitter dedicated to providing you and your pet(s) the best service around! My pet-sitting services include daily and overnight sitting, walking, feeding (pets with medical complications are welcomed), and playing!

We absolutely love our dog walker! Malak absolutely adores her, and I love that he gets daily walks and plenty of attention while I’m at work. I always receive the cutest pictures and videos. She is also incredibly accommodating and always goes above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend her more. 11/10 every time!

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 .

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 Garner. 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 Garner.

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 Garner. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
