About: I have taken care of dogs of various sizes and ages for more than a decade. Coming from a rural community I always had contact and love for animals and as a young adult I have kept pets and cared for family and friends pets as well! I work in a hybrid role and am able to decide what days I go in to the office. My office is also relatively close by and I’m able to go home when need be to check on a fur baby. I have a fenced in yard and am able to crate your fur baby (as well as mine) if needed! I am typically home more than I’m not and am always happy to spend time with pets.

About: Hi All, My name is Alessandria but I prefer to be called Alekx and no the K is not a typo. My hair color is subject to change but it's just dyed hair braided into my natural hair. I have been caring for animals professionally since 2006, until 2013 where I took a leap in a different field of work. I use to move all over the country but I am home and hoping to start pet sitting as my main job. I have a guinea pig by the named Tikka Teacake and she is a little siren but she is my 3rd guinea pig. I am a non-smoker and prefer days curled up with fluffy creatures and a good book. In regards to my experience I have worked at pets resorts such as Sunny Acres where I had a few loyal dogs that I dearly miss. I have owned large dog breeds my whole life and grew up with pure breed Rottweilers, German Shepherd mixes, and my current lovely mutt. I have been doing home pet sitting for over a decade. I usually spend most the day when I am at home entertaining my pets or letting them have free run of the backyard with regular check ins. I make sure that their food is good for their stomach, their daily exercise if playing outside with a normal dose of petting and grooming. I recently got off of medical leave so I have started short nightly walks and we work out together to stay happy and healthy. I am a big night owl so I love watching my dogs snore about. A safe home is one your pet recognizes as the pack den. I care for all pets with repetitive training, health care checks, grooming, and dental care as long as they will let me. I love to make a home pet safe by avoiding choking hazards and loose cables. (Mainly because my guinea pig is a little menace). Medications are taken with timers and usually snuck into foods. I like keeping basic training habits are maintained so that the pets do not unlearn anything their humans have taught them.

About: Most of my experience is with dogs of friends or co-workers. I generally keep their dogs at their place where they are most comfortable and take them out frequently for walks/runs or whatever they'd like to do. So long as the dog is house trained and not on the "forbidden breed list" at the apartments I stay, they are welcome to my home too. I've sat a Pointer/Dalmation mix, Maltese mix, Shepherd mix, Chow Chow, Boxer, Cane Corso, and 2 Weimaraners in the past. My fulltime job is a nurse, and I only work 36 hours a week. I don't really consider pet sitting or walking a job because I love dogs so much. Just looking to make some extra income and maybe start my own business someday. I have a laid back personality and dogs tend to take to me immediately or at least stay true to their breeds. Chow Chow was my brother-in-law's dog who barked at me a good 3-4 times before she knew I wasn't a total stranger. Bothered me none.

About: I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments over the past decade. My experience ranges from the two extra small, now senior terriers in my family home to my two young, giant German Shepherds, who weigh a combined 200 pounds. I understand the importance of patience, adaptability, and understanding each dog's individual needs. I'm an empathetic and attentive caregiver who prioritizes safety, trust, and authentic connections with every dog in my care. I want every dog to feel comfortable, secure, and loved. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I make time to provide attentive, dependable care. I'm happy to work with your babies established schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially those who experience separation anxiety or feel nervous around new people. I'll communicate with you about scheduling and your pet's needs to ensure they receive thoughtful, reliable care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets. As the owner of two large German Shepherds, I understand the importance of secure handling, awareness, and respecting each dog's individual temperament. I take time to help animals feel comfortable with me and follow their owners' instructions closely. I respect your home, maintain a clean and calm environment, and never assume two pets have the same needs. I'm happy to follow feeding instructions, medication routines as directed, leash and crate preferences, and any other safety precautions you provide. Your fur babies comfort and well being will always come first.

About: I've been caring for dogs since 2014, when my family welcomed our own dog into our home. Because he was reactive around other dogs, I gained firsthand experience with consistent training, patience, and understanding canine behavior. Through structured training and positive reinforcement, I watched him become much calmer and more confident around other dogs, which taught me the importance of tailoring care to each dog's unique personality and needs. I've also fostered a puppy, giving me experience with younger dogs and the extra attention, playtime, and consistency they require. I love keeping dogs active by taking them on long walks and hikes, exploring new trails and neighborhoods while making sure they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. Whether your dog enjoys an adventure outdoors or prefers a slower-paced stroll, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while they're with me. I am currently a graduate student at Duke University, so I will have flexible time for your pup's needs! I am free all day on weekends, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday after 12pm, Thursday after 1:30pm. I am available to walk dogs during the day and typically enjoy local hikes around Eno State park. Your dog's safety is my absolute priority. During walks, I always keep dogs securely leashed unless we're in a designated off-leash area with the owner's permission. Since I have experience with reactive dogs, I stay alert of our surroundings and will avoid situations that may be stressful for dogs. When caring for pets at your home, my rule is to treat your home and dog as I would treat mine. This includes following feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and respecting house guidelines. I also make sure pets have plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and bathroom breaks. As an attentive dog owner myself, I understand the need for peace of mind while you're away. I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed about how your pet is doing. My intention is to make sure your pup is happy, safe, and healthy while you are apart.

About: I’ve pet sat my friends animals, and they’ve had so many! Senior dogs that have accidents and have behavioral issues. Exotic pets, of many kids. Every morning, I fill the cat and water bowl in my room, weekly I clean the bowls. For my dogs, whenever my parents don’t feed them cause they are out, I feed them and fill their water. I brush their coats, and try to give them baths every few weeks or so! However the pet parents would like, but I care for what is best for their health. I understand each pet is different and needs different things. I can bathe the animals depending on behavior, my right leg doesn't haven't as much feeling since surgery and cant handle a lot of big pressure.

About: I've grown up around animals for most of my life and have experience caring for both big dogs, small dogs, and cats. I grew up with 3 beagles, and have also helped neighbors, friends, and family care for their pets over the years. This has given me experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. I'm comfortable caring for dogs with medical needs and administering medications when necessary. I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide your pets with the attention and care they deserve. I will be at your home for the majority of the time, only popping out occasionally to grab food or run quick errands. I can easily adjust my day as needed for walks, potty breaks, feedings, playtime, and medication schedules. When I stay in your home my biggest priority is ensuring that your pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable while in my care. I pay close attention to each pet's normal routine, energy level, and feeding schedule, as well as any special instructions so they can stay as stress free as possible. I'm experienced with walks (both fast paced and slow), potty breaks, playtime, crating if needed, and giving pets space when they need it. Expect regular updates and photos from me, so you're never out of the loop!

Lots of sweet pictures and good vibes were sent during the visit. Alani is super chill and professional, and I'll be booking again so they can spend some time with Mal and help out our family.”

About: I've been surrounded by cats and dogs my entire life and have over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for them. I'm comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, and giving plenty of love and attention. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs. I cared for my own dog with epilepsy, administering his medication every day, and have helped nurse sick cats back to health by giving medication and closely monitoring their recovery. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I'll care for them as if they were my own. I'm self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, a walk, medication, or extra playtime, I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I strive to provide consistent, reliable care that fits their routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, administering medication, or simply keeping them company. I'll always treat your home with respect, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

About: As a lifelong equestrian, I’m a lover of all animals. I’ve done everything from walking dogs, feeding lizards, making friends with shy cats, to administering medication to horses. Animals bring me bunches of joy. I am committed to showing my appreciation for their love through kind, patient, enthusiastic care. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend soon! I’m a full-time graduate student at Duke University! I build my class schedule to be flexible and with plenty of time throughout the day to provide ample care for your pet. However, I do not book over three months in advance to account for sudden, unavoidable lifestyle changes. Both your pet and I will have a blast hanging out together! I love being active and playing, but enjoy a good nap and cuddle session on the couch just as much. Even if your pet is shy, I am willing to take the time to go at their pace to be comfortable. Whatever vibe they bring to the table, I can match it! I’m very thorough and meticulous about health and safety as well. Your pet will be in very good, loving hands.

About: Hello! I am a huge animal lover with extensive pet sitting experience. I will give your sweet pets the best care possible and treat them as my own. I grew up with multiple family dogs and began taking care of the dogs in my neighborhood from as young as 8 years old. Since graduating college and living on my own, I’ve adopted my own dog and two cats. My pets are my world and I’d love to be able to give your pets the exact same care while you’re away. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and breeds, though I would like a quick rundown of any quirks or behaviors that I need to be aware of during our time together. I have experience with intravenous and oral medication for both cats and dogs, as well as a handful of reptiles. I work full time from home but my daily schedule tends to be quite flexible. I can do drop-in visits/walks anytime throughout the day depending on location! I will always do my best to respect and follow the outlined rules and directions when taking care of your pet. I completely understand that some animals have their own quirks and requirements, so I always try my best to replicate their normal care routine to keep them as comfortable as possible. If there are any specific rules you'd like me to follow within your house, please share those as well! I want to make sure you're comfortable with me coming into your space to care for your pets.

Arwen was super sweet and patient with Mallory! She showed up on time and spent the bulk of her time outside with Mal even on a super chilly day. She made me feel comfortable during our meet and greet that she could match Mallory's vibe while out on a walk whether that was logging a mile or two or just stopping and sniffing nature.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Gorman is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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 of October 2026, there are 4,877 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gorman. 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 Gorman. 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 Gorman 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 Gorman. 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.

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.
