Caroline is truly amazing! And so good with big dogs. Tripp is always SO EXCITED to see her. I had a family emergency arise and she stepped in with care and attentive communication, allowing me to tend to my family without worrying for my dog. I highly recommend Caroline for your dog needs

About: With a lifelong passion for animals and hands-on experience spanning decades, I provide reliable and loving pet care you can trust. I have over 20 years of experience caring for cats and 15 years of experience with Bernese Mountain Dogs. I am passionate about animals and understand the patience, attention, and care they need to feel safe and happy. I am experienced in daily routines, feeding, playtime, companionship, and providing attentive, loving care while families are away. I’d love to help care for your pets—please feel free to reach out to discuss your pet care needs! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I have flexibility in my schedule to provide dependable care. I’m available for regular visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual routine and their family’s needs. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for every pet. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by their family. I keep a close eye on pets and make sure they are in a clean, secure, and comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home and belongings with the same respect and care I would want for my own. My goal is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their families are away, and for owners to have peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands.

Lima did a great job taking caring of Riley and bringing him for his walks while I was at work. She sent me videos and photo updates and left rover cards both days. I really appreciated all of her help and Riley enjoyed the extra love he needed during the day

Priscilla saved the day accepting my request at very short notice. I had a 12 hour shift to work and no coverage for Louis. Additionally, I realized at the end of that 12 hour shift that I had no coverage for the next two days due (in no small part to a massive house move that had just occurred). Again, Priscilla came to the rescue and helped me for the next two days. She is a great communicator and a clearly dedicated professional.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love being around animals. I’ve also worked as a dog and cat sitter, helping with walks, feeding, drop-ins, and overnights. I’m very reliable and pay attention to the little details so your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, can help with basic puppy training, and am comfortable giving medications if needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always try to make it a fun, positive experience, whether that’s a good walk, playtime, or just extra cuddles. I have a flexible work schedule and am able to fit pet care easily into my day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and some overnights (around my kids schedules), and make sure pets are cared for on a consistent schedule. I’m reliable and always plan ahead so your pet gets the attention and routine they’re used to. I always follow the owner's instructions closely, make sure collars/leashes are secure, and pay attention to any specific needs or behaviors. I’ll also keep you updated so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. On walks I always pay attention to my surroundings to keep your dog safe. I'm not there to pay attention to your beloved dog, not get distractes by my phone or anything else.

Michelle is an absolute gem of a dog walker! From the moment she met my Guster, I knew we were in good hands. Her genuine love for animals is clear in everything she does — from the way she greets Gussy with enthusiasm each visit, to the thoughtful updates and photos she sends after every walk. Michelle is dependable, professional, and truly treats Guster like her own. My dog lights up when she sees Michelle, and I have total peace of mind knowing hes being cared for with such kindness and attention. Rain or shine, Michelle always shows up with a smile and ensures my biy gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. Finding someone you can trust to care for your animal as you do is no small thing, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found Michelle. If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, caring, and simply amazing with dogs — look no further. Michelle is the best!

I have experience caring for, amphibians, reptiles, small exotics, chickens/baby chicks, goats, puppies, elderly dogs, high energy and anxious dogs, cats and kittens.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Higganum

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 2,571 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Higganum. 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 Higganum. 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 Higganum.

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 Higganum. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
