About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs my entire life. I have pet sit for family members throughout my life and have experience with reactive and over-excited furry friends. I aim to treat every pet with the care and love that I treat my own. I work a very flexible schedule as a server and have lots of availability during the daytime before 4pm. I have varying flexibility on nights and weekends but my schedule allows me to be available when lots of pet owners are working or busy during the day! I have lots of experience dog walking and caring for cats outside of my own home. I want to ensure every pet feels comfortable and cared for so I make sure to follow any special instructions provided. I understand that meeting new people can cause some anxiety for some pets and I work hard to create a comfortable environment. I am very familiar with crate training and walking reactive dogs that might need a little more support.

“Christa was amazing! This was my first time using rover and I got so lucky that she’s so awesome. Ross got some great walkies in and I loooooved getting the report cards. Highly recommend her and I would wholeheartedly book with her again”
“Megan was so wonderful! She had great communication and followed all of my instructions carefully. She was so awesome for her walks with my dog. Will definitely be using her and recommending her in the future!”
“They always go above and beyond and take care of not only my dog but keep me updated with my cats as well! I am so lucky to have them take care of my animals when I’m gone !!🫶🏻”
About: Over the past two summers, I have gained great experience watching not only my own dog but also pet sitting for my friends and family. I am incredibly reliable and my top priority is always keeping your pets safe and comfortable. I am also super active and absolutely love going on long walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fun outdoor time with me! I currently work a part-time job, which gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care. I am always free in the early mornings to take your dog out for walks, potty breaks, and fresh air before my day starts. Depending on the day of the week, I am also available for evening visits, dinner feedings, and nighttime care. When caring for your pet in your home, safety is my absolute highest priority. I treat your home with total respect and strictly follow all entry, feeding, and care instructions. During our walks, I keep dogs on a secure, short leash, stay highly alert to our surroundings, and make sure they get plenty of fresh air and exercise while staying completely safe.
About: I had two rambunctious but precious dogs growing up, so I'm not put off by a tough exterior. I know a mean bark does not equal a mean soul. I've dog, cat, and house sat for friends and teachers in the past, and most recently I've been volunteering at Addie Catz Sanctuary, so I'm well accustomed to cleaning messes, navigating reactive animals, and loving on pets. I'm more than happy to answer any questions :) I have obligations from 10am-12pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, but otherwise I'm completely available until college classes start on August 19th, when my hours will be cut back every weekday morning (busy from 9am-12pm). I don't mind early morning walks and feeding. I'll be asking a lot of questions to ensure my care is tailored to your pet's needs, and to build your trust in my capabilities. I'm more than happy to learn the kennels, feeding systems, and "flow" of animal care in your own home to avoid the unnecessary stress and change for pets that comes with boarding.
About: Hello, my name is Madison and I am a film student at Cape fear in Wilmington. I grew up on a farm in Ohio, and have had more pets and critters than I can even count in my life. As I’ve gotten older, my husband and I are very passionate about caring for older and special needs animals along with untraditional pets, such as rabbits, snakes, rats, etc. I provide all services from drop-in feedings walking to overnight stays. I am completely available Friday through Sunday. I only have one class Mondays and Tuesdays. And I’m at the Cape fear community college the majority of the day Wednesday and Thursday. I am, however, open to flexible scheduling and making sure all needs are accommodated for your pets. Both my cat and my dog are some of the most incredibly spoiled animals that you could ever meet. Not only does our senior rescue pitbull get two full walks a day, her partner in crime are kitten, who is less than a year old both have lavish treats, and I have more comfortable sleeping quarters than the humans in the house
About: I have experience with Elderly dogs as well as puppies. I have some experience with training and am able to assist with simple commands like sit, stay, and heel. I have experience with reactive dogs as I used to have one of my own, and am very good at soothing stressed animals and keeping them under control. All types of pets are welcome. I live in a more rural area of Wilmington and have a large fence surrounding my house. Most days, my schedule is very flexible and open, and I am able to give my full attention to the pets staying with me. I am a very diligent caretaker, always keeping an eye on the pet and taking time to determine what they need when they express distress. I am very active and love being in nature, so I am happy to take as many walks as might be necessary, go to the park, or even go swimming!
About: I have had a furry friend in my life in some form or another since I was very young. I have experience with both more reactive and friendly breeds and have no preference on the kinds I work with. I use patience and understanding to make them feel safe. I worked professionally as a dog walker and pet sitter for two years to multiple dogs and can bring love and affection to any animals in my care. I am responsible, punctual and a great communicator and can be an asset in caring for your dog or other animals while you are away or on a regular basis for walks. I work 4 nights a week from 3pm-11pm downtown. I am not opposed to early morning visits or late nights visits if required and am available for overnights. I do a walkthrough with owners of exact locations for all your pets, learn their quirks, the things they love and don’t like and what might come up during my stay with them. I answer all phone calls and texts from owners while they are away to ensure they feel safe and comfortable knowing their animals are properly cared for.
About: Hi there! I'm a former veterinary technician who spent years working hands-on with animals. While I loved the work, the field could be a bit emotionally heavy at times—so I decided to step back and find a happier, more balanced way to stay close to the animals I adore. That’s what brought me to dog walking and drop-in visits! I truly enjoy long walks and runs with my own dogs, so if you have an active pup who needs a good workout, I’ve got you covered. I share my home with two big dogs and two cats, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. All of my animals have special diets and unique needs, so I’m extra careful and experienced when it comes to following feeding instructions, administering medications, or keeping routines just right. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s exactly how I see them. I'm an aspiring actress and also work as a bartender, which gives me a flexible schedule. I typically work Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7 PM to close, and Fridays and Saturdays from 12 PM to 7 PM. While I have other commitments throughout the week, I’m great at managing my time and can usually adjust my schedule to make room when needed. I take the care of animals very seriously—both in my home and in my clients’ homes. My own pets have taught me how important it is to be attentive, patient, and detail-oriented. I have two big dogs and two cats, all of whom have special needs. One of my dogs only has three legs and has been through extensive rehabilitation and medical care, so I’m very familiar with mobility issues, post-op routines, and the importance of adapting exercise to the animal’s capabilities. All four of my pets are on different prescription diets and medications, so I’m experienced in administering meds properly, sticking to feeding routines, and keeping a close eye on health and behavior changes. Whether I’m caring for animals in my own home or visiting yours, I bring that same level of attentiveness and compassion. Every pet is unique, and I always take the time to understand and follow their specific needs and routines to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.
About: I’ve had cats my entire adult life and have always taken care of the pets of family and friends when they go out of town. Pets are family and I treat them with the love and care that they deserve. I love dogs as well as cats and have experience caring for both. I have availability in the mornings (earlier is better) as well as evenings and I am very flexible on weekends. I am willing to work with you in order to meet your needs and what works for you. My senior cat Miles recently passed away sadly. He was diabetic and we gave him daily pills for his heart murmur. I have experience giving insulin shots as well as convincing your pets to take their pills! I also understand senior pets have increasing needs as they get older.
About: I am 26 years old and have grown up with black lab and 2 cats. I have been dog sitting since I was 14 years old and have continued to dog sit for regular clients in my hometown for the past 12 years. I recently moved to Wilmington NC and would love to start dog sitting again. I am friendly and reliable and understand that all dogs have different needs. I would be happy to hop on a call to introduce myself to make yourself feel more comfortable. Looking forward to helping out with your pups! I work fully remote and make my own schedule 90% of the work week beside the occasional one off meeting. I am happy to come over to walk your pet, play with them, check on their food, or host small dogs at my apartment. I am flexible to your needs! I'm am flexible to your dogs needs. I understand that all dogs should be treated and cared for based on their needs while also providing safety measures at all times. Supervision is key and making sure we pay attention to details always so that your pup is happy and healthy. As for hosting a stay, my apartment is fenced in and dog friendly.
About: Hello! I'm Paiton and I LOVE animals! I have 5 dogs, one lizard, and a bunch of plants. I spend my time caring for my pets, making sure each one has the quality of life they deserve. I am super cautious about who takes care of my pets when I am away, and often too nervous to leave them alone! If you're the same way as me, let me give you the comfort of knowing that I will care for your pet(s) like they are one of my own. My mom has been in the pet-care business for almost 10 years, and I have been able to gain experience through her as well. Thanks, Mom! I have experience with young cats and dogs, as well as senior dogs. I am a full-time college student and will be working part-time, but until school starts I am an open book! I will make sure to update my schedule once the school season starts. I will take care of your pet as if it were my own. On walks I will be sure to keep them safe and always keep a watchful eye on them! In your home I will make sure everything is put back in it’s place (treats, toys, leashes etc.)

Elena goes above and beyond, making sure Dolly gets not just exercise, but also attention and care. I always feel completely at ease knowing Dolly is in such good hands. I would highly recommend Elena to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.
From the moment she walked in the door you could tell Jenna is very experienced and comfortable with dogs. My pups just loved her. She communicated so well and was very pleasant to work with. My pups came back from the walk tired and happy. We’re so happy we found Jenna!

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 Hightsville. 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 Hightsville.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hightsville. On Rover:
- 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
