Keira took such great care of our senior cat, that she was naturally the person we chose to walk our dog. Keira loves them as her own and always goes the extra mile. I never have to worry because I know that furbabies are in capable and loving hands!

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: I have had and cared for a variety of pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, reptiles, etc. I have a passion for animals and ensuring they live a great life to the best of my ability! My wife and I have a sweet cat named Poe who welcomes any visitors. I have experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, and everything in between and have been trusted among friends, family members, and neighbors to care for their dogs deeply and ensure all needs are met. I currently work Monday-Thursday and I am available after hours through the week or any time Friday-Sunday. I can be flexible as far as coming to you or hosting your pet! I live in a safe, private apartment close to several parks and great outdoor areas. I will cater the needs and schedules specific to each dog or cat and ensure all their needs are met. I am happy to host your animal, come for a check in/walk, or anything in between to ensure your time away is stress-free when it comes to care for your pet.

About: I truly LOVE animals, I’d adopt them all if I could. Whether I’m caring for energetic puppies, independent cats, or senior pets who need a little extra patience, I provide loving, attentive care tailored to their needs. I’ll also water your plants, bring in your mail, and send plenty of photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I’m new to rover but not to pet sitting :) I work full-time with a schedule that is typically either 7:00 AM–2:00 PM or 1:00 PM–9:00 PM. This flexibility allows me to spend quality time with pets before and after work, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I carefully consider my schedule before accepting bookings to ensure I can meet each pet’s needs and maintain their regular routine. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I care for every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence, I’ll make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

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’ve spent my whole life living with and caring for all sorts of animals! I have lots of experience with special needs animals and giving them medications! I’ve worked with animals all sorts of ages and with many different personalities! I’m currently a barista and can typically stop by in the early mornings before work and spend my afternoons/nights caring for your furry friends! I have 2 cats of my own and I do prefer staying with them throughout the night but can make arrangements if needed! Both of my kitties are very spoiled and get lots of love and attention. We love to cuddle and play, and they always get their meds right on time! They get fed twice a day and have routine vet visits so I know they’re in good health and up to date on all vaccines! My cats are 15 and 4 and they mean the absolute world to me.

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: Reliable and attentive professional dog sitter dedicated to providing safe, comfortable, and stress-free care for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Experienced in daily routines including feeding, walking, administering medications, and maintaining consistent schedules to keep pets happy and healthy while their owners are away. Known for a calm, patient approach and strong attention to detail, I focus on building trust with both dogs and their owners. Whether caring for energetic puppies or senior dogs needing extra support, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I prioritize clear communication, regular updates, and a clean, secure environment so owners can have complete peace of mind. Passionate about animal wellbeing and committed to treating every dog as if they were my own. I have decided to make caring for pets my full time job. I am single and live alone with my 2 yr old female pupper. We have plenty of time to make your fur babies feel how special they actually are. I have a small fenced in yard. If it's nice out then I like to leave it open so they have free reign. My place is small so I'm always near. I will only accept pets that get along with other dogs. It starts with my dog, Kaiya. She gets along with all dogs so if a dog has a problem with her then they won't be invited for doggy day care. However, that does not mean I cannot pay a visit to your house for any needs. I can also crate any dog that is better suited for that environment. Safety for all pups under my watch is the number one priority.

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!

Lindsay took great care of our two huskies. She took them for three long walks and gave them treats, food and water. She was fast and easy to communicate with. She gave great updates on the dogs and attached photos. It was great to know they were in good hands. I will definitely be rebooking with Lindsey the next time I need help with my dogs.

About: I always grew up with at least one pet, either it was a cat or a dog. Whenever a friend or a neighbor was going out of town, they always knew they could call me. I love playing and giving attention to all dogs and cats. I am able to handle many pets at once, if needed. I will play games with your pets and be able to know their feeding regiments. I am also able to clean up after your pets and keep them clean and healthy. I have a dog park near me so I am able to take them there and walk them around and play with them. I am happy to do anything and everything for your pets whenever i am available.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Hightsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Hightsville on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,274 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hightsville. 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 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.

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 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.
