“Adreanna was absolutely amazing with our dog. She was very attentive and provided a detailed over view of everything that was going on, leaving us without any questions or worry. 12/10.”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Sophia! She helped me out last minute, was quick to respond, and treated my dog Tiko like her own. He came back happy, calm, and well cared for. Communication is great. Highly recommend!!”
“Amazing! I was new to the Raliegh area and was super nervous about finding someone I trusted. I quickly realized that with Ellen, I didn’t have to worry at all. My pup loves her and she is always so responsive to my messages and updates me with pics. Definitely would recommend her to care for your pet!”
About: I have been a pet sitter on Wag for over a year now and I absolutely love it. I have pet sat for over 35 clients including walks and at home sits. I have several years of experience pet sitting for friends and family and am a current pet owner myself. I own two dogs, one of which is a puppy. I have experience caring for puppies and elderly dogs in my own home and pet sitting. I also have experience working with cats and have previously owned a kitty myself.

I usually do most of my sitting on the weekends and afternoons/evenings, basically anytime I’m not in class. I have a very high energy puppy so I have lots of experience with play time and getting wiggles out. I love to stay active and always enjoy a good walk as well. I am comfortable feeding, giving medicine, crating, and cuddling with of course. I also have worked with very timid dogs and understand the importance of slow introductions and treats to help dogs feel more comfortable.

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Daniela has been absolutely wonderful with our dog Winston and a huge help to us! You could tell right away how much she cared - she always checked in to see what time frame worked best for us to grab him before his walks, spent time with him in the dog park to play fetch and let him run around with friends, and also walked him around the complex to ensure he got his exercise in. We loved receiving the photos after each outing. Winston came home happy and tired every time! We highly recommend using her if you live in the area and are looking for a reliable and loving dog walker.”
“Kayla is a fantastic walker for my dog. She is professional, personable, and knowledgeable. She has followed all my care instructions to the letter, she is always commicative and on time, and she has been very flexible working with my schedule. I would not hesitate to book with her!”
Hillsborough dog parents share their Rover experiences
Adreanna was great! She took excellent care of Tonto and was very easy to work with throughout the entire booking. I never had to reach out or worry about anything, and I always felt confident that Tonto was in good hands. For anyone with a senior dog, I highly recommend. I’m sure she’s great with all dogs as well. I would absolutely book with her again.
Katherine is absolutely fantastic and we are so thankful for her! I appreciate and thoroughly look forward to her updates and photos when she is with my dog or taking him for a walk. She is very trustworthy, reliable, communicative, thorough, and thoughtful regarding any pets needs or requests. I 1000% Katherine to anyone looking for a Rover!
Yanke has been wonderful with our big anxious boy! He was a late Covid puppy and did not get much out of the house socializing. she has been great at handling him and he seems to really enjoy his walks with her! He does not like most people and is dog reactive. She has been able to handle him on walks no problem.
Beverly goes above and beyond in every way and she made my transition back to using Rover the most incredible experience that I did not expect. I say this at the risk of losing availability for my favorite pet caretaker EVER, but you are crazy if you’re not booking with Beverly! There will never be someone better to stand in for you to love and care for your pets while you’re away. Thank you endlessly for what you for my little farm!! 🥹♥️
Lauren was absolutely amazing, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. I booked her for a 30-minute walk every day around noon, and I told her I was very flexible with timing. She was always reliable and showed up when scheduled, but what really stood out to me was how much she genuinely cared about my puppy. Even though the walks were booked for 30 minutes, she constantly went above and beyond. Whether it was an extra minute, five minutes, or even ten, she never seemed rushed and truly spent quality time with my dog. After every walk, I didn’t just get one quick picture. I would get several adorable photos along with detailed updates about everything they did. She would let me know about their walk, any interactions they had, and even small thoughtful things like cleaning out his water bowl. You can tell Lauren is not just doing this as a job. She genuinely loves dogs and enjoys spending time with them. That kind of care, attention, and thoughtfulness is rare, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing my puppy was in such good hands. I’m so grateful for her and will absolutely book with her again!
I’ve had a really great experience with my dog walker. He’s incredibly kind and attentive, and it’s obvious he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. I have two dogs, and he handles both of them with ease, making sure they’re safe, happy, and well taken care of every time. One thing I really appreciate is that he always sends pictures during or after the walks. It gives me peace of mind knowing they’re doing well and actually enjoying themselves. You can tell he goes the extra mile—not just getting the job done, but making sure my dogs are comfortable and cared for like they’re his own. Overall, I couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with my dogs. Reliable, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about what he does.
Sophia has taken excellent care of my dog! She is reliable, prompt, personable, responsible and kind. She follows all of my care instructions to the letter and consistently performs at a very high level. I would not hesitate to work with Sophia and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great walker or sitter.
Jenna has been absolutely amazing! My dog can be intimidating to most, but she was confident and kind from the moment they met. Now my pup adores her and gets excited for their walks. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely. Highly recommend! 🐾
