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!!

About: I have many years experience looking after my own two dogs, from puppyhood to retirement. I was also a student intern at a canine rehabilitation center. I am comfortable around pets of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and backgrounds, and would be honored to assist in their care! I am currently finishing an internship so I am usually most available in the evening and on weekends, but I do occasionally have daytime availability depending on my schedule. I am happy to work together and find the best time that works for you! I am unable to keep pets in my apartment at this time due to the rules of my lease agreement. I'm more than happy to adhere to guidelines and rules in your own home to keep your animals safe and keep your privacy secure.

Ella did a wonderful job walking and caring for our dogs. She was very communicative and on time and left pictures and notes about their walk. I felt very comfortable knowing my pups were in caring hands! I would not hesitate to use her services again.

I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I always try to keep a consistent routine so your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority.

About: I have been around pets my entire life and cared for my childhood dog from the time he was a playful puppy until his senior years with dementia. Through that journey, my heart grew so much from the love and responsibility of caring for a pet. For the past few years, I have also helped other families with dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether we are playing, going for walks, or just relaxing together. I will care for your pet like my own. As a recent NC State grad and job searching, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to provide attentive, consistent, and reliable care throughout the day and week. Whether it’s going for long walks, feeding on schedule, or giving pets lots of playtime and affection, I can easily adapt to each pet’s specific needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and my open schedule means your pet will get my full attention. I provide attentive and loving care for pets in their owner’s home by following all instructions carefully to maintain their routine and reduce stress. I make sure pets have fresh water, food, and plenty of exercise and attention tailored to their needs. I respect the home environment by keeping it clean and safe, and I prioritize clear communication with pet owners by providing regular updates so they feel confident and reassured about their pet’s wellbeing.

About: I am a current medical student at Campbell and a cat dad. I grew up with dogs and am happy to work with either! Muriel my kitty is super sweet but she is a nervous nelly around dogs, so I am not accepting dogs for boarding at this time. I am willing to commit to regular visits or walks if the time and place work out well. I am able to set my schedule on a day by day basis and have great flexibility. I can most likely accommodate whatever your needs are. I prefer to work with well trained animals.That being said, there is only love and respect in this household! I promise to never intimidate, harm, or threaten an animal. If you crate your dog, I will do my absolute best to keep them out of a crate as much as possible while you’re away.

About: I've had two cats living on my own for the past four years, so needless to say I have plenty of experience with cats. I also have a family dog who I’ve taken care of for several years now, even house/dog sitting for my parents when they go away! I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets as the startup companies I work for keep failing to meet revenue goals and laying people off! So I have plenty of time now! I love my cats with my whole heart and would treat anyone else's pet like they're my own. Playing with cats is always a joy and meeting new cats is so fun because they're all so different!

About: Hello! I'm Paige & I can't wait to meet your sweet fur babies. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I have always had pets of my own, so from a young age, I learned how to prioritize caring for my animals as well as my friends, family, and neighbors' pets. My clientele is growing as current clients refer me by word-of-mouth to their friends, so I wanted to partner with Rover to extend my services to you! I prioritize caring for your pet and will accommodate to any concerns you may have. The transition from home to vacation should be simple and enjoyable for your pet, and that is my main goal while caring for them. While you are away, I would love the opportunity to bond with your pet while giving them the love and attention they need. My dream is to have a dog of my own, but it's just not the right time. I love the opportunity Rover provides to love on other's pets! I provide overnight dog sitting services, so I can care for your pet right in their home where they are the most comfortable. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the uttermost care to keep your fur baby happy! As a law student with a flexible schedule outside of class, I'm available to drop by for visits to take your pup on a walk or provide overnight stays. Your puppy will have company while you're away, ensuring they're well cared for! I love being active and would love the company of your dog while doing so! I can spend the afternoon throwing their favorite ball or going for a walk. Many cuddles and pets will be given, of course!

Saki had the best time with Lucia! They went to the dog park and he ran forever / he came home happy and exhausted! I wasn’t feeling well that day and Lucia was so helpful, responsive, and prompt, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Saki was in great hands. Would absolutely use her again!

I cannot say enough good things about how great it has been having Katy walk Ned following my surgery. It really helped keep Ned happy and eased my mind that he was taken care of until I could handle walks again. Ned loves her and would sit by the door waiting for her to arrive. I will definitely use Katy again in the future!

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Hillsborough dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Hillsborough.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
