About: I have had both dogs and cats my entire life growing up. I love every animal, and am very excited to get the opportunity to meet yours! I am currently a full time college student. I am dual enrolled in two colleges! I have a very flexible schedule, and can take last minute appointments if needed! I will care for your furbabies as if they were my own. I will take as much time as I need to make sure your animal is happy and safe!
“Ellie is a wonderful resource for our pets (dogs, cats and chickens). She’s very attentive to details, thoughtful, and sensitive to animals’ needs. Can’t recommend highly enough!”
“Very communicative. Very prompt. Took wonderful care of my furry and feathered nursing home! My eclectus parrot is almost 20, my dog is going on 14 and my cat is nearing 11”
“Alissa was very attentive to our two labs. She shows up on time, is very pleasent to work with. She clearly loves dogs and our boys were excited tosee her arrive. We trusted Alissa with our home and dogs without hesitation.”
About: I used to work at an dog and cat boarding facility. I am also a student at Fayettville State University. I absolutly adore animals. I have 3 of my own, They are a german shepherd, austrailian Shepherd, and a chihuahua. So I do have and active life style with the 2 larger dogs. But my little dog is a couch potato, so I tend to slow things down for him. So no matter how big, small, entergetic, or couch potato they are I can always live up to their lifestyle. I am available anytime. If I am not available I’ll message you if it does not work for my schedule. But it is rare for me to be busy. I would be more than happy to take your puppy out on a walk or taking out to go potty. I can also feed them and give them fresh water. If they need time to interact with somebody I can sit and play with them. If there is special request, just ask away I would be more than happy to try.
About: I sometimes feel like a dog/cat whisper. I have a very calm nature and I think dogs/cats can really pick up on this. I have had animals of my own but could no longer afford the monetary funds it takes to care for dogs and cats. I am a retired active senior citizen and I have a lot of spare time I would love to devote to dog/cat boarding or walking. When I do care for dogs/cats in my home, I try to make sure they feel I care for them and snuggle and hold them, if I am allowed by the animal. I always wait to see if they have sniffed me and that lets me know they are or are not accepting of me.
“Eden was just what we needed to help cover a gap in our schedules. Our dog Carson is strong-willed and strong bodied at 40lbs of solid muscle. Eden had no problem handling both aspects. Carson walked further for longer and put herself straight to bed from exhaustion every night. She truly enjoyed her walks with Eden almost more than she enjoys walking with us! That speaks volumes for Eden’s care and skill in giving our girl the quality exploration and exercise time she needs. Will definitely use Eden again for future needs.”

My weekends are completely free unless adjusted on the schedule. I have a 9 yo that is pretty independent and loves helping out at all times lol. I currently live in an apartment on the second floor.

“Jacob helped us out in a pinch when we moved and we couldn’t be more grateful for his hard work. He cares so much about Penny and leaves photos and walk recaps. Hw is consistent and Penny looks forward to his walks. He was understanding and fair when we had two errors as owners (address not updated and key not left under mat.). Highly recommend!”
“Keagan did a great job walking our Goldendoodle, Yogi! She is kind, punctual, and trustworthy. We look forward to booking Keagan to stay with him on our next trip out of town!”
About: I’m a pediatric ICU nurse who brings the same compassion and reliability to pet care. I have baseline experience taking care of my own cats as well as my friends' dogs. I can easily follow specific feeding instructions to keep your pets' diet consistent and potty-walks are a breeze! Due to my own cats medication routine and my nursing career, I know how important medication timing is, if you pet needs any routine medications while I care for them you can be rest assured that it will get done, and get done right! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur-baby with someone else. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for every step of the way. I have a flexible nightshift schedule that allows me to have more opportunities to take care of your furbaby. Being a nurse, I only work a few nights a week and can be available in and out of typical working hours to provide your pet care and attention! I will be available almost any day of the week for single or multiple daily check-ins, potty walks, zoomie-releasing play sessions in gated areas or carefully in your home, scheduled feedings and more! I live on the cusp of Knightdale, so commuting to the Triangle is not a problem, even for checking in every few hours. In their home, your pet probably feels most comfortable! I can provide them lots of fun and safe interactions while you are away, making sure they don't feel lonely as they wait for you to come back home! I'll always be sure to stay in the same room with them, you never know what kind of mischief they can get into if left to their own devices unsupervised! Breaking into the treat drawer won't fly under my radar! If your pet needs to stay at my apartment for any reason, I am on the first floor, so no stairs needed if that is a struggle for your pet. I do own two shy but friendly cats, but my apartment has enough space that they can be put in a separate room for a portion of the day while your kiddo and I hang out! We will probably just sit together on my couch while I read or watch TV together, nothing too loud that would cause any stress.
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life including the 2 puppies my family just got last December! I’ve had experience with all breeds and ages of dogs and can’t wait to meet yours! I know how important it is for your fur babies to be taken care of well when you are gone and desire to take care of them with excellence! Currently just graduated from PT school and have lots of free time before getting a job while studying for my board exam! Currently back home for the next few months and would love to fill my time with some good pet breaks during the study session! I have had a lot of experience with babysitting in other people’s home. My mom taught me to leave places better than you found it, and that’s exactly how I would treat your home!

Bayleigh is awesome with our girls. We are so grateful that Bayleigh was able to step in last minute while our regular walker was sick. Gladys was super happy to be able to get out and moving during midday while we were away and our cats also love to have Bayleigh come in and spend some time with them. We are super happy with using Bayleigh to care for our girls.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Hopkins is $18 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,409 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hopkins. 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 Hopkins. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Hopkins after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Hopkins. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
