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!
“Diana is always on time, very friendly, and truly cares about Shiloh’s well-being. From our first meet and greet, she made a great impression—Shiloh instantly liked her, which gave me peace of mind. On walks, she is not only attentive but also engages with neighbors and allows Shiloh to play with familiar dogs, making the experience even more enjoyable. I really appreciate her reliability and the care she provides. I highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
About: I have always had animals in my home growing up. Currently I own 4 cats but have had small rodents such as hamsters and guinea pigs as well. I worked in pet care for Petsmart and worked there for 2 and a half years before beginning my teaching career. As someone who has had rodents and taken care of reptiles at Petsmart, don’t hesitate to contact me if you have exotics! I have taken care of and watched my parents animals which consisted of 6 cats, one had to have insulin twice a day. I’ve given different animals medications and am confident I can watch your fur babies! I look forward to hearing from you! I am a full time teacher and am currently only available on weekends or holidays as of right now. I’ll have more free time over spring and summer break! I prefer to not board animals in my home as I do not have room for them. However, I would very much enjoy coming over and taking care of them for drop in visits!
“Nicole is incredibly reliable and so helpful. She regularly walks my dog while I am teaching, and has been able to care for pets when I needed to travel. I love coming home to happy fur babies who have been well-loved and cared for!”
About: I’m currently a veterinarian assistant who has a Great Pyrenees, German Shepherd, Tortishell Kitty, and a cute little bearded dragon. I’m experienced with administering medications and basic grooming. I’m a firm believer that all fur and furless babies deserve love and respect and I treat them all like my very own. I am a full time Veterinarian Assistant during weekdays, but I can still swing by and say hi to the little babies. I can board or home visit anytime during the weekends! I have a fenced in yard and a sweet German Shepherd who LOVES playing with pups and is extremely gentle with kitties. I also have the ability to keep pups or cats that might not be too happy with another dog in a separate area. I enjoy recording most of my interactions with fur babies and sending the videos to you!
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.
“Luke was a fantastic dog walker. I had to hire him last minute because of an emergency and he was so flexible with all of the difficulties I threw his way. My dog had a great time with him and I loved all the pictures I got! I would truly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog walker that truly puts your dog’s happiness first.”
About: About this sitter: North Carolinian gal born and raised. I’ve lived in so many different parts of NC-it’s truly a beautiful state. My love for all fur babies runs deep but it doesn’t stop there. I love exotic animals too! I currently work full time 7am-2pm, 4 days a week. 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. I treat your fur baby as my own, so rides in the car. Cuddles in the bed. Playing with toys.
About: Friends and family can always depend on me to watch their fur-babies. I've worked as a veterinarian assistant in several clinics since high school. While exploring different career possibilities, I wanted a side gig that supports my passion towards caring for animals. I'm happy to help while you're busy! I’m available M-F 8am-4pm. From working in a shelter to hanging out with your pet on the sofa, I’m an experienced, reliable pet care-giver you can count on. My background in shelter/clinic work allows me to create safe and fun memories with your pet.
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine love and care for dogs, which stems from my experience with my own one-year-old puppy🐶 I successfully potty trained him, and I treat him as if he’s my child, with patience, kindness, and respect. I never use negative language (ex. Calling him a bad dog) or harmful methods because I believe words and actions can deeply affect a dog’s emotional well-being. I ensure every dog I care for feels safe, loved, and valued, and I take the time to understand their unique needs and personalities🐾 Accepting bookings for Christmas Eve, Christmas day, New Years’ Eve and New Years!🎄 Other than that, I work an 8:30am to 5:30pm job from home, and I work in office Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I have a Havanese little boy who weights 15 pounds and is so sweet, loves to play around and is goofy🐶. I used to put him in his crate to sleep but noticed he LOVES being under the bed or next to me, so for him, crate means timeout haha! When it comes to your dog needs, if they’re used to stay in a crate, that will definitely be an option, if not, then they will stay indoors while I ensure they’re taken on walks throughout the day😊
About: I have three dog and two cats. I have been animal sitting both dogs and cats since I was 14. I am very reliable and I take pride in taking the best care of your animals. I currently work a full time job Monday through Thursday but I am available all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to take care of your animals! I am flexible when taking care of your pets in your home. If you have any special requests please let me know and I can most likely make it happen.
About: I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid through the American Health Training Association. Personalized Care, Special Needs Pet Care, and Experienced & Trustworthy I am retired and currently an Interfaith/Interspiritual Minister which provides me with a flexible schedule. I am available weekdays, most weekends and holidays for you. My services at this time will take place in your home. I will require an initial greeting to make sure your animal is comfortable and has a chance to get to know me in their own environment. I have worked with animals that have had anxiety and was able to work with them to gain their trust.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 5 years. Though I don’t have dogs I have taken care of family members and friends dogs and made sure that the care and attention for them was taken well. I’m currently attending college online which would give me a flexible schedule and give enough attention for your pets. Weekends I’m free the whole day but with weekdays it just determines on the communication. I live in a house with a big yard that would give your pets the chance to play and exercise. The yard isn’t fenced so they wouldn’t be left unsupervised.
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and raised 7 to 8 dogs over the years. That lifelong experience means I understand different personalities, temperaments, and needs. From high-energy exercise and custom walks to feeding, grooming, and nail trimming, I bring a lifetime of practical care to every drop-in visit. I stick strictly to your dog's routine and send frequent photo updates so you always have peace of mind. Because I work part-time on my own flexible schedule, I have plenty of open time to dedicate to your pets. This allows me to easily accommodate your preferred walking times, stick strictly to feeding routines, and provide prompt drop-in care without feeling rushed. Whether sitting in your home or mine, I provide safe, structured, routine-based care tailored to your pet's needs. I strictly follow all feeding, medication, and rule instructions, respect your home's security, and keep you updated with photos and videos. Every stay includes a prior meet-and-greet and verified emergency contacts to ensure a stress-free experience.
About: Just moved to Raleigh! I have cared for a wide variety of pet ages and fostered cats and dogs regularly back in South Carolina. I have had the opportunity to care for pets with special needs, medications, and everything in between. I have a flexible job so that I can be flexible with you and your pet's needs! I'm happy to work with you on times and expectations to ensure your pet is cared for as if you're home. My pets are very needy so I'm used to being held to a high standard of petting and showing love. I would treat your pets with the same level of affection!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hopkins
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.
