About: I have taken care of pets for friends and family. Have experience with cats, puppies , small / medium and senior dogs. Have also boarded small dogs in my home.

I can also care for your cat, or other small animals I have a large fenced yard and a very friendly 9 month old puppy at home. I can also crate your dog if desired .
About: I’ve owned golden retrievers since 2016. I have dog sat for families in the past for up to a week at a time. I have taken care of my sisters golden doodle for months at a time. I have taken part in simple training my two golden retrievers since they were puppies. I love dogs and seeing the different personalities brought out from different breeds. I do not have much experience with senior dogs, but I would love the opportunity to learn! I’m currently in an online masters program, but I have a pretty open schedule. I get up early usually around 5 or 6am and I am in bed by 9 or 10 pm. I love working out and getting outside during the day, so walking or boarding dogs will guarantee some playtime for the pups. I have a fenced in back yard with lots of room to run and play. I have an almost 10 year old golden retriever who is very friendly and loves to play.
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.
“Natalie came in to help last minute before we went on vacation and was great with the dogs. Our two are not always the most social, and they warmed right up to her. We definitely recommend her to help your pets.”
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.

Currently in the job market and have a lot of flexibility to help care and play for dogs. I have a wide range of availability and excited to help out with routines and play time. I’m diligent in following directions and keeping the dogs safe. I will make sure the dogs follow their routines while making sure they are having fun in a safe environment
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.

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 Hopkins. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
