⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars! Absolutely incredible sitter, I could tell that she treated my babies like her own. I cannot recommend Brooklynn enough! She took care of my two precious baby girls this past week, and she was an absolute lifesaver. From the very beginning, she proved to be super flexible, communicative, and punctual. She provided amazing care for my girls the entire week, ensuring all their routines were followed perfectly. The daily pictures and updates she sent gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It is so clear how much she truly cares about animals.I will definitely be returning to her for future pet sitting and dog walking needs! I highly believe she provides true 5-star service. Thank you, Brooklynn!!❤️

About: I have my own dog, so I know how much pets mean. I treat every animal with the same love, care, and attention as mine. I’m a college student with later classes, which means I’m available in the mornings and mid-mornings during the week. I also have weekends free, so I can give your pets plenty of time, love, and attention when you need it most As a fellow pet owner, I understand the trust it takes. I’ll respect your home and care for your dog with love, reliability, and genuine attention

About: I’ve helped take care of my family dogs for many years. We’ve had dogs my whole life, and currently I’m helping care for our six month old puppy. So, I’ve had experience walking dogs, playing, feeding, taking out for potty breaks, naps, and many more. I’m currently on summer break, so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets! I’m happy to come anytime after 8:00am, and before 10:00 pm. I prefer not to work too late or overnight because I’m just not comfortable with it or driving when it’s really dark. I can’t care for dogs in my home because we currently have a puppy who is only sometimes ok with other dogs, and I live with my parents who won’t want other dogs around. But I’m happy to come over and care for them at your home. I’m comfortable with taking them out in the yard or walking them. And I can also crate them if need be. I’m comfortable with all dog breeds and sizes, unless they are aggressive.

About: I’ve grown up with pets, a dog and two cats. Pet sitting for my neighbors and watching my friend’s pets. I love animals and I hope they love me! I’m currently in school but my schedule is flexible, although most times I can’t do overnights. I’m available most to the entire day on weekends. I love to work on holiday breaks, whenever I’m free. I am very communicative about any pop up issues or schedule conflicts. I deescalate situations immediately with my cats whenever they fight. I’m good with separating problems but prefer to not work with aggressive or just mean animals.

It was our first time using Rover and we were so anxious since we were going to be away and were worried about our sweet dogs needs. But Julia made us feel at ease and was so kind and amazing with our dog. Our dog loved going on walks with her. She kept us upated on all the walks with rover card and we got multiple pics of our dog during each walk. Will highly recommend her and Julia we look forward to working with you again in the future! Thanks so much!

About: Hi! My name is Wednesday, and my pronouns are they/them. I've been using Rover since 2022 and have had dozens of wonderful clients! I've recently moved from Chapel Hill and am looking for new clients in the area. I have experience with many types of dogs, from newborn to senior or nervous to energetic. I've been fostering puppies since the age of 13, including a litter of 5 at two months and a litter of 8 newborn puppies in 2020 and 2021 respectively. I love dogs! My family has owned a total of 6 throughout my lifetime and I now have my own named October. She is a calm, well-trained dog who is very low maintenance and friendly! She typically does not come along with me on my jobs. I am dedicated to creating a safe and loving environment for your pets, along with clear communication and a trusting relationship with clients. Thank you for your consideration! I work part-time remotely and attend online school, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I always make sure before booking a client that I have enough time to dedicate to their pets so that they are properly taken care of! Communication is key! Before booking pet care, I do my best to get to know your dog, including their routine, temperament, and any other little quirks! We will discuss this information either through Rover, a phone call, and/or a Meet and Greet. My hope is that through these conversations you feel at ease leaving your pet in my care! My top priority is making sure your pet is comfortable, safe, and taken care of.

About: I have been caring for my family dog since we got him four years ago and my other dog for 8 years. Over the past two years, I have also house-sat for multiple people, taking care of their pets for several days at a time. In addition, I have cared for many animals in my own home. I currently do not have a job so I am completely free morning tonight anytime I also do not have any other side hustles so anytime works! I would care for someone’s animal in their home as if they were my own. I would make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive any medications or special care they need. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I would spend quality time with them by playing, cuddling, and keeping them company so they feel safe and loved while their owner is away. I understand that pets are family members, so I would work hard to maintain their routine, provide comfort, and give them the same patience, affection, and attention they are used to every day.

Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy and safe while you’re away! I’m a part time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule to take care of pets throughout the day. I can easily adjust to fit each pets routine and make sure they’re happy and comfortable!

I also make sure your pet is feeling loved and comfortable while you’re away and make sure your home stays tidy and secure.

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life and have loved every second of it! I’ve had my own for the past 7 years, and I care for every dog I meet like they’re my own. I’m a stay at home mom and looking to spend some time outside the house! I love dogs and I’d love to spend time with yours! I am available anytime on the weekends, weekday mornings/evenings. I can do a mid day visit as well! When I’m in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their instructions so pets feel at ease in their own environment. One of my dogs gets terrible anxiety when we leave him, so I know how stressful It is for pups to not have their humans home! I want them to be as comfortable as possible. I give each pet the same care and attention I’d want for my own.

About: Love to go on long sunset walks with dogs, jk. Have a 4 year old dog, Sophie, of my own and I enjoy playing with her high energy and walking/running with her. She keeps me active and would love to share my experience with other dogs. Would help train them while playing with them if interested as well. Simple commands as sit, down, stay, touch, etc. As for me, I work from home and in the tech industry so it gives me the flexibility to step out and run errands and/or walk Sophie. She keeps me active and runs to rough house around with her. She is a Hound/Pit mix so she does have a lot of energy and I can match it. Let me know if you have any additional questions and you can message me. Normally, I am around pets all the time, we have large inclosed backyard in case your pet wants to be outside as well as lots of room indoors I am pretty hands-on with my dog, I maintain her daily routine along with services such as pet wash, nail clipping, and brushing her teeth.

About: I just moved to North Carolina from Minnesota. Have the summer free and I have lots of free time and would love to spend some of that time caring for dogs. I’ve owned dogs almost my whole life and I used to volunteer at the humane society. I live with my fiancee Jessie and she loves animals just as much as I do. I have owned many cats but currently we don’t have one. I have a 5 year old sheepadoodle and he is the happiest and friendliest dog I’ve ever owned. He would love to keep your dog company. We have a fenced in yard and live 4 minutes from a great trail where we walk daily. Thanks for looking and I hope to hear from you Currently have the summer off. So lots of free time to spend with your pet and show them lots of attention. I don’t have a kennel for my dog but if you have one and would like to bring it. We can accommodate I have a fenced in yard and a dog that has never shown aggression. Our house is obviously dog proofed and nothing dangerous for dogs to get into

About: Animals have had my heart my whole life! I have had dog and cat fur babies, and I’ve been a sitter for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and reptiles. My senior dog Gideon recently passed away, and it’s given me immense joy to help my neighbors with their dogs and fill my heart with some doggo love. I adopted my dog when he was being re-homed at the age of four because he was too much work for his previous family. He came to me with trauma-influenced behaviors and extreme anxiety, and we worked together every day to support each other and grow over time. He was able to have such a happy life and I miss him every day! I’d love to share some of my love with your pet! I am currently working from home and able to be very present for the pets in my home! I have plenty of time for walks, playing, giving attention, and down time. I live in a two story townhome with a fenced-in patio and non-fenced yard. I live in a friendly and safe community for taking walks or playing together outside. I have a friendly cat, but I am able to keep the cat in a separate space if needed.

This woman is GODSENT. Like I came back and my dog looked so healthy and happy, like he literally looked so good & I say that because most days when I’m gone longer than a week I come back and my dog looks distressed. I hadn’t used Rover since a woman came to my home and just wouldn’t take her time with my big Amstaff & Savannah? Nope, not her she got right in there, and literally was so sweet to my baby. Like when I tell you God sent she’s God sent, professional, attentive, she did the DAMMMM THING. If she’s accepts, she’s now Oji’s routine baby sitter

I had a wonderful experience using Jennifer as a dog walker for my dog, Remi. This was my first time using a dog-walking service, and she provided a lot of peace of mind while I was away for a few days. Remi really values the comfort and safety of being at home, so it meant a lot that he was able to stay in his familiar environment and still be well-cared for. Jennifer shared meaningful updates & photos throughout her visits and kept me informed every step of the way. She was also very courteous even bringing in a package for me while I was gone. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Remi was happy and comfortable. I will absolutely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Neuse

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Neuse on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 5,037 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Neuse. 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 your Neuse. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Neuse.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Neuse. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
