“We had a positive experience with Andrew. It was a last minute booking and he confirmed promptly. He was punctual, with proactive communication before and during the walk. Our pup was happy and he paid attention to our special instructions to keep her from picking up trash off the ground. Thank you!”
“Nicola is absolutely amazing! We couldn’t ask for a better person to care for Rocky while we’re away. She is always reliable, on time, and goes above and beyond to make sure he’s well cared for. She doesn’t just walk him—she spends time playing with him, makes sure he’s fed, comfortable, and happy, and treats him like one of her own. Knowing Rocky is in Nicola’s care gives us complete peace of mind. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. We highly recommend Nicola to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”

About: I grew up working on my aunt’s horse ranch and petting zoo, taming barn cats and swimming with my chocolate Lab, Yogi. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I specialize in medically sensitive pets, seniors, animals who take their time warming up, and the ones who decide we’re best friends immediately. I care for every animal like I would want someone to care for my own. Clients often tell me, “You must think I’m nuts for doing all this for my pet.” My answer is always, “You should see what I do for mine. 😂” With four cats and a senior rescue dog I truly get it. Our animals are family. They give us unconditional love without words, and they deserve the very best care, patience, and stewardship we can give them. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, understood, and genuinely loved while they’re in my care. Pet care is my daily life and full-time passion. My schedule is built around providing reliable, attentive care while giving every animal the time they deserve. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I expect for my own. I follow routines closely, prioritize safety, communicate consistently, and pay attention to each pet’s individual needs, comfort, and personality.

I will never walk them without a leash and steer away from other dogs being walked when I’m walking yours.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently share my home with a lovable Labrador and a German Shepherd who are treated as a cherished member of our family. Watching friends’ dogs has become a natural extension of my love for animals, and every dog that stays with us gets the same care and affection as my own. Our whole family shares this passion for dogs. My young son loves spending hours playing with our pups, ensuring that any dog in our home is not just cared for but actively engaged and loved.

Special treatment is my promise—I care for every dog as if they were my own, giving them all the love and attention I’d want for my pup. We’re true dog people, and we genuinely enjoy welcoming furry friends into our home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, as I care for my own dogs daily with regular walks, meals, and playtime. When sitting for other dogs, I adjust my schedule to include their specific needs, ensuring they feel loved and comfortable. I also offer pick-up/drop-off and meet-and-greet sessions to make the process seamless for owners. I provide a safe, loving, and engaging environment for every pet in my care. In my home, dogs are treated as part of the family, with regular feeding, walks, and plenty of playtime to ensure they feel happy and at ease. I follow any specific routines or preferences provided by the owner, from dietary needs to favorite activities. For pets in their own home, I maintain their usual routine to keep them comfortable, including feeding, walking, and giving them personalized attention. Whether at my home or yours, my priority is ensuring every pet feels loved, secure, and well cared for.

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 .

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 New Hanover. 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 New Hanover.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 New Hanover. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
