About: With 15 years as a registered veterinary technician and a Bachelor’s in Animal Science, I bring professional-level care and deep knowledge of animal health to every pet I look after. Whether it's administering medications, recognizing subtle signs of illness, or simply providing loving companionship, I offer a level of expertise and attentiveness that goes beyond typical pet sitting. Your animal’s well-being is my top priority—because caring for animals isn’t just my job, it’s my lifelong passion. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine since I work part-time. I have the flexibility to give pets the time, attention, and care they need—whether it’s walks, playtime, or just being a calming presence. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand to get to know the pet, understand their routine, and make sure everyone feels confident and at ease.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes (as well as cats) since high school. I have two cats of my own, and grew up with (big) dogs. I’m very comfortable with both overnight stays and drop-in care. I also have lots of experience with multi-pet homes. I’m currently working part-time in the summer, and will be taking college classes starting in September. I’m always free to drop in for mealtimes and walks, and either in the morning or evening can provide more in-depth attention. I am only able to work in clients homes, where I can adapt to any environment necessary, from long walks to backyard play to crate training.

Brandon has been an incredible dog walker, and I can't recommend him highly enough. He is consistently reliable, always on time, and extremely communicative, which gives us great peace of mind. It's clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with, and we always know our pup is in great hands. Brandon's professionalism and dependability make him truly exceptional. We are so grateful to have found him!

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’ve owned both cats and dogs my whole life, and more recently I’ve owned chickens as well. Starting with cats, I’ve fed and cleaned up after the ones we’ve owned, as well as taken care of the cats and kittens we fostered over the years. I’ve bottle fed them, helped give vaccines, and everything else in between when it comes to raising and taking care of them. I have also helped pet sit many of our neighbors as well as friends cats over the years. We have also owned several dogs, and I have tons of experience with walking and feeding them. We currently own 3; 2 small dogs and 1 big dog, so I have learned how to take care of many sizes of dog. Like with cats, I’ve also walked and fed my neighbors dogs many times when they’ve gone out of town. Lastly, we’ve raised more chickens than I can count in the past 7ish years, and I’ve taken care of chicks we got from breeders, as well as chicks born from our own hens and roosters. All of our chickens free range and are egg layers, so I treat them like any other pet and not like livestock. I have experience feeding them, fending off hawks and other predators, putting them to bed every night, as well as animal-proofing the coops themselves. For almost my whole life, I’ve helped feed our cats and scooped their litter just about every day. I also walk and feed each of our dogs throughout the day. Finally, I feed and put up our chickens many times throughout each week. I follow any instructions my clients may have and can cater to their pets needs. I love on and treat others pets the same way I would with my own, and have done so for neighbors, family, friends, as well as many others.

About: I have grown up with and taken care of snakes, bunnies, hamsters, cats, dogs, fish, chickens a tarantula and a ferret. I have raised 5 puppies including a yellow Labrador, 2 Australian Shepherds, a Great Dane/Black Lab and a 1 year old Rescue Hound Mix with one eye. I have cared for a Senior Dog and 2 Senior Cats. I treat every animal with love, care & respect just like my own. Pet Care is my #1 job! I can try to be available for boarding your animal at my home, As Long As they are crate trained and enjoy sleeping and staying in their crate overnight or for short daytime breaks. I would prefer drop in visits. I have 3 dogs that live with me FT, and no extra room for a visiting pup to sleep in my bed. Typically have time for 3 drop-in visits per day, sometimes 4 if necessary. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! Exercise, Attention and Nutrition are the 3 most important ways I care for my own pets and my clients. Safety is also extremely important. I have a large 1 acre fenced in backyard at my own home. Always use a harness and a leash for walks or outings. I will make sure your pet is feeling loved, safe and fed with plenty of scratches & snuggles (if they like that), walks or outdoor play, fresh water and food and comfort.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life; I grew up surrounded by them and have been caring for them since I was young. For years, I’ve looked after dogs and cats for friends and family, gaining experience with many different breeds and personalities. Because my mother was a Veterinary Technician for 15 years, I grew up learning the essentials of animal wellness and safety directly from a professional. I am dedicated to bringing that same level of care and expertise to your pets! I currently work part-time as a lifeguard, so my schedule is incredibly flexible, and I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your furry friends. Whether it's high-energy playtime with dogs or cozy snuggles with cats, I thrive on making sure pets feel happy and safe while their owners are away. When I care for your pets in your home, my priority is maintaining the high standard of care they are already used to. Because every pet is unique, I tailor my approach to meet their specific needs and your household rules.

About: I've taken care of both mine and my grandmother's animals for many years. I have experience caring for both young and senior cats and dogs, as well as staying overnight to care for animals. My family has had two dogs and three cats, and my grandmother has had one dog and three cats. I have very open availability so I will be able to housesit or drop by to take care of your pet anytime. For housesitting, I can stay overnight and most of the day, but I will leave sometimes during the day to go home and freshen up. I won't leave for more than two hours. I am very accommodating for different personalities. If your pet loves to cuddle up, perfect! If they want some space to get used to me, they've got it! I'm used to working with animals to adapt to what they are most comfortable with.

Kelsey did an incredible job taking care of our dog Winston. She was very caring, responsible, and kept us updated with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Winston was happy and comfortable with her, and we could tell he was well loved. We truly appreciate her help and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy dog sitter.

FAQs for Dog Walking - New Light

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in New Light on Rover is $17.76 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 4,958 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across New Light. 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 New Light. 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 Light.

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 New Light. 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.
