“This is the first time we booked through Rover app. We are very fortunate that we got Kaley to take care of our dogs. She took time a day before to meet both our dogs and us. We only booked her to take our dogs for a walk in our neighborhood. If there is more than five stars, we would have given that to her to go extra miles to feed our dogs and staying back to make sure they finish their food.”
“Avery took great care of Kaizer and Kano. I was so happy my dogs were both at ease with Avery. I will definitely be calling both Avery and Carol in the future for dog walking and dog sitting.”
“Marissa did a great job with my crazy golden retriever, Huck! She was very prompt and did a great job with him despite the fact that he can be a bit of a puller. She was very accommodating and willing to take him on a jog because he has so much energy!”

About: Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience with caring for both cats and dogs, including senior dogs who require medication, dogs with disabilities, pets with behavioral challenges, and high-energy animals. I understand how each pet has unique qualities and needs, and I am patient, attentive, and committed to providing individualized care. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, following feeding routines, administering medication, or simply providing company, I want every pet to feel happy and secure in my care. I understand the importance of following owner’s instructions and maintaining routine. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing that your pets are in caring, reliable, and responsible hands! I am currently a senior in high school, with school days running from 9am to 12pm. Outside of school, I enjoy staying active outside or in the gym. My shorter school days allow me to maintain a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of opportunities to care for your furry family members and provide them with the love, attention, and care that they deserve! I have experience caring for dogs and cats with unique individual needs, including medication routines, disabilities, and behavioral challenges. I take pride in following instructions carefully, maintaining consistent routines, and respecting each households rules and environment. Whether that means crating dogs when needed, following specific feeding schedules, or accommodating individual behavioral needs, I strive to create a safe, comfortable environment for every pet.
About: I love all animals. I love walking, am playful with them and take them to parks etc. I had a German Pointer, Vita, from puppy til her death. She was extremely loyal to me.

I help taking care of my son's black lab. Im available most of days after 4PM and all day Mondays and Tuesdays. I love walking in the parks and neighberhoods. Your pets will be safe and get necessary care and excersises with me. If boarded in my house I will take care of him like my own pet. No worries. I have an unfanced big yard but I love walking so Id do that twice a day. With your permission I'd take the dog to the parks and hiking trails.
About: I have had dogs from 30lbs to 150 lbs and I have loved them all! In my free time I volunteer hiking with dogs at a local animal shelter. And spend the rest of the time spoiling my two fur babies at home. I work remote and have a flexible schedule that can accommodate a wide range of needs during the weekdays as well as on the weekends. My two fur babies are trained to listen off leash, but love to go for walks on leash. One is a couch potatoes that can be trusted and one a wild puppy that is crate trained. So I am used to a wide range of care needs.

I am currently available to care for your dogs, cats and any other pets that you have. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or to discuss possible arrangements. Best wishes, Arlene I am a newer resident to NC. I unfortunately was laid off from my job during Christmas 2024. Right now , my preference is to work with animals or humans with special concerns.

About: I’ve cared for my own 4 dogs since age 15. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, medication, and providing loving, dependable, and attentive care in clients' homes. I’m currently home from college and available every day for pet care! Whether you need someone for daily drop-ins, walks, or overnight sitting, I’ve got the time and flexibility to give your pup all the attention they need. I’m happy to stick to their routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Since I only offer pet care in your home, I focus on keeping your pup relaxed in their normal environment. I carefully follow all your instructions—whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medications, or just giving lots of love and attention. I treat your pet (and your home!) with the same respect and care I would want for my own.

I am home for the summer and holidays with lots of free time to care for furry friends!

About: My family over the years have had dogs as pets. This is the extent of my experience with dogs. I am very willing to learn how others take care of their dogs. I am currently working every Weekend and would like to have a part time job during the week. I am a lover of all animals. Mix the two together and here I am to take care of your pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in New Light is $19 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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 October 2026, there are 4,910 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 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 New Light 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 New Light. 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.
