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! I grew up around many and I now have my own named October. She 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 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.
“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.”

Taking online collage courses and i have much time on my hands as i also need a steady source of income for my collage classes! i care for other dogs the same way i would care for my family dog with love and patience they will understand that i mean no harm
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 taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, and have specifically done pet sitting for 10 years. I love animals and am currently living in St. Pete, as I am a student at USF. I am studying business entrepreneurship, and hope to open my own doggy daycare one day. I care for other peoples pets as well as I care for my own, and will do whatever I can to make your furry friend the most comfortable in my care. I would love to help out with your pets, and have plenty of references for my clients to contact. Thank you! I live in downtown St. Pete, and attend classes throughout the week, but love going on walks throughout my day whenever I can. I will spend a lot of time with your pet, and give them the exercises and care that you recommend is best for them. When going to a clients home, I will always treat your space with respect. I will be accommodating to your pets needs specifically, and do my best to keep your pets happy while you are away.
“Pam is absolutely wonderful. My dogs are in such good hands with her and I really don’t want anybody else taking care of them. Pam is flexible and always on time. I’m just thankful we found her. Frenchie and Dahlia just love her.”
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.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 11. I currently have two cats and two dogs, so I understand how important it is to give pets the love and care they deserve! 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 prioritize maintaining your pets routine to reduce stress. I follow all instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime. 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 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.
“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!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs ever since I can remember. I have always loved animals. I’ve worked as a kennel tech, so I know a lot of special tips and tricks when it comes to caring for your pups. I would love the opportunity to care for yours! I have one dog of my own that I rescued. She is 4 years old and would love some company now and then. I do live in an apartment, but i’m right in front of my complex’s dog park! I also am very close to walking trails and I have an open area right next to my building. I treat my dog like family, and will do the same for yours. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby!
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: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, and currently have a rescue family dog who I adore. During my time in college, I worked at a local animal shelter for almost 9 months, specifically with dogs. I was trained on cleaning, walking and playing, feeding, etc., so I am very comfortable with what to do. If a dog had specific dietary/medical needs, I would carefully follow the instructions for that specific dog. From Chihuahuas to Great Danes, I am happy to care for any breed! I currently work a part-time job, usually 3-4 times a week depending on the month. Shifts are typically only 4 hours each day in the afternoons, so I am pretty flexible! I've worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes at an animal shelter for a decent amount of time so I am incredibly comfortable with any kind of dog! I take necessary precautions when I know a dog is not friendly with other dogs to keep everyone safe.
“Marissa is awesome! Fantastic job walking my pup twice in the same day. Very punctual, and handled all the instructions superbly (regarding walking, feeding, getting in and out of our place, etc.)! Highly recommend. Oh, and I asked my dog Moon and he said she rocks, too ??”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. My mom previously co-founded a dog rescue in New Hampshire, and I grew up helping with foster dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Through that experience, I learned how to work with shy and nervous dogs, high energy breeds, and everything in between. I’m very comfortable with large and strong dogs. I have a Newfoundland, German Shepherd, and Husky of my own so I understand the structure, consistency, and exercise they need. Whether your dog is big, small, young, or senior, I can confidently provide safe, attentive care. My experience includes walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m dependable, motivated, and flexible, and I treat every dog like my own. Your pup will receive patient, responsible, loving care every visit. Weekend walks and drop-ins available! Weekday visits can often be arranged with advance notice. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Safety, structure, and communication are my top priorities. I use secure leashing practices, remain attentive on walks, and follow all feeding and care instructions precisely. I respect your home and ensure your pup feels comfortable, safe, and cared for every visit!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in New Light on Rover is $17.76 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,922 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.
