Dog Walking Oak Forest

“This was our first Rover walk for Coug. He can be nervous with new people, and Rachel was patient, kind, and understanding of his personality. She communicated well and made me feel comfortable knowing he was being cared for. I would happily book with Rachel again.”

Jill S.

“Dominique was so flexible and kind about a last minute booking. My pup liked her immediately and happily went off on a walk with her. I got lots of pictures even though it was dark and I didn't expect them! Absolutely will book with her again in the future!”

About: Hi my name is Joseph! I grew up in a veterinary hospital being surrounded by all breeds and sizes of cats and dogs. I have 7+ years of pet sitting experience for NC State Vet Students and Faculty and currently work for a dog boarding and daycare facility in the Noda area. My background has given me hands-on experience with feeding, exercise, enrichment, and providing attentive compassionate care for every pet. I’m currently working Monday - Friday between 7am-11am (break) 2:30-7pm. On Saturday/Sunday the hours move around alittle but I remain to have a 3-4 hour mid day break for the opportunity to have midday checkups/care. My usual Check-in times when pet sitting have been 10-30 minutes before 6:30-7, 20-40 minutes between 11:30-2, and 20-30 minutes after 7:30. Depending on age, temper and health of the dog the visits can be rearranged for later or earlier visits if needed. With the circumstances of my apartment complex, I do in-house visit of my client instead of having the dog at my home. When arriving at my clients home, I like to first take the dog outside and make sure they use the bathroom. I will update the owner immediately if I see any issues with the pets stool (ie. Blood, Diarrhea, etc). After I like to feed depending on instructed time, or if no meal/ walk the dog around the owners yard or complex if possible. Before leaving I always make sure there is plenty of water and that at least one happy photo. Willing to administer medications in pill form. Also, will always follow clients instructions to a avoid any confusion or accidents.

About: I've had dogs in my life since the day I was born. I have experience with a range of dog breeds from a small havenese to a 100 lb Bernadoodle. I've owned my own dog for 6 years and he's an energetic, loving golden retriever who I'm lucky to call my best friend. I also have a cuddly cat named Blue who would love nothing more than to eat and cuddle all day long. I understand the pain of leaving your pets behind to go make a living, have a social life, or any number of reasons. I want to help you feel more at ease when you leave your pet at home. I’m currently in between jobs after finishing up grad school, and I’ll have a lot of free time on my hands. I look forward to helping car for your furry family member! I love talking my pet on walks, to dog parks, and offering frequent potty breaks and attention. I can play a great game of tug or fetch, and I'm more than happy to indulge in a cuddle sesh.

“Averi is always reliable and quick to respond. She only had to cancel one time with us as she was attacked by another dog and needed to tend to her own health. She let us know as soon as it happened that she needed to cancel so we could rearrange.”

About: I have spent most of my 36 years caring for animals of all species. As a pet owner of 7 fur babies, one quilled and several feathered friends, I put pet care at the top of my list. As a business owner, working from home I have plenty of time to devote to committing to caring for your pets. My schedule is flexible. Every pet and pet owner has their own unique preferences and needs. I will care for someone else’s pets following specific instructions requested. Beyond a provided guideline, I will pay attention to each pets body language and environmental need. I will provide safe and thorough assistance.

“Carina is the best! She did an amazing job with my Pit. Didn’t think twice about keeping him because of his breed. She’s very sweet and I will request/refer her to anyone!”

Teke W.

“Great communication and wonderful with my little Yorkie! Will definitely be using her again!”

Ivana J.

“Keegan is great! She really cares about the dogs and their personalities. She notices the details about their behavior and knows how best to engage with them. Both times she spent the full 30 or 60 minutes with my dogs. She sent lots of pictures and notes about how things went. Best experience with rover so far.”

Maddie P.

“Peyton is great. I was very fortunate to come across him when I was visiting Charlotte for two weeks. He came to my hotel and walk my dog every day while I was at work. He was always on time and left me messages every day. I would definitely recommend him. He provided a perfect no stress service. Thank you, Peyton. Pluto will miss you.”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and truly believe they make an incredible impact in people's lives. I have 2 dogs of my own and have provided successful doggy daycare, overnight stays and dog walking for a while now. I have two fenced in areas in the backyard with doggy pools, splash pads and toys. There's also have plenty of indoor comfy areas for dogs to relax. I am also a nanny so I'm most always available during the day and evenings. Depending on the days I can be very flexible with services needed. With two fenced in areas in our backyard, we are able to allow dogs to have plenty of space to roam freely and play outside, with a security camera that monitors at all times.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for many years. I currently have 3 cats and 1 dog and always love meeting new ones! I look forward to meeting your pets! I’m working part time so currently have time in the days. I may have some interview pop up but my schedule is very flexible and nothing to worry about I have 3 cats a dog and a fish at home. I care for them everyday and not one goes without love and care. Even the fish!

About: I have a huge heart for pets! I want to be able to help your dog have the best time and be taken care of. I have been around dogs and cats for years. I have a medium sized dog of my own who is an Australian Shepherd and Labrador Retriever mix! He is very friendly and loves meetings new dogs and people. I have a fenced in dog park at my apartment which I bring my own pup to at least once a day. We also like to go on walks around the neighborhood. I live in a very pet friendly apartment complex. I think it’s so important that pets are treated like family and that’s what I want to do for your dog: treat them like family and care for them. I work from home, so my schedule is super flexible! I can easily stop by for walks, playtime, or check-ins throughout the day. If your pet needs extra company, I can even bring my laptop and work from your house to keep them comfortable and cared for for hours. Whether they need a walk, feeding, playtime, or just some company, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and are happy while you are away!

“Diem was GREAT checking in on our dog and taking her for walks. She is extremely respectful of our home, communicated well, sent sweet notes and pictures on the app, and our dog loved her. Will book again!”

About: Hi, I’m Ellie! Growing up in North Carolina gave me a lifelong love for animals, and I’ve spent almost 10 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful pups to seniors needing extra care. What sets me apart is my focus on peace of mind and clear communication. I love walking, running, playing, cuddling and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m also inclusive and compassionate, non-ableist, and always respectful of boundaries. For me, treating both pets and people with kindness is what makes this work so rewarding. I CAN ONLY DO HOUSE SITTING SERVICES FROM 6AM-6PM. IF NEEDED LATER/EARLIER I MUST STAY OVERNIGHT! My eyesight is bad and I cannot drive in the dark. Caring for animals has always been a central comfort in my life. Working with pets brings me joy, structure, and a sense of purpose, which is why I’ve chosen to pursue pet care full-time through Rover. • My schedule is very flexible! Allowing me to be available for walks, drop-ins, or extended care as needed if discussed! • As an autistic adult, I value clear communication and comfort in my routine, and I do my best to create the same sense of calm and consistency for the pets I care for. I want to be fully transparent: while very rare, there may be times I need to cancel a booking due to personal mental health needs or if a situation feels unsafe. In those cases, Rover's cancellation policy will ensure you're refunded appropriately. Furthermore I’m working to build strong, lasting friendships your fur-babies and you! I truly appreciate your patience and understanding as my client, thank you for considering hiring me despite my struggles. I bring compassion, reliability, and a deep love for animals fit for every client. If you’re looking for someone kind, attentive, and flexible I’d love the chance to work with you and your pups! How I help being the best care to my clients is by build trust, boundaries, strong communication, and familiarity with each person/pet when accepting new clients into my books! I'm always excited to work through challenges, try new things, and learn new things.
