“Morgan is truly one of a kind. She goes above and beyond not only for my senior dog, Miah, but for my entire family. Knowing that someone who cares about Miah as much as I do is looking after her while I'm away gives me complete peace of mind. She's compassionate, reliable, attentive, and always willing to do whatever is needed. I couldn't ask for better care, and I recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family.”
About: I can't pass a pup in public without getting in a quick pet. If I'm meeting you for the first time I may or may not remember your name, but I'll remember every detail (including name) of your pup. I'm 50 years old, but when I'm in the presence of a furry friend, I start baby talking like a 2-year-old. Bottom line, I love dogs. I am Mama to 4 rescue pups and a rescue kitty. I've proudly fostered 9 rescues over the years and although it's a challenging job, it's extremely rewarding seeing them happy and healthy in their forever homes and knowing that I had a small part to play in that. I'm a stay-at-home Mom of two teenagers who don't need me nearly as much as they used too. That newly acquired free time enables me to accomodate almost any number of drop in visits per day to spend quality time with your fur baby! My pups are used to a specific routine and thrive when they are comfortable and know what to expect. With that being said, I'm happy to follow any care instructions that you request. From administering medication to going on fun-filled walks, your request is my command!
“Lindsay was hands down the best! She updated is constantly on our pup and helped in any way she could. Zeus seemed extremely happy when we got back. We are definitely booking again with her!”
About: Hi! My name is Aaniyah, and I’m a passionate animal lover with both professional and hands on experience caring for pets and farm animals. I’ve worked at several pet boarding and daycare facilities, where I cared for both dogs and cats, supervised group play, provided one-on-one attention, and made sure every pet felt safe, loved, and comfortable. I also gained valuable experience at the NCAT farm, where I worked with farm animals and learned about animal behavior, nutrition, and health. These experiences taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals in different settings. I have skills in oral and injected medication administration, applying eye drops, and caring for diabetic dogs. I’m also experienced with senior pets and making sure they get the extra patience and care they need. Whether it’s a puppy full of energy, a senior dog who needs medication, or a cat who just wants cuddles and quiet company, I’ll tailor my care to their needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’ve worked at multiple boarding and daycare facilities, I’m used to building my schedule around feeding, walking, and playtime. I’m flexible and can adjust to your pet’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, medication at a certain time, or evening play before bed. I’m not offering in-home boarding at the moment, so all of my services are focused on caring for pets in their own homes. I make sure to follow your care instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine consistent so they feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medications, or giving extra playtime, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I’d want for my own.
About: I have extensive pet care experience, providing reliable pet-sitting services for dogs, cats, and small animals. I ensure each pet receives proper feeding, exercise, and medication while maintaining a safe environment. I prioritize communication with owners, offering regular updates to keep them informed about their pets’ well-being. My passion for animals drives me to deliver the highest level of care. I am available all week and have a flexible schedule because I work full-time from home. This allows me to provide full-time care, attention, and supervision for your pets throughout the day. I’m able to spend quality time with them, keep them company, follow their routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. We live on 12 acres providing space for your pups to run and be active! We also have a Safe and Cozy home , We can provide toys, crates and anything needed to make them feel at home 💕 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I want every pet to feel like they are in a safe, calm, and loving environment while they are in my care. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and supervision while following their normal routine as closely as possible. My goal is to create a comfortable space where pets feel secure, cared for, and treated like family. I always want both pets and owners to feel confident and at ease knowing they are in good hands.
About: My daughter and I grew up helping take care of dogs and have been around them for as long as we can remember. We’ve looked after our own dogs as well as those of friends and family. There has never been a year in our lives without a dog in it, and we truly can’t imagine life without one! I currently work full time as a 2nd grade teacher, but I’m available for boarding, doggie day care, walking, dropping in, or playing with your dog during the week and on the weekends. My 17 year old daughter will be assisting as she absolutely loves dogs too. Our house is in a neighborhood. We currently have one dog who is a morkipoo and is very playful and loves other dogs. We are able to crate your dog if needed.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to routines, patient with different temperaments, and committed to providing reliable care and attention. I have a flexible schedule since most of my classes are online, which allows me to be available for reliable drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m committed to being punctual, attentive, and making sure pets receive the care, attention, and routine they’re used to while their owners are away. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free by maintaining their normal routine during each visit. I always follow owner instructions carefully and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, fresh water, meals, exercise, and care while their owners are away.
About: I love animals I’ve had variations of animals my whole life I currently have 2 cats , 2 ferrets and one ball python . I am a dog groomer and I want to expand my work and possibly offer home grooming for a reasonable price of course <3 I work full time at as a groomer at a local business but I’m available for over night boarding and weekend boarding (anytime after 5pm on weekdays) (anytime on weekends) I have two friendly cats that I adopted from my job so they are well used to dogs and have no issue with them or loud noises they are very sweet babies and for the most part stay out of the way
“Tiffany has been walking and visiting with my family’s Boston Terrier for several months now. She has consistently delivered top notch care! Tiffany is very conscientious about leaving our home and dog in great shape before she leaves. She has a genuine love for animals. Our dog always looks forward to seeing her!”
About: I have 20 years experience taking care of dogs and cats of all kind. I have a very friendly small dog named Charlie that I rescued. I worked and volunteered with the SPCA, 3 different rescues in Greensboro and have been a foster to many different dog breeds and cats, including puppies and kittens. I have experience handling dogs with behavioral issues and medical needs. I work from home and only take 1 dog at a time so I can be attentive to your pet as much as possible, and make their stay as comfortable as possible :) Currently I can not handle large breed dogs, unless you need me to let them out in a yard at your home. I am currently working from home and would love to take care of your beloved pet like my own. I am available for dog walks, check ins and boarding at my house. I own my home and it’s just me and Charlie, so it’s a very calm and relaxed environment. Charlie is fixed, up to date on shots and on flea/tick preventative. If your dog would stay with us they would need to be dog friendly and have proof of rabies and be on flea/tick prevention
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for family pets and about 7 years of hands on experience training and caring for my own dogs. I currently have a small Maltese/Yorkie mix and i understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs. I’m naturally fun and high functioning energy, so I’m comfortable keeping up with active dogs, but I’d say patience is one of my biggest strengths. Working in healthcare has taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and compassion are, and I bring that same approach when caring for animals. I work PRN(as needed) in healthcare, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. My availability can vary week to week, but I’m able to plan my schedule around pet care and make sure your pet gets plenty of playtime, walks, and companionship. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with access to a dog park, a large open field directly in front of my complex, and several nearby walking trails. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given plenty of opportunities for exercise and outdoor time. I’ll also follow any routines, feeding instructions, or special care preferences you provide so your pet feels as comfortable and safe as possible.
About: I've owned dogs and taken care of pets for neighbors, friends, and family members since I was 6. I have experience training puppies and am prepared to provide enrichment for high energy, low energy, young, and old pets alike. I love them all. I am currently a masters student at UNCG. I have classes on Monday and Wednesday and work with various performance groups throughout the week. My schedule is variable, so even though I am busy there are a lot of moments in between my daily tasks that allow for attention to be extended to a pet. In client's homes, I am respectful of any rules and protocol you'd like me to follow. I will stay in designated areas and follow any instructions you leave for me. If your pet is visiting me I don't have a yard, but I live in a quiet and very walkable neighborhood. I am on the ground floor of a house, so there are no risks associated with a deck or being multiple floors up in a building. Pets are welcome in all areas of my space, including on the furniture, unless you have a rule at home you would like me to reinforce as well. In my own home, pets are an extension of the family and are treated as such. I am an active person and would love to provide long walks, hiking, lake visits, and more with the permission of pet parents.
“Kaitlyn arrived right on time. We spent some time getting her acquainted with our dog and then she took the leash and went for a short walk. Everything went fine. She seems confident, capable and caring, and we look forward to working with her.”
About: I grew up on a pig farm with various animals including dogs and cats. We had every pet I can think of big and small. While I don't miss the smell of the farm, I sure miss the animals and all the work that comes with them! I currently work from home and have a lot of time to entertain. I also have a teenager around who loves animals as well. When I am occupied with work, she is extremely helpful with tasks, feeding and playtime. I am knowledgeable about safety and will implement that information on a variable basis. Every situation will be different as every animal is different and requires different methods.
About: My family got our first dog during the pandemic so I have recent knowledge of the ins and outs of puppy training. I also attended all puppy school sessions so I can provide basic training repetitions such as sit and heel. I love to walk so many walks a day is no problem! I am available on my listed dates. Dog sitting is a great part of my active and outdoors lifestyle. I look forward to playing fetch with your dogs and walking them. I live with a roommates and my living habits are inherently neat and clean. I know how to clean up after making a mess as well and I love to leave the place straightened and tidy.
“Nakia was very attentive to Flacka’s needs and went the extra mile to make him feel comfortable to eat and drink while we are away! She really made me comfortable being away from him.”
About: Dogs have been part of my family my entire life, I personally have a puppy named Nala. I've engaged with dogs from all walks of life, from 8 weeks old, to their senior years, I meet my pets where they are at, nervous, hyper, lazy, big, small, I've accommodated them all. I'm finishing up credits to go to Medical School, as a part time student I'm quite flexible to stop by when needed, I'm active during the week to stop by when needed. I adapt to your dogs needs and energy levels, I've dealt with high energy Shepards, to Lazy Doodles, my goal when taking care of your pup is to make sure their happy, loved and satisfied.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sierra. She has been incredible with our sweet puppy and gone out of her way to accommodate our desired schedule. She is always on time and a wonderful communicator. We couldn’t be happier that we found Sierra to walk our Maverick.

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 Oak Ridge. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .

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.
