About: I have always had a dog, and currently have a super sweet and high energy vizsla/pit bull mix. She loves to run and so do I. I've spent years volunteering at the Humane Society walking dogs, and have done several adoption events with Mountain Pet Rescue. I work from home and am flexible with my availability. I am usually available on short notice if necessary and can check on your pet any day of the week. I am happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to. I understand how important schedules are for some pets and will make sure they are kept on the schedule that they are familiar with. We can go for walks, play in the yard, or work on commands inside the home if it's raining and they need mental stimulation. Or we can cuddle up on the couch if that's their vibe.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve had dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and others my whole life. I’m good with pets of all size! I have a Aussie, two 18 year old cats, and an orange boy who started out as a stray. With senior kitties and an Aussie who has separation anxiety, I know how stressful it can be to leave your babies with someone else! Looking forward to meeting you and taking care of your pets! I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I can usually fit visits around your pet’s normal routine, whether they need a morning check-in, afternoon company, or an evening visit. I’m very patient with animals, especially when they’re shy or nervous around someone new. I’ll let your pets warm up at their own pace, follow your care instructions, and make sure everything is secure before I leave.
“Mallory walked our dogs everyday while we were away. The dogs warmed right up and were excited to get their walk. Mallory was dependable and always walked them for the agreed upon duration, or longer. We will definitely ask Mallory to walk our dogs the next time we’re away.”
“Louise is obviously a dog person. I appreciated having a meet and greet before hand. My pup felt immediately comfortable with her and so did I. Louise showed up when she said she would, took time for walks and play and my pup and home were in great shape when i got home. I will definitely use her again when in area.”
About: Hi there, I’m so grateful to have you considering me to care for your beloved pets. My experience is extensive with many repeat clients and so many dogs over the years. I provide super attentive care for your fur babies. I always put in a little extra cause they all absolutely deserve the best. I can handle large dogs that are strong as well as many quirks and behavioral qualities. My approach is always love and patience dogs. I do not work outside the home so your pets will receive round the clock care in my home. At your home, I can be available as much time as you need. For me to provide excellent care, I aspire to make your pets time with me as comfortable and stress free as possible. I am very attentive and I like to cultivate a calm environment while you have to be away.
“Misty is the sweetest! She did a meet and greet with my girls before the walk and took detailed notes for a successful experience with them. She asked my preferences about communication, where they like to walk, and about the dogs themselves. My older dog (8 year old female) typically takes time to warm up. She can be timid. She took to Misty right away like she’d known her forever. Highly recommend for your dog walking needs!”
“Alexis was wonderful her second time seeing Maggie on short notice. I truly appreciate her attention to detail and taking Maggie out for a walk over to the nearby park. Above & beyond. :)”
About: I grew up with dogs, mostly border collies and poodles, and one of the poodles is 15 now. I understand dogs need mental stimulation, activity, and older dogs need gentle care, frequent outside potty breaks, and specific food. Taking care of animals, especially dogs, is one of the only times where I can't think of anywhere else to be, or anything else I need to be doing. I'm currently a freelance writer/editor, so I can work from anywhere, and I create my own schedule when it comes to editing projects and clients. In my own home, there are two border collies and one old poodle. I do a lot of obedience training with the border collies. I also spend a lot of time with them outside so they get enough exercise and play. For the older poodle, I and my other family members, make her specific meals that keep her sensitive teeth and tummy in mind. She also needs to pee on the hour, so I always make sure I'm attentive to her schedule. I love my dogs and I love knowing their different quirks and personalities. I'm very good with other people's pets, especially dogs and cats.
“Mckenna, was great! She sent several pictures and it was evident she spent time with them besides just a walk. She will always be my first choice to take care of our fur babies!”
About: I have taken care of everything you can think of, it began when I was 9 years old. My family moved on a horse farm, where we took care of 13 horses everyday. After that my family ran a dog kennel with a capacity of 65 dogs, did that for about 4 years. I decided to branch out and start working for myself. I have pet sat for some years now during that, I have cared for live stock, birds, turtles, fish. I currently work weekends, between 8am-2pm. Unfortunately animals don’t talk so I got a part time job to get out of the house and socialize. I have a fenced in year, plenty of toys, a couple crates, definitely lots of bowls. Some dog beds, along with some blankets. Anything your animal may want I try to have. Of course bring anything that you think would help your doggie adjust.
About: I've taken care of many dogs, cats, fish, and even the occasional bird. I had my own pet sitting side business while I was in college in Tampa and have missed I ever since I moved!! I am currently looking to switch careers so my appointment book will be pretty open in the near future. I'd love for this to develop into my full time job. I am currently renting so I'm not offering boarding services. But I'm offering drop in visits not only to walk, feed, and clean up after pets but to spend some time with them so they are not lonely
About: Hi! I’m Izzy, and I’m the kind of person who will probably greet your dog before I greet you! 😂🐶 I’ve grown up surrounded by pets my entire life and have always had a huge soft spot for animals. I’ve cared for my own pets, watched pets for friends and family, and have professional experience working at a doggy daycare! Working at a doggy daycare gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, energy levels, and play styles. I’ve learned how to read body language, recognize different behaviors, safely manage groups of dogs, and understand when a pup needs playtime, space, reassurance, or a good cuddle. 🐕🩷 I absolutely LOVE getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pup is a crazy ball of energy who wants to play all day, a nervous little baby who needs extra patience, or a professional couch potato who just wants cuddles I’m happy to meet them exactly where they’re at! When your pets are with me, they’ll get plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, enrichment, and of course… LOTS of belly rubs. 💕 My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and spoiled while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your fur babies are in caring and experienced hands. I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they get all the love they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐾✨ Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the week. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where animals can feel secure and cared for. I also have experienced introducing pets safely, as I have four friendly dogs and three gentle cats at home who are used to meeting new animals. I always take time to ensure every pet feels comfortable and respected

Hope to see you and your furry pal soon :) I’m a very flexible individual! And I am always willing to adjust anything to fit your furry friends daily routine! Im always willing to go out of my way for any pet! :) I’m also a stay at home mom so my schedule is basically open anytime because I’m always home and available! I don’t have a fenced back yard, but I’m always monitoring any pets that are outside on leash. and it’s a very moderate household. We are usually doing something outdoorsy or going on some fun adventure! And we will always exceed your pets needs and adjust our household to just that while your pet stays. :)
About: Ive always adored animals with my whole heart. They are my passion and my purpose. I have owned dogs all my life of different kinds. I am now on the road traveling and constantly trying to find ways to connect and spend time with animals while continuing to fuel my passion of exploring this beautiful world:) I am building my own skincare business while on the road always moving, always preparing to stay anywhere needed. Flow where the animals take me:) Always will play with toys, lots of energy, and cuddles when open & accepted. Can bathe, feed, go on walks, and any house service thats needed. Love to stay busy if I can help out
About: I have a deep passion for working with animals, especially dogs, which has given me the rewarding opportunity to train and care for reactive pets. As a proud owner of three dogs and a cat, I’ve personally trained them to live their best lives, ensuring their happiness and health every step of the way. My experience spans from raising puppies and kittens to providing lifelong care—I even helped my cat deliver her kitten and created a safe, nurturing home for them afterward. One of my proudest achievements is caring for my little dog, who lived a happy and healthy life until the age of 17. With dogs ranging in age from 2 to 10 years old, I understand the unique needs and challenges that come with every life stage. Whether it’s socialization, training, or providing love and stability, I bring a wealth of hands-on experience and genuine care to every animal I work with. Let me bring my dedication and expertise to your furry family members! Even with my full-time job, pet care is a top priority. I start my mornings with feeding, short walks, and playtime, then focus on longer walks, training, and quality time after work. On weekends, I handle grooming, socialization, and vet visits. I’ve built a consistent routine that ensures my pets are always happy and well-cared for. In my home, I ensure pets are well-fed, exercised, and comfortable in a clean and safe environment. I provide daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation tailored to their needs, along with regular grooming and health monitoring. In my clients' homes, I maintain their pets' routines by following feeding schedules, providing walks or playtime, and offering companionship. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and consistency to keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away.
About: I believe that pets deserve an abundance of respect and understanding, as well as optimal attention and care. In general, I tend to feel more comfortable around dogs and cats than people and treat them all with dignity, respect, and love. I have had decades of experience with a variety of pets, from blind pugs to anxious mutts to timid cats and everything in between. I believe pets must be addressed on their own level and met where they are. As a middle-aged woman with many responsibilities and experiences, I am adept at managing a wide variety of pet tasks with conscientiousness and skill. You can be confident that your dogs and cats will be in safe and loving hands with me while you are away. I am a freelance writer and work only part-time from home, so I have an abundance of time to be fully in the moment with your pets and provide them quality care, supervision, and one-on-one attention. I have a wonderful husband who loves animals and 16-year old son (who also adores animals), and a 20-year-old son studying at Chapel Hill, who helps me with the dogs in my care when he is home for the summer and on breaks. Currently, I have a wonderful, small group of regular dogs who come for daycare most days of the week. I always make sure prospective dogs are a good fit with the group to ensure safety and an optimal experience for all the dogs. We love meeting new dogs and welcome having new playmates here at "Camp Dewdog." These guys have so much fun here, romp around the yard, hide in the shrubery, zoom around the porch, and go on walks in our Montford neighborhood to see the goats and chickens down the street or to the Reed's Creek Greenway, or Hummingbird Park. There's never a dull moment here, except when the pups are sacked out on our porch swing bed or lounging in the house on the sheepskin rugs. Your pets will be cared for with the same dedication and attentiveness as with my own pets. Dogs can either roam and lounge in our large Victorian home or frolic in our lush fenced yard and porch. Montford is also a lovely neighborhood to go on walks with dogs, with lots of parks nearby, resident goats and chickens down the street at our friends' house, and Reed's Creek Greenway just around the corner.

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 Penrose. 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 Penrose 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 Penrose. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
