About: We care about dogs like if they were our own. My two boys help feed them and cuddle them. We have a big backyard for your dog to run in. Pet care fits perfectly as I’m a stay home mom just trying ro make some cash while still be with my kids. And I know the struggle of finding someone trustworthy to care for our pets. We do not feed our pets table food because we know how harmful that can be. There are spices that can harm your pets and we take no chances in this house.

Samantha has been so great, she is very flexible and is dedicated to treating our dog well. She also gives a lot of great puppy advice and has been a huge help on getting our puppy to walk better.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals practically my whole life due to growing up with lots of them. I’ve been taught to properly groom and bathe pets. Always make sure they are fed to schedule. I love taking them on walks as well. I am a stay at home college student where my husband loves animals as well. My schedule is alway open to take care of your furry friends. I have a very open well maintained home with a fenced in yard. We have a female german Shepard and a female cat who gets along great with other animals. Very friendly household with animals.
About: Hi! I’m a passionate dog lover who knows pets are more than animals — they’re family. I currently have a playful Bernedoodle puppy and previously raised two Labs, so I understand the love, patience, attention, and care dogs need at every stage of life. I work full-time Monday-Friday, but available Saturdays, Sundays and occasionally some Mondays and Fridays. My times are flexible based on your needs and family. Let’s chat for more details😊 I’m committed to maintaining a clean, secure, and trustworthy environment in your home while providing regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident and at ease during your time away. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way. 🐾
About: I have a lot of patience with our furry friends and recognize all of their own unique personalities and needs. Taking care of animals is very effortless & second nature to me. Maintenance such as dog walks, baths, nail trims, ear cleanings, keeping a clean litterbox, shots, vet visits, simply making time to play, all of these are very essential to a happy and healthy furry life, which I'm incredibly happy providing. Pet care is absolutely incorporated into my own self-care. My animals are my favorite part of my day, every day, and I don't think there would be much self-care on my end without them. I live down a dirt road with plenty of privacy and space to tread. Located in a wooded area far enough from the road so my dogs are off leash 99% of the time. Nearby access to water that we’ve have played in for years. Convenient fence as needed, with a shelter, kitty pools and plenty toys of course. I have plenty of space on my property to accommodate different needs at once. It's about catering to the animal's preference to me.
“Khaleesi and Tyreika are getting to know each other, and their friendship is off to a promising start! 🐾 On their first walk together, Khaleesi took her time getting comfortable, but she enjoyed exploring and spending time with her new walking buddy. We’ll be sharing updates as this new friendship continues to grow. ❤️🐶”
About: I have been pet sitting, farm sitting & house sitting off and on for over 30 years. I look forward to working with you & providing your pet(s) with the same quality of care that I expect when I have someone care for my fur child. Any animal(s) in my care always receive timely potty breaks, lots of playtime (weather permitting) and lots of love. Feeding schedules, medications, etc. are also followed per your instructions. Please Note: Pick up/Drop Off times for boarding in my home are between 0800 and 1800 unless otherwise agreed upon. I care for your pets as I would want someone to care for mine. In addition, health and safety in your home and mine is always a priority. PLEASE READ in FULL: 1) To board your dog(s) in my home: I require proof of bordetella, rabies, heart worm AND flea prevention. 2) I am only able to accept dogs that are mild mannered, not alpha & are potty trained. 3) I cannot accept any destructive or aggressive dogs!! (i.e. destroys property, digs holes, scratches thru screens, chews, bites, attacks my dog, etc.) 4) Bookings for boarding are not confirmed until after we have a meet n greet with you & your dog(s) at my home to ensure both parties are comfortable and that it's a good fit for everyone.
“Marissa helped me out last minute while I was sick! I got the cutest pictures of the boys on their walk and they were very happy once they got home! I highly recommend booking with Marissa!”
About: I have access to Ft. Bragg😊 I have taken care of friends and families animals since I was a child as well as two cats of my family's. I've had a family dog for about 10 years who loves to go on walks and play fetch. I've previously worked at a doggy daycare, where I've become familiar with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I have a part time job at a restaurant where I work anywhere from 4-9 hour shifts (mostly nights). I am in a sonography program, but in between schoolwork and taking care of my dog's wants and needs, I like to knit or do anything artsy related. While walking any dog, I always make sure their safety comes first, and secondly I make sure they're having fun, they're comfortable, and they're enjoying their walk. I will let your dog use their senses to lead us on the walk but I will make sure we don't get too far or get lost.
About: I have experience caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m responsible, patient, and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own family! I’m a college student and I play volleyball, so my schedule can vary a little. I have class on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 AM–12 PM, but I’m pretty flexible outside of that! I’ll always communicate with you about my availability and make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I live in an apartment, so I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise through regular walks and trips to the dog park. I’ll always keep them supervised and make sure they’re comfortable and safe while they’re with me.
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life and have cared for dogs since I was about 10 years old. I’ve had the privilege of having many different breeds and mixed breeds as part of my family, so I have a lot of varied experience. You can count on me for happy paws and lots of tail wags! I am available to walk or drop in on your dog during the day on weekdays! The hours would be between 9-12:30 Monday through Thursday. We currently have a chocolate lab who is 8 years old and is such a sweetheart. She loves to play fetch in our backyard and go on walks with the family. I plan to treat your dog with the same love and care as my own.
About: I’ve worked professionally with animals for over a year and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and exotic pets of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I previously worked at a dog boarding facility, where I cared for pets with a wide range of needs, including administering medications, caring for senior pets, handling anxious and reactive animals, and following individualized care routines. I currently work as a kennel technician at a veterinary hospital, where I am learning more about animal health and daily medical care. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, giving insulin injections, and safely giving pills to pets that are hesitant to take them with food. I understand how important it is to carefully monitor pets for changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. At home, I also care for 3 cats and 2 lizards, giving me firsthand experience with both traditional and exotic pets. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, or has special medical needs, I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and compassion that I give every animal I care for. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced hands. :) I currently work full-time at a veterinary hospital on a rotating schedule, so my workdays vary from week to week. Because of that, I keep my availability updated regularly. Even on days that I’m working, I’m often available to provide drop-in visits before work, after work, or during other available times depending on my schedule. On my days off, I have much greater flexibility and can accommodate multiple visits or longer stays. I am currently only accepting bookings no longer than 2 weeks. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll always communicate my availability clearly before booking and make sure your pet receives reliable, attentive care. If you have specific timing needs, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to discuss whether I can accommodate them! I believe the best care comes from keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box care, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention based on their individual personality and needs. I’m happy to administer medications as directed, follow special feeding instructions, and accommodate senior pets or those with medical needs. I always pay close attention to a pet’s behavior and well-being and will let you know immediately if I notice anything concerning. I am totally okay with sending photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, go for walks, or simply have someone sit quietly with them, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for until you return. :)) At this time, I primarily provide care in my clients’ homes to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I may also be able to care for small caged pets in my home on a case-by-case basis.
“Christine is just awesome! She comes with such a happy attitude and Roane is so excited to go for his walks. She always makes sure to tell me how he was and if anything appeared out of the ordinary.”
“Kim is the best! I’ve used her twice and both times, she has went above and beyond to make my dog comfortable and help out any way she can. She even cleaned up a mess in the house. I would highly recommend Kim to anybody seeking a dog walker or check ins. She is great with animals.”
“Rex loved walking around with Bailey. She took great care of him. She was able to adjust well to his needs for his walks. I would absolutely recommend Bailey for those looking for a dog walker!”

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 Rockfish. 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.

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.
