About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember and have years of experience caring for them through every stage of life. Today, my wife and I care for our Australian Cattle Dog, Dakota, whom we adopted when she was a year old. Training Dakota has given me valuable experience in understanding canine body language, behavior, and communication. I’ve learned how to recognize signs of stress, excitement, fear, and overstimulation, and how to respond in a calm, positive way to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. Whether we’re out on walks, visiting public places, or relaxing at home, I’m always attentive to a dog’s needs and surroundings. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic care, maintaining routines, providing exercise and enrichment, and giving each dog the patience and attention they deserve. Every dog has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel happy, secure, and loved. Above all, I believe every pet should be treated with the same care, respect, and affection that I’d want for my own! I’m currently a full-time online student and teach online part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pup! I can build my own schedule, so I'm fully available. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and follow their normal routine. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care that helps them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any other routines that are important to your pet. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can make sure your dog is comfortable and enjoying our time together. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking your dog on a walk, or staying in your home, I’ll treat your pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care and attention I’d want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

About: I’ve been caring for my own pets for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both cats and dogs, and I currently have two cats who I’ve had since they were just 4 and 6 weeks old. They are now 13 years old, so I’ve had experience caring for them through every stage of life. Throughout their lives, I’ve also administered medications and learned how to accommodate their individual needs. Both of my cats have specific routines when it comes to feeding and using the bathroom, so I understand the importance of paying close attention to the little details that help each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I feel most confident caring for cats and small dogs, and I’m happy to adapt my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. My goal is to give every pet the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I work from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. M-F I'm available for visits in the mornings before 8:30 AM, mid-day between 1–3 PM, and in the evenings after 6 PM. I can do 30–60 minute visits in the mornings and evenings, while mid-day visits are limited to 30 minutes. The weekends I'm available anytime between 7AM - 7PM. Your pet’s safety and comfort is my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you leave for me, whether it’s their feeding routine, medications, leash, doors, gates, or anything else they may need. I will keep you updated and let you know if I notice anything unusual. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Jennie is the best dog walker/caretaker you could ever ask for! She’s been great with my Nessa, who can be leash reactive. She helped me train her, has been patient beyond belief, and has always left me detailed information about her walks. More than that, she is an all around stellar person. Would give her 6 stars if I could!

About: I've grown up with several cats. My best friend and the love of my life is a tabby cat I've had since I was 12 years old. I didn't have a dog growing up but I frequently cared for my neighbors Great Pyrenees. My first dog as an adult was a rescue coonhound mix and my current dog is a purebred Redbone Coonhound. I live in an apartment with 2 cats and a dog. I work part time at Food Lion, but I'm wanting to be a full-time pet sitter. Humans are too complicated for me. Plus it gives me the opportunity to spend more time with my dog! I live in an apartment but I'm very active. I utilize all the trails and parks in the area and I bring along my buddy Cheeto, a foster Redbone Coonhound who loves other dogs, as well as my new puppy!

About: I have been a veterinary nurse at an AAHA accredited hospital for the last 6 years, and prior to that, worked at an additional hospital as well as a pet store with exotics. I am more than comfortable administering any method of medication, and taking care of your medical needs, special needs, or senior fur babies. I own two friendly dogs, two sassy cats, and a baby ball python myself- variety is the spice of life. If you’re looking for a medically experienced caretaker for your kids, I’m your gal! *also have grooming experience with medical needs animals I just moved to the Asheville area, so Im excited to explore around. I have just taken a M-Th veterinary position, but I still plan on working Rover into my schedule! I have two friendly dogs, who will play with dogs that want to play, ignore the ones who don’t, and will be gentle with the young and little ones. I do not have a yard, but I am very active and used to taking my large dogs for >3-4 mile walks daily.

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was about 10 years old. I’ve helped train puppies from a young age, and nursed kittens from 3-weeks old. More recently I’ve helped nurse and rehabilitate my senior dog after her major ACL surgery. She was sling bound for 6 weeks so I feel very comfortable with a large range of ages, and needs in cats and dogs. I have a huge love for all animals and believe all of them deserve love and care just like humans! I’m also here because my lovely fiancé and I just got engaged this past summer. I’m hoping to save up and earn as much money as I can to help host our dream wedding here in the mountains next year! We both love our babies and I would be happy to give your fur babies that same love and support ☺️ UPDATE: Sadly I can no longer provide overnight sittings. I AM available to do a sitting that does not require me to stay at your home overnight. I understand if this prevents you from hiring me for a sitting. I currently work remote full-time but do have some flexibility in my schedule to fit in drop-ins and walks. Wednesdays are usually when I have the most calls, but of course can try and work around my and your schedule. I’m happy to come to your home to give you that reassurance that your fur baby is doing okay while you’re away. As I said, I work fully remote so my pets pretty much have constant care unless I’m traveling for work. I typically let my dog out about 3-4 times a day depending on her needs, so I’m happy to do the same for your dog. She gets fed twice a day, as well as my cat. Every now and then we will switch out dry food for wet food just to give them both some variety, so I’m happy to do the same for your pet. You and your pet’s comfortability are my priority so I’m happy to cater to your preferences.

About: I am very good with anxious dogs especially during storms. I love playing with dogs and taking them on walks. I have been watching dogs and cats for years now and am dependable. I am currently a full time student in college but I often have time off on weekends to take care of pets. I also have time in between classes to walk or check in with pets. I spend lots of time outside and go on walks regularly and I’d love to bring pets along with me. I also can spend time with them in the clients home if that’s where they are more comfortable.

About: Welcome to my profile! I just moved here from Chicago to start graduate school. I’m a lifelong animal lover and have a dog that never slows down. My parents have four cats and a dog, so I'm constantly around furry friends and well-versed in different temperaments and routines. I also have 12 years of experience caring for pets belonging to family and friends, so I understand the importance of finding someone you trust. Whether it's walks, playtime, or cozy cuddles, I treat every pet like my own and always aim to keep them safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, and I'm happy to work around your pet's needs! I take mostly evening and night classes, which means I'm available during the day for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting while you're at work. I'm also available on weekends, as long as I'm notified before the weekend begins. I just ask for at least two days' notice so I can make sure I give your pet the time and attention they deserve! Your pet's safety and trust mean everything to me. Since I'm unable to host animals in my own home, I will be caring for your pet in their familiar environment to help reduce stress and maintain their routine. I treat every home with the utmost respect and take pride in being reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented. I am more than happy to provide updates and pictures throughout each visit. The only thing I ask is that you communicate openly with me about your pets' behaviors and stressors so I can care for them appropriately.

We have had Alexis caring for our animals for over a year now, and we truly couldn’t be happier with her!. She is incredibly reliable, gentle, caring, and attentive to every detail. Our animals absolutely love her, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing that she keeps a watchful eye not only on them, but on our home as well while we’re away during the day. I am very particular about who I trust in my home and personal space, and I feel completely comfortable and at ease knowing Alexis is there. She treats our animals with genuine love and care and our home with the utmost respect. Having someone we can trust so completely is invaluable! We are so grateful to have found Alexis and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, trustworthy, and truly caring person to care for their animals!

My job deploys me to many areas, ranging from a week at a time to months. I’m thankful I get to bring my pup with me during these deployments. So finding a trustworthy dog walker was a priority and I hit the jackpot with Ms. Emma. She is incredibly dependable and has made my dog so much happier. Emma is professional, communicative, and simply wonderful and I can tell my pup Jazzy loves her! 10/10 recommend!

Emily has been caring for Toast for a couple months now. She is very good at reinforcing the same commands I use with Toast. Which is fantastic, because I did a dog training course with him, along with one on one training. He gets consistency with her. And she communicates very well with her availability and what days/nights she can and can't do. Since Emily has cats and dogs of her own I can tell she truly puts in the time and effort to make my dog feel just as comfortable as her own animals. ❤️

Megan is amazing and I highly recommend her. I was very nervous about her walking my dog considering he is a 95 pound Rottweiler and after a couple of walks with her and my dog, I realized she has a lot of experience with all different types of dogs.. I also realized that my dog was going to be in very very good care.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Skyland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Skyland on Rover is $16.65 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 1,070 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Skyland. 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 Skyland. 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 Skyland.

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 Skyland. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
