About: I have always had pets! I have helped a dog give birth before. As well as trained several different breeds of dogs! I have also trained one cat to sit. I don't have a job right now so I'm available with little notice on weekdays and moderate notice on weekends! I will try to answer to everyone promptly I clean my cats litter boxes every other day and take my leash trained cat on a walk at least once a day! I can clean accidents, and litter boxes. I have no trouble following a feeding schedule or administering medication, I've given both dogs and my cats medicine in the past.

Im even great with reptiles I am available any day of the week, I am willing to go above and beyond for any pet and will move my schedule to fit any furry friend I do not currently have the ability to board pets in my own home but I am more than willing to do house sitting!:) I am very committed to taking care of any animal (even reptiles) I will follow any care plan given to me for your furry friend to a tea
About: I have taken care of various species of animals since I can remember, I have studied different anatomy’s, different behaviors from different species, and it is truly something I love to do. I have cared for animals in each stage of life, from bottle feeding to senior dogs. This gives me the ability to know what each life stage requires to thrive. I work part time at an animal clinic which typically schedules me from 8a-6p(ish) Monday and Tuesday, and wed-fr I work half days either from 8am-1p or 1p-6(ish). This allows me free time on weekends and morning or afternoons most days of the week to care for your pet(s). If I find I am schedule otherwise that is something I would be upfront about. I typically have time to go walk/let out pets during my lunch (depending on how far away you are located) allowing them to have some free time and a potty break. My pets will never come in contact with yours (unless stated otherwise and approved). I do still live with my parents allowing my family/personal pets to be taken care of.
About: With over 30 years of pet care experience, I have dedicated my life to providing compassionate, reliable care for dogs, cats, and other animals. My love for animals began in childhood and has grown into a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I specialize in taking care of puppies, working with anxious pets, and building trust with animals of all temperaments. Known for my ability to connect with even the most timid or challenging pets, I strive to ensure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I offer flexible, reliable care tailored to your pet's individual needs. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply spending quality time keeping them company, I'm happy to stop by as often as needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. I will ensure they are fed, watered, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention. My priority is to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable, while providing you with peace of mind knowing they are receiving the same level of care I would give my own pets.
“Ava is awesome!! Takes great care of Bailey and is communicative and super nice! She really cares and takes the time with Bailey and Bailey loved her from the start! Happy to have Ava!”
About: I was raised in Colorado, spending my summers with all types of animals from dogs, cats, goats, cows, horses, and chickens. I am very comfortable around animals, especially dogs and cats. I have taken care of all ages of both dogs and cats from kittens and puppies to senior pets (Thanks Mom and Dad!). I have experience training basic commands to puppies, working with anxious dogs, and caring for senior dogs and cats. I am comfortable administering medications to puppies, special needs, or senior dogs. I am very reliable and aim to provide the best service to every pet and pet parent. I'm patient, kind and love animals. I recently switched from watching pets full-time back to technical writing with the Navy. I have an early schedule that allows me to spend a good part of the day with your pets. While I am at work, I have Furbo cameras set up so I can keep an eye on everyone and throw them treats if they are feeling restless. I have it set up where my dogs will be kept separate to ensure safety. I live in a 3-bedroom home with a large fenced yard and swimming pool. My entryway has double doors that adds a second layer of security for pets during drop-off and pick-up. I have 3 dogs of my own that are very friendly as we have been doing this for quite some time. The two little dogs keep to themselves as they are older. My golden loves every one and every thing. She makes for the perfect playmate. In case your dog is over-stimulated or just needs a break, I have a way to separate my dogs using baby gates so that we are all still together in the same living area but can rest. I also have four crates here, if needed. Safety is my number one priority!
About: Hi! I am a working professional who currently works from home. This gives me the opportunity to have a flexible schedule and the ability to take care of your pet at any time. I have had a variety of animals my entire life. I currently have a German Shepherd, a Chihuahua and two cats. I have two children ages 18 and 15. My 15 year old son is an animal whisperer!! He loves all animals and would like to work with animals as an adult in his future. He will be accompanying me on all visits. I currently work remote from home. This allows a flexible schedule and the ability to meet pet care requirements. I am available every day of the week and weekends. I am available to care for your pet in your home for a variety of services. I can accommodate dog walks, playing, feeding, etc. Just let me know what you need.
“Tonya was excellent, my dog can take some time to warm up to new people, she was very patient with her and took the time to win her over. She is very professional and reliable, I have used her several times and will continue to do so.”
About: My name is Alicia. I’ve been a teacher for 18 years. I have had pets for as long as I can remember. As far as “on my own” pets; I’ve owned five dogs, a cat, 4 gerbils, and 2 ferrets. I have experience in medication administration. I had a seizure baby as well so I’m familiar with them also. I have always been super close with my pets and they are allowed free roam of the house and love snuggling on the furniture. I wish I could provide in home services, but currently have a foster staying with me. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I’m currently working flexible hours, so I have varying availability most days! When doing drop by visits to feed or give potty breaks, I make sure to spend a little extra time giving them attention. I’ve found animals can get their feelings hurt a bit when we rush in and rush out on a care visit. I want them to feel special and know that everything is good until your return. I love animals and am familiar with many different sizes/breeds. Just let me know what your specific pet needs/preferences are and I will make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and loved.
About: My love for dogs started with my very first dog (A Boston Terrier) 13 years ago. I currently have 3 Boston Terriers , a GoldenDoodle and a LabraDoodle. I have experience caring for senior dogs as all but one of mine are over the age of 10. My first baby (now has crossed the Rainbow Bridge) had several health issues that required close care and medication for. One of my pups is under the age of 1 year, so I can also take care of puppies. I have pet sit my neighbors 3 dogs while they have been away for several days , multiple times. I truly enjoy dogs and hope to keep yours company while you’re away! I will make sure they get plenty of play and love! I can make multiple drop ins per day and can take your pets for walks if needed. I am a full time RN during the week so am available on weekends (Fri-Sun) and possibly on Monday for limited time slots if needed. I can care for your pet as requested in your own home for drop in visits. Minimum 30 Minutes per drop in but can do a hour if needed/wanted. I can feed, potty, walk and administer oral medications when needed.
About: We own one dog and had two dogs before that. Dogs feel comfortable and loved here. No matter if short or long stays and big or small, old or young dog - there's always room and fun to be had. My husband and I grew up with dogs and can't be without. We have toys and some treats but individual dog-approved is always better. When boarding a dog over a time period that requires feeding I expect food to be provided. While I take any dog and treat it like my own I need to know in advance if there are medical or behavioral issues. I'm a stay-at-home mom of four little ones (10-2yo) We get up early every morning and go to bed rather late. I have a fenced yard, a super friendly dog and my kids grew up with dogs so know how to treat/ not treat dogs. I can also separate dogs if needed. Dogs are always loosely supervised. I am a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling 3 out of 4 kids and so am extremely flexible to all needs of your fur baby. My yard is fenced in for drop-offs that enjoy outside and we have a separate room if a dog requires a calmer environment than the business of a bigger family. I grew up with various dogs and sized dogs. I know how to handle most tempers that are not aggressive. I understand every dog has its own personality and timeline. We have two cars so I am available to drive out for drop-ins and walking.
About: I’ve taken care of many different animals in my life and I believe that is my life’s passion, I plan on going to school to become a vet tech so I’d love to get as much experience as I can! (I have a cat of my own but I put her in a different room when sitting other animals, so if my cat is your worry, there’s no need!) I am a stay at home wife, so I’m completely free. I have all the time to give your fur babies all the love and care they need. I have both a front and backyard so the doggies have plenty of space to go bathroom, run, and play around. Inside I also have lots of cat toys for all the kitties to play with.
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs for 10+ years. I’m the go-to dog sitter for most of my family and I enjoy loving on and taking care of any and all dogs. I work part time, usually at night. I’m available most days for walks and daycare as early as 8am on weekdays and weekends. If given enough of a heads up, I can make almost any care plan work. I’m open to caring for your dog anyway you may need. I’m comfortable hanging out with them one on one as well in public if you want them to spend the day playing with other pups. I have two dogs at home with a fenced in back yard.
About: I’ve been exposed to dogs and taken care of dogs my entire life. I am comfortable with all types of dogs’ personalities and am completely comfortable with bathing, walking, feeding, and playing with all types and ages of dogs. I’m currently an undergraduate student in college home for the summer! I am looking to save for the upcoming semester, so my availability is extremely flexible! I am additionally only enrolled in one online class this summer, which takes up very little of my time. I am a very understanding and patient person. When it comes to taking care of your fur baby, I will make sure that both you and your pet are comfortable with me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 328 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Southport. 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 Southport. 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 Southport.

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 Southport. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
