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: 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 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.

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.

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: I have had pets my whole life and have spent years house and pet sitting for friends and family. I am in the Army National Guard and have childcare experience, which has helped me become patient, reliable, and attentive. I am very loving and kind, and I naturally connect well with animals of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets. I work weekdays from 2 to 8, which allows me to be available for morning, midday, and overnight pet care. I have National Guard training one weekend each month, but I am available every other weekend to care for your pets. When caring for clients’ pets, I learn their routine and follow instructions closely to keep them comfortable and stress free. I provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and exercise based on their needs. I am happy to walk or jog with dogs and always create a safe, calm, and loving environment while you are away.

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: My name is Alexandria, and I absolutely love all the pups! I would love to care for your fur baby and get all the cuddles while you enjoy your time away! I’ve got 8+ years experience being a kennel tech and would be better accommodated if I could do it remotely. I haven’t met an animal yet that I didn’t love caring for! I work for Bay District Schools so I am off for the summer and have plenty of free time and am accommodated to sit small breed dogs. I have a 3 month old miniature schnauzer and a 5 month old plott hound beagle mix that are the light of my life aside from being a mom! I sit for family and friends but am looking to expand. I can care for pets in-home, and can be available for house visits. I’m very experienced in nail trimming and bathing. I do not offer grooming services but will if necessary.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Southport

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.

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 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.
