About: I have a master's and bachelor's in animal science and plenty of experience with an array of different animal needs, demeanors, and personalities. Taking care of animals is truly what I love to do. Pet care is built into my routine through daily feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming, plus weekly cleaning and health checks. It provides structure to my day and keeps me active, mindful, and consistent. I care for pets by providing regular feeding, exercise, supervision, and enrichment. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I use a designated area in my apartment where dogs can safely roam, play, and relax, along with scheduled walks and attentive care.
About: I am a huge animal lover that started with movies, volunteering at animal shelters, owning my own fur babies, to now taking care of yours! I am trained on caring for your pet from basic necessities, administering medication, and knowing to identify the emotions they are showing through play and body language! I work hybrid based full time. That being said, I am community based and just have to be in office for a couple hours 1-2x weekly. My hours are very flexible and can move my schedule around to your fur babies needs. I have a fenced yard where big and small dogs are safe to roam around. I do have a shy fur baby who would take some getting used to another animal around, but is friendly. My dog enjoys walking with others dogs, but is not a hyper dog as he is older now.
About: Former doggy daycare employee, multi-year animal shelter volunteer, and pet sitter extraordinaire for friends and family. I am currently doing Rover full-time, so have a really flexible schedule. I love all animals big and small, but especially enjoy caring for dogs and cats. Not discriminatory toward any breed of dog. I am huge on sending photos and updates while caring for your pets! I have extremely flexible availability currently and do my best to review and update my calendar every day to ensure it is up to date. I am happy to stay overnight in your home if preferred, and/or do late night and early morning check-ins! I am reliable and understand I am fortunate to have the opportunity to care for your animals. I will be respectful of your privacy and space, and will treat your pets and home as if I am caring for my own.

I’ll have ample time to play, feed, and walk with all of your furry companions! If you need anything else, feel free to reach out to me. My spacious and fenced backyard offers ample room for dogs to play, walk, and run freely. We’ll have plenty of space to explore and enjoy.
About: I have professional experience working in veterinary medicine and providing compassionate, attentive care to animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. Through my experience, I have developed skills in recognizing changes in behavior, safely handling pets, administering medications when directed, monitoring overall health and comfort, and helping reduce stress during care. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in experienced and caring hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–6:00 PM, with Thursdays and weekends off, but I still make time to provide dependable pet care around my schedule. I’m available for morning drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care when planned in advance, and have greater flexibility on Thursdays and weekends for longer visits, walks, and quality time. I understand how important routines are for pets and will work with owners to make sure their pets receive consistent, attentive care that fits their needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. With my background in veterinary medicine and hands-on animal care experience, I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and treating every animal with patience and respect. I work to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away, and I provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and experienced hands.
“Dorian was beyond amazing with my wild child. She made sure that he was comfortable enough and gave him all the attention and love he needed while i was gone even if it meant spending a few extra minutes with him. Thank you sooooo much and i really appreciate everything you did for Onyx!”
“Taylor took such great care of my pup! She was very communicative, and Trooper seemed to have a great time with her. I’ll definitely be using her for his walks in the future!”
About: In the past I have fostered many dogs of all ages and dogs with medical conditions requiring more care and I am comfortable giving medications. One of my dogs I went through a training course with where we used e-collars, so if your dog is e-collar trained I am very comfortable with this! I have also worked at a dog boarding facility taking care of many dogs and worked at a vet clinic taking care of dogs boarding! I am currently watching dogs full time so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention and exercise they need to feel most comfortable! I have a fenced in yard where your dog will have plenty of room to run and play! I also have 4 dogs who are all friendly and interact well either other dogs.

About: Since I was little I've always had a dog to care for. Not a moment goes by where I’m not thinking of an animal . I have experience with puppy potty training, and elderly dogs. I’m comfortable with walks and park time :) Pet care fits right into my routine because I am home a lot with my son. But we also love hiking and adventure. So the dogs can join us! This allows lot of outdoor time and exercise. I live with my so there are always extra hands. My mom doesn’t work right now so there is always someone in the house to keep your animal company if I have to work. Which is only a few hours a few days a week. My mom is Mia and is an approved rover sitter on my profile :) I love keeping the dogs active and letting them play. I have a large fenced in yard with a doggy door so they can always feel free to use the potty or get some fresh air. Plus park visits! I treat my dogs like guests. They can join me to cuddle on the couch or bed ❤️ their comfort is my top priority so they feel safe while you’re out of town .
“AMAZING! Spectacular! There isn’t a word to express how amazing Jason and Tania are! Kona was treated like a king :) Tania sent the best pictures and always let me know how Kona was feeling. She communicated every concern and showed how much she loves what she does. After a few walks she figured out his likes and dislikes and just let my pup do his thing whether that was rolling in the grass and just chilling or watching all the squirrels. Kona also LOVED Tania, you could tell by the pictures. I was always at ease knowing that Kona was being cared for so wonderfully. Not only are the best people ever, they are also extremely flexible and are amazing communicators. When ever I had a last minute walk needed or a change in schedule they were eager to help make that change. They will be Kona's number one choice for walks for life. ❤️”

Molly does a great job with paying attention and providing detail information about your pet and Molly. Thanks for going the extra mile and wiping butter’s butt after a nasty poop,I appreciate your attention to detail and noticing things outside of the ordinary.
While I have been laid up post-surgery, Laura has been walking my two boys. She is amazing, both my dogs are challenging in their own way, but she has had no trouble getting them out to walk and brings them back happy and tired. I have booked her for a further week, and depending on how my healing proceeds, further dates as well. Thank you, Laura! Sammy is clearly calming down and gaining confidence; he did not even fuss at the physical therapist today!
I am so happy that I was introduced to Karissa through my regular Rover dog walker… she is amazing!!! It was instantly clear in our meet and greet that she loves fur babies of all kinds and would take great care of mine while I’m away. I am so appreciative of her extra effort and willingness to drive a very long distance (twice a day!) so my dog can enjoy his long walks/fetch sessions- most people would never do that. She is punctual, reliable, thorough, quick to answer messages, and very caring- my highest recommendation 💖.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Southport. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs

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.
