“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. ❤️”
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 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.
“Courtney has been absolutely amazing with our dog Bia. She has accommodated last minute requests. Her communication is excellent during scheduling requests and walks. Most importantly Bia loves her! Highly recommend.”
About: I have worked in animal shelters and doggy daycares for years, giving me lots of experience caring for and walking all different kinds of dogs, from easy-going seniors to jumping, leash- biting puppies, to hard pullers. I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I have plenty of my own animas currently. I’ve also owned guinea pigs, birds, and a snake for many years in the past. I have a very open schedule, so I have lots of time to give to your fur babies! I occasionally travel out of town for a few days, but other than that I’m ready to hang out! I’m patient and gentle with all animals, but I also love to play with animals that have more energy. I know how to control even the most difficult dogs on a leash and how to follow specific care instructions for tasks such as feeding and administering medication.
About: I am a certified dog groomer. I own five cats and have been taking great care of and feeding cats and dogs for my friends and family. I absolutely love animals!

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.

“Allison has walked my dog for a week while I have been at work. Her and her boyfriend have done an amazing job with my dog. I would suggest them to others and plan on using them in the future.”
“Nicole did a great job walking my dogs plus she did a few extra things for me around my house. I’m recovering from hip surgery & she offered to do whatever I needed. I highly recommend her.”
“Deontae was great! I have an anxious and high energy herding dog who can be a handle full, but didnt phase Deontae at all. He also had great communication. I definitely plan on using him again.”
About: Caring for my own dog has taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and how to create a safe, comforting environment. I know how to handle daily care like feeding, walks, playtime, and basic training, and I’m comfortable with things like managing energy levels and keeping pets calm when routines change. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care to make sure they get consistent attention throughout the day. Each day includes designated times for feeding, walks or play sessions, bathroom breaks, and check-ins. I will also schedule time for grooming tasks like brushing or cleaning up, as well as giving any medications if required. When pets stay with me, I will provide a safe, pet-friendly environment where they feel comfortable and welcome. I follow their usual routine, including food, bathroom breaks, and rest that you provide me with. I will also supervise interactions with any other pets to ensure safety and comfort as my top priorities. Making pets feel like part of the family while they’re in my care is one of my main goals!
About: I have always had a dog in my life as long as I can remember. From puppies all the way up to senior dogs and everyone in between. I am employed full time 5 days a week. I work from 7:30am-4:30pm Monday-Friday. So I am free before work and then all night to watch after the animals. I have a fenced yard and a dog park near my house. My wife is always there for extra dog cuddles and to be there when I can’t be.
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and others dogs reliably since I was 16. I'm twenty six now and definitely unafraid to help with furry friends. I enjoy animals and am not afraid of dogs in the slightest. The biggest animal I have cared for was a horse so I feel pretty confident in my ability. I'm currently transitioning from a school job into the summer. So my time is very flexible and I'm available most days of the week. I'm not picky on the day people need me I just want to make sure I have enough of a heads up to properly schedule my days in advance. I enjoy playing and entertaining myself and the animals through it. I thoroughly enjoy active dogs and would enjoy getting to know yours. Don't get me wrong though old yeller can sit on the couch if needed I'll make sure the couch potatoes get some love too. If breakable are in the house which is in most cases. I prefer to play with the dogs outside if possible. I like knowing the dogs food schedules if they need fed to ensure they don't lose their eating cycle habits.
About: I’ve grown up with a large family, siblings older and younger. All living under the same roof, giving me no other choice but to have a great amount of patience. Any pet owner like myself knows, you have to amazing patience to be the best pet owner. I have a fur baby of my own and would want him to be with someone who has experience and is truly genuine like myself. I am currently a full time college student who will be home on a very extended break. I feel helping others taking care of their babies is the best thing for me. I have a fur baby myself who is quite young in age and full of energy, so with permission of course I would allow our doggies to play together to burn a lot of that energy. I’m also very capable of completing any task wished by my client.

I will be respectful of your privacy and space, and will treat your dog and home as if I am caring for my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southport
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 💖.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Southport on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 .

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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
