About: I have over 20 years experience as a pet sitter. I had two dogs named, Gizmo, breed - Shiatsu/Maltese mix, 7 pounds, 16 years old and Bullet, breed - Maltese/poodle mix 25 pounds 16 years old who've passed away displayed in my profile pictures. Your Pet's home away from home. Taking care of your babies is important, by providing a Pet friendly neighborhood with a park a block away and a fenced in backyard for your pets to enjoy. My experience in Pet care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I'm currently working from home full-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I'm availble weekdays and weekends from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. I have a fenced in back yard and I'm an empty nester so can provide your fur baby with all the attention they need. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I have had my fur baby since 2012 and so far she is perfect. I really don't have professional experience but I have tons of personal experience from taking care of my fur baby, my friends and family fur babies. I have tons of love to give to any fur baby. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed! I am currently doing this full time for a short period of time. Unfortunately I can't do boarding or day care but will do Drop in Visits and Walking. I am a US Navy veteran and a dog lover! I can take them out potty regularly during the day, treats after each potty break, will take them to the park for walks. Fur babies can get on the couch with me, enough dog beds and blankets to go around for naps. Food and water available. (owner should bring own food so diet is not changed). I have a 9lbs dog who is 9 years old, she is a lap dog, very calm, loves naps and likes to play. She doesn't do well around extremely hyper dogs but she will play with active dogs. She gets along with any size dog but I prefer small dogs as my mom has a fear of big dogs.

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs! I’ve dog sat for my friends and family multiple times. I have a rescue dog of my own who needs extra care and she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to my husband and I! Some might argue that I prefer pets over people and I won’t disagree. Currently making a career switch and taking time to really focus on what makes me happy! My passion for caring for animals never goes unnoticed. I have a fully fenced in yard. I have experience with crating dogs, walking dogs, cleaning up messes, and being around multiple animals at once.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. My family has always had boxers, but I love all fur babies! I have had dogs of all ages from 8 week crazy puppies to 12 year old grey faced sweet hearts. I have spent over nights with friends dogs and have done day time or drop in visits. I always look forward to getting to work with new people and meeting new furry friends! I am a nursing student in Belmont, NC August-May and apart of the acrobatics and tumbling team at my college as well. While I am home in Bloomington, IL during the summers I work in the evenings coaching gymnastics and during the day I work part-time as a CNA. At home I love to play outside with my dogs, and I go on runs and walks often with them. When I am with other families dogs I respect all of their wishes regarding their home and their pets, and love to spend time getting to know what each dog needs: cuddles, playing, inside or outside time, etc.

About: With my family I’ve cared for a chihuahua terrier (Tiny) that we’ve had since I was 12 years old. She’s an old lady now, so she’s more into cuddling these days . I was a dog mom of an energetic, very playful, and very loving 5yr old pitlab (Nino) and cared for him up until his very last day (1/31/24). Noting my experience with both small & big dogs, varying levels of play, needs, and energy. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I used to have a dog, but he’s passed on and routine doesn’t just go away. There’s plenty of room in my days and in my heart for your fur babies. I used to live in the city, so my dog and I used to go on walks around the inner harbor often. We’re originally from NC so Nino loved being able to run around off leash and roll in the grass, so sometimes at we would go on night walks in the park just so he could be free.

About: I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy the everyday rhythms of pet care—feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and quiet companionship. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of each pet’s unique personality, boundaries, and routines. I understand that pets can have very different needs—some are energetic and social, others are shy, sensitive, or independent. I’m calm, observant, and gentle in my approach, and I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I offer pet care during the times I’m not with my son, which means when I’m booked, your pet has my full attention. I plan my availability carefully and only accept visits I know I can show up for consistently and on time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and mindful of each pet’s environment, routines, and signals. I take care to follow instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, respectful presence in your home. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every home with respect, communicate clearly, and approach each visit with patience and care so your pet feels safe and at ease.

About: I have over 12 years of experience in dog care, with a strong background in grooming, vet assisting, training, and behavioral work. I’ve completed educational courses through colleges and attended numerous seminars and certification classes to deepen my knowledge. This hands-on experience, combined with formal training, has allowed me to work effectively with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, ensuring they receive the best care and attention. Whether it's grooming, behavior modification, or general wellness, I am dedicated to providing top-quality care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Pet care is truly the core of my daily routine. My day begins with feeding routines, followed by cleaning my dog training room and conducting morning training sessions or walks. The rest of the day is dedicated to various aspects of animal care, including grooming, training, playtime, feeding, meal prep, and administering medications when needed. I do it all to ensure the well-being of every pet I care for. On weekends, I’m usually at a dog sport trial or competition, or enjoying outdoor activities like hiking and swimming with my pets, or simply relaxing and bonding with them. Pet care is not just a job for me; it's my passion and lifestyle. I provide exceptional care for dogs, whether in my own home or a client’s, by combining my animal medical experience, grooming skills, training expertise, and dog behaviorist background. With my experience in training and behavior modification, I can address a wide range of behavioral issues, ensuring dogs are well-mannered and comfortable in their environment. I am well-versed in administering medications and handling medical needs, ensuring each dog’s health is closely monitored. My grooming experience allows me to maintain their coats, keeping them clean, comfortable, and healthy. Above all, I approach every pet with respect, recognizing their unique needs and preferences. I take pride in being responsible and reliable, offering a safe and loving environment while upholding the highest standards of care.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years and currently have four dogs of my own, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I also have experience caring for a senior dog who has undergone back surgery, which has taught me the importance of patience, careful handling, medication routines, mobility considerations, and paying close attention to changes in behavior. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels and will always treat your pets with the same care, attention, and love I give my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care for your pets. I’m available for boarding and I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s routine, including walks, playtime, feeding, and any special care they may need. I have a fenced yard and four dogs of my own who are friendly and accustomed to being around other dogs. I prioritize safety, supervision, and making sure every pet feels comfortable in my home. I’m also comfortable using crates when needed and will follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions you provide.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Stanley is $18 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 5,148 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Stanley. 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 Stanley. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Stanley after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stanley. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
