About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Dogs seem to take to me well. I’ve worked as a junior groomer for a few months and trained my own dog. Not professionally, but he listens and understands. I’ve always loved dogs and been an animal person! I have an almost 4 month old baby so I have been a SAHM. I love to work and would like to help my family more. This way I can be at home loving on my son and also your fur babies! We just moved into our forever home due to my husband being retired Navy. We got married in Hawaii where he was stationed and I grew up. Our neighborhood was military and I would watch peoples dogs, board, check ins, walks. I worked at a doggie daycare and became close with a client who would bring her dog over to me to watch instead. Also, became very close with some people in the neighborhood whom I’ve take care of their dogs and now can say are friends like family!

About: I’ve pet sat my friends animals, and they’ve had so many! Senior dogs that have accidents and have behavioral issues. Exotic pets, of many kids. Every morning, I fill the cat and water bowl in my room, weekly I clean the bowls. For my dogs, whenever my parents don’t feed them cause they are out, I feed them and fill their water. I brush their coats, and try to give them baths every few weeks or so! However the pet parents would like, but I care for what is best for their health. I understand each pet is different and needs different things. I can bathe the animals depending on behavior, my right leg doesn't haven't as much feeling since surgery and cant handle a lot of big pressure.

About: I bring lifelong experience in canine care, beginning in childhood and continuing through the present. I currently care for five dogs and have extensive hands-on experience managing multiple dogs at once, including the care of three litters and several additional dogs in the past. I am available seven days a week with flexible hours. At this time, I am seeking a position that offers flexibility rather than a full-time commitment, and I am eager to pursue work that aligns with my experience and interests. If needed, I am able to safely crate your dog or place them in a designated area. I am experienced in handling dogs that are uncomfortable walking on a leash and can manage them calmly and confidently. I also ensure that all basic needs are met before departure, including providing food and fresh water.

“Alani and her crew were super friendly and loving towards Mallory. Our meet and greet went great, and they were on time to take Mal out for a walk and spent some good quality time with her. Lots of sweet pictures and good vibes were sent during the visit. Alani is super chill and professional, and I'll be booking again so they can spend some time with Mal and help out our family.”

About: I have always been surrounded by dog, whether it was my own or taking care of others. I believe that dogs deserve as much love as they give us. I am a homebody, but that means that I'll be more available to hang out with your dog for walks or trips to the park. I live in a townhouse apartment, which means that I have experience with walking dogs around non-fenced areas. This also means I will be observant if you do have a fenced area.

About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by pets. My parents took care of dogs all throughout me growing up :) as well as me and my mom were constantly bringing home more (including a pig once😅) all animals are family to me and I take great pride in providing exceptional care to other peoples furbabies when they need me :) I currently have one dog and three cats who I love so dearly. I am home 90% of the time and do most of my work from home. I am very flexible and can 99% of the time make things work to fit your pets needs!! Happy to be of service to you☺️ I am home 90% of the time and do most of my work from home. I am enrolled in college and when classes are active I have a 1 hour long class on Mondays and Wednesdays. I spend most of my time cuddled up with my pets (and yours if there here ☺️) or im running around with my dog to burn off some of his energy😆 my schedule is very flexible and pet care will always fit into my daily routine. I have a fenced yard and gates throughout my home to separate areas where the dogs should not be or could get hurt. I do regular potty breaks every hour but if this needs to be adjusted due to your pets needs I can do that! I do morning and night feedings for my dog and cats but I can manage feeding your pet on their schedule as well :)

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets in the past as well as many of my friends and families. I love to snuggle them if they like it and often prefer the company of pets to humans 😅 I can take of pers after work and over night if I stay in the home.

They’re fur babies and deserve just as much love and respect.

About: I've always had pets since I was a child, and my love for them has grown even more in my adulthood. My experience in pet care comes from having my own pets, caring for those of family and friends, and volunteering over the years. Currently, I work from home, and my hobbies include going to the gym, reading, driving to the park, working on my own business, and hiking. I would be more than happy to look after your pets while you are away! I genuinely enjoy taking care of pets and would love to spend time with yours. I appreciate long walks, giving pets gentle scratches, playing fetch repeatedly, and treating your pets as I would want my own to be treated. I work from home with a flexible schedule. In my remote role, I provide pet-sitting services, caring for your pets in your home as if they were my own. I guarantee that your pets will never be left alone for more than four hours at a time.

About: Hi there! I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have a 6 year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, so I’m no stranger to high energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation. Through caring for my own dog and helping friends and family with theirs over the years, I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks and feeding routines to enrichment, playtime, and providing extra patience for anxious or reactive pups. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. One of the perks of working freelance is having a flexible schedule! That means I can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and last-minute requests. I love spending time with animals, so getting to care for pets throughout my week is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I’ve been trusted by friends and mutual friends to care for both their homes and pets over the years, so I understand how important that trust is and don’t take it lightly. I treat every home with respect, provide regular updates, and strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I've always believed that every pet has their own unique personality, and one of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know who they are. I love talking to animals (yes, I know they talk back in their own way!) and learning what makes each one happy! Whether they're goofy, shy, energetic, cuddly, or a little dramatic. I grew up volunteering at local animal shelters with my family once a month and have continued that tradition into my adulthood. I am known as the "go-to sitter", among close family and friends, and now as a recent college graduate, (with some extra time on my hands) I would love to take my passion and serve other pet families as well. I genuinely enjoy keeping pets active and entertained. I love going on walks and exploring different neighborhoods, parks, and walking trails, so if your dog enjoys an adventure, we'll have plenty together! I'm also happy to play games, provide enrichment, or simply relax with pets who prefer a quieter day, as I too love a good snuggle on the couch! I have experience administering medications and carefully following care instructions, so I'm comfortable caring for senior pets or animals with medical needs. I understand how important consistency is, and I always make sure medications, feeding schedules, and routines are followed exactly as instructed. I also offer house sitting, so your pets can stay comfortable in the place they know best while you travel. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible, for both you and your pets. You can rest assured your baby will be given lots of love, attention, and dependable care. As a recent college graduate, my schedule is very flexible. Which, thankfully, allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I'm caring for. Whether it's morning walks, midday potty breaks, evening playtime, overnight house sitting, or sticking to a specific medication schedule, I'm happy to work with your pet's routine. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to keep their day feeling as normal and comfortable as possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home through house sitting or drop-in visits, I follow your routines closely, keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets during walks and outdoor time, and make sure they always have fresh water, meals, and plenty of attention. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their habits, boundaries, favorite toys, and little quirks. Building trust is important to me, and I believe it starts with patience, consistency, and lots of positive interaction. I also volunteer with local dog shelters, and have been doing so for the past four years since coming to Charlotte, which has deepened my love for animals and my understanding of all kinds of personalities and needs. I'm also comfortable administering medications, keeping you updated with messages and photos, and making sure your home is treated with the same respect and care as I would my own. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet who has been loved like family while you were away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Stem

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Stem is $18 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $2 and $24 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 November 2026, there are 4,192 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Stem. 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 Stem. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Stem 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 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 Stem. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
