“Suzanne and her husband took great care of our pup, even as he became ill. How much she cares is truly uncommon and so appreciated. I want to note how she even took care of our home, cleaning up after the sick pup. Maury looks forward to the next time Suzanne is coming over for a walk!”

About: I’m a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience volunteering at my local animal shelter two to three times a week. I regularly walk dogs, foster animals in my home, and transport animals to meet rescue organizations. Through volunteering and fostering, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’m patient, dependable, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether they need walks, playtime, cuddles, or just some extra company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐾 *Fear, Anxiety, and Stress (FAS) course taken with Appalachian State University* I’m available on weekdays and some weekends. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care. I can accommodate drop-in visits and make sure your beloved family member gets plenty of attention, playtime, feeding, and care while you’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I follow feeding, medication, and care instructions closely and always make sure they have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I’m also experienced with fostering and caring for animals that need a little extra attention.
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats since fourth grade. I can handle energetic younger dogs as well as older dogs who may like things done a certain way. I have cared for my own dog as well as neighbors’ dogs. I am currently living at home and overall have a wide open schedule, leaving lots of time for dog walks and play-time with any pets. I will always do my best to follow any specific rules or guidelines that a client may have for their dog and be respectful of their home environment.
About: Hello, my name is Faith. I’ve been pet-sitting for 12 years and absolutely love all types of animals, both big and small. I have experience taking care of and walking all types of dogs and cats. Not only do I provide a great service for them, I also provide the love and affection that the owner would give if they were present. I work from home so am available to the animals all day. My neighborhood has lots of walking trails that I’d love to enjoy with your pup. We also have a dog park nearby that I love to take my own dog to that I can take your pup to (with parents permission of course!). I am happy to accommodate special requests. I even have grooming / bathing experience from my own pup as well. My goal is for you, the pet owner, to enjoy your time away and have the rest taken care of for your fur baby. With two pets of my own, I understand how important this is to pet owners. If you have any questions about my services, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I work from home - so I am home all day every day to care for your pet. This helps me be extra flexible and to meet your pets need. Also, they will never be lonely! I have a large indoor space for your pet, pet beds, toys, treats and whatever your pet desires! Your pet will be safe, cared for and loved while in my care.
“Jess was great! She took my overly energetic Vizsla for an hour walk, back to back days, on the Chatfield trails (she asked first). He loved her and had a great time on the trail! She also sent lots of great pictures. Will definitely use Jess again!”
About: I previously worked at Allen Veterinary Clinic in Texas earning my Vet Tech Certification and am currently enrolled in online college after leaving the Marine Corps. Dogs and cats have been my speciality but I love all animals. I am currently a stay at home parent enrolled in online school. I am available in the early morning and late afternoons but am flexible. Please note that I will have my toddler with me for all bookings. I treat all animals as though they were my own and then some. Animals have funny personalities and each unique in their own way, I do my best to honor their likes and dislikes as well as yours!
About: I have four people that I dog and kitty sit for. I just wanted to open that up a little more so I thought I would try this app. I love all kind of animals. I have a little dog of my own and I am keeping my daughters cat until she gets out of college in December. Anytime I’m walking my little dog around the neighborhood and we see other dogs walking I’m usually always interested in meeting their dog and seeing what They are and getting their name so if we see them again. Little things like that are just a joy. I think you would see when you meet me in person you will know I would be perfect for your baby.
About: I offer dog walking, potty breaks, and playtime as well as house sitting. I love being outside. I have had dogs and cats all of my life and I am very responsible and compassionate. I treat all pets as if they are my family. If you have a high energy dog I can definitely handle him/her and wear him out! I can also care for cats, fish, rabbits, etc. (no snakes please!) I can bring in mail, take trash cans to and from the curb on trash days, water plants, you name it! Message me for details!! I enjoy walking dogs and letting them out to use the bathroom first thing each morning. If they require constant care I can do that or if they’re fine to do their own thing I can also leave them to that. I prefer caring for pets in the pets home. This is more comfortable for them anyways. Doggy anxiety is a real thing! And when their family is out of town, it’s best to keep them in their own comfortable environment.
About: Ever since I was little, my life has been based around animals. I’ve owned all sorts of pets and even helped to run a farm. I am comfortable with all pet needs and circumstances. Young or old to big and small, I will take it all. I work at an elementary school in the special education classroom. One of the bonuses of this job is that I have my summers off! Because of this I am able to use my free schedule for your animals full time! I sleep with my two fur babies each night. I want the animals to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will work hard to gain their trust. I am willing to match their high energy levels or keep calm if they desire.
“Alissa is absolutely the sweetest ? Luna and I are so lucky to have her. Despite an injured foot she is still willing to show up and spent time with my puppy! Luna loves her and I will keep using her for as long as I can! She is a caring, wonderful person. Any animal would be lucky to have her around!”
“April is awesome. She was easy to communicate with and asked a lot of valid questions in order to provide our dogs with the best care. The dogs enjoyed her company and she gave us peace of mind while we were away.”

I am not currently doing Boardings until the nearer future, but I am still doing, and enjoying doing, Sittings, Drop Ins, Overnight Stays, and Walks!

Whether that be with lots of walks, giving medicine, groomings, or baths, I want your pet to feel at home when I am with them. :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Surf City is $18 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $26 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 1,459 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Surf City. 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 Surf City. 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 Surf City 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 Surf City. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
