About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember ! Growing up, I spent much of my time volunteering at a local animal shelter alongside my grandmother, where I helped feed the cats, clean their spaces, and make sure they felt safe and cared for. I was also actively involved in her animal rescue work, regularly attending adoption events , walking and caring for adoptable dogs and cats , and helping animals find their forever homes. Those experiences taught me how to understand animal behavior, build trust with shy or nervous pets, and provide calm, patient care. Today, I’m a proud cat mom to two rescue cats of my own, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I’m experienced with animals of all personalities , from playful and social to timid or independent, and I always take the time to make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, or just a gentle, reassuring presence while you're away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I run my own business from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule and come and go as needed. I can provide care for most of the day & night for house sitting services. I will be happy to petsit your animals in your home. Whether that means drop ins, house sitting, or dog walking, you can trust that your animals and your home will be in good hands with me. You can rest assured that when you book with me , your animals will get my full attention and care, and you as their owner will receive clear communication and updates from me every step of the way. I own two cats of my own that I love very much, so I understand just how important it is to make sure they are in good hands , safe , and well taken care of while you are away. I will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own !

About: I have always grown up with animals and my love for them led me to a job at a pet resort. I was a kennel technician for 4 years which provided me great insight to care for all types of furry friends. I just graduated college from UNC Charlotte and home in Emerald Isle for the summer. Most days I workout and hang with my family so my schedule is pretty flexible. I always try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they’re used to because I know how stressful change can feel—especially for anxious pets. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, and I make it my priority to provide comfort, consistency, and lots of love while they’re away from their parents.

About: Ive had dogs, cats, ferrets, turtles, fish and more ever since I was little. I currently have dogs and ferrets who are my whole world. I currently have plenty of free time not just for my own furry friends but to help others give their furry friends the best life possible. I have a senior citizen beagle who has severe hip dysplasia and arthritis he takes medication 3 times a day orally, I also have a 4 year old mix breed puppy who is high energy and loves going on hikes and adventures. I recently got a great pyrenees/husky baby who is my little panda baby but loves going on walks, playing outside, going for car rides and being social.

About: I love animals, especially dogs, more than words can express! We have always had small dogs in our family since I was born. I could never imagine living without a dog in my household. In fact I have always had my miniature schnauzers as my fur babies since my early 20’s. I also use my endless dog walks as another form of exercise especially with the awesome beach roads all over the island that we are fortunate to enjoy living on the island. Since I never had children I have extremely spoiled animals. Me and my husband are retired and I work a very part time job so have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. My husband may also like to join in with my walks as well to help keep your pooch entertained and continue with our daily exercise regimen. If your pet does not do well on long walks please mention that so we don’t wear them out too much! I would like to walk your dog on the beach or beach access if allowed. If you would rather we stay on the neighborhood streets that’s fine too! My house/pet sitting service will include feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up pet waste in yard or litter box and light housekeeping such as vacuuming up pet fur if applicable. I have a very flexible schedule. I do work a few days a week part time but only 4-5 hr shifts at a time. I would love to be your pet’s next best friend! I am an extremely anal retentive pet owner and home owner. I probably take better care of my pets than my own self! We do not miss any yearly vet appointments and are very attentive to any ailments that may come along. I always say the worst part of being a pet owner is when they have to cross the rainbow bridge.

About: Hello! My name is Moe and I have had the pleasure of being around animals my entire life. From helping my parents with the many pets we have owned to watching my neighbor's and relative's animals, and even farm sitting, taking care of and loving animals has been an integral part of my life! I have job experience at a pet boutique that also provided grooming, daycare, and boarding services. I also have work experience as a dog walker in the metro Atlanta area, and love getting to interact with the various types of pets I come across. I have all of the skills and experience to make sure your beloved pet is treated and taken care of the exact way it needs! Pet care is worked in to my weekly routine by ensuring we get plenty of time together before and after my work shifts. I work as the Studio Manager for our local Wine & Design with work days usually being Tuesday-Saturday 10 am - 6 pm! With pet parent permission I am allowed to bring dogs in to work to spend the day with me as well! I do my best to incorporate plenty of enrichment such as play time or walks to ensure that the critters are expending their energy and not spending too much time wondering where their owners are!!

About: What sets me apart is that I actually stick to your pet’s routine and pay attention to the little things. I also don’t mind helping taking care of exotic pets because I am trying to be an Exotics/Wildlife Veterinarian and have always had a passion for exotics, so I’ll be more than happy to help! I’ve helped with puppy training like potty reinforcing basic commands, but I am always willing to learn any crate training or potty training. I’m also comfortable with senior pups and making sure they get extra patience, slower walks, or medications if needed but I will need to learn how to administer your pup’s medication. I always send updates and photos so you know your pups are happy and taken care of. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I’m mostly available in the afternoons. I usually plan my classes and responsibilities earlier in the day, so afternoons are open for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. It works out great because I can give pets my full attention without feeling rushed, and I’m able to stay consistent with their schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and walk schedules, give them plenty of attention, and respect their personality and space. I’m also very respectful of the home and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

About: My golden retriever and I moved to NC from the PNW this last year so we know how to adventure at its finest! I have grown up with many dogs and have taken care of every age. My goldie is 3 yo and very playful and full of love for the outdoors. We go on multiple walks a day, one of which entails trails or the beach and your doggy would be receiving the same care! I am working full time Monday-Wednesday & Friday, so am completely available and home full time on Thursday, Saturday/Sunday for a fun day with the pups! I currently walk my dog 2-3 times a day even during the week days and spend a lot of time outdoors as she’s young and energetic! She is always a big time snuggler and I look forward to spending time playing and cuddling with your pup as well! If you need pet care during the week I go for a long walk w my pup in the morning and as soon as I’m home from work, I do not crate her during the day so if your dog would do well I can do either! I do also occasionally come home on my lunch to let her out for a short walk as well if time allows. I live in a home with a fenced in backyard with a doggy door. Any speciality care that is desired, I am ready to give!

About: I’ve grown up with aussies my whole life. I have fostered other aussies. I have also dog sat many other dog breeds and have loved everyone of them. I am also a groomer, I brush, bathe and trim fur babies. My love for animals only grows as I get older. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me for many years to care, groom and make sure their animals are well taken care of. At home my family has three tonkinese cats, two birds and one dog. I have never lived without an animal in our home and I couldn’t imagine not having any animal under my roof. I am a full time student, however with that comes the need for frequent breaks from studying. I love to be animals and rely on them just as much as they rely on me. I require to get myself outside at least 3 times a day. With the breaks from school that I require I can easily and gladly fill that time to take care of someone’s furry friend♥️ I can easily walk your animal as frequently as you’d prefer. I love the outdoors and showing them off. I thoroughly enjoy hikes and runs and anything outdoors. I will be a Nursing student at Liberty University and there are so many places to go around that allow animals.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Swansboro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Swansboro on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 .

As of August 2026, there are 604 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Swansboro. 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 Swansboro. 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 Swansboro.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Swansboro. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
