About: Hi! My name is Wednesday, and my pronouns are they/them. I've been using Rover for 4 years and have had dozens of wonderful clients! I have experience with many types of dogs, from newborn to senior or nervous to energetic. I love dogs! I grew up around many and I now have my own named October. She does not come along with me on my jobs. I am dedicated to creating a safe and loving environment for your pets, along with clear communication and a trusting relationship with clients. Thank you for your consideration! I work a part-time job in Wake Forest. I always make sure before booking a client that I have enough time to dedicate to their pets so that they are properly taken care of! Communication is key! Before booking pet care, I do my best to get to know your dog, including their routine, temperament, and any other little quirks! We will discuss this information either through Rover, a phone call, and/or a Meet and Greet. My hope is that through these conversations you feel at ease leaving your pet in my care! My top priority is making sure your pet is comfortable, safe, and taken care of.
“Sharon was absolutely fantastic. Excellent communication and plenty of updates, photos, and videos. I couldn't recommend her more. Especially since our request was such so short notice.”

“Krista was an absolute lifesaver for our family! We hired her to walk my mom’s dog after my mom injured herself in a fall. From our very first text exchange, Krista was incredibly warm, kind, and responsive. My mom absolutely loved her, and so did her dog, Millie. Krista was always on time, dependable, and wonderful with Millie. It gave our whole family such peace of mind knowing Millie was in such good hands. We are so grateful we found Krista and can’t wait to use her again. ❤️”


About: Whether it's a playful pup or a senior dog needing extra care, I tailor each walk and sitting session to fit your dog's specific needs with love and expertise. I work part-time as a server during the evenings, which allows me to offer flexible dog walking and sitting services from 6 AM to 4 PM. This schedule lets me give your pets the attention and care they deserve while you're at work or away. In My Home: When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. I maintain a consistent routine, so your pet feels at home and relaxed. I also ensure they have their own cozy space to retreat to when needed. At Your Home: When caring for your pet in your home, I maintain their routine—whether it's feeding, walks, or playtime—while making sure they feel safe and loved. I treat your home with the utmost respect and ensure your pet’s environment remains stress-free and familiar.

However, spiders need not apply! 🙂 I currently work until 2: 30 p.m. But I have flexibility to go check on pets, I can also do evening runs and or house sitting as needed! my preference would be to check on your pets in your home, but can provide care in my home.

About: I love to travel… but I hate leaving my pets behind. I’d love to ease the stress of travel by caring for your pets and sending photos of our adventures while you are on an adventure. I am happy to provide care for your beloved pet and I can even come during lunch breaks to care for your pet. Let me know how I can help! I love treating your pet like it’s my pet. That means being careful with safety and safety providing fun activities for your pet. Of course, an important part is sending you photos and keeping you updated.

About: I was born an animal lover and have loved caring for them since I can remember. I’ve helped pet sit for many friends and family for years! Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish. I would LOVE to help more people with their sweet pets in the local Wake Forest area. I’m a stay at home mother and homeschooler to our daughter, and have lived in WF since 2020. I’m looking to help bring in some extra income to help our family. All animals deserve respect, kindness, love and dignity and I would be honored to help you care for your loved ones at home however I am able. Animals bring a wealth of joy to my heart! We have a 2 year old cat and a 15 year old chihuahua/terrier mix at home that I have had since she was 1 month old. She is now blind and in kidney failure, so I am experienced with caring for senior pups as well as puppies and all those in between. I know the stress that comes when planning to leave town and needing to plan for your pets to be taken care of and loved on. It’s stressful and can cause anxiety, especially for those that have special and more unique needs. I would love to help relieve some of that stress and anxiety for you if I can! I’m a stay-at-home homeschool mom to our daughter and have a flexible schedule. We live near downtown Wake Forest which enables me to easily pop over when I need to! I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats including our own cat and senior dog at home. I know what it takes to care for animals well and I am naturally wired to go beyond expectation when caring for animals. They bring me so much joy and comfort and I would count it a privilege to care for yours.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 11. I currently have two cats and two dogs, so I understand how important it is to give pets the love and care they deserve! Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy and safe while you’re away! I’m a part time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule to take care of pets throughout the day. I can easily adjust to fit each pets routine and make sure they’re happy and comfortable! I prioritize maintaining your pets routine to reduce stress. I follow all instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I also make sure your pet is feeling loved and comfortable while you’re away and make sure your home stays tidy and secure.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. In the past, I've pet sat a Golden Retriever puppy and an Australian Shepherd together, two Australian Shepherds and a Corgi, two Pugs (including a puppy), two Boxers, a German Shepherd puppy, a mixed-breed puppy, and several other dogs. I'm comfortable with energetic puppies, multi-dog households, and providing each pet with the attention, exercise, and care they need to feel safe and happy while you're away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. On Fridays, I am available all day, making it easy to accommodate longer visits, daycare, or overnight stays. Monday through Thursday, I am typically available after 2:00 p.m. once my classes are finished, and I can also accept bookings between classes when my schedule allows. I do my best to be flexible and work with each client's needs, so don't hesitate to reach out if you're looking for care outside of these hours—I will always do my best to accommodate your pet's schedule. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, administer medications if needed, and make sure pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I also keep the home clean by picking up after pets, cleaning food and water bowls, and maintaining litter boxes or outdoor potty areas. I respect my clients' homes by keeping everything tidy, following their instructions carefully, and sending regular updates with photos so they know their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they're away.
About: I have a shih tzu of my own who is 16 yrs old, which has allowed me to get comfortable with dogs. I have taken care of many of my friends, family, and neighbors’ pets. I’ve pet sat many dogs and cats and even a frog! I love any opportunity to bond with animals and make them loved :) I am a college student, attending Wake Forest University. I am home for the summer and holidays with lots of free time to care for furry friends! I love to play with pets throwing toys, giving lots of love rubs along with making sure to tend to their biological needs. I am very attentive to each pet and stick to all instructions given by their owners. They know them best!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with extensive professional and personal experience in pet care. I previously owned and operated my own pet daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. In addition to running a facility, I’ve spent many years caring for my own pets, as well as rescuing and fostering animals in need. Working with rescues has given me experience with shy, anxious, and high-needs dogs — and taught me patience, structure, and how to build trust. I’m comfortable administering medications, managing feeding schedules, supervising play, and maintaining consistent routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I treat every animal like family. I am able to accommodate morning and evening potty breaks, playtime, walks and meals as I do have a full-time job where I will be gone from 7:30AM to 4:30PM Monday through Friday but I have large kennels available if pets are needed to be crated and a designated dog room where they can be left out comfortably. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. My home features a fully fenced-in yard for secure outdoor play and is located in a sidewalk-friendly neighborhood for safe, structured walks. I have three friendly, well-socialized dogs of my own, and I always conduct slow, controlled introductions to ensure everyone feels comfortable. Feeding times are handled separately to prevent food guarding or stress, and crating options are available if requested or if a dog feels more secure with their own space. For additional peace of mind, I also utilize camera monitoring when needed to ensure safety at all times. My goal is to provide a calm, structured, and cozy environment where every pet feels safe and cared for.
About: I have grown up with and taken care of snakes, bunnies, hamsters, cats, dogs, fish, chickens a tarantula and a ferret. I have raised 5 puppies including a yellow Labrador, 2 Australian Shepherds, a Great Dane/Black Lab and a 1 year old Rescue Hound Mix with one eye. I have cared for a Senior Dog and 2 Senior Cats. I treat every animal with love, care & respect just like my own. Pet Care is my #1 job! I can try to be available for boarding your animal at my home, As Long As they are crate trained and enjoy sleeping and staying in their crate overnight or for short daytime breaks. I would prefer drop in visits. I have 3 dogs that live with me FT, and no extra room for a visiting pup to sleep in my bed. Typically have time for 3 drop-in visits per day, sometimes 4 if necessary. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! Exercise, Attention and Nutrition are the 3 most important ways I care for my own pets and my clients. Safety is also extremely important. I have a large 1 acre fenced in backyard at my own home. Always use a harness and a leash for walks or outings. I will make sure your pet is feeling loved, safe and fed with plenty of scratches & snuggles (if they like that), walks or outdoor play, fresh water and food and comfort.
About: My name is AnnaMarie, and I love dogs. I work from home Thursday thru Sunday and would love to spend some time with your pups. This is my way of NOT getting another dog even though I want to lol. I used to pet sit for my neighbors whenever they would go on vacation, and I have two dogs myself (one a 4-month old puppy!) and am very protective. I'm always very respectful in other's homes and would provide the best time for your pups. I am available for helping with dogs as I work from home and have a flexible schedule! I am accustomed to early morning, midday and evening walks and am very familiar with providing medication as one of our dogs was a senior with a variety of health issues. I now also have a 4-month old puppy so I understand all the puppy antics too! At my own house, I have a big fenced in backyard and a very walkable neighborhood for walk breaks. I also am able to crate your dog or my dogs depending on your dogs personality and what suits them best. In client homes, I am extremely respectful of your space and happy to to do walks, medications, clean up if needed, etc.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wake Forest
We’ve had several dog sitters/walkers over the years and Cindy is by far the best. Sage is a true chow chow and can be very particular about people and handling. Cindy was very patient with her and gave her the space she needed to adjust. Sage always barked when Cindy arrived while wagging her tail, she responded well to treats and commands and enjoyed her walks with Cindy. We really lucked out in finding Cindy and are very grateful for her care of Sage.

This is the first time we booked through Rover app. We are very fortunate that we got Kaley to take care of our dogs. She took time a day before to meet both our dogs and us. We only booked her to take our dogs for a walk in our neighborhood. If there is more than five stars, we would have given that to her to go extra miles to feed our dogs and staying back to make sure they finish their food.

Krista was an absolute lifesaver for our family! We hired her to walk my mom’s dog after my mom injured herself in a fall. From our very first text exchange, Krista was incredibly warm, kind, and responsive. My mom absolutely loved her, and so did her dog, Millie. Krista was always on time, dependable, and wonderful with Millie. It gave our whole family such peace of mind knowing Millie was in such good hands. We are so grateful we found Krista and can’t wait to use her again. ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Wake Forest on Rover is $19.98 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 4,829 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wake Forest. 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 Wake Forest. 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 Wake Forest.
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 Wake Forest. On Rover:
- 89% 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 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.
