About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing animals with the love and attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs overnight care, walks, playtime, feeding, or simply a companion while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines and preferences so they can feel at home. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring and reliable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing them with plenty of attention, affection, and care while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I work Saturday through Wednesday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with a one-hour break during the day that I use to check on pets, provide potty breaks, walks, feeding, and attention as needed. Before work, I make time for morning walks, feeding, and playtime, and after work I am available for evening care, exercise, and companionship. On Thursdays and Fridays, I have greater flexibility and can spend more time with pets throughout the day. I make sure all pets in my care receive regular attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, fresh water, meals, and plenty of affection to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure pets have fresh water, regular meals, potty breaks, exercise, and a comfortable place to relax. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and routine so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playing fetch, going for walks, or simply relaxing nearby, I’m happy to give them the care and attention they need. My goal is for every pet to feel loved, safe, and right at home from the moment they arrive until they’re reunited with their family. 🐾❤️

About: I have a dog about 70 pounds. She gets so much attention and I take her out very often. I also have a frisky cat who I love dearly. I love floofs. I also love watching all other animals. I own a bearded dragon named Bahamoot. He’s great. Animals are amazing and I just love to be of help and care for these amazing animals. I’m very lenient with animals on furniture. I’ll play with them all the time (literally) cats hold a special place in my heart. I got my first dog when I was 3 so I know how to take care of dogs. Please consider me for pet sitting. I’m 21 years of age. I work a full-time job from 4-10 PM every day of the week, but I’m available all hours before then (6 AM-3:30 PM). Thank you! Living in the outer banks means there are plenty of pedestrian and dog friendly places! While I do not have a fenced in yard, I have many miles to walk with your pet.

About: Experienced with animals of all ages and types. Disabilities or hyperactive. No matter the personality type, I’m sure your pet(s) and I will vibe :) I’ve been traveling the world for 6 years now and it seems everywhere I go, an animal in need finds its way to me. In my album of photos, you’ll see the kitten with big ears who we rescued from a trash can in Colombia & found a home for. The stray momma dog who kept following us home & had 8 puppies while in our care in Guatemala who we then found a foster home for. The two kittens we found along the highway in Mexico after our car broke down (coincidence… I think not!) and my sister now cares for. The big dog with the messed up eye who we rescued along with 3 kittens & 5 puppies and found homes for them all & the big dog has his eye back :) along with various other strays who we’ve taken in, found homes for or simply gave tons of love (and food) to along our travels. I don’t have any pets of my own since I just moved here and travel often, which is why I’m on this app, looking to give some love and care to animals while their owners are away :) I am a mural artist and mostly do gig work that fulfills my soul such as animal interactions such as this app provides here :) Open to having pets stay with me if needed or able to go to your home to care for them. When I had my dog, I made her homemade raw food, so if this is something you do and would want me to do while you’re away, it wouldn’t be a problem. Would love to take them hiking or on walks as well!

About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was 13. I used to volunteer at a humane society and now partake in “adopt a dog for a day” at our local shelter! It’s always such a great time and i’d love to give a hand to anyone who needs it with pet care. I’m currently working part time with a super flexible schedule and open to all sorts of activities! I do have transportation and can usually work my schedule around anything. I have lots of space for pups to run around and play. I also love walking through the woods/beach or going to the dog park with doggos. I am equipped with lots of treats and am ready to take on anything.

About: I've always loved dogs and caring for them. It’s important to make sure they get enough exercise and are safe. I enjoy dog walking and playing games with them like fetch and tug. I am happy to administer medication as well if needed. We have two cats, who are very sweet and laid back and normally hide out in basement when company is here! We also have an English Springer Spaniel, who loves playing with other dogs and is a respectful gentleman around the cats. I have a flexible schedule and taking care of your pets needs are at my top priority. I am available weekdays and weekends and also offer overnights. Healthy treats are provided for doggy day care and boarding. Clean dog beds provided, but feel free to bring anything that will make their stay feel more like home. I will always ensure that your fur babies are comfortable, happy, and safe.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Waves

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Waves on Rover is $23.31 per walk (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 29 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Waves. 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 Waves. 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 Waves.

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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
