About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I am also insured! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.

About: Friends, coworkers, and family members have trusted me with taking care of their pets over the years. Most of my formal experience with caring for other peoples pets came during and after college, however I was raised around pets (cats and dogs) and learned how to be safe and responsible with animals when I was very little. I am very comfortable with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a good understanding of basic commands and have trained two of my own dogs from puppies. I grew up around dogs and cats (we had three golden retrievers at one point!) and always looked forward to getting a dog of my own. There is something about the bond between owner and dog that is special and unique. I enjoy having this bond with my own dog but I also love meeting new animals and seeing their personalities come out as they get comfortable interacting. I have been exposed to many types of dogs while dog sitting, visiting local dog parks, and traveling with our dogs to pet friendly locations. I am familiar with caring for dogs that take oral medication and/or have health problems such as limited sight or blindness. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about hiring me for boarding, dog walking, check-ins, or dog day care! I am home full time. I have one small child in the home, so any dogs staying with us during the day or overnight would need to be comfortable and well behaved enough to be around a young child. I have one dog in the home who is friendly and well socialized. He takes little to no time to warm up to other dogs when introduced. Your dog will have plenty of space to be comfortable to chill and play! We enjoy spending time outside on nice days. When it is too hot or cold outside I make sure our pup gets playtime or enrichment toys/treats inside. I currently can offer dog walking services, daily check-ins for cats or dogs, doggy day care, and boarding at our home (as long as your pet is a good fit with my dog and a safe fit for a home with a small child). We have a large front and backyard as well as a carport/porch area. There is plenty of space for playing fetch, having the zoomies, or chewing on a treat while getting some fresh air, rain or shine! If your dog requires being leashed/walked when going potty, that is no problem. There is plenty of space to take them around the yard for sniffs and potty, as well as walkable streets near our house, and a beautiful park with a walking trail less than 2 minutes away. Our dog currently follows recall and commands to do his "business" and come back, but if we are caring for another dog we will leash them both or follow the owner's preferences and what they are comfortable with.
“Makai was great! He took such great care of our dog while we were away. He was super personable and always made sure we were updated on how she was doing. We will definitely be booking again!”

About: I’ve grown up with and had dogs for most of my life, and have taken care of cats for the last ten years. I currently have three cats (Ollie, Nell, and Poppy). I took vet assisting classes when I was younger and also have experience working with larger farm animals. I currently work remote full-time from 7:00AM to 3:00PM, but I have the flexibility to bring my laptop with me if extended animal care is needed. I do also go to school part-time in Charlotte, Monday through Thursday. In my home, I have an unfenced backyard I can use for walking and I also have a large dog crate. Because I have cats, I do require that any dog(s) be friendly with cats. If doing an overnight stay at my house, it would also need to be on the weekend (Friday through Sunday) where I would be home all day. In a client’s home, I always follow whatever guidelines are put in place by the owner so the animal(s) can stay in their usual routine with as little disruption as possible.
About: I have a dog that I’ve taken care of for 6 years. I’ve also helped taking care of family and friends’ pets when they go out of town and need someone to look after them. I have experience taking care of cats as well but I’m not as familiar with cats as I am with dogs. Im usually free during the week in the mornings till late afternoon. My schedule is pretty flexible but please feel free to ask and we can work something out. I have a goldendoodle who’s 6 and he’s very friendly but can be misunderstood bc he’s a bigger dog. I’m open to taking care of any breed as long as I earn their trust and if there’s any specific needs please let me know so I can better help.
About: I am an experienced zookeeper that has taken care of all types of animals. I have cats, dogs and rabbits. Experienced with young, old and reactive dogs. Can take care of all domestic pets. I am a full time zoo animal supervisor that has Friday and Saturdays off to look after your pets. I am available for nightly visits during the week. Let’s talk and see what days are needed and I would love to make them work. If you are in the Asheboro area I have afternoon/ evening availability to drop in Sun-Thur. Preferably Thomasville area Friday/ Saturday but can make most anywhere work! Just reach out. I can take care of your pet in your home from walking, to feeding to grooming. I am very trustworthy and know animal behavior very well. Willing to work with reactive dogs!
“Dinira was amazing and was able to step in on super short notice. She was very responsive, coordinated with another person while I was out of the county and left report cards with multiple pictures and helpful details. I’m so appreciative!”
About: Hi! I’m Katie, a lady and lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. I can offer walks, hikes, head scritches, pats, kisses, car rides, a play day at the park, backyard let outs, or simple house hangs. I worked for a dog walking company in the past, and have years of experience fostering cats and dogs. At home, I own a cat named Juno, a dog named Buffy, and 2 chickens. I’m currently available 10-2pm M-F with some extra flexibility throughout the week/weekend when my kids aren’t in school or doing extra curricular activities. Just ask! If your animals are pet friendly, I have a great space for pups to exercise, sniff, and get their zoomies out, in our large fenced in backyard. I have a young dog, an indoor cat, and 2 chickens. I’m happy to spend time in your home visiting, playing, and caring for your fur babies and giving them the attention they need while you’re unavailable. I’m comfortable noticing the signals and space your animals might need while out on a walk.
About: I’ve taken care of, looked after, and had my own fur babies for over 15 years. Nothing makes me happier than getting to play, love, and just take in all the love a dog has to offer. My life would be incomplete if it weren’t for fur babies! I currently am not working at the moment so my schedule during the week is pretty open and flexible. I am here for all your pet needs. Right now I have a fenced in backyard where I care for my two fur babies. We have tons of toys as well as treats that we love sharing.
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, ferrets, fish, and reptiles. I will pay close attention to any instructions you leave to look after your loved ones. I will be 100% attentive to your pet and accessible to you 24/7 while you are away. I absolutely love animals. I am married and have one cat and one dog. I would love to look after your pets if it fits your needs. I am accessible 24/7 when looking after your pet(s) via phone, text, photos, and/or video calls. I have high self- standards of cleanliness and I will be respectful of your home. It will only be me in your home.
About: Hello, my name is Elizabeth I've always wanted to care for animals since I was 5yrs old. My first pet was a German shepherd/pitbull mix, he was my best friend. I'm a graduate from Ross medical education center in Huntsville,AL. I'm a certified vet assistant. I'm able to administer medication, change bandaging, and care for pets who are recovering from surgery. I have a passion for animals and making sure they're taken care of, is my number one priority. I will offer constant playtime and personal time for those that need it. I will also offer frequent potty breaks throughout the day, accompanied with water and shade. I'm not afraid of big dogs even if they're bigger than me. I love dogs of all sizes. I work at an emergency animal hospital in Greensboro. I work from 10pm to 8am Sunday-Thursday. I'm able to fit walks and home visits in between getting off work before having to clock back in later that night. Since I am a certified Vet Assistant and have extensive knowledge and experience in the vet med field, I can assure you your fur babies are safe with me.
About: Taking care of pets has been apart of my life for many years. I love them! I have been boarding puppies and adult dogs for family and neighbors. I have breeded dogs and have sold many healthy puppies. Pet care is a daily routine for me as I am a pet owner myself. Pet walking is a every day thing for me and my dog I have one on one care for the pets they are in the home with me on the couch or floor.The pet is put on a leash for potty breaks. If I am boarding a pet the pet sleeps in a cage inside my home.

About: I'm a country gal from a small town in Wisconsin where we raised sheep, horses, and goats on a 125 acre farm. We had Labrador Retrievers that loved their walks and daily swims, we had spoiled cats that would snuggle on the couch all day next to the fireplace. My first job after high school was working for a small animal Veterinarian. I'm experienced with administering vaccines, SQ fluids, oral antibiotics, etc. I have prior experience as a volunteer at the Humane Society and the Center for Birds of Prey. I currently share my home with a parrot, rabbit, 15 Silkie chickens, and two geese! My specialty is exotics, I have owned snakes, hedgehogs, lizards, and ferrets so NO pet is to strange, scaly, or smelly! I understand the need for routine, animals feeling safe and comfortable in their own home, and am familiar with pet "quirks". Rest assured, nothing will faze me and your pet will be in great hands! Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I am currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule. I'm up plenty early to care for my poultry, so I can accommodate almost any time-frame. I live on 40 acres, so I am familiar with "free-range" pets and ones that need specific, specialized care. I triple check door locks and make sure everyone is safe, safety is my utmost priority!
“Tiffany has been walking and visiting with my family’s Boston Terrier for several months now. She has consistently delivered top notch care! Tiffany is very conscientious about leaving our home and dog in great shape before she leaves. She has a genuine love for animals. Our dog always looks forward to seeing her!”

About: I am very comfortable around all types of animals and able to bond and keep newly met pets comfortable in my presence. We would be helping eachother so I can get to experience the love your pet gives for a while. I have a very flexible schedule. I just need an advanced notice to be able to plan properly. The sooner i can be contacted to make plans the better. I provide a fun and friendly handling with a firm approach with the pets. The owners love me no where NEAR as much as the pets!

About: I have loved and cared for animals since I was a kid! I have experience with a wide range of pets from a small lizard to a big Great Dane. I worked with all types of animals and know that they are all unique and lovable! I have experience in all kinds of pet care from in home stays to stop in feedings and walks to providing special care like giving medications. I am currently in a part time position so I have a very open schedule for frequent check ins, early mornings and multiple walks! I am also able to do longer overnight stays due to my wide availability. Since I have a lot of experience with different pets I’ll create an open and loving environment for your pet by meeting them where they are and allowing them to grow trust by respecting their space and providing them with the care and attention they are accustomed to!
About: My daughter and I grew up helping take care of dogs and have been around them for as long as we can remember. We’ve looked after our own dogs as well as those of friends and family. There has never been a year in our lives without a dog in it, and we truly can’t imagine life without one! I currently work full time as a 2nd grade teacher, but I’m available for boarding, doggie day care, walking, dropping in, or playing with your dog during the week and on the weekends. My 17 year old daughter will be assisting as she absolutely loves dogs too. Our house is in a neighborhood. We currently have one dog who is a morkipoo and is very playful and loves other dogs. We are able to crate your dog if needed.
About: I have been an avid animal lover my whole life and that passion has lead me to multiple careers relating to animal care. I've worked in retail, I've worked in shelters and rescues, and I've even done training and behavior modification. I just love to see that animals get the love and attention they deserve! If you ever wondered who animal professionals hire when they need a pet sitter: it's me! I don't mind working with fearful pets, taking joy in letting them build up trust first. I have a knack for getting animals to come out of their shell and I don't take it personally if they need a little extra time to warm up. I'm comfortable with administering medication, grooming and bathing needs, and I don't shy away from a pet that needs a little extra TLC. With enough lead time, I can make myself available for nearly any kind of care your pet needs. I am flexible with time and dates! Cats and dogs can thrive on routine, so I will do my best to stick to your care schedule! Show me how your pet likes to have things done! Of course, there will always be tons of cuddles and pets no matter what!

About: I've had pets growing up my entire life. I love animals and just enjoy being around them and giving them love! I've taken care of several pets for friends and family and just want to continue to do that for others when needed. I have my own business so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available day or night to take care of your furr babies 😊 My own animals are so friendly and loving and my home would be completely safe for ur furr babies but at this time I won't be able to board any pets at my house. This may change in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,370 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Welcome. 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 Welcome. 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 Welcome 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 Welcome. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
