“Ellen has been so helpful with Milo. Most of our bookings have been last minute and she has been very accommodating. She takes plenty of pictures and Milo is a very happy pup when I get home. She is our go to walker!”
“Brianna was a lifesaver! Stepped up last minute on a holiday and was amazing with my pups. She went above and beyond and treated all 4 of my animals with love and care and was extremely respectful of my home. I will be definitely booking her again and would recommend her to anyone.”
About: Growing up, I learned how to take care of pets with many different needs (a family dog with cancer that required oral medications multiple times a day, a blind senior dog that reached 19 years and needed daily IV drips and guidance to use the bathroom, administered insulin injections to a diabetic cat). I'm very comfortable with accommodating any needs your pet may have. I'm a mom to a golden retriever and an aunt to two German short-haired pointers that I absolutely love. I love taking dogs with me on walks and to run errands but I'm flexible depending on each dog's social skills. I'm an avid pet lover that will make sure your pet is getting all the love and attention it could want!
About: I have been around dogs since childhood and know how to treat them with respect. I love animals and will treat your beloved pet as if they were my own! I recently quit my job and am available most days for overnight sitting or walks! I keep my calendar up to date, but I am also flexible, so feel free to reach out with any scheduling concerns. I live in an apartment so unfortunately I can not offer boarding in my home. However, I am experienced in overnight pet sitting and have been a regular dog walker in college.
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Sophia! She helped me out last minute, was quick to respond, and treated my dog Tiko like her own. He came back happy, calm, and well cared for. Communication is great. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have experience pet sitting for the past 12 years, I have two dogs myself and experience in senior care and puppies, specifically dealing with potty training, sickness, and grooming. I love to be around animals of all different breeds and personalities as well. I’m here to help and to foster and a safe and caring environment for your pets! I work a part time job with a lot of time at home and I spend a lot of time outside. When taking care of your pet you can be sure of a lot of socialization and sun! While in my care, I do require some crate time specifically at night, I have two dogs at home, while they are very well tempered and socialized, they have a routine! Besides that, we have a big fenced in yard and safe, walkable neighborhood. Most of our neighbors do not have pets and inside the house is still relatively puppy safe so definitely a safe environment for more mature dogs. While on walks they stay on leash at all times and not close to roads either!
“Lauren was absolutely amazing, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. I booked her for a 30-minute walk every day around noon, and I told her I was very flexible with timing. She was always reliable and showed up when scheduled, but what really stood out to me was how much she genuinely cared about my puppy. Even though the walks were booked for 30 minutes, she constantly went above and beyond. Whether it was an extra minute, five minutes, or even ten, she never seemed rushed and truly spent quality time with my dog. After every walk, I didn’t just get one quick picture. I would get several adorable photos along with detailed updates about everything they did. She would let me know about their walk, any interactions they had, and even small thoughtful things like cleaning out his water bowl. You can tell Lauren is not just doing this as a job. She genuinely loves dogs and enjoys spending time with them. That kind of care, attention, and thoughtfulness is rare, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing my puppy was in such good hands. I’m so grateful for her and will absolutely book with her again!”
“Trevor has been incredibly caring and loving to my puppy Leia, hes always been great, communicative and cared for her as well as I do. Would recommend trevor to anyone!”
“Ella did a wonderful job walking and caring for our dogs. She was very communicative and on time and left pictures and notes about their walk. I felt very comfortable knowing my pups were in caring hands! I would not hesitate to use her services again.”
About: I have been a pet sitter on Wag for over a year now and I absolutely love it. I have pet sat for over 35 clients including walks and at home sits. I have several years of experience pet sitting for friends and family and am a current pet owner myself. I own two dogs, one of which is a puppy. I have experience caring for puppies and elderly dogs in my own home and pet sitting. I also have experience working with cats and have previously owned a kitty myself. I am a college student just looking to work with my favorite animals! I absolutely adore dogs and cats and want to spend every free minute I have with them. I usually do most of my sitting on the weekends and afternoons/evenings, basically anytime I’m not in class. I have a very high energy puppy so I have lots of experience with play time and getting wiggles out. I love to stay active and always enjoy a good walk as well. I am comfortable feeding, giving medicine, crating, and cuddling with of course. I also have worked with very timid dogs and understand the importance of slow introductions and treats to help dogs feel more comfortable.
About: I have been petsitting and dog walking my neighborhood pets for several years and had the privilege to work as a research technician who helped in husbandry at UNC Chapel Hills Division of Comparative Medicine canine unit. I love making new furry friends and gaining experience to help my pre-veterinary journey as a college student! I am available every day of the week starting June 30th seeing that i am home for the summer from college. I am available during the hours of 8am-8pm and am interested in house sitting. I have a fenced yard for my dog to keep them from getting out and my cat is an inside cat who stay in the upstairs bedrooms
“This was the 3rd (or 4th?) Time we've booked with Nicole. She's always easy to work with, timely, and send lots of pictures. She's always our first choice!”
“We had a great experience with Josh! Aside from being really accommodating with our schedule, Otto looks forward to seeing him when he arrives and I can tell he’s worn out from playing when they’re done. The time is a high-quality, impactful interaction for our new puppy.”
About: I have experience with cats and dogs of every personality, size, and age. I have been a Rover sitter for over three years now, booking services in Houston, Dallas, and Raleigh. I currently have two cats of my own, so I know how important it is to have a pet sitter that you can trust! I’ve grown up with animals and my first job was at an animal daycare / boarding facility, where I played with, bathed, and walked animals. My family always has Golden Retrievers or Newfoundlands, so I have no problem with big dogs! We also always have at least one cat in the house. I would be happy to care for your cats or dogs! I work remotely so I have plenty of time during the day and early afternoon for drop-ins. I have no problem with early/late visits, either —I’m here to work around your pet’s schedule! I am in a very central location to most parts of Raleigh. I always like to have a meet and greet before the booking to meet your pets and introduce myself. I have a lot of experience with various types of cat and dog personalities and am comfortable in all scenarios of pet care.
“Joan is very patient with my somewhat aggressive dog. She arrived on time everyday and was super sweet with Tiger. She really goes above and beyond to bond with Tiger. I am definitely booking with Joan in the future.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have helped my family dog-sit on occasion. More recently, I helped walk and take care of a friend's dog while their family was abroad for two months. Regarding care, one of my dogs suffers occasional seizures, so I am well versed in how to act during and after the episode. I am currently working a seasonal, part-time job for summer break. I have no set schedule yet, so my hours and days are not defined. However, over the next couple of weeks I hope to set a general schedule with the same days off each week. Either way, I have enough time on days off and after shifts to provide pet care. I care for pets, particularly dogs, by providing walks to get their energy out and keep them healthy. I like to find small hiking trails and walk those (if there are any around), or simply walk around the neighborhood.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in West Raleigh is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Raleigh
Peyton is great. I was very fortunate to come across him when I was visiting Charlotte for two weeks. He came to my hotel and walk my dog every day while I was at work. He was always on time and left me messages every day. I would definitely recommend him. He provided a perfect no stress service. Thank you, Peyton. Pluto will miss you.
Abigail has taken care of both my pups (over 50lbs each) with so much grace. I know how much two big dogs can be and she always takes such great care of them. I love seeing the photos she takes and she’s always quick to respond when I need to communicate with her.
Adreanna was great! She took excellent care of Tonto and was very easy to work with throughout the entire booking. I never had to reach out or worry about anything, and I always felt confident that Tonto was in good hands. For anyone with a senior dog, I highly recommend. I’m sure she’s great with all dogs as well. I would absolutely book with her again.
Yanke has been wonderful with our big anxious boy! He was a late Covid puppy and did not get much out of the house socializing. she has been great at handling him and he seems to really enjoy his walks with her! He does not like most people and is dog reactive. She has been able to handle him on walks no problem.

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 West Raleigh. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Raleigh. 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

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.
