“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.”
“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!”
“John is great! You can tell right away he really loves dogs. He often walks Pearl a few minutes extra because “it’s such a nice day.” He is always on time and sends pictures and videos during the walk with Pearl. I highly recommend him!”
“Alexandra looked after my dog and cat while I was away on a work trip. She was always quick with replies and attentive to my dog’s needs while walking her in the hot weather! She was flexible with scheduling the initial meet and greet, pet visits, and took good care of my pets! Will hope to use her services again when needed in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and have always been the person friends and family trust with their pets. I’m also a dog mom to two pups of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for them. I have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities, including puppies and dogs who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic training reinforcement, medications, and lots of attention and cuddles. I’ll always treat your dog like they’re one of my own and make sure you get plenty of updates while they’re with me. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be home throughout the day, so I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of attention. I already plan my days around my own two dogs, so adding another pup into the mix is easy and something I genuinely enjoy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have two friendly dogs of my own and understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m happy to follow whatever schedule and rules your dog is used to, including feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, or giving them their own space when needed. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of pictures and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pup is safe, happy, and getting lots of love.
“Brittany walked our two big chocolate labs. She was wonderful. Great communication, took pics, and best of all, appeared to really enjoy them! Couldn’t have asked more of my dog walker.”
“Ashleigh took my Allie on a pretty good walk which is a great job considering she often doesn’t care too much for walks! She fed her as asked and Allie seemed content when I got home. I will certainly be asking Ashleigh for assistance ce in the future!”
“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!”
“Rosemary is an amazing walker! She always stays the full time and she walks my dog really far. I really appreciate her and she sends photos and videos. My dog and cats love her! Thank you Rosemary!”
“Will definitely be reaching out to Yanke again in the future! My work has me traveling last minute and she was immediately responsive. Great communicator and the dogs loved her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Raleigh
Kiyah was so lovely to work with. She's so caring and helpful, she made life so much easier. I knew my pup was well cared for with her. And how much she cared about him came through in every update and communication from her. He's an old dog who is set in his ways and I know that she made having to deal with change so much easier for him. She is flexible and so helpful.
Katie has been the best dog walker for our dog, Otis! She is reliable, friendly and trustworthy. He is always excited to see her and comes back from his walks happy and significantly calmer. Our toddler loves her too 😊. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog walking or sitting!
Kira was absolutely wonderful with Max! She was very kind, reliable, and attentive, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands while we were away. Max is a high-energy dog, and Kira handled him with patience and care. She kept us updated and made the whole experience stress-free. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about animals. I would definitely recommend Kira to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and I would happily book her again in the future! 🐾❤️
Alyssa was amazing!! My dog has been wary at first around other sitters but he had no nerves with Alyssa whatsoever. Booked last minute with her and she was able to come and give my dog all the attention and care he needed! Will be booking with Alyssa again for sure.
Amber is the best! She was an absolute lifesaver during post-surgery recovery in need of multiple visits a day for walks and bathroom breaks. She couldn’t have been kinder, was always right on time, and so accommodating with my schedule. I am so grateful for the wonderful care she provided Fionn!
Beverly really goes above and beyond- I am SO thankful we found her to take care of Timpa. Beverly took Timpa out for a walk and our lock had technical issues, she was beyond patient and trouble shooted the issue and made sure she could get inside to take care of our baby, all while being extremely communicate and determined. She took Timpa on a lovely walk and provided us with amazing feedback and lots of pics- don’t know what we would do without her, she is the best!!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in West Raleigh on Rover is $19.26 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 .

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.
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 West Raleigh.

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 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
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.
