“Karollyne was so great with my two fur babies. She is reliable and with my busy schedule and last minute changes her afternoon schedule was always flexible with mine. She took such great care of my babies and anyone looking for a sitter will be lucky to have her.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pups of all sizes, ages, and types for 10 years. I’m committed to your doggo’s health and happiness! I’m happy to drop in for potty breaks, take walks (short or long), feed, or just hang out with your pup :) I work as a full-time nurse, which includes three 12-hour shifts a week. Otherwise, I’m available! I have a very flexible schedule on my days off for your needs! I currently have no pets of my own, yet miss having furbabies to love! I’m committed to loving your pup like they are my own :)
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Daniela has been absolutely wonderful with our dog Winston and a huge help to us! You could tell right away how much she cared - she always checked in to see what time frame worked best for us to grab him before his walks, spent time with him in the dog park to play fetch and let him run around with friends, and also walked him around the complex to ensure he got his exercise in. We loved receiving the photos after each outing. Winston came home happy and tired every time! We highly recommend using her if you live in the area and are looking for a reliable and loving dog walker.”
“Jaymie is a wonderful young lady. She is 100% reliable, on time and our Goldendoodle Emma loves her as does my husband as well as myself. She not only fulfils what was promised as a dog walker but goes beyond time wise of the walk and extras.”
“Ellen was amazing!! She helped me out taking care of my dog when I requested last minute. He came back as happy as could be and most importantly all tuckered out 😂 will definitely be booking a walk with her again”
“Olivia was a great walker and definitely showed love to my dog Keanu. She was great at communicating and flexible when needed. We will miss her and definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a dog walker.”
“Katherine and Clayton were absolutely amazing with my dog, Harper! She’s a rescue, and her training has definitely been a work in progress. They were so patient, kind, and understanding with her, taking the time to build her trust and make her feel comfortable. It didn’t take long for Harper to become their little fan, she absolutely loves them both! They truly went above and beyond to make both Harper and me feel comfortable and cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 5 stars across the board! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Nicole was great with our two pups. We were in town for the weekend and she came and took great care of them while we were away for an event one evening. She was Extremely professional and responsive. We would definitely use her again if we were in town.”
About: I have had experience owning dogs all my life, but I have also worked with and fostered shelter dogs over the past 12 years. I've spent a lot of time with larger dogs, but love being with any and all breeds! I live in a home with a fenced backyard and front yard, which makes playtime and potty breaks a breeze! Plus, I usually work from home and my office is less than 10 minutes away when I do go in for a few hours. I have a 6-year old pittie mix named Rosie who loves playing with other dogs, and now in her adult years, loves napping on the couch with them, too. In general, I work from home. Even on days when I go into the office, it's usually only for a few hours. That means that on most days, Rosie (and whatever other dog is here) get lots of time going between the backyard and the rest of the house, a walk or two, and maybe a trip to the dog park. My front and back yards are fenced, which makes playtime easy. I have large airline crate and smaller wire crate if visiting dogs prefer to be in there (or can't be trusted to be out and about) while I'm gone.
About: I grew up around animals and have a love of learning each pets personality and care needs. I have pet sit for many friends, neighbors, coworkers. I have experience ranging from cats and dogs to reptiles, amphibians and rabbits. I am currently working as a behavioral therapist and college student with flexibility in my schedule. I am home mornings and evenings with the occasional ability to accommodate a mid-day drop in. I enjoy walking, running, hiking and being outdoors. I can do stop by feed, and socialize pet care as well as in home care of your animal family members. I offer boarding for cats and any other caged animals. I am available to stay at your home or to come by for a period of time to do any care tasks and enrichment before returning home. I am available for walking dogs, cats and anything leash trained.
About: I’m a dependable, caring pet lover who treats every pet like they’re my own! I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, so my goal is to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to keep you in the loop with plenty of updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind! Pets of All Ages – Comfortable caring for puppies, kittens, adult pets, and seniors, and happy to adjust to each pet’s individual personality, energy level, and routine. Senior Pet Care – Experienced and comfortable caring for older pets who may need a little extra patience, assistance, or attention throughout the day. Insulin Injections – Experienced administering twice-daily insulin injections according to a pet’s prescribed schedule and care routine. Medication Management – Comfortable administering medications and keeping up with consistent dosing schedules and instructions. Communication & Updates – I know how much you want to know that your fur babies are doing well while you’re away! I provide regular updates, photos, and anything else that helps you feel connected and reassured. 🐾📸 Most importantly, I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 💕 I currently work a full-time hybrid schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility to accommodate my clients’ needs. My work-from-home days can be adjusted when needed, allowing me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and extra attention throughout the day. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works well for both you and your pet! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I want them to feel as comfortable and secure as possible while you’re away, so I make every effort to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I’m attentive to the little details—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and their usual habits—and I’ll make sure they receive the same love, patience, and care they would get at home.
“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.”
“I recently had a baby and was unable to walk my dog for a two week period. Given he is accustomed to several walks a day, this was really a big challenge. Brooke came 2x a day for two weeks straight rain/shine/cold didn't matter! She was wonderful and Tucker fell in love with her. She was always on time and did the full 30+. HUGE HELP! Would use again for sure!! Thank you!”
“Anna is phenomenal! She’s so patient and attentive to Kai who takes longer to warm up to new friends. I’m excited to see them grow closer and Kai’s excited for all the extra treats!”
About: Hi! I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and look forward to treating your four-legged family members like my own. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and feline friends. I have experience administering insulin shots and other medications. I look forward to meeting your four-legged family members! By profession, I do lights for concerts! But when I’m not on the road I love to spend time with animals. I am able to easily adapt to any schedule as I pet sit on my downtime from work. I care for every pet with love and attention to their individual needs. I follow their usual routines for feeding, playtime, walks, medication if needed, and plenty of affection. I also make sure their space stays clean, safe, and comfortable so they feel happy and cared for.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience! Jasmine has been incredibly patient and kind with my shy dogs, allowing them to warm up to her at their own pace. It has been so sweet to watch them build a bond with her, and I truly appreciate how caring and gentle she is with them. Highly recommend!
Katherine and Clayton were absolutely amazing with my dog, Harper! She’s a rescue, and her training has definitely been a work in progress. They were so patient, kind, and understanding with her, taking the time to build her trust and make her feel comfortable. It didn’t take long for Harper to become their little fan, she absolutely loves them both! They truly went above and beyond to make both Harper and me feel comfortable and cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 5 stars across the board! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!
Lauren is one of the best walkers that I’ve used and I’ve had many. Her communication with photos, summaries and texts are exceptional! I know my dog Keanu loves when she walks him and she shows him so much attention and care. I’m so sad that we are moving and not able to use her. I recommend her without hesitation! She’s the best! We will miss you:(
Stacie was absolutely amazing. My pup can be a handful to say the least and I never had a worry when she was with Stacie. Additionally I run on chaos and when an issue would pop up Stacie was quick to adapt. I will definitely be reaching out to Stacie in the future!
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! 🐾❤️

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 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
