About: My name is Grace and I am 25 years old. I graduated N.C. State University, majoring in Psychology and Biology. I am currently finishing grad school for Occupational Therapy. I have always loved all animals growing up and have been pet sitting since around 10 years old. I have done various sorts of petsitting from weeks of overnight stays to just swinging by the house to play with the dogs and take them out/feed them. I am super flexible and will work with your needs! I have many years of babysitting under my belt too, as I am very responsible and will never let you down. I am currently am studying for my boards so I have plenty of flexibility around times, days, etc. so just let me know what you need and I will accommodate! I also volunteer at the animal shelter, so I have a lot of experience with different kind of dogs. Your pups will be loved, cared for and pampered when I watch them. I am reliable and just have a genuine love for animals, especially dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your animals :) I currently am studying for my exam in October so I am home most of the day and have plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the week and weekends. My two dogs listed on my profile don’t live with me (they live with my parents), so I have no pets at home. I love to spend time with all pups and it’s very important to me that your dogs get the care that you would get from yourselves! I treat all dogs as my own and love to spoil them.

About: I raised my Shih Tzu from 3 months up until I lost him to kidney disease on 9/11/2024. I walked him on a regular basis except rainy days (he hated getting wet lol), he was potty trained and free to roam the house while I was not home. Everyone ( family, friends, neighbors) knew how much I loved and cared for him. When he was in his last days from kidney failure, I stayed by his side until the end. I kept his routine the same. I pushed him in his stroller when he could not walk anymore. Administered him an IV daily to keep him hydrated when he barely ate and drank. I laid with him and held him until he let me know it was time for him to go to that Rainbow Bridge. As a newly retired person, I have plenty of time to give your furry friend(s) all the love, walks, and attention they need and deserve. Whether in my home or a clients, I provide a comfortable environment with meals, walks, playtime and companionship. I follow their routines as instructed to keep them happy and comfortable.

About: I’ve had pets of all shapes and sizes all my life and have been heavily relied on by friends and family for their pets care. I have experience in all stages of life for pets including senior care and medication management. I had a Golden Retriever for 18 years! He had a lot of health problems including a lot of ear surgeries, skin allergies etc. I never gave up on him or any animal! I’m dedicated to providing the best care for animals as I do at the hospital with my patients as a Labor nurse. I’m a Labor nurse and I currently work 3 days a week from 7 am to 7 pm. These days tend to fluctuate but I have 4 days off. This encouraged me to find something I love to do on my free time. I’m flexible as long as the pets are happy and well cared for. I just want them to be okay and the client to be satisfied with the quality of care. My pets are probably more spoiled than most and very high maintenance.

About: Hi! I have 4 years of hands-on pet care experience, working with all sorts of dogs from new puppies to scared rescues who I fostered. Some of the dogs I’ve fostered struggled with separation anxiety and fear-based aggression. Caring for these dogs and helping them find their forever homes gave me valuable insight on how to slowly build trust, the importance of routine, and most importantly showing them that they are safe! Caring for a wide range of dogs and learning I started basic training with my puppy, Benjamin, and foster dogs while in my care. I loved learning along side them and gained knowledge that can help keep your pup safe and happy! I focus on positive reinforcement training, and depending on the pup, will include treats for those who are extra food motivated! I have worked on: leash skills, handling, and both basic and semi-advanced commands. Prior to all bookings, a meet and greet must take place to ensure a good fit for both parties! Service descriptions listed below: **BOARDING** I provide a calm, loving home where pups can relax, play, and feel safe. I work from home 5 days per week, which means plenty of companionship, potty breaks, and enrichment throughout the day. I am typically gone at most 4-5 hours at a time. I also live with my partner, Denard, who will occasionally assist with potty breaks for your dog if I need to be out of the house for an extended period 8+ hours, or I’m the case of emergencies. ** HOUSE-SITTING ** When providing house-sitting, I will be staying overnight in your home and will be following your pups schedule to maintain as much consistency in their routine as possible. The rate listed on my profile for house-sitting care includes: Care in home from 7pm - 7am with a mid-morning and mid-afternoon drop-in. If your pet needs constant care (your dog cannot be left alone for more than 2 hours at a time, OR 2 hours total over the course of the day), the rate is $125/day. All cameras in the home must be disclosed at the meet and greet. **DROP-INS** Drop-in visits are typically 30 or 60 minutes, and include food and fresh fresh water, potty breaks, lots of love and attention, indoor/outdoor playtime, and any medication needed. **WALKS** Walks can be 30 or 60 minutes, and include a walk in your neighborhood, fresh water provided, potty breaks, and love and attention! My home is in a walkable area with no elevators and easy access to an off-leash dog park. There’s plenty of space for your pup to feel comfortable, plus a well-socialized golden retriever who loves having a playmate. I keep a clean environment with clear, consistent boundaries inside and on leash, ensuring your pup gets structure, love, and attention that meets their unique needs—whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between. When caring for your pup in your home, I prioritize keeping things consistent and comfortable. I take the time to understand your routines, rules, and preferences so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Every household—and every dog—is different, and I’m here to support your style of care. Whether that means sticking to a specific walking schedule, reinforcing house rules, or maintaining feeding rituals, I’ll follow your lead to ensure your pup feels safe, secure, and right at home.

About: I’ve taken care of all types and breeds of animals since I was 10. Most pets feel my energy and are immediately comfortable with me. I get up first thing in the morning and feed the animals, scoop litter boxes and let them out before I even feed myself. Then I go to work for anywhere from 3 to 6 hours. When I return home, dogs go outside for potty breaks, and cats get fed. Once the dogs come back in, they get fed. Depending on their needs and age, I give pretty regular potty breaks. And then a final potty break before bed. Petsitting helps complement my regular day job. I have a fenced in backyard for dogs to roam around, run and play, and to go to the bathroom. I have a 71 inch gate to my living room to separate large dogs from cats or other animals if needed. I also have multiple baby gates to separate out areas if animals don’t do well with other animals or need some time to adjust.

About: Hi, I’m Ellie! Growing up in North Carolina gave me a lifelong love for animals, and I’ve spent almost 10 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful pups to seniors needing extra care. What sets me apart is my focus on peace of mind and clear communication. I love walking, running, playing, cuddling and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m also inclusive and compassionate, non-ableist, and always respectful of boundaries. For me, treating both pets and people with kindness is what makes this work so rewarding. I CAN ONLY DO HOUSE SITTING SERVICES FROM 6AM-6PM. IF NEEDED LATER/EARLIER I MUST STAY OVERNIGHT! My eyesight is bad and I cannot drive in the dark. Caring for animals has always been a central comfort in my life. Working with pets brings me joy, structure, and a sense of purpose, which is why I’ve chosen to pursue pet care full-time through Rover. • My schedule is very flexible! Allowing me to be available for walks, drop-ins, or extended care as needed if discussed! • As an autistic adult, I value clear communication and comfort in my routine, and I do my best to create the same sense of calm and consistency for the pets I care for. I want to be fully transparent: while very rare, there may be times I need to cancel a booking due to personal mental health needs or if a situation feels unsafe. In those cases, Rover's cancellation policy will ensure you're refunded appropriately. Furthermore I’m working to build strong, lasting friendships your fur-babies and you! I truly appreciate your patience and understanding as my client, thank you for considering hiring me despite my struggles. I bring compassion, reliability, and a deep love for animals fit for every client. If you’re looking for someone kind, attentive, and flexible I’d love the chance to work with you and your pups! How I help being the best care to my clients is by build trust, boundaries, strong communication, and familiarity with each person/pet when accepting new clients into my books! I'm always excited to work through challenges, try new things, and learn new things.

About: I’m new to Rover, but not new to pet care. I’ve cared for many pets over the years and have additional reviews and testimonials from other platforms that I’m always happy to share so you can feel fully confident leaving your pet in my care. I love knowing pet owners can truly relax while they’re away, feeling confident their fur baby is safe, cared for, and genuinely loved. I provide daily updates and photos so you can stay connected and see exactly how they’re doing. I enjoy caring for pets of all kinds, from playful puppies and senior dogs to shy cats and curious little explorers. I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and meet them where they are. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, snuggles, feeding routines, litter care, and giving medication. I’m especially patient with shy or slow to warm up pets, and I make sure high energy pets get the activity and stimulation they need. I keep routines consistent and treat your home with the same care and respect, so you can fully relax knowing everything is in attentive, loving hands. I am pretty flexible both in my daily and weekly schedule and willing to work with you to accommodate your needs the best i can (: I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routines as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications so your pets feel secure and well cared for. I spend quality time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, or just giving them extra love and company. I also make sure your home feels cared for while you are away. That means keeping things tidy, bringing in mail or packages if needed, watering plants, and always leaving everything just as I found it. I like to send photo updates so you can see how your pets are doing and feel reassured while you are gone.

About: Are you planning a trip? I would be delighted to care for your beloved pet during your absence. I offer boarding services for animals at my residence and can also provide check in and walks at your home. Recognizing that some animals, particularly cats, may be more at ease in their familiar environment, I am accommodating to such preferences. In addition to my boarding services, I am a Registered Veterinary Technician employed part-time in Charlotte. My professional experience includes working with animals of various sizes, behaviors, and ages, including senior animals. Having rescued a senior bulldog myself, I have a special fondness for caring for elderly animals. I understand the importance of maintaining a stable routine for pets, especially indoor outdoor cats. While I have two cats of my own, they are accustomed to the presence of other animals. I strive to minimize disruptions to their lives and ensure a smooth integration with visiting pets. My approach is characterized by patience, particularly with timid dogs, and I find that animals tend to quickly warm up to me. To ensure a harmless experience for both your pet and myself, I propose a preliminary meet and greet session. This allows us to access compatibility and ensures your pet's comfort in my home or yours. For animals under my care, they typically enjoy free roam of my house and access to the enclosed backyard. I maintain a secure and fenced environment to guarantee their safety and well-being. If you have any specific preferences or concerns, I am open to discussing and accommodating them to provide the best possible care for your cherished companion. Looking to get some fun, loving animals in the house. Look forward to hearing from you! 😺🐶 I work part-time as a veterinary technician here in Charlotte and also dedicate part of my spare time caring for animals. Additionally, I am a pet owner myself. My residence is equipped with a fenced yard and a screened in porch connected to the back door, providing a secure area for animals to move freely. Pets staying in my home enjoy the privilege of constant companionship, as I work only part time. I Consistently communicate with owners, providing advance notice if there are periods when I won't be at home and specifying the duration of such instances. Furthermore, I have installed cameras in every room of my house to ensure continuous monitoring and maintain transparency regarding or pets well-being. When providing in-home care, I am flexible in accommodating to minimize destructions to your pet's routine. I am committed to maintaining a permanence and comfortable environment for your pet during my visits. If you have any specific preferences or requirements for your pet's care, please feel free to share them, And I will ensure they are met with the utmost professionalism and care.

Natalie was fantastic! She helped me out with a last-minute sitting request and was even able to take my pups to the dog park that I usually go to with them. Despite the short notice, she still made time to do a meet-and-greet in advance so she could be familiar with my pups and take note of all the particulars regarding their care. She was on time, gave updates with pictures, and did everything as I requested. The whole process was so seamless, and it was such a relief to know my fur babies were in good hands while I was away. Thank you Natalie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Wildwoods is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per walk.

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 Wildwoods. 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.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Wildwoods 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.

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 .

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.
