Jacob helped us out in a pinch when we moved and we couldn’t be more grateful for his hard work. He cares so much about Penny and leaves photos and walk recaps. Hw is consistent and Penny looks forward to his walks. He was understanding and fair when we had two errors as owners (address not updated and key not left under mat.). Highly recommend!

About: I have taken care of friends, neighbors and family dogs for around 2 years with having 2 of my own! I hope to increase my experience for the future I’m currently working part-time which leaves me with a lot of down time, I would love to fill that time with taking care of your pups! Boarding would be at your house I don’t do my home. I do not have a yard but I make sure to take my dogs out at least 3-4 times a day, my neighborhood is fairly quite and gentle with lots of places to walk.

About: I have extensive experience working with animals, including working closely with veterinarians, fostering adoptable dogs, providing pet care for family and friends, and having many different kinds of furry family members over the years. Let my experience give you peace of mind while you’re away—your fur babies are in good hands. When you book me for pet sitting, your furry family member is absolutely the priority. Do they like to be active? Then that’s what we’re doing. Are they lazy? I can snuggle with the best of them. Do they need to go out often? Got it. Two walks a day? Done. Whatever it is, you can count on me to provide the best care for your best bud. My pet sitting (and boarding) spots have gone quickly so far, so if my availability matches your needs, send me a message and we can set up an initial meeting so you and your loved ones can meet me and we can all make sure I’m the right fit. While caring for your pets in your home, I can also water your plants, bring any packages inside, put trash bins at the curb if it’s trash day, etc. Just let me know what you need and I’ll let you know if I can help with it. I apply the same level of care to boarding. My fees are a little lower since I don’t have to travel to your pet, but in my home, your pet’s still my #1 priority. I provide the same attention I’d give them in your home if not more, because I know my environment isn’t the one they’re used to. Whether your furry fam needs a fun walk, a cozy place to stay, or loving care while you're away, I'll treat them with the same patience, kindness, and attention I'd give my own. Regardless if your pup is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or a senior who enjoys a slower pace, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. You can count on me for reliable communication, photo updates, and plenty of cuddles, playtime, and exercise. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet has a great experience. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet and become someone you can trust whenever you need dependable, compassionate care. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week. I do my best to work around your pet's routine to help them feel comfortable and keep their day as normal as possible. Whether you need regular care or last-minute help, I'll communicate promptly and do everything I can to meet your needs. When visiting your home, I leave no trace other than a happy pet. At my house, I have a fenced in yard, pool, dog door I can open or close if your pet isn’t good with those, treats, toys, and comfy spots to rest. The dog I had for 15 years (who recently passed) would absolutely vouch for these little sunny spots that show up in different parts of my house across the day. Regardless of location, I will stick to your pet’s schedule and make sure their needs are met.

About: I’ve helped take care of my family dogs for many years. We’ve had dogs my whole life, and currently I’m helping care for our six month old puppy. So, I’ve had experience walking dogs, playing, feeding, taking out for potty breaks, naps, and many more. I’m currently on summer break, so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets! I’m happy to come anytime after 8:00am, and before 10:00 pm. I prefer not to work too late or overnight because I’m just not comfortable with it or driving when it’s really dark. I can’t care for dogs in my home because we currently have a puppy who is only sometimes ok with other dogs, and I live with my parents who won’t want other dogs around. But I’m happy to come over and care for them at your home. I’m comfortable with taking them out in the yard or walking them. And I can also crate them if need be. I’m comfortable with all dog breeds and sizes, unless they are aggressive.

About: As a work-from-home professional, I can keep your fur baby company all day long, and check in multiple times a day. Does your energetic herding dog need twice-daily walks or visits to the dog park? No problem -- they're just like the Australian Shepherd I grew up with and the Rough Collie I petsit regularly. I am also an ardent cat lover with experience caring for my aging childhood cat (age 20+), as well as a skittish rescue with seasonal allergies. If you have a senior cat who needs extra care or shy kitten who needs daily medication, I'm the petsitter for you. I have an extremely flexible schedule and can accomodate boarding every day of the week. I'm also available for daycare across Raleigh, although I may have more limited availability on Wednesday and Thursday nights, as well as Sunday afternoons and evenings. Feel free to ask about my schedule! I live in a townhouse with a small, fenced-in patio and my one cat. She is typically kept in a separate part of the house during boarding, so I can accommodate animals who are reactive to cats. The yard is great for smaller dogs who enjoy being outside, but I can also care for larger animals who need lots of exercise!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars! Absolutely incredible sitter, I could tell that she treated my babies like her own. I cannot recommend Brooklynn enough! She took care of my two precious baby girls this past week, and she was an absolute lifesaver. From the very beginning, she proved to be super flexible, communicative, and punctual. She provided amazing care for my girls the entire week, ensuring all their routines were followed perfectly. The daily pictures and updates she sent gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It is so clear how much she truly cares about animals.I will definitely be returning to her for future pet sitting and dog walking needs! I highly believe she provides true 5-star service. Thank you, Brooklynn!!❤️

About: One of my most meaningful experiences with dogs was caring for a friend's Maltese puppy for several months. I also have experiencr caring for a friend's medium-sized Jindo for three weeks. Although these two dogs had very different personalities, I quickly earned their trust and built strong bonds with them. I truly enjoyed spending time with each of them, and those experiences inspired me to meet and care for more dogs through pet sitting before eventually adopting my own. Please let me know if your pet has any specific needs or preferences. I'm easygoing, adaptable, and committed to providing the best care possible. I will respect your home, your rules, and most importantly, your dog. 😊 I look forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐾 I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I'll make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship while following your pet's routine and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐾 I follow each pet's routine and care instructions closely to help them feel safe and comfortable. I provide a safe and comfortable environment that is tailored to each dog's personality and energy level.

This was my first time using Makayla, and Rover, and I was not disappointed. My dog George can be a special case and sometimes takes time to warm up to certain people but he loved Makayla at first sight! She was very detailed, thorough, listened and followed my notes regarding George’s care and had great communication and sent plenty of photos and details about his day. After a day my anxiety of leaving him with a stranger was eased and I was able to enjoy my vacation because I knew I left him In great hands. I will definitely be using her next time and am so grateful we found someone we could trust to love on my baby as we would have.

I had a wonderful experience using Jennifer as a dog walker for my dog, Remi. This was my first time using a dog-walking service, and she provided a lot of peace of mind while I was away for a few days. Remi really values the comfort and safety of being at home, so it meant a lot that he was able to stay in his familiar environment and still be well-cared for. Jennifer shared meaningful updates & photos throughout her visits and kept me informed every step of the way. She was also very courteous even bringing in a package for me while I was gone. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Remi was happy and comfortable. I will absolutely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Will-O-Dean Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Will-O-Dean Acres on Rover is $22.2 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 .

As of August 2026, there are 5,016 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Will-O-Dean Acres. 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 your Will-O-Dean Acres. 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 Will-O-Dean Acres.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Will-O-Dean Acres. 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.
