Dog Walking Will-O-Dean Acres

“Al is a 5 star sitter . He did care for my dog. He communicates and answers in time all the messages. He comes in time to walk my dog. He sends a lot of pictures during the walk. I highly recommend to hire him.”

About: Even as a kid, I was the primary caregiver for my childhood dog, Zoey. I took responsibility for making sure she was fed and watered, taking her for long walks and playing with her in our backyard. I knew that when I grew up, I would adopt a dog as soon as I could. A few months before I was discharged from the Marine Corps, I reached out to my hometown's local animal shelter about Baron. Baron was a 2-year-old, Boxer/Pit mix and from the moment I saw his picture, I knew he was going to be my boy. I called the shelter regularly to see if he was still there and let them know the day I could pick him up. I drove from my base in California to my Mom's house in Florida, dropped my stuff off, and immediately went to the shelter to adopt Baron. For the first few months I took him everywhere I went. All my friends and family knew that if Dan was coming, so was Baron. A few years after adopting Baron, I shared pictures of him with a girl I was talking to, and she immediately wanted to meet him. I took him for a walk with her and, as they say, the rest is history, she’s my wife. She brought two cats to the relationship, Teyla and Cara, and I eventually adopted a third cat, Ahsoka, with her. I cared for Baron together for 10 years. In 2022, he was diagnosed with bone cancer in his jaw, and we decided to try surgery, chemo and radiation. My wife and I got another 3 years with him, when the vet had told us he had 6 months to live. In 2025, his cancer returned, and he passed away just a few months before I got married. I spread some of his ashes at our wedding ceremony at one of the purest lakes in New Zealand and his name is engraved on our wedding bands. Shortly after saying goodbye to Baron, my wife and I adopted our fourth cat, Leia. I like to say she is Baron reincarnated because she follows me everywhere and has taken his place begging for food at the dinner table. I love meeting new dogs and cats, and have never met a dog that doesn't like me (I think everyone knows that cats aren't always that easy to win over!). As the caregiver for your pet, I bring years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I am experienced with delivering oral and topical medications, and hand feeding. I am experienced with obedience training and basic commands, crate training, walking on a lead, different types of dog collars, and off leash e-collar use. I understand how to safely have dogs meet, and what signs to look for to signal aggression, discomfort, fear, or playfulness when around other dogs. I understand that pets have routines and schedules, and I will adjust my day to make sure your pet can keep their routine. I know what it's like to have another person care for my pets, and I will make sure to send photos and messages with updates to let you know your pet is safe and happy. As a stay-at-home trophy husband and cat dad, my day is flexible and I can ensure your pet's care and comfort is my top priority. I am currently working part time so I have a flexible schedule to acommodate your pet's routine. Your pet will get a considerable amount of attention and care while I'm with them. I have used Rover in the past for my own dog so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, whether it's reinforcing good behavior or just giving lots of care and love, your pet's well being is my top priority. I'm available when you need me. From checking in on your pets while you are on vacation, taking your dog for a nice stimulating walk, or staying the night with your pets, let me know what works best for you! I will care for your pet in your home so they feel safe and comfortable. I will always have your dog on a leash and check the immediate area for other people/animals before leaving the house. I will respect your home like it's my own house, and I will follow your pet's schedule and house rules.

“So happy we found Morgan—our Rhodesian ridgeback Zulu immediately warmed up to her. She’s fantastic with dogs and very knowledgeable about dog behavior, super responsive, great at communication, and a very friendly person! We’re excited for her to spend more time with Zulu in the future.”

About: While i love my fur babies, i have had a range of experience with all things such as reptiles, farm animals, fish, bunnies and even a spider or two! 🕷️🦎🐓🦆🐄🐎🐢🐠🐈🐕🐇🦜 I work full time 4 days a week but can always drop in before/after my shifts & of course anytime during my weekend! While sometimes my wife is away sitting, I’m at home with our babies. 🐾 I really go all out for my fur babies (spoiled rotten)🫢🤗 So you can expect me to take the best care of your fur babies & treat them as they are my own.🖤

“Professional and kind to our two elderly chihuahuas. She never rushed them and made sure they trusted her (which was right away) before their first walk. Would definitely recommend and book with her again!”

“Olivia was very friendly and Tango loved her. She was very punctual and communicative and I would definitely use her in the future !”

About: I have been an animal owner since I was a child. I’ve cared for cats and dogs regularly as well as other animals including hamsters, snakes, and children ;) I am not currently able to have an animal of my own, so I find joy in caring for others’ pets. My son enjoys playing and caring for the pets with me! We recently relocated to the Raleigh area from Michigan and are excited to meet! I work from home, and have a flexible schedule, so I can easily accommodate a daily walk and regular potty breaks. However, a crate is required for overnight stays. I have a fenced in dog park with plenty of space for running and playing and a nice neighborhood with sidewalks for long walks! :)

“Alissa was very attentive to our two labs. She shows up on time, is very pleasent to work with. She clearly loves dogs and our boys were excited tosee her arrive. We trusted Alissa with our home and dogs without hesitation.”

About: Hi! My name is Alex, and I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I've grown up with pets my entire life and have always had animals in my home, including dogs, cats, and even hamsters. Today, I'm the proud owner of a playful Maine Coon kitten and a sweet Miniature Schnauzer, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet because that's exactly what I'd want for my own. I'll treat your furry family member like they're part of my own family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you always know how they're doing. By profession I'm a registered nurse, and I'm doing Rover because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals. As a registered nurse, my schedule varies throughout the week, but I know my shifts well in advance and keep my Rover calendar updated. On my days off, I have plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and giving your pets the attention they deserve. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while working around your pet's normal routine Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I always follow each owner's instructions carefully, whether that's feeding schedules, medications, exercise, or favorite toys and routines. During walks, I'll keep dogs securely leashed and avoid unsafe situations, and during drop-in visits I'll make sure your pet has fresh water, food, attention, and plenty of affection. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: Dogs get lots of love with us! Fenced in back yard allows for lots of outdoor playtime! Great Communication with owners for updates! Dogs must be friendly with kids (older kids). I work from home so can provide as many potty breaks as needed! We have fenced in backyard. We have 3 kids that love playing with the dogs as well! (9, 11, 16) Fenced in back yard! Dog welcome inside and on the furniture. Always treated like one of our own! Lots of snuggle time and we have one dog they can play with!

“We had such a wonderful experience with her taking care of Rocky! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and made sure he was well taken care of throughout her time with him. I really appreciated the regular pictures and updates from their walks. This gave us peace of mind knowing Rocky was happy and in great hands. Her communication, care, and overall service were excellent. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitter. Rocky had a great time, and we will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️”

About: Every one thinks they have the best dog and none of them are wrong. Dog's can bring such joy to people's lives. So in return I treat them like people and make sure they get the proper exercise, food, and play time necessary. I've grown up with several dogs my whole life. I've owned a dog as small as a beagle to as big as retriever. I've also volunteered at the local shelter walking dogs, bringing them to the vet, and taking them to adoption events. The best therapist are the ones with fur and 4 legs. I do currently have lots of availability. I will do my best to accommodate you and fit a time in for your pet to be cared for. I currently live in an apartment, so I take my dog on daily walks and to the local dog parks frequently. I make sure my dog has as much exercise as possible.

“Thank you so much!!”

About: Animals are truly my biggest passion! Having both a dog and a cat at home, I treat every pet I sit for like family. I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors and friends for about five years now, which taught me how to keep pets happy and comfortable in their routines. Volunteering at the Wake County Animal Center gave me great experience reading different behaviors, and my professional childcare background ensures I am highly reliable and safe. I can't wait to give your pet all the love, long walks, or quiet snuggle time they need! I currently work as a nanny, but my summer schedule is wide open with tons of weeks off while the family travels, giving me full availability right now! I have so much time to step away and completely spoil your furry friends. I'm also super active and love hitting the gym, so getting outside for daily walks and hitting my step count is a huge priority for me. Walking your pup fits perfectly into my daily routine, and I’ll make sure they get all the exercise, fresh air, and attention they deserve! When caring for your pets in your home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and respect for your space. Because I am a professional nanny, keeping a tight eye on safety and sticking to precise schedules is second nature to me. I make sure to strictly follow your exact instructions for feeding, routines, and any medications so your pets feel secure and comfortable in their own environment. During walks, I am always highly alert to our surroundings, keeping dogs on a secure leash and completely avoiding interactions with unknown animals. At the end of every visit, I double-check that doors are locked, security systems are set, and your home is left exactly how you left it. You will get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing both your pet and your home are in great hands!

“Marissa is fantastic! She came over for a meet and greet at my request prior to the first walk. She then sent notes and pictures from her walk with my pups. She is very easy to communicate with. I will definitely use her again!”

“Katlyn was by far the best dog sitter I’ve ever booked! Her love and care for my pets was evident. It’s obviously she genuinely enjoys caring for animals. She was very communicative and sends plenty of pictures to help put your mind at ease. I will definitely try to re-book her in the future. She’s the best of the best”

“We love Emily! She walks my moms pup during the week. Emily is extremely kind and takes great care of Pippi! We would be lost without her.”

“Meghan was fantastic with my high energy friendly collie. She followed my requests and provided an update after the walk. Great to work with, communicative, and I felt confident she would care for my pup well. Highly recommend Meghan for your dog care needs! 😊”
