About: I’ve pet sat my friends animals, and they’ve had so many! Senior dogs that have accidents and have behavioral issues. Exotic pets, of many kids. Every morning, I fill the cat and water bowl in my room, weekly I clean the bowls. For my dogs, whenever my parents don’t feed them cause they are out, I feed them and fill their water. I brush their coats, and try to give them baths every few weeks or so! However the pet parents would like, but I care for what is best for their health. I understand each pet is different and needs different things. I can bathe the animals depending on behavior, my right leg doesn't haven't as much feeling since surgery and cant handle a lot of big pressure.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have experience caring for both big dogs, small dogs, and cats. Back home in Tennessee, I have 2 Yorkies and a Goldendoodle, and I’ve also helped neighbors, friends, and family care for their pets over the years. I’m patient, dependable, and love making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work around your pet’s specific needs and routine. I typically work mornings during the week and am usually home by mid afternoon, but I can adjust my schedule as needed for walks, potty breaks, feedings, playtime, and medication schedules. I make it a priority to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and companionship so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I always do my best to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while in my care. I pay close attention to each pet’s normal routine, energy level, feeding schedule, and any special instructions so they can stay as stress free as possible. I’m experienced with walks, potty breaks, playtime, crating if needed, and giving pets space when they need it. I also make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog owner who would love to care for your pup while you’re away. I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own: an 18-month-old purebred German Shepherd and a 3-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix. They’ve given me plenty of hands-on experience with energetic, strong, playful, and sometimes stubborn dogs! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog needs a long walk, some extra playtime, medication, meals, bathroom breaks, or simply a little companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, and I’ll do my best to keep them comfortable and stick to their normal schedule. One of the biggest advantages I offer is that I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m able to spend substantial time with your dog throughout the day and can accommodate overnight stays when needed. Your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches of time, and I’m happy to provide the attention and companionship they’re used to. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I’ll treat both with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your dog and give them a safe, happy, and comfortable experience while you’re away! I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take dogs for walks, give them plenty of playtime and attention, and keep up with their regular feeding and bathroom schedules. I’m also available for longer stays and overnight care when needed. Since I’m home throughout the day, your pup can have plenty of companionship rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I’m happy to work around each dog’s individual routine and needs. I currently do not offer boarding in my home because I have two dogs of my own. However, I’m happy to provide pet sitting in your home, where your dog can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and routine. When caring for a pet, safety and trust are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions before their stay. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and care while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments over the past decade. My experience ranges from the two extra small, now senior terriers in my family home to my two young, giant German Shepherds, who weigh a combined 200 pounds. I understand the importance of patience, adaptability, and understanding each dog's individual needs. I'm an empathetic and attentive caregiver who prioritizes safety, trust, and authentic connections with every dog in my care. I want every dog to feel comfortable, secure, and loved. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I make time to provide attentive, dependable care. I'm happy to work with your babies established schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially those who experience separation anxiety or feel nervous around new people. I'll communicate with you about scheduling and your pet's needs to ensure they receive thoughtful, reliable care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets. As the owner of two large German Shepherds, I understand the importance of secure handling, awareness, and respecting each dog's individual temperament. I take time to help animals feel comfortable with me and follow their owners' instructions closely. I respect your home, maintain a clean and calm environment, and never assume two pets have the same needs. I'm happy to follow feeding instructions, medication routines as directed, leash and crate preferences, and any other safety precautions you provide. Your fur babies comfort and well being will always come first.

About: Most of my experience is with dogs of friends or co-workers. I generally keep their dogs at their place where they are most comfortable and take them out frequently for walks/runs or whatever they'd like to do. So long as the dog is house trained and not on the "forbidden breed list" at the apartments I stay, they are welcome to my home too. I've sat a Pointer/Dalmation mix, Maltese mix, Shepherd mix, Chow Chow, Boxer, Cane Corso, and 2 Weimaraners in the past. My fulltime job is a nurse, and I only work 36 hours a week. I don't really consider pet sitting or walking a job because I love dogs so much. Just looking to make some extra income and maybe start my own business someday. I have a laid back personality and dogs tend to take to me immediately or at least stay true to their breeds. Chow Chow was my brother-in-law's dog who barked at me a good 3-4 times before she knew I wasn't a total stranger. Bothered me none.

About: I've had a dog in my life for the past 17 years and have loved every second of it. Dogs truly are god's gift to man, and I try to do everything in my power to allow them to have the most engaging and enjoyable experiences possible. For the past year and a half, my family has been fostering dogs until they are adopted. Because of this, I have experience watching over and entertaining all kinds of different breeds of dogs with different attitudes and levels of energy, usually multiple dogs at once. With the services I offer (house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking) I will make sure each dog gets individual attention, proper care, and of course loads of affection. I enjoy playing with dogs, cuddling with dogs, wrestling with dogs, playing fetch with dogs, taking them to dog parks, and anything else they could possibly desire. When taking care of your dog, you can be confident that your dog will be in a loving and fun-filled environment. I am currently working full time as a graduate student so my schedule is skewed toward weekend booking starting Friday afternoon/evening through Sunday evening. That being said, I am able to make exceptions depending on the specific situation, so please feel free to reach out if you are at all interested! I'm only able to offer pet car in the client's home at this time. However, I strive to ensure pets are as comfortable at home with me as they are with their owners, and try to re-create the home schedule that they are used to with their owner, including meal times, walks and bathroom break, and cuddle and play time. I make sure to keep owners in the loop with pictures/videos and 1-2 updates per day. Additionally, I strive to leave the home as clean and tidy as when I arrived, so the owner wouldn't even know I was there.

“Sky does a wonderful job walking my pups. They’re always happy to see her and she can cover quite a bit of ground in just the 30minutes! I love when I come home and they’re still a bit tired and aren’t begging to get out of their crates. It certainly brings me peace of mind as I’m at work. She communicates well, documents their potty/water breaks, and sends a few photos further ensuring they’re in good hands.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and I genuinely love caring for them. I grew up taking care of farm animals and mostly took care of chickens and stray cats in my area, so I’m very comfortable with different types of animals and personalities. I’ve also have pets of my own, including my cat Onion, who I’ve raised since birth, and a husky named Gunner that I adopted from a shelter. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family with their pets, whether that’s walking, feeding, or just spending time with them so they feel comfortable and not alone. I’m very patient and attentive, and I naturally adjust to each pet’s energy! My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away! I am currently a student, Army ROTC cadet, and athlete at North Carolina Central University. I am usually up really early in the morning for physical training at around 5-7am. I would love to start your animals day off with a morning walk or play session! I have a few classes M-TH and can be available depending on the time. However, I’m free all day on Fridays plus weekends. Keeping your pet safe and comfortable are my top priorities. I will not be caring for pets in my home because I am in a dorm for school, but in a clients home I always follow care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and in a clean environment at all times. I’m very observant to behavior and mood changes and will communicate regularly.

About: I have grown up with dogs and have been blessed by being able to love on my friend’s dogs through my college years. I have worked with puppies all the way to senior dogs! I would love a walking buddy :) I currently work three twelve hour shifts a week, so the four days I’m off, I can spend with your pup! I love to go on walks around the neighborhood, so your pup can come along with me! I don’t have a yard, but live in a large neighborhood with lots of sidewalks for walks! There are also lots of parks near me, so we will be able to run around!

About: Hi there! I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have a 6 year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, so I’m no stranger to high energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation. Through caring for my own dog and helping friends and family with theirs over the years, I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks and feeding routines to enrichment, playtime, and providing extra patience for anxious or reactive pups. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. One of the perks of working freelance is having a flexible schedule! That means I can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and last-minute requests. I love spending time with animals, so getting to care for pets throughout my week is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I’ve been trusted by friends and mutual friends to care for both their homes and pets over the years, so I understand how important that trust is and don’t take it lightly. I treat every home with respect, provide regular updates, and strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.

I follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I respect each cat’s unique personality and needs, whether they enjoy cuddles and play or prefer a little space. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their furry friends are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Willardville is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,530 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Willardville. 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 Willardville. 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 Willardville 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.

All bookings are backed by the , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Willardville. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
