“Millie did such a great job walking my rescue silver lab, Belle. She took the time to get to know Belle during the meet and greet and asked really good questions. When walking Belle, she arrived on time, communicated well, and was able to redirect Belle, who often struggles to stay calm when other dogs are nearby. I highly recommend her and willing be using her services again!”
About: I have had a furry friend in my life in some form or another since I was very young. I have experience with both more reactive and friendly breeds and have no preference on the kinds I work with. I use patience and understanding to make them feel safe. I worked professionally as a dog walker and pet sitter for two years to multiple dogs and can bring love and affection to any animals in my care. I am responsible, punctual and a great communicator and can be an asset in caring for your dog or other animals while you are away or on a regular basis for walks. I work 4 nights a week from 3pm-11pm downtown. I am not opposed to early morning visits or late nights visits if required and am available for overnights. I do a walkthrough with owners of exact locations for all your pets, learn their quirks, the things they love and don’t like and what might come up during my stay with them. I answer all phone calls and texts from owners while they are away to ensure they feel safe and comfortable knowing their animals are properly cared for.
“Skylar was so wonderful with our little pittie! We booked her for an hour each time. She engaged + played with him and even broke up his walk on days that it was super hot outside. Trustworthy and attentive!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire adult life and have always taken care of the pets of family and friends when they go out of town. Pets are family and I treat them with the love and care that they deserve. I love dogs as well as cats and have experience caring for both. I have availability in the mornings (earlier is better) as well as evenings and I am very flexible on weekends. I am willing to work with you in order to meet your needs and what works for you. My senior cat Miles recently passed away sadly. He was diabetic and we gave him daily pills for his heart murmur. I have experience giving insulin shots as well as convincing your pets to take their pills! I also understand senior pets have increasing needs as they get older.
About: I dog sat for six years before I adopted my senior dog 7 years ago. He passed away in May of this year. I used to make all his dog food, take him on special walks. I miss him so much. I would love to use my extra energy helping your dog and loving on them. I own my own hand embroidery business and have a very flexible schedule. I would love to fit in more outdoor walks in my routine. I have experience walking my dog and other dogs in different types of environments. I also know that dogs need mental stimulation, not just physical exercise. I would be honored to love on your pet for you!
About: I've had dogs my whole life and love them! I helped my brother take care of his puppy when he was busy with medical school while I was in University. I also did Rover in University to dog walk and dog sit. I've had a senior dog as well and can gently care for them. Often dog sit for my friends too. I play soccer professionally here in Potsdam, so my schedule is not the typical work schedule. I have time early in the mornings in the weekdays, as well as after 7 most week night. We have breaks during the day from around 12-3 so can sometimes fit in a walk then too. We always have Tuesday off so that is my best day with most flexibility. I have a pet friendly apartment with a small porch but no back yard. To start, I am just offering walks but would like to add pet stay soon.
“My child is always delighted to see her and brings so much joy. She consistently takes excellent care of him and pays close attention to their needs. She inform me if there is anything unusual or requiring attention.”
About: What sets me apart is my real hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs in different home environments. I’ve pet sat for 3 different families and understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I also have a cat and two dogs of my own, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I am currently a student at UNCW and am looking to pet sit during my free time. I’m responsible, caring, and passionate about animals, and I would love the opportunity to provide reliable and loving care for your pets while you’re away. In the client’s home, I will maintain the environment exactly as I found it. I will carefully follow all instructions provided and in unforeseen situations I can navigate them by using my experience caring for pets to handle any situation responsibly.
“My fur babies love going on walks with Taryn and I enjoy receiving their reports and pictures from their walk excursions. She is very friendly and punctual and I am grateful to have found her since I am currently recovering from surgery so unable to give them their daily walks. I would recommend Taryn for any future service for your fur babies 🐶. Thank you”
“Christa was amazing! This was my first time using rover and I got so lucky that she’s so awesome. Ross got some great walkies in and I loooooved getting the report cards. Highly recommend her and I would wholeheartedly book with her again”
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals, so size and breed don’t matter to me! I’ve been Petsitting since I was 12. I’m experienced in dog walking, cat sitting, play dates, and overnight stays. I adopted and trained my pitbull mix 3 years ago I’m currently available 24/7. I work in the film industry so this season is slow for me currently. So anytime you need someone, I’ll be there! I care for pets in their clients home by following their regular lifestyle! Whatever they are used to is what I will become accustomed to. No need to disrupt their day to day lives. I’m just here to give them love and take care of the needs they/their parents have
About: I've taken care of dogs all my life, from a large collie, down to my current 15 lb chorkie. He's 17 years old and still a happy critter. I've volunteered with Angels of Assisi and Red Dog Farms. I have also offered temporary care to cats. My schedule is wide open at this time, so I am very flexible. Let me know when you need me and we can make it work. I'm not currently offering dog care in my home, but I am happy to bring your critter to the nearest dog park for some sun and fun.
“Megan was so wonderful! She had great communication and followed all of my instructions carefully. She was so awesome for her walks with my dog. Will definitely be using her and recommending her in the future!”
About: I have always grown up with animals and I treat every pet I meet like my own. I have taken care of both cats and dogs for around 2 years now. I had a dog of my own and I love to get to know your pets personalities and favorite words/toys! I am a student at UNCW, I attend classes on campus from 9 am- 2 pm Monday and Wednesday, 2pm - 5pm Thursday and Friday and 9 am-10 am Friday. Your pet will be in good hands, please feel free to reach out! I provide loving care to your pets in the comfort of your own home. I am able to feed, walk, play, clean-up, give water, and medications if needed. Please let me know favorite toys, treats, dislikes, and fears to ensure your fur baby is comfortable at 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 Wilmington. 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.

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.
