About: Hello, I'm Bailey. I specialize taking care of dogs that are high energy &/or struggle with anxiety. I’m a natural healer & that extends to our furry friends! I’ve worked in doggy daycares, animal shelters, and even been around for a few dog births! Since then, I have managed a few restaurants and opened a facial business, which has increased my strong sense of reliability, organization, and many hours on my feet! I appreciate the consideration and look forward to meeting your furry friend! I own an esthetics business and am looking for some fun part time work while I build my clientele! I am almost always outdoors and walk a lot myself so I figured hey, let’s add in some furry friends too! Thanks for looking at my profile! My, and your, pets safety is always my first priority. Our animals needs us in the same ways we need them. Making sure they’re stimulated and happy is always my goal.

About: Veterinary assistant and lifelong dog enthusiast offering premier sitting services. Skilled in dedicating to your pet's happiness. Trust in my expertise as I pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian! My main job schedule is typically 7:15 AM–6:00 PM, but I do get a 1-hour lunch break and occasionally half-days, which I can sometimes work around. I plan pet visits around my shifts and make sure they’re consistent and reliable. For longer trips or multiple daily check-ins, I’m usually able to coordinate timing in advance so your pet’s routine stays on track. I’m also flexible where possible and do my best to accommodate clients who travel or have changing schedules I care for pets by following their routine closely—feeding, water, cleaning, and bathroom breaks when needed. I check in on their overall behavior and comfort, and I pay attention to any changes in health or stress, such as skin issues, appetite changes, or unusual behavior. My goal is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and consistent with their normal routine while owners are away

About: I was that kid who would sit in the middle of a chicken coop to play with my feathery friends. Lol I must say that I connect way easier to animals than I do humans, which is something I take to high regard. You can’t fool an animal..they know who you are the minute they lay eyes on you as they show you who they are with no filters every single day. My family growing up was not too keen on pets so I settled for birds and waited for adulthood to volunteer in shelters and later getting my cat (Olivia) and then 7yrs later, my Pup, Bizzy. I don’t have much experience in administering syringe related but already have a handful of experience administering oral. I work full-time as a college admissions counselor and live 10 mins away from the school. I walk Bizzy every morning at around 7:30 - 8 am then I usually visit home during lunch, then I walk her again after coming home and feeding them dinner. I have a 2 bedroom townhouse with a baby door to use around the house, when needed. Whatever is needed of you furry companion, I will come through or let you know honestly if I can’t.

About: I have cared for cats and dogs all of my life. I currently care for my two lovely cats, Klaus and Stanly. I have experience with taking care of kittens, adults, and senior kitties. I am experienced with caring for pets that have needed medication administration. For dogs, I am an incredibly physically active individual (ballet dancer!), and am very capable of fulfilling any walking, running, or exercise needs you dog may have! I offer check-ins, dog walking, cat sitting, and dog sitting. I'm currently a full-time senior undergraduate student at UNCSA. I have the most availability on Weekends and Holidays. During the Spring Semester, I will have limited availability during weekdays. I care for pets by maintaining their usual routine and creating a calm, attentive environment, whether in my home or a client’s home! I make sure all basic needs are consistently met, including feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes or outdoor areas, and ensuring appropriate exercise and playtime. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality and comfort level, adjusting my approach to their energy, boundaries, and preferences. I also monitor behavior, appetite, and overall health so I can quickly notice any changes and communicate them to the owner. My goal is always to keep your pets comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away!

About: Hi there! I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and currently have a Belgian Malinois/GSD mix. I will make sure to pay extra attention to your dog, as I know how stressful it is for them to be away from you. I am available for drop in visits and dog walking, and will treat your dog like they are my own :) I work from home and am usually home on the weekends, when I am not traveling. When I’m working from home I have ample time to take them for long walks, or cuddle with them on the couch. I can be very flexible to accommodate your needs! During drop in visits I will make sure your dog is happy, has fresh water, gets food if they need it, and I can play with them and make sure they aren’t feeling too lonely. I am also available for dog walking, where I can make sure your dog has fresh water, toys to play with, and can take them for a nice walk outside to get their energy out.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10 years old! I have years of experience with cats and dogs and am a happy owner of two cats myself! I love all pets of any age and will provide quality care to give you a piece of mind while your away from your fur babies! I currently working full time at Forsyth County Health Dept; Monday through Friday 8am-5pm. Occasionally, I work until 7pm, but go in later those days, as well as a very short shift on Saturdays. If these shifts ever fall on your requested days, it will be communicated! If it is close enough and I am able, I’m happy to drop in during the day as well to ensure the well being of your fur pals, and give you peace of mind! My goal during my care time is to ensure your fur pals are as comfortable and happy as when you are home; all while giving you plenty of updates, picture mail, and anything else to make you feel confident in my care! I currently work full time with a schedule of 8am-5pm, Monday through Friday. Occasionally, I work late an/or a short Saturday shift. All my schedule details for the days requested will be communicated to ensure I am a good fit! I do best when there is notes with a feeding schedule and other needs for your future babies so I can ensure they are getting the best care while you’re away! I will update with as many photos or videos as you would like throughout the day. If allowed in your home, i leave the bedroom door (of the room I am sleeping in) open so they can crawl up in bed with me or just know that I am there. I love to take them on walks, play with them inside or outside, or even lounge around with them! :)

About: Hey, I'm Meredith! After 13 years in the vet world I've realized how much I really miss dogwalking. I used to dog walk and pet sit for years in both Chicago and New Jersey (I even almost started up my business in New Jersey before needing to move back to Texas). I have been caring for animals one way or another for 20 years professionally. I've started in boarding facilities at age 20 and have now been a vet tech for 6 13 years. I have worked in lodging and as a trainer at a pet resort (seriously.. they have a pool) in New Jersey as well. I have even done volunteering at the wildlife rescue back in Austin. I love keeping every aspect of my life surrounded by animals, always have. I grew up with a dog, cats, a snake, parakeets, gerbils, a rat... my dad was thrilled I'm sure. But he always supported that love of animals. And now I can't wait to meet some new wiggle butts and go for adventures! I ultimately would love to get a little hiking group of dogs to check out all the trails! And with my experience in the vet world I can help with any special needs pets as well. I'm currently working in emergency ICU vet med on Fri/Sat/Sun. So I have all the free time mon-thurs for walks and drop ins. I can do drop ins before and after on my work days, keeping in mind that are 13 hrs shifts from 7a-8p I care for pets in client's homes as per their instructions. I won't do off leash walks just in case, but will play in fenced yards if that is what the client wants if a walk isn't enough.

About: I had my first furry friend when I was 18 against my mom’s will and everyone knows how the story ends right?! Yes she was calling herself grandma after the first week. I’m married now and we have 2 kids, waffles and pancake, yes we love breakfast food. Playing and going for walks aside from giving them love is my skill, they are also here for one lifetime experience so they do deserve to get all the love that they give us. I am currently working full time but I have a lot of flexibility throughout the day, I’m mostly looking to help around the weekends or evening care after 5pm 7 days a week. We live in an apartment, our cat goes on walks once a day and I would be happy to care for your pet in your home as well.

About: I've got over 15 years experience pet sitting, dog walking, and working in kennel environments. I've cared for dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, horses, and everything in between! I have 3 dogs of my own who love to meet and play with other dogs. I have special experience and a soft spot for senior pups who may need meds or have other special needs. I will love your furbabies like they are my own. I work from home 3 days per week and usually have weekends off from my full time job. I have a fully fenced yard with a dog door so as long as your pup gets along with my dogs they will be able to roam my house and yard freely all day when I am home. My pups are a mix of active and lazy/cuddly. My yard is fully fenced with special care to block any would-be diggers or jumpers. Dogs are crated when I am not home or cannot watch them. For dog walks, I can accommodate meals and medications if needed along with let outs and walks.

About: Taking care of pets has been apart of my life for many years. I love them! I have been boarding puppies and adult dogs for family and neighbors. I have breeded dogs and have sold many healthy puppies. Pet care is a daily routine for me as I am a pet owner myself. Pet walking is a every day thing for me and my dog I have one on one care for the pets they are in the home with me on the couch or floor.The pet is put on a leash for potty breaks. If I am boarding a pet the pet sleeps in a cage inside my home.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Winston-Salem

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Winston-Salem on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,456 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Winston-Salem. 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 Winston-Salem. 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 Winston-Salem.

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 Winston-Salem. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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.
