“Elise was great with our dog and super responsive throughout planning and while caring for her! She kept us updated with lots of pics and was willing to come visit beforehand to go over care instructions. Would recommend!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and taken care of friends’/neighbors’ dogs and cats regularly since high school! I love all animals and look forward to meeting yours :) I am a graduate student with the flexibility to go home/to your house in the morning, during lunch, and after 5pm or overnight for walks, mealtime, playtime, and potty breaks! I am comfortable with nearly all cats and dogs and will follow any instructions you leave closely! I love to take walks or go to dog parks/dog friendly places if you are comfortable with that!
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. If your pet’s schedule is outside the usual, my schedule is flexible enough to make it work. I have a 2 bedroom townhouse with a baby door to use around the house, when needed. Whatever is needed of your furry companion, I will come through or let you know honestly if I can’t.
“Emilee was wonderful! She came by for a meet and greet ahead of time, which gave me so much peace of mind, and took great care of my dogs during a big day for me. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly very comfortable with them. I’m so grateful and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Hannah provided excellent communication and was thorough when asking details about my pet. I will be requesting her services again in the future, and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Carly was amazing, she treated Diesel like her own! Her updates were detailed, she was always on time, and my dog and I both loved her. I’ll absolutely be booking again!”
“Kathleen was great with Nova -an immeasurable help. She easily developed a bond with Nova, calmed the high energy, covered a lot of ground in a half-hour walk. Nova shortly began perching on the sofa every morning with her head toward the door, watching for Kathleen.”

About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs. Last year I got my first pup, who has taught me a lot about dogs with anxiety. I am a science teacher and have my summers off. I am looking forward to spending more time outside with some great dogs on walks! I can crate my dog to accommodate to yours and can have a separate area of the apartment for your pup so they feel like they have their own space.
“Dave was great and was very accommodating with my last-minute request. My dog is pretty shy with new people and he managed to get her to go out (that’s a big deal). I really appreciated Dave’s quick responses and the pictures! I will definitely reach out to him in the future.”
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.

About: First time doing this on a professional app! I’ve been caring for pets for a couple years—both as a long-time dog owner and friend to similarly-minded friends. Recently, I’ve gotten into caring for reptiles and amphibians, including feeding and changing humidity when needed. I’m a college student, so although I have classes that will take up a few hours out of my day—they’re flexible enough to allow me the freedom to set my own schedule! I know that pets deserve the upmost respect! They are our best friend our siblings and children and I will treat them as such. Furthermore, I’m fairly athletic, so if you have a gentle giant or wild speedster, I’ll be able to keep up with them.

“Aundrea has been so amazing taking care of Gouda. She is very communicative, responsible, and fun! Gouda previously went to a doggy daycare, but I wasn't happy with the care he was receiving. Since Aundrea has been taking care of Gouda, he has been so so happy! I highly recommend reaching out to Aundrea for your pup's needs!”

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.

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
- 97% 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.
