“Cameron is so great with my baby, Bagel. She makes Bagel feel loved, and she does a great job walking her and communicating with me about Bagel's walks. I'm grateful to have Cameron taking care of Bagel!”

“We love Aundrea! She is not only courteous, professional, and prompt, but she goes above and beyond. Her sweet notes following a walk and pictures go a long way. I know she loves our pup and I cannot recommend her enough. We have full trust in her! I would rate her 15/5 stars if I could.”

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, absolutely, adore animals! I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and kids! Maybe this is what prompted me to become a teacher... Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to home multiple rescued dogs and love them until the very end. I have about 15+ years of watching my pets as well as others' under my belt. I have experience with puppies, disabled pets, administering medication, active dogs as well as senior dogs. I currently do not have any animals or children so all of my attention would be on your pet! This is something that comes so easy to me as I am an avid lover of animals. I have a very flexible schedule and am available seven days a week, including weekends and overnight stays. I’m happy to accommodate daytime visits, walks, drop-ins, and sleepovers based on your pet’s normal routine. I also have reliable transportation, which allows me to travel to clients’ homes easily and be flexible with scheduling. Whether your pet needs a quick visit, extended care, or an overnight stay, I’m happy to work with you to make sure they receive consistent, dependable care. I live in a pet-friendly complex with a beautiful courtyard that provides a great outdoor space for walks and potty breaks. While I do have a balcony, pets are never given access to it while in my care, and the door remains securely locked at all times. Inside my home, pets are welcome to get comfortable and make themselves at home—including on the couch! I understand that accidents can happen, especially when pets are adjusting to a new environment, and I’m always patient and understanding. For overnight stays, I do ask that you bring your pet’s bed or another familiar sleeping item to help them feel comfortable. They will never be expected to sleep alone and are more than welcome to sleep in my room with me. I’ve found that staying nearby can help ease nerves and make being away from home a little less stressful. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m completely comfortable with indoor cameras and understand how important it is to feel confident about who is caring for both your pet and your home. I will always treat your home with the same care and respect that I give my own. Above all, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home while they’re in my care.
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.

“Sarah took excellent care of my dogs. The whole experience was easy for me and even better than I had anticipated. The daily photos were wonderful. They obviously love her now, which is always nice for me when I travel.”

About: Hi! I’m Jennifer, a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of my 5-year-old pup, Scooby. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe pets are family and deserve love, patience, and attention just like any other family member. I also had the privilege of caring for another dog for 12 wonderful years before she sadly passed away from cancer, which gave me experience with dogs through all stages of life and taught me how important compassionate care is. I’m currently a teacher assistant so during the Holidays, weekends and out of school for the summer I’ll be available any time. So I can make sure I give lots of love and attention to your love ones. I live in a safe, pet-friendly apartment complex with two gentle young children under 7 who have grown up around dogs and love animals. Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, caring environment where they’ll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and attention while you’re away. Whether your dog loves cuddles, walks, playtime, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and treated like part of the family.

About: There are very few times in my life that I haven’t owned a dog. I grew up with dogs and my husband and I currently own one dog- a big lovable knuckle head who will love to meet your dog. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of opportunities for play time. I both currently work from home, so I am able to dedicate a lot of time and supervision to your dog! I have always had a family dog growing up. I have a lot of experience with dogs from all walks of life - puppies, geriatrics, to hands on health needs. My dog Gus is very friendly and loves to play. He is very open to visitors and new friends! Please feel free to contact me at any point if you have any questions. I work from home 3-4 days per week so I have the capability of full time supervision and frequent potty or outside breaks. I work a normal 8-5 job. My back yard is fully fenced in so no chance of escape. We also have a back door that leads directly to the back yard. I have two dogs of my own I care for so adding an additional dog doesn’t change much for me so long as your dog isn’t nervous around big dogs. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to host dogs at my house or go for walks. I have flexibility over the days I have to go in to the office. Our home is very easy going. My dog is a free feeder, allowed on furniture, beds, and gets human scraps. We have a fenced in yard for space to run around off leash.
About: Raised my own dog and his puppy from birth, now experienced with senior care. Pet sitting is natural to me, it's not just a job. I currently have a part time job and in college. My hours vary through the week but they are set depending the season because of school. I have a senior dog, so he can either be relaxed or playful. So I can always adjust to my babies needs and I can do the same for yours!
About: I have over 40 years experience with pets. I had my own luxury pet sitting business in Miami, FL before I moved here. I'm reliable, professional and caring. I'm not only here for you pet but for your peace of mind that your pet and home are safe in my hands. I've had birds, a pig, a mini horse, rats, cats and dogs. I specialize in helping ill and/or elderly pets. I'm certified in Pet CPR from the Red Cross. I can administer medications and work with any quirks your pet may have. This is my full time job. I can give my full attention to your pet. Whenever your pet needs me, I can be there for them. Safety is very important to me so I make sure things are put away that could harm your pet. I make sure floors and litters are clean. I make sure food and water is always available and in reach.

About: Hello! My name is Abby and I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and plants since 2015. Pet-sitting truly is my joy!! I have experience checking in on pets during the day time, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs of all shapes and sizes on walks, and overnight house sitting for up to 2 weeks at a time. Thanks to my daytime job as a Youth Pastor my schedule is more flexible than most. I pride myself on customizing each pet sitting experience to the pet and their owner(s). The beauty of pet sitting over boarding is that this experience can be tailored to what YOUR special needs are! Like I said my experience is considerable, I am also self taught for basic pet training. For instance, if your dog has a history of on-leash walking issues, while I’m with them I’d be happy to plant seeds for good behavior on future walks. Just say the word and I’ll do everything I can to make it happen! Historically I’ve acquired jobs mainly from word of mouth. While I may be newer to a platform like Rover, know that I am a well-seasoned pet sitter who has experience with a variety of households, breeds, ages, and situations. I pride myself on my vast skill set when it comes to pet sitting so if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. I’m at your service! My full-time job is being a Youth Pastor. This means I have a very flexible schedule and am able to pop in to care for your pets at the needed times or even work remotely if needed. Most weeks my meetings are limited to Tuesday mornings, otherwise my schedule is pretty fluid. While I am unable to offer my own home for pet sitting, I can guarantee that I will care for your pet(s) in their home environment as well as I would my own. If you have a dog, one of my first questions I ask when pet-sitting is… “how long is your dog accustomed to waiting in between potty breaks?” I ask because each pet has different needs and I never want to make a dog wait longer than they typically would. I also want to keep to their normal schedule as much as possible, if they’re used to daily walks at certain times or being feed at very particular times then I will make notes to care for them the same way you do. The goal truly is for the dog or cat to receive the same attention and care that they have when their favorite people are home :)
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of animals throughout my life including, cats, dogs, and rabbits. I grew up mainly with dogs but I love all animals. I’m currently in school at Appalachian State University for becoming a veterinarian technician. But, I’m doing online so my availability is anytime throughout the week. I would keep your fur baby’s safe while pet sitting/walking them no matter what. I will keep your dogs close when other dogs approach in case of a bad interaction.

About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs for my friends and loved ones! I miss them while in school, and would love the opportunity to take care of your cutie! I am currently finishing up my degree and could use a joyful break. Would love to take your dog on a run/walk that’s already part of my routine. We can both get some wonderful sunlight and photosynthesize 🌸 I have a fenced in back yard and a crate if needed. My neighborhood is dog friendly with all my neighbors having dogs, who at times get taken out for walks around our peaceful neighborhood.

About: I am comfortable and confident with a variety of animals, big and small! I have experience with different exotic pets, large and small dogs, and cats (of course)! I am an active volunteer at the FCAS and take pride in providing the best care possible. I look forward to meeting your pets! I’m currently working part time in the evenings so I have a very flexible schedule! I am available all day on Sunday/Monday, before 3pm & after 9:30pm T-TH, and before 3pm & after 10:30pm Friday/Saturday. I am comfortable handling/walking dogs of any size. I am confident that I can befriend any animal! I have no problems caring for senior or young animals, whether that’s adding more playtime, administering medication, or providing standard care.

About: I recently relocated from Greenville, South Carolina, to the Winston Salem area. While I'm new to the area, I'm not new to pet care! I've been a lifelong dog owner and have over five years of experience caring for dogs. I'm excited to start building new relationships with pet parents here in Winston Salem. I'm a registered nurse, so providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care comes naturally to me. My career has taught me to stay calm under pressure, pay close attention to detail, and follow routines and special instructions carefully-all qualities that also make me an excellent pet sitter. Whether your pet needs medication, has a specific routine, or simply loves extra attention, I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels-from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to build trust so they feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you're away. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, or plenty of cuddles, my goal is to make your pet feel as happy and relaxed as possible. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! As a nurse, I work only 3 days a week, which means I’m home the majority of the week with plenty of time and energy to care for pets. On my days off, I plan my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddle sessions. Even on the days I’m working, my husband, who has just as much experience with dogs as I do, takes over to ensure pets are safe, happy, and cared for. We truly enjoy having dogs around and treat every one like our own! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! We have a fully fenced backyard in a quiet, safe neighborhood, perfect for pups to run, play, and get plenty of fresh air. Inside, there’s lots of space for lounging and relaxing, and I always make sure pets are comfortable, well-fed, and getting plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, mealtime, or just some cozy cuddles, I follow each pet’s routine closely to make sure they feel right at home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Winston-Salem
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.

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 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 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Winston-Salem 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 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:
- 90% 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
