About: Since I was 10 I was the go-to petter sitter in my neighborhood! I have always grown up with dogs, having 2 high energy golden retrievers myself back at home!! I am a very bubbly and playful person that LOVES to take dogs on walks to throwing the ball around! Also on my free time I will volunteer at the New Hanover Humane Society, and have been doing so since September 2025!! I am only working part time at night as a restaurant host, with shifts lasting up to 4 hours! I am also a student at UNCW that will only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Fall semester starts! Would only be interested in coming to the house as I do not live in a place with a backyard! Currently in an apartment building!
About: I have had three dogs of my own, and have been caring for dogs my whole life. Many neighbors and peers have relied on me to provide care for their furry friends! I’m new to the area and just getting started on Rover, so I don’t have client reviews here yet. However, I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy caring for dogs. I’m excited to build relationships with local pets and their owners while providing safe, attentive care every walk and visit. I’m available during my free hours for walks and visits, and I love using that time to stay active and give pets extra attention and care. I treat every dog like they’re my own and aim to keep their routine as comfortable and consistent as possible while you’re away. In your home, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, while also providing efficient communication and even photos while you are away!
About: My extensive experience caring for dogs since I was in high school has prepared me to take care of your pup(s). From waking up early in the morning to let outside, long walks to help unleash pent up energy, to shifting around in bed to make room for dogs to sleep with the pack - I am here to make sure your pup enjoys the stay away from home! I am taking the year off from work and have plenty of time to look after your pup(s). Recently moved to an apartment complex near Wrightsville Beach. I usually take my Rover pups on about five walks a day - so they get plenty of outside time and chances to meet other pups along the walkway. Dogs are welcome on my couches and bed. If you bring your pup's dog bed for their visit, I set it up by a window that looks onto Wrightsville Avenue so they can watch people and cars go by.
About: I’ve taken care of my pet dogs and cat since I was a child and have pet sit for others since 2024. This has included following instructions such as giving them medication. I’m currently home for the summer a have a lot of free time. I’m available any day of the week, including on the weekends! I’m very organized and attentive, my eyes will always be on your pet when they’re in my care. I also make sure to follow instructions exactly.
About: I have loved animals my whole life & I would take care of yours like they’re my own. I have also been around a wide variety of animals, so I am fully aware of the responsibility it takes to care for them & capable to do it. I have an attention to detail & would make sure your pet is well cared for while you are away. I currently have two dogs of my own so I have some experience with giving medication as well as some training experience. I have no breed or size preference all I ask is no aggressive dogs/cats please! For the most part, I am extremely flexible. Therefore I will be able to be there for you & your pets when I am needed. I currently do not offer services in my home. However, if I am in your home I will use everything available to me to keep your pet entertained & happy.
About: I’m a big animal lover and treat every pet as if they were my own! I’m flexible and will try my best to work with you & what you need. I’ll never say no to extra kisses, lovings, and playtime! I’m easy-going, bubbly and communicative. Whatever you & your fur baby need, I’m ready to take on. Message me and we can almost always work something out! I can offer walks, drop ins, and playtime sessions. Please leave me a detailed note including your pup’s routine, needs/wants and anything he truly loves.
About: From a young age I have always loved animals, especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own, who are 15 and 11, that I take care of. I also have previous experience taking care of my roommate’s Frenchie who is 5 years old. When I was younger I used to dogsit my neighbor’s 18 year old pug! I have lots of experience with all different shapes and sizes of dogs, as well as all ages. I am equipped to bathe, walk, feed, and clean up after dogs and most of all play with them on a daily basis. I am currently in the process of applying to graduate school and saving for tuition costs. I am free any day of the week including weekends! I am tidy and responsible when it comes to looking after a pet. I have lived with and raised two dogs who are now “elderly” and have a strict regimen on medication and feeding habits. I know of many veterinary practices in the area and have studied ways that pets might show distress incase of an emergency. I will make sure to lock up after I leave and secure any gates or doors in the house to keep the pet in a specific area of the home if need be.
“Lacey is fabulous! He is polite, patient, and flexible. He walked my 89 year old mother’s dog and handled her constantly changing requests with grace and kindness. Her old dog adapted quickly to his visits and waited by the door for him to arrive. He arrived on time for every walk, printed out the schedule for my mom who forgets things, and was just all-around wonderful. I highly recommend him and thank him for everything he has done.”
About: Hi, I'm Elizabeth! Dogs haven't just been a part of my life—they have been my entire life. Growing up with dogs since childhood, I have over 30 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet owner. Over the decades, I’ve loved and cared for some pretty incredible rescues, giving me a deep understanding of different temperaments, behaviors, and unique backgrounds. My personal pack has included everything from the high energy of a beautiful Golden Retriever to the wonderful, grateful souls of two rescued Black Labs. I am also currently the proud parent of a sweet senior Chihuahua/Dachshund mix who requires daily medication and a very energetic and active 1.5 yr old Lab/Hound rescue. Managing senior care and strict medical schedules is second nature to me, so if your pup needs a gentle touch, precise pill administration, or just a little extra patience, they are in highly capable hands. Whether your dog is a bouncy puppy who needs to burn off some energy or a sweet senior who prefers a quiet cuddle, I treat every guest like a member of my own family. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend and give them the safe, loving, and attentive care they deserve while you're away! Pet care isn't just a task for me—it’s the anchor of my daily routine. Since I work from home, my days naturally revolve around the needs of my own pack, starting with early morning walks or runs and daily trips to the dog park. Because I maintain a highly structured and active routine at home, stepping away for regular potty breaks, playtime, and fresh air is already second nature to me. Whether it's keeping a high-energy pup active and engaged or ensuring a sweet senior gets their quiet resting time, your dog will seamlessly blend into a day already filled with love, structure, and plenty of attention. My home is a true haven for dogs, fully set up to mirror the love, safety, and structure they get at home. Guests have the freedom to lounge in a comfortable, climate-controlled environment, with plenty of cozy spots for naps and dedicated spaces for peaceful downtime. Because I am highly experienced with managing multiple dog personalities your pup’s specific routine will be followed to the letter. Walks, playtime, and potty breaks are built into the day to keep active dogs happy. Safety and supervision are my top priorities, ensuring a stress-free environment where your furry family member can feel entirely secure, loved, and pampered while you're away.

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 .

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 Wrightsville Beach. 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 Wrightsville Beach.

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 Wrightsville Beach. On Rover:
- 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
