“Lily walked my two dogs on time for exactly how long we scheduled her for. We got our photo updates which was great when you are missing the dogs when you are away. I heard from mom that the dogs got super excited to see her each time. Go with Lily if you want it done right.”

About: Hi! I’m 20 years old and have been caring for animals my entire life. I have two Goldendoodles and a German Shepherd of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities! I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I also know a dog breeder and have helped care for puppies before they go to their forever homes, so I’m familiar with their routines and special needs. I’ve even cared for up to 20 animals at once in my home, which has taught me how to manage feeding schedules, daily routines, and the individual needs of multiple animals. Now that I’m living away from home, I miss my own furry friends more than ever! I would love the opportunity to give your pets all the love, attention, and care I give my own. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication reminders, or a little extra TLC, I want you to feel confident knowing they’re in caring and capable hands! I am available for drop-ins and walks whenever on the weekends and on weekdays I have classes. This means I am available Monday and Friday anytime after 9am, before 8am and after 1:45pm on Tuesday and Thursday, and from 9am-4pm on Wednesdays. When caring for your pets in your home or taking them on walks, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’ll adjust my care to make sure they get the attention they deserve. During walks, I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise, fresh air, and sniffing time they need while keeping their safety my top priority. Whether your pup loves long walks, short strolls, or taking their time exploring, I’ll happily accommodate them! When caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and make sure your pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m happy to provide plenty of cuddles, playtime, companionship, and updates so you can feel at ease knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I know how much pets mean to their families because I have several of my own, and I’ll care for yours with the same love and attention I would give my own!

About: I’ve always connected well with animals, especially dogs. I’ve dog walked and watched others’ animals from a very young age. I was 22 when I decided to become a dog trainer. I was fortunate enough to attend one of the best programs in the country at Animal Behavior College, with a certificate in canine behavior therapy & a concentration in rehabilitating shelter dogs. I’m also qualified to train emotional support animals, which has been so rewarding. I chose this as a career path because of how much I genuinely love all living things. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and give them the best care they could ask for! I own my own business, so I make my own schedule. I can tend to whatever schedule best suits the animals. I don’t have pets of my own, so that gives me even more flexibility. I always make sure I’m doing my best to care for animals, in any aspect of my life or career. I’m diligent in making sure their feeding, walking and play schedules are upheld promptly, and that their routines stay relatively in tact. This is one of the best things you can do to ease a pet’s anxiety about their owners being away. I work as a trainer, which means I’m happy to add on training sessions with your pet while they’re in my care, through my business if that’s something of interest. I’m very amenable to the specifications for each individual animal. Some dogs like to be given affection on the couch for a few minutes each day. Others might enjoy watching the birds in their yard for a while. I’m always happy to attune my care for each dog. When walking a dog, the quality of the walks are just as important as their frequency. Dogs require a certain level of mental stimulation each day, and ten minutes of sniffing is enough to satisfy most dog’s needs. They need the sniffing as much as the exercise. Your dog will be given ample time to sniff and “read the doggy newspaper”, as well as get some great exercise. I always make sure the animal has gotten everything that they need from the experience.

About: I have been pet sitting for about 5 years and have cared for many different types of pets, including dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, fish, and lizards. I am very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I am also experienced in giving medications and following specific care instructions when needed. My mom is a veterinarian, so I have grown up around animals and learned a lot about proper pet care and paying attention to changes in an animal’s behavior or health. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet I care for like they are my own! I am currently a college student at UNCW, and I have a 3+ hour break between every class, so I have plenty of free time to take pets out for a potty break throughout the day. I am also completely free most weekends, so I have lots of time to spend with pets! I usually care for pets in their own homes so they can stay in a place they already know and feel comfortable in. I always make sure to follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, medication, and playtime. I’ll also make sure the house is clean, secure, and just the way the owner left it. Most importantly, I want both the pets and their owners to feel comfortable and know they’re in good hands.

“Sadie S was the best walker Gizmo has ever had. She was very reliable, patient, honest and kind. She was so good with my not so always people friendly Chiweenie. He loved his walks with her. I noted honest because when she contacted me, she explained that s she could only walk gizmo for two weeks because she was relocating and she understood you know if I wanted to go with somebody else and I appreciated that honesty. Very sorry to see her go.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs for most of my life. I’ve grown up around dogs of various breeds such as GSD, collies, and golden retrievers. My childhood dog lived long enough he began developing hip issues so I am well versed in caring for dogs who have special health needs. I’ve been dog sitting for awhile now and am comfortable with staying overnight if that is something you’re interested in! I’ve also dog sat for a dog whose back legs were paralyzed and am happy to assist your pup if they struggle with issues like that! Additionally I work at a doggy daycare (with boarding services) so I am around almost every breed you could think of and am well versed in medication dispersion as well as basic care. With all that being said, I am absolutely obsessed with big dogs (even Great Danes and St Bernards:)) but I am happy to work with dogs of any size! Also I am not scared of trying to work with a dog for them to be comfortable around me if they’re skittish at first. I am in grad school full time and work 25 hours a week at my internship, but I have breaks during the day to let out the animals as needed! I am almost always fully available on weekends, I usually am working on homework, playing pickleball, or reading for fun. I have two dogs and three cats at home so caring for your pets in your home would be a necessity. I am comfortable staying overnight or visiting late at night/early in the morning depending on your wishes. I love keeping the parents updated and can promise multiple pictures per day if you’re gone for a while! I prioritize sticking as close to your usual schedule as possible for your pets so they can keep a sense of normalcy while you’re away.

“Kelly is amazing with our pup, Boris. When we connected with her we were on the lookout for someone who would be able to manage his high energy and leash pulling skills, as well as be kind and patient when he was scared. Kelly does this and way beyond! She is so kind and warm and Boris clicked with her immediately. She is also very skilled and thorough when taking care of him and knows how adjust to what he needs. She’s an amazing dog walker and I truly appreciate her care of Boris and the peace of mind knowing he is well taken care of.”

About: Aside from having animals my entire life, I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends. I care for every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. I intentionally spend quality time with each animal — whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, sticking to routines, or just keeping them company throughout the day. I’m patient with shy pets, attentive to senior animals, and happy to help reinforce training for puppies as well. Since I work from home, pets get lots of attention and companionship instead of being left alone for long periods. My goal is to make your pets feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while giving you peace of mind too 🐾 I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule where I can work anywhere and take many breaks. I can take same day/emergency request as well. I give lots of attention throughout the day, whether that’s play, cuddles, enrichment activities, or just being nearby so they don’t feel alone. I’m also very mindful of each pet’s personality — some love constant interaction, while others prefer a more relaxed and quieter environment, and I adjust accordingly.

About: I've had the wonderful opportunity to care for various animals from farm to domestic. I have helped care for puppies as well as senior dogs. I have assisted with minor medical needs - IE: changing bandages/administering medicines. Every animal I have cared for has a special place in my heart. I offer flexible, open availability for animal caretaking, providing reliable and compassionate care for pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship at any time needed. As I cannot care for animals in my own home now, I am dedicated to following whatever needs you or your animal may need to ensure the best experience for everyone.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Wrightsville Beach is $28 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $39 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,298 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wrightsville Beach. 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 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 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.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Wrightsville Beach 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wrightsville Beach. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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.
