“Keira took such great care of our senior cat, that she was naturally the person we chose to walk our dog. Keira loves them as her own and always goes the extra mile. I never have to worry because I know that furbabies are in capable and loving hands!”
About: Ive had dogs my entire life. I trained my puppy and adore all dog breeds. I love playing with dogs to wear them out and walking them to get exercise. I currently work 10 hours a week researching so i bace an incredibly flexible schedule. I have reliable transportation and plenty of space and time for your pets. I love walking dogs as part of my daily exercise. Pet needs come first. Every pet and owner is different so I will accommodate for each pet. The environment and pet dictate how I go about my rountine and care. I will care for the pet as if they are my own and wont even realize their pet owner is gone!
About: I have taken care of my family's pets since I was very young and have always been such an animal lover. I used to babysit, and when they had furry friends with them it taught me how to care for many pets with personalities. I am very patient, loving, and just want your pets to feel comfortable and safe while you are away! I am working part-time as of now, making plenty of time to spend with your animals. Since it is the summer and I am out of class, I am more flexible to fit to your schedule. I will accommodate to any of your needs for your pet as need be. If you need me to crate your pet, or keep them in a specific fenced in area, that is my job!
About: I truly LOVE animals, I’d adopt them all if I could. Whether I’m caring for energetic puppies, independent cats, or senior pets who need a little extra patience, I provide loving, attentive care tailored to their needs. I’ll also water your plants, bring in your mail, and send plenty of photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I’m new to rover but not to pet sitting :) I work full-time with a schedule that is typically either 7:00 AM–2:00 PM or 1:00 PM–9:00 PM. This flexibility allows me to spend quality time with pets before and after work, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I carefully consider my schedule before accepting bookings to ensure I can meet each pet’s needs and maintain their regular routine. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I care for every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence, I’ll make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
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.
“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: 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.
“I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough! It gives me tremendous peace of mind knowing my dog is in such caring and capable hands. Walker is dependable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog gets excited every time they arrive, which says everything I need to know. Communication is excellent, with updates and photos that make me feel connected even when I’m away. Walker is always punctual, attentive to my dog’s needs, and goes above and beyond to ensure every walk is safe, fun, and enriching. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will care for your pet like their own, Jennifer is the perfect choice. Five stars!”
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: I’ve always loved cats and dogs while growing up. I even have 2 fur babies of my own. I also currently work at a local veterinary office in Wilmington. I currently work at an Animal Hospital in the SeaGate area of Wilmington. I work part time but pretty flexible with my hours! Pet care easily fits into my daily routine :) I currently work in an animal hospital and I have experience working in a doggy day care/boarding facility which has shown me how to take care of your fur baby at any time of the day/night!
“Andrea is a wonderful dog walker! She is reliable, punctual, and trustworthy. She responds quickly and is great at communication. I always look forward to seeing the Rover Card she fills out after walking my dog. I can tell from the pictures she sends that my dog has a great time with her! I'm so glad I found her on Rover and highly recommend her!”
“Elizabeth is amazing!! She has been walking my dog for a week, helping me out on my longer work days. She already treats my dog (and cat when she makes an appearance!) as if she was her own. She provides great pictures and updates from their short time together. I am grateful to have found her. Maple is already excited for their next adventure!”
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 have 3 dogs at home that range in size and personality! I love all animals and have pet sit for friends on multiple occasions! (: I am currently a college student, but I am only working 18 hours this summer (with one class). Currently, I am working mondays 9-3, wednesdays 8-2, and thursdays 8-1:30. I have a fenced yard for all 3 of my dogs since they are very active. I usually follow a feeding schedule (2 times a day). All of my dogs are very diverse in size so I can handle small to large dogs when doing tasks such as bathing!
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.
About: I grew up working on a farm and have always had dogs in my life. I have a sweet goldendoodle of my own. I’ll also be starting grooming school shortly at CFCC! I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. Enjoy being outdoors and would love to meet some new furry friends to join me! I have extensive pet sitting experience and will love yours like my own. I prioritize being present with your pet and communicating if any questions arise. *I DO NOT ACCEPT RESERVATIONS AT HOTELS*
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 am a teacher with plenty of spare time this summer! I am enjoying my much needed rest and relaxation, but I have so much extra energy! I hope I can provide your pet with the love and care they deserve! I grew up with dogs, as well as dog sitting for friends and family, including senior dogs and newborn puppies. More recently I have looked after dogs on Rover and have had nothing but positive experiences. I love taking care of animals and I have plenty of time to spare! I am a teacher, so over the summer I am available full time! I love going to the beach when I can, and taking long walks in the sun! I am very clean, so if you chose to have me come to your home it will be left nicer than it was when I arrived. I would love to be able to have pets come to me, but that is not currently an option.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Wrightsville Beach on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of July 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 .

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.
