Dog Walkers in China Grove, NC

About: Dogs do best in their own space (includes their beds) but when that's not possible I'm here. Walks and play keeps their mind fresh and relaxed. Eating familiar food keeps the tummy safe, no table scraps. Updated vaccinations (including Bordetella) required I prefer crates for bedtime, so they feel safe in a familiar space at night. Hi Calm Carrie here, self employed at home and would love your little dog to keep me company. We both need play and potty breaks. Dogs do best in their own space (including their crate). Walks and play keeps their mind fresh and relaxed. Eating familiar food keeps the tummy safe, no table scraps. Please be honest about your pet needs to ensure their safety and comfort.

About: Welcome to my profile! Please check out my availability and rates below, and let me know if theres anything I can do for you! I have experience in taking care of senior dogs, reactive dogs, and large dogs. I can also provide care in minor emergency situations such as cuts, injuries, etc. I also have experience in bathing and grooming and can accommodate most requests. I’ve had my dog Pepper since I was 8 years old, and we recently adopted another dog named Milo in 2023. I’m open to long term house sitting and care if needed! I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time to care for your dog or house sit for long periods of time. I have no problems dropping in at any time for walks or to take care of your baby. Depending on the distance, I may only be able to drop in once, but for long term stays any distance is okay! 👌 I have a fenced yard for my dogs, and take them on walks regularly. I also frequently brush and groom them. I can do any requests for special treatment or care!

“Alyssa is fantastic! Very responsive and kind. What a relief to find someone who loves dogs as much as we do. Our dog is pretty picky about who he likes and he adores her!”

About: I've been an animal lover all my life. From preservation of gentle giants to rescuing the small and helpless. I grew up always having dogs and now I have 3 rescue brother cats that are my world. I take care of my own cats daily. I don't have much of a routine daily or weekly, I just have a lot of spare time and am doing this to help fill some of it. My cats do not bode well with other cats or dogs. Though I've rescued cats in my area, I have adopted them out because of this. I don't offer any services in my residence because of this.

“Ronnie was THE BEST!!! So attentive and loving to my sweet girl Bonnie. I felt at ease knowing she was well taken care of! Was new to the area and Ronnie will be my first call when needed! Thank you!!”

“Awesome first day!! Thank you!”

About: Dogs have always been a significant part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy working with them through dog sitting, walking, and drop-in services. Each dog has its unique personality and needs, which makes every interaction interesting. Dog sitting provides a chance to ensure their routines are maintained, offering stability and care in their owner's absence. Walking is a great way to keep them active and engaged with their environment, and I appreciate seeing how much they enjoy exploring. Even quick drop-ins can make a difference, providing a necessary break and some attention to keep them content. Overall, I find working with dogs to be a responsible and fulfilling way to contribute to their well-being and happiness. I’m a sophomore in college and I have a lot of free time!! I enjoy being around all types of dogs & making them feel so loved. Feel free to reach out for any dog services!! I spend a lot of my time helping take care of dogs, both in my own home and for others. Whether it's providing a safe and comfortable space for my own pups or offering dog-sitting services, I make sure every dog gets the attention and care they need. This includes everything from feeding and walking to playing and just offering a comforting presence. It's important to me that each dog feels loved and secure, no matter where they are.

About: I am honest and dependable. Your pet and home will be treated with the respect deserved. I am a retired assistant principal and have rescued and rehomed many cats and dogs throughout my career . My pets have had knee surgeries and treated for cancer as well as take medication daily. Aging and young pets require special needs and I am experienced with both. I would treat your pet in the same way that I would like for others to treat my pets. I have a way with most all animals putting them at ease. When there is an amimal to be rescued my friends call me to help. Allow me to help put you at ease as I care for your pets. Thank you!

About: My family has had dogs my whole life! I love being around them so the idea of caring for others fur babies is appealing to me! I take a lot of pride in being not only reliable but trustworthy as well. I'll treat your family like I treat mine! I recently quit my job to travel the world so the idea is to use Rover as a flexible part time job between my adventures! I have a very nice fenced in backyard and a very passive Husky. She loves to play and is very submissive. I keep a clean house and my furniture is dog friendly as well.

About: Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile. I hope you find what you are looking for here, and please feel free to reach out if you have further inquiries. I typically to respond to customers (both present and potential!) within 30 minutes between the hours of 7 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. My name is Samm, I am 29 years old & live in downtown Kannapolis, and I'm the licensed & insured sitter you've been searching for! While there are many great sitters on Rover, what sets me aside from others is I am licensed and insured (privately- beyond the "Rover Guarantee"). Your safest and most secure bet for your pet will always be with me- check out my reviews! I have been professionally using Rover since 2015. I built my client base in Charlotte and loved every single one of my clients- both pups and parents. I took a hiatus due to COVID and moved from south Charlotte to Kannapolis, and am now opening my services back up to welcome in new clients in the area. While many Rover sitters specialize in dogs, I have experience with all walks of life when it comes to pets- dogs, cats, fish (saltwater and freshwater tanks), birds (including fowl such as chickens, geese, ducks, etc.), reptiles and amphibians (yes even snakes!) so rest assured that whatever pets you have, they will be in loving and experienced hands when in my care. While I am not a paid dog trainer, I do love to work with my clients puppies (young and old) on reinforcing their training as per their parents desires. This ranges from crate training to leash pulling to general obedience, and everything in between. I understand that as a pet parent, you know best for your pup and their home environment. Please do not be afraid to add in special "requests" as such when booking with me. I have a vast amount of experience with senior dogs and dogs who live with disabilities. I am able to administer medications in a timely manner (pills, liquids, and injections) when required, and I am trained in first aid in the event of an emergency. I am currently studying engineering and have a flexible schedule outside of my studies. I would love to fill my spare time doting on your pets! 9 times out of 10, I am able to arrange to accommodate your schedule when given a sufficient notice. I am currently no longer offering overnights or daycare to new clients at my home, as we now have chickens and ducks as pets in our backyard. While our birds are acclimated and unphased by our dogs, there is always a possibility that our birds can trigger a prey drive in unacquainted dogs. While I can survive the heartache of losing a chicken (EVERYTHING hunts chickens around here!), chicken bones can pose a very serious and potentially deadly threat to dogs when ingested. So, for everyone's safety, I am currently only offering services outside of my home. As such, I am available for drop-in visits in your home, walks, as well as house sitting. Please read on for what you can expect out of each type of visit in your home, and as always, reach out at any time for further information if needed. Walks: I offer 30 minute or 1 hour walks. This service is perfect for those who work or are out of the house, but need someone to help with making sure their pet gets exercise and a potty break. 30 minute walks are typically 0.5 miles to 1 mile in distance, sometimes more or less depending upon your dogs size and energy levels. A 1 hour walk is usually ~2 miles. During these visits, my main priority is getting your dog outside and nicely tired out so you can enjoy your day uninterrupted. I will make sure your dog gets a potty break while we are out, so all you have to worry about afterwards is where your dog wants to take their nap :) Drop-In Visits: I currently offer 30 minute and 1 hour drop-in visits. This is typically what an owner will book me for if they are out of town and need a sitter to drop in and make sure the household and pets are doing well. During this time, my first priority is medication administration, if applicable. Second to that in priority is ensuring your pup gets to relieve themselves. Please specify if you prefer your dog use your yard, or if you would like for us to take a stroll around the neighborhood. I take 15-20 minutes of walk or backyard play for 30 minute visits, and about 30-40 minutes for hour visits. The remainder of my visit will be to replenish food and water, give treats, pets, and attention, and clean up any messes that may have occurred. Please note that this is MY general outline- if you have a different routine you'd like me to follow that works better for you and your pet, simply notify me of such and I will be more than happy to follow your procedures. House Sitting: I will be staying overnight in your home and provide daily care and company for your pets and home. I will provide my own food, toiletries, personal items, etc., so you will only have to worry about and focus on gathering what your pet needs while you are away. Please note that I will not be at your home 24 hours a day. I will likely have to leave for class or to tend to my pets at home. If you need constant care at home for your pet, I am able to arrange for that to happen at an additional cost- please just let me know in your original booking inquiry. With a house sitting booking, you can expect me to perform all the everyday activities your pet requires. This includes timely administration of medications, sticking to your desired feeding routine, and as many walks and playtimes as you desire. Please let me know the desired duration of walks/play as I do not want to overexert your pet, or alternatively, not give them enough exercise. Light housekeeping will be performed- plants will be watered, mail will be taken in daily, sweeping/vacuuming fur and dirt, and general cleaning up after your pet in the event of messes. I make sure that your home is in the same or better condition as when you left it. I do not smoke or drink and will not be bringing unauthorized persons onto your property. Typically I send one update (accompanied by pet photos) per day around the afternoon. If you would like more- no problem! Just inform me of such and I am happy to keep you as much in-the-loop as you desire.

About: I work fully from home and since I will be home more this year, I'd love to care for your pets! I have experience with petsitting on rover during my college years, both with boarding and drop-ins, and have house-sat in the past couple of years outside of Rover. I have 3 cats myself but I have also had pets since I was a child including a dog, horse, and chinchilla. For house sitting my partner and I are both available for overnights, especially with multiple dogs. I am a remote worker and have the flexibility to adjust my schedule as needed throughout the day for check-ins or housesitting and petsitting stays. I will treat your pets like my own. I wash my cats bowls every day after they eat, fill up their water and make sure it's clean, keep the litter clean, and make sure to play with them and give them enough attention. For dogs I will also make sure to regularly let them out, or walk them. I'm also a plant mom and can water your plants if needed.

“So grateful and pleased with Mackenzie’s service! They responded promptly and were able to take Apollo out for me on very short notice. Wonderful experience and would love to book again (:”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was young and I have a pet of my own as well! I love cats and dogs and figured I could do this for fun and some side money 💗 I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible.

My home is an apartment but there’s a lot of room for pet friends to visit or stay if needed!
