Cat Sitting Cornelius

About: Give your pet something to look forward to while you’re away! 🐾 I offer loving, enriching weekday dog walks and drop-in visits while you’re at work or just away for the day. I bring more than 20 years of hands-on experience through pet sitting, animal rescue, fostering, and caring for my own rescue dogs. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from puppies and kittens to seniors. Whether your pet needs a walk, potty break, playtime, or companionship, I’ll tailor each visit to their needs and follow your care instructions closely. My goal is to become a familiar, trusted friend your pet feels comfortable with and you can count on. After every visit, you’ll receive a detailed update and photos so you can see the moments that made their day extra special. You can focus on your busy day knowing they’ve had attention, care, and a little extra love. 💕 I offer weekday dog walks and drop-in visits, typically between 9am-3pm. Both recurring weekly bookings and occasional visits are welcome! Whether your pet needs a regular midday break while you’re at work or some extra attention on a busy day, I’d love to help. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I carefully follow instructions, pay close attention to your pet’s needs, and tailor visits accordingly. My top priority is to keep your pet safe, healthy, and happy.

“Karley always gets the best pictures and checks/finds all of the cats. This is the third time I’ve had her check on them and will definitely have her check in on them again. Thank you!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have loved caring for them at every stage. I adopted my own dog six years ago, and I also have two family dogs who I’ve helped care for over the years. While I was in college, I worked as a dog walker for three summers, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’ve handled everything from walks and feeding to playtime, companionship, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they need while you’re away. I recently completed my master’s degree and am currently searching for my next full-time opportunity, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m able to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and can work with your pet’s regular routine. I’m happy to discuss specific scheduling needs to provide consistent, reliable care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs, and I carefully follow any instructions you provide. During walks, I’m attentive to my surroundings and make sure your pet remains safe. I'll keep you updated about your pet and will reach out if anything seems unusual or if I have any questions.

“Words cannot express how wonderful Juliana is! We are beyond grateful to have her watch our precious kitty, and we will 100% have her watch our Jack Jack again.”

“Helen was prompt and professional in taking care of my 2 cats. She did a great job of communicating and updating even over a long holiday time. I am confident she will do an excellent job for you and your fur babies as well.”

About: I grew up on a dairy farm in north Charlotte, Being exposed to all types of animals I am an animal lover, particularly of dogs. For sixteen years I was an Anthrolopology student, studying and working with human skeletal remains. Before I left NC for grad school in 1996, I worked for five years as a kennel assistant at two local vet clinics. When I left academics in 2007 and came back to NC, I worked under a former police canine handler to become a dog trainer and have been training dogs for 18 years. In 2013, I was head instructor for his company, Highland Canine Training, School for dog trainers. The school is an intensive six month course of study, with both classroom and hands-on training time. So, with my 23 years of animal/dog experience, I know how to lift, carry, administer meds (orally and shots), clips nails, check paws, teeth and gums if there is reason to and check and clean ears. I can also recognize signs dogs display when they feel any discomfort, irritation or pain. As a trainer, I am great with dogs, I have that "auroa". With all of my years of experience, know how to read a dog's body language, how to encourage "good" behaviors, discourage "bad" behaviors and work at keeping your dog calm and myself calm in the process. particularly in the house. I've cared for and worked with alll breeds, sizes and ages of dogs. I treat your dog(s) like they're my own when I pet sit for owners. Your babies are my babies. In March of this year I left my corporate part-time job to focus solely on pet sitting and dog training. So, I am now able to spend more time at your home with your dog(s)/pet(s). When I leave your home it will be to run errands or a scheduled dog traininig evaluation or lesson. This typically means I would be away from your home for 2.5-3 hours. I may schedule two lessons for the same day, but do not schedule back to back lessons. I prefer to have several hours between lessons. When I have slow day(s) I'm typically on my computer working on drumming up dog/pet business. I provide pet sitting services in YOUR home. As far as daily care goes, I follow your daily routine: feeding, pee/pooing, leash walks, outside play time. Because I have more free time than you do, your dog and I can take longer walks or multiple walks each day, as well as have more play time outside and even inside the house. I'm a dog trainer, so inside play time is structured play time. If you have multiple dogs, I often like to spend one of one time with each dog. Even if it's 15 minutes per day. I promise that your dog(s) will get plenty of TLC. There will be plenty of head scrtaches and back/butt rubs during the day AND at night we can snuggle up on the floor, couch or bed (wherever your dog is allowed) and watch my British crime/mystery shows.

About: I am reliable and trustworthy, careful with homes and pets while respecting routines and rules. I am deeply committed to animal comfort and well-being, attentive to each pet’s needs, and happy to provide extra love and care. I enjoy keeping pets active through walks, outdoor play, and exercise, and my professional background running my own business makes me organized, responsible, and detail-oriented. I’m currently working part-time while figuring out my next chapter in life. After running my own small business since 2008, I decided it was time to slow down and focus on things I truly enjoy—like spending time with sweet pups and giving them all the love and care they deserve while their owners are away. I also love walking and being outdoors, so it’s always a win/win for both me and the doggos! I am respectful, trustworthy, and will care for your pets and your home as if they were my own. I truly love animals and believe they’re happiest when they can stay comfortable in their own environment. That’s why pet sitting in your home is the best option for them—and as an added bonus, you’ll also have the peace of mind of someone house sitting at the same time.

About: I’ve worked with cats, dogs, chickens, rats, beardies, snakes, fish, and horses since I was a child. I love all animals and sometimes think I understand them better than humans I have full availability but I do love to travel! I intend to use what I earn here on Rover to explore and experience the world! My priority it always comfort and kindness for a pet! I believe pets communicate their needs effectively and we need only pay attention to know what they need

About: I absolutely love animals, and with over 30 years of experience living alongside pets, I naturally tune into their unique personalities, body language, and routines! As a high-energy runner and big walker, I’m the perfect match for keeping active pups happy and hitting their exercise goals, while my decades of sharing spaces with animals mean I’m equally great at giving sweet kitties the calm companion care and independent space they thrive on. Whether your pet is an energetic workout buddy or a quiet lounger, I bring tons of love, care, and reliable live-in companionship to make them feel safe, active, and completely pampered! I work part time from home on my own schedule, easy to fit in your fur baby’s early morning, mid day or late night needs! When staying at your place, I focus on keeping your pets exact routine, boundaries, and energy levels intact. As a runner and big walker, I love tailoring our days to hit your dog's exercise goals, whether that's a fun jog or a casual stroll around the neighborhood. Decades of living with canine and feline roommates mean I effortlessly adapt to their feeding schedules and unique quirks, giving them plenty of love and live-in companionship right where they’re most comfortable.

“Reliable and communicative like always!”

About: Hi! I'm Jada, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals. Growing up with pets has helped me develop a strong understanding of their needs, and I’m passionate about providing the best care for them. I’m excited to start dog walking and offer my services to pet owners who want their furry friends to get the attention and exercise they deserve. I’ve had experience administering medication to pets, so I’m comfortable handling those extra responsibilities when necessary. I currently have a dog named Black, who I’ve raised and cared for with great attention. In addition to dogs, I’ve also taken care of cats, which has made me adaptable to the needs of different animals. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pet I walk or care for. Whether it's a leisurely stroll or ensuring a pet’s medication schedule is followed, I’m committed to offering trustworthy and thoughtful care for your pets. I am available weekends to take care of your pets and have all day for plenty of play! I am available for walks, check-in, and overnight stays. I am flexible with times as well! With having free time I will be able to keep your furry friend company including multiple walks a day and toys to play with in house.

“Jamie was super communicative and committed to building a relationship with our cats! I truly appreciate her flexibility and ability to take care of our cats during a short weekend trip. Will definitely recommend and will be booking again. Thank you, Jamie.”

About: I have had dogs and pets my entire life. I love taking care of dogs, including walking, bathing, feeding, playing, going to the dog park, or going on an adventure hike! I am currently available seven days a week from 8 am - 7 pm to walk your dogs or to pet sit your dogs or cats. I provide all care in your home, where your pet is most comfortable and relaxed. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely so the day feels familiar, and I’ll keep your home tidy and secure, making sure doors and gates are closed behind me. For walks, I keep dogs on a leash, stay alert to our surroundings, and choose safe, familiar routes, and I’m happy to visit a nearby park if your dog enjoys it. I always recommend a meet-and-greet first so your pet and I can get acquainted, and you can walk me through your home and routine. You’ll get photo and video updates during every visit, and I’ll keep your vet’s contact information handy in case of an emergency.

“Did amazing with my animals and went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of and even walked.”

“Vanessa gave me peace of mind on my vacation. She gave me updates and reassurance that my kitties were taken care of. I have a new cat who is not very sociable and he took to Vanessa like they were old friends. I highly recommend Vanessa to take care of your pet’s needs.”
