About: Your pet deserves more than a quick potty break. They deserve thoughtful, attentive care that makes their day a little brighter! ☀️ I’m a lifelong animal lover with 20+ years of experience in animal rescue, fostering, pet sitting, and dog ownership. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and needs, from newborn puppies to seniors and those with medical conditions. I treat every pet with the same thoughtfulness I’d want for my own. Whether that means adjusting the pace of their walk, playing their favorite game, scratching just the right spot, or offering comfort during a storm, I’ll tailor each visit to your pet’s needs. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make every visit a special part of their day! 💕 I specialize in weekday visits and walks, typically between 9am-3pm. You’ll receive detailed updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe. 💕 I carefully follow instructions, pay close attention to your pet’s needs, and tailor visits accordingly. Whether it’s adjusting a walk due to summer heat or providing comfort during a storm, I’ll always use my best judgment to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy.
“Karley is our go to pet sitter! She is prompt, caring, and loves our Snoop Newton like he is her own. I would recommend Karley to anyone as you know your pet is in good hands when you are away!”
“Thank you Maura for taking great care of our new puppy. Puppies are a lot of work and leaving them with someone new requires a lot of trust. After an initial meet and greet we were confident Maura would take good care of our puppy Winnie and we were not disappointed. Would recommend and will definitely try to use Maura when she is available.”
“We were extremely happy with Katelyn, and the dogs were too! During our meet & greet both dogs went up to her, wagging their tails like she was family. She got them to pose for pictures, which was amazing. They’ve both camera shy and even as an agility trainer I’ve had difficulty getting them to cooperate for family photos. Katelyn went over and above in every way.”
About: I’ve pet sit for neighbors for about 2 years now, and am particularly passionate about getting dogs the outdoor time and exercise they need. I love seeing how much joy and excitement it brings them. I work from home and typically take my own dog on 20-30 minute walks and want to extend the favor to those with less flexible schedules! I work full-time from home, so my schedule is extremely flexible! I am available during weekdays and weekends, and am usually up fairly early to take care of pups who need early-morning care! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prefer to have detailed instructions so I can ensure care is provided properly. I also make it a top priority to leave the home the same, if not better, than I found it.
“Joseph and Christine are great! They are communicative, and I felt confident leaving my pet in their care. I certainly recommend them to other pet owners.”
“Nancy was extremely accommodating & a pleasure to deal with. We had lots of questions and she graciously answered every one of them without delay. Thank you Nancy for going above & beyond for us.”
“Helen was a God send. She was so loving, caring and interactive with our dog. She went above and beyond to make sure not only was our dog taken care of but also our house. This was my first time leaving my dog with a person other than a family member or friend of the family since moving from NY to NC. I will definitely use Helen again I highly recommend her. Helen made me feel comfortable from start to finish and that my dog was in good hands. Thank you Helen.”
“Margret was amazing. She was there on time every day. She went above and beyond , cleaning out the cans before throwing them away, rinsing off the dishes, and even set our packages that was delivered unexpectedly in the house. Thank you so much !!!! Will diffiantly be using her again!!!”
“So glad I found Mary! Took my 1st trip since I got my youngest kitty & I had such separation anxiety! Mary took excellent care of my 3 kitties & I was able to enjoy my vaca stress free 🎉”
“My cat loves having Jennifer come see her when I am away. For several days after I come the cat runs to the door hoping it's Jennifer. Jennifer is very good at problem solving and patient with pet owners who happen to give wrong gate codes and need special understanding.”
“We so appreciated being able to entrust our kitty to Jessica-it gave us such a peace of mind while away to get updates and photos from Jessica! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!”
“Stephanie did a wonderful job for us. I was worried about leaving our dog for ten days with someone I didn't know (this was my first time using Rover), and I could not be more happy. The report cards with comments and pictures were wonderful for my daughter, who was worried about her dog. I would use Rover, and Stephanie, again with no hesitation.”
“Ashley was exceptional with watching my pup. She came over beforehand to meet her and go over all the details. She provided pictures upon arrival and departure and during a walk. I knew upon meeting her that she was someone I could feel safe leaving my dog in her care.”

Marcia is simply the best—there’s a reason we keep coming back to her again and again. Finding someone you trust with your pets (and your home) is no small thing, and with Marcia, that trust comes easily. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, and it shows in every interaction.
Jessica is great. I have two cats and one of them is very shy and the other one is outgoing. They both loved her and I loved that in one of Jessica’s pictures. She actually got a picture of my shy cat rubbing up against her.😻 my cats are very good at judging good people
Sherry took care of our little kitty INCREDIBLY! Our kitty was struggling with a sickness and needed some additional support with wiping her nose and Sherry was more than happy to take care of her needs and she gave us consistent updates on our kitty’s symptoms while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter 😊

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter 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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cornelius. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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 sitter.
