“I could not recommend Sarah enough! My two Boston Terriers are kind of needy little dudes. But Sarah absolutely went above and beyond to make sure each of their needs were met and they got all the quality time they could ask for! Thank you so much for all your help, Sarah!!”
“Juliana provides great care for my dog Paco. We have a reoccurring schedule set up and she is consistent and thorough with her services. Based on my experiences, I would recommend her to any pet owner in need. She communicates well and provides a very friendly and caring demeanor towards animals. She has proven to be reliable and consistent, which are two things I’d assume all owners are looking for when we are looking for a helping hand. Thanks for all you do Juliana.”

About: Hi! My name is Svitlana, and I truly love dogs. I have experience caring for my own friendly Labrador, so I'm comfortable with large, energetic dogs as well as smaller breeds. I understand that every dog has a different personality, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to details. During every walk, I focus on your dog's safety and well-being. I'll treat your pet like my own and send photo updates after each visit so you always know how they're doing. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with dogs. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, including weekends when needed. I always arrive on time and make sure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I always follow your instructions carefully, keep dogs on leash unless you request otherwise in a secure area, provide fresh water after walks, and pay close attention to their comfort and behavior. I’ll send photo updates after every visit so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Its not rocket science. I love animals and provide a lot of petting and physical love, and physical activity compared to the other pretenders. Grew up in Sweden, army veteran. When dogsitting I have a hobby, I play bridge at city hall in cornelius, so sometimes id be away for as much a 4.5 hrs. I can also not play... I can't have a pet at my place save for a few minutes. All I can say is, I'll play with your dogs more than ladies do!

“Caitlin is great, when I goofed the date for our trip she was able to accommodate. Then when our trip was cancelled she was very accommodating. We will use her again for Bolt and Thelma.”
About: I’ve always been someone that animals naturally warm up to because I’m calm, patient, attentive, and consistent. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My background has taught me the importance of routines, observation, patience, and communication, which translates really well into caring for pets with different temperaments and needs. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, shy pets, senior animals who need a gentler pace, and pets who may need extra reassurance or structure. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and behavior changes, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected and reassured while your pet is in my care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having calm company around, I’ll make sure they receive reliable, loving, and personalized care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I plan my schedule carefully so pets receive consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship without feeling rushed. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, weekends, and check-ins throughout the day when needed. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and secure environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can quickly notice if something seems off or if a pet needs extra comfort or patience. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and feeding areas are secure at all times, and I always keep pets supervised during walks, outdoor time, and interactions. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners feel reassured and connected while their pets are in my care.

About: Hi my names Mattie! I’ve always been a huge animal lover and know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else! I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own pets, so I know every animal has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether your pet loves being active and playing or would rather spend the day relaxing and getting attention, I’m happy to do both! I’m patient, attentive, and really enjoy getting to know each pet. My goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of while you’re away. I’ll also make sure to keep you updated so you never have to wonder how they’re doing! I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and most weekends. I am happy to work with your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, whether that means drop-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to have someone come into your home and care for your pets, so I always want both you and your pet to feel comfortable! I’ll follow any instructions you leave and do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine the same while you’re away. I’m mindful of things like keeping doors and gates secure, making sure pets are safely leashed when outside, and keeping an eye out for any changes in their behavior. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!
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 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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cornelius
Samantha was the angel I needed to help walk my tiny dog multiple times a day while I am having back and mobility issues. She was prompt as clockwork and such a delightful person. She got on to Suki's mind games in no time and had very productive walks in the chilly weather which is a kind of a challenge with my little dog.
Corey was absolutely wonderful! He walked our dog on several occasions, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. He was always on time, super friendly, and genuinely cared about our dog’s well-being. It was clear that he wasn’t just there to get the job done, but that he truly enjoys spending time with animals. It’s such a great feeling knowing your dog is in good hands with someone who is dependable, kind, and caring. We would absolutely use Corey again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable dog walker!
Juliana provides great care for my dog Paco. We have a reoccurring schedule set up and she is consistent and thorough with her services. Based on my experiences, I would recommend her to any pet owner in need. She communicates well and provides a very friendly and caring demeanor towards animals.

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 Cornelius. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
