“Ashley has been great with Kimba! She always keeps me updated with pictures and messages and Kimba always seems to be well taken care of when I get home from work. Would definitely recommend her for your dog/cats care in the future she does a awesome job!”
“Joseph and Christine did a great job! They made sure both of my babies got treats, play time and a good walk in! I appreciate them taking care of them while I was at work.”
“Katelyn took exceptional care of our senior pup,Koda. She was prompt with each walk. Katelyn made sure he was settled in before she left our home. She is #1 in our book. We couldn’t be more pleased with how she took great care of Koda. Thank you and we look forward to asking Katelyn to help us with future services.”
About: I am an animal/pet lover and always have been. I have experience as a neighborhood walker in south Florida and loved it. Satisfaction is guaranteed. I am currently studying online for IT and am looking for taking care of your pups/pets no matter what. I look forward to meeting them. I have a fenced in back yard and extra crates if needed. Personally our dog free roams and out cats have their room if needed.
“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!!”
“10/10 Recommend Mary. She sent us lots of pics, and I know our 2 big boys were well cared for while we were gone. This was our first time using Rover, so we were nervous but as soon as we met Mary we knew our pups would be just fine in her care. Highly recommend, and will be using her again! Thank you Mary!!”
About: I have always loved pets so was always willing to help watch friends and families pets. I have watched both peoples cats and dogs and even snakes. I have majority of my days free. I like to get outside often when getting away from doing work. I am usually up fairly early and sometimes late so if a last minute walk is needed i’m your gal. Depending on the dog depends on how i care for them. If they are more playful we will go outside and play with toys but if it is a older dog that doesn’t do much we can just hangout and relax.
About: Caring for children has been my career for over 15 years. Working in education, I know that trust isn't given, its earned through consistency, communication and genuine care. While my professional background is with children, the same qualities I bring to families everyday are exactly what I'll bring to your dog: patience, attention to detail and a calm caring presence. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy dog and have complete peace of mind knowing they were treated like one of my own. My schedule offers flexibility, which allows me to fit pet care into my week while giving each dog the attention they deserve. Some days I’m available earlier than others, and weekends are generally more open. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I’ll always be upfront about my availability and make sure I can fully commit before accepting a booking. When your dog is in my care, they’ll have my full attention, plenty of affection, and dependable care every step of the way. I know that trusting someone with your dog is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Whether your dog is staying in my home or joining me for a walk, their safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, keep routines as consistent as possible, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in caring, dependable hands. My goal is to create a calm, welcoming environment where your dog feels loved, secure, and right at home. No other pets in the home. Non-smoking home. Plenty of space for walks and play. Only one family’s dog(s) at a time
About: I have cared for and loved pets of all kinds all of my life. Cats, dogs, goats, rabbits, lizards and a bird. I am responsible and respectful. With age comes dependability and maturity. Plus, animals love me. I'm retired so everyday is a Saturday. I travel in a converted Sprinter van, but only a few times a year. I'm available unless already booked. I'll be happy to take care of your dog in your home and walk them in/around your neighborhood. Do they like dog parks? That can be arranged, too.
About: Hi! I’m Olivia and I’m excited to pet sit for you. I’ve been a part time pet sitter for 6 years taking care of cats and dogs (of all sizes). I have experience in pet sitting for young puppies & kittens as well as older more medically complex pets. I am more than comfortable giving medication to pets and allergy shots. Although my pet sitting experience has been focused only 6 years. Prior to this I fostered countless kittens and puppies with the humane society of Charlotte ensuring I met all of their socialization needs for their future home! I have two kitties of my own, Winifred and Beatrice who have brought me so much joy and I’m excited to love on your pet as I do my own! I currently work 7 to 4 in office most days but am available morning, lunch times and the evenings. I love to fill my time taking care of animals! I love to make sure all animals feel comfortable with me. I never approach without letting them sniff me and make sure to always give space when needed. I am always gentle and quiet around more shy animals until I gain their trust.
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!
About: Hi! I’m Victoria :) , a lifelong pet lover with 15+ years of experience caring for furry friends, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet! Cats and dogs are my specialty, and I take pride in providing the personalized attention every pet deserves. Whether we’re enjoying a walk, playing, or simply relaxing together, my goal is to make your furry family member feel safe and right at home. Thank you for your consideration and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I have full time availability during the week - great for when you have to go to work and need someone to check in!! On weekends, I have part time availability in the mornings & evenings. I love to create an open space that your pet is familiar with! Keeping the same routines and providing extra loving if they get anxious is key when they are around new people. Allowing them to sniff and get comfortable without pressuring them.

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.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
