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
“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.”

Animals have always been one of the biggest parts of my life, and nothing makes me happier than making sure they’re safe, loved, and comfortable while their families are away. While I welcome pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, I especially specialize in caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, kittens, and cats that require medications or extra attention. 🐶 Energetic puppies receive plenty of walks, playtime, potty breaks, enrichment, exercise, and one-on-one attention to help keep them happy and on their routine. 🐕 Senior dogs receive patient, gentle care with slower walks, extra comfort, medication reminders if needed, and lots of love and companionship. 🐱 I also love caring for kittens and cats of all ages, including shy cats, senior cats, and cats that require oral medications or specialized care. I understand that every cat has a different personality, and I’m happy to provide anything from active playtime to quiet companionship. Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting, overnight stays, dog walking, boarding, house sitting, and drop-in visits for family, friends, neighbors, and clients. I’ve cared for pets ranging from tiny kittens and playful puppies to senior pets needing specialized care, anxious pets, rescue animals, and multi-pet households. I’m comfortable with: 🐾 Energetic puppies and young dogs 🐾 Senior dogs needing extra patience and gentle care 🐾 Kittens and cats of all ages 🐾 Oral medication administration for cats and dogs 🐾 Overnight pet and house sitting 🐾 Dog walking and exercise 🐾 Drop-in visits 🐾 Boarding (when available) 🐾 Feeding schedules and fresh water 🐾 Caring for multiple pets in one household Every pet is different, so I always take time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. My goal is to keep life as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. One thing my clients appreciate is that I send frequent photo and video updates, so you’ll always know how your pets are doing. I know how hard it can be to leave them behind, and I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re receiving the same love, attention, and care I’d give my own pets. 🏡 24/7 Availability & 24-Hour Care I’m available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, making it easy to accommodate early mornings, late nights, weekends, holidays, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. I also provide 24-hour care for pets that need constant companionship or supervision. This is especially helpful for: * Puppies who need frequent potty breaks and lots of playtime * Senior dogs who benefit from extra monitoring and comfort * Cats requiring medication or specialized routines * Pets with separation anxiety * Any pet that simply does better with someone nearby throughout the day and night I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s unique needs. Dogs receive regular walks, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, fresh water, feeding according to schedule, and lots of affection. Cats receive clean litter boxes, fresh food and water, medication if needed, playtime, enrichment, or quiet companionship—whatever makes them feel most comfortable. If I’m caring for your pets in your home, I’ll treat your home with the same respect I’d treat my own. I’m happy to bring in mail or packages, water plants, follow household routines, and help keep everything secure while you’re away. Above all, I pride myself on being dependable, trustworthy, patient, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. My goal is to build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners so you always have someone you can rely on. 📩 Questions? Need Different Availability or Pricing?

I’m available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, allowing me to be flexible around each pet’s individual routine and needs. Whether your pet needs daytime companionship, overnight care, frequent potty breaks, walks, medication, or regular check-ins throughout the day, I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care. I truly love spending time with animals, and I make it my priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and as stress-free as possible while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and strive to keep their daily routine as normal and consistent as possible, giving owners complete peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving around-the-clock love, attention, and personalized care. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. For dogs, this includes regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, feeding according to their schedule, fresh water at all times, and plenty of affection and companionship. For cats, I ensure feeding schedules are maintained, litter boxes are kept clean, and they receive the attention, playtime, or quiet companionship they prefer. I am comfortable administering basic medications as directed by owners and carefully monitoring pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. I also help maintain a clean environment by cleaning up accidents, washing food and water bowls, scooping litter boxes, and keeping pet areas tidy. If caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect.

About: I have taken care of my friends and families dogs for years and I genuinely love being active and would love to help you with your pups! I am able to walk and take care of your fur babies daily and weekly. I have an 8 year old son who enjoys being active 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.
“Allison is very sweet and super reliable! We have a high energy 1 year old dog and she’s great and burning his energy during the day while we’re at work! She goes above and beyond for our Theo! 🐾”
“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!”
“Stephanie is an absolute rock star. My fiancé is home alone with our fur babies while I am out of town..I am sure you can imagine the state of the house and how well he planned for walks ;) Stephanie stepped in this afternoon with little to no notice and helped walk Milo and give our sweet Julie water! She is super responsive and very reliable! Thank you Stephanie!!!”
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!
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Cornelius is $20

Bri and Q were absolutely wonderful! They were so attentive with our boy and cared for him as if he were their own. They even met with us beforehand to make sure we felt completely comfortable. Both were incredibly kind and accommodating, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Cornelius.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cornelius. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
