Dog Walking in Cornelius

About: Hi! I'm Bridget. I'm new to Rover and recently moved to Davidson, but I've spent years caring for dogs and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. As a dog mom to two pups with very different personalities and needs, I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants companionship and cuddles, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and attention. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I prioritize communication and will keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾💕 Since I recently moved to Davidson and work part time from home much, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra attention while you're away, I'm happy to work with your schedule and their needs. 🐾 I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's preferences, schedule, and any special instructions. In a client's home, I'll follow your care instructions closely, ensure your pet has plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and keep your home clean and secure while you're away. Safety is always my top priority. I'll use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, monitor pets closely, and make sure they have access to fresh water, a comfortable environment, and any medications or special care they require. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Growing up in a pet-loving family, I have spent my life caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. I have personally owned and raised two cats and two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with canines from their energetic puppy stages all the way through their senior years. In addition to standard dog and cat care (feeding, bathing, and exercising), I am highly comfortable with exotic pets. My background includes handling and caring for birds, lizards, fish, and snakes. Whether your pet is furry, feathered, or scaled, I treat them like my own family As a college student home for the summer, my schedule is highly flexible. I can provide frequent potty breaks and constant attention. Making sure your furry friend has everything they need I treat all pets as if they are my own, and I am happy to accommodate any special needs your pet has while they are in my care

“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: Hi! I'm a dependable animal lover with a very flexible schedule and a soft spot for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I do my best to make the experience easy for both you and your pup. Expect lots of love, attention, photo updates, and a sitter who will care for your pet like family. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available for a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. I love spending time with animals and am happy to work with your pet's routine to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I focus on maintaining their normal routine while you're away. I'll carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any special requests. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos.

About: I have taken care of a wide variety of dog and cat breeds since I was old enough to stay home on my own. Professionally, since I was licensed, I have been pet sitting, walking and doing drop-ins for family, friends and neighbors. I have experience with dogs of several breeds and ages, with specialized care regimens. With cats I have a healthy experience and I still pet sit for a parent who has eleven cats, all with unique personalities and needs, and I live with two of my own. I posses the patience required to care for your pet who may require extra time, attention, and understanding to meet their care needs. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of advanced age who need specialized care such as medication administration, teeth brushing, incontinence assistance and working with hearing loss. Beyond older pets, I am familiar with dogs who may be unpredictable with others and have experience with redirection, avoidance and communicating to others to not approach. Finally, I have experience with anxious pets that require reassurance, quality time and play to be fulfilled by their sitter. I am currently not working outside of pet-sitting and have the time and drive to provide the level of care your pet deserves. My own cats are on a specific feeding schedule and do require my being home to feed them around 2pm every day. I aim to take all considerations into account to provide for you and your pet family. Clear communication and understanding expectations is how I may best serve your furry friends. I like to follow instruction to the letter and keep safety of all parties a priority. In this area of work my approach is to not guess if I do not know, better to always ask for clarity when uncertain and look for the same in clients.

About: Growing up surrounded by pets, I developed a deep love and appreciation for all kinds of animals. This lifelong connection has inspired me to continually learn and understand the unique needs and behaviors of different species. My experience in pet care extends not only to caring for my own pets but also to assisting family and friends, as well as volunteering in animal-related activities. Through these diverse experiences, I have developed a strong commitment to ensuring that every pet I care for feels loved, safe, and comfortable. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where your pet can feel at home, even when you are away. I am dedicated to providing attentive and compassionate care tailored to the individual needs of each animal. I work from home and have the flexibility to set my own hours. I am committed to doing my best to accommodate both your and your pets needs. I own my own house and have a large backyard. I also live close to two greenways and an open field. I also have the option of walking your pet around my community. When requested to take care of your pet at your place of residence, I will follow your instructions to allow your pet to follow your, his or her daily routine whether it be walking, playing, feeding, etc.

“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!!”

“Katy’s amazing! She’s been walking Ava for almost 3 years and has been so flexible and responsive. She gives the most accurate reports of Ava’s walk and so abreast on things happening with Ava. We appreciate her lots!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my whole life - playing, feeding, and cuddling! I love playing with my family's puppy and taking her for walks, and I work with her daily on sit, stay, and heel commands. I also have walked, fed, and done house visits for the dogs and cats of aunts, cousins, and neighbors. I love doggies big or small, young or old, energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, and I would love to meet yours. During these summer months, I am home from college and taking an online class, so I have lots of flexibility to visit and care for your furry friends. I am available weekdays anytime between early mornings and late afternoons, with the exception of Thursday mornings. I am usually available on Saturdays as well, and I will be in town for Fourth of July to visit your pets if you're traveling. My love for dogs and cats extends to my careful treatment of them. Since I grew up with pets and have done petsitting before, I have gained familiarity with how dogs and cats express their emotions and how to identify potentially harmful behaviors (for example, keeping your doggy away from raisins). I want your dog to have fun on their walk, your cat to get some well-deserved attention, and all of your pets to be safe and feel loved during my visit.

About: Hello! I have been certified in animal heath care from Saddleback College in Orange County, CA. I worked as a vet assistant an animal clinic in my early 20's. I have also been a previous dog walker on Rover but wasn't able to reactivate my account with my old reviews. On weekends I volunteer with SAR K9 search and rescue. I have two goofy dogs myself that I adore and my full time career is one that would give you peace of mind that I am trustworthy as a person and professional. (Inquire if you want to know more!) I've been happily married for 15 years and have a 11 year old daughter. I've called Lake Norman my home for the last 10+ years! I have a very flexible schedule after I drop my daughter off at school in the morning (after 9:00am.) Much of my work is remote so this will fit into my schedule easily! I am comfortable caring for your dog according to your preferences! You let me know what they're like and what they do best with and I'll accomodate!

About: I grew up with animals all my life. Both cats and dogs. As an adult, I’ve had two dogs whom I have loved and cared for. I have one now who is 9 named Petunia who I’ve had since she was 8 weeks old. She’s my world. I also frequently watch my mom’s Goldendoodle, Folly, who is almost 1 year now. I help friends and families with their animals but have decided to expand and would love to help with your animals! I work from home and have a flexible schedule to where I can check on your animals whenever. I’m only available for drop in visits but can do this 1-4x a day (depending on location) and can sit with your animals so they have company as well because I do this for my friend’s animals when they travel for NASCAR races on the weekend and are gone all day Sunday. I feel guilty leaving my pup so am happy to provide company for your fur babies! I am a licensed teacher and work in Ed Tech now. I am very trustworthy and responsible. I am to meet beforehand as I fully understand any reservations as that’s how I am with finding people to watch my dog when I am needing it.

“I was able to book this walk last minute, so glad she was available! She’s always professional, seems to really care for my pets, and goes the extra mile to make sure they are happy pups (and, cat!)”
