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.

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: Hello! My name is Allie Hochman, and I am a lifelong animal lover! I grew up in Davidson and began working with animals since I was a little girl! In college, I started my professional training journey and have since had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of animals including guide and service dogs, working dogs, and family fur babies! My pittie, Pete, has been my partner in crime since I adopted him in 2020. He became my training partner and still helps from time to time, although these days, he much prefers his spoiled couch-dog lifestyle! I am passionate about helping people and their furry family members build strong, happy relationships and live life to the fullest. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, a fun walk, or help with training, I would love to help. I am also happy to assist with medication when needed, with a conversation beforehand to ensure I understand your pet’s needs and instructions.

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. 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.

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.
