About: What sets me apart from others is that I will spend quality time getting to know the pet and his/her individual needs. Building a trusting relationship with the animal is of the upmost importance. My weekly schedule will allow for me to be available to work providing pet care services 20-30 hours a week. Along with being reliable I am also willing to be flexible. Again, I get to know the animal and his/her needs while honoring the instructions and guidance from the owner. Establishing a solid, trusting relationship with the pet and its owner allows for a positive experience for all involved.
“Kai had been so attentive and patient with our two pups. She checks in regularly and has been the perfect fit for our dogs. Will certainly rebook again. I'd give her 6 stars if I could!”
About: I've always had pets ever since I was very little, I adore all pets. I have had many, and currently have kitties and a puppy! I know a lot on how to care for them, and love playing with them to keep them happy and stimulated. I currently spend most of my time at home with my own pets, I occasionally babysit family as well. I love spending time outside, and hiking with my pets too! When I do in home care or check-ups I always want to make sure the pet is well taken care for so I always check their water, food, and let them go potty if it's a dog. I play with each pet to make them happy and have a fun activity, also walks are great. I can walk for miles if you have a dog that loves or needs a long walk, I'm all about keeping your pet happy and healthy!
About: I have been dog-sitting consistently since 2016, and it's something I truly love! My budget and schedule doesn't allow me to have a dog right now, but I love getting to care for others when they need someone reliable and trustworthy to help them out! I work part time and have a pretty flexible job, so can work with your schedule and needs. Reach out to me and we'll see if we can work it out! I am very thorough, detail-oriented, and responsible. I always aim to care for your pets the way I would care for my own, so rest assured, they will be in good hands!
“My dog knew the minute he met Adara that THIS was a dog person, and he had found his new walker. During the meet-and-greet, I learned about Adara's qualifications and studies toward pet care and training, and I was thoroughly impressed. My dog was bananas to meet Adara, and they clearly had a wonderful time on their walk together today. My dog returned exhausted and happy, which makes me peaceful and happy! Thanks, Adara! We'll see you again soon!”
“Sydney went above and beyond with communication, both before and during the booking. And of course took great care of our pup. We appreciate the care she provided during the booking.”

I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while keeping owners updated and at ease. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet will have consistent care and campaionship.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my house hold for as long as I can remember, and have been pet sitting, dog walking, and dog washing since I was 14. I work full time, however I have a stable schedule, and do not work Mondays, Tuesdays, or Wednesdays. On the weekends I only work in the mornings, so I am available in the afternoon and evenings. I am respectful, and will follow any rules about your household to a T. I am willing to play with and keep your pet company for however long you would like. I enjoy spending time with animals :)
“I was not sure what I expected out of this but even if I had the highest hopes, Chanay is incredible!! The weight this takes off of me is huge, it certainly is a dopamine jolt that gets me through my 13 hour work days… truly amazing”
About: I’ve taken care of countless pets and treated them as my own over the years. It’s truly what I’m most passionate about. My main goal is to make the pets and owners feel as safe and comfortable as possible and to have a blast doing it! I have an open schedule and can do same day bookings. Early mornings aren’t my strong suit but I’m willing to do what works best for you and your pet. Pets feel most comfortable at home or in their own neighborhood with familiar surroundings. I pay close attention to the things that put them at ease when you’re away and try to get to know every individual animal’s needs.
“Dale did a great job with Lewie! Lewie was happy to see him every day and was comfortable with him on their walks. We were at ease knowing Lewie was in good hands while we were away. We will look forward to having him walk Lewie in the future.”
“Cadynce was amazing! She helped me out last minute & was very responsive. This was our first time having someone walk our dog, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her again.”
About: My house is a zoo. I currently have two dogs and three cats. I'm used to feeding everyone, walking them, cleaning up after them, and sharing all the love! One of my dogs is 85 pounds, and the other is 15, so I'm used to the pulling and excitement! You can trust me to provide the best care to your fur babies! I currently have a varying schedule where I either work a typical 9-5 or a 12-10. I'm available whenever needed and usually have weekdays off and some weekends. I can provide walks, baths, pets, brushes, feedings, treats, snuggles, and whatever else your fur baby needs! You let me know what you need from me and I'm happy to do it!
“Extremely happy to have met Andre and McKenzie. Andre showed up on time and took Miley out for her morning walk. Miley was a little nervous at first, but what girl isn’t on a first date. She quickly settled in and off they went for a grand adventure. Their afternoon walk also went smoothly as Miley wasn’t so nervous and was ready to go with just a slight hesitation. I suspect Miley, Andre and McKenzie will be off on more adventures in the future. As for me, I very cautious with who cares for Miley, I couldn’t be happier with my choice. We will be repeat customers.”
“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful! She cares for our dog as her own. After each walk, she gives a detailed report complete with pictures of her visit. Highly recommend!”

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:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
