“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.”

We are so appreciative that Kaitlyn is able to help us with our dog's walks. She is so patient and gave our shy dog time to adjust to having a new person. Kaitlyn really maximizes the 30 minutes that she spends with our dog... nice long walks and some belly rubs afterwards. Thank you!

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.

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.

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 .

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.
