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.
“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.”
“Andre has been fully transparent and on time to walk our pups! They love walking with him and he provides them with treats and attention. He does a wonderful job of giving them the extra exercise they need.”
“Sydney is the best. She’s incredibly reliable and flexible. My schedule has changed several times and she’s been able to accommodate. Jango is so excited to see her every time she stops by & he’s always gets a good amount of energy out while in her care.”
About: With 8 years of veterinary experience as a Veterinary Assistant and Certified Veterinary Technician, I provide compassionate, knowledgeable care for pets of all ages, breeds, and needs. I have experience with high-energy dogs, senior pets, puppies, cats, medications, and animals requiring extra attention. Growing up on a farm and being a lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of patience, safety, exercise, and treating every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine as a part-time commitment that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care while maintaining a flexible schedule. I prioritize making time for walks, drop-in visits, and personalized care based on each pet’s needs. With my background as a Certified Veterinary Technician, I am comfortable caring for pets with medical needs while providing the same patience, love, and attention I give my own animals. For drop-in visits and dog walking services, I focus on providing safe, attentive, and individualized care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. During drop-ins, I ensure pets are fed according to instructions, have fresh water, receive any needed medications, and get meaningful companionship and playtime. I also take care of litter boxes or potty breaks and make sure the home is secure before leaving. For dog walking, I prioritize safe, structured walks that match each dog’s energy level and needs. I am experienced with high-energy breeds and focus on exercise, mental stimulation, and positive reinforcement. With my background as a Certified Veterinary Technician, I am comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health and responding appropriately while keeping pets calm, comfortable, and cared for.

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!
“Adara is wonderful. Milo gets his walk 4x a week and I can tell he is much calmer when I get home from work. Adara always makes sure to update me with details of the walk and how he did with other dogs and people. Milo has a past history of behavior problems so I knew I needed someone confident and Adara handles him like a pro.”

You can highly expect me to accept times and dates requested through the app. I expect my schedule to stay this consistent for at least the next 4-5 months.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cornelius
We were so fortunate to find Denia. We had a great meet and greet, so we requested that she return to walk our dog. When she arrived for the walk, our dog saw her pull up and started whining with excitement. They had a great walk. We look forward to having her back in the future.

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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

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

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.
