About: As an experienced dog owner of medium and large sized dogs, and a lover of little dogs, I can offer loving companionship and care for your pet. I also have a lot of experience with senior dogs and those recovering from surgeries and can assist with those needs as well. I have plenty of time to take care of your pet any day of the week, between 9:00am - 5:00pm. If different hours are needed, we can discuss that. For pet care in your home, I will follow any instructions you have for their care and comfort. A typical visit would include a potty break/walk, a treat, and a little time petting them and telling them what a good and lovely baby they are. If feeding or medication is needed that can also be handled during my visit.

About: I’m naturally very patient, gentle, and attentive with animals. I genuinely love spending time with them; observing them, petting them, giving them massages, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Being around animals brings me a lot of joy, and dogs and cats often warm up to me quickly and love to cuddle. When I care for pets, I focus on what helps them truly thrive. That means daily walks, playtime, enrichment like snuffle games and stimulation, and plenty of affection and attention. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, loved, and secure while their owners are away. I’ve had animals in my life since I was very young. My family adopted a small poodle when I was about 6 years old, and she stayed with us until she passed away recently from old age. Growing up with her taught me the importance of loyalty and caring for an animal throughout its entire life. I’ve also cared for many different kinds of animals. I worked for two weeks at an animal sanctuary helping care for rescue animals, including several rescue dogs. I’ve cat-sat for two cats for a full month in Maryland, and their owners were surprised by how quickly the cats bonded with me. I’ve also cared for reptiles like a bearded dragon, and I’m the person my family relies on whenever they need someone trustworthy to watch their pets while they’re away. I do freelance work around Charlotte, which allows me to set my own schedule and be very flexible with my time. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine because I can easily plan visits, walks, or house sits throughout the day. I often have open time between projects, which makes it easy for me to give pets consistent attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, litter boxes, walks, playtime, and any other specific needs. I’m very attentive to animals’ body language and comfort levels, especially with cats. I approach them with patience and respect so they feel safe and relaxed in their own environment. I also make sure their space stays clean by refreshing water, feeding on schedule, and keeping litter boxes tidy. I treat clients’ homes with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’m always happy to help with small household tasks while owners are away. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel completely comfortable and at ease!

These also apply for house visits and any activity or request made by pet parents will be followed.

We left for a week and she walked them 3 times a day for us—from the first walk we could tell we were going to be able to rest easy with them in her care. She treated them like her own and sent updates/photos every time! We know they loved their time with her and we will definitely be booking again next time we leave town.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was always the sibling who took the lead in caring for our family dogs, from feeding and walking to playtime and plenty of cuddles. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to Navi, my lovable Pitsky (Pitbull/Husky mix), so I’m very comfortable caring for larger, energetic breeds. As a pediatrician, compassion, patience, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. I bring those same qualities to caring for animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every furry friend with the same love, gentleness, and attention I give my own. Your pup will be in caring, attentive hands! I’ve recently relocated to North Carolina and have a flexible schedule before returning to my full-time career as a pediatrician. This gives me plenty of availability to dedicate to your furry family members! I’m currently available for weekday and weekend walks, drop-in visits, and overnight boarding in my home. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, an overnight stay, or some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of companionship, exercise, and personalized care to make sure your furry bestie feels right at home! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! I treat every dog as if they were my own, with plenty of love, cuddles, belly rubs, and treats (with your permission, of course!). I enjoy taking dogs on walks, providing lots of exercise and playtime, and making sure energetic pups have opportunities to burn off that extra energy. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and videos so you can feel reassured and stay connected with your furry bestie while you’re away! I carefully follow all feeding schedules, routines, medications, and special instructions because I know every dog has unique needs. Above all, I want your pup to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care!

About: Hey there, my name is Christina! I am a long time pet owner, and I have volunteered through Tri-County Animal Rescue for over four years. Through this experience I have worked with various breeds as well as pets with different temperaments. I am very comfortable with any breed, big or small. I am also very comfortable taking care of cats, or any other species of pet. I am very active and typically hike, run, or bike daily, and I am more than happy to bring your dog along with me! Your beloved pet will get tons of excercise with me, which will decrease any anxiety levels, and tire them out for a good night’s sleep! They will also receive ample playtime, I have lots of room to run around in my large secure fenced in backyard. Your pet will be well taken care of, doted on, & excercised to their heart’s content. I am home full time because I work from home, so your pet will never be put in their kennel or left for any amount of time. If you prefer your dog to sleep in a kennel at night, I will be more than happy to accommodate that, although they are more than welcome to sleep on my bed or with my dogs. I have two dogs, one is a 6 year old large gentle giant who is very calm, named Sasha. She is a small Great Pyrenees, and is very friendly and good at making new doggy guests feel at home! I have a small chihuahua who is equally as friendly, and both of them do very well with other dogs as well as cats, with no aggressive tendencies whatsoever. I also have a small, friendly indoor cat - so any pet that will stay with us needs to be cat friendly, or atleast non-aggressive towards cats. Training method such as crate training and any other forms of obedience training can be continued during their stay with me, as well as medication administration. As an experienced pet owner, I understand the worries that come with leaving your loved one with someone else. You can rest assured they are in good hands with me. I offer meet and greets before you schedule your booking so that you can meet me and verify if you feel comfortable, and I am always available via message to answer any questions. I send daily pictures and updates multiple times a day during the duration of your pet’s stay with me, and keep you up to date on all the fun your dog is having! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible! I am able to accommodate any needs including medication administration. I am also available for home visits. I have a fenced in yard and I can walk your pup multiple times a day - as well as providing playtime! Cats or other species are also welcome.

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring a deep love and understanding of our four-legged companions. As a devoted dog mom to my two golden retrievers, Sophie (11) and Gus (2 years), I’ve raised and trained three puppies, ensuring they are well-socialized, happy, and healthy. I believe in introducing dogs to new experiences, helping them feel comfortable around other pets and people. Dependable, responsible, and attentive, I treat every dog as if they were my own—providing loving care, plenty of exercise, and lots of belly rubs! I have a structured yet flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care for your pup! I work part-time at a day spa just 20 minutes from home, with hours from 10 AM - 6 PM Wednesday-Thursday, and 10 AM - 5 PM on Fridays. Saturday-Tuesday I have a lot of flexibility, giving me extra time for pet care. I’m available for boarding both on weekdays and weekends, and since I get a 1-hour lunch break, I can come home for a quick potty break if needed. For dog walking and pet visits, I’m available before and/or after work on weekdays, as well as on weekends. At home, my two golden retrievers, Sophie and Gus, are part of my daily routine—they get plenty of love, exercise, and socialization, and any pup in my care will be treated just the same! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet, whether in my home or yours. I live on 2 acres, providing plenty of space for dogs to run, play fetch, and explore. While my backyard is unfenced, it is very safe and not near the main road. I always supervise the dogs when they are outside to ensure their safety and enjoyment. In my home, pups enjoy a loving, structured environment alongside my two friendly golden retrievers, Sophie and Gus. I provide a clean, comfortable space where they can relax and feel at home. For walks and pet visits, I follow your pet’s routine, ensuring they feel secure and cared for. I respect your home as if it were my own, creating a stress-free and positive experience for your furry friend. With years of experience and a deep love for animals, I treat every pet like family!

Robert has been taking my dog, Craig, for walks on a weekly basis for about six months now. I highly recommend him as he has been very friendly, dependable, and reliable. Robert took really good care of Craig and made sure his needs were met during each visit, especially during times when Craig wasn’t feeling well. He also took the best dog photos which were a joy to receive in the middle of a work shift. I’m very satisfied with his services overall!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Gastonia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Gastonia is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 4,891 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gastonia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Gastonia. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Gastonia after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 Gastonia. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

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.
