Dog Walking Hickory Grove

“This was our first Rover walk for Coug. He can be nervous with new people, and Rachel was patient, kind, and understanding of his personality. She communicated well and made me feel comfortable knowing he was being cared for. I would happily book with Rachel again.”

“Dominique was so flexible and kind about a last minute booking. My pup liked her immediately and happily went off on a walk with her. I got lots of pictures even though it was dark and I didn't expect them! Absolutely will book with her again in the future!”

About: Hi my name is Joseph! I grew up in a veterinary hospital being surrounded by all breeds and sizes of cats and dogs. I have 7+ years of pet sitting experience for NC State Vet Students and Faculty and currently work for a dog boarding and daycare facility in the Noda area. My background has given me hands-on experience with feeding, exercise, enrichment, and providing attentive compassionate care for every pet. I’m currently working Monday - Friday between 7am-11am (break) 2:30-7pm. On Saturday/Sunday the hours move around alittle but I remain to have a 3-4 hour mid day break for the opportunity to have midday checkups/care. My usual Check-in times when pet sitting have been 10-30 minutes before 6:30-7, 20-40 minutes between 11:30-2, and 20-30 minutes after 7:30. Depending on age, temper and health of the dog the visits can be rearranged for later or earlier visits if needed. With the circumstances of my apartment complex, I do in-house visit of my client instead of having the dog at my home. When arriving at my clients home, I like to first take the dog outside and make sure they use the bathroom. I will update the owner immediately if I see any issues with the pets stool (ie. Blood, Diarrhea, etc). After I like to feed depending on instructed time, or if no meal/ walk the dog around the owners yard or complex if possible. Before leaving I always make sure there is plenty of water and that at least one happy photo. Willing to administer medications in pill form. Also, will always follow clients instructions to a avoid any confusion or accidents.

About: I have spent most of my 36 years caring for animals of all species. As a pet owner of 7 fur babies, one quilled and several feathered friends, I put pet care at the top of my list. As a business owner, working from home I have plenty of time to devote to committing to caring for your pets. My schedule is flexible. Every pet and pet owner has their own unique preferences and needs. I will care for someone else’s pets following specific instructions requested. Beyond a provided guideline, I will pay attention to each pets body language and environmental need. I will provide safe and thorough assistance.

“Carina is the best! She did an amazing job with my Pit. Didn’t think twice about keeping him because of his breed. She’s very sweet and I will request/refer her to anyone!”

“Jkel thank you for coming through on a last minute call. I loved the pics and the quick communication. I will definitely be booking again in the future”

“Keegan is great! She really cares about the dogs and their personalities. She notices the details about their behavior and knows how best to engage with them. Both times she spent the full 30 or 60 minutes with my dogs. She sent lots of pictures and notes about how things went. Best experience with rover so far.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for many years. I currently have 3 cats and 1 dog and always love meeting new ones! I look forward to meeting your pets! I’m working part time so currently have time in the days. I may have some interview pop up but my schedule is very flexible and nothing to worry about I have 3 cats a dog and a fish at home. I care for them everyday and not one goes without love and care. Even the fish!

About: I have a huge heart for pets! I want to be able to help your dog have the best time and be taken care of. I have been around dogs and cats for years. I have a medium sized dog of my own who is an Australian Shepherd and Labrador Retriever mix! He is very friendly and loves meetings new dogs and people. I have a fenced in dog park at my apartment which I bring my own pup to at least once a day. We also like to go on walks around the neighborhood. I live in a very pet friendly apartment complex. I think it’s so important that pets are treated like family and that’s what I want to do for your dog: treat them like family and care for them. I work from home, so my schedule is super flexible! I can easily stop by for walks, playtime, or check-ins throughout the day. If your pet needs extra company, I can even bring my laptop and work from your house to keep them comfortable and cared for for hours. Whether they need a walk, feeding, playtime, or just some company, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and are happy while you are away!

About: I've had dogs my entire life and truly believe they make an incredible impact in people's lives. I have 2 dogs of my own and have provided successful doggy daycare, overnight stays and dog walking for a while now. I have two fenced in areas in the backyard with doggy pools, splash pads and toys. There's also have plenty of indoor comfy areas for dogs to relax. I am also a nanny so I'm most always available during the day and evenings. Depending on the days I can be very flexible with services needed. With two fenced in areas in our backyard, we are able to allow dogs to have plenty of space to roam freely and play outside, with a security camera that monitors at all times.

“Diem was GREAT checking in on our dog and taking her for walks. She is extremely respectful of our home, communicated well, sent sweet notes and pictures on the app, and our dog loved her. Will book again!”

About: Hi, I’m Ellie! Growing up in North Carolina gave me a lifelong love for animals, and I’ve spent almost 10 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful pups to seniors needing extra care. What sets me apart is my focus on peace of mind and clear communication. I love walking, running, playing, cuddling and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m also inclusive and compassionate, non-ableist, and always respectful of boundaries. For me, treating both pets and people with kindness is what makes this work so rewarding. I CAN ONLY DO HOUSE SITTING SERVICES FROM 6AM-6PM. IF NEEDED LATER/EARLIER I MUST STAY OVERNIGHT! My eyesight is bad and I cannot drive in the dark. Caring for animals has always been a central comfort in my life. Working with pets brings me joy, structure, and a sense of purpose, which is why I’ve chosen to pursue pet care full-time through Rover. • My schedule is very flexible! Allowing me to be available for walks, drop-ins, or extended care as needed if discussed! • As an autistic adult, I value clear communication and comfort in my routine, and I do my best to create the same sense of calm and consistency for the pets I care for. I want to be fully transparent: while very rare, there may be times I need to cancel a booking due to personal mental health needs or if a situation feels unsafe. In those cases, Rover's cancellation policy will ensure you're refunded appropriately. Furthermore I’m working to build strong, lasting friendships your fur-babies and you! I truly appreciate your patience and understanding as my client, thank you for considering hiring me despite my struggles. I bring compassion, reliability, and a deep love for animals fit for every client. If you’re looking for someone kind, attentive, and flexible I’d love the chance to work with you and your pups! How I help being the best care to my clients is by build trust, boundaries, strong communication, and familiarity with each person/pet when accepting new clients into my books! I'm always excited to work through challenges, try new things, and learn new things.

“Very nice, and prompt! Dogs were well taken care of.”

About: Not only am I a mother of three beautiful boys and one spunky girl, but I am also a loving mother to an amazing dog and cat. I've owned animals since I can even remember, and when they are in my care, I believe it's the best. Why? Because they get all of the interaction they need from playing ball to relaxing and being pet. I hope that you choose me to care for your important babies because that's what they are, important! Everyone deserves to be taken care of and loved the right way. I hope to see you soon and to be able to help with your pups and give the care that will be needed. Hello, I am currently working full time, however, I am working towards making this my full time job. Book me so I can be home full time! I care for pets by making sure they don't get into things they aren't supposed to. I let the dogs eat and run as much as they want. Then we rest for a little while.

About: I grew up with a dog and have always loved being around them. I currently work as a kennel lead for a doggie daycare and boarding facility. I work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments everyday. I have experience with feeding, exercise, playtime, and cleaning routines. I also have experience administering basic medications. I’m confident in reading dog behavior and making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Wether it’s a high energy pup, or a senior dog who just wants company, I tailor my care to fit their needs. While my work schedule can vary week to week, I’m used to managing my time and planning ahead. I take my commitments seriously, and will only accept booking I can give my full attention to. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their comfort and routine, while being respectful of the space. I follow all instructions closely to make things feel familiar for your pet. I always aim to create calm, safe environment, and build trust through gentle consistent care.

About: I’ve always had a huge affection for all animals. Growing up with cats, dogs and even having my own as an adult has given me the experience to treat your pet just as you would! I work in center city Charlotte and have a flexible lunch schedule. I’d be available before, during, and after work for potty breaks, feeding, and of course play time. I’m also available on most weekends for extended stays. I live in a very spacious home that is definitely pet friendly, the more the merrier! I also have a fenced in back yard that would be great for exerting that energy before bedtime! I can also crate your pet if needed.
