Sara was awesome. She filled in when our regular sitter was unavailable. She came for a meet and greet. Took nice walks or spent good visit time when it was raining. She left great notes. I knew Piper was well cared for.

About: I've spent close to my whole living with dogs. Constantly learning how to better train them and care for them. Besides my love for dogs, I also have extensive training in emergency training for dogs. I was also a Flight Medic for the military, which included being trained and tasked with caring for injured or sick military working dogs. While I'd never claim to be an expert in this field, you can trust that I know how to take care of your furry family members. I am currently working full time for this position until my civilian licensure in Healthcare is approved, which will take several months. I'll be available day and night, and have no problem working on the weekends if we schedule in advance. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs that live with my wife and I. Tucker is a chocolate lab, he's the oldest at 10. Milo and Kiwi are two high energy German Short-haired Pointers, at 4 and 2 years old. We split between fresh food and kibble, and are no strangers to giving medications to our dogs.

About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality. Growing up, I had dogs, cats, a pig, and a variety of small animals, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. For more than 20 years, I've provided pet and house sitting for friends and family, caring for everything from farm animals to energetic puppies, senior pets, and cats. I'm comfortable with pets who have special needs and have experience administering medications, including oral medications, allergy injections, and insulin shots. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care for your pets. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, drop-in visits, or overnight in-home care, I can accommodate a variety of schedules while making sure they receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care. When you're away, I'll treat your pets and your home with the same respect, patience, and love that I would my own. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I work from home full time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable drop in visits, midday walks, and in home pet sitting throughout the week. Because I work remotely, I'm able to be flexible with visit times and can give your pets the attention and companionship they deserve. While I don't offer boarding, I'm happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel most secure. Your pet's safety and well being are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to follow your care instructions closely. Whether it's administering medications (if needed), maintaining feeding schedules, reinforcing training, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence, I strive to make your pet feel safe and cared for. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

The dogs typically spend the day with us but when we aren’t home we put them outside in a kennel.

About: I have been a dog mom for the past ten years, and a pet sitter for friends and family for the past 5 years. My boys are 7year old and 10 month old golden retriever brothers Zeus and Percy. Golden retrievers embody the phrase ‘gentle giants’ and they have provided me the sweetest companionship. I enjoy taking them on walks and nature hikes locally, watching them go absolutely bananas at the beach, dressing them in matching outfits, and trying to teach them to share their toys. I am comfortable with a wide variety of breeds, and have experience with specialized diets, medications and many ‘quirks’! I’m currently a SAHM in the Lincolnton area. I have pretty open availability for pet care throughout my day with a courtesy 3 day notice provided. Regular feedings including dietary preferences. Stimulating walks with plenty of sniff stops! Sensory play including color appropriate toys to encourage playtime. Grooming if needed, cuddles and snuggles!

I do it all to ensure the well-being of every pet I care for.

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!

About: Love & caring for animals isn't for just anyone & everyone. It takes dedication, love, knowledge & patience. My Aunt has a farm that I spent most of my summers growing up. So my love for all animals grew even more from dogs & cats to goats, horses, pigs, horses and my favorite, Rabbits! I was dog walking bathing,sitting and just loving them around age 12. Whatever my neighbors,family & friends needed for their furr babies I would be there to love & care for them. I do have some training abilities but no expert. I know how hard it is to leave your babies & I promise to always communicate, video chat with your furr baby whenever you need. Any special requests your pets needs I'll be there for them. ***IMPORTANT**Please Read***Future clients to know ***I also base my fees on miles driven to clients home, large breed dogs etc... So the price can be adjusted if needed ... Other Example.... Overnight stays, walking, bathing etc . For reasons of me having to leave home to run errands, pay bills etc... I do prefer dogs to be crate trained if possible. I have a fenced in yard with 2 dogs... Bella she's half Mastiff/German Shepherd. Bella & Bear are both create trained. Bear is a Pomeranian that belongs to my daughter. 1 cat "Sparky" Tabby that thinks he's King!!! Currently I do my own schedule, and . So my time will hopefully be available when your furr babies need. I do have other side jobs I do. So I can work around most things for care of your furr baby. (Rates can change depending on the mileage.) I have new fenced in backyard. 1 female dog Bella. She is half mastiff/German Shepherd & rescued her as a pup. Then 1 Tabby Cat Sparky who thanks he's the king! Pomeranian named Bear that behind to my daughter.

FAQs for Dog Walking - High Shoals

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 4,545 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across High Shoals. 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 your High Shoals. 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 High Shoals.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 High Shoals. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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 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.
