About: I’ve had a variety of animals in my home and loved them all my life! I love serving animals and providing them with the upmost respect and care. I’m a veterinary assistant so I have vast knowledge about cat & dogs medical needs. I can confidently administer medications, including insulin. I can provide care almost anytime on Mondays and Friday’s. I work Tuesday-Thursday 10 hour shifts but could potentially provide care after work at 6pm. Reach out about weekend availability. I have two very sweet cats at home that do well with other dogs. I have a “fear free” approach to care provided in your home, including animal pheromone therapy, patience/gradient touch, food motivation, respect of boundaries and positive vibes.
About: I’ve raised 2 dogs of my own since they were puppies and one is now a senior. I have received many compliments of being the best dog mom but I am also a very attentive and responsible pet sitter. I have taken care of cats and dogs alike and I truly love and care for them like they are my own. I have plenty of time to care for your pets during the day or evening. I am more of a morning person for sure but I am very flexible. I have a fenced in front and back yard which makes it easy to let dogs outside. I am also very active so walking or running is no problem.
About: I have patience love and care for all Animals not matter the animals. Animals are special to me!!!! Love them! Treat them like family always I had cats growing up. All the way to adult hood. I have the patience to deal with them and know what they need anytime they need it I treat everyone’s home like it’s mine. With respect, dignity and make sure it’s always locked up and just the way it was when I arrived!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. From a variety of small to big dogs. My friends and family rely on me to keep them during vacation and for some play time when they like to have a break. My weekly pet care routine is fun because I mix responsibility with play. I keep feeding and grooming on a consistent schedule, but I add variety with walks in different places, new toys, and short training games. It helps my pet stay happy and keeps the routine from feeling repetitive. I make sure everything is cleaned and organized so my furry baby is not getting into mess. I keep the doors closed when not in the room. Everything is puppy proofed.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I work alongside veterinarians in my career, which has given me hands on experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. Caring for animals is more than a job, it’s something I truly love. I also enjoy pet photography and would be happy to take professional quality photos of your furry friend during their stay! I work Monday through Friday with my afternoons free to spend with your pet. Since I start work early boarding pets get outside for a potty break first thing each morning. I live alone in my own condo with plenty of safe outdoor space nearby for walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. Your pet will enjoy a calm, comfortable environment with lots of one on one attention.

About: This isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I find joy in every walk, cuddle, and tail wag, and that passion shows in the way I care for each dog. I’m currently a college student who enjoys pet care is part of my everyday routine. I make time for walks, feeding, and play to keep pets happy and comfortable. - Caring for pets in clients home, I will follow the pet’s normal routine with feeding, walks, play, and potty breaks to keep them comfortable in their own space. - Caring for pets in my home, I will provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. - Caring for pets during drop in visit, I will make sure they feel safe and trusted by me :) but I’ll also make sure to provide fresh food and water, clean up when needed, and spend quality time playing or giving them attention so they don’t feel alone.

About: I used to work in a Petshotel taking care of dogs and cats. I have a passion for making animals happy and providing them the the proper care they need. I can administer medications in a variety of ways and have been able to monitor multiple dogs at once during playtimes. I have had 10 dogs in my lifetime, and I can't wait to meet even more. I ask that I meet every pet before hand to make sure we will be a good fit before providing services. I recently graduated with my masters, so I am on the hunt for a full time job. Currently my availability is fully open, but is subject to change later. I had dog-sat many of times before and am extremely respectful of other's property and how they choose to take care of their pet. I like to send pictures of people's pets to them while they are away so they can relax knowing they are in good care.
About: My approach to pet care is rooted in adaptability. Whether providing a high-intensity trek for an energetic puppy or a gentle, patient stroll for a senior companion, I tailor every outing to the specific needs of the breed and temperament. With a personal daily average of 15,000 steps, I am undeterred by the elements and committed to maintaining your pet's routine with professional consistency. From powerful working breeds to delicate companions, I provide a reliable, high-standard experience for every dog in my care. Pet care is my primary focus, allowing me to offer exceptionally flexible and open availability for your feline and canine companions. Because I do not have a traditional 9-to-5 commitment, I am able to fully integrate into your pet’s established schedule, ensuring they receive meals, exercise, and attention exactly when they expect them. I pride myself on being a reliable, full-time presence, undeterred by early mornings or late evenings, to maintain the consistency your pet needs to thrive while you are away. I exclusively offer care within the comfort and familiarity of your own home to minimize stress for your pets. I approach pet sitting with a high level of diligence and a detail-oriented mindset, taking the responsibility of following your specific household routines and safety protocols very seriously. Whether it is adhering to a precise medical regimen, maintaining strict leash safety during our walks, or providing quiet, intuitive companionship for your cats, my goal is to provide a secure, high-standard environment where your pet feels prioritized and safe.
About: I work fully from home and since I will be home more this year, I'd love to care for your pets! I have experience with petsitting on rover during my college years, both with boarding and drop-ins, and have house-sat in the past couple of years outside of Rover. I have 3 cats myself but I have also had pets since I was a child including a dog, horse, and chinchilla. For house sitting my partner and I are both available for overnights, especially with multiple dogs. I am a remote worker and have the flexibility to adjust my schedule as needed throughout the day for check-ins or housesitting and petsitting stays. I will treat your pets like my own. I wash my cats bowls every day after they eat, fill up their water and make sure it's clean, keep the litter clean, and make sure to play with them and give them enough attention. For dogs I will also make sure to regularly let them out, or walk them. I'm also a plant mom and can water your plants if needed.
About: Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile. I hope you find what you are looking for here, and please feel free to reach out if you have further inquiries. I typically to respond to customers (both present and potential!) within 30 minutes between the hours of 7 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. My name is Samm, I am 29 years old & live in downtown Kannapolis, and I'm the licensed & insured sitter you've been searching for! While there are many great sitters on Rover, what sets me aside from others is I am licensed and insured (privately- beyond the "Rover Guarantee"). Your safest and most secure bet for your pet will always be with me- check out my reviews! I have been professionally using Rover since 2015. I built my client base in Charlotte and loved every single one of my clients- both pups and parents. I took a hiatus due to COVID and moved from south Charlotte to Kannapolis, and am now opening my services back up to welcome in new clients in the area. While many Rover sitters specialize in dogs, I have experience with all walks of life when it comes to pets- dogs, cats, fish (saltwater and freshwater tanks), birds (including fowl such as chickens, geese, ducks, etc.), reptiles and amphibians (yes even snakes!) so rest assured that whatever pets you have, they will be in loving and experienced hands when in my care. While I am not a paid dog trainer, I do love to work with my clients puppies (young and old) on reinforcing their training as per their parents desires. This ranges from crate training to leash pulling to general obedience, and everything in between. I understand that as a pet parent, you know best for your pup and their home environment. Please do not be afraid to add in special "requests" as such when booking with me. I have a vast amount of experience with senior dogs and dogs who live with disabilities. I am able to administer medications in a timely manner (pills, liquids, and injections) when required, and I am trained in first aid in the event of an emergency. I am currently studying engineering and have a flexible schedule outside of my studies. I would love to fill my spare time doting on your pets! 9 times out of 10, I am able to arrange to accommodate your schedule when given a sufficient notice. I am currently no longer offering overnights or daycare to new clients at my home, as we now have chickens and ducks as pets in our backyard. While our birds are acclimated and unphased by our dogs, there is always a possibility that our birds can trigger a prey drive in unacquainted dogs. While I can survive the heartache of losing a chicken (EVERYTHING hunts chickens around here!), chicken bones can pose a very serious and potentially deadly threat to dogs when ingested. So, for everyone's safety, I am currently only offering services outside of my home. As such, I am available for drop-in visits in your home, walks, as well as house sitting. Please read on for what you can expect out of each type of visit in your home, and as always, reach out at any time for further information if needed. Walks: I offer 30 minute or 1 hour walks. This service is perfect for those who work or are out of the house, but need someone to help with making sure their pet gets exercise and a potty break. 30 minute walks are typically 0.5 miles to 1 mile in distance, sometimes more or less depending upon your dogs size and energy levels. A 1 hour walk is usually ~2 miles. During these visits, my main priority is getting your dog outside and nicely tired out so you can enjoy your day uninterrupted. I will make sure your dog gets a potty break while we are out, so all you have to worry about afterwards is where your dog wants to take their nap :) Drop-In Visits: I currently offer 30 minute and 1 hour drop-in visits. This is typically what an owner will book me for if they are out of town and need a sitter to drop in and make sure the household and pets are doing well. During this time, my first priority is medication administration, if applicable. Second to that in priority is ensuring your pup gets to relieve themselves. Please specify if you prefer your dog use your yard, or if you would like for us to take a stroll around the neighborhood. I take 15-20 minutes of walk or backyard play for 30 minute visits, and about 30-40 minutes for hour visits. The remainder of my visit will be to replenish food and water, give treats, pets, and attention, and clean up any messes that may have occurred. Please note that this is MY general outline- if you have a different routine you'd like me to follow that works better for you and your pet, simply notify me of such and I will be more than happy to follow your procedures. House Sitting: I will be staying overnight in your home and provide daily care and company for your pets and home. I will provide my own food, toiletries, personal items, etc., so you will only have to worry about and focus on gathering what your pet needs while you are away. Please note that I will not be at your home 24 hours a day. I will likely have to leave for class or to tend to my pets at home. If you need constant care at home for your pet, I am able to arrange for that to happen at an additional cost- please just let me know in your original booking inquiry. With a house sitting booking, you can expect me to perform all the everyday activities your pet requires. This includes timely administration of medications, sticking to your desired feeding routine, and as many walks and playtimes as you desire. Please let me know the desired duration of walks/play as I do not want to overexert your pet, or alternatively, not give them enough exercise. Light housekeeping will be performed- plants will be watered, mail will be taken in daily, sweeping/vacuuming fur and dirt, and general cleaning up after your pet in the event of messes. I make sure that your home is in the same or better condition as when you left it. I do not smoke or drink and will not be bringing unauthorized persons onto your property. Typically I send one update (accompanied by pet photos) per day around the afternoon. If you would like more- no problem! Just inform me of such and I am happy to keep you as much in-the-loop as you desire.
About: I have always been around various animals growing up, and personally had cats and dogs in my family who were/are practically my “fur” siblings, who I helped care for. At 15 I started watching other people’s pets when they would go out of town for the night or weekend. I still help care for my parent’s pets, including my 15-year-old pit-lab mix who just likes to relax and has to take certain medicines, and a 2-year-old cat who thinks she’s still a kitten and is highly energetic. I personally have two cats too, and I still regularly pet sit for various animals of various ages for friends and family! I am currently working full time in the Charlotte area but if I have enough notice I am able to work from home for house sitting during the day! Otherwise I can do drop ins, night house sittings and weekend house sittings :) I will make sure to get any and all questions or concerns addressed to make sure your pet receives the best care possible while they’re with me, including medications and times for those medications, feeding amounts and times, specific walking areas, certain tasks or expectations needed for your pet, etc.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Kannapolis on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,642 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kannapolis. 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 Kannapolis. 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 Kannapolis.
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 Kannapolis. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
