“Jordan did a great job in taking care of my fur baby. She left me detailed notes and cleaned up a mess that my dog left behind when she didn’t have to. Would definitely recommend and will use her again.”

About: I work from home and would love an excuse to get up from my desk and what better excuse than to get some puppy and dog cuddles while also getting exercise by walking. I currently have a corporate work from home job that requires me to be at a desk. This type of schedule fits into my routine because it allows me to visit pets before starting work, at lunch or breaks, and also after work. My schedule is very flexible that I can meet you where you need it. I am very detail oriented and a huge pet lover at heart so when I am visiting your house, I respect the house rules and follow instructions to a T. I also am very high energy due to ADHD and am a great partner for fetch and walks.
“Hope was incredible with our little one! We traveled over the holiday and were a little worried as this was the first time we would be away during the Christmas holiday. Hope was consistent in communication and sent the best pictures. We highly recommend booking with Hope!!”
“Cassandra was so kind and helpful and followed my somewhat confusing directions flawlessly! She kept in contact and updated me as needed. I can’t wait to have her sit/walk my pup again!”
“I highly recommend Christie! After booking her for several dog walks, I will absolutely become a repeat customer. My Australian Shepherd loved her from the start. Christie was flexible with walk time, communicative, a good listener, and knowledgeable about dog behavior. She truly prioritizes the well being of pups in her care.”

Walking on or off leash, feeding, and medicine are no problem at any age or temperament.

Thanks Jane!”
About: I was born into a family of animal lovers and have never known life without pets. Over the years, my family has cared for 15+ animals, including dogs, cats and other small pets giving me lifelong experience with animals of different ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs. Today, I help care for our two dogs and am the primary caregiver for our three cats, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that pets need to feel safe and happy. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, providing daily exercise, and making sure dogs receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, or simply enjoys having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently taking a gap year before starting school and am part time self-employed, so pet care is one of my main priorities. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and most holidays. I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible and will always keep my availability up to date. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll carefully follow all of your instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications and any special care your pet may need. I’ll also make sure your home is respected by keeping things clean, secure and exactly as you left them. Since I have pets of my own, I currently only offer services in clients’ homes. This allows me to give your pet my full attention while keeping both your pets and mine comfortable and stress-free. I’ll always provide dependable care, plenty of affection and regular photo and text updates so that you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so I pride myself on clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet as if they were my own.
“Erica is AMAZING. She is so good with our dog and definitely keeps him active! She really maintains our training regimen and enforces what we’ve been working on with the dog. She’s our new go-to for walks and exercise!”
“I know my baby is in good hands when Samantha comes to walk him! She always keeps me updated with pictures along the way and is very communicative. I am very thankful for her walking my baby while I’m working long hours.”
About: I've taken care about my pet dog since I was 6 years old. After that I kept taking care of my friend's, neighbors' pets. They relied on me to walk their dogs, to look after their cats. I also can take care of horses. Since I've been doing horse riding for four years at the age of 16. I'm currently working part-time. Moreover, my hours are flexible, hence I can walk your pups almost at anytime! Usually it's better to let me know in advance. But in case of any emergencies I also will be able to help you! I live in a private house. I have no pets so far. So I can spend time with your pets fully. I love active walks.
“Erin is extremely reliable, very knowledgeable and safe with my reactive dog. It gives me so much peace of mind to know Indie is happy, safe and well cared for with Erin while I’m away.”
About: Hi! I’m a high school teacher, trail enthusiast, and proud fur mom to a rescue pup named Sherlock. When I’m not grading biomedical labs or herding students through science experiments, you’ll find me in the mountains chasing the next hiking/biking trail, chasing Sherlock around the backyard playing fetch or relaxing on the couch with Sherlock, watching Sherlock Homes! As someone who knows the juggling act of a busy schedule and a beloved pet, I’m here to help make your life easier with drop-in visits and dog walking that feel more like playdates than chores! Whether your pup needs a brisk walk to burn off zoomies or a midday check-in full of tail wags and treats, I’ve got it covered. Cat parents, I see you too! I’m gentle, patient, and totally fluent in “cat” whether that means lap cuddles, feather wand marathons, or just keeping the food bowl filled to royal standards. I know every fur baby has their own personality, and I make it my mission to meet them where they are. I’m family-oriented, active, and passionate about animals of all kinds. Charlotte is my playground, and I love exploring its parks, neighborhoods, and pet-friendly spots. If your pet likes fresh air and good vibes, we’ll be fast friends. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your four-legged family member (and spoil them a little, too). I do have some flexibility as a teacher! I have summers off, most holidays, and some random days here and there. I get out early afternoon so I do have availability from early afternoon until nights. Weekends I am available any time typically. I will make sure your fur baby gets all the love and attention they needs! If it is to get some zoomies out, be fed, play time, and maybe a few extra belly rubs!
About: Although I don’t have any pets of my own (only chickens) I love all dogs!! And I did have a family dog growing up that we sadly lost. I pet sit for my friends and boyfriend occasionally and love to go on long walks! I am a part time student and also work as a certified pharmacy technician. Whenever I am free I like to go on walks and enjoy nature! Your dogs safety is just as important to you as it is to me! I carry pepper spray w me just in case and stay off my phone to avoid any distractions.

Sydney is simply amazing! She is incredibly responsive, friendly, reliable. She came over to meet us and our dog prior to caring for her and we really appreciated that effort. She happily walked her on short notice and took great photos and was so communicative the entire time. We will definitely be asking for Sydney’s help anytime we need it in the future! Highly recommend her for any of your pet needs.
Yelyzaveta took wonderful care of my dog Blaze during her walks. Blaze was so happy to see her come that she would jump at the door. Yelyzaveta was professional and friendly. And I would definitely recommend her for dog walking. I would book her again should I need a dog walker.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Absolutely Fantastic Dog Walker Molly has been incredible with my dog, Draco. She is reliable, caring, and always goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy, exercised, and well-looked-after. Draco absolutely loved his time with her, and it gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands each day. Her communication has always been excellent—updates, pictures, and notes that showed she truly cared. Even on busy days or last-minute changes, she was flexible and professional. I’m genuinely grateful for everything she’s done for us. Atlanta is lucky to have her, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate dog walker. Thank you again for everything…you will be missed!

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 Matthews. 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 Matthews.

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 Matthews. On Rover:
- 94% 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.
