“Liam is wonderful! Probably the best dog watcher ever! We have entrusted him with our dog twice while on a week-long vacation. Every visit Liam makes, we get a full report and pictures. He truly loves our dog and she loves him. Yay Liam!”
“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.”
“Ana has been doing a great job walking Mabel and taking her to the dog park. She does a really good job, and we will continue to use her moving forward. Thanks Ana!”
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.
About: Growing up, we always had cats and dogs. We treated our animals like family - birthday cakes and birthday presents! My petsitting golden rule is to treat other peoples animals like I would my own! I currently work Monday-Thursday (and occasionally Fridays). I am available for weekend petsitting and evening drop-ins or dog walking. I have all weekend to love on and care for your pets! I live in a townhome with a small back yard for nighttime potty breaks. I have a large neighborhood with pet friendly sidewalks and I am just around the corner from the dog park in my neighborhood! You dog is free to roam around the house, be confined to the kitchen with gates, or be crated if needed - whatever is best for your dog!
About: Since I was a child I naturally love and respect animals. I grew up in a house full of all kind of animals, birds, cats, dogs, parrots, iguanas, we had them all close to us! We shared space and we, me and my family, learned to take care of them. They lived in their natural environment, unleashed, some of them a little too wild. Those were my favorite, the unruly pets are my challenge. The ones living inside our house were the spoiled ones. Neighbors sure thought I was a little crazy because I used to have little conversations with my pets, but also we could share some quite moments during our daily walks, our favorite part of our daily routine. My last pet died at 15 years of age and I thought for long that I wasn't ready to give my soul to another so for now I prefer to overcome my mourning by taking care of others. I'm not currently working, so I have time to play with your pups. I'm available for boarding any time during the week and weekends too I live in an apartment that has a dog walk right out front. I can easly take your baby for a walk every 2 hours.
“Enegul has been great with our pup! She is prompt, has good communication, and takes care of Daisy on walks. Daisy has come home exhausted and happy each time! Thank you for taking care of our girl!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, primarily large dogs up until end of life, as well as cats in the last 6 years. I’ve got extensive experience with these guys, and my love for these animals runs deep! I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule is very flexible for visiting or playing with your pets! The best times to schedule me are between 8am and 8pm, but I am open to other hours with planning in advance. :) I have a screened in yard, as well as 2 crates for small dogs and cats, comfy beds, and toys for them to play with! I also have treats and a dedicated space within my home for them to relax in.
About: My experience working in a veterinary hospital over the years has given me valuable hands on experience caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable handling pets, understanding their individual needs, and recognizing signs that something may be wrong. Whether caring for senior pets, or animals who need a little extra patience and attention, I believe every pet deserves compassionate, attentive care. I treat every animal as if they were my own! I have two pets of my own a large and small breed dog that I care for daily with feedings, making sure they get their daily activities in. They are older but still sharp as a rock. I also used to care for about 8-10 outdoor cats and 4 indoor cats before I moved to North Carolina. I was doing that for about 3 years and loved every second of it. My own pets get fed around the same time every evening, we go for walks over the weekend and during the week if they are up for it. I am very good at keeping them on a schedule, however some days are different and not always the same depending on work and what life decides to throw at me. I will do my best to keep your pets on a schedule if I must and I can take them for walks, play with them, even take naps with them!
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole entire life and have 2 of my own! I have dog sat, pet walked and more for many different people! I also work at an animal hospital. Your baby will be very well loved by me! Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. I just graduated from Clemson University in December! I am now living in Charlotte NC where I have a very flexible schedule. I am available everyday. I am a very reliable source when it comes to taking care of your fur baby! I always am on time, put in extra effort when needed, and more.
About: Hi there! My name is Diya and I’m an experienced dog lover with hands on care from puppyhood all the way through the senior years. My dog has been by my side her whole life, so I’ve navigated everything from puppy zoomies and training to the slower, gentler needs of senior care as she got older. That means I’m comfortable no matter what stage of life your pup is in. ❤️ Since my dog is on the larger side, I’m very comfortable with big dogs, handling leash pulls, playtime energy, and just generally being comfortable around larger breeds. Whether your dog needs an active walk, a calm cuddle session, or just someone who understands their routine, I’d love to help take great care of them! 🐾💓 Drop-ins are preferred but I’ll never turn down the opportunity to chill with your furry friends for a couple hours throughout the day as well! 🏡 Creating a harmonious balance between my furry friends and daily life is my top priority. With a well-structured schedule, I ensure that pet care seamlessly fits into my day, every day. Whether it's early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening snuggle time, your pet's needs will always be met. I understand the importance of consistency and routine for our furry companions, and I'm committed to providing them with a stable and fulfilling environment. Trust me to keep their tails wagging and their hearts content while effortlessly incorporating pet care into my daily routine! Although I live in an house without a fenced yard, rest assured that your cherished pets are in the best hands. Safety and comfort are my utmost priorities when caring for pets, whether it's in my home or your own. In any situation I create a welcoming space with ample room for play, cozy corners for relaxation, and secure boundaries to ensure their well-being. Regular walks and engaging activities are integrated into their stay to provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation. Additionally, with my house being part of a secure community, your furry companions will enjoy an added layer of safety during their time with me.
“I went out of town for two weeks and was unable to bring my dog. Victoria came and walked her two times a day. She also made sure she had food and water. Victoria went above an beyond and took my high energy dog for runs! I was so worried initially about leaving Sophia, but Victorias extra pictures and detailed notes made me feel at ease. She was very easy to contact and kept me in the loop on everything. I will definitely be contacting her for any future trips I have planned!”
“Kortney has been great taking care of my Benji. She is reliable and very accommodating to last minute changes in my work schedule. I would definitely recommend her services.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals and would love to give your dog the exercise they need to live a happy and healthy life. I have a pretty open schedule and can work work around anything to give your pet some exercise. I can do any day of the week and work with your pet’s schedule I always respect the space I am in. I will only do the task at hand and leave the home as I found it. If the pet is in my home, I treat them like one of my own

Jane was a blessing!! Sista thank you! She came in and was patient while my address was acting weird and very understanding to the weather conditions. I was definitely be making sure Jane is my first point of contact. I can’t thank her enough for her jumping in at the last minute and helping me. Reliable, communicative and understanding. Thanks Jane!
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.
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!!

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 Matthews. 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 Matthews 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.

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.
