About: I currently have a 4 year old Belgian Malinois. I used to accompany my sister when she started dog sitting, and as I have gotten older, I've branched out to dog sit on my own. I have gained recognition for my attention to detail, being compatible with most dogs, dog sitting for multiple breeds, caring for senior dogs, and handling pet medication with care. I have an incredibly flexible schedule to be there for your loved pets anytime! Being an owner myself, it feels second nature to care for your pets with love and care. Pertaining to my everyday schedule, I currently work remotely with an incredibly flexible schedule. I will care for your pets with consistent love, care, and attention. If you book with me, I appreciate your trust to allow me to be in your home and to take care of your loved pets.

About: •I have had animals all my life and have plenty of experience (fish, birds, cats, dogs, a rabbit) •I currently have 2 dogs & 2 cats at this time. Zeus is an American bully and Teddy is a Lab mix. Zeus is 1 and teddy is only a few months old but growing like a weed. They both love other dogs and playing but if needed I can keep mine separated with a baby gate in the dining room. The cats are a brother and sister pair from the shelter named Naruto & Peach. •I have house sat for my brother and taken care of his dogs ( a Rottweiler and a pitbull) as well as my mom (another American bully) •I do work from home so I am available 24/7 for your fur baby, they are never left alone! •I do have two small children so if your fur baby doesn’t like children please reconsider (kids will not be allowed to mess with them or annoy them any way but I wanted to be upfront) •Any other questions feel free to ask! I work M-Th but I work from home so I am always around and available if needed, I can step away easily if it’s needed. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but we do live very rural so we don’t have to worry about dogs running into the road or running away… My dogs do pretty well with being off a leash and being watched but I know others aren’t comfortable with their dogs being out like that so a leash can be used as well.

Alison came to our rescue with a last minute booking and she was great with both of my pups. One is very anxious and slow to warm up to people but warmed up to her really quick! Will definitely use her in the future :)

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my entire life and even teach the strangest animals (high schoolers) during the year. Currently trying to survive the summer by doing something I love which hopefully will be relaxing with your pets! I’m currently on summer break so my schedule is VERY flexible. I love to work and have a schedule and routine. Nothing is more routine than pet care! My personal dog is spoiled rotten. I plan to give your pets the same attention I give mine! I take my Grace on daily walks, car trips, and to get pup cups weekly. Whatever your pets needs are, I’ll make them happen!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover based on a 10-acre homestead in Pageland, SC. I specialize in structured, safe boarding with supervised outdoor time and secure indoor accommodations. We have a brand-new 6-foot wooden privacy fence enclosing our backyard, providing a secure area for dogs to exercise, stretch, and explore during supervised potty breaks and play sessions. Guests stay in our large climate-controlled sunroom outfitted with seven kennels, giving each dog their own secure space to rest comfortably between outdoor time, meals, and enrichment. Crate rotation and routine breaks are built into our daily schedule, ensuring dogs have consistency and predictability. Crate & House Access Policy • Crating is standard when we are away or sleeping, and during rest periods. • Potty breaks are offered approximately every 2 hours during waking hours. • For older, calm, fully house-trained, non-destructive, and cat-friendly dogs, free-roam house access may be considered on a case-by-case basis with owner request and compatibility assessment. • Dogs with separation anxiety, destructive tendencies, or unsafe habits (counter-surfing, door-bolting, etc.) will remain on our structured crate schedule for their safety. Experience & Approach I’ve owned and cared for everything from hedgehogs and geckos to chickens, horses, and working-breed dogs. I’m comfortable with: • Medication administration (oral or topical) • Senior dogs • Puppies & house-training stages • Reactive or shy personalities • High-energy dogs who require clear routines • Multi-dog coexistence and safe rotations My husband runs his own business and is home most of the time, ensuring someone is almost always present for supervision, potty break intervals, and routine care. I am home evenings and weekends, and we work together to provide structure, security, and consistent monitoring. What You Can Expect • Individual crate spaces (no shared kennels) • 6-ft fully fenced private yard • Consistent potty break schedule (≈ every 2 hours) • Supervised outdoor time only • Optional house freedom only if fully compatible • Daily updates, photos, and communication We focus on safe, predictable, and tailored care based on each dog’s needs and the comfort level of their owner. Whether a pup thrives with structured crate rest or enjoys calm, supervised sunroom naps, we tailor stays responsibly rather than one-size-fits-all. I work full-time as an insurance producer in Monroe, NC from 8–5, Monday through Friday. I’m home all day on weekends, and during the week, my husband is at our homestead full-time and helps provide care and supervision. Since we work as a team, your pets will never be left alone for long periods. I’m also available for morning or evening drop-ins and walks depending on location and schedule! We live on a peaceful 10-acre homestead. We do not allow free play with other pets - so you know that your furry friend is safe and sound the entire stay! They will have supervised playtime with other pups from the same household, or with just our staff! Our top priority is a safe stay.

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, and everything in between. With hands-on experience in feeding, grooming, training, and holistic wellness, I understand not just how to meet a pet’s needs, but how to truly connect with them. My approach is gentle, intuitive, and rooted in love. Whether it’s managing multiple pets or supporting animals with anxiety or medical needs, I’m dedicated to creating a calm, safe environment where every pet feels at home. I'm available for pretty much anything need. My schedule is very flexible. Throughout the day, I pay close attention to their moods, making time for play, brushing, or just sitting quietly with them when they need comfort. Their well-being is a priority in everything I do, and caring for them brings structure, peace, and purpose to my day. When I care for other people’s animals, I treat them like they’re my own—with patience, gentleness, and full attention. I take time to learn their routines, personalities, and needs, so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, playing, or just sitting with a shy pet to help them feel calm, I make sure every moment is rooted in trust and love. I know how much animals mean to their families, and I do everything I can to give them peace of mind.

About: I grew up in a household caring for pets of every kind; cats, dogs, birds! Fish! I currently have a puppy of my own and pet-sit often for friends and family as well! I’m working part time, typically no more than three days a week, and taking online classes this summer for college. My availability is mostly during the week, and occasionally Saturdays, starting at early mornings after I care for my own dog Making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in the absence of their primary caregiver is my top priority. Having a dog who’s wary of strangers, I understand and am completely committed to doing what I was hired to do and making sure pets get the care they deserve no matter the level of introversion or anxiety.

About: For the past 4 years, I’ve provided loving, dependable care for cats, dogs, and birds through overnight stays, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and walks. Cats are my specialty! I’m very experienced with feline behavior, shy cats and multi-cat households. I love making pets feel calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and routines, including daily walks, companionship, and overnight care. In addition, I have hands on experience with tropical birds and understand the importance of patience, consistency and attention to detail when caring for exotic pets. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every animal! I take my time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I am reliable, communicative, and committed to making pet parents feel confident while they’re away through regular updates and attentive care. I am currently a part-time worker at a local pharmacy and a Full-Time college student looking to make extra money while doing what I love. I am free at least 3-4 days a week, the more notice the better I can work around your preferred schedule. My preference is afternoons, however if mornings or nights are needed I can accommodate! I am more free during week days but can make time on weekends around my work schedule as I typically only work 5-6 hour shifts. I currently can not offer my personal living quarters for care, however I am able to travel up to 40 miles to stay with or check on pets. If you are in need of someone urgently and live outside a 40 mile radius please message me directly and I may be able to still work with you! I will walk, feed, stay with, play with and care for various cats and dog breeds! I also have experience with tropical birds and fish if need be.

About: At the humane society, I had the opportunity to care for dogs of all shapes and sizes, each with their own unique needs and personalities. Their care required gentle handling and tailored diets to ensure their delicate health. Throughout my time, I also handled a variety of mixed breeds, each with its own temperament and care requirements. This variety kept each day interesting and taught me to adapt quickly to the needs of different dogs. Whether it was administering medication, providing enrichment, or simply offering a comforting presence, I gained a deep understanding of how to cater to a wide range of canine needs. I’m currently working part time, since I’m a student in college, I’ll be available to work around 1 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On Tuesdays around 2 pm. I understand how important your dog is to you, and I'm committed to providing the best care possible. I've had extensive experience with various dogs. I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide and keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos to ensure you feel at ease while you're away. Your dog's comfort and safety are my top priorities.

About: Loving and dependable dog walker with a big heart for furry friends and a true passion for what I do! I adore spending time with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, making sure each pup gets plenty of attention, exercise, and tail-wagging fun while their humans are away. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic adventure, I focus on creating a safe, happy, and stress-free experience for every pet in my care. With a natural understanding of canine behavior and open, friendly communication, I build strong bonds with both dogs and their owners—so you can feel completely at ease knowing your beloved pet is in caring, trustworthy hands. I am currently self-employed as a furniture refinisher so my availability is pretty flexible. All I ask for is a little advance notice, if possible at least a day, for a booking or cancelation. I'm more than happy to send you photo/video updates of our adventures while your away so that you know your loved one(s) in good hands!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Polkton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,046 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Polkton. 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 Polkton. 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 Polkton.

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 Polkton. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
