“Natalia has been great with our two dogs! They are normally pretty anxious but have warmed right up to her!! She is on time, communicates well, and takes cute pictures of the boys :) We will definitely continue using her for future visits!”
About: As an experienced dog owner of medium and large sized dogs, and a lover of little dogs, I can offer loving companionship and care for your pet. I also have a lot of experience with senior dogs and those recovering from surgeries and can assist with those needs as well. I have plenty of time to take care of your pet any day of the week, between 9:00am - 5:00pm. If different hours are needed, we can discuss that. For pet care in your home, I will follow any instructions you have for their care and comfort. A typical visit would include a potty break/walk, a treat, and a little time petting them and telling them what a good and lovely baby they are. If feeding or medication is needed that can also be handled during my visit.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life and i would also help my family take care of, and also babysit many of our animals. I worked as a part-time groomer for a little under a year i’m also very active with my own cats and dog. I am currently doing part time virtual school, so I have plenty of time to make sure you’re pets are well taken care of and loved. I have a large yard where they can run and play with tones of toys. We also have 2 friendly dogs they can play with while they are here.
About: Our family has a dauschaund for 15 years that passed in August. She was provided so much love and care. I'm not afraid to help feel meds to your pup to keep them happy and healthy. We now have two pomeranian/ chihuahua mixes. One is about half way through his training to be a service dog and hopefully a therapy dog. He loves learning and putting that work vest on. His sister is a year younger and lives to play and snuggle. We loved boarding our friends dog, and both Rupert and Mabel get along with their pup friends. And they all love running around our fully fenced backyard. Our family has also had cats off and on for over 20 years. While I know they are laid back and are happy with an empty litter box and a full food bowl, they like getting the extra love and attention to. So whether it's with a toy on a stick, balls on the ground, or even some gentle pets they need love while your away also. I would love to help care for your four legged family member. While in my care, they would be treated like one of the family. I currently work part-time from home. I would be available to help your four legged family member before 7am and after 12 noon. The only other thing that keeps me busy is the training with Rupert, and playing and snuggling with Mabel, but it's flexible. I am asking to care for smaller dogs only because of some medical restrictions. With a small dog I will have no problem walking them, cleaning up after them, and crating if needed. But most of all I will be able to play with them to help burn off energy.

About: Hello! I am a new sitter here, and looking to help provide the care, attention, and love your pup needs! Big or small, shy or hyper, I am here to tend all of your pup’s needs! I am a previous dog owner of 2 amazing pups of my own, Gizeylle (Black Lab & Australian Shepherd 16yrs) and Spike (Rednose Staffordshire Terrier 8yrs) who have both crossed the rainbow bridge. With that being said, spending time with other dogs has been healing and therapeutic for me during my own grieving process. I am experienced in handling dogs of different breeds, temperaments, sizes, AND ages. I will treat your baby like one of mine. ❤️ I have pretty open availability, as I have been laid off, so I have much free time for check-ins, walks, and sitting. Please inquire on the availability needed for your pup. I have a large yard with space for your pup to sunbathe in. My yard is not fenced, so they will need to come with a leash and collar/harness. Please bring your pup’s bed, crate, etc. for their own comfort.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was always the sibling who took the lead in caring for our family dogs, from feeding and walking to playtime and plenty of cuddles. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to Navi, my lovable Pitsky (Pitbull/Husky mix), so I’m very comfortable caring for larger, energetic breeds. As a pediatrician, compassion, patience, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. I bring those same qualities to caring for animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every furry friend with the same love, gentleness, and attention I give my own. Your pup will be in caring, attentive hands! I’ve recently relocated to North Carolina and have a flexible schedule before returning to my full-time career as a pediatrician. This gives me plenty of availability to dedicate to your furry family members! I’m currently available for weekday and weekend walks, drop-in visits, and overnight boarding in my home. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, an overnight stay, or some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of companionship, exercise, and personalized care to make sure your furry bestie feels right at home! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! I treat every dog as if they were my own, with plenty of love, cuddles, belly rubs, and treats (with your permission, of course!). I enjoy taking dogs on walks, providing lots of exercise and playtime, and making sure energetic pups have opportunities to burn off that extra energy. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and videos so you can feel reassured and stay connected with your furry bestie while you’re away! I carefully follow all feeding schedules, routines, medications, and special instructions because I know every dog has unique needs. Above all, I want your pup to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care!

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and understand that every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for while their family is away. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small pets, providing personalized care based on each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s feeding, administering basic medications, daily walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply offering companionship and plenty of cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important consistency is, so I strive to maintain your pet’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your beloved companion in someone else’s care. That’s why I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. My goal is simple: to give your pet a fun, safe, and loving experience while giving you confidence that they’re in caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and am self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long hours. Because I manage my own schedule, I can easily accommodate a pet’s specific needs and routine. Whether your pet enjoys active play, regular walks, or simply having someone nearby for comfort and attention, I’m able to give them consistent care and supervision throughout the day. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away—just like they’re part of the family. I care for every pet as if they were a member of my own family. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets receive a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, meals according to their schedule, and lots of affection. I work from home, so I’m able to provide frequent supervision and companionship throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and bedtime routines while also keeping your home clean and respected. I provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to make your pet feel loved, safe, and stress-free until you’re back 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 South Gastonia. 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 South Gastonia 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Gastonia. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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.
