“Took such great care of our pup over a weekend. She was very happy and made a new friend! Great communicator, kept me updated throughout, lots of pics. Thank you Justin!”

About: Hi, I'm Andrew! I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life! I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, played baseball for 16 years both Varsity Highschool as well as Travel ball and in 2019 moved up here to North Carolina for my dads retirement and to be close to his side of the family. I recently worked at PetSmart for about a year and took care of many exotic pets on the daily! Whatever your needs are, pets are a breeze for me and you are more than welcome to message me your requests and we will work something out. Thank you and may God guide your spirit in Jesus name, amen!!! I always prioritize pets necessities and desires and have a job that allows me to work remotely while I take care of your pets at the same time!!! I also own a cat myself who I love and adore with all my soul lol. I would take your pet for a walk daily to ensure their built up energy is being used as well as give them special play time! However many times your animal takes to use the bathroom I will ensure happens and accommodate any preferences they have and are needed. I love to lay and cuddle with animals so if that’s something your pet loves, I’m all for it!

About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by dogs and understand the deep bond we share with them. Dogs aren't just pets to me - they are family. As a stay-at-home mom, I am incredibly fortunate to be home throughout the day. This means your pup will never be left alone for long hours, and I have all the time in the world to give them the continuous love, attention and companionship they deserve. My family and I recently experienced the profound loss of our beloved pups, including my 17 1/2 year old dachshund and our beautiful Scottish Terrier, both of whom fought brave battles with cancer. We deeply miss the joy, energy and presence of animals in our home. I have so much love left to give and I want to dedicate the time and affection to keeping your pups happy, safe and completely spoiled while you are away. I am a stay-at-home mom. So because I am home during the day, your dog's routine won't be disrupted. I am here to provide timely potty breaks, structured feeding schedules, walks and constant supervision. Because we don't currently have any pets, your dog will receive 100% of our household's attention, cuddles and care. I know exactly how hard it is to trust someone else with your furry family member. Because I've been in your shoes, I prioritize clear communication, daily photo updates and absolute respect for your dog's established routines. Every pup has different needs and I'm always happy to discuss them with you so we can make sure your furry family member receives the best possible care wherever they feel most comfortable.

About: I’ve had 2 cats that I’ve taken care of my whole life. Sadly they are both gone now so I am looking to provide love to someone else’s pet while they are away. I also currently have a chinchilla so I have experience with small animals/rodents. I have also pet sat for family friends with dogs. I recently left my corporate job and wanted to spend this time doing what I enjoy most, spending time with animals! My schedule is pretty flexible and open. I can also do overnight care. I’ve moved back home with my mom so unfortunately I can’t board/watch any pets at my house but I can watch/do overnights at yours. I am very responsible and will send you updates on your fur baby if that is something that interests you!
About: I have owned and loved dogs for my entire life and have years of experience handling, raising, caring for, and training dogs of my own.

I can’t wait to meet your fur babies!!

I am very intentional about ensuring the safety of the pets I care for. Your pet will be given my undivided attention while in my care.
“India took wonderful care of our fur baby! She was communicative during the scheduling process and responds quickly to messages. She gave us updates along the way, sent photos, and even left a cute thank you card and adorable Polaroid of our pup! We would highly recommend her to anyone in the Charlotte area looking for someone to care for their dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends pets for years now and have always loved it since I’m an animal lover at heart. I’ve taken care of everything from high energy pups to bearded dragons!

“Nikki walked our two large Doodles every day for a week while my wife and I were away. She had good communication, was reliable, and great with the dogs. We will definitely use her again.”


About: I’ve been pet sitting for approximately 8 years, beginning in middle school when I started helping my mom care for pets in our community. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs. I provide dependable, loving care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, feeding, administering basic medications, playtime, or overnight stays, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away from home. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and am able to accommodate pet care visits throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day. I am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting, and I do my best to adjust my schedule with advance notice when needed. I am reliable, consistent, and always communicate clearly about my availability so pet parents know what to expect. environment in every visit. I always follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while their owner is away. I pay close attention to detail, keep doors and entry points secure, and treat every home with respect. I also make sure pets are supervised during visits and receive patient, attentive care based on their individual needs and personality. My goal is to create a safe and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

“Gina did great with our dogs! Rey and Daisey absolutely loved her. She took them on long walks, fed them, and gave them water. We loved the photos from the walks and the updates. Highly recommend her!”

“Emmerson was absolutely wonderful! She was so responsive and flexible, especially since we reached out just the day before. She even met me that evening, which made me feel so much more at ease knowing he’d be in such good hands. She took him on a nice, long walk, and he seemed so comfortable with her. He ended up sleeping the rest of the afternoon while I was away. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals through both pet sitting and babysitting in family homes, where pets were always part of the daily routine. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a gentler approach. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I’m attentive to routines and understand how important consistency is for your pet’s well-being. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—giving them patience, love, and reliable care you can trust. I’m flexible and reliable, fitting pet care into my daily routine with scheduled walks, playtime, feeding, and attention, ensuring your dog gets consistent love and care every day. I provide a safe, loving environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. I build trust, follow routines, and ensure every animal feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared-for.
About: My childhood was full of animals and people who loved them. Naturally, I gained daily experience with my Grandma’s many poodles, rottweilers, and boxers. I was asked to pet sit often, and invited to work at a family member’s pet grooming business. Pet ownership began for me when I brought home Nibbler, my pet ferret. I took the role of an exotic pet owner very seriously; lots of research, weird tubes throughout my home, and sadly delicate handling of health issues but still, lots of whimsy to create the good life I know I gave him. He gave me much more though. So did all the other animals in my life and I’m eager to continue to show my gratitude while caring for yours. I’m an active and excitable individual. Easy-going, I like naps, and playful company. Yes, I have puppy “energy”. :) my days feel natural when I have a four legged companion to share the routine of meals, play, exercise and enrichment. I have an apartment in a safe and walkable community. My space will include a dog bed, some toys, and food/water bowls. Along with a fenced dog park my community has a public park where we can soak in some sun on cooler days and get stimuli outside the apartment.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy! I have a cat of my own, Archie, and a dog, Stella, who are completely spoiled, and I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities and needs. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their people are away. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, likes, and boundaries rather than treating every visit the same. Whether your pet wants to play, cuddle, go for a walk, or simply have someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the attention they need. I’m responsible, attentive, patient, and will treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐶🐱💕 I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around the needs of your pets. I’m happy to coordinate visits, walks, playtime, feeding, and other care around your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, maintain their normal routines, and treat your home with respect. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and needs and will always communicate with you if anything seems unusual.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Waxhaw is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per walk.

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 Waxhaw. 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 Waxhaw 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.

- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
