“Miranda was awesome. She did a great job taking care of our chaotic pups. And she left our apartment is great shape. She was easy to communicate with, and totally willing to do whatever the pups needed. Definitely recommend 10/10.”

She sent me so many pics and updates with added bonuses that made my vacation that much more enjoyable knowing he was in great hands!! She took great care of our home as well. I will book her again and again!!”
“Really prompt and super understanding with some last minute issues. Dogs were perfectly content and the house was exactly as I left it. Would def recommend Alex!”

But Allyson did a wonderful job watching over our house and our fur babies! She sent us daily pictures and updates throughout our time away and definitely put our minds at ease!”
“The best sitter we have used so far on this app! She’s very attentive, listens to all instructions (even the smallest details) and leaves the house in perfect condition upon leaving. My dogs and cats (even the shy ones) love her. Definitely recommend Stephanie!”

About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.
“Tamiya was wonderful with my girl, Kira, when she came and stayed at my house for a few days while I was away. She was very friendly, trustworthy, and communicative. When I needed to shift my plans a bit, she was flexible and willing to work with me, which I greatly appreciated. I am confident that Kira was in great hands while I was away. I definitely recommend Tamiya’s services!”
About: I have experience with walking/running all kinds of dogs as well as providing playtime, feedings, and meds. I am detail oriented and give my all to each service and each pet! I always do my best to go above and beyond, showing your fur baby the love it deserves while you're not able to be there❤️ I have experience with cat sitting as well: litter, filling water and food, play time, etc. I also have a cat, so I'm keen on how to read their cues to avoid conflict and redirect with play time, treats, or whatever they like best. I work 7-5 most days, so I am available for walks in the evening or early morning. I am also available for weekend boardings or sittings from Friday evening through Sunday evening With my cat, I have habits of keeping all foods and breakables out of the way. If your pup or kitty is not friendly to other cats, I can split them in two separate rooms of my apartment which I'm happy to detail further on a case by case basis! I prefer sittings in your own home as it's less stress on your baby, but open to whatever you may need. Communication is my #1 priority along with everyone's safety 🥰
About: YOᑌ ᕼᗩᗪ ᗰE ᗩT ᗷᗩᖇK 𐂯 I've always had a passion for working with animals, and that love has only grown over the years as I've helped family and friends with their furry friends. I was lucky enough to spend three and a half wonderful years at 4 Dogs Pet Supplies, a charming local shop in Charlotte, NC. It was such a joy to meet so many wonderful dog breeds and discover the best products and care practices for our beloved pets. I also got to team up with another small business, where I had the pleasure of caring for both dogs and cats and plants—everything from playful puppies to treasured older pets. Each day was filled with rewarding experiences in animal care! On top of that, I've volunteered at animal shelters and even participated in an amazing equine therapeutic riding program. These experiences have really deepened my commitment to animal well-being and the importance of supporting our community. It's been a truly fulfilling journey! And am very thankful for those who have trusted me with the animals. ✮ I am currently out of school for the summer and have a part-time job, which gives me plenty of availability to help care for your animals. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I am available anytime after 1 PM for walks, drop-ins, or anything else you need. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, I can assist at any time. Let me know how I can help! 𐂯 I always strive to treat animals, plants, and homes with the same love and care I give to my own! My goal is to provide the best care possible for my clients, so I ask plenty of questions to understand their preferences. This helps me create a safe and secure environment while building trust with both the owner and their furry friends.
About: I have lived dog with multiple dogs my whole life. I have 5 years of experience in the veterinary world that has broadened my horizon to the variety of breeds out there and the different requirements they need. I also specialize in medicating medicating our furry friends in the most stress-free way possible. I have experience training my own service dog from 8 weeks old to present and continue to keep his training up to date. I also specialize in hospice care for our are geriatric puppies, because no matter how old they are, they are always puppies to us. I am currently pet sitting for people Part-Time. my goal is to make caring for animals my full-time job. While I continuemaking commissioned pet portraits! Along with other commissions for various prints and paintings. At my house, dogs will eat separately from other dogs for safety and have long line leash walks for potty breaks. If a pet is known to have toy aggression, toys will be taken out of the equation. I do have a service dog that comes with me everywhere including my clients homes. If a client 's pet is dog aggressive or the cats are scared of dog, I will not have my service dog interact with them to give comfort and safety for all.
“Michelle was great to work with! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and took amazing care of the house. We came home to two very happy and well cared for doggies :)”
“Mason is great. Mason arrived on time and kept me updated while I was gone ! I will definitely use Mason again!”
About: I have had the luxury of taking care of animals my entire life, including dogs, chickens, and rabbits. I recently moved from El Paso, where I volunteered to walk shelter dogs every Sunday morning. I love animals and have often watched dogs for my friends and neighbors. I now have two dogs of my own and I love the dog mom life! My schedule is open right now most days so feel free to reach out whenever! For the most part I will be at work most mornings but have afternoon and evening availability. I am able to crate and walk dogs at my home, but prefer house sitting or letting them out at your home. I can take them on walks, runs, or even hikes if your dog wants an adventure. I will ensure they get some play and attention with the recommended food/treats you desire.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, I offer more than just sitting—I provide dependable, loving companionship for your furry family members. I’ve worked with puppies who need patient training and playful energy, as well as senior pets who require gentle care, medication, and special attention. What sets me apart is my ability to quickly bond with animals and adapt to their unique personalities and routines. Whether your pet needs an active playmate or a calm, reassuring presence, I’m there to make them feel safe, loved, and at home—even when you’re not. Wednesday- Saturday I am available at anytime. I work at VCU Medical Center Sunday-Tuesday 7am-7pm so I will not be available during that time. Anything else, feel free to call! Whether your pet stays with me or I come to your home, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that keeps your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. In My Home: I offer a calm, pet-friendly space where your pet will feel right at home. I provide plenty of playtime, regular potty breaks, and cozy spots for rest. I never leave pets unattended for long periods, and I keep a clean, secure environment to ensure your pet’s safety and happiness. In Your Home: I respect your home as if it were my own and make sure to follow your pet’s regular feeding, walking, and medication schedule. I keep communication open with updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My top priority is your pet’s well-being—whether that means active play, calm companionship, or specialized care.

She also is creative in getting him to exercise his mind too.”
sabrina s.
“Sabrina kept my 3 Dachshunds for a month at my home and did a great job. I have a ring camera and I know she took them out as requested and on schedule. They each had different medications they needed and she gave them their meds. Sabrina is such a loving dog sitter and am so glad she kept my boys. She sent me pics every few days as I was missing them. I could tell they were being loved and well cared for. The boys love her and her dog Comet, who also stayed too. While we were gone she worked with them to teach them not to bark at the door. She desensitized them to knocks and rings. Before, if they heard a knock or ring, they would bark like crazy and it took a long time to get them to be quiet. Now they hear a knock or ring and they bark but when I do what she showed me, they stop quickly and quiet down right away. I just loved having her keep my dogs. When I got home my house was just as clean as I left it. That was also very important to me. She is my go to person from now on.”

Autumn C.
“Autumn is truly a fantastic dog walker! She handled our large, energetic Mastiff and our small senior French Bulldog with so much care and confidence. She was patient and gentle with our Frenchie, making sure to go at his pace and give him extra attention. At the same time, she managed our Mastiff’s strength with ease, keeping her happy and well-exercised. Autumn sent us detailed updates and adorable photos after every walk, which gave us complete peace of mind. Both of our pups absolutely adore her, and we feel so lucky to have found someone so reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about dogs. We highly recommend Autumn to anyone looking for a caring and professional dog walker!”
Shavaree L.
“I highly recommend Shavaree as a pet sitter! She has a natural connection with animals and treats every pet as if they were her own. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or even more unique pets, she’s incredibly responsible, patient, and attentive to their needs. I’ve personally seen how animals warm up to her instantly, and she’s great at keeping them active, fed, and happy. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and genuinely passionate about animals, Shavaree is the perfect choice. Your pets will be in excellent hands!”

“Christie has sat with my dogs twice now and one of them finally came out of her shyness. The dogs love her. She sends pics and tells me how it’s going.”

Afton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Megan was THE BEST. She showed up on time, was super proactive in giving updates on how things were going and did a great job taking care of our dogs and our house.
I could not be happier with Phyllis. She took great care of my buddy in a difficult situation. My boy requires a wheel chair which is easy but Phyllis took to it right away and handled it like a champ. I think my apartment was cleaner when I got home than when I left. She is awesome.
This was my first time using Rover. I couldn’t be happier with the service that Kiara provided. I couldn’t recommend her more. Your dogs are in great hands.
