“Frankie loved his first walk with Chrissy and we appreciated her detailed updates and pictures! Thank you for making us feel confident about leaving our pup! We can’t wait for the next one!”
“Jo is friendly and reliable, and she takes great care of my dog! She takes pictures and writes notes to let me know how my dog is doing. I am so grateful for her!”
“Cerys is awesome! I've booked her twice and will book her again for sure. From the second she met with us during the meet&greet, I could tell her and Diesel were bonded. She was receptive to all the information and "quirks" that Diesel has and worked with her. She didn't take the shortcut and just take Diesel to the park. She ran her as far as Diesel wanted to go. Diesel is so happy to see Cerys anytime she came by for a walk.”
About: I am an experienced pet parent myself. I share my home with a Maine Coon and a Siberian cat, so I know very well how to care for large, fluffy cats with unique personalities and needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals — whether it’s playtime, feeding, grooming, or simply keeping them company. I am patient, attentive, and gentle, and I always treat every pet as if they were my own. I am happy to provide: • Drop-in visits (feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, play and cuddles) • Dog walks and exercise • Photo and message updates, so you always know how your pet is doing I always make safety my first priority. At home, my cats (a Maine Coon and a Siberian) have taught me the importance of a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment. I pay close attention to details like secure doors, safe play areas, and removing anything that could be harmful.
About: I grew up around dogs and cats and currently work in the doggy daycare field! Big or small, young or old I'm ready for all your furry friends needs! I'm currently working part-time so all day Sun-Tues I'm available for your pet care needs as well as Thursday afternoons! I can also do some potty breaks Wednesday and Friday mornings before noon! Whatever space you've got put aside for your pet to stay in your home, be it inside or outside, I'm comfortable caring for your pets needs. Play time outside? Lets do it! Food only in a specific area of the home? No problem!
“He did an excellent job! Dogs were very content when I returned. Obvious in their actions that they were well cared for. Would like to book him for regular mid day walks,”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. From a young age I helped to take care of my family’s dogs and even worked for a dog groomer in high school! My wife and I currently own a very sweet dog named Samwise. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am able to meet whatever needs your pets may have in terms of time spent with them. I love animals and care for them with patience and kindness. I will treat your home and your pets with respect as if they were my own.
“Linda took great care of my pup! She took her out for a potty break and was very understanding of my dogs fear of the rain. Linda went above and beyond to ensure that my dog still went potty despite my dog’s unwillingness to cooperate in the rain. We will be using Linda again!”
“Katie is fantastic, and I'm thrilled to have found her. My dog, Buster, is "special needs". He warmed up to her quickly, and he even let her put his rain jacket on him. I didn't think we would trust anyone but me to do that. Buster had a great time on his walk, and he looks forward to more walks with her!”
“Mallory was great! She communicated well through the whole process from inquiry through the booking. Requested her to walk my dog Tasha 3 days in a row. She asked questions when needed and appreciated the extra communication! Would hire her again.”
About: Disclaimer: At this time I ask that first-time clients DO NOT contact me if you are not 100% comfortable with my pricing. I totally understand that EVERYTHING is expensive these days and more people have a tighter budget. Sitting is my only form of income at the moment, so it is not sustainable for me to lower my prices. It is VERY important to me that I am able to provide the highest level of care possible while also being able to keep myself financially afloat. I also want to make sure that my clients are comfortable and confident in my abilities and pricing. Thank you so much for viewing my profile and keeping this detail in your consideration! - 5 years combined experience in daycare, boarding, and veterinary assistance - worked in many different roles within the field - up to managerial in dc/boarding - experience with pets with various medical, dietary, or other special needs - received pet CPR training during previous employment I recently finished my B.S. in Forensic Science and, while I am waiting on job opportunities in the field, will have a very open schedule for the foreseeable future. I am very flexible and open to working in whatever way/time fits best with your schedule and your pets' particular lifestyle and needs! I can offer day through night house-sitting, drop-ins up to every two hours, walks, or a combination, depending on what works best for you and your pet(s). With working in the daycare and boarding field for so long, I take the safety of and trust between myself, you, and your pet(s) very seriously. I have experience monitoring multi-pet households, in which different safety concerns or special needs per pet must be monitored. I also have a special love for senior pets and am more than happy to cater to their needs, whether that means slower or more frequent walks, special diets, or extra medical needs. I am able to give oral and injectable medications and have general knowledge on things such as: commonly used medications and monitoring potential concerns, such as abnormal stool, to determine if at-home care options are possible or if symptoms could indicate something that may need Veterinary Care. In the case of multi-day care or if you have specific concerns, I can provide detailed daily notes, regarding eating, medication, bathroom habits, behavior, etc., and pictures of your pet. ** Please note that I am more than happy to stay at your home full-time (24/7), but this will incur variations in my nightly rate which can be discussed at the time of the meet and greet.
About: I love dogs. We have had 5 English labs( Knobbler, Kensington, Mimi, Piccadilly, and Waterloo) in the past 20 years. I have looked after puppies and Senior dogs. I am in between jobs now, but looking for the right full time job. I am free most days and can change my schedule happily. I will actively send photos of the pets in my care. I will check Gates before letting dogs out, and if there is no gate will take dogs for walk to use the bathroom. Cleanup poops when they happen. And feeding.
About: I grew up with animals and love caring for them. My grandpa had German shepherds growing up. I have a pomeranian that's 2 years old. I'm pretty flexible but will be starting a local college program full time in the fall. Looking to petsit now and continue doing so once school starts. I check to make sure gates are closed. I keep dogs on a leash when taking them out if need be. I provide fresh water, attention, and pets.

About: I am a young professional and native Charlottean. I began care-giving to pets at an early age. I have been most successful with creating dog-sitting and cat-sitting opportunities by word of mouth with friends and neighbors. I know Rover will give me the opportunity to make your pet more comfortable at home and allow them get to know me better. Rover I believe is so helpful and better than boarding your pets because they are most happy in a familiar environment to them. I am passionate for helping others and understand people have busy lives, so I am here to help in anyway with your pets needs! I would be happy to meet you and your pets. I am fortunate to have a 9-5 work from home job where I can visit/stay with pets. I have plenty of spare time to relax, play, and adventure with your pet(s)! I am a very clean and organized individual who will treat your home better than my own if requested to house sit in one of my clients homes. I prefer watching pets in their own home because this is a familiar place to them and will allow them the utmost comfort while their owner(s) are away.
About: I am a compassionate and caring person who enjoys taking care of pets. I have a dog and two cats and I frequently sit with family pets. I am very comfortable with all aspects of dog and cat care. I will care for your pet as my own and will pay special attention to their specific needs and schedules. Whatever their routine is I will make sure that they have what they need and I follow your instructions to the letter. I look forward to meeting you and your special family member! I currently have a very flexible schedule as I am a student taking classes online. I have open availability and will gladly work with you. I would be very happy to care for your pets at your home during the week or over a weekend. I am happy to take on all aspects of their care and make sure that all of their needs are met. You will find that I am very reliable and I have a great rapport with animals. I love them and love caring for them and they seem to know this right away. It would be my pleasure to assist you whether walking or feeding or administering necessary meds. I will treat your pet as I would my own.
Carmel dog parents share their Rover experiences
The best dog sitter I’ve ever used! Cerys came to my home and walked Koda multiple times per day while I was away. I received pictures, videos, updates on his eating habits, bathroom habits, etc.! I felt so comfortable on my trip because I knew Koda was in the best hands and was receiving amazing updates every single time! Cannot say enough good things about Cerys!
Kelli walked my dog Charlie while I was out of town. She communicated promptly, asked thoroughly questions, and was not daunted by his big puppy energy. I also really appreciated that she looked up the weather ahead of time and we adjusted walk times accordingly with the heat index. She arrived on time and he returned a happy & tired dog ready for his morning snooze. The next time I’m out of town and she’s available, l’d definitely book Kelli again!
First, I would like to say I have never left my dog, Halen, with anyone but family. I struggled when I joined Rover to find just the right person to take care of her for a few days. Irene was the perfect find to take care of Halen. She scheduled a meet and greet with me where she could get to know Halen and her behavior patterns. She asked just the right questions and put me at ease immediately for the time I was away she showed up on time and provided updates. Most all of the updates showed a picture of Halen smiling. She also taught her some new commands. I’m so glad that I have found the dog walker that I will continue to use and that I feel understands my dog.
