“Aquisha was amazing with my dog. She sent plenty of updates, pictures and videos. She has a great backyard. My dog was taken on plenty of walks and had a lot of play time outside. I look forward to rebooking with Aquisha in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have nearly 6 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog since he was a puppy. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pup. I’ll treat yours with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I’m currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pup lots of attention! I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and dog walking 7 days a week and can easily accommodate different schedules and routines. I have a great dog park just outside my home and a friendly golden retriever to keep your pup company! Dogs can also be easily crated or gated off in my home when needed. For walks and drop-ins, I’ll follow your pup’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, and always prioritize their safety and comfort.
“Samantha was awesome! She was extremely communicative, gave constant updates and made me feel at ease. I was traveling from another state and was nervous to leave Kam but he had a ball and was extremely comfortable with her! Will definitely book her anytime I visit in the future. Can’t say thank you enough”
“Daniella took such good care of Bane. Noticed when his ears o paws were bothering him and applied medicine as needed. Very responsive and lots of pictures! Bane loved his stay :)”
“I've used Lauren before and it seemed to go well. But when I pulled up this time my dog knew where he was and got so excited. He pulled me straight to her apartment door and stood outside. Clearly he was eager to be back! I can tell he had a fun time playing with her and her dog and he came back exhausted. He has been sleeping all morning. I'll certainly reach out to Lauren if I'm in need again.”
“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Of all the Rover sitters who have watched Piper, Danielle was by far the best with communication. She gave us just enough updates to know Piper was doing well, happy, and enjoying her stay without overdoing it. She made sure Piper got some nice little walks but also plenty of time to relax and feel comfortable. Thanks to Danielle’s communication, I never once worried about Piper while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking Danielle again soon!”
“Megan did a great job taking care of my baby. Aespen was hesitant being there but Megan worked with her til she was able to finally feel comfortable. I’d recommend Megan!”
“Hannah was an amazing sitter. She was caring, attentive to our dogs’ needs, and great with communication. We would definitely have her take care of our fur babies again!”
“Elias does a great job keeping me updated and takes excellent care of my boy when he stays with him. My goldendoodle needs a lot of activity and Elias makes sure to spend plenty of time playing fetch in his fenced in backyard. Thank you!”
“Anthony was fantastic from beginning to end! His dog, Jojo, is very sweet and got along with my dog well. He also sent lots of pictures of my dog throughout my trip!”
“Katelyn was great! My pup seemed very comfortable in her home. She send frequent updates and was very flexible/understanding with pick up and drop off times. Would definitely recommend!”
“Sydney and Derek were fantastic! They kept me updated throughout the day with photos of what they were doing, took Gallagher on walks, and clearly gave him a lot of care and attention. It was really reassuring to see how happy and well looked after he was. I’ll definitely be using them again!”
“Garrett clearly loves animals and his house is kept very clean, the fenced in backyard isn’t huge but perfect for potty breaks and he even took buddy to the park while we were away. He sends pictures and it’s very apparent my dog felt comfortable in his hands Would not hesitate to rebook!”
“Melanie was amazing! I had to come to town for an event, so I needed someone to watch my baby. Melanie was so caring and even kept me updated with photos and messages. I definitely felt comfortable! I know my sweetie was in good hands. I will absolute be booking Melanie again when I come back to visit!”
“Rocio was amazing with TinkerBell and she really cared for her over the days that she watched her and I would recommend her to anyone. I can't wait to rebook with her!”
“I had a great experience with Criss! I’m always nervous leaving my dog with someone new but she constantly communicated with me with updates about my dog and was very flexible with time.”
About: Hi, I'm Lauren! I am a full time student and work some nights during the week (mostly weekends) I have experience with small mammals (guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, rabbits, etc), cats, dogs, and fish. I have two cats who get along well with other pets. I live in a house with a big fenced in yard! I work from home during the week and work some nights and weekends! I have a very flexible schedule as well on the weekends for cat drop ins, and dog boarding. When visiting your pets at home I love to get the most out of the visit as possible. Get the feeding and bathroom breaks out of the way so there's more time to play! When hosting dogs in my home, we have a large fenced in yard to play.
About: I grew up with 3 different dogs over the years helping training, taking them out, playing, and other daily needs. I had them till I was 25 years old. I work remote so am very flexible. Other then meetings I can normally hop off here and there so will have time to take the dog out and walk them I have a nice dog park at my building, they can also run around in my apartment, if anything Is needed though I will need to know prior
“Great new friends for Zulu to hang with!!! Their cool demeanor and willingness to take on an older puppers with seizure disorder left me knowing my best good buddy would be taken care of while we need to travel out of the country for work. I loved getting photos and videos while away. Will be back for more fun!!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Omi! She took such wonderful care of our 4 year old Boston Terrior Tanto Pup and sent some of the best updates we’ve ever received from a Rover sitter! Her updates were thoughtful and detailed, with adorable pictures at least twice a day. Most importantly, we could tell Tanto felt right at home with her, which gave us so much peace of mind. We loved her so much that we’ve already asked about booking her again! Highly recommend Omi to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet! ❤️🐾
Carlin did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my dog, Khaleesi, while I was away on vacation. I was initially nervous about leaving her because she can be a little timid, but Carlin made me feel so comfortable and reassured every step of the way. She consistently sent pictures and videos, which I really appreciated because I never had to wonder how my baby was doing. Khaleesi was so comfortable around her and her dog, they ended up being best friends by the end of the stay! I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with my fur baby, and I would absolutely book with her again.
I was in a genuinely stressful spot (my dog had gotten sick that morning and the vet just told me to keep an eye on him), and she didn't flinch. She was flexible about everything, willing to watch him, boil up some rice, and feed him when I didn't even have the right food on hand. She's the kind of person who just comes up with a thoughtful, calming solution to whatever comes up. You can tell she loves animals and is genuinely capable. I honestly don't know what I would've done without her. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!! Daniella is wonderful!!
My pup absolutely LOVES Ivy! We are repeat customers and I’ve been really impressed with Ivy’s communication, daily updates and overall care for my lil guy. And I can tell he enjoys her company - everytime we arrive he jumps out and goes with her and never turns back for me. ❤️ She’s AWESOME.
Allyson was super communicative and sent pictures everyday of my dog through the entirety of my trip. She also was very detailed in the fact that she asked about my dogs eating habits and any other precautions. Super nice neighborhood and I saw a dog park within walking distance of her location. I will be using her again in the future, 10/10 recommend.
It was an absolute pleasure meeting Yenny, and having her take care of our pup was genuinely the best thing that could have happened. From day one, she felt less like a pet sitter and more like a trusted friend so much so that she earned the title of Tía Yenny to our little girl. Yenny went above and beyond to keep us in the loop, making sure we were aware of anything and everything happening throughout the boarding. Her communication was top notch, she was incredibly accommodating to our needs, and we shared so many great conversations that she truly made all our travel worries disappear. Leaving your dog can be stressful, but Yenny made it feel like leaving her with family rather than a stranger. We could not be more grateful for the love and care she showed our pup, and we recommend her wholeheartedly!
Megan was great with Jack! Jack is an anxious pup, and she was patient and kind as he was settling in. Megan sent daily updates with pictures, and Jack was a happy little boy, being able to snuggle with her and sit on her lap as she worked from home. Overall, Megan was fantastic, and we will definitely come back! There is truly nothing better than finding a trustworthy dog sitter, so I am thrilled we found Megan.
Super beyond grateful to Jessyka! Not only did she go above and beyond with care of my Pup Yoshi! She was extremely understanding of a travel delay and accommodating to assist with caring for Yoshi while I navigated flight delays etc. def highly recommend her! ♥️
Jordan took amazing care of Brody!! She made sure to update me every couple hours with the cutest pictures and videos of Brody and Vinny playing together. They looked like best buds. She also made sure to take Brody on plenty of walks and introduce him to some of the other dogs at the apartment dog park. Will definitely be booking with her again!
Reagan took my puppy in under such short notice, and did an amazing job taking care of him! My dog is usually anxious but he seemed so content when I got back to him. She is amazing and was so flexible and patient with us. Would absolutely book again if we lived in the area.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Charlotte home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Charlotte.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
