“Christopher provided great care to my cats while I was away for a while. He made sure to give them extra attention and love! I appreciate the updates on the rover cards, especially the adorable pictures he took. He always arrived on time to feed the cats. They seemed well taken care of when I arrived back home. One of my cats didn't want him to leave and kept wanting attention from him. Thank you for being there for the cats!”
“Due to my job she wasn’t able to meet my dogs prior and they were comfortable enough with her to go outside with her. (My older dog can be wary of new people sometimes)”
“Kathryn was awesome in coming to watch our cats while we were away. We have one cat that needs medication and she had no hesitation on making it happen. The cats loved her and she sent us a bunch of photos every visit. We appreciated her thoroughness and detail in caring for our home since we sometimes come home to unwanted surprises around the house lol. We highly recommend her!”
About: I’ll treat your pets as if they are my own. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, medication, litter box cleaning, or daily walks, I’ll ensure your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m available for same day or last minute bookings. I work remotely and finish by 2pm on weekdays, I’m available for afternoon or evening walks and can stay overnight if you need a house sitter.

About: As a fellow pet owner of both a cat and a dog, you can trust that your animal will be in good hands! I’ve been a dog mom for 10 years and grew up with family dogs when I was younger and my fiancé has a cat that I now consider my own. I work from home which allows me to have a flexible schedule when it comes to helping out with any and all of your pet needs and care. I have several friends pets that I’ve watched when they leave to go out of town and their furry friends are treated like one of my own! You can believe the same is true when I watch your fur babies 🩷 I work from home which allows me to be available for all of your pet needs throughout the day. I have a routine with my own animals of morning/evening potty and feed time as well as walks and play time throughout the day. I can be flexible with whatever your pets needs are! I have two pets of my own so I can ensure that I will watch and take care of your pets as if they are my own! While I’m with your pets, my attention will be focused on them and making sure all of theirs needs are met
“Tracy was very flexible with a last minute change in our Memorial Day plans! She was very attentive to our dog and cat, and took very good care of them! Would re-book again!”
“Very attentive and loving towards my cat while we were out of town. Extremely thorough and includes tons of pictures so I know he is safe and happy! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Julia was AMAZING with our pets!! Her check-ins and photos were gold and she was reliable, trustworthy, and loved on our animals as if they were her own. We definitely recommend her to anyone and will be requesting her help again and again!!”
About: I used to have two dogs I took care of when parents are away. I've also worked in a veterinary office which had me working with all dogs small or large. I'm very active with my dogs and love to run with them. I have experience training puppies and all the tricks to make them feel right at home. I have also administered medication before to my dogs. I am an event coordinator so my schedule is very fluid, I make my own hours. I prefer to walk dogs before and after work since I work over in Belmont. I will be working dog walking hours into my schedule so I can be very flexible. My dogs are always welcome to new dogs. I have two 13 year old jack Russell's! I don't have much of a backyard but always walk my dogs all around the block about five times a day. I like being active with the dogs, it's so good for their health. Also love taking dogs to Cos Cob Park.
“Alicia is an amazing pet sitter. She took care of my three kittens including my senior cat that is sick and we couldn't be more grateful for all of her help! We have a few special requests for him that can be a lot to ask and she did them without any issues! We will most definitely keep booking with her. I 100% recommend her service”
“Stephen was great at taking care of our cat. Very communicative, consistent, and reliable. Would definitely ask for his help again! We had peace of mind while we were away for several days. Stephen gave detailed updates and pictures after each visit.”
“Hope was so attentive to our cat Walter when we were out of town. We loved getting photo updates and could tell she genuinely enjoyed spending time with our boy! She responded very quickly to all messages. We greatly appreciate her loving care for our kitty and highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with three dogs and two cats, which gave me a strong foundation in caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also regularly help care for my sister’s large dogs, so I’m comfortable handling bigger breeds and energetic pups. For the past 8 years, I’ve been a proud dog mom to my own dog, Gus. Caring for Gus has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, administering basic care, and understanding a dog’s individual needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods and can maintain their normal routines. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, cuddle time, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I provide a calm, loving environment and will treat your pet like a member of my own family.
About: I have foster experience with 6 dogs ranging from a chihuahua puppy to a senior yellow lab.

Furthermore, I am available for multiple visits each day and have a reliable source of transportation. I have access to various nearby parks and have plenty of toys and treats for both dogs and cats. I have a quiet home environment and live in a pet-friendly apartment complex.
“Alyssa was the best! She did a last minute drop in for me and took such great care of my babies. She sent lots up photos to update me and followed their care instructions promptly. Will definitely be using her again in the future :)”
“Vaishali was fantastic with our Nala! Our pup is a little wary of strangers and Vaishali gave her the space and patience to become more comfortable and by the end of the visit was having a great time relaxing with her kong. I was”
“Alexandra was absolutely wonderful with my pup, Sassy! 🐾 While I was busy at a conference during the day, she made sure Sassy was cared for, loved, and comfortable. I felt so at ease knowing Sassy was in such good hands. Alexandra is attentive, reliable, and clearly has a natural way with animals. I came back to a happy and relaxed pup, which says it all. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: I grew up with a lab after begging many hours at the state fair for her. I’ve loved dogs all my life and taken care of them since my teens. I’m passionate about dogs of all ages and tailoring our activities to their routine! I currently have a flexible schedule while I prepare to start my career in November, which allows me plenty of time for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the week. I’m available during the day and can work with your pet’s routine to provide consistent care, attention, and exercise. I enjoy staying active and would love the opportunity to spend my free time caring for pets in my community! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll provide loving, attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s routine. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and will follow your instructions closely so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you’re away.

Ziyi is absolutely amazing! She takes care of our two corgis during the week while we’re in the office, and they absolutely adore her. She spends so much time with them during each visit and genuinely cares for them as if they were her own. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thorough during our meet-and-greet, which gave us complete confidence that she was the perfect fit for our pups. She is reliable, caring, communicative, and someone we fully trust with our dogs and our home. We are so grateful for everything she does and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. Thank you for everything, Ziyi! ❤️🐾
Tiffany was absolutely fantastic!!!!! I legit found her at the last minute and she saved my weekend. I just moved into an apartment in charlotte as well and haven’t had guests and through all the stress of getting in with codes and what not and where to even walk my dog ( which was vague “um outside” ) she championed through it and did a phenomenal job! Not only did she respond promptly and show up she went above and beyond and sent feedback with things that I wasn’t even aware of that could help me with my fur babies. And this has to be mentioned but she also knew i was struggling financially and suggested 30 min visits which also gave me room to breathe. All in all she was absolutely lovely and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service and care I received from her. Tiffany is a gem and you would be lucky to have her !!!! ☺️
Haley was soo sweet to Carter! She came early, sent me photos from her visit, and even sent me a message before she left!! Carter was so happy and well taken care of when I got home from work. I would definitely trust her with any of my pets and hope to book her again soon!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Charlotte stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Charlotte choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter 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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Charlotte with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Charlotte. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
