“Weiying is wonderful! She was communicative, attentive, and reliable. My cat warmed up to her immediately, which says a lot. It was my first time leaving him at home while traveling, and the daily photos of him playing gave me real peace of mind. Would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book again!”
“Lora has taken great care of our two shy kitties. She is very conscientious and sends updates and photos. It is wonderful knowing our cats are well taken care of while we are away. Definitely recommend Lora?”
“Daniella was an amazing sitter. Our cat is very shy and typically hides from new faces, so we were very shocked to see her cuddling with Daniella on day 2. Daniella was also very accommodating to any of the requests we made. Definitely recommend her services for anyone with pets in the area.”
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. While I can’t host pets in my home due to lease restrictions, I’m happy to provide care in your home where your pets feel most comfortable. Whether you need a midday walk, help while you’re out of town, or someone to check in on your pet, I’d love to help. I’m happy to provide photos or video updates as often as you would like. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I typically will respond within the hour.

“My little girl was taken care of and got to stretch her legs mid day! Definitely gave me so much peace of mind to have such a kind hearted person care for my best friend.”
“Jillian was amazing and took the best care of our cats while we were away! We were constantly updated with photos and felt very confident that they were well cared for and happy! Will definitely be booking with Jillian in the future!”
“Melanie was so sweet and took such great care of my kitties! Every day I could tell (through picture updates) that my cats warmed up to her pretty quickly. She even brought in my mail! Would definitely recommend Melanie to watch your fur babies! ❤️❤️”
“She was so great. My job is fairly demanding and sometimes I don’t know that I’ll need someone to take my dogs out and she was able to do it on some of my emergency days with only a couple hours notice. I appreciate that.”
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
“Grace was absolutely wonderful with my shy boy! He took to her immediately and really enjoyed having her company while I was out of town. Grace has the magic touch with cranky older cats! She also took great care to keep the space clean and tidy. I would absolutely recommend Grace and will definitely hire her again when we travel!”
“Joseph was the best! I have a reactive dog that barks at everything that moves and Joseph handled him so well. Fed him, took him out, sent updates, and was very good at communicating with me! I am so appreciative of Joseph!”
“Bailey is always a wonderful sitter to our cat Mama! She gives her love, treats and always sends us lots of pictures. Highly recommend booking for your pet services!”
About: I’ve had four dogs in my life and have also cared for dogs in my neighborhood growing up. I love walking and playing with animals, and I can match their energy—whether that means being active and playful or calm and relaxed. I’m focused on making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I currently work part-time at a restaurant, but outside of my shifts I have a flexible schedule and am usually available. I’m able to plan ahead and make time for pet care consistently throughout the week, especially during mornings, afternoons, and some evenings depending on my work schedule. I live right in the city, so I’m able to take dogs on regular walks and bring them to nearby parks for exercise and stimulation. I make sure pets are always supervised, safe, and comfortable. Whether at my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they feel secure and cared for.
“My dog takes a little while to warm up usually but with Kelly he was instantly in love with her! She took such good care of him. I will definitely be using her again!”

Michaela is great with Zoe! I’ve booked with her multiple times now, and she’s been wonderful every time. She’s so kind with Zoe and keeps me updated throughout each visit which gives me peace of mind while I’m away. Zoe clearly loves spending time with her and I’ll definitely continue booking with her in the future. Highly recommend!
Jack was absolutely amazing! I had to go to New York and needed someone to walk and care for my dog, and he exceeded all my expectations. He was very responsive, professional, and genuinely cared for my dog. He sent me lots of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He even accommodated my last-minute request without hesitation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. It’s clear that he loves animals and treats them like they’re his own. I highly recommend Jack to anyone looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and caring. I’ll definitely be using his services again!
Rosie took such wonderful care of our dogs over the holidays, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our time away without worrying about them. She kept us updated with lots of photos and thoughtful messages, so we always knew they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for! Thank you Rosie!

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.

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.
