About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a home full of pets, including dogs, cats, and even a bunny. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality. I currently work in the service industry at a resturuant in South End, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone to keep them company, i’m happy to provide attentive, reliable care while you’re away. I work in the service industry at a resturuant in South End, so my schedule is flexible and varies from week to week. This allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on the week. I will always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. i’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any other routines that help your pet feel comfortable. Every pet is unique, and i’ll provide patient, attentive care based on their individual needs. i’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Weiying was amazing with my cat Benny. She was so responsive and left lots of pictures. I messaged her day of and she had no problem helping me out so last minute! Will definitely reach out to her again in the future! :)”
About: Hi there! I’m Chelsea, and I’m a full-time sales professional and dog mom to a 3 year old Lhasa-Poo named Emilio. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and am comfortable with many breeds, ages, and personalities. I am very attentive and detailed and will take care of your fur baby like they are my own. I work fully remote and will have plenty of time for walks, playtime, and cuddles with your pet(s)! I typically have meetings mid mornings and afternoons, but my schedule has a lot of flexibility. I live in a secure apartment building with plenty of space in-unit for your baby. I’m comfortable with crate trained or free range pups! I’m also comfortable with watching your pet in their environment.
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Joseph was a wonderful Rover! He always sent numerous pictures of my pup Willa with a detailed update of his visit with her! I was out of town and never had to worry that she wasn’t getting taken care of or getting all of the pets and scratches. Thank you for taking such good care of Willa!”
“Kathryn was great! Had to find someone quickly for my regular sitter who was going to be out of town and she responded right away! She was great with Fynnlie and will definitely use her again! ☺️”
“Haley did a great job with Akela. She fed and refilled her water bowl as needed. She played with and chased Akela around the yard. Akela was as happy as can be when I got home!”
“Christian is an amazing pet sitter. This was the first time I hired a pet sitter. I was worried as my cat Oreo is an anxious cat and if she would be ok but Christian made sure she was comfortable and well taken care of. She seemed super happy and in good spirits when I returned.He sent the cutest pictures and videos and I felt assured that she was good. I would definitely recommend Christian. He went above my expectations!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. Our dogs have varied from golden retriever, pit bull, labs, and hound. I was responsible for them from when they were puppies until our last goodbyes. In addition to dogs we’ve owned, I’ve also dog sat for all types of dogs. I’m flexible and patient with pets of all ages and types. I can’t wait to meet your pet(s)! I’m currently working full-time on a hybrid schedule, in office Tuesday-Thursday. I work from home Monday & Friday, great for pet sitting on long weekends. I will make sure all pets are well attended for, including plenty of food/water, bathroom breaks and play time. I live in an apartment by myself, so there’s plenty of room for furry friends to join. There is a dog park at my apartment complex, great to get them out in play. Also happy to go on runs/walks throughout Charlotte.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Charlotte is $20

Ellen was beyond amazing with my 8 week old GSD!!! She is a great communicator, attentive, and was very punctual. More importantly she did a fantastic job with my little guy! He’s a ball of energy but when I came home he was fast asleep in his crate. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Will definitely be rebooking!
Joseph was very reliable, caring, and responsible. Luna loved spending time with him. He visited her three times a day and was punctual and courteous with the front office and the neighbors. Also, I appreciated that he sent me pictures and info about each visit. Highly recommend him!
10/10, no notes, booking with Madison! She is a total lifesaver. Super accommodating with timing, incredibly professional, and fantastic with our pups. The photo updates and notes always put an instant smile on our faces. Highly recommend her to anyone needing reliable pet care!

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.
