About: I had a seventeen year old Labrador retriever and she was the world. So, I have done and seen just about everything when it comes to dogs. I just had cancer and I’m getting back into working and would love to walk (play with/feed/etc.) your dog. Whatever you need! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable care, walks, drop-ins, and quality time for pets throughout the week. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits and enjoy giving animals lots of attention, playtime, and consistency while their owners are away. I live in a safe neighborhood in Plaza Midwood. It is a townhome community that is built for humans who happen to have dogs. Just remember to pack their leash for walks!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up with three cats, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, from independent and aloof to cuddly and demanding. I’ve also volunteered at several SPCA and Humane Society shelters, where I walked dogs, cleaned pens, and learned how to handle animals who are nervous, shy, or full of energy. I have a mini goldendoodle that I’ve raised and trained for the past two years, and my approach is patient but firm. Puppies and young dogs do best with clear boundaries and consistency, so I stay calm, set expectations, and reward good behavior, whether that’s house-training, leash manners, or basic commands. I’ve used the same approach with my neighbors’ dogs and my boss’s dog, which means people already trust me with their pets and their homes. I’m an active part of a large Charlotte pet community, so I’m connected to local trainers, vets, and the best parks and trails in the area. I’ll send you photos and updates during every stay, and I treat every pet like my own. Pet care is a built-in part of my day, so your pet gets real routine and attention instead of being squeezed in. Mornings start with walks and potty visits to get the day going. In the afternoons I do long, structured play sessions at my apartment’s dog park, with fetch, training practice, and time to burn off energy and socialize. On weekends I like to take dogs on outings around NoDa and Optimist Hall, which are great for socialization, new sights and smells, and some extra exercise. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual feeding, walk, and medication schedule, and I’ll send photo updates throughout the day. I care for pets in my home, where I work from home, so your pet has company and supervision throughout the day instead of being left alone. I live in a large pet-friendly community with several fenced-in dog parks, which gives dogs a safe, secure space to run and play off-leash with structure. I keep a consistent routine with structured play sessions both at home and around the community, mixed with rest time so dogs don’t get overstimulated. I crate-train my own dog and use a “place” command for calm downtime, so I’m a great fit for owners who do the same. I’m happy to follow your crate schedule and house rules so your dog’s routine stays consistent while you’re away.
“Oriana is so sweet and patient with my puppy. She is always on time and Mila loves her. She takes her time and plays with the puppy as well as takes her out. She has been so helpful!!!”


About: I’ve had pets my whole life including dogs, cats, hamsters and turtles. I have been pet sitting in my neighborhood since I was 12. I also know how to handle aggressive dogs and nervous cats. I’m currently looking for a part time position in Charlotte and looking to spend some time caring for animals! I have full availability except for Sunday’s. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I strive to maintain their usual routines, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and rest. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where every pet feels happy and well cared for!
“Jacqueline took great care of our cat while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and was always right on time with the scheduled visits. She was also quite patient with our cat who made a couple of messes and she handled the situation without any complaints. Would definitely love to book with her again!”


“Abygail followed instructions perfectly and was asking questions ahead of time to make sure she had all details so I wasn’t bothered while on vacation. My cat seemed to love her visits, overall a great experience!”

About: I've been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets. Growing up, I helped care for our family dogs, a Golden Retriever named Miley, followed by Henry and a beagle terrier mix Tippy. I did feeding, walks, playtime, and daily care. I also had two guinea pigs, which taught me the importance of consistency and attention to detail when caring for pets. Over the years, I've also helped friends and family with pet sitting, feeding, walking, and checking in on their pets while they were away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members as if they were their own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a cat owner, I spend time each day feeding, playing with, and caring for my cat, as well as keeping her environment clean and comfortable. I also enjoy being active and getting outside, so dog walks fit easily into my schedule. I work remotely, which gives me flexibility and allows me to provide attentive care, check-ins, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner's instructions and routines. In a client's home, I make sure pets stay comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of attention and affection. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I'm happy to adapt to their individual personality and needs.
“Kimberly was able to tend to my dog’s needs last minute. So thankful for her! She communicated clearly, promptly, and listened to the details I provided. I appreciated the photo updates she provided and would definitely book with her again!”

“Kayla was a really good pet sitter, 100% would recommend again for sure! She would send us pictures each time she took our dogs on walks which gave us peace of mind, she’s super nice and gained our trust very easily 🤍”


“Mylene is kind, enthusiastic, respectful and dependable. Rudy is thriving with her attention! Mylene communicates promptly and leaves detailed, informative reports along with photos that ensure that Rudy is happy and well cared for while I am at work. She is top notch…highly recommend!! Thank you Mylene😁”

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.
“Leanne watched our cat over thanksgiving and she was phenomenal! We had a meet and greet so she could get to know our cat and care instructions which I loved. Throughout the few days she did drop in visits we got great updates and she was very tentative to our pets needs. Would re-book again!”

“Hope was amazing! I booked with her only a few days before my trip, and from the jump, she was so quick with her responses. She kept me updated the whole time and was very sweet. I would definitely book her again for my next trip!”

“Katelyn saved the day helping out with my dog on short notice! She was able to quickly schedule a meet and greet, communicated well throughout the visits, and handled several special requests (like giving medicine) with ease. I was worried about leaving my dog while he had an injured paw, but she took such good care of him. It really put me at ease!! Thanks Katelyn!!”

Montana is the absolute best! I made an error and booked Montana for the wrong weekend and she was able to pivot so quickly to help out my fur baby! She is very communicative which I love! I can’t recommend her enough! Montana is the best rover I have ever used 🤍

Isabelle was the best! She was so reliable and took such great care of Gus. She kept me updated during his walks and drop-in visits, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and book with her again!

I’m so grateful to have found Daniesha. I was really nervous about leaving Dixie, my 15-year-old terrier mix, especially since she recently lost her sister. I've avoided traveling because I've worried about leaving her in someone else's care, but this time I didn't have a choice. Daniesha followed all my instructions, sent lots of photos and updates, and made sure Dixie was well cared for. I can't tell you how much it meant to be able to enjoy my trip without constantly worrying about my girl. I truly appreciate the care and kindness Daniesha showed Dixie, and I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to her again.

Jamie responded so quickly when I requested to book and asked really great questions before meeting which gave me great confidence in her care. She communicated so well and sent pictures during her time caring for them. My two were so happy with Jamie and I will definitely will be booking again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Charlotte is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,358 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Charlotte. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
