“Kathryn does great with Winston. He’s a high energy herding mutt and requires lots of play time and he always looks like he has a great time with her!”
“Jenn was excellent with our fur baby and we were instantly relaxed about her when we met her! Solomon had a great time and we would hire her again any day!”
“Our cat, Mecklen loves his aunt Lora! She always goes above and beyond for him! She is simply the greatest! We never worry about our home, our pet, or knowing that he will be taken well care of while we’re gone!”
“Taylor was so communicative, compassionate, and a wonderful sitter for our sweet Astra. Wonderful photos and updates were shared while we were away, which granted me so much peace of mind. We'll absolutely book Taylor again in the future.”
“Tracy went above and beyond and made sure I didn’t have to stress while I was away from home. It was nice having someone with cats in their own home looking after mine, my cat warmed up to her so quickly and I knew she was in safe hands.”
“Rachel is great! She has been letting my little dog out during the day regularly while I’m away at work. She is always on time and communicates well and takes cute pics :) couldn’t recommend Rachel more!”
About: I have taken care of dog(s) all shapes and sizes since I was 5 years old. Also recently started taking care of a cat that adopted my parents ha I am currently in between jobs so during the week my schedule is flexible. I love Dogs and believe in being active and going on walks already so this is a natural fit I live in an apartment by myself that is pet friendly near uptown and live close to parks that are great for dog walks and exercise.
About: Favorite job: 1 year at a dog boarding and daycare center! I’ve cared for various "pet pals" in every social, professional, and geographical change my life has seen! Safety, freedom, snacks. I can bathe toy, small, and medium breeds. Just relocated! Life can be ruff, scheduling isn’t! I’m a Charlotte native who’s ready to make your pet the very best part of my week! Book a one-time visit or an energizing walk to break the ice! Stretch our legs, play, learn, snack, and nap — all in a comfy, familiar space. I also use our walks to explore my new neighborhood and give your pet fresh sights and smells.
“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!”
“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!!”
“Lauryn is absolutely amazing!!!! And I think that’s an understatement!!! First of all, I found her on kind of short notice..and I am so incredibly grateful that she confirmed the booking right away! This was her first time taking care of Charlie and Cleo, and I can tell they fell in love with her (and vice versa) 🥹 we were gone for the longest time away from our babies (around 5 days!), but Lauryn took extra special care of them and was so patient. She was very communicative, and I absolutely loved the photos/videos she sent us! I would 1000% book Lauryn again - and highly, highly recommend her!”
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
“Megan was wonderful with our two boys. Prompt and on scheduled with drop in visits, which was comforting because my dog takes pills around the clock. Would highly recommend”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, starting at age four, and have always had a genuine love for caring for animals. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare and spa, giving me experience caring for multiple dogs and handling a variety of needs. I’ve raised several puppies and have a particular passion for large breeds. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed and understand the importance of following each pet’s routine carefully. I’m attentive, patient, and take the time to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work as a server, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to take a break in the middle of the day when needed. Even on days when I work a full shift, I’m always able to step away to check on your pet, take them for a walk, feed them, and give them some attention. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m knowledgeable about dog body language and behavior, and my experience at a dog daycare and spa has taught me how to recognize different temperaments and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, administering medications, and following specific care instructions. I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: Hi! I’m Regan. I’ve always loved animals and have previous experience working as a veterinary technician, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy. I have a cat named moon who keeps me busy! I’m available and would love to help with dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, litter box care, and general pet sitting. My veterinary background has also given me experience handling different personalities, following specific care instructions, and paying attention to changes in an animal’s behavior. I’ll always keep you updated while you are away. I know every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow their normal routine and give them the attention they’re used to while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a good walk and some playtime or your cat just needs someone to check in and some attention. I look forward to connecting soon! I’m currently working full time Monday through Thursday 7am to 5pm. I am more than happy and willing to accommodate pet care after work as well as Friday through Sunday. I am also happy to discuss potential house sitting arrangements after dog walking or drop in services have been completed. I like to keep pets on their normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’ll make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and get their walks or potty breaks. I’m also comfortable following specific instructions and giving medications if needed. I’ll send updates and pictures along the way so you know your pet is happy and doing well!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Charlotte
Joseph was amazing!!! Highly recommended!! Took Finny out for long walks around town and stayed for a little bit and hung out with Finny while we were working. Followed directions and made sure Finny was happy and comfortable. We will be absolutely having Joseph walk and hangout with Finny again. Finny loves him!
Kaylee is the best! She was willing to come out before the weekend to meet with my dog and I and she was so communicative and friendly throughout the experience. She was patient and gentle with my fearful dog who ended up loving her by the end. Would highly recommend!
Dylan was great! I requested several visits per day which can be a lot of work and she was prompt for every single one. She uploaded pictures which eased my mind while i was away, and she not only fed and handled potty breaks but gave them attention and affection! Would definitely recommend her and request her help again in the future.
Amanda was an incredible sitter/walker for Patterson and Tommy! It was clear during the meet and greet that we’d found our new drop-in specialist for the dogs! Amanda’s visit reports were outstanding - lots of pictures and detailed information. Will absolutely be booking again!
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!
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.

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.
