“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)”
“Courtney was amazing! 🤗🤗🤗 She communicated well, quick to respond, took very good care of my two yorkies, and kept me in the loop of everything, even the change of weather! 10/10 I would definitely recommend ❤️❤️”
“Stephanie was a perfect cat sitter for my two boys! She was responsive and friendly, I felt very comfortable being away knowing she was there to play, feed and keep my cats company during the day. Will definitely book her again!”
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.
“Paige and Thomas did a great job with our 2 cats. They both took to Paige right away (very hard for them to do) and came out to see her when she and Thomas arrived. Paige was dealing with some personal circumstances yet was always prompt, polite, and overly communicative (which I really appreciated!!!). I would highly recommend them for your beloved animals.”
“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.”
“Ava was amazing! She provided such attentive love and care to my cat George and provided daily updates with plenty of pictures. Great communication and reliability! Definitely will use her in the future and recommend to all pet owners looking for care.”
“Erin is reliably excellent. She is generous with her time, love, and attention with our cats and is always thoughtful and considerate. Never disappointed!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and other animal friends all my life, having grown up in a home where pets are an essential part of family. I’ve been relied on by parents, neighbors, and friends to pet sit for weeks at a time, and tend to pets on certain days of the week. I got to learn core training methods and practices with two of my childhood dogs, as they were smart pups that needed directing lest they go stir crazy. I’ve implemented much of that training with my dachshund puppy, Azzy, as he’s a very smart little guy too! I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and dogs from 8lbs to 80lbs. I’ve also cared for all different types of breeds, from the most hearty Labrador growing up, to the most sensitive but sweet little yorkie. I respect and appreciate all their personalities, and I understand how to match their attitudes. Whether you’re looking for some basic training, support while you’re away, or a playmate for your furry family member, I am eager to help! I’m working part time right now, so I can pet sit for furry friends on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and then mornings on Fridays and Sundays! I’m available for regular pet sitting, the same for your pup or cat every week, or varying schedules. In the client’s home, I respect the owner’s space and follow their setup for however they want their pet to be managed. If you want them left in a pen or with certain lighting or music on while you’re away, I’ve got you! I incorporate toys left for them and can bring some toys and treats of my own if you’d like!

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life—over 25 years of hands-on experience! Right now I share my home with a playful 3-year-old French Bulldog, but I’ve also loved and raised an American Terrier (Pitbull) for 13 years, a female mix for 11 years, and even a Chow Chow growing up. My Frenchie is very social and would be thrilled to meet new friends during their stay or walk. I’m also a former dog breeder, with strong training experience using treats, crates, and puppy pads for puppies. While I don’t usually crate dogs unless it’s part of their training, pups in my home have the freedom to roam, play, and feel at ease. My goal is to be an extension of you while you’re away—providing the same love, structure, and attention your dog is used to. I always follow care instructions carefully and treat every pup like family. 📍 Located right in uptown Charlotte, NC. 🐾 Looking forward to welcoming your furry friend!

About: I started pet sitting at age 13, and have loved every moment of it. Since having the same dog since 4th grade, I am passionate about animals and love working with them. I have a hybrid job where I am typically in the office 3 days a week. I am flexible and can work around the owner's schedule according to my availability! I only provide care for pets in the owner's home to provide the most comfort for the animal.

Christopher has watched my dog several times now, and I couldn’t be happier with his care! He’s always reliable, punctual, respectful, and courteous of my home. My dog seems very comfortable with him, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. I truly appreciate how dependable he is and will absolutely continue booking with him. Highly recommend Christopher to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur baby! ❤️
Amanda was amazing, the communication was smooth and the organization went perfectly. She took the time to meet and greet before the first drop in visit, she was patient with Mosko and learned his character and behavior really quick. I felt really safe and at ease to leave Mosko for her care. I will definitely use her services again and strongly recommend her. Many thanks Amanda!
Hired Kelsey & Malcom last minute after our previous dog sitter canceled before we had to travel. Kelsey & Malcom always provided updates with pictures and videos! I highly recommend them to take care of your furry ones. We will definitely be booking them in the future. Super reliable and trustworthy.
Katelyn was absolutely fabulous! She helped us out very last minute with our two dogs, one of whom had some special needs and required a little extra attention. She handled everything perfectly and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, communicative, and so great with both of our girls. We’re incredibly grateful she was able to step in on such short notice and would 100% trust her with them again. Highly recommend Katelyn to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring for their pets!

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!

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.

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 .
