“Amanda has been such an amazing friend to Cosmo. We moved to 4th ward last week and the change was stressful on the little guy. Amanda immediately established a rapport with him and they have great walks together. She is also very punctual and communicates well.”


“Daniesha was great! My dog was well taken care of, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Communication was great, and I really appreciated the updates throughout. I would definitely book her again and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter or dog walker!”

“Amber did an amazing job walking Gungi! She was reliable, friendly, and made sure Gungi got the exercise and attention he needed. I could tell he was happy and well-cared for after their walks. I’ll definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker!”

About: I’ve raised and cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds, and I absolutely love being around them! I have a 3 year old mini Bernedoodle who is my best buddy & we love going on walks, playing in the yard, and lots of couch cuddles. We’d love to welcome your pup into our daily routine and make them feel right at home! I’m happy to accommodate each dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs, and I’m always available to answer any questions you may have. My goal is to make you feel completely comfortable and at ease while your pet is in my care. I’m available most days for dog walks, drop-in visits, and daycare. I’m not currently accepting boarding requests. I work from home most days of the week, so I am available during many hours of the day & am able to go on walks and play with your pet throughout the day. I ensure pets are properly secured in yards/ crates and am experienced walking dogs in a safe manner, especially hyper or timid dogs. In both my home and my clients homes, I make sure that safety, trust, and a pet friendly environment are top priorities. For dogs, this includes a fenced in backyard leash-trained walks, and supervised playtime. I’m more than happy to follow bathroom and feeding schedules!
About: I have been taking care and looking after animals since I was 10. My family had several dogs, cats, and even reptiles at all points in additional to several friends here in Charlotte. 📸Instagram: buckrover I work in a remote setting for a tech company and make my own schedule. I’m very flexible in my hours and can also work from anywhere. I care with both ease and detail in how the said animal is to be taken care of according to their owners specifications and request.

About: I’ve always loved animals and taking care of them is something I love. I took some vet classes in high school that helped me learn the basics! Such as their body behavior, basic handling, and how to administer medication. I also gained some experience with grooming and caring for senior dogs, as I understand older pets need extra patience and attention. I’ve trained my own dog to perform many tricks and sleep on his own, so if you have a puppy I’d be more than happy to show them some basic tricks and commands during our time together. While training takes time I’m always happy to help them learn more and build good habits. I’m currently available to do walks or pet visits in the evening where I can then on a walk or even go to the park and play. I’m a full time student and worker as well so for right now the only days I’m available are Friday and Sundays for boarding, pet sitting, and home visits and need at least a 2 day notice please! I live in an apartment where there is a little doggy park and it’s a very dog friendly environment. Inside my apartment they are able to be on the furniture and be with me at all times. I will be taking them out every 1-2 hours or if you need me to do it more often I would be more than happy to. While they are with me if you have any extra requests to have them be on the bed or keep them in their crate I will be happy to follow that.
“Jacqueline was amazing. She was wonderful with our 80 lbs puppy. She was so understanding when Rover gave the wrong address too. We will definitely use her again!”


About: Hey! I’m Kenzie, your friendly neighborhood dog sitter. I’m new to Rover, but definitely not new to taking care of dogs. I’ve watched tons of pups for families over the years.. big dogs, tiny dogs, anxious dogs, zoomie‑machines, couch potatoes, you name it. I’m basically just a girl who loves dogs and wants to make sure your pup feels comfy, happy, and loved while you’re gone. I’m big on routines, snuggles, long walks, and sending cute photo updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. If you want someone who treats your dog like their little personality is the main character… I’m your girl. I live in Charlotte and work full time, but pet care fits really naturally into my routine, and I’m not doing it alone. I’m home before work, after work, and on my lunch break, and my boyfriend is on a similar schedule, so your pet gets two people checking in throughout the day instead of just one. We both genuinely love animals, and having two sets of eyes and two people around means your dog or cat gets consistent attention, company, and a reliable routine. Whether it’s morning and evening walks, feeding, playtime, litter care, or just keeping your pet feeling calm and comfortable, it all fits easily into our day. Your pet won’t feel like they’re waiting around, they’ll feel like they’re hanging out with two people who actually enjoy being with them. When I’m taking care of pets in a client’s home, I keep things super simple and respectful. I follow whatever routine you already have in place, keep your space clean, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and not stressed. I’m good at sticking to feeding times, walks, litter box care, and any little details you want done a certain way. I’m calm, patient, and I always let your pet set the pace. At my place, pets have plenty of room to hang out, explore, and get cozy. It’s a clean, safe space with no chaos, and I’m always paying attention to doors, windows, and anything that could be a safety issue. I love having animals around, so they get lots of attention, cuddles, and a relaxed environment where they can just be themselves. Your pet’s comfort is the main thing I focus on, and I make sure they feel happy and secure the whole time.
“I’ve only had great experiences with Hope and would highly recommend! She is consistently reliable, punctual, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. My dog always comes back happy and relaxed, which gives me a lot of peace of mind.”

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! I’m currently working part time so have plenty of time to take the best care of your family friend! I am available for boardings, day care and walks during the week and weekend! Pets roam free in my home. They just aren’t allowed on furniture so do bring your dogs bed to sleep. I have plenty of miles for walking (on the greenway in uptown).
“Haley was amazing and Brody loved his visits with her. I am a travel nurse and we were in town for a week, I had rented an Air Bnb and needed someone to let Brody out during my 12 hour shifts. Haley was on time, had great communication and Brody loved his afternoon stills and belly rubs. It was so nice seeing her Rover card reports and not needing to worry so I could take care of my patients. If we are ever back in town I would definitely ask Haley again to look after my pup.”


About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years and have a lifelong love for dogs. I was the proud owner of a beagle named Larson for 14 wonderful years. He crossed the rainbow bridge in 2023 from natural causes, and caring for him gave me firsthand experience with the love, patience, and attention our pets deserve. Over the years, I’ve cared for many friends’ dogs while they were away on vacation. You can trust that your precious pup(s) will be in loving, dependable hands with me! I enjoy giving each dog plenty of attention and affection, including singing to them and providing gentle leg and back massages (if they enjoy them!). 😊 I’ll treat your pup(s) with the same care and love I would want for my own. I currently and unexpectedly have tons of time on my hands. I will be more than happy to care for your animal with my newfound time. I’m readily available! I live in a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath single story brick ranch home in east Charlotte. I have a big back yard that is fenced in on three sides. I live in a very safe, walkable neighborhood. I will keep your dog on leash at all times while walking and on a leash or tether while playing in the backyard. For their and my furniture’s safety I will crate your pup if I must leave my home to run an errand or two. However, I will try my best to have any errands complete prior to your dog’s arrival.
About: You won’t find anyone who loves dogs and cats more than me! I’ve had pets my entire life and been an active volunteer at animal shelters in Detroit and Charlotte for over 20 years. I currently volunteer weekly with Humane Society Charlotte and have been trained by their dog trainer and staff in dog training, dog walking, shelter enrichment and intake admin, and I'm certified as a Fear Free Shelter Animal caretaker and pet CPR. I also walk the dogs at the Char-Mack Animal Care & Control shelter. I love any breed or size and have experience handling all energy, affection, size and temperament levels. I'm skilled in walking multiple dogs, training them on basic commands and leash walking from a lifetime of doing it! *If your dog needs walking out of your apartment to another floor, please book dogwalking. Thank you. I'm bringing 20+ years of animal shelter volunteering and ownership to a dream job working with dogs and all pets! I typically work full-time remotely in social media, but I'm laid off work. I'm a believer in positive reinforcement and using Fear Free accredited professionals. I'm passionate about starting starting every animal relationship with compassionate leadership as we grow together. I'm also very passionate about animal rescue and currently own a 4 yo Shih Tzu puppy mill rescue, so I understand the roller coaster of shelter and senior dogs. I have a place in my heart for senior dogs since I've had 6 dogs through their end of life. I maintain a calm and collected, but very loving relationship with all the dogs I meet! I always do slow, leashed, neutral territory introductions with dogs. I know the signs of a dog or cat who needs space or other tensions, and how to de-escalate situations. Redirecting with treats/toys/attention is a key tool for me to keep all dogs safe, and I understand cats' temperments to help them feel safer with someone new. Your dog will always be flat leashed with me outside of the home, as well as buckled or crated in the back if transported by car. If you'd like me to work with your dogs on leash walking or commands, let me know during our meet & greet.
“Kathryn was great! She went above and beyond with a detailed report, lots of photos, and provided my pup with plenty of attention! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker!”

“My dog loves his walks with Karen. She always updates me on how he did and send lots of really cute pictures. She is attentive and has notified me when she thinks something is off (one day he had loose stools). You can tell she is a dog lover :)”

“Diem was GREAT checking in on our dog and taking her for walks. She is extremely respectful of our home, communicated well, sent sweet notes and pictures on the app, and our dog loved her. Will book again!”

“He did an excellent job! Dogs were very content when I returned. Obvious in their actions that they were well cared for. Would like to book him for regular mid day walks,”


About: I’ve lived with & loved dogs my whole life! I grew up with a black lab, Dalmatian, shitzu, and 2 toy poodles. I currently have a longhaired mini doxie named Roswell who’s the love of my life. I am that crazy dog mom who brings her dog everywhere & revolves too much of my life around him :) I’m currently working on getting my real estate license and have a lot of free time on my hands around that. I love being active and dogs so I thought what better use of my time than this! I have a fenced-in backyard that we let him sunbathe in as he wishes. My front porch is also gated so we often spend time out there each morning while I read and drink my coffee. My dog, Roswell, is small enough (& trained) to go on almost any errand with me, which I love, so I take him often to the grocery store, mall and everywhere in between. I’m a very hands on dog mom, if you can’t already tell, and would be the same for your fur-baby!

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life and recently I adopted a puppy I found roaming the streets (April 2026). Because I work from home, I have a lot of time to play with her, teach her new tricks and train her. She is very well behaved in and out of the home and fully potty trained. I absolutely love animals and am so excited to meet your furry friend(s)! ❤️ I’m currently working full time from home. I am available for dog walking after 5pm on weekdays, available for boarding any day of the week, and available to play and take out for potty breaks weekdays after 5pm and weekends anytime. I live in an apartment complex that is pet friendly and my dog stays in her crate. I ask that you provide your own crate or pet bed if they are staying in my home. When going outside they will be leashed anywhere we go (except the dog park). I have a dog park 5 minutes from my home that I like to visit weekly.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Charlotte is $20

Wonderful experience with Jamie! She was right on time, very personable, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. Hank and Tony were in great hands! It’s always reassuring to have someone who truly enjoys spending time with your pups. I would absolutely recommend Jamie and happily book her again!

Lyndon is wonderful in every way! It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. She was wonderful to communicate with and made the entire experience easy and stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Lyndon to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to look after their pups. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Jenn saved the day on short notice! We booked her just a day in advance, and she was incredibly reliable, following all of our care instructions perfectly. Our dog, Diesel, had a great walk and loved spending time with her. Jenn is awesome—we will 100% book her again!

Victoria was AMAZING! This was our first time using Rover and she was so reassuring throughout the entire process. She took extra special care and had excellent communication. I can’t wait to continue using Victoria in the future! She took amazing care of Millie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Charlotte is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 5,301 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Charlotte. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Charlotte. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Charlotte after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Charlotte. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
