About: I grew up with a golden retriever and have continued caring for dogs into adulthood, including regularly watching my sister’s dog over the past 4 years. He’s a 95 lb gentle giant, so I’m very comfortable with larger dogs, but I truly enjoy pets of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and giving basic medications as long as your pet is generally cooperative. I always aim to keep things consistent with what they’re used to so they feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. What really sets me apart is how reliable and attentive I am. I run my own business, so I’m naturally very organized, communicative, and respectful of routines. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that seriously. You can expect clear updates, photos, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with your pet. I’m also happy to care for cats and provide drop-in visits that keep things low-stress and consistent for them as well. I run my own business, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my day. I’m able to plan my work around visits and walks, which means I can be consistent and reliable with timing. I’m available for drop-ins and walks throughout the week and on weekends, and I do my best to accommodate preferred time windows whenever possible. Since I’ll be caring for pets in your home, my priority is making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I take the time to follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, or any specific preferences your pet has. I try to keep everything consistent so your pet feels at ease while you’re away. I’m very respectful of your home and will treat it with care while I’m there. I also make sure pets are secure before leaving, double-checking doors, gates, and anything else important to their safety. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I grew up with many pets and always have animals in my life, like the 2 cats I have and love now for 10 years Every day I take care of a my 10 year old queen cat and at 2 month old kitten that we just adopted. I walk a couple of dogs regularly and have some cats that i am a go to for when their parents are away I am neat and focused when taking a dog out or taking care of cats. I clean up after feeding and litter boxes and put everything where it belongs before departing
About: I stand out as a dog sitter because I treat every dog like my own—with genuine care, patience, and attention to their unique personality. I don’t just provide basic walks and feeding; I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so both pets and owners feel completely at ease I work remotely and can set aside plenty of time to walk, check - in, or care for your dog while working my full time job. I have key fobs in and out of my complex as well as the rail trail to safely walk on back and forth with police around.
About: I have been pet owners for years & there’s nothing I love more than spending time with animals. I love to take walks to the dog park & have a good game of fetch. I also take pictures of pets that I taken care of before so let me know if that’s something you would like. I currently work from home so I spend all day with my pets. My job lets me be able to still take my dog on multiple walks a day, have play time, go to the park & more. The play area is fenced in, I can easily crate your dog if needed. In my home I can provide everything your pet needs like if it was their own home and vice versa.
“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!”
“This was our first experience we had working with a dog walker . Rachel absolutely loves dogs. She happily met with us a couple of times for a meet and greet. Once at her house and once at ours. We loved that she sent pictures, showed us the walking route, and gave us a doggie report after each walk. The days she was scheduled to walk were hot and her flexibility to come earlier than planned was highly appreciated. We will certainly use Rachel again.”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets for my friends, neighbors and loved ones over the past 4 years. These have included dogs, cats, and once, a friend’s leopard gecko lizard! I pretty much like all animals of all sizes. If you hire me, your little (or big) buddy will be in safe, competent, and trustworthy hands, whether they need company during your vacation, or if we’re just out for a brief walk! I have flexibility to care for your pets and attend to their needs during work hours! I will always prioritize your pet first, and I will communicate any changes in my schedule well in advance. I can easily come by and help out your pet while you are out of town. I will happily play with your dog or cat, and will make sure their food, water and bathroom needs are taken care of.
“Hope was incredible with our little one! We traveled over the holiday and were a little worried as this was the first time we would be away during the Christmas holiday. Hope was consistent in communication and sent the best pictures. We highly recommend booking with Hope!!”
“I had such a great experience! One of my dogs is usually very shy around new people, but she was so gentle and patient with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog walker, and I plan on reaching out again if I need help in the future!”
“Hi Anthony-I appreciated you being available in short notice. And I’m grateful for the time you gave on Friday. I am going to cancel the bookings for this week though because the extra dog fee was more than I am used to paying for a 30 minute walk. It has nothing to do with you - you were great.”
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 been taking care of both cats and dogs since I was 10! I’ve had both cats and dogs throughout their lifetime but unfortunately a pet of my own is not conducive to my current lifestyle, which is why I came to Rover to hang out with your amazing pets! I am extremely reliable for walking, feeding, exercising, or anything else your furry friend may need! I am new to the Charlotte area and hoping to get a dog of my own in the future. I currently have a lot of free time and would love to explore the city with a furry friend! I am willing to care for pets in their everyday home and fulfill housekeeping/other needs that may be necessary. I am also extremely experienced with houseplants and available to care for plants while pet sitting in-home.
“Tre has become like family. He is always available to take care of Dax when I need and treats him as if he was his own. He’s very personable, responsible, reliable, accommodating to my crazy schedule and he will definitely continue to be my go-to.”
“The dogs loved their walk with Kaitlyn. They were tuckered out when they got back and slept soundly while I worked from home. Perfect situation! Can’t wait for their next walk today!”

Eric and Anna are very reliable and communicative. A great thing about them is their flexibility with timing- they were able to accomodate all different times I preferred for them to walk my dog. Also- they leave the best Rover cards with the cutest pictures you'll ever see of your dog! I appreciate them going the extra mile with the professional photo-ops each walk!
This was my first time using Rover and Anvesha was amazing! She exceeded my expectations. She’s passionate about dogs and is willing to go above and beyond for the well being of my dog. She was great at communicating which made this experience less anxious for me. We got so lucky with her! Thank you, i genuinely appreciate you Anvesha!
Kaitlyn has been absolutely wonderful with Marcel. She is reliable, communicative, professional, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she works with. From the start, she made me feel completely comfortable and confident leaving Marcel in her care. She provided me with updates, photos, and detailed check-ins, which gives me so much peace of mind. Marcel was excited to see her and came back happy, well cared for, and exercised. Kaitlyn is also very attentive to routines, instructions, and little details, which really shows how dedicated she is. It’s not easy finding someone you fully trust with your pet, but Kaitlyn has exceeded expectations in every way. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and professional dog walker or sitter. She truly goes above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her!
Amanda is great and super communicative. She was also able to accommodate a last minute walk for Finley which gave me peace of mind while I was away from home. I have already booked my next visit with Amanda and will definitely be using her services in the future!
To say that Rachel will go the extra mile is an understatement! We left and forgot to double check our key box to make sure she could get in. She troubleshot the situation and made sure Freya & Zeke were cared for. She gave them lots of love and extra long walks. So thankful for her! Highly recommend Rachel!!
Tracy is awesome! We connected super quickly as we needed a sitter since my boyfriend recently started working a new job! Within a day, Tracy had offered to meet our puppy so we could all get acquainted, and showed up to walk her just a few days later. She also leaves amazing notes every walk so we know what our girl was up to (which is amazing) and sends us pics/videos! I would highly recommend Tracy!!! :)
