“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’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: 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.
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 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.
About: For as long as I can remember, I have had the pleasure of living in a house filled with pets. Our family dogs were our greatest treasures, and I started dog and cat sitting for friends, family, and neighbors in middle school. When I was in highschool, my mom became a Rover sitter, and I loved to join her on her pet sitting and walking adventures. Now that I am a young adult, I’m so excited to start that journey on my own! I work full- time in consulting, but I have a hybrid and flexible schedule. I am happy to carve out time before work, during my lunch break, and after work to give your pets care and attention! On days that I am working remotely, I have the flexibility to take more pockets of time for walks and breaks. I understand the safety and comfortability of your pets is your number one priority, so I will strive to understand how I can best guarantee that for you!
About: I've been sitting through Rover for almost 6 years now! I have experience with dogs and cats, administering medicine, working with puppies & kittens, caring for seniors and overall having fun! Back in Charlotte! After 4 years away in Florida and NYC, I'm back home and ready to offer all of my services again. I'm currently working remote/home full-time which gives me plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. FOR ANY RETURNING CLIENTS: I have my own fur babies now! If your puppy is iffy about cats, let's link up and see how they do. I have three kitties of my own who love all the pet guests that have come and gone. Pepperoni takes some warming up, but he’s always obsessed with his new buddy after a day! Anchovy and Mushroom are easygoing and love every animal from small kittens to big dogs! Your fur baby will be free to roam with their new besties: Roni, Chovy, and Shroomie. I'll be sure to mimic their schedules at home as best as possible. Be sure to bring any crates or special items you know they'll need to be comfortable. I also need to build my puppy stash back up so make sure to pack any favorite toys, blankies, treats, and food.
“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.”
“What a pleasure to have Karen A look after my puppies while we were out of town. She has a truly gentle nature that I know my dogs loved! And the daily updates made me feel like I was home! I cannot thank you enough Karen ❤️”
“Jack was fantastic with our dogs. Very kind and communicative. Our dogs loved him and we trusted him completely with him. Can’t wait to work with him again!”
“Kathryn has been great with my two pups. Always giving updates, taking lots of pictures and overall going above & beyond for the pups and me. We will definitely be using her in the future when needed!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Enzo! He was incredibly responsive to my initial outreach. When we met him, we just instantly could tell he had wonderful, positive energy, and he connected with us and our dog immediately. He was very prompt for all of the scheduled visits and sent many photos and videos. Our dog also takes medication twice a day, which she doesn’t like. Enzo was incredibly comfortable with administering the medication… probably more at ease than I am! We highly recommend Enzo!”
About: All throughout my childhood I grew up with dogs! I truly believe I was a dog in another lifetime. If we are being honest I like dogs more than humans. I always instantly feel connected with every dog I meet and treat them with great care as if they were my own. As for experience, I'm well aware that all dogs do is eat, sleep, and play. Emphasis on the play! I avidly believe that dogs should be shown constant affection. I would hate to be locked in a house all day alone so why should dogs have to be? Just looking for some fur friends to walk and hangout with! I am open to all dogs and am willing to work with all personalities. Pet care is already a consistent part of our daily routine. We schedule time each day for feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. We also stay on top of grooming, cleaning, preventative care, and veterinary appointments as needed. Our schedules allow us to provide dependable care throughout the week, and we consider our pets part of the family. I’m new to the area and currently have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day and week to give your pups plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship! I care for every pet according to their owner’s instructions and usual routine, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I have a small, fenced-in yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, as well as a dog of my own. Any pets staying in my home would be introduced to him carefully and supervised closely to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I carefully secure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses, maintain a clean and calm environment, and send regular photos and updates so owners can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Charlotte
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!
Cristal was amazing walking my dog Murphy while I was out of the country! She took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly treated Murphy like her own. I never had to worry about how he was doing while I was away. I’m very happy with the care she provided and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dependable to care for their pets!
Dylan has been absolutely wonderful with Dolly! She’s always reliable and on time, takes her on great daily walks, and is so thoughtful about keeping me updated. I really appreciate that she lets me know if anything seems off, even little things like noticing an accident in the apartment. She consistently goes above and beyond, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing Dolly is with someone so dependable and caring. I’m so grateful to have found her!
Kelsey is always on time and very dependable. She is great about taking pictures and sending a very detailed report card after each visit. My dog has become just as comfortable with her as he is with me. Normally he doesn’t eat, or allow tummy rubs from anyone, only me. He has become so comfortable with Kelsey that he allows her to do these things and more! I would recommend her to anyone with a fur baby. She is kind, caring, and friendly. I am so thankful I found her.
