About: I’m the definition of a “dog person” — we’ve had several of our own, and we’ve been a boarding stop for friends and family for years. I’m not working full-time right now, so I have plenty of time to exercise your fur-friend, or just drop in for a visit! If you have any specific questions or concerns, I’d be happy to answer them! I’m not working full-time at the moment, so I’m available any day, at any time! Plenty of time for long walks or drop-ins, whatever your pet needs. Whatever you and your pet are comfortable with! I’ve dealt with tiny dogs and huge dogs, seniors and young puppies — they’re all special to me.
“Linett is the absolute best 10/10 service!!!! We cannot thank you enough for caring for our pup Fenway. Your flexibility, consistent communication, and attention to Fen definitely put us at ease. We appreciate you, and Fen absolutely LOVES you lol. We will be booking again”
“Latrice was available last minute on Christmas eve/Christmas morning of all days. Was literally a lifesaver that she was available last minute on a holiday. My puppy was happy as could be when I picked him up and I could tell he was well taken care of. :) I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Big milestone for Gus this week—his very first stay with Isabella, and it couldn’t have gone better. 🐾 About a month ago, we did a meet-and-greet so they could get acquainted, and today was the perfect chance for them to spend more time together and strengthen that bond before our trip next week. It means so much knowing he’s becoming comfortable, confident, and happy in her care. Isabella has such a calm, gentle presence, and Gus settled in almost immediately. Even though it was just a day visit, she sent texts and photos throughout the day, which gave us such peace of mind. The best part? Gus had such a wonderful time that he didn’t even want to go home. 💛 That’s the kind of reassurance every dog parent hopes for!”
About: New here 👋🏾 and I'm really looking forward to caring for your fur babies. I've always had pets for as long as I can remember. I love animals, especially dogs. I WFH so i'm available all day to your pet. I have a puppy of my own, he will really enjoy having friends around! I work from home, so i'm able for multiple potty breaks and 15 minute lunch time walks with your pet. Some evenings I have a workout class that I like to attend, so it'd be great if your pet is used to being in a cage. There is a dog park and a recreational park near me. My puppy and I frequent both and i'm happy to bring your fur baby along with me if that is something that they like!
About: Zoology graduate with veterinary assistant volunteer experience, farm work, dog boarding experience, and skilled in administering medications. Experienced with anxious, reactive, puppy, senior, and special-needs pets. I work remotely for a veterinary company, giving me a flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, and companionship. I provide a safe, loving environment and understand pet hazards. I avoid toxic plants, irritating plug-ins, and prioritize comfort, routine, and each pet’s needs.
“Ana was great! She was very responsive and accommodating with scheduling. I so appreciated all the photos and updates she provided throughout the day, it was easy to tell my pup was having a wonderful time!”
About: I've been around animals since I was a little kid. Grew up on my grandparents' farm taking care of dogs, bunnies, pigs, sheep, cows, you name it. That's where my love for them started. I've trained every dog I've ever owned myself — from a big Rottweiler to a tiny Chihuahua-pug mix, and now my German Shepherd that I raised from a puppy. I'm good at reading their body language, teaching manners, and fixing leash reactivity so walks are actually enjoyable. Been walking dogs for friends and family for years and house-sat a bunch of times. I'll treat your pets like my own — give them the love and attention they deserve, keep them well-behaved, and make sure you have total peace of mind while you're gone. Your dog will be spoiled, safe, and happy with me. I recently transitioned to full-time pet care, so I'm home all day, every day; weekdays and weekends. That means your dog gets my full attention, whether they're at my place or yours. I take them for potty breaks, longer walks, and plenty of playtime to keep them happy and never bored. In my home, the dog always gets my full attention. I'll make sure they feel safe and comfortable, keep them entertained with playtime, and work on training. I love watching them go from not knowing a command to nailing a solid sit, heel, or place. Of course I'll handle all the basics too, feeding exactly how you tell me, potty breaks on schedule, and making sure they're never stressed or bored. Whether it's at my place or yours, I'll treat your dog like my own and give them the attention they need.
About: I have been taking care of my dog for 6 years and have experience dogsitting for over 10years. My dog loves to have a friend over and we love to make their stay as amazing as we can. As a dog owner, I want to provide the relief that your dog is well taken care of of while you are away 😊 I currently work from home. Your dog would get plenty of walks throughout the day as well as playtime with my dog. I also have a small courtyard they can access for potty breaks and smell breaks. I have a very small fenced in courtyard for potty breaks and just hanging out outside. I take my dog on walks multiple times a day and we have an afternoon/evening playtime session. My dog Charlie, is a gentle giant and loves guests.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 15. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm currently working on part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups!. I'm available for boarding on weekdays all day and on weekends after 11 pm. I have an apartment all to myself and plenty of space and time to care for your pups, and together we can accommodate our needs. Si usted lo necesita hablo español.
About: I’ve been a dedicated pet owner for years and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’ve cared for my cat, Willow, for the past three years and previously owned a dog for several years, giving me experience with pets of different personalities, routines, and needs. As a physician, I’m naturally detail-oriented, dependable, and calm under pressure…qualities I bring to pet care as well. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Always a text away I’m currently studying for my board exams, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to spend most of my day at home for the next two months. I enjoy having animals around while I study and naturally take frequent breaks to play, provide enrichment, refresh water, clean litter boxes, or take dogs out for walks and potty breaks. This routine allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and consistent care throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space for your pet to relax and feel at ease. While my cat, Willow, is friendly and does well with other animals, I keep her in a separate room during boarding to ensure every pet has their own space and to help them settle in without added stress. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away
“Ryan is awesome!! He has watched my 2 large golden doodles for a long weekend, and for daycare and both experiences have been seamless! Ryan’s responds almost instantaneously and is always available in a pinch. He makes pick up and drop off super easy and send lots of updates! My dogs have a blast playing in his backyard.”
“Allison kept our furbaby for the day and our girl had a blast. She enjoyed every moment of it. I was nervous about leaving her for a few hours but I was updated with picture which made me feel better. My baby came back smelling so good too. Definitely book with Allison.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Charlotte
Audrey was absolutely wonderful with Tanto! From the moment we met her, we felt like he was in great hands. She watched him for about six hours, took him on walks, played hide-and-seek with treats to keep him mentally engaged, and gave him plenty of love and attention throughout the day. She also took the time to comfort Tonto after we left, which meant a lot to us and showed how patient and caring she is. It was clear she genuinely cared about making sure he felt safe and happy. We really appreciated the updates and could tell Tanto had a great time. We'd absolutely trust Audrey with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and reliable dog sitter!
Kelly was wonderful with Ellie! She was flexible with both drop off and pick up times, which made everything so easy. Ellie came home happy, and I felt confident she was well cared for throughout the day. I would definitely recommend Kelly and would happily book with her again!
I feel so lucky to have found Winnie as a sitter for Rowan! Whether she’s there for daycare or boarding, I always know she’s in loving and capable hands. I especially appreciate the photos and updates throughout the day. Winnie consistently goes above and beyond, even taking extra time and care to help Rowan feel comfortable when she’s anxious. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Linett took such wonderful care of my dog, Khan. She was very accommodating, punctual, and great about sending me adorable snuggle pics throughout the day. Khan loved her so much he didn’t want to come home with me! I will be booking Linett over and over again and can’t recommend her enough.
We needed someone to watch Indie for the day while we were moving, and it was such a great experience. From the photos and updates throughout the day, Indie looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She even fell asleep as soon as she got home, which is always a sign that she had a fun and busy day! We really appreciated the communication and would definitely recommend Grace to others. Thank you for taking such great care of Indie! 🐾

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Charlotte commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.

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.
