“Karleen has been an amazing dog sitter. We trusted her completely to look after our dog and home when we were away.

At very short notice she was able to extend the stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

About: I have a wealth of experience caring for dogs of all ages. I understand how to create safe, loving, enriching environments for all breeds and all life stages. I have a lot of experience walking reactive dogs on a leash with no drama and no yelling. I know what it takes to be a leader for all dog breeds and all levels of reactivity. I also have experience potty training dogs of all ages, and I can help maintain basic skill training when I walk them/feed them/stay with them as needed. I love senior dogs, too, and I am skilled with insulin shots, meds, and extra special loving for senior pups who need it. I am currently an online student. I have open availability 7 days per week, and my husband and I do not have children. I am taking 3 classes online this semester, so I have plenty of time to care for your home and your pets. I am reliable, easy to communicate with, and punctual. You can always count on me to treat your home and your pets with care and respect. I care for my pets like they are my human offspring. I vow to care for your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would exercise in my personal home. I appreciate the opportunity to make some extra money by caring for your pets and or your home while you travel for work or vacation, and I will respect this role as I would my corporate retail job that I held for the last 10 years.🐾💕
“Yvonne did a wonderful job taking care of my little fur baby while I was out of town. She was very communicative and sent daily updates and pictures during her time at my house. Rooney seemed to enjoy his time with her and from all the pictures seemed to connect with her very quickly. She also kept the house tidy during her stay which is very appreciated by me. She will be my first pick dog sitter from now on.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Charlotte
Marissa watched our dog and cat at our house from Thursday to Sunday and was fantastic. She met with me before the stay so I could walk her through everything, and she was incredibly responsive the whole time, sending updates with pictures every morning and night. She left our house in great condition, honestly cleaner than when we left. We can't wait to book Marissa again!
Lindsey is the BEST. Our management company needed to do a lot last minute while we were gone, and she was so accommodating making sure the dogs were out of the way and that everyone had access to our home. PLUS, our dogs were super happy and our home was in great shape!
She was beyond fabulous and we'll definitely use her again. If she's available for your needs you should look no further...our dog LOVED her. She was professional, punctual, reliable, communicative, and responsive before during and after our engagement. Five STARS is not hype - she earned them!
We are so grateful to have found Sara! She went above and beyond to make sure our nervous Aussie was comfortable, exercised, and well-loved while we were out of town. The communication was fantastic, and it was clear from the start that she truly loves animals. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!
Thank you Camryn for taking amazing care of our pup and our house while we were gone for a week! Camryn was communicative and flexible. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our pup was in great hands. We will be using Camryn again and recommend her to others for sitting in your home.
Kristen took wonderful care of our dog! She stayed at our house for a week while we were away (which I’ve never done before) and allowed him to feel comfortable. She took him on his usual walks, played with him, and gave him lots of cuddles. She sent picture updates which was great bc we missed him! We will definitely have Kristen care for our pup again!
Chea is such a special human being, and an incredible dog sitter! We were so grateful to have found her to house/dog sit for our 2 anxious rescue pups. She exceeded expectations in every way... even cleaning and doing laundry before she left (!!). We had total peace of mind while we were gone. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Charlotte on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,110 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Charlotte. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Charlotte walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Charlotte maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Charlotte. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
