“Taylor was lovely! Our house was clean when we got back despite our gremlins running amok in our absence. She was communicative everyday and our babies loved on her and snuggled with her too. ♡”
“This is the second time John watched Petey. My dog is older and takes medication so not high needs but still more than some. John always sends pictures and update and put my mind at ease that my dog is being well taken care of while I’m gone.”
“Christine has been an absolute lifesaver! She's incredibly reliable, and my dog Toto loves her. I'm able to be at work without any worries knowing that Toto is in such good hands. Christine goes above and beyond every time, and I will definitely continue booking her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter!”

“Our pets are always happy when we return to the house after Lauren has taken such good care of them. The cat has had her medicine and the dog has been entertained. Thank you, Lauren.”
“Adam was amazing and took great care of our girl, Bug. We have been looking for a dog sitter for over two years as our dog is dog aggressive and can be a lot to handle. Adam quickly learned to use both the e-collar and pinch collar given to us by our trainers. He sent us updates and followed our instructions to a tee. He was an amazing dog sitter and truly cares about your pets. I couldn’t thank him enough for staying with Bug. If you are skeptical about having someone watch your dog or stay in your house, Adam is a great fit and cares for your pets and possessions. We came back to a happy girl and clean apartment. Thank you, Adam!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Charlotte
Lucia was fantastic!! We had her stay at our house with our two dogs for a few nights. Her communication was amazing with consistent updates each morning and evening with plenty of adorable photos. She walked them twice a day, played ball with them in the yard, and let them sleep with her at night. Our younger dog is only 7 months old and she was so patient with him, making sure he got his puppy energy out. It was so comforting knowing they were getting the love and routine they are used to. We will absolutely have her watch them again!
Diego took wonderful care of our 8-week-old puppy. He was very attentive and caring, and made sure to spend plenty of time playing with him. Thank you, Diego, for being so professional and caring. We highly recommend you and will definitely trust you with our puppy again!
Anna was a fantastic fit for Duke! I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing Duke was in caring hands. She sent us pictures and updates regularly, which the kids loved! I would highly recommend her to my family and friends for any of their pet sitting needs.
This was my third time having Yvonne watch the Bassets, and once again she did a fantastic job. She is reliable, communicative, flexible, and always takes great care of the dogs and my home. This trip involved coordinating a handoff with another Rover sitter, and Yvonne handled everything directly and seamlessly without me needing to manage the transition while I was away. It was another completely stress-free experience, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book Yvonne again. Highly recommend!
This was my first time using Haley, and she was fantastic. The Bassets loved her, communication was great, and she took excellent care of both the dogs and my home. She was flexible with timing and coordinated the handoff with my other Rover sitter seamlessly, which made being away incredibly easy on my end. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and I came home to happy dogs and a well-cared-for home. I would absolutely use Haley again and highly recommend her!
John is an amazing human and even better dog sitter. Our 70lb bully had emergency spinal surgery 10 days before a planned trip that we could not cancel. Although our doggie required special care-John was more than capable and willing to help. He has genuine care and compassion for his wards and maintains great communication. Made our travel much more stress free-since our guy was in good hands. We sincerely appreciate John time and attention to our recovering boy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Charlotte on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,130 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
