“Brittney did fantastic with my 2 dogs. They seem very happy when I came home. Brittney also kept my home as she found it. Definitely recommend Brittany and will consider her to sit my dogs again.”
“Kimberly (Kimmy) is an extremely responsible and thoughtful young adult who accommodated us with a lot of changes to our pet sitting situation this weekend. She was a great help, sent photos, and the dogs were very happy. Thank you again. We look forward to getting your services again in the future when we need a great pet sitter.!!!”
“Kallie stayed over with my dog for a whole week! She was amazing, gave great updates & cared for my dog well. I know he was in good hands with Kallie! She was very responsive during the week & our dog really loved her. I'll definitely be asking Kallie to watch my pup in the future!”

About: Hey! I’m Kenzie, your friendly neighborhood dog sitter. I’m new to Rover, but definitely not new to taking care of dogs. I’ve watched tons of pups for families over the years.. big dogs, tiny dogs, anxious dogs, zoomie‑machines, couch potatoes, you name it. I’m basically just a girl who loves dogs and wants to make sure your pup feels comfy, happy, and loved while you’re gone. I’m big on routines, snuggles, long walks, and sending cute photo updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. If you want someone who treats your dog like their little personality is the main character… I’m your girl. I live in Charlotte and work full time, but pet care fits really naturally into my routine, and I’m not doing it alone. I’m home before work, after work, and on my lunch break, and my boyfriend is on a similar schedule, so your pet gets two people checking in throughout the day instead of just one. We both genuinely love animals, and having two sets of eyes and two people around means your dog or cat gets consistent attention, company, and a reliable routine. Whether it’s morning and evening walks, feeding, playtime, litter care, or just keeping your pet feeling calm and comfortable, it all fits easily into our day. Your pet won’t feel like they’re waiting around, they’ll feel like they’re hanging out with two people who actually enjoy being with them. When I’m taking care of pets in a client’s home, I keep things super simple and respectful. I follow whatever routine you already have in place, keep your space clean, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and not stressed. I’m good at sticking to feeding times, walks, litter box care, and any little details you want done a certain way. I’m calm, patient, and I always let your pet set the pace. At my place, pets have plenty of room to hang out, explore, and get cozy. It’s a clean, safe space with no chaos, and I’m always paying attention to doors, windows, and anything that could be a safety issue. I love having animals around, so they get lots of attention, cuddles, and a relaxed environment where they can just be themselves. Your pet’s comfort is the main thing I focus on, and I make sure they feel happy and secure the whole time.
“What a sweet, sweet, sweet girl that treated my two little dogs with the best of Care. She is bubbly and friendly well spoken and seemed to genuinely have my dogs best concern. She sent me plenty of pictures and notes on how they were doing. I would absolutely recommend Averee.”
“Adam was amazing! This was my first time leaving My dog for the weekend with someone we didn’t personally know. Otto is reactive and anxious so it’s hard to find someone that can navigate caring for him especially on walks. Adam was great with otto and sent lots of updates and pictures. He was very caring and attentive. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pets!”
“Zora did wonderful with both my dogs! Especially considering she saved us last minute and helping out! She stopped by to meet them the day before and sent us pictures and updates throughout the night. Super grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her services.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old, whether that was my family dog or my neighbors or friends needed a walker/sitter I am in school, so I will have more than enough time to spend with your pups! I am available everyday after 4pm except thursday and saturdays which i am available after 6pm I’d love to take your pups on walks and I am able to provide medication needed, I am able to stay for extended stays if needed
“Malia did such a great job taking care of our sweet puppy. She babysat him for a long weekend while we were out of town and they had a blast together! She provided regular updates and was super responsive. Our flight home ended up getting delayed and she even stayed a bit longer to make sure our dog had the proper care. He can’t wait to see her again. Thank you Malia!”

Courtney has taken care of our pups a few times now and I highly recommend her! She’s so friendly and professional, she’s great with the dogs who seem to really love her, and she’s a very thoughtful house guest … she always takes excellent care of our home and our dogs when we’re away! An easy five star review every time!
We’ve tried several dog sitters this year and Melanie was by far the best one. She was super communicative and followed every request we made for Charli. She also made sure the house was nice and clean for us when we came back. Charli also was really happy in the updates sent and when we arrived home.
Brittney is the best. She was so communicative and texted me multiple times/day with photos & videos. She took my pups on super long walks and I came home to a clean house and happy, well cared for pups. I cannot say enough good things about Brittney. I’ll absolutely be reaching out to her the next time I’m traveling. Thank you so much Brittney!!!
Jessie was amazing with Winston! She watched him at my place over the weekend, and he immediately felt comfortable with her. She kept me updated with the cutest pictures throughout the weekend and made sure he got his walks in. It was great knowing he was well taken care of, and I also really appreciated coming home to my place clean and just how I left it. I’d absolutely book with her again!
We have never left our 4 pet children for such a long stretch of 10 days, but after meeting Marcella felt confident to do so. She arrived right on time and had an immediate rapport with our dog, and showed love for our quirky hairless cats. She checked in daily with adorable photos and was highly communicative. She even stayed a little longer when our flight home was delayed. We returned to a clean home and happy pets. Highly recommend Marcella for taking great care of your pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Charlotte is $55 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,041 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
