“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!!!”
“Bianca watched our girl Bindi in our home over the Thanksgiving break. She was easy to communicate with and sent us daily updates. She even picked up some packages for us that were unexpectedly delivered. Everything was spotless when we returned to a happy and relaxed pup. Would absolutely recommend her to others and would love to have her watch Bindi again. :)”
“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!”
“Ellen has been fantastic and very transparent when it came to our home and our dogs! She was so easy to work with and understood our worries as first timers to Rover. Will recommend and book again!”
“Lindsey has done both drop in visits and overnight stays with our 7 year old Husky. Every time she takes great care of him, is on time, and is responsive. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“The timing could not have been worse, our Wheaton Terrier, Winston fell a little sick just as we were about to go away for a few days. Fortunately for us, we found John on Rover.com a couple days before. He looked after Winston, performing all the daily routine activities, (scheduled feedings, walks twice per day, etc), as well as administering medication since Winston was feeling is best. John provided a few pictures and videos as well. John did a great job watching over Winston.”
“Karleen did such an amazing job with my 3 dogs!! My house has never looked this nice upon a dog sitting return! Considering it rained all weekend this huge!! Highly recommend.”
About: I'm Nick, and I've been a lifelong pet enthusiast with a deep passion for dogs and cats. My journey into pet care began at the age of 10 when I took on the responsibility of caring for my own dog. Over the years, I've had the privilege of being involved in raising two litters of adorable puppies with my family, and I've watched over our family dogs well into their golden years. We had a special place in our hearts for Doberman Pinschers, along with a few lovable mutts, as our loyal companions. Additionally, although I'm slightly allergic, I've shared my life with two charming cats during my upbringing. I've often been the go-to person for family and friends when they needed a trustworthy caregiver for their dogs and cats while they were on vacation or weekend getaways. I've had the privilege of caring for a wide range of breeds, from small and feisty to large and gentle giants. I take great pride in my attention to detail, particularly when it comes to pets with special needs or requiring medication. Your furry family members will receive the same love, care, and attention that I've always provided to my own. Currently, I have a beautiful 60-pound Boxer mix, and I understand the importance of a pet's comfort in their own environment. I understand that life can get busy, so I'm here to accommodate your pet's needs in my schedule. I'm most flexible from Monday-Friday, making it the perfect time to ensure your pet recovers some midday care while at work. I’m also available for weekend or multi day care when you leave on a trip out of town. Note: I won’t be staying at your house, but can arrange multiple visits throughout the day to ensure specific care. My love for walking is a perfect match for your dog's exercise needs, and it's a wonderful way for me to stay active too. Long walks are preferred, and I stick to safe, well-known routes to ensure the utmost security for your furry friend. The safety of your beloved pet is my number one priority. I'm meticulous when it comes to securing and double-checking leashes, especially for energetic puppies. Ensuring your senior cat or dog receives their medications on time is a responsibility I take very seriously. I believe in treating your pets just as I've always treated my own, with love, patience, and respect. Your pet's environment will be respected, and their routines maintained to minimize any disruption to their daily life. Rest assured, your pets are in caring, capable hands. Their happiness, health, and safety are my top concerns. I look forward to becoming your pet's new best friend and providing them with the love and care they deserve. Let's embark on this pawsitively wonderful journey together! 🐾
“Amber did an amazing job and took the best care of our older dog. She is such a sweet person and working with her really is a pleasure. She is punctual and attentive. She sent us status updates & photos which made us feel much more at ease while we were in a new city. We adore her and know your pet will too!”
“Amy was wonderful with our girls! She was very communicative and we could tell the girls were having a great time while we were away. We’ll definitely be using Amy when we go out of town in the future!”
“Erin did a great job watching my elderly dog! Our dog seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. Our home looks untouched after she stayed there. Would definitely use Erin again and would recommend her!”
“Yvonne was able to help us again and watch our two fur babies for a quick overnight trip, and it was great! She was up-front about her schedule so there would be no surprises, and she let us know how things were going on the day we came home and kept us up to date on when she was leaving. Our pup was so excited to see her when she showed up, and she didn't have any issues staying behind and watching us leave as she was excited to have a new friend in the house. Thanks again, Yvonne, we appreciate your help and are glad to have built a relationship!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Charlotte
Rachel has been a great sitter! She’s house sat for me multiple times now and has been walking my dogs biweekly for a couple of months. She’s communicative, thoughtful, and trustworthy. It’s a relief to be able to travel and trust that Rachel will care for my animals and house like I would.
Caroline was amazing and so caring with our two dogs! One is an anxious rescue mix and one is a senior golden retriever, so they are not always the absolute easiest. They clearly took to her right away and felt comfortable while she was house sitting. Caroline clearly communicates about her schedule and asks questions when needed. She can also send updates as little or as much as you’d like, which put me at ease while traveling. Will definitely use Caroline for house / pet sitting again!
Macey was fantastic with my puppy and my cat this weekend. She was attentive and went above and beyond to care for them. I knew they were both in great care. Macey gave me regular updates on both of them so I was always reassured while I was away. I will definitely have Macey come and watch my fur babies again in the future. Could not recommend her enough.
Melanie was fantastic watching our 13yo cavapoo. She was communicative, responsive, and made sure to take him on plenty of adventures. She has such a great, calm temperament that our dog Kingston immediately responded well do during their meet and greet which gave us so much trust in leaving our dog with her for 10 days. While we weee away, Melanie made sure to give us updates and checkin. We’re so grateful he was in such good hands - thank you Melanie!
Courtney was fantastic watching both my pups over the weekend. She provided regular updates, was very responsive to all my texts and I really appreciated the photo updates of how the days were going. She kept their schedule/routines and both dogs were happy and relaxed when I got home. My senior dog was eating normally while I was gone which is usually not the case. I really appreciate the time Courtney spent with her to make sure she was comfy while I was away. I will definitely be booking with Courtney again!
Lucia always does an amazing job with my dog Todd! this past weekend he was having a flare up of some GI Issues and i left Lucia last minute instructions for medications that she followed perfectly so he had no problems. he had a great weekend with her and we will look forward to booking her again :)
Regan was a fantastic pet sitter. She sent lots of updates and accommodated all of my pets different needs. I recently adopted a new rescue dog and she was great working with some of her anxiety. All of my pets enjoyed and had fun with her during the stay. Left my home clean and I will definitely use her in the future ☺️
When Madie came to meet the pups and I they fell in love with her immediately. After talking and hanging out with her for 30 minutes, I knew my dogs would be in great hands. She sent me pictures throughout the week and kept me up on how they were all doing. When I got home from my trip, she had even baked cookies for me for my birthday! Such a sweet gesture. I am definitely going to use her again the next time I go out of town.
Chea is absolutely wonderful and took great care of our two dogs on our recent extended vacation abroad. She looked after our home while we were away and treated our fur babies like they were her own. Her updates were welcomed daily and it was such a relief to know that everything was taken care of while we were away. I can’t recommend her enough and hope she’ll be back at some point to love on our two again. Thank you, Chea!!!!
Sarah was awesome! I was transparent that I was a bit nervous about leaving Millie because I was going out of the country. She was great about sending daily updates with photos and putting me at ease that everything was going well. My apartment was clean and looked basically untouched when I returned, which was great after a long travel day. Overall I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone who needs pet care while they are out of town. She has great communication, is reliable, and definitely treats your pets like they are her own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Charlotte is $55 per night as of November 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Charlotte. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
