“Yenny stayed with my pups for 2 weeks and did a wonderful job!! She stayed in constant communication with me, was so sweet and kind to my dogs, and took care of my house as if it was her own. I would happily book with her again!”
“Teagan did a great job watching Niko and left my apartment immaculate. Very kind and provided regular updates for Niko which put my mind at ease and let me enjoy my trip to the fullest. Definitely found a long term dog sitter!”
“Catherine took great care me of our dog and communicated well and sent pictures during her five night stay. The house was in good shape and everything in order. I would definitely use her again.”
“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. ♡”
“Brittney stayed with our two dogs for a weekend (one adult dog with some anxiety, and one energetic potty-training puppy!) and she did an amazing job. The dogs were so happy to have a new friend staying with them and we'll definitely book her again!”
“Jeni was amazing! The boys were very well taken care and seemed to enjoy their time with her very much. In fact, Bosley continues to go into the guest room to look for her! The house was clean and in perfect order when we returned. She even took care of my plants and pointed out an issue with one of them. And the photos! Jeni sent regular photos of the boys and were wonderful! She clearly has a gift with the camera and with getting Oliver and Bosley to sit still look enough to be captured like pros.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Chicken while we were away! We really appreciate how responsive you were, all the cute photo updates, and the wonderful job you did keeping the house in great shape. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands.”
“This is the second time Stephanie has been watching my dog and it’s been so great. She is communicative and kind. I will definitely continue to book her for future trips!”
“Courtney was amazing and made me feel at ease the entire time she was with my pets! I received so many pictures and updates of how they were doing. She left my home very clean after staying the weekend which I really appreciated! I will absolutely be booking with Courtney again!”
“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.”
“Chrissonna was wonderful! She would keep me updated on my dogs, sent pictures, and treated them like her own. We've already booked her for our next trip.”
“Jennifer is a true professional and pet caretaker, but someone of her caliber does not often find their way in pet care. Her talents far exceed the average pet sitter. A gem!”

“Andrea was amazing with my dog Parker. She was very loving and spent a lot of time with him. Parker can be picky when it comes to food and she was great, she made sure he ate all his meals at his time. He was also healing from a hotspot and she took great care of it, it was all heal by the time I came back home. I could tell Parker had a good time with her. I would recommend Andrea 100%. We will be booking again with her for sure.”
“Malia was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of my two elderly dogs, giving them all the patience, love, and attention they needed. It’s always nerve-wracking leaving senior pets, but I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. She kept me updated, followed their routines, and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and happy. On top of that, she took great care of my home—it was spotless when I returned, and I could tell she was very respectful of the space. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“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.”

Marisa is incredibly attentive and capable of dealing with high maintenance pets. She took great care of my two high anxiety dogs that require multiple times daily medication and monitoring. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone you can trust and rely on for good pet care
Rachel did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs while we were away. From the moment we left, we felt confident they were in good hands. She made sure they were well cared for, kept to their routines, and gave them the attention they needed. When we returned home, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after, which gave us great peace of mind. Rachel also treated our home with genuine respect. Everything was exactly as we left it, and it was obvious she took pride in caring for both our pets and our house. It’s always reassuring to come home to a clean, well-maintained home after a trip. Communication throughout our time away was reliable and appreciated. Knowing our dogs were doing well allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying about them. Rachel proved to be dependable, responsible, and trustworthy, and those qualities are invaluable when trusting someone with your pets and home. We are very grateful for the excellent care she provided and would not hesitate to book her again in the future. We highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a reliable, respectful, and caring pet sitter. She made the entire experience easy and stress-free, and we’re thankful for everything she did
I have a 13-month puppy who has limited experience around new people, let alone being left in the care of someone new without me present. I had a lot of anxiety about traveling but had a once in a lifetime family reunion out of state I needed to attend. This is my first time using Rover and I wasn't sure I would find someone willing to stay with my dog on the Fouth of July, but I was fortunate enough to find Brittney! We liked her after our meet & greet but I still had nerves, not knowing if my puppy would be able to regulate herself (licking, jumping, etc.) with Brittney while I was away. In the past she has struggled to be calm with new people and I worried she would scare a sitter away with hyper behavior. Brittney had the right calm energy and patience, and everything went just fine. In fact my pup even behaved better than I had expected, much more calmly than I thought she would be capable of with someone new/exciting. Despite my rambling care instructions which changed more than once prior to her visit, Brittney figured everything out and was able to manage my pup, even during my neighbors setting off explosives 25 feet in front of my house. She maintains a great attitude and can problem solve (ie. when my pup was not going into her crate voluntarily). And, she was respectful of my home and willing to provide multiples updates for me throughout my time away. When I returned home my pup and house were just as I left them. I would not hesitate to trust her with the care of my pet again in the future, she took great care of my girl!
ALLIE IS EXTRAORDINARY, AMAZING, SUPERB & SO MUCH MORE!! We simply can't sing her praises loud enough! She stayed in our home and took care of our dog and 2 cats, and we could not be more happy with her and with the loving care that she took of our fur babies and our home. We loved Allie the minute we met her because she is so professional and friendly and outgoing. All of our pets loved her immediately - even my shy, skittish kitties came out of hiding to greet her in our initial meeting. She followed every instruction perfectly and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Her communication was excellent before, during, and even after her stay. She sent regular updates and photos that made it clear our babies were happy and well cared for. She also reached out to ask questions to clarify anything that came up during her stay. Allie went above and beyond our expectations, making sure our home was clean and tidy and even watered our plants and garden! It was obvious from the moment we met Allie that she truly loves and cares about animals, and she treated our pets and our home like like they were her own. If you are looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter, look no further than Allie! We will be trusting her with our pets and our home every time from now on.
Constance was absolutely amazing while house sitting for me. She took exceptional care of my Doberman Eros and my saltwater fish tanks, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with frequent pictures and excellent communication throughout the entire stay, so I always knew everything was going well. It was clear from the updates that Eros was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention, and my saltwater tanks were cared for with the same level of dedication and attention to detail. I couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, trustworthy, or caring house sitter. Constance treated my home and pets as if they were her own, and I returned to everything in perfect condition. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable who truly goes above and beyond. I will definitely be booking her again!
Super thankful for Serafina! This was the second time she has watched Ollie and stayed in my home. I’ve appreciated the periodic updates, could see that Ollie was a happy dog while in Serafina’s care. The house was well maintained upon my arrival. I’m grateful for her flexibly as my flight was delayed an additional two hours, Serafina did an additional check on Ollie after her original watch time had been completed. Thank you again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Charlotte
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Charlotte on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,160 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.
