We will definitely ask her to watch Ruth again!!! It’s the best to find someone you have complete peace of mind with and Kimberly is that!”

About: Hi! I'm Kallie, and caring for animals has been one of the greatest joys of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home full of dogs, and for the past 15 years I've been caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. From tiny fish to giant English Mastiffs, I've loved every opportunity to care for someone's beloved companion. No pet is too big, too small, or too unique! If you ask my family, they'll tell you my sister's Golden Retriever is the joy of my life. I FaceTime him almost every day (sometimes multiple times a day!) so he can see his auntie. That's probably the best way to describe how much I love animals, they're truly family to me. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet behind, whether it's for a weekend or a longer trip. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind by caring for your furry family member with the same love, patience, attention, and affection I would give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless games of fetch, belly rubs on the couch, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available when you and your pet need me most. Whether you're looking for a quick walk to help your pup burn off some energy, a drop-in visit, or overnight care while you're away, I'm happy to help. No matter the length of the visit, you can have peace of mind knowing your pet will be cared for with patience, love, and lots of attention. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home until you're back together. I will make sure to care for your pet inside your home with the utmost respect and care and treat your space well. Whatever rules and boundaries you have with your pet will be the same rules and boundaries that I will set when I am in their care.
“Catherine was excellent! She took great care of my pup and was very communicative throughout her stay. She also left my home super clean and well cared for. Will definitely be booking her 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.”
“Taylor recently watched our Aussie and St. Bernard and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She kept us updated throughout the day - sharing photos, general updates, and asking questions when needed. Our dogs went on walks throughout the day and were totally spoiled with love! She kept our house cleaner than we left it. Will definitely ask Taylor to watch our pups again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and what a great experience. Edgar was a pleasure to work with and our dogs were happy and relaxed when we returned home. Highly recommend Edgar and we look forward to working with him again in the future.”
“Camryn is an awesome sitter! She took such good care of our girl, was super flexible and communicative, and we never had to worry at all while away on our trip! Our dog absolutely loved her, we got daily pictures and updates, and we had complete peace of mind knowing she was cared for so well!”
“Amelia was wonderful with our 4 month old puppy! He’s a lot to handle and requires a lot of potty breaks. She was professional, kind and loving to our pup. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up, our house was basically a zoo - we’ve had as many as 4 dogs and 4 cats at one time. My family currently has 2 dogs and 4 cats, so caring for multiple pets with different personalities and needs is something I’m very familiar with! Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity to pet sit for several families and friends, caring for dogs of all sizes as well as many cats. My experience includes both daily check-ins and full-time, overnight stays, so I’m comfortable adjusting to whatever your pet needs while you’re away. I’ve also cared for pets who require medication on a set schedule, and I understand how important it is to follow their routines and instructions carefully. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some extra playtime, a little medication, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I’ll treat your pets like family, keep you updated while you’re away, and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care! I’m currently working full time Monday-Thursdays (8am-4pm) but I work remotely on Mondays and Wednesdays. With my flexibility I can provide multiple check-ins throughout the day for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. On my in-office days I can provide morning and evening visits and of course I can always provide overnight and extended stays when needed. I’m happy to work with your pets individual routine and make sure they receive the care and attention they’re used to while you’re away! I am big on routine and have always made sure that pets have a secure schedule so they can feel at ease and build habit. I understand that every pet and home is different, so I’m respectful of your space and your pets routine. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, keep an eye out for anything unusual, and never hesitate to reach out if I have questions or concerns. I’m also happy to send photos so you can feel reassured and confident in your pets wellbeing while you’re away!
“I cannot recommend Marcella highly enough! When my original cat sitter fell through at the last minute, she stepped in without hesitation and saved the day. From start to finish, her communication was excellent - she kept me updated and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond by following all my specific requests, including keeping my cat's feeding bowls spotless and maintaining his litter box perfectly. But what really stood out was how genuinely she cared for my cat. It was clear she treated him with love and attention, even taking time to play with him and keep him entertained. Finding a trustworthy pet sitter who truly cares about your furry family member is rare. She exceeded all my expectations and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. If you're looking for someone reliable, communicative, and loving with pets, look no further!”
“Chrissonna is truly the best, my dogs love her and they are picky ladies! They are so well cared for and comfortable with her that when I got home after a full week away they acted like I had just come home from work. Happy, healthy, and wanting to talk me into snack distribution! I feel absolutely terrible that sometime while I was gone my air conditioning went out, but no one seems worse for wear.”
“Winnie was a wonderful dog sitter for our boy Lobito. She kept us well informed on how Lobito was doing during our time away. We found Winnie to be very conscientious, knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend Winnie for any pet sitting needs you may have.”

Camryn is an awesome sitter! She took such good care of our girl, was super flexible and communicative, and we never had to worry at all while away on our trip! Our dog absolutely loved her, we got daily pictures and updates, and we had complete peace of mind knowing she was cared for so well!
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!
Chea was amazing with our dogs! 🐶🐶❤️ She went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable, safe, and happy while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the trip with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was also very respectful of our home and even washed the sheets and cleaned up after herself even though we never asked her to. Our dogs were so spoiled that they barely cared we were home when we got back 😂 which says a lot! We 100% recommend Chea and will absolutely be hiring her again for our future trips! 🐾
Winnie was an 10/10 pet sitter for our dog and cat! Our fur babies both have medications and quirky personalities and she manages them with flying colors! I trust her expertise as she is very experienced with various animal needs and behaviors. She stayed in our house and was a perfect guest on top of caring for our pets as though they were her own. Great communication and I will absolutely be using her for all our pet care needs in the future! Highly recommend.
Alicia was amazing with both of our dogs. They can be a bit intimidating when you first meet them but she did very well introducing herself to them. They had a great time with her. She sent lots of pictures and videos of the dogs. I would highly recommend Alicia to anyone that needs a sitter.
Jillian did a great job house sitting with our two senior super-sensitive dogs. She made sure they got lots of outside time and all of their medicine. They were very content when we got home. Jillian sent us many pictures and took great care of our house as well.
Cameron was awesome! We have a senior dog who is pretty easy but does require a little extra love and care, and Cameron did an amazing job with her. Our cat usually takes a day or two to warm up to people, but she was hanging out with Cameron not long after she arrived. Cameron was easy to communicate with, sent updates, and didn’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. We really appreciated having her take such good care of our pets and our home!
Courtney was incredible! She has looked after Pedro on two occasions and our dog absolutely loves her. If you choose Courtney, she will keep you updated on how your small family member is doing with the cutest pictures and commentary. Courtney took great care of our house too! She takes the time to understand you and your pet and to help however she can. 💖
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!

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Charlotte. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
