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.

Can’t wait to meet your babies! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule! I can work around your scheduling needs. I am an active person and welcome walks of any length or time. I am comfortable walking all types of dogs and have no problem administering medication. I will respect your home and treat your pets like family.
“Alyssa was great with our cat squad! They were all instantly comfortable with her and she showed them all the love while we were away. We will definitely book with Alyssa again!”
“Rachel sent us pictures of every visit, which made being away so much easier! She was flexible when we needed to make schedule adjustments, and has excellent communication! Definitely will have her watch our pups again!!”
“Mackenzie did a fantastic job taking care of my dog! Not only was she a great communicator, sending pictures and updates, but she went above and beyond in her care for my dog Nova. I was able to trust her completely and had no worries while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their pets and I personally plan to use her again!!”
“Julia is an ANGEL! She was able to work me in last minute for a drop-in visit with my sweet dog, Fritz, and I’m so grateful. Fritz doesn’t usually do well meeting new people for the first time, but Julia and her sweet pup have such a calm and caring presence that Fritz felt comfortable right away. Fritz looked so happy and content in the photos Julia had shared, and I could tell she had been well cared for. Knowing that Julia took such great care of my pup gave me so much peace of mind. Thank you, Julia, for going above and beyond – we will definitely be booking with you again!”
“Kathryn has been fantastic to work with! She sends lots of pictures and is very quick to respond. Great communicator and asks the right questions along the way. Finnegan has a wonderful time when Kathryn comes to play! ?❤️”
“Ellen was great!! Great communication and always on time for our pets! We felt at peace being away this past weekend with her stopping by:) Our furbabies loved her! We will definitely rebook again!”
“Due to my job she wasn’t able to meet my dogs prior and they were comfortable enough with her to go outside with her. (My older dog can be wary of new people sometimes)”
“Tracy was very flexible with a last minute change in our Memorial Day plans! She was very attentive to our dog and cat, and took very good care of them! Would re-book again!”
“Amber did an amazing job watching our golden doodle! She was very communicative and went above and beyond to take awesome care of our dog and make sure he felt as comfortable as possible.”
“Christopher provided great care to my cats while I was away for a while. He made sure to give them extra attention and love! I appreciate the updates on the rover cards, especially the adorable pictures he took. He always arrived on time to feed the cats. They seemed well taken care of when I arrived back home. One of my cats didn't want him to leave and kept wanting attention from him. Thank you for being there for the cats!”
“Peyton has been great with my dog! He a very nervous dog and needs a lot of patience. Peyton has also gone above and beyond in helping me while I’ve been out of town.”
“Megan was wonderful with our two boys. Prompt and on scheduled with drop in visits, which was comforting because my dog takes pills around the clock. Would highly recommend”
“She's amazing! My crazy goober kitten AND my normally shy nervous cat both just loved her - a miracle. She's responsive, stayed the whole visit length with the girls, and is generally just a warm & friendly person. Highly recommend!”

Grace was awesome! She gave us detailed updates and pictures angter each visit with our 2 meowers! One of our cats is ~picky~ and we could tell she really adjusted how she fed them and played with them to ensure both cats got love and attention while we were away. She even did the litter box and cleaned off their plates! Grace was very professional and nice, we will definitely ask her to watch our babies again! Highly recommend her!
Mackenzie was absolutely wonderful with Astro while we were away! She was incredibly attentive, kept us updated with regular communication, and gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. It was also such a bonus that her sweet dog, Harley, joined Astro on walks and kept him company—they became such great buddies! We could tell Astro was happy, well cared for, and loved throughout his stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Mackenzie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pup. 🐾❤️
Bryanna has been our best sitter yet! She was so kind, communicative, and helpful. We felt from the beginning like she was trustworthy and she did not disappoint at all. Our cat loves her and we can go on vacation knowing he’s in great hands. We highly recommend Bryanna 🫶🏼😊

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Charlotte stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
