“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!”
“Alyssa has been great with my dog Norman! She is super responsive whenever I reach out and leaves great notes after each session. She also includes great pictures!”
“Alyssa did a fantastic job caring for my cats and home. She was a great communicator and sent pics every visit of happy cuddling kitties that I could tell she really shared some love with. She was detailed in her care of the home and went above and beyond with making sure things were held together while I was gone. I’m so thankful for her and would highly recommend to any friend!”
“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!”
“Jennifer yet again won over our impossible chihuahuas. I've never seen our (foul) little girl accept a stranger so quickly. Big thanks to Jennifer for being great with the dogs, good communicator, and reliable sitter.”
“Melanie was so sweet and took such great care of my kitties! Every day I could tell (through picture updates) that my cats warmed up to her pretty quickly. She even brought in my mail! Would definitely recommend Melanie to watch your fur babies! ❤️❤️”
“Brittney was an amazing dog sitter. She was available last minute, and flexible with accommodating our needs. She was so great with our boy and kept him fed, hydrated and loved! Would definitely use her again!”
About: I have been taking care and looking after animals since I was 10. My family had several dogs, cats, and even reptiles at all points in additional to several friends here in Charlotte. 📸Instagram: buckrover I work in a remote setting for a tech company and make my own schedule. I’m very flexible in my hours and can also work from anywhere. I care with both ease and detail in how the said animal is to be taken care of according to their owners specifications and request.
“Lucia was such a big help for the weekend! She has excellent communication and provided pictures the whole time. Shiloh loved getting to spend time with her during the visits. Super appreciative for your help and time!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, starting at age four, and have always had a genuine love for caring for animals. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare and spa, giving me experience caring for multiple dogs and handling a variety of needs. I’ve raised several puppies and have a particular passion for large breeds. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed and understand the importance of following each pet’s routine carefully. I’m attentive, patient, and take the time to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work as a server, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to take a break in the middle of the day when needed. Even on days when I work a full shift, I’m always able to step away to check on your pet, take them for a walk, feed them, and give them some attention. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m knowledgeable about dog body language and behavior, and my experience at a dog daycare and spa has taught me how to recognize different temperaments and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, administering medications, and following specific care instructions. I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Kimberly was able to tend to my dog’s needs last minute. So thankful for her! She communicated clearly, promptly, and listened to the details I provided. I appreciated the photo updates she provided and would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. Our dogs have varied from golden retriever, pit bull, labs, and hound. I was responsible for them from when they were puppies until our last goodbyes. In addition to dogs we’ve owned, I’ve also dog sat for all types of dogs. I’m flexible and patient with pets of all ages and types. I can’t wait to meet your pet(s)! I’m currently working full-time on a hybrid schedule, in office Tuesday-Thursday. I work from home Monday & Friday, great for pet sitting on long weekends. I will make sure all pets are well attended for, including plenty of food/water, bathroom breaks and play time. I live in an apartment by myself, so there’s plenty of room for furry friends to join. There is a dog park at my apartment complex, great to get them out in play. Also happy to go on runs/walks throughout Charlotte.
About: Hi there! I’m someone who has shared my life and heart with animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by animals from the age of 10, caring for them isn’t just a job or a hobby for me—it’s second nature. Over the last 34 years, I’ve had the privilege of loving and caring for dogs, cats, horses, and hand-rearing a baby pig. Animals are unique individuals with their own personalities, quirks, and needs. I truly connect with them on a deep level, bringing a blend of genuine empathy and patient, confident leadership to every pet I care for. I have extensive experience with dogs who need an extra layer of understanding, including rescue dogs with anxious, abandoned, or abused backgrounds. I am also very comfortable managing health conditions—such as epilepsy and lupus—and carefully administering daily medications on schedule to ensure your pet stays safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether your pet needs gentle reassurance, strict medical routines, or just a quiet companion who truly understands them, I will treat them with the exact same love, respect, and attentive care I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Animals are a central part of my day. I reserve daytime blocks specifically for dog walks, providing safe, focused exercise tailored to your dog's pace and personality. For pet sitting, whether drop-ins or overnight care, I integrate your pet’s feeding, medication, and relaxation routines right into my daily flow so they receive consistent, attentive care without interruption. Every pet is an individual, and being in their own home lets them feel comfortable and safe. I tailor every visit or stay around what makes your pet thrive—whether that’s an energetic neighborhood walk, focused playtime, or just quiet company on the couch. I am calm, firm, and observant, making sure safety and comfort come first. From precise daily medication doses to fresh food and tidy spaces, I treat your home and your pets with absolute respect and care.
“Once again, Joseph was fantastic and kept us informed all along the way during our trip. We’re always much more at ease being away when we know Joseph is available to help.”

Jacqueline took great care of our cat while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and was always right on time with the scheduled visits. She was also quite patient with our cat who made a couple of messes and she handled the situation without any complaints. Would definitely love to book with her again!
As usual, you completely put my mind at ease, taking care of my kitties! I can tell they loved playing and hanging out with you! I adore the photos! I had no doubt you'd be great with them, just like you were with Mufasa. Thank you for always providing such an incredible care. Tinkus and Millie looked like they had the best time with you!
This was our first time using Karen & Xavier and they did an amazing job with our two cats. We were extremely nervous about leaving them for the first time since we got them earlier this year but they did great sending us lots of pics and updates about them. I had peace of mind and didn’t worry at all while on vacation. Thank y'all again for taking care of our babies. We will definitely use them again for future care.
Cristal took immaculate care of my girl, Stitch! Stitch can be quite shy and Cristal went at her pace while also taking care of all of her needs. Cristal was also incredibly helpful and gave us daily photos and insights on how Stitch was doing. We will be booking her for all future sitting needs!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Charlotte is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $31 per visit. 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 5,508 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Charlotte. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
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
- 96% 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.
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.
