About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a home full of pets, including dogs, cats, and even a bunny. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality. I currently work in the service industry at a resturuant in South End, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone to keep them company, i’m happy to provide attentive, reliable care while you’re away. I work in the service industry at a resturuant in South End, so my schedule is flexible and varies from week to week. This allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on the week. I will always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. i’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any other routines that help your pet feel comfortable. Every pet is unique, and i’ll provide patient, attentive care based on their individual needs. i’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I have a big goofy golden retriever and have been caring for pets my entire life. I love all animals and will send you all the updates and reassurances of your pets’ 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.
“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!!”
“Alyssa is great! She is very responsive and always on time for visits with my cat Tilly. She does a great job giving her her medications (which is not always easy) and is quick to reach out for any concerns. Would recommend her”
About: I grew up with a lab after begging many hours at the state fair for her. I’ve loved dogs all my life and taken care of them since my teens. I’m passionate about dogs of all ages and tailoring our activities to their routine! I currently have a flexible schedule while I prepare to start my career in November, which allows me plenty of time for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the week. I’m available during the day and can work with your pet’s routine to provide consistent care, attention, and exercise. I enjoy staying active and would love the opportunity to spend my free time caring for pets in my community! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll provide loving, attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s routine. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and will follow your instructions closely so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you’re away.
“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!!”
“Amber was great! She did a meet n greet and asked great questions and took notes. She was very good with thorough updates and great communication throughout. She was great with Kobi, and was attentive to his high energy personality”
“Kaylee did an incredible job watching after my cats at home while I was away - she even got my shy girl Lilly to open up for some pets which is unheard of for someone new! Kaylee is responsive and great with communication, I wouldn’t hesitate to book again with her in the future!”
“Rachel is great! She has been letting my little dog out during the day regularly while I’m away at work. She is always on time and communicates well and takes cute pics :) couldn’t recommend Rachel more!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Vikki was friendly and knowledgeable. She made me feel comfortable leaving our cat in her hands. She kept us informed and at ease while we were far from home. Can’t wait to use her again next trip!”
“Peyton did a great job dropping off to feed and entertain my 2 cats while I was gone. My place was kept clean and he spent the full 30 minutes with them at each visit.”
“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!”

Erica was amazing! Her communication/detailed messages, including lots of pictures, really helped put my mind at ease with leaving my kitty alone for a few days ☺️ my kitty girls loved her! so much so that it seems like she didn’t even miss me 🥲 Thanks again Erica 🫶🏽 and thank you for making what can be a bit of a stressful time, a lot more easy to navigate.
10/10, no notes, booking with Madison! She is a total lifesaver. Super accommodating with timing, incredibly professional, and fantastic with our pups. The photo updates and notes always put an instant smile on our faces. Highly recommend her to anyone needing reliable pet care!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Charlotte on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Charlotte. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 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.
