“DeAnna provided excellent care to our dog, Guinea pig, and chickens! From the start she was a great communicator and we felt at ease being gone from our critters. Our dog got lots of walks and play time. We highly recommend DeAnna!”
“Marissa did a great job house/cat sitting while we were away for a few days. She was punctual, communicated with us how things were going, and most importantly, took great care of our cat!!”
“I was incredibly nervous as this was the first time I have ever used a pet sitter, but my anxiety disappeared the moment I met David. He was fantastic from start to finish. He came over a few days before the appointment to meet Gracie and for us all to get acquainted, which put both me and my pup at ease. When the actual pet sitting day arrived, he was prompt, professional, and incredibly considerate. He sent multiple photo updates throughout his visit, which absolutely made my day and let me know Gracie was in great hands. It’s safe to say Gracie has found a new BFF! This dog mom is thrilled to have found such a reliable, caring person to stay with her baby when I need to be away from the house for an extended period of time. I highly recommend his services and will definitely be booking him again!”
About: I have three pups of my own, (Roosevelt, 6 year old border collie, Sadie B, 5 year old dalmatian mix, and Chewbacca, 1 year old Carolina dog.) They are all rescues. I adore them, they are my babies. I would have many more if I had a farm and could talk my husband into it. I visit dog shelters regularly and become familiar with all the pups. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pups when you go out of town. Please contact me with your pet sitting needs. Thanks "Every once in awhile a dog enters your life and changes it." "A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself." "Be the person your dog thinks you are"

Thank you Jenn for taking care of our boys and home!”
About: I've house/dog sat for years, mostly for family friends but for the past 2 years I've opened that to outside people, and it's something I enjoy thoroughly! I have always had pets so I'm very comfortable with everything with fur (even scales if you're that type of person lol) I hope to continue this while I'm here in Clarksville. I am a full time student, but I have plenty of breaks and evenings to care for your animals! If hired, my schedule shouldn’t affect my availability to sit. With house sitting, I try to keep the same routine as you would. I know it can be hard to leave your fur babies behind, so I want you to have no doubt they are being left in loving hands! I make sure to send updates and pictures, to keep your mind at ease
About: I have taken care of a lot of animals. I’ve had exotic animals, cats and dogs. I’ve taken care of senior dogs while also taking care of four week old puppies I will always make sure your animals are treated as if they were my own and make sure they get all the love and attention that is needed. I’m currently only working afternoons so I am available in the morning but I can normally drop in twice a day if needed. For housesitting, I will make sure your house is clean and tidy when I leave and make sure your animal is well taken care of I will make sure your dog stays on their schedule and has adequate time outside. I will love on your fur babies and keep them safe while you are out of town.
“Casey was AMAZING! I was so nervous leaving my 9 month old puppy with her for an entire weekend but she was so reassuring and sent updates and pictures along the way. My pup even looked around the house for her when we got back because they had such a great time together! Will definitely book her again!!”
“Alexis always takes amazing care of my pup, he loves playing with her and her dog Riley, they are the best of friends! She is courteous and respectful of my house and I always can travel worry free knowing my pup is in great hands until I come home. Highly recommend!”
“Alexis was fantastic. She stayed with our dogs for a few days. We got great updates. But most importantly, when a series of bad storms swept through our town, she was there to comfort the nervous puppies.”
“Ariana was AMAZING! Our sitter canceled on us with less than a months notice. We were very nervous but she was super kind and communicative! Our dogs lived her and we will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life but I’ve worked with dogs professionally for about a year now. I work at dog training and boarding facility in a few different roles. I’ve been a trainer, kennel technician, bather, as well as in the office scheduling boarding stays for our pups! I’d love to care for more dogs after work! I’m good at it and I enjoy it so much! I currently work 8am to 4pm. But I have plenty of time to spend with your pup after work! We can go for walks, go to the park or have a bath and get cleaned up! I can come to you home and care for your dog there or I can pick them up, take them out for some fun to get some energy out, and bring them back home safe and sound. I can crate them in my SUV for easy and safe transport.
About: I grew up with a rotating cast of pets in my house, from hermit crabs to snakes to hamsters to cats and dogs. I currently have 3 cats and a big yard with tons of space for playing! Can’t wait to care for your babies, whether they’re furry, crawly, or scaly 🐛 I’m a student and I work from home so I have plenty of time and flexibility for pet sitting! I love to go for walks and I’d love to take your fur baby along! My home is a large, spacious bungalow with a huge fenced yard and tons of space for fetch, dragonfly chasing, sunbathing, or bug hunting (whatever your baby is into). My own cats get at least an hour of outside time every morning and your fur baby is welcome to join us!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,819 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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
