“Jennifer is fantastic. Can’t think of any more I would expect from a rover sitter. Communication was excellent. I felt very comfortable with Jennifer in our home and the dogs were calm and happy upon our return!”
“Nancy was the best house and dog sitter ever! My two dogs love her and already miss her. I will definitely book Nancy again soon for my next trip. The house was spotless when I got back. The dogs were happy and only disappointed when Nancy had to leave.”
“Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.”
“We are absolutely thrilled with Kayla as our dog sitter! She consistently demonstrates remarkable punctuality and her communication skills are top-notch, always keeping us informed. What we particularly adore is how she engages with our dogs, talking to them and making them feel comfortable and loved. Kayla has proven to be incredibly dependable and trustworthy, giving us immense peace of mind whenever we're away. We especially appreciate her effort to send us picture updates, which really brightens our day and lets us see how happy and well-cared for our furry family members are. Beyond these fantastic qualities, Kayla also embodies what we consider a truly great dog sitter to be: she's attentive to details, noticing any changes in our dogs' behavior or routine, and has a genuine love for animals that shines through in her care. Her ability to handle unexpected situations calmly, combined with her responsible and caring nature, makes her an invaluable part of our dogs' lives. We highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a truly exceptional and dedicated dog sitter”
“Debra was absolutely fantastic. She was outstanding from our initial contact, which was prompt and quite pleasant, to the way she cared for our "Stella" and maintained our home. We received daily photos and updates and would highly recommend her without hesitation. Debra is caring, kind, accommodating, trust worthy and top on our list for home/pet sitting.”
“Bailey was amazing with our dog, Murphy! He stayed with him for 4 nights and sent daily pictures and updates. We arrived home and the house was cleaner than we left it! Highly recommend!”
“Our Ronde loved spending time with Hailey. She was patient with him and his insecurities. We recently adopted Ronde and we were worried about the transition of new people, he did great.”
“Best sitter possible. Our lucy was very well taken care of. Kara listened to all of our rules & exceeded our expectations of communication & friendliness. Extremely easy to work with & flexible. 10/10 will be re-scheduling.”
“Brittany was the only person outside of our family and circle of friends who our dog Lily responded positively to! Her meet and greets meant so much to us and Lily that by the time the date came to house sit for us, Lily greeted Brittany with her special doggy smile full of teeth and jumped onto her chest! She texted me some photos and explained how Lily was feeling. She followed instructions on feeding and playing and understood Lily’s demeanor. I felt Lily and our home were in safe and capable hands. Brittany was a professional.”
“Christine did a fantastic with our big yellow lab! He weigh 110lbs and is quite a big baby! Normally he doesn’t take to new people but he was fantastic with her! She sent pictures frequently and the house was as clean as we left it!! Great job and highly recommend!”
“Tom was the best and treated our 2 older kitty's like they were his own! I have pics of them eating, drinking, taking meds etc. I felt totally comfortable with this man taking care of my two prize furbabies.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a kid, but dogs were always my forte. I’ve also been volunteering at my local SPCA shelter for added experience and love working with all the dogs. I also have experience working at a kennel and caring for the dogs. I am currently working overnight shifts so I will have ample time to spend time with your dogs during the day! I am available everyday and am very flexible and can accommodate most, if not all, requests:) I currently live in a complex that has plenty of outdoor space and fields for your dog to get an abundance of walks, playtime, and exercise
“Katie was absolutely incredible and I truly cannot recommend her enough!! From the very start, I could tell Luigi felt comfortable with her which says EVERYTHING!! The moment she got out of her car to greet us, he immediately took to her and that is not something he does with everyone. She provided so many updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was her honesty. Instead of just saying everything was perfect (which other sitters have said while I knew he wasn’t perfectly fine), she shared that Luigi definitely missed us. I appreciated that more than anything because it showed how in tune she was with him. Even better, she didn’t just leave it at that. She actively worked to engage him and get him moving which is so important for a dog’s mental well being. She took him on walks, paid close attention to his needs, and truly treated him like her own. You can tell Katie genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. Luigi and I are both so grateful to have found her!!!”
“Catlyn was wonderful! My girls loved her and she did an amazing job caring for them. She administered medications, keeping in touch with me, sending pictures, and the house was immaculate upon my return. She is highly recommended!!! Thank you Catlyn!”
“Jennifer was amazing with our Cru. I always hate leaving him when we go out of town, but Jennifer made it to where we didn't have to worry at all. She was great with keeping us updated by pictures and videos plus we came home to a spotless house. I would definitely use her again and again to watch our fur baby. Thank you again, for everything, Jennifer!”
About: I have taken care of animals, big & small since I was a little girl. I have always been the first contact for friends and family that need someone to care for their animals while they’re away! I am available anytime - I am an early riser and late time caregiver. I understand schedules can be rough & I want to give peace of mind! My rescue dog is animal aggressive, so my baby cannot be around others. I would have to come to your home…Dog walking, playing in the yard, feeding, all the attention & snuggles are included!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Charlotte Harbor
Saige was excellent! She took very good care of our precious pug who suffers from separation anxiety. She stayed in our home for 10 days. Our home was as we left it. We are very happy with the level of care. We received photos daily which were reassuring to see our pug being in good hands. We highly recommend Saige.
Laura was great! Very diligent and concientious. She was on time. My dogs loved her and my home was left spotless. She even started the laundry and dishwasher. I would recommend Laura. She is very kind, compassionate and clearly loves and has experience with both dogs and cats.
I was so anxious about having someone I had only met once watch my dogs at my house for almost 2 weeks. I have an epileptic toy poodle who takes daily meds to prevent seizures and an elderly mostly blind and deaf chihuahua. So they are definitely high maintenance. Joseph was absolutely perfect for the job. He answers texts quickly and had no issues giving meds. I would absolutely use him again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Charlotte Harbor
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Charlotte Harbor on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 803 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Charlotte Harbor. 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 Harbor 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 Harbor 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 Harbor 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 Harbor. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
