About: I’m a full time business administration student and part-time server in the Dilworth area. I have two cats of my own and grew up with dogs of all sizes, so I’m comfortable with everything from tiny lap pups to big personality breeds. I’m genuinely an “every animal” person. Pets tend to warm up to me quickly, and I treat each one with the same attention and affection I give my own. My schedule is flexible, and I’m committed to working with your booking needs whenever possible. As a student balancing work and school, strong time management and responsibility are part of my daily life. I show up on time, communicate clearly, and make sure your pet’s routine is followed to the letter. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or overnight care, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable experience for your pet so you can travel or work with complete peace of mind. I take pride in offering dependable, thoughtful care, perfect for pet parents who want someone they can trust in their home and with their fur family. If you’re looking for someone attentive, respectful, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d love to be your go-to sitter. I have school Monday-Thursday with adjusting hours and same for work so I am typically very flexible if you book in advance, I can move things around to try to make things work to the best of my abilities. I do best with straightforward directions, leaves no room for improvisation and ensures I am following your instructions perfectly to take care of your animals. I am more than happy to adjust any care to your liking.
About: I have been pet watching since I was about 12. I had a dog growing up my whole life, I’m a lover of dogs more then humans to be honest and no matter big or small all dogs are so special. I am currently looking for a new job, while starting to work a part time job. I will have more time to hang out and be present and provide the care they need. I live in an apartment but I am on second floor close to nearest exit, takes about 30 seconds to go down the stairs out to a grass area. Live in the heart of south end so lots of walking areas.
About: I've taken care of dogs for my whole life! I have my own French Bulldog who is almost 6 and have cared for others as well including Boston Terriers, golden retrievers, doodles, Great Danes, etc. I am currently fully remote so have plenty of time throughout the workday to stop and let the pups out! I would love to build up my rover presence and do this more frequently. Whatever you need me to do, I can handle it. I have a pet park in my apt complex and am aware that pets should be kept in smaller spaces so they aren't overstimulated. Am very knowledgable about caring for pets in many ways.
“Breckyn was a lifesaver when I ended up in a pinch over a weekend. We were able to schedule a meet & greet super quickly, and she left thorough notes about each walk. She even pointed out an overgrown claw + sent pictures of my cats too. Really put me at ease! Thanks so much!”

“Kimberly goes above and beyond! She is always trustworthy and takes great care of my pup when needed. I would recommend her to anyone looking for help with their dogs!”

“Mary was excellent in letting my GSD Bane out for walks during the day while I was at work. She was very attentive to him and great with updates during her visits. I’d be so glad to use her again in the future!!”

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.
“Mia is fantastic! You can tell immediately that she cares deeply about the animals. She was communicative, always on time, documented her time with both our dog & cat so we could feel at ease. This was my first time hiring someone on rover & it was a 10/10 experience.”

About: I am able to provide both a safe and engaging environment. I have a secure, fenced-in yard for supervised play (if your dog stays at my home), enjoy long walks, and give attentive, personalized care tailored to each dog’s needs, routine, and personality. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for in a loving, attentive environment. I work full time and also work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day for walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks. I’m available on Mondays, Fridays, & weekends and can be available after 5pm on Thursdays. I’m reliable, communicative, and take pride in providing thoughtful, consistent care so every dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. In my home, dogs have access to a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, along with a calm, comfortable space to relax and follow their normal routines. When caring for pets in their home, I respect their space and stick closely to their established schedules for feeding, walks, and playtime. In all settings, I prioritize safety, clear communication, and making sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
“Rachel has been absolutely amazing with Hartley! It’s clear she gives her so much care and attention on every walk. We love the updates she sends—complete with adorable photos of our baby girl—and it gives us total peace of mind. She’s also super organized, on top of everything, and so easy to get along with. Couldn’t ask for a better dog walker!”

“Amber did an amazing job walking Gungi! She was reliable, friendly, and made sure Gungi got the exercise and attention he needed. I could tell he was happy and well-cared for after their walks. I’ll definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker!”

About: Growing up I had dogs & cats throughout my childhood. I have experience with cat & kittens, at one point we had to take care of momma cat & her 5 babies who were bottle fed. I love big and small dogs & I’ve had both. I had a golden doodle who in his old age needed to wear a brace for his leg. He had surgery and took care of him during that recovery period as well! I’m pretty open throughout the week. Tuesday-Thursday all day & Saturday! Monday, Friday & Sunday after about 3! I can make adjustments if needed though! Caring for pets differs by animal & age 100%! Making sure that they are comfortable & not overstimulated is very important. Exercising the animals that need it either at mine or the clients home.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old and have loved every second of it! I grew up with all kinds of pups - from labs and corgis to doodles and everything in between. Being around dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I'm passionate about making sure every dog feels happy, safe, and loved. I’d be thrilled to care for your pup like they’re my own! I recently graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Go Jackets!) and relocated to Charlotte; I have complete availability until late February when I start my new full-time position. This means I'm fully flexible for pet care right now, whether it's last-minute bookings, or multiple daily visits. I can dedicate my full attention to your pets and maintain consistent routines that work best for them. Once my job starts, I'll update my availability, but for now, I'm able to provide the kind of attentive, reliable care that comes with having a wide-open schedule! Your pup’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I always follow any care instructions you provide and make sure your dog feels comfortable and loved. I won't bring pups back to my home - all walks, playtime, and care will happen where your dog feels safest. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring, responsible hands!
“Haley’s my lifeline, very reliable and great with Dash! She’s the only way I’m able to juggle everything. Dash knows when she’s about to come pick him up for their daily walks, he’s always waiting by the front door patiently, its so adorable!!”
