“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.”
“Absolutely fantastic! I had circumstances change and last minute needed a drop in visit. Rachel went above and beyond to not only be available, but to make sure my baby was fully taken care of and happy! She also communicated promptly and sent pictures along the way. Would 100% recommend and will keep her in mind for future.”
“Always communicative and even helped bring in big packages we received while we were away! She went above and beyond to make our pups feel loved and us at peace while away.”
“Alyssa was great with our cat squad! They were all instantly comfortable with her and she showed them all the love while we were away. We will definitely book with Alyssa again!”
“Alex is helping watch our Bernese Mt. Dog puppy and she is doing an amazing job! My wife and I are so happy we found her. She is a great communicator. Follows our instructions and is very timely. We highly recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be reusing her services!”
“Daniella is the best! We have used her multiple times and of course the kitties love her. Our automatic litter box was acting up while we were abroad and she was so flexible with us and made us feel comfortable while on vacation. I’m so grateful for her!”
“This was Tiffany's third time watching Keo, and I had total piece of mind being away. She is super consistent with her updates and arrival times. Keo is always tired when I get back from vacation because they have such a great time together! She is the best and I'm so happy I found the best dog sitter in Charlotte!”
About: I’ve had four dogs in my life and have also cared for dogs in my neighborhood growing up. I love walking and playing with animals, and I can match their energy—whether that means being active and playful or calm and relaxed. I’m focused on making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I currently work part-time at a restaurant, but outside of my shifts I have a flexible schedule and am usually available. I’m able to plan ahead and make time for pet care consistently throughout the week, especially during mornings, afternoons, and some evenings depending on my work schedule. I live right in the city, so I’m able to take dogs on regular walks and bring them to nearby parks for exercise and stimulation. I make sure pets are always supervised, safe, and comfortable. Whether at my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they feel secure and cared for.
“Megan was wonderful with our two boys. Prompt and on scheduled with drop in visits, which was comforting because my dog takes pills around the clock. Would highly recommend”
“Alicia is an amazing pet sitter. She took care of my three kittens including my senior cat that is sick and we couldn't be more grateful for all of her help! We have a few special requests for him that can be a lot to ask and she did them without any issues! We will most definitely keep booking with her. I 100% recommend her service”
“Christian is an amazing pet sitter. This was the first time I hired a pet sitter. I was worried as my cat Oreo is an anxious cat and if she would be ok but Christian made sure she was comfortable and well taken care of. She seemed super happy and in good spirits when I returned.He sent the cutest pictures and videos and I felt assured that she was good. I would definitely recommend Christian. He went above my expectations!”
“Brittney is spectacular. She did pop-ins with my dog on short notice. Friendly, timely, and professional communications, with much appreciated pictures of the pooch. 10/10 Will use again”
About: I grew up surrounded by dachshunds, so caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. While dachshunds hold a special place in my heart, I truly love all breeds and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with both energetic puppies and older dogs who may need extra care and comfort. What sets me apart is the way I focus on making every pet feel safe, loved, and at home, whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or simply cuddling😍 Pet care is just part of my everyday life since it’s such a priority for me. I’m usually free most weekdays and weekends, and of course I also make time for Tink. I take her to Skiptown a few times a week since she can be a stubborn little walker. I love going on the rail trail, and having a furry buddy to join me always makes it even better! I create a calm and relaxed environment with dog TV, provide plenty of love, treats, and give extra comfort to dogs missing their pawrent while they’re away.
“Jenn was excellent with our fur baby and we were instantly relaxed about her when we met her! Solomon had a great time and we would hire her again any day!”
“My three cats loved their visits from Karen and Xavier E! I loved how caring and responsive they were to send me timely updates and photos from each visit. I could enjoy my vacation knowing my cats were enjoying their time at home. I'll be happy to book my cats' next staycation with Karen and Xavier E!”
“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!”
“Pedro was the most perfect pet sitter for our cats! He is very caring, has extreme attention to detail and followed my instructions very carefully. One of my cats is overweight and I expressed my concern with her getting proper exercise, and Pedro made sure to send videos of her chasing the laser pointer, without me having to ask! I will definitely rebook with him in the future. Thank you so much for being a trusted sitter!”
Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
I could not have asked for a better person to watch my dogs. I have never had a person outside the family to look after them, nor have I given a person access to my home. I recommend Ruben 100% and will gladly call on him again. My dogs took to him on his first visit that assured me I made the best decision. Thank you so much Ruben, it meant so much to me that you made my dogs and I very comfortable.
We had a great experience using Rover, and Amanda was fantastic! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of our dog. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. We would absolutely book with Amanda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Alicia is an amazing pet sitter. She took care of my three kittens including my senior cat that is sick and we couldn't be more grateful for all of her help! We have a few special requests for him that can be a lot to ask and she did them without any issues! We will most definitely keep booking with her. I 100% recommend her service
Emily was incredible for our first visit with my senior pup! He kind of is a tricky guy with a lot of moving pieces health wise and she was amazingly adaptable and so sweet each step of the way. I feel like we kept changing plans based on his needs and her flexibly meant the world to us while I was out of state helping a sick family member. She kept me updated each step of the way and even took our pup on a walk with his stroller to get some mental stimulation when he really needed it. So so so grateful for her help and definitely recommend her!
Grace went above and beyond in caring for our (sometimes spicy) senior kitty, Hope. She came twice a day, was totally on top of everything, and kindly helped clean up when our cats stomach was getting upset (happens when we’re away). She also really understood how to work with our testy girl, to give her space, and let her come to you. We’re very grateful to have found such kind sitter nearby!
