“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!”

“Amanda has been such an amazing friend to Cosmo. We moved to 4th ward last week and the change was stressful on the little guy. Amanda immediately established a rapport with him and they have great walks together. She is also very punctual and communicates well.”

About: Hi, my name is Jordan! I’m a 25 year old living in Charlotte, NC. I’ve grown up with all sorts of animals; dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc. I currently have 2 of my own little furballs (cats) named Chanel and Prada! My boyfriend owns a sweet pup named River that I help take care of as well. I would love to be trusted to take care of your babies like my own! I currently work from home so my 2 cats run around my apartment as they please. For dogs, there is a huge park right across the street that can be used for walks/playtime. My job is pretty flexible so I am able to stop/take time to go on walks or care for animals as needed. There is a park behind my apartment for walks/playtime. Cats will have access to litter and food/water whenever needed. There are 2 other cats in my home so the animal will need to be accustomed to other animals or at least able to play nice! My cats won’t pay another c cat/dog any mind. 😊

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. Our dogs have varied from golden retriever, pit bull, labs, and hound. I was responsible for them from when they were puppies until our last goodbyes. In addition to dogs we’ve owned, I’ve also dog sat for all types of dogs. I’m flexible and patient with pets of all ages and types. I can’t wait to meet your pet(s)! I’m currently working full-time on a hybrid schedule, in office Tuesday-Thursday. I work from home Monday & Friday, great for pet sitting on long weekends. I will make sure all pets are well attended for, including plenty of food/water, bathroom breaks and play time. I live in an apartment by myself, so there’s plenty of room for furry friends to join. There is a dog park at my apartment complex, great to get them out in play. Also happy to go on runs/walks throughout Charlotte.

About: I’ve raised and cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds, and I absolutely love being around them! I have a 3 year old mini Bernedoodle who is my best buddy & we love going on walks, playing in the yard, and lots of couch cuddles. We’d love to welcome your pup into our daily routine and make them feel right at home! I’m happy to accommodate each dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs, and I’m always available to answer any questions you may have. My goal is to make you feel completely comfortable and at ease while your pet is in my care. I’m available most days for dog walks, drop-in visits, and daycare. I’m not currently accepting boarding requests. I work from home most days of the week, so I am available during many hours of the day & am able to go on walks and play with your pet throughout the day. I ensure pets are properly secured in yards/ crates and am experienced walking dogs in a safe manner, especially hyper or timid dogs. In both my home and my clients homes, I make sure that safety, trust, and a pet friendly environment are top priorities. For dogs, this includes a fenced in backyard leash-trained walks, and supervised playtime. I’m more than happy to follow bathroom and feeding schedules!

About: I’m new to Rover, but not new to pet care. I’ve cared for many pets over the years and have additional reviews and testimonials from other platforms that I’m always happy to share so you can feel fully confident leaving your pet in my care. I love knowing pet owners can truly relax while they’re away, feeling confident their fur baby is safe, cared for, and genuinely loved. I provide daily updates and photos so you can stay connected and see exactly how they’re doing. I enjoy caring for pets of all kinds, from playful puppies and senior dogs to shy cats and curious little explorers. I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and meet them where they are. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, snuggles, feeding routines, litter care, and giving medication. I’m especially patient with shy or slow to warm up pets, and I make sure high energy pets get the activity and stimulation they need. I keep routines consistent and treat your home with the same care and respect, so you can fully relax knowing everything is in attentive, loving hands. I am pretty flexible both in my daily and weekly schedule and willing to work with you to accommodate your needs the best i can (: I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routines as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications so your pets feel secure and well cared for. I spend quality time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, or just giving them extra love and company. I also make sure your home feels cared for while you are away. That means keeping things tidy, bringing in mail or packages if needed, watering plants, and always leaving everything just as I found it. I like to send photo updates so you can see how your pets are doing and feel reassured while you are gone.

About: I am so excited to help out with your fur babies! I grew up on a farm and both of my parents are veterinarians so our pets were always the most important part of our day! I have experience taking care of small, medium, and large (and extra large) dog breeds. I currently have my own 4 year old golden retriever and a 6 year old kitty. They are family to me! I currently have plenty of availability on the days reflected in my calendar during mornings, day time, and evenings. I look forward to caring for your pets. I will mainly be available for drop-ins and dog walks. I have a dog and a cat at home so I will not be housing any pets in my home. I am very clean, respectful and honest!

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have experience with caring for pets of different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family over the years, including caring for dogs in my own home. I’ve also gone through extensive training for my own dog and feel confident with my skills in walking and caring for any dog, any size. I have experience in medication administration as well… And I almost forgot to mention — I’m a highly experienced cuddler who gives LOTS of love, belly rubs, and attention. 🤭❤️ I’m a full-time work-from-home mom, so I have PLENTY of flexibility to provide personalized care and attention for your pet throughout the day! If your pup wants to go outside 10 times a day, well… so be it! 😂 Our backyard is fully fenced, so there’s plenty of room for playtime, zoomies, and potty breaks. And if your pup would rather soak up some sunshine, relax, or have a little alone time, we’ve got plenty of that too. 🤭 I’m happy to follow your pup’s normal routine and give them the attention, activity, and downtime they need to feel comfortable and right at home while they’re with us. I have a 4-year-old neutered American Bully named Kash. Kash is extremely friendly and loves other dogs, although he can be a little enthusiastic when meeting new friends! Because of that, I introduce dogs slowly and carefully and always prioritize safe, supervised interactions. Your pup will NEVER be expected to interact with Kash if they aren’t comfortable. Their safety and comfort are always my priority. Kash is also crate trained and has no problem having some quiet time when needed. I also have gates that allow me to comfortably separate the upstairs and downstairs areas of our home. This gives me the flexibility to let both dogs enjoy some freedom while still giving each pup their own space. I also have a 9-month-old daughter, so I’m especially mindful of making sure that any dog in our home is comfortable around babies and young children. Supervision, safety, comfort, and a happy environment are extremely important to me. My goal is for every pup to feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while they’re in my care.❤️

About: I have been taking care of my dog for 6 years and have experience dogsitting for over 10years. My dog loves to have a friend over and we love to make their stay as amazing as we can. As a dog owner, I want to provide the relief that your dog is well taken care of of while you are away 😊 I currently work from home. Your dog would get plenty of walks throughout the day as well as playtime with my dog. I also have a small courtyard they can access for potty breaks and smell breaks. I have a very small fenced in courtyard for potty breaks and just hanging out outside. I take my dog on walks multiple times a day and we have an afternoon/evening playtime session. My dog Charlie, is a gentle giant and loves guests.

About: I’ve always loved animals and taking care of them is something I love. I took some vet classes in high school that helped me learn the basics! Such as their body behavior, basic handling, and how to administer medication. I also gained some experience with grooming and caring for senior dogs, as I understand older pets need extra patience and attention. I’ve trained my own dog to perform many tricks and sleep on his own, so if you have a puppy I’d be more than happy to show them some basic tricks and commands during our time together. While training takes time I’m always happy to help them learn more and build good habits. I’m currently available to do walks or pet visits in the evening where I can then on a walk or even go to the park and play. I’m a full time student and worker as well so for right now the only days I’m available are Friday and Sundays for boarding, pet sitting, and home visits and need at least a 2 day notice please! I live in an apartment where there is a little doggy park and it’s a very dog friendly environment. Inside my apartment they are able to be on the furniture and be with me at all times. I will be taking them out every 1-2 hours or if you need me to do it more often I would be more than happy to. While they are with me if you have any extra requests to have them be on the bed or keep them in their crate I will be happy to follow that.

About: I’ve kept friends and family members dogs for 10+ years. Experienced with and love all breeds, especially large ones. I love active dogs who need to be walked and happy to do long-term stays for people who travel. I keep my parents 100lb lab frequently, and I would love to take care of more people’s dogs! I work full-time in Uptown Charlotte, with 2 remote days weekly. I’m able to let dogs out at lunch that are close to my office. Happy to walk dogs in the morning and evening, depending on your schedule. Dogs have a special place in my heart, and I’m willing to do whatever you need to make your dog comfortable (i.e., give meds, long walks, go to the park, snuggle)

About: I have been pet owners for years & there’s nothing I love more than spending time with animals. I love to take walks to the dog park & have a good game of fetch. I also take pictures of pets that I taken care of before so let me know if that’s something you would like. I currently work from home so I spend all day with my pets. My job lets me be able to still take my dog on multiple walks a day, have play time, go to the park & more. The play area is fenced in, I can easily crate your dog if needed. In my home I can provide everything your pet needs like if it was their own home and vice versa.
