About: I grew up with many pets and always have animals in my life, like the 2 cats I have and love now for 10 years Every day I take care of a my 10 year old queen cat and at 2 month old kitten that we just adopted. I walk a couple of dogs regularly and have some cats that i am a go to for when their parents are away I am neat and focused when taking a dog out or taking care of cats. I clean up after feeding and litter boxes and put everything where it belongs before departing
“I had such a great experience! One of my dogs is usually very shy around new people, but she was so gentle and patient with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog walker, and I plan on reaching out again if I need help in the future!”
“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!”
“Peggy was so great with Lola! I received a description of their time together and many pictures. Lola was well cared for and very happy being with Peggy. We will definitely be contacting her again.”
“Hi Anthony-I appreciated you being available in short notice. And I’m grateful for the time you gave on Friday. I am going to cancel the bookings for this week though because the extra dog fee was more than I am used to paying for a 30 minute walk. It has nothing to do with you - you were great.”
About: I’ve been taking care of both cats and dogs since I was 10! I’ve had both cats and dogs throughout their lifetime but unfortunately a pet of my own is not conducive to my current lifestyle, which is why I came to Rover to hang out with your amazing pets! I am extremely reliable for walking, feeding, exercising, or anything else your furry friend may need! I am new to the Charlotte area and hoping to get a dog of my own in the future. I currently have a lot of free time and would love to explore the city with a furry friend! I am willing to care for pets in their everyday home and fulfill housekeeping/other needs that may be necessary. I am also extremely experienced with houseplants and available to care for plants while pet sitting in-home.
“The dogs loved their walk with Kaitlyn. They were tuckered out when they got back and slept soundly while I worked from home. Perfect situation! Can’t wait for their next walk today!”
“Hope was incredible with our little one! We traveled over the holiday and were a little worried as this was the first time we would be away during the Christmas holiday. Hope was consistent in communication and sent the best pictures. We highly recommend booking with Hope!!”
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.
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.
“Rachel is absolutely amazing!!! she's sent numerous pictures and gave Emma tons of love. We are looking forward to working with her again. We highly recommended Rachel”
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 am a full time PA student. I am mostly available in the afternoons and on weekends. Everyday is a little different with varying availability. On typical week I am free Friday-Sunday all day, Monday-Thursday in the evenings. 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: Hi! I’m Auzrey, a pet-loving remote worker with a flexible schedule and an active lifestyle. I go on daily walks, in addition to 1–2 runs a week, so I would love having your precious pets join me for some exercise and fresh air. I live alone and have no pets of my own, so your pet isn’t competing for care or space. I’m patient, reliable, and happy to adjust to your pet’s routine, whether they’re high-energy and love to play or need extra care due to age or anxiety. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m confident with both puppies and older dogs, and I always prioritize clear communication and consistent care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine :) Working fully remote allows me to be able to take regular breaks for walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I already go on regular walks and runs, so I would love to have a four-legged companion join me. Whether it’s sticking to a routine or burning off energy, I’m happy to tailor the day to your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment with a small on-site dog park that's great for potty breaks and quick outdoor time throughout the day. Because I work from home full-time, I’m able to keep a close eye on your pet and quickly respond to their needs, whether that means a walk, water refill, or just some attention. In your home or mine, I can stick to your pet’s routines and keep their environment calm, clean, and secure. I never take on more than I can handle, and I will also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
About: Passionate pet care professional, carrying years of experience taking care of the needs of animals, especially dogs. I've had a Chinese Crested Powder Puff (aged 15), a Chipoo Chinese Crested mix (aged 17), and multiple Jack Russell/Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mixes. I have some experience looking after cats as well! I am able to take care of pretty much all their essential needs. I can also provide playtime for pets under my supervision. I ensure that they are in a safe space and away from any hazards. I'm good at providing updates, with pictures included, so you know that your pet is doing well while you are away! I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I'm not too busy during the week, so my availability to provide care for pets have been pretty good. I'm very attentive when it comes to pets. You can rest assured that your furry friend will have a safe environment to running around and play in. Multiple pets that engage in playtime with each other will be supervised while under my care to mitigate any aggression that may come up during this activity.
“Kelly is exactly what we hoped to find when looking for a dog sitter. She is responsible, good communicator, keeping us in loop with timing/coming and goings, sending pics and letting us know how things are going when we are away, good with our fur babies, and kept our home in good shape while we were gone. Kelly is awesome!”
First Ward dog parents share their Rover experiences
Eric and Anna are very reliable and communicative. A great thing about them is their flexibility with timing- they were able to accomodate all different times I preferred for them to walk my dog. Also- they leave the best Rover cards with the cutest pictures you'll ever see of your dog! I appreciate them going the extra mile with the professional photo-ops each walk!
This was my first time using Rover and Anvesha was amazing! She exceeded my expectations. She’s passionate about dogs and is willing to go above and beyond for the well being of my dog. She was great at communicating which made this experience less anxious for me. We got so lucky with her! Thank you, i genuinely appreciate you Anvesha!
Kaitlyn has been absolutely wonderful with Marcel. She is reliable, communicative, professional, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she works with. From the start, she made me feel completely comfortable and confident leaving Marcel in her care. She provided me with updates, photos, and detailed check-ins, which gives me so much peace of mind. Marcel was excited to see her and came back happy, well cared for, and exercised. Kaitlyn is also very attentive to routines, instructions, and little details, which really shows how dedicated she is. It’s not easy finding someone you fully trust with your pet, but Kaitlyn has exceeded expectations in every way. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and professional dog walker or sitter. She truly goes above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her!
Amanda is great and super communicative. She was also able to accommodate a last minute walk for Finley which gave me peace of mind while I was away from home. I have already booked my next visit with Amanda and will definitely be using her services in the future!
To say that Rachel will go the extra mile is an understatement! We left and forgot to double check our key box to make sure she could get in. She troubleshot the situation and made sure Freya & Zeke were cared for. She gave them lots of love and extra long walks. So thankful for her! Highly recommend Rachel!!
Tracy is awesome! We connected super quickly as we needed a sitter since my boyfriend recently started working a new job! Within a day, Tracy had offered to meet our puppy so we could all get acquainted, and showed up to walk her just a few days later. She also leaves amazing notes every walk so we know what our girl was up to (which is amazing) and sends us pics/videos! I would highly recommend Tracy!!! :)
