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
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.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, including all throughout college, and have experience with everything from basic care to delivering medications to playtime to get out some energy! I trained two puppies myself and helped care for dogs through all life stages, including for my friends and family as well as my own. I have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to break free for midday walk-breaks, medication schedules, and feeding times, and have the ability to stay overnight to ensure no lonely pets! While I can’t currently have pets in my own home, I do have a dog park, know the greenways and walking paths of the area, and can also take care of pets in the comfort of their own home! Whatever your pets routine and comfort level is, I can adhere to!
“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.”

“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!”

“Alexander helped me out when I found myself in a pinch at the last minute. He walked my dog twice a day for multiple days. He was punctual and communicative via the app. I will definitely reach out to him in the future.”

“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!”

“She took wonderful care of Loki, handled his excitement with patience, and even cleaned up after him. The photos she took are gorgeous and really capture his personality. highly recommend!”

About: I grew up in a pet loving household with cats, dogs and the occasional hamster or two. My husband and I now have a sassy 13 year old calico named Mittens and our newest addition is a rescue puppy called Leia. We also recently had to say goodbye to our senior dog Arlie. I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats throughout their life stages and changing needs. I work for myself so my schedule is very flexible. Afternoons specifically I am usually wide open and love getting a good walk in with a pup! My weekends tend to be very flexible as well. I treat your pets as I do my own with lots of care, attention and love. After a life spent around pets I'm very good at reading their emotions and will do my best to have a fun and safe time together.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for five years now and can work with puppies, middle-aged dogs, and older dogs. My girlfriend and I have recently adopted a mixed breed dog in the shelter and pat him for over a year now. I’ve accepted a job at a investment firm and do not start until July 6 so I’m currently looking for extra work and don’t have any obligations until then I normally do 30 to 45 minute walks this includes playtime sessions and I can visit 2 to 3 times a day depending on your pet needs!
“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 am an experienced and reliable care taker for both dogs and cats. I grew up with boxers, labs and cats, but i feel comfortable with all breeds. From small-large, low energy-high energy I can accommodate any specials needs your pet may have. My days and weeks are very flexible. I work from home with the company of my 9yr old cat, so I can be available for any last minute requests. I work from home and make my own schedule Monday through Sunday. I am available for early mornings and late nights (and everything in between) as well as anything last minute. Fresh water, food, cleaning designated pet spaces (aka litter boxes and food stations). Providing regular outdoor potty breaks and regular active play time to promote socialization.
“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!”

“This was our first experience we had working with a dog walker . Rachel absolutely loves dogs. She happily met with us a couple of times for a meet and greet. Once at her house and once at ours. We loved that she sent pictures, showed us the walking route, and gave us a doggie report after each walk. The days she was scheduled to walk were hot and her flexibility to come earlier than planned was highly appreciated. We will certainly use Rachel again.”

“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!!”

“Kelly is the best! She’s on time and reliable. Our dog loves his walks with Kelly. She goes above and beyond. Great with our elderly kitty as well. We will be booking Kelly again!!”

“Tre has become like family. He is always available to take care of Dax when I need and treats him as if he was his own. He’s very personable, responsible, reliable, accommodating to my crazy schedule and he will definitely continue to be my go-to.”

“Kenzie is awesome! She is super fast to respond to messages and she is very punctual. You can tell she loves animals and I trust her completely to take care of our dog, Shiloh!”

Eric has been absolutely wonderful with Seal! I reached out to him last minute, and he was incredibly responsive and quickly scheduled a meet-and-greet to learn about Seal’s needs and routine. It was clear right away how thoughtful and attentive he is. Seal really enjoys her walks with him, and I feel so comfortable knowing she’s in caring hands. Eric is reliable, communicative, and does a fantastic job — I’ll definitely be booking him again in the future!

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!
