About: I’ve had a dog since I was 9-10. I always take care of my family dogs when they go on vacation. I’m the best dog caregiver ever. I love all types of dogs, no task to hard. I have two sweet dogs I’m on a routine always, I currently do nails but that’s as a side job since I’m still in school online and It’s whatever hours i can log in I do have a fenced yard and also there’s a dog park at my house that me and my two fur baby’s love going outside to play and they will keep your fur baby company for sure they are the sweetest.
About: I have worked with dogs since I was about 10 years old! My neighbor (in my previous neighborhood) taught me how to work with puppies, and I got to help train and keep her Schnauzer puppy named Greta! When my neighbor became terminally ill, we watched Greta for several months at my house before my neighbor passed away. My neighbor's husband let me still take care of Greta whenever he would go out of town or just to let us keep her in the house! A few years later, my family and I adopted our senior dog, Mikey! He was a 12-year-old Shetland Sheepdog with a lot of sass and energy! I loved Mikey to the utmost until he passed away at 16 years old. I have since moved to a new neighborhood and taken care of my neighbors' dogs (Coco (Miniature Schnauzer), Floofy (cat), Nala (a cat), Smokey (German Shepherd, Cleo (German Shepherd), and Aggie (Terrier)). I have also taken care of my dance teacher's dog, Gizmoe and my friend's cat (Tobi) while in college. I love dogs and cats, they are such sweet beings, and I would love to be able to take care of your fur baby! I currently have a princess job, but it is extremely flexible with when and where I work! I am able to schedule when I am unavailable for that job to be able to take care of a pet if needed! I go to church on Sunday mornings, so I try to keep Sundays to myself, but if needed I can do pet care on a Sunday! I am willing to negotiate and figure out availability for your animal's customized care! I follow instructions to a T! If there are specific things that your animal needs, I will make that my first priority when they are in my care! I am unable to bring animals into my home solely because of my mom requesting that I don't. I typically don't put the animals in their crate unless I have specific instructions to do so, I like to play with the animal and socialize with it, unless the owner tells me the animal doesn't require that. I am at your service, so if there is anything you need, please let me know! (:

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years and currently have four dogs of my own, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I also have experience caring for a senior dog who has undergone back surgery, which has taught me the importance of patience, careful handling, medication routines, mobility considerations, and paying close attention to changes in behavior. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels and will always treat your pets with the same care, attention, and love I give my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care for your pets. I’m available for boarding and I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s routine, including walks, playtime, feeding, and any special care they may need. I have a fenced yard and four dogs of my own who are friendly and accustomed to being around other dogs. I prioritize safety, supervision, and making sure every pet feels comfortable in my home. I’m also comfortable using crates when needed and will follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions you provide.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. I used to have a sweet girl named Susie who filled my heart with love and taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and compassion. After she passed away three years ago, I’ve continued caring for pets belonging to neighbors, friends, and family whenever they go out of town. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or giving extra cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and safe while their owners are away. From energetic puppies to calm senior dogs, I’m experienced in adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I do have a puppy named cocoa as of December 2025. She is the light of our lives!! We love her so much. I work from home three days a week and go into the office twice, so I have a very flexible schedule! On my work-from-home days, I’m available all day to give your pup plenty of love, walks, and attention. Even on my office days, I can still accommodate morning, evening, and overnight visits as needed. Your pet will always be in a safe, supervised environment where they can feel right at home. I’m attentive, caring, and but most importantly will love your fur babies like they’re my own. I can also easily crate your dog if needed or follow any specific routines you prefer.

I vow to care for your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would exercise in my personal home. I appreciate the opportunity to make some extra money by caring for your pets and or your home while you travel for work or vacation, and I will respect this role as I would my corporate retail job that I held for the last 10 years.🐾💕
“I can't say enough good things about Bree! Leaving my cat is always stressful, especially since she needs medication twice a day. But Bree was absolutely amazing. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease. While I was away, Bree sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Piper's well-being. More importantly, she administered Piper's medication perfectly, without any issues. I highly recommend bree to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced cat sitter. She went above and beyond, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”

“Brittany is an absolute amazing pet sitter. She took great care of my two babies (kitties). Her communication is top notch. It was wonderful to hear about, and see them daily. They love her so much. She took care of them as if they were her own cats. My house was immaculate when I got home and my kitties were so happy. It was as if we were not gone for a week! I just can't say enough good things about Brittany!!! She will be our sitter from now on!! We love you!”

“Lily was very nice to both myself and Biscy. I wanted to set up a time for Biscy to meet her so he would be comfortable with walks. She was 100% willing to meet him and played with him as well as got to know him. She also made sure to let me know about her qualifications and everything she would do for Biscy on the walk. Very friendly and all around great person!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gastonia
We are so happy that we found Natalia on Rover. I was starting a new job and my husband was scheduled to be out of town. We’re in a new community and didn’t know anyone to help out that could provide potty breaks for our two dogs while I was at work. Natalia did an excellent job. She was on time. The dogs were happy and well taken care of we cannot recommend her enough would give her 10 stars if we could.

Madison is a Godsend. Our senior dog had just lost his eyesight and we moved to NC. I was traveling a lot and we needed help. She has been wonderful with our dog and she is kind and caring and lets us know how he is doing. We couldn’t do it without her. And our furry boy loves her. She takes such good care of him and knows just what to do for him. Thank you, Madison! ❤️

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Gastonia choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
