About: I have grown up around a variety of animals and have been a trusted caretaker for 3 years now! I have experience with reptiles, aquatic life, dogs, cats, small furry friends, and birds. I would love to help in any way I can! I currently have very open availability and can offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m able to adjust my schedule as needed and provide consistent, attentive care. I’m really big on making sure my pets are happy, comfortable, and taken care of. I keep them on a consistent feeding schedule, always make sure they have fresh water, and stay on top of cleaning their litter boxes regularly. They have lots of toys, cat trees, and little things to keep them entertained, and I love giving them attention and spending time with them. I’m very attentive to their routines and needs, and I treat them like my babies.
About: I have years of pet care experience! I have spent my life wanting to make dog parents' lives easier. Not only have I had animals all my life, I have 5 years' experience at dog boarding facilities that also include daycare and grooming. I love all dogs, big or small. I also have experience in puppies, older gems and those who may be considered "difficult". I am here to make your life easier when you have to leave your pet. We all know it isn't fun to leave them, but I am here to ease your mind! I will make sure your pet is at ease while their human is gone! I can't replace you, but I will make it more bearable! I am more than happy to stay overnight with your pet! I can make time for morning, midday (depending on location) and evening potty breaks! I will come to your house so that your pet feels secure and comfortable in their own home. Unless you request that I bring them into my house, I usually like to keep them in their normal routine and place!

About: I've spent close to my whole living with dogs. Constantly learning how to better train them and care for them. Besides my love for dogs, I also have extensive training in emergency training for dogs. I was also a Flight Medic for the military, which included being trained and tasked with caring for injured or sick military working dogs. While I'd never claim to be an expert in this field, you can trust that I know how to take care of your furry family members. I am currently working full time for this position until my civilian licensure in Healthcare is approved, which will take several months. I'll be available day and night, and have no problem working on the weekends if we schedule in advance. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs that live with my wife and I. Tucker is a chocolate lab, he's the oldest at 10. Milo and Kiwi are two high energy German Short-haired Pointers, at 4 and 2 years old. We split between fresh food and kibble, and are no strangers to giving medications to our dogs.

About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality. Growing up, I had dogs, cats, a pig, and a variety of small animals, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. For more than 20 years, I've provided pet and house sitting for friends and family, caring for everything from farm animals to energetic puppies, senior pets, and cats. I'm comfortable with pets who have special needs and have experience administering medications, including oral medications, allergy injections, and insulin shots. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care for your pets. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, drop-in visits, or overnight in-home care, I can accommodate a variety of schedules while making sure they receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care. When you're away, I'll treat your pets and your home with the same respect, patience, and love that I would my own. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I work from home full time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable drop in visits, midday walks, and in home pet sitting throughout the week. Because I work remotely, I'm able to be flexible with visit times and can give your pets the attention and companionship they deserve. While I don't offer boarding, I'm happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel most secure. Your pet's safety and well being are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to follow your care instructions closely. Whether it's administering medications (if needed), maintaining feeding schedules, reinforcing training, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence, I strive to make your pet feel safe and cared for. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I've cared for and trained dogs for over 10 years, both my own and others. I've walked and watched dogs for multiple people I have over a year of experience working with dogs in a daycare group setting. I'm currently working a flexible self made schedule. Pet care is something I can easily fit into my week and something I enjoy doing very much. I've worked with all sorts of animals and have experience in giving them everything they need both mentally and physically. I have no problem spending extra time making sure your pet is happy and fulfilled after a visit.
About: Family relies on me to care for their pats. Cats and dogs. I’ve been dog sitting for the past ten years and have a dog of my own. I am currently working full time, most of my days are work from home. Your pet will get the love and care they deserve. I have a huge yard and love walking around the neighborhood. I have a fenced yard and a fur baby of my own. I love to still take the dogs on walks. I live in a ranch style home which is great if you have an older dog like mine!
About: I grew up with cats and dogs both in my home and the homes of close family members, and currently own three cats. I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, and worked at a grooming salon for over 3 years. This means I’m very experienced in caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, including dogs with special needs. I’m also experienced in administering medications to both dogs and cats. My availability is typically early-mid mornings, and early afternoons. I love being around and walking/playing with animals, and miss being able to work with animals all day the way I used to. I would love to take your dog for a run or to a park for play, or stop in to give your furry companions some attention and playtime at home. I am outgoing and friendly, and strive to give animals the best level of care possible! I currently work mornings Wednesday through Saturday from 5am until 3pm. I’m home most of the time when I am not at work, which allows me to spend my free time with my own pets and any pets I may be caring for at the time. I really enjoy the company and companionship that pets can provide. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and have no issues working with pets who may need a little more patience. At my home, pets are typically not alone for more than a couple hours since there’s usually somebody home most of the day. The home is quiet and not busy with many people coming and going, so it’s a great calm environment for any pet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gastonia
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! ❤️

Before booking, confirm:

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;

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.

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 Meet & Greet .
