About: I’ve had dogs before for many years. I have a long experience with caring after dogs! I have a picture on my profile of me walking one of the dogs I was caring after. I have had experience with training a young puppy. I gave a dog that I was caring after some medication that the owner had required. I would say that my patience is what sets me apart from others! I am very patient and kind, and gentle with dogs. They are my love and joy! I don’t have much into my schedule I’m pretty much free most of my day! It’s why I’m wanting to dog sit! I will be carful when it come to cars or other animals , I won’t let them get to close to other dogs for the safety of them or other animals!
“Carrie has been so polite, communicative, and so, so caring for my sweet doggo! I cannot recommend her enough and am so thankful to have a dog sitter who is compassionate and truly involved with her time spent with my baby!”
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!
“Merrily took care of my dog during the weekend, she was great at communication, sending a lot of updates and pics with my dog, who looked so happy in her company! 10/10 would recommend her services and I definitely book with her again in the future”
“Trinity took this job last second over the Holliday. She took great care of our dogs and would let us know if anything happened. Seeing the pics daily I could tell how much our dogs enjoyed having her there to watch them and spend time with them.”
“Katie was great with Drack! Her daily report cards were always very detailed and she took a lot of pictures. I never had to worry about making sure Drack would be taken care of while I was gone.”
About: With 7 years of experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, I understand their unique needs and provide loving, attentive care. From frequent potty breaks to scheduled medication and everything else in between, I’m here to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I did discover that I have an allergy towards dogs that shed heavily, so boarding is limited to low- & non-shedding dogs. I work full-time but I make sure to come home every day around lunchtime for midday feeding and potty breaks. I’m home right after work and usually spend weekends at home — unless I’m traveling with my furry friends 🤭 I have a gated yard and two fur babies to keep your family member engaged and safe. I do not crate dogs during the day, unless they are actively working on crate training but I do crate at night for safety purposes. Please be sure to bring your dog’s crate as most feel more comfortable in their own. While I do have crates available, I also prioritize your pet’s comfort. To ensure the health and safety of all dogs in my care, I require that all boarding dogs be up to date on vaccines and flea treatments, with vet records to corroborate this. This requirement helps keep everyone safe and ensures your dog returns home as healthy as they arrived.

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! ❤️
Another booking with Hailey and another round of incredible care that was provided to my dogs! Hailey provides the absolute best care and has amazing communication skills! I will continue to book with Hailey and recommend her to anyone who is looking for pet care!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Gastonia stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
To find sitters in Gastonia with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
