“Savannah provided reliable care for our cat. She was prompt, efficient and followed all of our instructions perfectly. Our cat was very responsive to her and we appreciated her caring, professional attitude.”
“Weiying is an excellent pet sitter and took care of my 5 yr old cat Russell when I was away for a week. I needed someone in a pinch and within a few minutes Weiying responded to my request with her availability. This was my first time using Rover and being away from my cat this long. She was very timely and professional and sent daily updates with photos. I strongly recommend Weiying if you are in need of a sitter!”
“First time using this service, and I was so happy.I highly recommend Brea.She took great care of Kodi. She send photos as well. Thank you for making his visit enjoyable! Definitely a 5 star service and recommend others to book.”
“A+ for Annmarie. She is a great communicator and put up with my embarrassingly shy cats. No complaints here, everything went as planned. My cats were well taken care of and entertained when they actually ventured out from under the bed. Thanks again!”
About: Hi I’m Meghan, I’m in the Charlotte area and I love dogs! I have my own pup, Winnie, and I’ve taken care of dogs for neighbors and friends since I was very young, along with raising my family dog, Charley, for 14 years. I have experience caring for both younger and older dogs and have helped with walking, feeding, and their overall wellbeing. I am happy to help ease someone’s stress or worries knowing that their pet is being taken care of even if that means just keeping them company or taking them on walks. With having my own dog, who’s still under a year old, I have trained her on my own and adapted to her needs as a shelter pup. She loved playing with other dogs and she’s helped me learn so much about caring for my very own puppy! I learned how to train my family dog as a puppy as well, but as he got older and developed a few health issues such as muscle aches and fatigue, I learned how to best assist and care for him and other elderly dogs. Sometimes dogs just need someone there to keep them company and I’m happy to help with whatever you and your pet needs! I’m happy to help walk and care for dogs on days I work from home or on the weekends. I know the area fairly well and can meet you and your pets where they are! I will make sure to keep them company depending on their comfort level. I may not be able to lift heavier pets if needed, but I have experience with caring for pets of all ages and sizes.
About: Promo code for first time bookers: https://www.rover.com/sit/adame50418 I've loved pets since I can remember. My family has been a part of a Golden Retriever rescue foundation for years so we've always had goldens running around. I've been pet sitting since I was a kid, including but not limited to dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, lizards, and plants. I've had virtually no problems with the pets that I've been with other than the occasional scratch during play time. I've always been the first to want to take care of an animal when any one of my friends or family gives me the opportunity. I hope that we can connect and I can meet you and your pets soon! My schedule is very flexible when it comes to petsitting. I work short days in the office so your pet will never be alone too long! I don't have too many plans outside of work and if I do, I'll make sure that the pet comes first! I will follow your instructions to a T. As long as your place is set up for success then there won't be a problem with your pet, your home, or anything else! You set the rules and I'll make sure your pet is happy with them :)
About: I have been a dog mom for over 15 years. I love dogs! Flexible day-time scheduling. I am a CPA professionally and both trustworthy & dependable. I am a bookkeeper that sets my own schedule. Dog walking/sitting fits into my daily schedule easily. I love going on walks (it helps me get my steps in!). I ensure your pet’s safety by checking gates & open doorways. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I monitor your pet’s behavior while I’m with them.
About: I have been taking care of family dogs and my neighbors dogs since I was 10. I also raised my puppy since she was 4 weeks old. I am currently not working so I have open availability preferably mornings and afternoons. I am willing to work around your schedule as well if needed. I have a big yard with a 6foot tall fence, so they have freedom in the backyard to play and run. I also am cautious with the animals when they are outside.
About: Though I’m new to rover I’ve done consistent dogsitting for family members, friends, neighbors, and friends of friends for the past two years. I absolutely adore dogs, and always get along with them no matter the breed or the age. I’m excited to get to know you and your dog! I work fully virtual so I can pay a visit to a dog any time! I’m available for boarding on the weekend and can do over night any day of the week. I’m very flexible! I am always incredibly watchful and careful with dogs I sit for, making sure to spend every single moment of my time doting on them.
About: I take pride in being a reliable and loving dog walker and sitter who truly puts pets first. I know how important it is to feel connected while you’re away, so I always send plenty of updates, photos, and check-ins. This way, you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and cared for every step of the way. I am extremely responsible and attentive, making sure to follow each pet’s routine and needs closely—whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just some extra snuggles. I genuinely love animals, and I believe they can feel that energy from me right away. When your pet is with me, they’re not just being looked after—they’re in a safe, loving environment where their well-being always comes first. I currently work part time at a retail store but other than that my schedule is open!! I can do early mornings, afternoon, and evening walking or check in visits! I have a fully screened in porch attached to my apartment and my apartment complex has 2 amazing dog parks along with walking paths and large sidewalks.
“Ziyi is absolutely amazing! She takes care of our two corgis during the week while we’re in the office, and they absolutely adore her. She spends so much time with them during each visit and genuinely cares for them as if they were her own. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thorough during our meet-and-greet, which gave us complete confidence that she was the perfect fit for our pups. She is reliable, caring, communicative, and someone we fully trust with our dogs and our home. We are so grateful for everything she does and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. Thank you for everything, Ziyi! ❤️🐾”
“Salina helped me with my three cats while I recovered from surgery. She was very flexible with my needs and has a very calming and assuring presence. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter and will definitely hire her again.”
“Emily (and her hubby) were great! They always arrived right on the requested time and provided great visit notes and pictures. She was also super communicative and understanding - especially while trying to figure out visit times around the holidays.”
About: Hello! I have been around dogs all my life and I am a huge dog lover. I have an active lifestyle and will enjoy walking your dog. I am home majority of the time and I’ll take the best care of your dog. Special needs, medication administration will be administered as needed. I don’t have a yard and will take your dog out as much as needed. I enjoy long walks if your dog enjoys those too.
“Thank you so much for hanging with our dude on Christmas! You're a lifesaver. Did everything we asked and more and we really appreciate it! Best wishes for the new year!😻”
“Dawn was wonderful, she made sure Romeo had a nice walk and lunch everyday. She was even kind enough to bring up my trash can as my husband was away. She was communicative and thoughtful. Would definitely recommend her and book again!”
“Amber was great with my dogs! Very communicative and it was my first time getting a dog walker so I was definitely nervous. But she was wonderful! Will definitely be getting her again.”

Tiffany was absolutely fantastic!!!!! I legit found her at the last minute and she saved my weekend. I just moved into an apartment in charlotte as well and haven’t had guests and through all the stress of getting in with codes and what not and where to even walk my dog ( which was vague “um outside” ) she championed through it and did a phenomenal job! Not only did she respond promptly and show up she went above and beyond and sent feedback with things that I wasn’t even aware of that could help me with my fur babies. And this has to be mentioned but she also knew i was struggling financially and suggested 30 min visits which also gave me room to breathe. All in all she was absolutely lovely and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service and care I received from her. Tiffany is a gem and you would be lucky to have her !!!! ☺️
We are so grateful to have had Zoe check on our kitty during a long vacation. Our cat is sweet but not nice with strangers and Zoe followed all our instructions to the letter, and after a couple visits our cat had warmed up to her and was very comfortable. We ended up adding a visit because our cat was enjoying her company so much. We are so lucky to have found a trusted sitter!
Brea was wonderful! I had a last minute trip come up and my regular sitter was unavailable. I was very anxious about having someone new take care of my two fur babies. However, Brea did an amazing job, kept them on schedule and made sure I felt comfortable with their care by staying in communication with me all along the way. I highly recommend Brea!!!
Jenni took care of our two dogs and cat over the Memorial Day weekend. They had never been left alone that long and Jenni quickly put us at ease with a visit beforehand. She clearly enjoyed visiting the pups and they clearly looked forward to her visits. We could not be happier.
I felt so good having Dominique in my home to check on Dorit! I can tell from the photos how much Dorit enjoyed Dominique as well (and she doesn’t enjoy just anybody) and loved that she got both stimulation and cuddle time. I hope we get to use her again in the future! 11/10!
