“Lauren is truly great! Our meet and greet was so warm and reassuring, and her communication has been impeccable from the start. She really took the time to understand that my dog has some anxiety, and I trust her professional judgment completely when it comes to handling that with care and confidence. Her updates are always solid and thoughtful, and I’m so excited for her to continue walking my dog. Highly recommend!”


“My doggo can be super shy with new people but Sarah was so sweet and patient and waited for him to calm down to take him on a walk! She took several photos as well which was appreciated!!”



“Dominique was great with my dogs. I was out of town for 4 days and she was sure to keep in communication if I had any questions or needed anything. I definitely plan on using her again when I travel again. I highly recommend her.”


“Just one week into having Max (and his fiancé) take care of my two dogs and I’m already so impressed. Max and Jen took the time to get to know my dogs and asked tons of questions prior to starting weekly walks. They are both incredibly communicative and timely, send pictures and updates for each walk, and have been extremely patient with my female pup, who can be shy around new people. I will definitely turn to Max and Jen for any future dog sitting needs!”


“Charlie is super nice, punctual, very accommodating and wonderful with Dash. I could tell Dash really liked Charlie’s company as well. Will definitely rebook with Charlie in the future!”


About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, and many other pets since I was 11 years old. Growing up, I would often care for my neighbors pets while they were away- they had 3 cats and 3 dogs. I also grew up in a household with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, etc. I love animals and have a lot of experience caring for them :) I currently work from home full time (except for Tuesdays and Wednesdays) and have a very flexible schedule, so I can definitely check in on your pets and walk them while you’re at the office, on vacation, etc. I live in an apartment complex and always ensure that I keep my apartment clean and pet friendly. For dogs, I love to take them on walks and to the dog park. There’s also plenty of trails, walking paths and parks in Charlotte I like to go to.

About: I am an online masters student with a flexible schedule and a great ability to befriend pets! I have looked after dogs and cats for my friends and family since middle school. I will bring a happy energy to your pet! My legal name is Mary but you can call me Mo :) I will prioritize the schedule and needs of your pet to ensure that they have consistency and the highest quality care during our time together. I have a gentle energy that I bring to interaction with my pets and will bring to yours. I love to play and interact on the terms of the pet.

“Madison treated my baby like one of her own and gave me amazing updates constantly. I will forsure continue to use Madison as my fur baby’s sitter whenever I need to go out of town again. Highly recommend!”


About: I have always had dogs in my life. I grew up on a farm and we had Goldens, Labs, and Great Pyrenees. I am no stranger to big dogs but I also love the little pups. In high school I volunteered at a Greyhound rescue. I would walk, feed and play with the pups as well as clean out their crates and their play yard. Two summers ago I had a babysitting and dog sitting job where I spent Monday-Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM with the child and the dog. I balanced the care of both the kid and the puppy, fed both and gave the dog walks. My most recent job was at Pet Wants Charlotte. To work there you're basically required to have a passion for animals. I went through extensive training and education in pet behavior and nutrition. I loved working there because we got to see pups everyday in the store and I felt very confident in my recommendations. I loved when a customer would come in with questions because I was able to exercise my knowledge and it was so rewarding for them to come back and tell me how much my recommendation helped them or how much their dog loved the food/product. Currently I am in school, so I can't have a dog but my roommates have two cats. I am currently a student at UNCC but I have a flexible schedule as most of my classes are online. I have no class Monday and Friday and am completely available on weekends. During the week I have classes Tuesday and Thursday from 1-2:30 and Wednesday from 6-7:30 and am available and flexible otherwise. My own cat sadly just passed but my roommates have two cats. Occasionally I scoop litter and feed the other two and I am always the one trusted with watching them when my roommates are traveling. When my cat was still with me I balanced his diet with wet food in the morning and fresh dry food at night, as well as keeping three stainless steel water fountains around my house. I scooped his litter once a day and fully emptied it and cleaned it every other week. I care very much about my animals and you can expect that same care and attention with yours. I love to go for runs and walks, especially if I'm doing that with a pup. I have no problem cleaning up mess or providing medicine as my roommates cat needs pill medication and eyedrops, which I have given before.

About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by offering personalized, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. My experience includes: • Puppy Training Support – Helping reinforce potty training, basic commands, and positive behaviors. • Enrichment & Exercise – Engaging pets in stimulating activities to keep them happy and healthy. • Reliable & Trustworthy – I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence. Your pet isn’t just another booking—they’re family! I’m currently unemployed would not mind my day being taken up by your pet! Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly schedule. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize their well-being with a structured yet flexible routine: • Daily Routine: • Morning walks, feeding, and fresh water refills. • Playtime and enrichment activities to keep pets active and engaged. • Midday check-ins, potty breaks, and social interaction. • Afternoon exercise, training reinforcement, or special care for senior pets. • Evening meals, cuddles, and winding down for bedtime. • Weekly Care: • Grooming sessions, including brushing, nail trims, and baths as needed. • Deep cleaning of pet spaces, bedding, and litter boxes. Each pet receives personalized care based on their unique needs, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and loved every day! I provide a safe, loving environment whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home. My approach is tailored to each pet’s needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and stress-free. • Maintaining your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. • Providing companionship to prevent stress and separation anxiety. • Administering medications if needed and monitoring health. • Keeping your home tidy, including cleaning up pet areas and litter boxes. • Offering updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family, ensuring they receive the best care possible!

About: I grew up with a dog and have always loved being around them. I currently work as a kennel lead for a doggie daycare and boarding facility. I work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments everyday. I have experience with feeding, exercise, playtime, and cleaning routines. I also have experience administering basic medications. I’m confident in reading dog behavior and making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Wether it’s a high energy pup, or a senior dog who just wants company, I tailor my care to fit their needs. While my work schedule can vary week to week, I’m used to managing my time and planning ahead. I take my commitments seriously, and will only accept booking I can give my full attention to. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their comfort and routine, while being respectful of the space. I follow all instructions closely to make things feel familiar for your pet. I always aim to create calm, safe environment, and build trust through gentle consistent care.

About: Dogs have always had a special place in my heart! My husband and I currently have 3 dogs, Izzy -is a 3 year old mini doodle. Gigi is a 10 year old husky mix, and Kory is a 10 year old corgi who is our newest foster dog. They are the center of our worlds. I have a soft spot for older dogs and making sure they get the care they deserve! I am happy to give them their meds and all other things required to make sure they are their happiest and healthiest! We are available to watch your four legged friends on the weekends:) we are home bodies and love spending time hanging at home with the pups:) -Large fenced in yard ( wood fence 6 feed tall) -Doggie door to go in an our during the day. - Can crate your dog if needed -Ranch style home with only 4 stairs going in/out easy for old dogs to move around -All three of my dogs are friendly and socialized with other dogs. They do to the dog park on regular basis and there have never been issues of aggression -All feedings are supervised -All pets are welcomed on the furniture

About: I've always been a pet lover and once I became a nanny I had the opportunity to not only care for the children but the pets as well. I then started pet/house sitting. I have experience in administering medicine. I walk, bath, love and play with the pets I care for. I am a single mother and my daughter is with me all the time. We would love to take care of your fur babies who are good around children. . I'm available for morning walks/feedings. I'm also available all weekend. I work part-time as a nanny in the early afternoon till 6 but I'm free to do check ins. At the moment I am unable to provide care in my home. This is temporary and I'll offer those services again mid June, thank you.

Hickory Grove dog parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot recommend Valentina enough! She is an absolute gem when it comes to caring for dogs. From the very first meet-and-greet, she put so much effort into getting acquainted with my Pomeranian, Lua, who can be a little nervous around new people. Her patience and gentle approach made all the difference, and it was clear from the start that she has a deep love and understanding of dogs. Throughout the entire process, she was incredibly attentive, ensuring Lua felt comfortable and safe. She took her time, never rushed, and truly went above and beyond to build trust. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated and passionate, and I could immediately tell she’s both knowledgeable and experienced. Lua came back happy and relaxed after her walk, which speaks volumes about the care and attention she received. I’m so excited to continue using her services, and if I could recommend her a million times, I absolutely would! If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, look no further.
