About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life! From being raised with dogs and parakeets, to later expanding my personal knowledge to cats, rabbits, rats, and more, I understand that each pet is as unique as their owner and deserves to have their needs met. Patience and compassion are my keystones to pet care. My experience includes basic grooming, teeth brushing, utilizing a pill-popper tool/giving oral medication, spicy cat maintenance (trust me, I have my own), grumpy dogs, walking, play motivation, anxious pets, and verbal affirmations. Growing up, I trained two of my dogs from puppyhood, as well as converting a feral adult cat to basic training behaviors such as "stay” and even “paw!” I am an extremely quick study and am happy to cater to your pets' specific needs! I currently work 40 hours a week from about 8am-4:30pm, but have plenty of afternoon flexibility and full weekend availability! I am available on Saturdays and Sundays during the day for house/pet sitting, as well as Fridays after 5pm. This care is as tailored as you would like it to be! Based on your preferences and your animal's personality, I am happy to adapt to your family's needs. I can crate your dog, groom your cat, spend time with them in close or far proximity, add meal toppers to their dinners, you name it! Each pet is unique and I want you to feel as comfortable as possible while entrusting them with me.
“Annie is a super dog sitter! She handled my 2 dogs with TLC and met both their daily needs beautifully. She’s extremely pleasant, responsive and easy to communicate with! I highly recommend Annie☺️!!!!”
“Sarah did a great job taking care of my two kitties; I always feel like they are in good hands when I leave them in her care. One of them threw up after her breakfast and she stayed for some extra time to make sure she was doing okay. She also stops by for an extra quick daily visit to make sure they still get two meals a day. Will absolutely book with her again!”
“So far so very good! This is my first experience with a puppy and Paisley has provided valuable advice and has helped me so much. Paisley is extremely knowledgeable, caring and kind Leaving Charlotte for the day is difficult but knowing that Paisley will be dropping in puts my mind at ease. 100% recommend her!”
“Kayla was so good with my cats! I could tell they really liked her... She had to feed them 3 times a day and there is a little more to it than just putting down 2 plates of food. Kayla sent me pictures of them at every feeding...this made me feel so good! I will definitely use Kayla again!”
“Kira was a star sitter! All 3 visits were accomplished on time and above and beyond our standards! Her picture updates kept our mind at ease that our babies were in good hands! Handled the puppies mess with quickness and professionalism, again above our expectations! She was on time, attentive, trustworthy, and honest! Very knowledgeable on all types and walks of pups! We cant wait to book her again! 10/10”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, turtles and fish. I would dogsit for my neighbor from a young age, this included when they got old and had special food needs and the need for frequent bathroom visits, which I also cleaned up when needed. With my own dogs, I grew up caring for them and taking them for walks throughout the day. I enjoy playing with both cats and dogs, and getting the extra exercise! I am mainly interested in providing boarding and walks. I work full-time during the week but in the evenings and on weekends, I have the ability to provide plenty of attention, frequent walks and feed on a timely basis. I have a fenced yard with space for them to roam or run, crate and toys available for your pets. Smoke free home. Safe neighborhood. Close to parks and walkable areas.
“Aemelia was great. We and our puppies really enjoyed interacting with her. She was able to accommodate our last minute needs and was very cool about it. We will for sure be contacting her again and again.”
“Alex did a great job with our high energy dogs and shy kitties. It's unusual for some of our cats to meet pet sitters at all, but they warmed up to her right away. She was very flexible about coming over to meet the animals and was able to fit us in at the last minute for two drop in visits. Will absolutely book her again and highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, consistency, and attention I give to every pet. I don’t just stop in to complete tasks—I take the time to understand each animal’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I have experience with a variety of needs, including puppy care and basic training reinforcement. I can help maintain potty schedules, crate training, and simple commands, keeping things consistent so your puppy continues learning even when you’re not home. I’m also very comfortable with senior pet care, providing a slower, more attentive approach. I pay close attention to mobility, behavior, and any special routines to make sure older pets stay comfortable and stress-free. In addition, I’m detail-oriented and reliable. I carefully follow feeding schedules, instructions, and any special care requirements, and I always make sure your home and your pet’s space stay clean and well-maintained. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own—giving them patience, attention, and genuine care rather than just supervision. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around visits to ensure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention at consistent times. I’m reliable, flexible, and able to accommodate morning, afternoon on weekends and can provide full evening care, making sure each pet gets the time and consistency they need. For safety and trust, I always follow owner instructions carefully, keep environments clean and secure, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. I treat every home with respect and make sure pets are always in a safe, comfortable environment. tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the specific service requested, whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or extended stays. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also attentive to litter box or yard cleanup, administering medications if needed, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I respect your home, keep things tidy, and always make sure doors, gates, and pets are secure before leaving. No matter the setting, my goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have been dog walking and pet sitting since 2021 and have experience with many different breeds, as well as cats. I will adapt to your pet's energy level and make sure they get all the exercise and/or relaxation that they need! I have a very flexible schedule, and love to spend my free time taking dogs for walks on trails in the surrounding area, or just dropping in to let them outside. I look to provide a space where your pet can get their energy out in a fun and safe way! I believe open communication is important, and this will let me know how I can best show up for your pet.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 5. I love them all! I have a horse named Olay that I board not at my house!) And dogs and a cat! I’m a first grade teacher so I have summer off starting 6/5! So will be able to do anytime at that point! For now I can do weekdays after 3pm and anytime weekends! I have a fenced in yard with lots of fun smells and my dog likes everyone and every dog he’s ever met! He’ll play all day but can als take a hint! Then we can hang out inside too!
“Jessica has taken care of our cat on two separate occasions now. She always sends a thorough update with pictures each time she drops in. Jessica gives us great peace of mind while we are away that our cat will be well cared for!”
About: We’re excited to welcome your furry friend into our home! It’s important that your pet gets along with children and other animals, as I have a 2-year-old son with autism, along with two dogs and a cat, two ferrets. If your pet can fit in with our family, then we can’t wait to meet them! Your pet will feel right at home here. My son and I love going for walks and playing with the dogs, and we also enjoy fun trips to the park and the dog park. By the end of the day or week, your pet will definitely be worn out from all the fun activities! I’d be happy to share pictures of your pet throughout the day, so you can see how much they’re enjoying their time with us. They will be safe and well-cared for while they’re in my hands. If you could bring along their favorite toys, food, and bedding, that would help them feel more comfortable in a new environment. And rest assured, if there's any emergency, I will contact you right away. I’m looking forward to providing a wonderful stay for your pet!

Katherine was absolutely wonderful to work with and so great to our pup. We booked morning drop-ins and our girl can be a bit shy at first, but Katherine was so patients and great with her. She went above and beyond while we were away, was excellent at communicating and sending pics of our Cali girl. We can’t recommend Katherine enough!!

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.
