About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve spent years caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, reptiles, and other small animals. I currently manage a busy homestead and rabbitry, giving me extensive hands-on experience with feeding schedules, medication administration, cleaning routines, and monitoring animal health and behavior. I have experience working with puppies, senior pets, and animals that require extra patience and attention. I am also actively involved in service dog training, which has strengthened my understanding of positive reinforcement, consistency, and animal behavior. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize safety, comfort, exercise, and plenty of love while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or specialized care, I am committed to providing dependable and compassionate service As a recent high school graduate with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. Animals are a daily part of my life through my dog, rabbitry, cats, chickens, and other pets. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship while making sure each pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with patience, kindness, and respect. Through owning and caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and poultry, I have developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and daily care needs. I am also actively involved in training my service dog, which has taught me the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and safety. I follow all owner instructions carefully and provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving the best possible care.
About: I've been a dog owner and dog lover for most of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I lost my 16 year old chihuahua/poodle last year. I'm not quite ready for another dog of my own yet but I LOVE to love up on my friends and families fur babies. I have experience with house sitting, boarding and walking dogs. I'm active, dependable, and already get outside for 12-15k steps per day....so having a four-legged walking buddy is a bonus! I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I'll always follow your instructions and treat your dog with the same care and attention I'd want for my own. Whether your dog needs a good walk to burn off some energy, a potty break, playtime, or just some company and attention while you're away, I'm happy to help. I'm reliable, communicative, and will make sure you know your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for while they're with me. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to offer walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m active and already spend a lot of time walking, so I’d love to have a four-legged companion join me! I’m happy to work with your dog’s normal routine and can accommodate both shorter potty breaks and longer walks depending on their needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications or any special needs you share with me. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll also treat your space with respect and make sure everything is secure when I leave. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and getting plenty of attention.
About: I have years of experience with dogs of all kinds, and love each one like they are my own! I love caring for them and see each of their personalities. I am currently on my summer break before college and have a very open schedule. I am free any time of the day, weekends included! I love to play with my pup at home for hours and make sure she gets the exercise she needs through walks. I enjoy taking her new places so she can explore new environments and smells. I will make sure your pup gets the exercise and fun time they need!
About: Hi! My name is Carina and Ive always been an animal lover. My friends and family call me Snow White because of it. If there is an animal around thats where you'll find me. I have experience with fostering bottle fed kittens, kittens and cats with medical needs, dog and cat ownership. I've also had experience caring for a dog with epilepsy and a dog with severe anxiety. I love all animals and tend to be the one that can get the less social ones to warm up to me. I would love to come meet your furry family and help keep them loved and cared for when needed. Animals provide us with such happiness and unconditional love. I believe we all have a duty to give back as much of that love as possible. They surely deserve it! I am currently available 24/7 to care for your pets. Whether you need check ins, full day or overnight care, I am available to help! Since I have two cats of my own, care will be provided in your home. I believe caring for animals in an environment they are familiar with is essential to their safety and comfort. All care notes and preferences will be followed to a T and all animals will be treated with the upmost caution, safety and love.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. I used to have a sweet girl named Susie who filled my heart with love and taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and compassion. After she passed away three years ago, I’ve continued caring for pets belonging to neighbors, friends, and family whenever they go out of town. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or giving extra cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and safe while their owners are away. From energetic puppies to calm senior dogs, I’m experienced in adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I do have a puppy named cocoa as of December 2025. She is the light of our lives!! We love her so much. I work from home three days a week and go into the office twice, so I have a very flexible schedule! On my work-from-home days, I’m available all day to give your pup plenty of love, walks, and attention. Even on my office days, I can still accommodate morning, evening, and overnight visits as needed. Your pet will always be in a safe, supervised environment where they can feel right at home. I’m attentive, caring, and but most importantly will love your fur babies like they’re my own. I can also easily crate your dog if needed or follow any specific routines you prefer.

“Katie took care following the instructions we left. Each day we got a photo of our sassy monster, who eventually warmed up to her but still from a distance :) If Katie had a question she'd text us for an answer. We're very happy and will use her services again in the future.”

My flexible work schedule allows me to adjust my availability around your pet’s needs. I can provide regular feedings, walks, playtime, and dependable care based on your request. When caring for your pet in your home, I'll maintain their routine and provide attentive supervision, especially during walks. Your pet’s safety and well being are always my top priorities.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Wylie
Rebecca was amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better person to care for Nala while we were away. Since Nala is a very routine oriented dog, Rebecca did a fantastic job maintaining her daily schedule and keeping her comfortable. Nala usually takes time to trust new people, but she quickly felt safe and cared for with Rebecca, which gave us great peace of mind. Rebecca was also very flexible with scheduling, worked great with the hours we needed, and was always available to answer any questions or address any concerns. She was attentive, patient, and genuinely cared for Nala as if she were her own. We highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!

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 Lake Wylie 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 Lake Wylie 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 .

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 Lake Wylie with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
