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.

“Arrell survived 3 drop-in visits with our crew…which honestly deserves some kind of medal 😂🐾 He handled the chaos, energy, zoomies, and “main character” personalities like a pro. Communication was great, he was reliable, and it was clear the dogs were well cared for while we were away. Would absolutely trust him with our furry tornadoes again. Thanks for keeping the pack happy, Arrell! 🐶”

“Hilary was absolutely incredible taking care of my cat Jinx. She has a massive love and passion with animals and it showed while watching Jinx. From playtime to consistent communication, Hilary made me feel safe knowing my cat was in good care while I was out of town. Will definitely book her again to pet sit!”

“Summer is a fantastic dog sitter — dependable, kind, and clearly great with dogs. My pup was well cared for and, most importantly, I had total peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

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.
About: My children want to pet sit your dogs! I will oversee their care and make sure all their needs are met but my boys will love your dog while you are away! They both love dogs and will treat them like they are their own. They will be well cared for, walked and have plenty of space to run outside. We work full time but will make sure they get plenty of attention and will be played with all night and afternoon. We can also send you photos while you are away and keep in contact so you know that your pets are well taken care of and loved. Our backyard is fenced in and we love long walks. Our dog Toby will be here as well to keep your dog company as well. We have a fenced in yard and our dog has full access to our home, he especially loves laying on the beds. We will treat yours just like ours. We will meet your pups needs just let us know what they are and feel free to ask any questions! We have been using Rover for almost 4 years and have met amazing people and have had a great experience! Our yard is fenced in. We allow pups to free roam unless you prefer them to be crated. We have plenty of space to play and rest and just enjoy their time here.
About: I formerly managed a wolf sanctuary, where I was responsible for the daily care and well-being of 78 wolves, wolfdogs, and 3 coyotes. I am physically comfortable handling any dog, and I love all animals. My greatest concern is always the safety of your animal, and I will do anything necessary to ensure the best care for any animal I am entrusted with. I am familiar with all aspects of animal care and am open to whatever you may need. I've earned the trust and love of abused wolves, have helped control 150 lb wolves for veterinary care, and walk my two wolfdogs twice a day; I am confident in my ability to care for your dog, no matter their needs or size. I am currently studying to earn my Journeyman Electrician Certification in South Carolina, after moving here from California. My wife works from home, so I am available whenever your pet may need! I understand that every home and every pet has different routines, environments, and needs, so in-home pet care will be tailored to your pet and their needs. I'm highly adaptable, I recognize you are the expert in your pet, and I will always abide by your guidance in working to keep your animal safe, comfortable, and enriched.
About: Hi everyone! My name is McKenna. I have been a registered nurse in the Charlotte area for 5 years. I have had dogs all my life, walked dogs through Wag all during college, and now have a golden retriever of my own. Dogs have definitely always been a huge part of my life! Being a dog mom, I understand how scary it can be to trust someone else with your pup. My own experience with Rover and the amount of love Sully received from his sitter put me at ease. I strive to do the same for other pet parents!! I only work 3 days a week, so drop in visits or walks are the perfect way to spend my days off. :) I’m a registered nurse working 3 days a week, so I have plenty of time to spend on my days off caring for your pups. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel at ease when they’re away (been there!), and my goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. As a nurse, I’m naturally very dependable, detail-oriented, and used to being trusted with important responsibilities. I bring that same level of care and attention when looking after someone’s pet. I know dogs feel most comfortable when their routine stays the same, so I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for walks, feeding, and playtime. I keep things calm and positive so the dog feels safe with me. I give dogs time to warm up to me, especially if they’re shy at first, and I use play, treats (if allowed), and walks to help them relax. Since I have a young golden retriever of my own, I understand how important it is to know your dog is being cared for with patience and kindness.
About: Since I was young, I’ve had a special connection with animals. I grew up in a home with dogs and cats, and over time, I became the go-to person for friends and family whenever they needed someone to care for their pets while they traveled. For over 10 years, I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring special care. I’ve also cared for cats, learning to respect their unique personalities and needs. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, love, and routine to ensure every pet feels safe and happy under my care. I work from home, so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule to care for your pets. Whether they need walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I’m passionate about. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles, your furry friend will receive plenty of attention and a home-like environment where they can feel happy and relaxed.
About: Hi! 🐾 I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years, including dogs, cats, and even a pig once! 🐷❤️ I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m also a proud dog mom to two pups of my own! I’ve raised and trained my oldest from puppyhood, the other we rescued last year from the shelter, and they’re happy, well-mannered, and well-behaved. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to give your fur baby the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. 🐶💕 I work full-time during the week, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention and care. I work from home 3 days a week, so I’m able to give pets lots of one-on-one time, attention, and companionship throughout the day. On the days I’m in the office, I can come home during my lunch break for a potty break, walk, and check-in. I’m available for boarding throughout the week and weekends. For drop-in visits and walks, I’m available during my lunch break or after work. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away! 🐾❤️ In my home, pets are part of the fam! 🐾❤️ I love giving them all the attention, belly rubs, playtime, and of course lots of love and cuddles. We have a large, fully fenced-in backyard where they can safely run around, explore, and play outside throughout the day, along with regular walks and plenty of outdoor time (only if they want, if they’re more of a stay in bed type of pup that’s fine we’re not judging😉) If your pup is comfortable around other dogs and you’re okay with it, they’re welcome to play and socialize with my two dogs as well! I’m also a big believer in letting pets get on the bed, lounge on the furniture, and snuggling 🛏️🐶 I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, companionship, and affection while they’re here. Whether they want to play fetch, chase a ball, explore the backyard, nap in a cozy spot, or simply get some extra belly rubs, I’ll follow their personality and routine so they feel safe, happy, and right at home. 💕
“Haley was great with my dog with special needs. She followed instructions provided updates and showed she really cared. We would definitely use Haley as our sitter again. Thank you!”

About: I have loved dogs since I was child. My parents thought a great way to learn about responsibilities was through caring for a pet, and I am so grateful for them, for that. I have a Goldendoodle that I shower with love and affection, and I would love to do the same for your pup! I would love to care for your dog, whether you need a day sitter, or overnight sitter. I would be happy to cater to your dogs personal needs, whether your dog likes playing indoors, or spending time outdoors. I hope you consider me when choosing a sitter for your furry friend, because I can assure you they’ll have a great time and be in great hands! I hope to meet you soon.

“This was our first time leaving our boys with a sitter and we were so nervous but Chloe did an excellent job reassuring us + providing updates so we still felt like we were home with them! She sent photos, videos, and communicated with us throughout the booking; we will absolutely book with Chloe in the future if she’s available!”

About: I adore animals big and small. Who says you can't be a dog AND a cat person? I equally love both, and I am looking to help out families whenever I can! I live in Charlotte, North Carolina and I would love to have your fur baby stay with me. I have previously taken care of special needs animals so I am very versatile and can accommodate any and every need you or your pet may have. I love to exercise so walking dogs is no issue. I hope to provide great services to you and anyone else you decide to recommend. Feel free to shoot me a message and let's talk about how I can help :) I am available weekdays after 4:30, but I work close to home and have the option for lunch breaks to come relieve the animals.

Lots of love and cuddles are always provided!

Lilly does a great job with my group! She takes great care of my dog and cats and even kept an eye on the chickens. She even brought her dog over to play with Macy so she could get some energy out. (The dogs have played together before). I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

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!

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.

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.
