“Shakoya was amazing caring for our two cats this past week—she played with them, talked with them, gave them so much love, and did every single thing on our care list for them. She went above and beyond, even taking in deliveries on our doorstep for us! She was timely each day and kept us updated on how they were doing and the behaviors they were exhibiting. She also sent lots of pictures, which we loved and appreciated greatly! We will definitely book with her again. Not a single bad thing to say. Thanks again, Shakoya!!”
“Beckye was great. She took such good care of my dog and cats. My dog gets nervous with change. She sat with him to make sure he ate. My cats have to eat separated so she made sure that was done.”
“Jenny did a phenomenal job! She was a sweet cat sitter to our pets Wasabi and Oreo. I could see from their daily photos she shared , they bonded with her very easily ! She was very thorough on each visit and always shared great detailed updates and photos ! She took great care of my fur babies as well as cleaning up after them. I look forward to working again with Jenny! She’s quite a blessing and put me at ease while we were away for a week on vacation. She did not miss a beat at all ! You won’t regret choosing Jenny, she’s amazing !”
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.
“My pup was well taken care of due to this drop in! This was my first time using this app and of course it somehow had my old address. Once I realized the mishap Joshua was already at my old apartment but had no issue driving to the new location! So grateful! I had put in a request on such short notice & they picked it up with no problem! Great service and response time 😊”
“Sharon was fantastic with our new pup! We were worried that our high energy 10 month old Aussie would be a struggle for someone new but Sharon was a pro with him. We will be recommending her to others and hope we can have her come back and walk our dog again too.”
“Jeff is our go-to Rover for our GusGus! Not everyone is willing to take care of big dogs. But Jeff is exceptional -professional, reliable, and available when we need him. GusGus has lots of energy - and Jeff gives him the long walks he needs. We can enjoy our time away knowing Gus is cared for and happy. Thanks, Jeff!”
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life & even fostered animals for a short period. From chihuahuas to great pyrenees, I have experience with them all. I have a full time job as a Social Worker, but I am 100% available to you and your pets during the weekends, early mornings, and weeknights. Looking forward to meeting your pups and kitties! My goal is to make sure your pet is happy. My personal pet has separation anxiety and I understand the fear in leaving your pet home alone. I will make sure your fur baby is cared for in every way possible!
“Ella did a great job being on time and giving us plenty of pictures while we were out of town. She was even flexible with the schedule after our flight was delayed. I’ll definitely ask Ella for help again.”
“Tarynne was amazing! I needed a last minute pet sitter for our fur babies and she came through! Not only that, but her communication was quick and she always let us know how they were doing. I definitely felt comfortable leaving our babies in her hands! We will definitely use her again! Thank you, Tarynne!”
“I know my dog is in good hands when he’s with Kristyn. I love getting her updates with pictures and videos of my dog having a good time. I’m happy we have Kristyn to rely on when we need someone to look after our boy.”
“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: 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: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups with all different personalities and needs. I am blessed with a 7 year old Maltese-poodle named Brinley and grew up with a schnauzer-poodle. I am always around my friends and family’s dogs as well so I am very comfortable with different breeds, temperatures, and routines. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe and cared for. Skilled in maintaining consistent schedules, ensuring safety on walks, and providing attentive, compassionate care. I would love to extend my love for dogs to others and help provide the best possible care! I have an open and flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of dog sitting/walking needs. Available weekdays, weekends, and last minute requests! My dog and I spend a lot of time outside on walks and playing fetch as well as quality time inside being cozy on the couch!

Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Wylie. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
