“Brea is so attentive and personable. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and I felt comfortable with her watching my puppies. We will be booking with her again in the future! Thank you!!”
“Nataly kept us updated every time she checked in with photos. Our pups were happy when we got home. This is the 2nd time Nataly has taken care of them and we will be repeat customers.”
About: I’ve been working with dogs for 6 years, but they’ve been my biggest passion since I was little. I have a certification in dog training, have taken a first aid class, and have experience with all kinds of pups! Dogs are my full-time job, which means your pup gets all of my time and attention! My day revolves around the care of my furr-ends! I have a fenced in yard and have a room in my home dedicated to the care of my clients! I have large comfy kennel spaces for each of my guests but if your pup happens to be social and non-destructive I would allow them to free-roam!
About: I was born into a family of animal lovers and have never known life without pets. Over the years, my family has cared for 15+ animals, including dogs, cats and other small pets giving me lifelong experience with animals of different ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs. Today, I help care for our two dogs and am the primary caregiver for our three cats, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that pets need to feel safe and happy. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, providing daily exercise, and making sure dogs receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, or simply enjoys having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently taking a gap year before starting school and am part time self-employed, so pet care is one of my main priorities. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and most holidays. I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible and will always keep my availability up to date. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll carefully follow all of your instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications and any special care your pet may need. I’ll also make sure your home is respected by keeping things clean, secure and exactly as you left them. Since I have pets of my own, I currently only offer services in clients’ homes. This allows me to give your pet my full attention while keeping both your pets and mine comfortable and stress-free. I’ll always provide dependable care, plenty of affection and regular photo and text updates so that you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so I pride myself on clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet as if they were my own.
About: I grew up with multiple dogs in the home and loved taking them on walks and doing different types of enrichment. Needless to say not much has changed, I can’t wait to help make your pets life better and yours easier! I am currently an overnight baker so early morning walks are no problem! My sleep schedule is very flexible so accommodation during the day won’t be a problem either. While I won’t be hosting any animals in my home, communication, following rules and being on time are very important to me. I can’t wait to learn all about your animals!
“Monica was awesome. So patient with my girls, the one kitty didn’t want to be social and Monica patiently waited for her to come around. The girls loved her!! They were well taken care of and I had no worries.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always made sure they were taken care of. I’ve taken care of a total of 5 litters of golden retriever puppies. I have an 80 pound husky mix who is 3 years old. I walk him about 3-5 miles daily and love the occasional hikes and parks! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to watch your lovely pups. I am available most days every week including weekends! I have a friendly dog who loves to play and have the company of others. There’s a small dog park in my townhouse complex. I have an extra large dog crate if it is needed.
“Jessica took great care of our cat while we were out, and on short notice. Our care plans fell through and Jessica was quick to respond, communicative about visit times and always sent photos and updates on our kitty. Thank you so much for taking care of rafiki!”
About: I truly enjoy caring for animals and have experience with both dogs and cats of different ages and personalities. I’m comfortable following special diets, giving extra attention when needed, and helping pets feel calm and safe in new situations. I always focus on keeping pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a warm, safe, and loving environment where your pet can relax and feel at home 🫶🏻🐾 I am mostly available in the afternoon and evening, but I can adjust my schedule if needed. I’m happy to find a time that works best for you and your pet 😊 I care about safety, trust, and comfort for every pet. I follow the owner’s routine, keep the home clean, and make sure pets have food, water, and attention. I want every pet to feel safe and relaxed 🫶🏻
“Victoria was very thorough with the walk through and got along great with our 8 month old puppy. She was able to get into our condo and play with Oliver for an hour while we were away. She was able to give him enough stimulation so that Oliver wasn’t full of energy when we got home. Would definitely recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a rover to help with their puppers!”
“Mylene has been a blessing! I work odd hours so leaving my fur baby can be difficult. She’s been so helpful and attentive, willing to come take care of her even with my sporadic schedule. She communicates effectively and has a really positive vibe, I trust her going into my home. My 1yo fur baby loves her too, she told me herself. :)”
“Jillian is so sweet and attentive! I’ve been a repeat customer for some time now, and my dogs absolutely love her. I truly appreciate all the updates and the wonderful care she provides. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again soon! 🐾❤️”
“Katherine was so wonderful with our pups (3 all under 6 months)!!! Her time with the pups was more than asked for - she provided awesome pics & video which helped make me feel like all the pups were in great hands!”
About: I have 3 years of experience dog walking and pet sitting! I have watched various dog breeds as well as watched multiple dogs at one time. Pet care is apart of my daily and weekly routine depending on the needs of each pet I pet sit. I enjoy taking pets on walks, to the park and playing with them. I currently live in an apartment so when pet sitting I make sure pets have plenty of time outside on walks and at the pet parks near by.
“Sarah couldn't have done a better job then she did she had good communication with me she really went above and beyond what my expectations were for her she was so helpful she really took good care of Thor and my apartment looked great when I got home thanks again for everything i really appreciate it and I'm definitely going to hire her again in April when I go on my cruise if she's available”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals and would love to give your dog the exercise they need to live a happy and healthy life. I have a pretty open schedule and can work work around anything to give your pet some exercise. I can do any day of the week and work with your pet’s schedule I always respect the space I am in. I will only do the task at hand and leave the home as I found it. If the pet is in my home, I treat them like one of my own
About: Hello, we look forward to helping provide you with quality, dependable pet care services! We are Davis & Mackenzie, high school sweetheart newly-weds who are certified cat & animal lovers. Our fur babies are our whole entire world! We both came from households full of small animals around our whole lives, and cannot imagine a time where we have not cared for animals. In high school for Valentine's Day, we adopted our sweet Buddy, our senior kitty with asthma and urinary concerns. In college, Mackenzie adopted Lilah as her best friend. Both of our kitties have some special medical needs including asthma inhaler administration, pill administration, and ear drop medication occasionally. We also have traveled frequently with them due to moving and only having family out of state. They have come to Florida, Mississippi, Carolina beaches, and the mountains with us. That being said, we truly understand the feeling that no one can care for your animals like you do! And we hope we can alleviate those fears for others. Our dog Honey also has some particular medical needs revolving around allergies and anxiety, and we have a great extent of caring for her as well. Both of our cats require four small meals, multiple litter scoops, and lots of playtime a day, so we get it. We more than willing to offer multiple drop ins on weekend days and stay extended time if needed to alleviate any comfort worries. Our cat Lilah often tries to eat hazardous items, so we are absolutely meticulous about cleaning up charging cords, plastic wrappers, rubber bands, strings, shoes, you name it and promise to provide that same care to your animals. We have extensive cat toys that we can bring to play with your cats too, as we know how important continued enrichment is for them. We are highly knowledgable about diet restrictions and ways to provide value to our cats' quality of life. We want to leave them in better spirits and your home in better condition than when we arrived! While our children have special needs that make them our whole world, we wanted to open our evenings and weekends to helping care for other fur children! We realized how nice it was to finally have a sitter for our animals after anxiously travelling with them for years, and would love to continue to help others with the same needs! In order to save more pets from shelters, we would love to be part of someones "village" that they can rely on to check in our their cats. In our free time we love visiting the cat cafes locally too. Davis works full time with some WFH days where he could do a brief drop in around lunch or very early morning. Mackenzie is a full time student continuing her college education as a medical assistant. That being said, she has more availability on Mondays and Wednesdays, as well as weekends with Davis. We are unable to offer boarding in our home currently, nor can we offer overnights due to our animals. However, we can definitely stay late nights or early mornings on occasion! We promise to be extremely respectful of your home, treat your fur babies like our own, and be effective communicators! While Mackenzie and Davis primarily focus on feline or small dog care, we also are capable of small animal care of any kind, so please do inquire! As pet parents of 3 high needs animals, we are always doing something surrounding the care of our animals. That being said, we are currently unable to offer boarding in our home or staying overnights elsewhere. We have pretty open WEEKEND availability, as well as some early mornings, some evenings, and some midday availability depending on proximity and duration needed. Any messages asking about our availability will always receive a response! In general, our schedule openness is as follows: Monday & Wednesdays: 5-7am, 12-1pm sometimes, & 5:30-9pm Fridays: 5-7:30am and 2-10pm. Saturday + Sunday: Very open availability with sufficient notice! Please make an inquiry:) We also want to note that our base rate is set for us as a couple, so $19 if we both show up, or $19 if only one of us can make it too. We do most things together by choice, and our rate covers us both within the couple:) We are looking forward to offering drop in services! We will treat your animals and home with the absolute most respect, consideration, and care that we can. We love to provide thorough play time, adequate meals and litter scooping, and making sure messes are cleaned. We will be punctual and courteous, communicating effectively with continued updates. We are happy to send photos every time! We take most bookings as a couple (buddy system for safety & efficiency!) unless otherwise noted due to one person's scheduling conflict. We are unable to board animals in our home or offer overnights at this time.
“Liam was super nice and responsive!! He came by the house to let out our dog and our friends dog who was staying with us - he fed them dinner and played with them in the yard, he sent us lots of pictures! Very attentive and would recommend”
About: My name is Andy and I love to cat/dog sit, play and walk dogs. I grew up with cats and dogs and started taking care of neighbor’s animals while in high school. Since I do not currently have any pets, I am blessed to spend time with other animals. I look forward to meeting your furry friends. Hello, I live in Indian Trail and work in Monroe M-F 8-5 with very limited availability to walk dogs during these times. I love you walk in the evenings and can walk after6:00pm. I love cats and dogs as members of my family and no longer have fur babies of my own. I look forward to meeting your furry friends and have time to play with them and give them the love they deserve!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Matthews
Darby is the best!! She is so kind and loving. Our pets adore her and she takes so much time to update and send pictures. It’s hard to leave your pets but Darby made it so easy. She is responsive and communicates well. She took the time to meet our fur babies and went over the care instructions with care. Honestly, because of Darby this experience has been great.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jane was wonderful with my dog, T-Bone. She was incredibly patient and took the time to understand his needs as a shy pup. She was flexible in working with him, whether that meant using pee pads or encouraging him to go outside, and never pushed him beyond his comfort level. When she first arrived, he spent a lot of time hiding under the bed, but thanks to Jane's patience and care, he gradually came out of his shell and became his normal playful self. It was clear that she made him feel safe and comfortable. Jane also kept me updated throughout his stay with frequent messages and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciated the care and attention she gave him, and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Highly recommend! 🐾
Christina was great, she wasn’t scared away by my one dog’s less than warm welcome. I felt completely comfortable with her caring for my dogs in my home. Christina is very quick to respond. It was a great comfort to know she was there for them in the middle of a workday. I’ve already rebooked Christina for later this week!
No worries, Joseph helped us out in everything we asked. He was professional, timely and detail oriented [if we asked him, he took care of a task], he has a nice affinity and gentle nature that pairs well with animals. When we returned home from vacation, everything was as if we only left moments ago. That is a truly wonderful feeling.
Natalie went above and beyond for my pets! My dog has a sensitive stomach and had some issue while we were gone and she took such great care of her. I can tell she genuinely really cares for animals. It’s so hard to trust your pets with someone new, but you can trust Natalie!
Laura was AMAZING. This was our first time using rover for a sitter and i was super nervous leaving our babies. She did drop in visits for our two dogs and kitten. She went over and beyond! After the first drop in visit, my nerves were put to ease and I knew we picked the right person to check in on our fur babies. They all loved her and she loved all of them. Recommend 1000 percent!!
Reagan was amazing. This whole experience having a pet sitter through Rover and choosing Reagan to come take care of our babies was so worry free. Our pets absolutely loved her and she gave excellent updates on them while we were gone. We will definitely be booking Reagan again!
Sarah was absolutely incredible! My situation was a little unique, but she followed all of my instructions perfectly. She kept me updated each time she was on her way to my house and was always quick to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future if her schedule allows!

Before booking, confirm:

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Matthews 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.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
