“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.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog, Valen, while we were away! Judd went above and beyond in every possible way. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely loves and understands animals. Valen took to him instantly, which gave us so much peace of mind. Judd kept us updated daily with photos, videos, and little notes about their adventures together, so we always felt connected. It was heartwarming to see Valen so happy and well cared for, whether they were out on walks, playing, or just relaxing at home. He even gave her a bath!! Judd was not only incredibly responsible and attentive to Valen’s needs, but he also left the most thoughtful gifts for our kids, which was such a thoughtful touch. We came back to a relaxed and joyful pup, and we’re so grateful for the love and care Judd provided. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, look no further than Judd. We can’t recommend him highly enough!”
“Jamie is wonderful! She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was taken care of while we were away for a week. She's kind, reliable, and ready to help where needed. She provides lots of communication and I know our pup was happy in her care. Will definitely be reaching out to book her again in the future!”
“Dagnie did a great job with my dogs and cat! She sent photos at each visit and you could see how excited my pets were to see her. I returned home to find my pets well cared for. Thanks Dagnie!”
“Jessica was amazing! One of my guys had tummy issues while I was gone and Jessica took care of him like her own. I really appreciate you being there for Ricky!”

“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 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!
“Minh took care of our 2 cats for 7 days. This was the second time she sat for us and we are very pleased with her consistent service and attention to detail. Cats can be finicky but she went out of her way to engage with Scout and Biscuit and make careful observations regarding how they were doing. We are in good hands with Minh!”
“Carly can handle most any situation that comes up. Seems like my guys are always doing something weird or mischievous. I have booked Carly several times & will continue to do so.”
About: I was pre-vet in college, which is where my love for dogs began. I have since been training dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes over the past 5+ years! I have handled wild ones, tame ones, spicy ones and old ones and I love them all like they’re my own! I can be very very flexible most days, sometimes, with same day availability, so don’t hesitate to ask! I’m most open every other Monday, every Friday-Sunday, but most other days, I’ve got flexibility- I am mostly a stay at home mom, so I’ll just need a little heads up to drop my kid off with a sitter 😊 I have a fenced in yard and a garage that I pull in to so when transporting, the dog is never free roaming. I always transport dogs in crash- tested crates, to be extra safe and I have a room in my home, specifically for crating and rotating dogs!
“Dorothy may be the best pet sitter I've had. I've had many. She was thorough, calm, patient and did exactly The way I wanted. She stayed in touch while I was gone. Will use her again 💯”
About: I am fresh out of high school and just turned 18. I’ve been looking forward to being able to join Rover as a sitter for 5 years. I love animals and have a bond with most. I have 2 dogs, a German Shepherd and a Chihuahua. I am also a volunteer with the No Kill Cat Rescue. And am always the go-to person for all my friends and family who need me to watch their pets! I have school from 9 am to 4 pm so i am free to work from 4:10 pm to 10 pm! Feel free to book me then! I love animals and i try my best to follow every single rule that an owner gives me. I love training dogs a bit to get their mind sharper and i love to pet and brush them if needed.
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!
About: A huge animal lover! Very active and love for my animals to do things with me such as walks, play fetch and more! I have been around dogs all my life and have a German Shepard mix along with an schnauzer/yorkie mix. I am a full-time student looking to make some additional income and what better way to do it then spend it with fur babies! I love big and small dogs and have zero issues working with flexible schedules. Most of my classes are online so it helps me to have a lot of flexibilty. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to me and I will get back to you as soon as possible! I look forward to working with you.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Matthews
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! 🐾❤️
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!
Jenni was absolutely amazing. She is by far the most professional dog sitter I've used, and our pets could sense her good nature because they warmed up to her immediately! She gave us peace of mind leaving our boys alone overnight for the first time. She was flexible with our schedules, communicative, and thoughtful. We received lots of pictures, which helped me feel more at ease. I could not recommend Jenni enough as a dog sitter and we will definitely be using her services in the future!
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!

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

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.
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.
