“Jordan did amazing with my cat Chester! She made me feel so at ease leaving him! She sent me great updates and pictures and I definitely will be having her watch him again in the future! 🤍”

“I can’t recommend Jenni and Raymond enough! She has watched my dog on a drop in basis three days per week for months. She has never not been able to come as scheduled. She is completely responsive to all my needs and schedule alterations. I will continue to use her going forward on an as needed basis. Loves dogs, highly recommended!”

“Laura was a huge help with my cat when I went out of town for a few days. She sent lots of pictures and updates and made being away much less stressful!! Highly recommend!”

“We are so grateful for Natalie! She took amazing care of our cat, Milo, while we were out of town and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she make sure Milo was well cared for and loved, but she also helped us by bringing in packages, watering our flowers, and even taking our trash cans to the road. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Milo and our home were in such good hands. We came back to a happy kitty and everything just as we left it. Highly recommend Natalie. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“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”

“Jane is 100/10 amazing! She sent photos, asked questions when she needed clarification, and even followed up the following day to make sure all was good when we arrived back home. We’ll absolutely be using her again in the future!”

“Kristin did an Amazing job taking care of our pups. She is truly an animal lover. Our pups were well taken care of and she kept us updated every visit with photos and little summary. It’s very comforting knowing your pups are in good hands when you are away! Thank you Kristin.”

“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 💯”

“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!”

“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 work from home and would love an excuse to get up from my desk and what better excuse than to get some puppy and dog cuddles while also getting exercise by walking. I currently have a corporate work from home job that requires me to be at a desk. This type of schedule fits into my routine because it allows me to visit pets before starting work, at lunch or breaks, and also after work. My schedule is very flexible that I can meet you where you need it. I am very detail oriented and a huge pet lover at heart so when I am visiting your house, I respect the house rules and follow instructions to a T. I also am very high energy due to ADHD and am a great partner for fetch and walks.
About: I have been caring for animals my whole life. I have had mostly rescue animals as pets, and find they are such a joy. Even working through the difficult times pays off as they are so appreciative of being rescued. I first thought about caring for other peoples’ pets after my first experience boarding my own dogs during a business trip. The experience was terrible! I want everyone to have the freedom to travel and take care of their needs all while knowing their pets are safe and well-cared for. That is why I do what I do! I am a homeschool mama so I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. At the moment, my schedule is very flexible. I hope to offer boarding in the near future. Every person has specific desires and needs, and I will work with you to make sure you and your pets are comfortable. I’m very comfortable around animals with different special circumstances, and that usually allows the pet to relax and allow himself to get comfortable around me.
About: Hi, I'm Katie! I have a 2 year old Australian Shepherd Mix who is just about the friendliest dog you could meet and you love to have friends come stay the night! I have a backyard your pooch can romp around in and a trail just outside our back gate if they love to take walks! Ryker has wayyy too many toys and is willing to share them! I am home throughout the day. Your furbaby is my top priority and they will be so loved while you are gone. I have had pets for the majority of my life, took care of friend's pets while they were away, and even worked at a kennel a few years ago, so I have plenty of care-taking experience!
“Journey was awesome with our kitty cats. She instantly clicked with both of them. It was the first time we left both at home and we absolutely were relaxed with Journey’s updates and sending us pictures and videos.”

About: Caring for pets is more than a job to me—it’s a responsibility I take to heart. I treat every pet as family, providing calm, attentive, and personalized care based on their unique routine and personality. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or senior, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I follow instructions carefully, maintain familiar routines, and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is simple: happy, relaxed pets and confident, reassured owners. I’m available to care for your beloved pet 7 days a week and live in the Charlotte area so call on me to care for your little loves. I have a reliable car, I’m extremely clean and have great references. You’ll feel at peace with my care of your beloved pet at home

Matthews pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kelly did an amazing job with drop-in visits for our dog while we were gone for a week. We could tell our dog was relaxed and having a great experience. The pictures and videos were great to view. Her communication was excellent. We will definitely be using Kelly again next time we are out of town and need a dog sitter.

Viviana was awesome! She was on time and responsive. Our cat can be a lot due to her anxiety but that was no problem for Viviana. We had a hiccup with leaving concert tickets at our house and Viviana jumped in to help! She was great and I will definitely be using her again for my daughter Ms. Finn Cat!

Absolutely thrilled with Sophia as our dog sitter for Maggie Mae! She was incredibly diligent, consistently arriving on time for every visit, and went above and beyond to make sure Maggie Mae felt loved and cared for. Sophia has such a sweet and gentle way with dogs—Maggie Mae took to her right away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and trustworthy dog sitter.

My job required a few days with fairly long hours away from my home on very short notice. In turn, I had to find someone to let my pups out with very short notice to the Sitter. I'm usually not comfortable with strangers, workers, cleaning professionals etc... in my home when I am not here. My dogs are both fairly large, excitable and can be a lot to handle. I found Isabel on Rover and let her know my dilemma as well as the size / temperament of my puppies and she agreed with no hesitation to schedule a few drops-ins to let them out back, have a little play time and make sure their water bowl was full before leaving. Isabel is very professional, excellent with communication, punctual and must have the patience of a Saint as she has agreed to help me out in the future. I highly recommend Isabel.
