I'm a graduate student with a flexible lab schedule, which allows me to plan my days around pet care. I often arrange my experiments so I can check in on pets as needed throughout the day. My weekends are usually open too, so I have plenty of time for longer visits or just hanging out and giving them some extra attention.

Safety, trust & environment

I take a lot of care in looking after my own cats, and I bring that same level of attention and responsibility to caring for pets in my clients’ homes. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, playtime, or just keeping them company, I aim to provide thoughtful, reliable care that keeps your pet comfortable and happy while you’re away.

Information Charlotte R. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know any routines, medical needs, dietary restrictions, or behavioral quirks ahead of time so I can provide the best care possible. I also like to understand what your pet enjoys—whether it’s certain toys, walking routes, or preferred ways of being approached or comforted. The more I know up front, the better I can keep your pet happy, healthy, and stress-free, and give you peace of mind while you're away.

A typical day

It depends on the pet’s personality and needs, but I love engaging them with fun and stimulating activities—whether it’s playing with toys, going on walks, exploring the yard, or just relaxing with them if they prefer a calm vibe. For cats, that might mean interactive play with wands or laser pointers, and for dogs, anything from fetch to sniff walks. I try to keep things enriching and enjoyable so they feel happy and well cared for while you're away.

Pet care experience

I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats—I've always had cats of my own and have done a lot of dog sitting over the years. I'm confident handling everything from walks and playtime to quiet companionship and routine care. I’m also big on communication, and I love sending lots of cute photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved, and that you feel totally at ease.

Charlotte was amazing as ever with our cats and took great care of them. She goes above and beyond and we look forward to having her pet sit for us again in the future.

Charlotte did a fantastic job with our two cats! She send us great updates with cute pictures and followed all directions perfectly. Will definitely plan to book her again when we are next out of town! By far one of the best rovers we have ever had the pleasure of having.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
