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 such a delight to work with, and was so open and communicative about Kitty while we were away, sending us many photos and an update every day. We will have her care for our cat again and can't recommend her highly enough!!

Even compared with the other sitters we’ve hired on Rover (who’ve always been good), Charlotte was particularly outstanding. She was very responsive, reliable, and compassionate in caring for our cat Cocoa while we were away on vacation. Not only did she provide detailed, articulate feedback for each visit (check-ins were twice daily) but she also took excellent pictures. Would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Charlotte was so kind and gentle in caring for our elder cat. She was thorough, prompt and trustworthy as well. She sent us photos with a detailed update on our sweet girl. Will definitely use her again!

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.
