“Shin was amazing with both of my pups and super communicative throughout the entire process from booking to pet walks! I would highly recommend her services and use her again!”
“Joann did great with a new client. My pups had a blast with her dropping in and she followed all instructions to the letter. Felt very secure having her coming to check on my goldens”
“Teresa was great! She took excellent care of our dog Kira and sent us a bunch of updates and pictures. We have very shy cats, one of our cats came out of hiding and let her pet them. We would love to book with her again! <3”
“I procrastinated and needed a last minute a pet sitter for my cat during the holidays. Annemarie was really accommodating to my needs on such a short notice, willing to even do a meet and greet on the day of booking since I had to leave the next day. Overall, Annemarie is a wonderful and trustworthy person who will send update pictures and videos of your four-legged best friend while following the notes you left to a T. Definitely recommend.”
“Alexandra provided care in our home for two dogs over multiple days. She followed all of our instructions and showed up on time to all the assigned visits. Based on the photos she provided of each visit, the dogs were comfortable with her and even ate regularly, which they sometimes do not when we are away. We would hire Alexandra again without hesitation.”
“Elizabeth is so great with Miss Rosemary always! My sweet girl enjoys the drop in visits. I feel so at ease knowing Elizabeth will be checking on her making sure all is well when I am away!”
“Sophie was absolutely amazing! She took care of my puppy like he was her own and helped me out so much with having to travel for a family emergency. I knew 100% he was in wonderful hands. I will be booking Sophie again. Don’t hesitate book Sophie !!”
“Stevie is absolutely fantastic. It is very obvious that she cares about our dogs with each interaction. She more often than not stays longer than she has to just so the dogs get some extra hang time. Stevie makes it so I can actually stop worrying about my pups while I’m away. She sends loads of great photos every time with a little paragraph telling me about the drop in. 10/10 would recommend”
“Charlie is great! We’ve only used him twice for Stuart but he’s very consistent and communicative which we appreciate so much. He definitely spends ample amount of time with Stuart to make sure he’s using every ounce of time with him within 30 mins. Highly recommend Charlie and we will continue to use him with Rover!!”
“Mo was awesome! I needed a last minute sitter for the 4th of July holiday weekend, and Mo took the job quickly! Prompt communicator, punctual, and an amazing cat photographer, and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my baby was taken care of. I will definitely contact Mo next time I need a catsitter!”
“Taylor was fantastic! She was very responsive and reliable, and made sure to do everything I asked. She took great care of my cats and gave me peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend her she’s amazing with dogs shows care the way that you’ll show your dog very friendly and trustworthy. She’s the best go to her for your best dog caregiver”
“McKenzie was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond in taking care of my cat while I was out of town. Would absolutely recommend her to take care of any/all fur babies :)”
“Awesome! She was super helpful and jumped in when I really needed her to take care of my pup and coordinated super well with other Rover team to keep things smooth.”
“Rebekah was wonderful! Quick to respond, so accommodating and overall we felt so safe having her come let our pup out! Got updates and pictures throughout, we will definitely be looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Dominique is professional and cares about our fur babies. I am really pleased w/ Dominique, thank you! I've two sweet cats and she was willing to work in time to talk to them and try entertaining them which is what they are accustomed to--not every pet sitter will take those few minutes.”
About: I have always had dogs in my life. I grew up on a farm and we had Goldens, Labs, and Great Pyrenees. I am no stranger to big dogs but I also love the little pups. In high school I volunteered at a Greyhound rescue. I would walk, feed and play with the pups as well as clean out their crates and their play yard. Two summers ago I had a babysitting and dog sitting job where I spent Monday-Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM with the child and the dog. I balanced the care of both the kid and the puppy, fed both and gave the dog walks. My most recent job was at Pet Wants Charlotte. To work there you're basically required to have a passion for animals. I went through extensive training and education in pet behavior and nutrition. I loved working there because we got to see pups everyday in the store and I felt very confident in my recommendations. I loved when a customer would come in with questions because I was able to exercise my knowledge and it was so rewarding for them to come back and tell me how much my recommendation helped them or how much their dog loved the food/product. Currently I am in school, so I can't have a dog but my roommates have two cats. I am currently a student at UNCC but I have a flexible schedule as most of my classes are online. I have no class Monday and Friday and am completely available on weekends. During the week I have classes Tuesday and Thursday from 1-2:30 and Wednesday from 6-7:30 and am available and flexible otherwise. My own cat sadly just passed but my roommates have two cats. Occasionally I scoop litter and feed the other two and I am always the one trusted with watching them when my roommates are traveling. When my cat was still with me I balanced his diet with wet food in the morning and fresh dry food at night, as well as keeping three stainless steel water fountains around my house. I scooped his litter once a day and fully emptied it and cleaned it every other week. I care very much about my animals and you can expect that same care and attention with yours. I love to go for runs and walks, especially if I'm doing that with a pup. I have no problem cleaning up mess or providing medicine as my roommates cat needs pill medication and eyedrops, which I have given before.

Oak Forest pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was the first vacation where I felt comfortable leaving my pets! We really appreciate how much attention Elizabeth put into caring for our dog. She left great feedback about our her condition throughout the day and communicated any concerns she had immediately. My dog LOVES Elizabeth too! Halfway through our trip we began planning other ways Elizabeth could care for our dog in the future!
Juliana was amazing! She had to deal with two difficult little dogs; one a biter and the other one we had just rescued 5 weeks before. She went on and beyond to make my babies feel safe. She was dependable and she kept me informed on a daily basis on how they were doing.
Ashtonette was a wonderful sitter! She walked our two big dogs(46 and 68lb) no problem, and made sure they were fed and watered while we were away for a week. She bought them more food when they ran out and even brought them treats. Communication was quick and easy. Loved this sitter and we’ll be booking again!
