“So grateful Samantha was able to come on such short notice. She was great!”
“Just one week into having Max (and his fiancé) take care of my two dogs and I’m already so impressed. Max and Jen took the time to get to know my dogs and asked tons of questions prior to starting weekly walks. They are both incredibly communicative and timely, send pictures and updates for each walk, and have been extremely patient with my female pup, who can be shy around new people. I will definitely turn to Max and Jen for any future dog sitting needs!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life and have loved taking care of them. I’ve pet sit for family and friends for years that included walks, baths, and play. I freelance in the TV and Film industry and am currently in between jobs and have loads of free time! I make my own schedule so I’m able to accommodate clients needs for their pets. I’m at the Village at Commonwealth which is an extremely pet friendly apartment complex. I live next to a large park with paths all around. It’s just me and my cat Kris, who absolutely loves dogs.
About: Hi there! I’m a passionate pet lover with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I currently have three amazing dogs of my own and have grown up surrounded by both dogs and cats, so I understand their needs, behaviors, and how to make them feel safe and loved. I often dog-sit for friends for days at a time and genuinely enjoy every moment of it. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’m committed to making sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. I’m young, active, and dependable. I offer in-home pet sitting and dog walking, and I’m more than happy to travel to you. I have my own car with a spacious backseat—perfect for picking up and safely transporting your pets if needed. I’d love the chance to meet your furry friend and give them the same level of care I give my own. I hope you’ll consider me—your pet will be in great hands! I work a hybrid schedule Monday through Wednesday from 8 AM to 12 PM, with flexibility in the afternoons. I’m typically off work by 3 PM, so I have ample time to give your pets the attention they deserve, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or in-home care. I understand that every pet has unique needs and preferences, and I’m dedicated to providing personalized care for each one. Whether your pet requires extra attention, a special routine, or medical care, I’m committed to ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m experienced in handling both energetic pets who love to play and more laid-back ones who just need some companionship. From administering medication to following specific feeding schedules or providing extra comfort, I tailor my approach to meet your pet’s individual needs.
About: I grew up surrounded by lots of cats and have been caring for them my whole life. I also have a dog and a cat of my own now, so I truly understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I naturally connect with dogs and cats of all kinds — shy, playful, big, or small — and I trained my own dog, so I’m comfortable handling different needs and personalities. I love giving every pet the same care and attention I’d want for my own fur babies. I recently had to quit my full time job to focus on my school. So i am mostly available. For the walks i prefer early or after 4-5pm because of the heat but otherwise i am mostly available. When I visit your home for walking or drop-in visits, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely — from feeding schedules to playtime preferences and any special needs. I spend quality time with them, offering lots of attention, gentle play, and calm companionship to help them feel safe and happy while you’re away. During walks, I keep your dog’s pace and personality in mind — whether they love energetic runs or slower strolls — and always prioritize their safety and comfort. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own.
“Keegan is great! She really cares about the dogs and their personalities. She notices the details about their behavior and knows how best to engage with them. Both times she spent the full 30 or 60 minutes with my dogs. She sent lots of pictures and notes about how things went. Best experience with rover so far.”
“So appreciate Katelyn! She was able to help in a scheduling pinch! She also takes very cute pup pics! :)”
About: I’ve been living in Charlotte with my 5 year old dog and 13 year old cat for about 4 years. I always had dogs growing up and my current dog is a reactive boy so I feel particularly well-versed in dog body language and behaviors after having spent some time with professional trainers for him. Looking forward to meeting your animals! I am currently doing contract based work so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to do drop-ins and walks pretty much anytime of day. I offer drop-ins at the client’s home. I am very detail oriented and will ensure that all requirements are met. I’ve hired Rover sitters for my own animals so I understand how much trust in involved in asking someone to come to your home and care for your animals.
About: I absolutely love animals and had several when I was growing up! From cats to dogs to fish to ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, rabbits, lizards.. I believe nothing compares to the companionship of a pet. I've always been the go to person to watch my family or friends pets because they know I am going to love them as if they're my own.

“Diem is so thoughtful, patient and truly loves animals. We love having her with us”
“This was the first time we used Eileen to walk our dog Charlie. She was very responsive and communicative and took him on his favorite route!”
About: I grew up fostering and rescuing dogs, volunteering at local shelters, and have an adopted lab mix rescue of my own, AJ. I believe every pet deserves someone who will give them extra special treatment and attention while their parents are away. Dogs can get lonely, and they need playtime, mental stimulation, and lots of cuddles too! I am here to provide you with these things and make sure your pets get the best care so that you can relax and enjoy your time away. I am punctual, communicative (when you want me to be), and extremely respectful of your space. I am also happy to water your plants, pick up the mail, or do any other small house tasks while you are away. I can't wait to work with you! LGBTQ+ friendly My full time job is being a mental health therapist, but am a serious animal lover. My schedule has gaps throughout the day and so offers some flexibility. I can sit on a consistent basis or drop-in if something comes up last minute! I am available some weekends, but it is best to reach out in advance so that I can fit you into my schedule! I am a very respectful house guest and will follow whatever house rules you set. I am comfortable administering oral medication, changing bandages, crating your dog. I am also comfortable with puppies and recent mamas. LGTBQ+ friendly
“Duncan is incredible!! He built an instant rapport with Diesel who absolutely LOVES him! She would wait in the hall for him to knock with her tail almost wagging off her body. Duncan was punctual, communicative, and engaged. He asked a ton of questions and was open to working with Diesel's special needs. I absolutely and without hesitation will have Duncan care for Diesel in the future”

Oakhurst dog parents share their Rover experiences
They were amazing with Colby & even gave my cat some love also! They are very communicative & made it very easy to trust them, highly recommend!
I can’t say enough great things about Lauren. As my first time using the app/service I was highly impressed. Throughout each walk, Lauren updated with daily photos and messages, letting me know how things were going. It gave me such peace of mind to know my dog was being loved, walked, and cared for like one of their own. I came home to a happy dog. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly passionate about pets, I highly recommend Lauren. I’ll definitely be booking again!
Joseph was wonderful and would highly recommend! We appreciate how communicative and responsive he is, and he was able to handle multiple dogs on short notice. You can tell through the photos he sent how much our pups were well taken care of. We will for sure be using him again in the future!
If "Above & beyond" were a person, it would be Elizabeth! The care Elizabeth showed for Diesel, from the meet & greet til their last walk was incredible. Diesel, who is known to be... "selective", got excited anytime she heard the buzzer sound and walked to the hallway and greet Elizabeth when they arrived. Normally she is very coy, but not with Elizabeth! It takes weeks for Diesel to warm to someone, but Elizabeth had her in days. It was clear that Elizabeth has a passion for dogs. Administratively, Elizabeth was prompt, communicative, and professional at all times. She displayed extraordinary patience before and during the booking process, as there were some issues on Rover's end. I would not hesitate to recommend Elizabeth to care for your animal. I will certainly be relying on her again, to care for mine.
Wesley does a great job with the pups and makes sure they get out for some good exercise and to take care of business.
Kai was the absolute best!!! We needed some extra special care with pick ups and walks the day of our wedding. Kai went above and beyond. 1000% recommend!!!!
Alex has been helpful and friendly with taking care of Arya. He was able to schedule a visit to meet Arya and help take care of her in no time at all!
John connected immediately with my 2 reactive boxers and provided excellent communication and service.
Christina was excellent and was available to walk and feed my girls on short notice for the holiday weekend. Was a huge relief that my girls were in such good care all weekend
Sam was fantastic taking care of our dog. Extremely responsive and he even came over to meet him on a weekend. Will use again and highly recommend.
This was a last minute request for dog sitting as my regular dog sitter got sick. Jillian was quick to respond that she was able to watch my 16 y/o dachshund. We made arrangements for a meet and greet and he absolutely loved her. While I was gone, Jillian was very communicative and sent photos. I came home to a very happy and well cared for dog. Will definitely reach out to Jillian again!
Enzo is absolutely PHENOMENAL! He took such great care of both of our pups, so that we were able to enjoy the weekend away without worrying about them. Would recommend him to anymore. Seriously, would give 10 stars if I could. Thanks again, Enzo!
We can’t say enough great things about Duncan! While we were away on vacation, he took incredible care of our dog, and we came home to a happy, well-exercised pup. Duncan was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a real love for animals. He sent us regular updates and photos, which gave us much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog adored him! We highly recommend Duncan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog walker. We’ll definitely be booking him again!
Ian was super communicative and flexible as I figured out the dates I needed him. He sent lots of pictures and my Rutabaga loved him!
Lauren was wonderful - she was very good at communicating and adjusting plans but also working with my crazy pup!
