About: I have a 55 lb loving soul named Penny. I love coming home from work and there she is, excited to greet me. Walking dogs is relaxing and a great bonding experience. Car rides and dog parks are just the best. I am currently a teacher in Charlotte, but will be pretty open once classes and graduation are over on June 14th. Except for one week in July when I will be on vacation, my schedule will be wide open until mid-August. Let me care for your pet while you relax! I have one dog and a semi-feral cat. My pets are a part of the family and are allowed on furniture and beds, and very much welcome to take naps with me! My pets are well-loved and I give them my full attention. I enjoy walking my dog as much as she does. I am not squeamish at all of picking up poo in a bag and carrying it back home. Litter boxes - part of my life since I was a small child. I have much experience in that department. I love cats and dogs!

“Lindsay was so great with our pup! She spent a lot of quality time with her letting her play in the front yard and giving her plenty of love. My dog has some separation anxiety so it was soooo reassuring knowing that she was in good hands with Lindsay. Lindsay is also extremely responsive and friendly. We will definitely be booking with her again!”


“Averi is amazing, she responded quickly to my last minute requests and was so kind and gracious with my boy even though he has lots of quirks. Highly recommend!!”


“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!”



“Steve came to our family’s rescue after I tore my ACL. Our pup is VERY high energy and so I ran with him prior to my injury. All of that energy had to go somewhere while I recovered and Steve was that answer!”


About: I love animals and look forward to meeting your pet! Over the years, I've had several regular dog walking and sitting clients. I work from home, so I can be available to your dog all day. I would love to walk your dog or spend plenty of time with them in my fenced in yard. We have a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks to go for several daily walks. I am very detail-oriented and would care for your pet like my own. For boarding in my home, please note that I have a 12lb schnauzer mix named Teddy. He loves other dogs and gets along with them in our home. He is a rescue, so he's still warming up to human guests and may be crated during your meet & greet. I work from home, so I’m available to spend all day with your dog. I walk Teddy out between 8-9am to start the morning. I then let him out again around noon for a fetch break, and again in the evening for more fetch and a walk. I can be flexible on walks and outdoor time due to working from home. I care for each dog like my own! I keep a tidy home and have plenty of space in a fenced in back yard. Dogs must be housebroken to stay at my house, although I understand accidents happen. I prefer dogs that are crate trained, but will make an exception for well-behaved dogs. I cannot accommodate dogs who become destructive when left alone for brief periods.

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.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love and care for pets of all sizes and ages. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m dedicated to meeting those needs, whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior pet who needs extra attention and care. I’m flexible with walks, tailoring them to your pet’s energy level—whether it’s a quick jaunt or a leisurely stroll, I make sure they get exactly what they need. I also pay close attention to the specific instructions you provide, ensuring that I follow every detail to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well-cared for in your absence. Pet care fits seamlessly into my flexible daily schedule, allowing me to accommodate pets whenever they need me. I’m often available on short notice if last-minute situations arise, ensuring that your pet always has the care they deserve, even with little time to spare. Additionally, I’m happy to offer overnight care with the proper amount of pre-planning, ensuring your pet has a familiar and comfortable environment while you're away. I provide in-home care at your residence once we’ve had the proper introductions to ensure your pet feels comfortable with me. I take time to get to know your pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific care instructions you have. While in your home, I focus on providing a safe, familiar environment for your pet, maintaining their daily routines, and offering plenty of love, attention, and playtime. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I grew up with dogs and adopted our sweet Teddy a few years ago and I genuinely love spending time with all pups. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or just a cozy cuddle session. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I bring a calm, caring, and responsible approach to every visit. I’m currently working part-time, which means I have plenty of flexibility for dog walks and drop-ins after 2pm on weekdays and most of the day weekends. If your pup needs an extra walk, play session, or a little TLC while you’re away, I’m here to help. Whether I’m in my home or yours, your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I follow your instructions closely, make sure walks are always on-leash in safe areas, and keep fresh water available at all times. I’m attentive to any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy so you’re always in the loop. You can count on me for updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

“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.”


About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life and I'm the go-to dog sitter in my group of friends as well as my family. I have lots of experience with all ages of doggos, from puppy to senior. I have become a pro at introducing new dogs to our home and my dog as well as walking multiple dogs. I'm currently working from home so I have lots of time to play with your pups! I am available pretty much all day, every day unless traveling :) I work from home so I’m available to provide any level of pet care! Also a home owner so I can provide home care as well.

“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”


“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.”

“Tanja's caring knows no bounds! As a mother of two, devoted wife, school teacher, and cat mom, Tanja has the biggest heart. I've known her for over 20 years as a devoted pet mom.

Oakhurst dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!

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!

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!
