About: I’ve cared for and owned pets since childhood. Experienced in senior care and special needs. I love exercise, dog walks and animal care. My home is pet friendly with no children and I love to spoil my/all furbabies! I am currently working from home and have a part-time schedule w/plenty of time to commit to my/your pets. My daily routine is flexible. I love exercise, dog walks, play and spoiling all pets. I recently left corporate America to focus on what I love-animal care and services. I have a pet friendly home in Cotswold. I have a large private, locked fenced in yard with an 8ft fence. I currently have 1 small loving 4 year old shorkeipoo who loves company and play time.

About: I work from home so I have a ton of flexibility in caring for your pet. I've had both cats and dogs since I was 12 and have cared for them all of their lives, I also have experience with senior dogs, my dog passed last year after living a long 13 years! I have a very secure, fenced yard plus extra rooms inside the house for your dog or cat to have its own space, however they are welcome to hang out anywhere around the house! I work from home and I have plenty of flexibility to go on walks, play and give your pet the adequate attention needed. I am also very active so I can go on walks often if needed. I have a large house, fit for pets to have plenty of room to explore. I also have a fenced backyard great for dogs to play.

“Joesph was great always on time, and took great care of our Reese & Nash which is so comforting knowing they were in good hands. We will absolutely see if he’s available next time we are out of town.”

“Sarah was great with my dog over the weekend and sent me plenty of pictures to make sure we were well informed. She had a very affordable rate and was available without issue. If I need any additional walks in the future I will be sure to keep her in mind!”


“So grateful Samantha was able to come on such short notice. She was great!”


“She did a wonderful job with my pup Emmett! He feel in love with her the second he saw her! Even rolled over for a belly rub lol. I’m going to be booking her a few times a week so my pup can be worn out and I can do my college work! Excellent experience!!!”


About: - Certified by NAPPS (National Association of Pet Sitters) - Certified by American Red Cross Pet First Aide - Partner of Pet Sitters International - Insured and Bonded Hi! I've had pets all my life and have worked professionally as a pet sitter, dog walker, volunteer coordinator at rescue, vet nursing, and volunteer over the past 18 years.

Looking forward to connecting and caring for your furry kiddos! I will try to mimic the routine you have with your pets based on our conversation- any notes you have for me to follow so that your fur kid doesn't experience too much change from your routine with them I will follow. ***Dogs are always walked BEFORE being fed to avoid the life threatening condition called Bloat. Water will be full.

“Where do I even begin? This was the first time I have used a service like this, and this won’t be the last. Steve was incredible, I am a crazy dog mom like crazy, and he put me at ease, sending me pictures of their walks as well as the trail they walked on! My girls are a hyper bunch and he handled them without any issues! We are so thankful to have met Steve, and I look forward to using him in the future!!! Can’t thank him enough!”


“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 have been around dogs my entire life and have experience fostering them as well. I am well-versed in caring for dogs of all ages, from senior pups—like my 15-year-old dog—to young puppies, as my family welcomed two within the past year. This summer, I have a completely open schedule, allowing me to accommodate any pet sitting or dog walking needs at any time. I'm flexible and available whenever you need reliable care for your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I ensure they feel comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. I follow any specific instructions provided, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and medication needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while keeping their space clean and tidy. Additionally, I make sure they get regular walks, potty breaks, and any necessary care to keep them happy and healthy.

“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”


About: I have always been a lover of animals and take time for critters to get comfortable with me before ambushing their cute faces ~ giving space for animals to live in their space and know I’m there to care for them! I’m super active and love to be outside anyway, why not have a pet join?? I currently work part time as a tutor in south Charlotte. I work half days often so I can let out any animals in the morning and take a walk, walk midway through the day, and I am available for overnights because I don’t have a pet at home myself I clean surfaces to be as they were when I found them. Which includes baths if needed and lint rollers to-go! I will obey all of your rules for your pet because just like kids- they’re not mine I’m just a helping hand!

“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!”
