“Melanie always takes such great care and concern for my fur baby while delivering excellent customer service. She is incredibly responsive and flexible when my work day takes unexpected twists and turns, causing delays in picking my fur baby up from day care. She is always so sweet, kind, and understanding. So glad I found her in the Charlotte area!”


“Highly recommend! I was able to secure a last minute booking for my tiny Chihuahua puppy while my daughter went to a doctor's appointment nearby, very happy with the service Schneila provided.”



“Jasmine was so good with sending us updates and being flexible with timing. Oliver made new friends and he had such a fun time! She went above and beyond! I felt so comfortable leaving Oliver with her :)”


“Enzo is fantastic! My pup Rosie, is very timid and shy and nervous but he took his time with her and really helped her open up a bit. In the event that I ever needed some last minute dog sitting, Enzos my first to go to! Definitely bring your doggies to him!”


“Thanks again for watching Luna for me and treating her to such a fun day! Luna is always so happy to spend the day there. Thanks for being quick to respond and keeping me updated with pictures! I know Luna is already looking forward to her next stay!”


“Susana is an incredible sitter and Izzy is the perfect canine cohost. I instantly felt at ease leaving my dog with them and Susana provided the most thorough updates and stream of photos that I’ve ever received on Rover. My senior dog is usually a little shy on a first visit, but he napped and played with her dog all day. We will definitely be back!”


“Thanks for taking such great care of our girl! Being her first Rover experience, we really appreciated the several updates and photos throughout the day. Made us so happy to see that she was having a blast playing with the other dogs. Came home home happy, tired, and with the most adorable customized treat package with a polaroid-type photo of her with her name on it! Exceeded expectations.”


“Ashly was incredible with our little golden doodle pup! We were very nervous at first with a sitter since we only had him for 4 days but she made us feel comfortable and safe!”


“Shannon is awesome! With my busy work schedule, she was okay with a late night pick up. She even recorded when Georgia drank water, went outside, etc. Georgia even got to cuddle up in bed with her. Such a great experience with Shannon and Rover knowing that my fur baby was well taken care of. We will definitely be returning for future help with Georgia. 10/10 recommend.”


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: Animals aren’t just pets — they’re family. I’d be more than happy to care for your dog or cat with the same love and attention they’re used to. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to offer walks or drop-in visits as needed. I form strong bonds with animals quickly and naturally, so your pet will feel comfortable and well-cared for. Let me know what you need, and I’ll be happy to work with you to find the right arrangement. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furry family member! Please NOTE: For house sitting requests, I do have a Yorkie that I may need to bring with me. Thank you! I work remotely so my schedule is very flexible. Communicate what’s needed and I’m sure we can work something out. Love to see how I can assist! I personally allow my dogs on furniture but if that is not your preference, let me know and I’ll be sure to follow your rules in your home.

“Franz is absolutely in love with Angelica, he's so excited to see her. Great sitter, super responsive and sends pictures regularly. We're very happy we found her!”


“So thankful for Thu! She was able to watch Jasper last minute on a holiday weekend and did a great job handling all of his puppy energy. She sent pic updates and was communicative and flexible. Definitely recommend!”


About: My name is Alexandra but I go by Sasha which is an official nick name for all Alexandras in Russia. I was a primary caretaker of my first dog since I was 7yo. and brought street dogs home to take care of all my life. Also we as a family used to have a toy yorkie Teddy who passed in 2016. It took us many years to accept the loss and we are now looking for a perfect match! What sets me apart is that I am a stay at home mom with 3 little helpers of different ages that will make your furry baby feel at home and like she or he is a part of the family however long or short it will be! My girls (and I) are extremely loving and caring but also mindful and know when to give pets their space! We are excited to meet you and your precious pet(s) and provide the best care we can! I also speak Russian. I am a stay at home mom and love long walks anyways so it's easy to find or make time for pet care! Plus it actually helps to keep my kids off the screen because they love being hands on and help with anything they can when it comes to dogs! I have an amazing support team that are my children who adore animals and love to entertain and help with them and are very mindful and attentive so they go above and beyond to care for every furry guest making them feel so loved and cared for while also reading and honoring a doggy's boundaries and space and precisely following the owners instructions!

She takes the responsibility very seriously by honoring all the requests from the owner. She never takes unnecessary risks making sure the dogs are safe but also gives them just enough space to feel free. When I have a dog she will most certainly be my trusted go to!”
