About: I have always had a dog growing up but rescued my own dog, almost 7 years ago and trained him from 1 month old. The experience intensified my love for dogs and training them! I am used to going on walks, potty training, and feeding schedules as well as accommodating quirks (my guy can be weird so I get it lol). I work full time from home so as long as I have notice of when I am needed it should work seamlessly in my life. If pet sitting at your home I want to keep your dog as comfortable and on routine as possible. I am well versed in all sorts of quirks so just let me know and I can adapt to whatever your pet needs. I will be diligent about following instructions and will give lots of attention and affection while you are away.

About: As long as I have lived I have been surrounded by pets of all kinds. Namely cats and dogs, but also guinea pigs, ferrets, chinchillas, snakes, hamsters, fish, and others. Even since moving out I still regularly care for my friends and families pets. This has given me experience in taking care of pets in all stages of life, from newborns needing potty training to seniors needing medication. I work from home, and most of my work day is hands off letting some coding scripts run. So this gives me a lot of flexibility and time in my day that outside of some select meetings I can focus fully on your pet. If allowed to work in your space I can make any schedule of your pet's needs work. This allows me to always be available to your pet, and combined with my extensive experience in taking care of pets with specialty needs I feel confident in my ability to provide the best possible care.
“Skylar was a great dog walker for our senior pup. She was always on-time and took great care of Daisy throughout her walk. We'll be working with her again in the future!”

“This was my first time having someone walk my Nova girl and I was very impressed with Cerys’ communication and ability to connect with Nova so quickly! It was such a relief coming home from a long work days to a happy pup. Thank you, Cerys!!”

“Kristena is this patient, flexible and knowledgeable. She has the same breed of dog that I have and she’s giving me great insight on bear. When Bear returns home from the walk, he is so tired that all he can do is lay on the floor, which I appreciate very much. Since our chronic migraines and other health issues, I really appreciate all that Kristena how interacts with Bear.”

“Sarah and Dru were the best rovers I have ever seen. Super friendly, easy to communicate with, and EXTREMELY loving with my fur baby. Your dog is lucky if they get to have these folks take care of them.”

“Shakoya and Cannoli got along as soon as she walked in the door! She’s timely and ensures both you and your pet are comfortable even before the actual walk :)”

About: I have had my own dogs for 5 years. My two dogs are my heart! I raised my first pup from 2 months old, and our second dog we rescued when he was six months. I have the patience. I worked for a doggy daycare/boarding facility for 2 years, and I have a CPR training and certification. I have been dog sitting since highschool, I pet sit my friends dogs, cats, and even goats and chickens! I have administered medication (except needles). I love making friends with animals! I’m currently working from home, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pups. I will be able to walk, check in on, or come hang out with your pups mon-fri 8am-7pm. I will also have various overnights that I would be able to do with notice, as I do have 2 of my own dogs that need my attention! Weekends I’m available 8am-4pm I have two of my own dogs that work well with other pups if socialization is needed. My two pups are good company for all kinds of pups! I can go to anyone within range!
About: Lifelong Cat and Dog owner, with a year of 1 on 1 dog daycare enrichment specialist experience, looking to make a professional difference in the lives of other pet owners! In between careers, so I have pretty open availability. Prefer during the day, but can be flexible depending where needed. Prefer to work in daytime.

“Chloe is the best! She’s incredibly consistent, always communicative, and makes scheduling a breeze. I have peace of mind knowing my pup is in great hands. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Emily was great- responsive, caring, and took her time getting to know our dog who can be difficult with new people (#chihuahuas). She was patient and Cabo really enjoyed his time with her and was happy when we got home.”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, and for the past 7 years I’ve cared for dogs hands-on (daily walks, sitting, feeding, and training, including obedience and teaching them fun tricks). I have so much patience and love to give, and I truly cherish every moment with them, whether it’s an active walk or just sitting with them when they’re sick. I adore puppies and love potty training them, but senior dogs have such a special place in my heart too. Caring for dogs has been part of my whole life, and honestly, this doesn’t feel like a job to me, it feels like getting to spend my day surrounded by furry friends while their pet parents are away. I have open availability for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and day care. I’m usually home all the time so I can easily work around your pet’s routine and can typically accommodate both weekday and weekend requests. I live in an apartment next to a park where I take dogs for a walk and some play and outdoor time. Inside my home they have a comfortable space to relax and settle in with toys, water stations and lots of sunlight and fans if needed. For drop-ins and house-sitting at your home, I closely follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine to keep things consistent, and I send photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“I can tell Katie truly cares for my pup. She is on time, very responsive, and I look forward to the pictures and all that she writes in the report card. Thank you, you’re a blessing!”

About: Dogs have been the center of my life for over 16 years. My journey started with my two little terriers. A Yorkie and a Silky Terrier who quickly turned my love for animals into a lifelong passion and purpose. Over the years I became the person friends, family, and neighbors call when they find an animal in need. Whether it's helping rescue a neglected dog, connecting someone with a shelter, or stepping in to care for a pet, I’ve always felt a deep responsibility to advocate for animals who can’t speak for themselves. In August 2023 I lost my soul dog, Lola, and the grief was overwhelming. In her honor, I began volunteering at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Animal Shelter in October 2023. Helping the dogs there reminded me how much love I still had to give. Since then I’ve fostered dogs for the shelter as well as local rescues like Peanut’s Place Small Dog Rescue and FurBabies Animal Rescue. Every foster that has passed through my home has received my full heart and dedication, and seeing them find loving homes has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. In 2024 I foster-failed with my sweet girl Lacey, who reminded me so much of Lola and became a permanent part of my family. Caring for rescue dogs has given me experience with dogs of many breeds, temperaments, and ages, from shy and scared pups to energetic personalities who just need guidance and love. Dogs aren’t just pets to me, they are family. I treat every dog in my care the same way I treat my own. I am currently working part-time, so I am home most of the day. My schedule is flexible and can make myself available for walks and feedings morning midday afternoons and evenings as needed. Providing a safe, loving, and calm environment is always my top priority. I live in a townhome with a small fenced backyard, and our neighborhood is extremely dog-friendly. Many of my neighbors have dogs, so I’m constantly out walking my dog and foster pups making sure they get exercise, enrichment, and fresh air. When caring for dogs in my home or yours, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also understand that every dog has a unique personality and comfort level, so I always take the time to learn their needs and boundaries. Safety and trust are incredibly important to me. I pay close attention to body language, keep a clean and calm environment, and ensure dogs always feel secure and comfortable. My experience volunteering, fostering, and walking dogs has helped me become very attentive to changes in behavior, energy, and stress levels. Whether your dog needs a relaxing walk, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, you can trust that they will receive patience, love, and attentive care. As a bonus, I am fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate with even more pet parents in our community.
About: I have taken care of dogs of different breeds since I was 13. Friends and family have relied on me for walks, potty breaks, feeding, bathing, and training. I have properly trained my 4 year old German Shepherd. I love and adore pets and will treat your dog the way you and your family would. I currently work from home, so I am able to take care of your pet Sunday-Friday during all times of the day as long as I do not have a scheduled meetings. I am happy to discuss certain schedules if you decide to work with me! I do not offer services within my own home. I am happy to come into your home as needed to properly care for your pet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sterling
Mya was phenomenal! We went to the NASCAR roval and did not plan on it being as long of a day then it turned out to be. We booked Mya the night before (my husband and I travel the country full time). I was a little worried being that we usually stay in VRBO’s rather than hotels. However, mya put all those worries to rest! She sent pictures and my puppies were very happy when I came home!
