About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have spent the last 9 years pet sitting for friends and family. I also worked in pet stores for a while, so I’ve cared for all animals. I’m a student over at UNCC, so I’m in the University City area pretty much 24/7. When I’m watching your pet, I treat them like my own. I’m super careful about making sure harnesses are secure on walks and staying on top of feeding times or meds. You’ll definitely get a ton of photo updates from me while you're away so you know they’re doing okay! I am currently on summer break so I am open to whenever you need me. I have a car so I am able to drive as well. I have plenty of experience with all animals. I have been pet sitting for years as well as worked at pet stores and handled pet care so I have experience with all types of animals.
“Dominique was an outstanding sitter for my pup Ranna! Not only is she highly experienced with sitting dogs that have very specific personalities and needs, she’s extremely responsive and always provides me with timely updates and cute pictures of Ranna while I was away. I’m thrilled to have a great sitter to lean on when I need someone to watch my pup.”
About: I’ve pet sit for family, friends, and neighbors for years (Up to 5-6 dogs at a time), I also have 3 dogs and a cat with my family, one of which is elderly. I’ve had experience caring for elderly dogs/cats on medication and puppies. I value high-quality service and transparency especially with our pets! I am a college student with a part time job, but with classes I’m very open in the mornings & available midday. Week day nights might vary but more details can/will be provided. Available at any time on weekends. I always try to build a relationship with the pets I am caring for, I also try to provide as many updates and send pictures possible for clients so they know their pet is being loved and spoiled. If there were ever a concern in terms of behavior or medical emergency, client can expect the most immediate communication.
“Breana did a great job house sitting for our animals. The animals were well taken care of and she left our house neater than she found it. I also really appreciated the daily updates and photos she sent.”
“Hannah was a fabulous sitter. She stayed overnight with our girl. Hannah was very communicative and let us know what was going on with our girl. She left us a sweet card and a toy for Kat. We will definitely be using her again”
“Logan was so great with our dogs and we would definitely book him again! One of them has resource guarding issues and Logan was confident in handling any aggression that might come up. He spent tons of time with them, walked them and played outside a bunch too. He asked how much communication / how often we wanted updates and sent tons of great pictures. He even printed out a few for us to have for frames, which was so thoughtful and sweet! I could tell our dogs had a great time with him and I felt great about having him there watching them. Logan also made sure to ask questions during the meet and greet and made me feel confident that he could handle any issues and that he cared for my dogs. I would definitely recommend him to others!”
“Ethan was absolutely amazing with our anxious English Bulldog for overnight dog sitting! He took the time (and multiple visits) for George to become totally comfortable! He was excellent and very knowledgeable about dogs and their personality quirks! 10/10 will be booking him again!”
“Jeffrey was so great taking care of our dog, we got morning pictures and I felt so relieved we had him to watch Pete! He was also a super respectful house guest and helped us with some packages that came through. Can’t recommend Jeffrey enough!”
“Very thankful for Jeffrey and his help watching our 2 dogs! They are rambunctious, so I know his hands were full. But he did a wonderful job and they loved him.”
“Chelsea did an amazing job with Winnie. I know how excited Winnie can be when meeting new people and Chelsea handled it very well. Thank you! I will be booking again.”
“Jordan was absolutely phenomenal. I'm picky about who I leave my dogs with but I had no worries with Jordan. She's so warm and caring and treated my boys as her own. She made sure ask questions to understand their routine and their complicated feeding which made me feel confident that they would be well taken care of. She sent me lots of cute pictures and videos of them which made me miss them a tiny bit less while I was gone. As a person, she comes across as responsible, hard working, kind, and incredibly friendly. My dogs took to her immediately during the meet and greet. I will definitely be booking with her again! Can't say enough good things!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was 14 and I’ve loved it ever since! I can’t wait to be your fur babies new trustworthy companion! I’m currently a student and working part time so I’ll make as much free time as needed for your fur babies but please feel free to reach out for my weekly availability! I live in an apartment with my 2 year old dog she’s very shy but friendly and we have a fenced dog park and we live right next to the Mallard Creek greenway which is perfect for going on nature walks!
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and respect I give every pet and home. I’ve been pet sitting and house sitting for several years, caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and routines. I genuinely love animals and take their wellbeing seriously — I’m attentive to changes in behavior, energy, or appetite and always prioritize their comfort and safety. I’m especially mindful of maintaining each pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, medications, or quiet companionship. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and understand the patience and gentleness they require. I also take pride in being reliable, communicative, and treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is for you to feel complete peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for with kindness, consistency, and genuine love while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I work primarily remote with reliable WiFi, but also must visit the office for only a couple of hours a day, 3 days per week. Working remotely allows me to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a flexible part-time job with shifts up to four hours (up to five hours total including travel time). However, my schedule is adjustable, and I’m usually able to move or release shifts when needed — especially for pets who require more frequent care. I’m mindful of how long pets are left alone and plan my schedule carefully to prioritize their comfort and routine. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can remain in their familiar, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate preferences, and any household rules — to keep things consistent and stress-free. Safety is always a priority. I’m attentive during walks, mindful of secure doors and gates, and careful about food, treats, and household hazards. I also pay close attention to behavior changes and will communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. I treat every home with the utmost respect — keeping spaces clean, tidy, and secure while you’re away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and comfortable.
About: My personal exposure to pets ranges from 3 large dogs to 2 cats of very different personalities! My sweet dog, Ruby, was adopted when she was 1 month old and has been my best friend for 11 years. She is a Heeler (high energy, I know!), which means I know the importance of attention and exercise for high energy animals. Since I have raised her from her little years, puppies are not a struggle for me! I know the importance of attention and careful care to ensure the little ones don't hurt themselves, others or destroy anything in their wake. My previous pets have lived long happy lives, with their senior years giving me amazing skills when caring for friends, family and other client's senior pets. Due to my personal experiences with a senior pet, I know the importance of their schedule and care. But also the fear felt by pet owners when leaving their sweet senior in the hands of a stranger. So regardless of if they are little babies, in the prime of their life or old and wise, I will take care of your pet like its my own till you return! I am currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule. Since I have open availability, what you need for your pet is my priority. I can do whatever your pet needs! I have stayed at clients homes previously, both after our initial visit as well as neighbors. Like my care with your pet, treating your space with only respect and care is my priority. Along with caring for your pet, I will take great care of your space regardless if I am staying there or just visiting during your time away. Also, if you have plants that need care... I am happy to see to them as well! I am a plant parent too!
“Annslee was amazing! She sent photos of our girls while we were gone, checked in when needed and left our house cleaner than it was when she arrived. I would highly recommend her and we hope to use her again soon!”
“Chantara did a wonderful job housesitting my 3 dogs (2 large and one small) for a long weekend. She took them all for multiple walks a day and sent me many pics and videos and updates each day. I felt totally relaxed being away from my babies! She left the house immaculate as well.”
University City North pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nina was absolutely incredible! We have three dogs that we love like children, and leaving them for two weeks was so scary. But not with Nina watching them! She was so communicative, punctual, and so so sweet! We got plenty of pictures and updates throughout our trip and came home to three happy pups. They say dogs have a great judge of character, and all three dogs loved her the second our meet and greet started. Even my slower to trust dog swooned immediately. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter, and the peace of mind we felt with her watching our dogs was priceless. Nina is the best!!
Kayla watched my 12 week old Shih Tzu. She did such an amazing job with her. I was nervous about leaving my puppy for a few days but Kayla quickly eased my concerns when we had the meet and greet. She also kept the house very clean. I will be booking Kayla again.
Jessi was amazing! She asked lots of questions during the meet and great and provided excellent care for my two girls ! She was able to house sit so it made it that much easier on my girls and their anxiety. Jessi provided me with many updates and pictures throughout the weekend and kept in touch. Jessi was awesome ! Highly recommend!
My dogs were well cared for while I was away. I very much appreciated Macallan's ability to deal with an unexpected issue of a critter getting into the yard and under the deck and my younger dog trying to get under there with it. He was very communicative of what had happened and how he dealt with it as well as keeping me well informed of the dogs medicines etc.
We LOOOOVE Kalyn!!!! She was one of the best pet sitters we have ever had. She was loving and caring towards our pets and treated them like her own. she gave us consistent updates throughout the week and they always were so happy. She took wonderful care of our home as well. the pets and I can’t wait to have her back in the future 🐶💓
Ashly was great and sent me so many pictures daily, I have 2 dogs of very different ages and one who is extremely timid. Took a while for him to warm up but he eventually came around. We were gone for a whole week and this was the longest we’ve ever left them & our first time using rover. Od highly recommend Ashly!
