About: I've always loved all dogs! My first love was our family dog who lived till age 17 and now I have a dog of my own that I've been caring for since 2021. Friends have trusted me to dog sit for them and I've cared for them as if they were my own. I'm very attentive and responsible so I'll follow any instructions you have for your furry friend. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility. I have a spacious fenced partly shaded backyard where your fur baby can play as well as space inside my house too for those hot Charlotte days. I also enjoy going on long walks in the neighborhood once or twice a day with my dog but I can alternate and take yours if you wish me to. I'm home for the majority of the day so I'm able to feed your pet at whichever time you want me to as many times as you wish. I'm also able to provide play time outside or go on walks with your fur baby.
About: Hi, I'm Caprielle, and I've been a dedicated pet lover my whole life! Growing up, I've been caring for dogs since I was a little girl . My experience isn't just about feeding and walking; I offer a comprehensive approach to pet care. I understand that each pet is unique, and I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. What sets me apart? I have experience with senior dogs, providing care for puppies, administering medications, and ensuring they are comfortable and happy. I'm patient, reliable, and committed to providing a safe and loving environment for your pets. I'm passionate about building strong bonds with the animals in my care, ensuring they feel secure and loved while you're away. I am also comfortable with cats and other small pets. I am currently working part time so I will be available to take care of your pet! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to pet sit. I take very good care of the animals and their space. Respect is a top priority for me and your home and your animal is safe with me!
“Alex was on time and Mia was very happy to go out and have a mid day walk. Mia and Alex bonded right away and was so excited to see Alex. Couldn't have asked for anything better!! I highly recommend Alex and will use her again.”
“Jai was amazing! From the time she came for the meet & greet, Kodak loved her! She was prompt and had great communication. This was my first time leaving Kodak alone and he was a bit depressed and didn’t eat so he vomited a little. I noticed Jai cleaned it up when she didn’t have to and that was greatly appreciated. This was my first time using Rover and Jai made it a great first experience, I will be booking again!”
“Tara was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Tango! As first-time users of the Rover app, I was initially a bit nervous about letting someone into my home—especially with a highly anxious pup. But Tara put us at ease right away. She responded quickly, came by the same day to meet me, and was incredibly punctual and attentive to all of my requests. Thanks to her, my first Rover experience was seamless. Thank you Tara!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds since I was 15, with friends, family, and neighbors depending on me to caretake their furry friends when they were out of town. Because I love dogs so much, I also have one myself! Roxie is a black lab that is incredibly fun. Just like I do with Roxie, I will spend time playing with, watering, walking, and feeding your pet(s) when you need some help. Looking forward to meeting your best friend soon and treating them like they’re my own while you’re away! During the day, I work as a financial advisor and have a fairly flexible schedule with autonomy over my day. I am completely available in the mornings and evenings and available throughout the day on the weekend with optional flexibility for lunch-time check-ins during weekdays. Any time I enter someone’s home to dog sit or house sit, I treat their space like it is my own home. I will follow whatever instructions are provided and my goal is to leave your space exactly as you left it…minus having an even more happy pup to greet you when you come home!
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with a calm, caring nature. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just some cozy couch time, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your furry family member, so I always go the extra mile to provide updates, photos, and peace of mind. Puppies are welcomed!

I’ll follow your care instructions closely, whether it’s meals, walks, medications, or bedtime rituals. So your pup stays happy and stress-free.

“Marissa was amazing with our pup! We had just moved into a new home and didn’t have our fence set up yet, so leaving him alone during the day wasn’t an option. Marissa gave us total peace of mind while we were at work—super reliable, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. Highly recommend!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to follow your pet’s unique routine—whether that means daily walks, medication, or quiet companionship. I’m working toward becoming a certified dog trainer, I approach every pet with patience and curiosity. I care deeply about understanding each animal’s individual behavior, needs, and personality, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently taking summer classes remotely and working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and am available at various times throughout the day. I’m home for the summer and primarily serve Trinity and surrounding areas. During the school year, I attend college in Charlotte and offer pet care services in that area as well. I also have a senior golden retriever who keeps me on my toes with regular walks and fresh air breaks, so I understand the importance of consistent routines and attentive care.

“I had the pleasure of entrusting my furry friend to the care of Candelaria and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. She is not only a sweet and caring dog owner herself, but her own dog is a perfect example of how well she cares for animals. I felt completely at ease knowing that my dog was in such capable hands. It's hard to find someone who truly loves dogs and treats them like family, but Candelaria is definitely one of those people. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter.”

Haley S.
“I booked Haley to take care of my dog Boots while I had a busy weekend, and I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Boots is an older dog and can be a little picky with new people, but he warmed up to her so quickly. She was super gentle and patient with him, which I really appreciated. She took him on nice walks, gave him tons of love, and made sure he stayed comfortable the whole time. I got sweet updates and pictures that showed just how happy. It was clear Haley treated him like he was her own. What I really loved was how attentive and thoughtful she was, especially knowing Boots is older and not as high energy as he used to be. She matched his pace, understood his little quirks, and made sure he felt safe and cared for. By the time I picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a great time. I felt completely at ease leaving him with her, and that peace of mind is priceless. I’ll absolutely be booking with Haley again.I know Boots will be excited to see her next time!”
