“Lindsey was amazing with my pup!! She kept me well informed about their walk & was so sweet when pre-meeting him. Definitely going to continue to use her services!”
About: I have cared for family, friends, and neighbors' pets since childhood. I have experience walking, feeding, training, and giving lots of love to dogs and cats. I am responsible, communicative, and mindful of your pet's needs. I like to be active, so there can be lots of walks in your pet's future, but I also enjoy cuddling up on the couch if your pet prefers to lounge around. I work remotely and full-time, with fairly flexible hours (occasionally going into a coworking space when not pet-sitting). I am in Charlotte most weekends as well. I enjoy taking short breaks throughout the day to walk, play, or cuddle with any fur baby. I live in a townhome community with a green space and next to a neighborhood with great walking paths. Overall it is a very pet friendly area. I live in a three bedroom/three story townhome with room for your pet to stretch out and relax in a calm and peaceful environment. My unit is very well sound-proofed, with no excessive noise from neighbors or other pets. I am happy to send pictures of the green space and townhome upon request.
“Maria really goes above and beyond with communication, care, and cute photos!! She is a lifesaver and always makes sure my dog has everything she needs to be comfortable after her walks!! She’s also been super great with keeping consistency with walk training which is a huge help!”
“I had such a great experience! One of my dogs is usually very shy around new people, but she was so gentle and patient with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog walker, and I plan on reaching out again if I need help in the future!”
“Thank you, Mary for everything. I appreciate it. Yeah she could just leave those collars on. Makes things a little bit easier and it’s all right that she didn’t eat. She’ll just eat when I get home. I appreciate everything you’ve done. I’m happy that she was excited at first and eventually calm down and yes, there was a situation with skateboards the last time I took her down to the end of Philemon towards 36th St. and it scared the crap out of her so now I have to work on inch and her down there again so I am I know what you’re talking about. Yeah she’ll get to a certain point and wanna come home and that’s fine. That’s fine when when she’s with you again I appreciate it and thank you so much and now you didn’t need to put the water in especially if like you said she drank a sufficient amount so I will see you while she will see you tomorrow lol thank you so much.”
About: I have been pet owners for years & there’s nothing I love more than spending time with animals. I love to take walks to the dog park & have a good game of fetch. I also take pictures of pets that I taken care of before so let me know if that’s something you would like. I currently work from home so I spend all day with my pets. My job lets me be able to still take my dog on multiple walks a day, have play time, go to the park & more. The play area is fenced in, I can easily crate your dog if needed. In my home I can provide everything your pet needs like if it was their own home and vice versa.
About: Hi my name is Katelyn but I go by Nova! I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 8 years old and can’t imagine not having one with me. I now have just 2 cats and a bully mix. I’ve taken care of mainly herding mixes so I can safely say that dogs that are “a lot of dog “ are my specialty. Positive reinforcement based Training has also been a special interest of mine for a few years now and so I’m quite knowledgeable on that subject as well! I work full time pet sitting and dog walking! Because of this I’m pretty much always available to care for or walk your fur baby! I will care for your animals with the utmost care, responsibility, safety, and detail as if they were my own. I’m unable to provide boarding services at the moment but I still do pet sitting!
“Hi Anthony-I appreciated you being available in short notice. And I’m grateful for the time you gave on Friday. I am going to cancel the bookings for this week though because the extra dog fee was more than I am used to paying for a 30 minute walk. It has nothing to do with you - you were great.”
“To say that Rachel will go the extra mile is an understatement! We left and forgot to double check our key box to make sure she could get in. She troubleshot the situation and made sure Freya & Zeke were cared for. She gave them lots of love and extra long walks. So thankful for her! Highly recommend Rachel!!”
“Rachel is absolutely amazing!!! she's sent numerous pictures and gave Emma tons of love. We are looking forward to working with her again. We highly recommended Rachel”
About: I’ve raised and rescued animals my whole life. I’ve had animals from dogs and cats. A lot of my education with animals has come from working at a vet clinic as a vet assistant. I will take care of your fur baby as if they were my own. I available 3x a day for your pet on weekdays and depending on the week I will be available on weekends. I’m pretty flexible with times you need me to visit your pet. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. Ill will give plenty of play time, exercise, feeding, watering, and monitor your pet.
About: Howdy! I am a Texas A&M alum and proud dog mom of 2 little angels. I have had a passion for animals since I was a child, and am so excited to meet your four-legged friends! I have lots of experience caring for pets for friends and family, and recently fostered as well. I am extremely patient, loving, and excited to help care for your dogs! I am also an avid runner, so I would be happy to take your dog for a jog. **I live in an apartment, so I do NOT have a fenced in backyard** I work from home! I am happy to come and hangout with your dog while I work, and I have lots of flexibility to focus on your pet’s schedule! I have experience working with both large and small dogs, of all attitudes and breeds! My own dog was rescued, so I am comfortable with helping anxious pups as well.
“Tre has become like family. He is always available to take care of Dax when I need and treats him as if he was his own. He’s very personable, responsible, reliable, accommodating to my crazy schedule and he will definitely continue to be my go-to.”
About: I had my baby for 10 and a half years and still miss him every day. I’m not ready to get another baby, but I’d love to provide trustworthy care for yours. I work from home, so I can do potty breaks and give medications as needed. Without any other pets or people in my home, I can provide all the needs of your dog(s). I work from home during the week, so I’ll be able to work around needed schedules. It is possible for me to be gone on certain days for 4-8 hours. I’ll do my best to take care of your baby / babies as you would. I had my 125 pound baby in an apartment, so I understand the need for multiple walks and finding places they can run. Pets are welcome on any furniture in my home.
About: I am a loving and caring person who believes dogs are better then humans, I love to play with them all day, or as long as I can, and give them all the love and care in the world. I am super friendly, and am willing to have a flexible schedule. I am a avid dog owner myself, and have been since the day I was born, I've lived with all types of dogs, from big to small, as well as high energy to no energy. Im am ready for anything! Dogs are what make me happy in life, and I love to see them happy and healthy as well. I will take great care of your animals as I would take care of my own.
University Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tracy is awesome! We connected super quickly as we needed a sitter since my boyfriend recently started working a new job! Within a day, Tracy had offered to meet our puppy so we could all get acquainted, and showed up to walk her just a few days later. She also leaves amazing notes every walk so we know what our girl was up to (which is amazing) and sends us pics/videos! I would highly recommend Tracy!!! :)
Ariane received a key to my apartment day one of our first visit, I was confident in her ability’s to take great care of my dog. She was on point, professional,communicative, and attentive to detail. I was very impressed with all the questions asked and care and thought into making sure all bases were covered. My dog loves her and I receive the happiest of photos! I will continue using Ariane in comfort knowing I’m receiving the best care for my dog for his lunch walks!
Alix was amazing! Finny absolutely loved Alix! Alix was always on time everyday to pickup Finny and let him out. She brought him all over town on his daily walks which he loves. I would highly recommend recommend Alix for any Rover service! We will absolutely be booking Alix again.
Hope was incredible with our little one! We traveled over the holiday and were a little worried as this was the first time we would be away during the Christmas holiday. Hope was consistent in communication and sent the best pictures. We highly recommend booking with Hope!!
Abby is amazing with our senior rescue greyhound. She cares about him so much and is incredibly patient with his quirks. She’s always 200% reliable, and always communicates as to how he’s doing when watching him. He loves her and always looks forward to seeing her! We have zero worries when Abby is with him.
