“Maria did wonderful walking and playing with my sweet girl! I have a senior pet and she was very easily able to adapt with her to fit her needs. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”

“Kelly is exactly what we hoped to find when looking for a dog sitter. She is responsible, good communicator, keeping us in loop with timing/coming and goings, sending pics and letting us know how things are going when we are away, good with our fur babies, and kept our home in good shape while we were gone. Kelly is awesome!”

“This was our first experience we had working with a dog walker . Rachel absolutely loves dogs. She happily met with us a couple of times for a meet and greet. Once at her house and once at ours. We loved that she sent pictures, showed us the walking route, and gave us a doggie report after each walk. The days she was scheduled to walk were hot and her flexibility to come earlier than planned was highly appreciated. We will certainly use Rachel again.”

“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’ve been taking care of both cats and dogs since I was 10! I’ve had both cats and dogs throughout their lifetime but unfortunately a pet of my own is not conducive to my current lifestyle, which is why I came to Rover to hang out with your amazing pets! I am extremely reliable for walking, feeding, exercising, or anything else your furry friend may need! I am new to the Charlotte area and hoping to get a dog of my own in the future. I currently have a lot of free time and would love to explore the city with a furry friend! I am willing to care for pets in their everyday home and fulfill housekeeping/other needs that may be necessary. I am also extremely experienced with houseplants and available to care for plants while pet sitting in-home.
“Kelly is the best! She’s on time and reliable. Our dog loves his walks with Kelly. She goes above and beyond. Great with our elderly kitty as well. We will be booking Kelly again!!”
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.

“Jasmine has walked my 1 year old dog for the past month! I'd highly recommend her to other dog owners. She's done a great job (i.e., arriving on time, helping redirect him on walks when needed, sending plenty of updates, etc.). She even remembers to give treats / turn on background noise for him if I forget to when I leave. Jasmine's been a great dog walker and is so kind - looking forward to having Jasmine continue to walk my dog!”

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.
“Stephen was so incredible good with my pups! I liked getting feedback after every walk on behavior and their eating. The pups look like they enjoyed themselves tremendously! Will book with Stephen again”

About: I’ve taken care of different kinds of animals since I could remember! I currently have a cat and rabbit of my own who are 4 and 10 years old (I know, pretty old for a rabbit!!) ! I’ve taken care of multiple family, friends, and neighbors dogs/cats/small pets for the past 3 years as a side hustle while I’m in college, and I try to meet my animals as often as I can between classes. I strive to be as reliable as I can for my furry friends and aim to be more experienced by the end of the year! I currently have open availability for all your furry friends and would love to be booked by you! I just got out of school and have extra time on my hands! I am happy to follow any requests given by the owner! Clear instructions are very helpful and will allow me to take the very best care of your pet!

“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: My experience is marked by personal and professional work with animals. I was the team lead overseeing operations at a dog care facility for two and a half years, where I worked firsthand with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperments in group play, one on one enrichment, and individual training sessions. I specialize in caring for reactive and behaviorally challenged dogs, particularly rescues. I am capable of administering medication in any oral fashion including gentle pilling, as well as supportive training, senior care, and providing baths (including curly fur types) and nail trims. I have a varied job schedule that provides sporadic extended free time, especially during the summer. I accept pet care clients based on my availability, so I am available for week-of bookings and advanced bookings. When visiting pets, I recognize that I am in their home and act accordingly. Prior to a visit, I make every effort to understand your pet's daily routine so that I can provide a stable, familiar routine while visiting. Additionally, I make bonding a top priority, and take time to get to know each pet I work with so that I can provide individualized care and work to become a trusted person on their terms.
University Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover and Anvesha was amazing! She exceeded my expectations. She’s passionate about dogs and is willing to go above and beyond for the well being of my dog. She was great at communicating which made this experience less anxious for me. We got so lucky with her! Thank you, i genuinely appreciate you Anvesha!

Amanda is great and super communicative. She was also able to accommodate a last minute walk for Finley which gave me peace of mind while I was away from home. I have already booked my next visit with Amanda and will definitely be using her services in the future!

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.
