“Peyton did a great job dropping off to feed and entertain my 2 cats while I was gone. My place was kept clean and he spent the full 30 minutes with them at each visit.”


About: I grew up loving and caring for dogs since my first pup, Madison, when I was 14. I’m the proud human to my current dog, Callie, who is a 4 year old cockapoo. I often watch my friend’s dogs and work from home so I’m always around and able to go on multiple walks a day. I work from home in west Charlotte so your pup won’t be left alone. I’m also able to take multiple walks a day :) I have a large, shaded, fenced-in yard with plenty of room to play. My neighborhood has sidewalks and a park nearby (currently being updated but reopening soon)
“My little girl was taken care of and got to stretch her legs mid day! Definitely gave me so much peace of mind to have such a kind hearted person care for my best friend.”


“Alyssa was great with our cat squad! They were all instantly comfortable with her and she showed them all the love while we were away. We will definitely book with Alyssa again!”

“Mo was awesome! I needed a last minute sitter for the 4th of July holiday weekend, and Mo took the job quickly! Prompt communicator, punctual, and an amazing cat photographer, and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my baby was taken care of. I will definitely contact Mo next time I need a catsitter!”

“Alicia is an amazing pet sitter. She took care of my three kittens including my senior cat that is sick and we couldn't be more grateful for all of her help! We have a few special requests for him that can be a lot to ask and she did them without any issues! We will most definitely keep booking with her. I 100% recommend her service”

“Rachel sent us pictures of every visit, which made being away so much easier! She was flexible when we needed to make schedule adjustments, and has excellent communication! Definitely will have her watch our pups again!!”


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.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, including all throughout college, and have experience with everything from basic care to delivering medications to playtime to get out some energy! I trained two puppies myself and helped care for dogs through all life stages, including for my friends and family as well as my own. I have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to break free for midday walk-breaks, medication schedules, and feeding times, and have the ability to stay overnight to ensure no lonely pets! While I can’t currently have pets in my own home, I do have a dog park, know the greenways and walking paths of the area, and can also take care of pets in the comfort of their own home! Whatever your pets routine and comfort level is, I can adhere to!

“I highly recommend Kristin for sitting with and caring for your pet. She's personable, and I feel she went out of her way to be a friend to my cat while we were out of state. Long sits, even litter maintenance! Came home to a house in perfect condition and a happy pet. Daily updates had me believing they were old pals.”

“Megan was wonderful with our two boys. Prompt and on scheduled with drop in visits, which was comforting because my dog takes pills around the clock. Would highly recommend”


About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I grew up in a home where we regularly rescued dogs, so I learned from a young age how to care for animals with patience, love, and responsibility. Taking care of our pets was always a priority, and I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family I work full time, but my schedule is very flexible in the mornings and evenings, which allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for your dog. I’m able to provide walks, feeding, playtime, and attention before and after work to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I’m committed to being reliable and making sure your dog’s routine and needs are fully met. When caring for dogs in their own home, I make sure to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of attention to keep them happy while you’re away. I also make sure the home stays clean and that your dog feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their familiar environment.
“Katelyn was fantastic with Maddison! I am thankful for her great care and time she spent with her! I look forward to having her watch Maddie for any future trips.”
“5 ⭐️, maria was great. She was prompt, communication was good, everything was left neatly, & my two cats looked happy in the pictures she provided, which put my mind at ease. I would recommend 👍🏼👍🏼”
“Burgess was great! She was very friendly when we had our meet & greet and was great meeting my cats (it’s hard to find people who are good with cats). Due to one of my cats being on medication, she was great at being consistent with her drop-ins and my boys looked healthy and happy when I got home after being gone for 2 weeks. I’d definitely have Burgess take care of my boys again!”


About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover who understands that pets are family. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and comforting presence while you’re away, I’m committed to making them feel safe, loved, and happy. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I always make sure pet parents stay updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I’m comfortable with: Dogs of all sizes Cats and multi-pet homes Feeding routines and medications Walks, playtime, and enrichment Crate-trained pets Senior pets and shy animals I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I treat every animal like my own. My goal is to provide a stress-free, loving experience for both you and your furry family members. I have had dogs my entire life and currently have a 5 year old cat! I'm new to Rover and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I work part time in the medical field with the majority of my work on Thursdays and Fridays which leaves alot of flexibility on the other days! I will follow your needs and requests to ensure your pet is taken care of exactly how you wish! I am a very active person and would love to take your pet for walks!

About: I'm Kaili and I’m looking for some wagging tails to fill my schedule! I'm a huge dog lover and always have been - with over 15 years experience I'm able to give specialty care to all dogs of varying breeds and personalities. Depending on you and your doggo’s preferences, we can go for long walks or take it easy and lounge in the grass. I'm available for walks, potty-breaks, excercise/play time and/or over night stays! I have experience with overly timid or anxious pups that require patience and gentle attention. As well as extensive care with senior dogs, who also require extra attention in their old age. I’d love to get to know you and your dog and help keep them company in anyway needed! I have a dog of my own and often care for my sister’s dog as well so I’m very well versed and have a schedule down pat. I can be home on the weekends for dog sitting and ample walks around the neighborhood. I have an unfenced grassy area outside my home and live in a neighborhood where I walk my own dog all the time. It’s pretty quiet and low traffic, but there’s also the greenway nearby for a longer / more stimulating environment.
University Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
I could not have asked for a better person to watch my dogs. I have never had a person outside the family to look after them, nor have I given a person access to my home. I recommend Ruben 100% and will gladly call on him again. My dogs took to him on his first visit that assured me I made the best decision. Thank you so much Ruben, it meant so much to me that you made my dogs and I very comfortable.
We had a great experience using Rover, and Amanda was fantastic! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of our dog. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. We would absolutely book with Amanda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

Grace went above and beyond in caring for our (sometimes spicy) senior kitty, Hope. She came twice a day, was totally on top of everything, and kindly helped clean up when our cats stomach was getting upset (happens when we’re away). She also really understood how to work with our testy girl, to give her space, and let her come to you. We’re very grateful to have found such kind sitter nearby!

Serefina was wonderful with our 3 cats! They’re typically very shy around new people but she got them to come out on the first day and play. She sent lots of pics and we felt so happy that our cats loved her. Highly recommend for any your pet sitting needs!

Kathryn was absolutely amazing with my cat, Marty. This was the first time I ever left him with a Rover and she knew I was a nervous first-time Mom, ha. He was timid at first, but by the second day, he was roaming the apartment with her like a pro and playing with all of his toys and wands. She sent me daily updates, took sooo many pictures and videos (one photo was so good that it's now my phone backgroun!) and I could tell Marty truly loved her. Will absolutely be using Kathryn the next time I have to travel, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!

Ariane was great! We needed to leave our dogs in an Airbnb so we could go to a drs appt and it was going to be all day. She went twice and did exactly what we asked even wiping dogs paws off after coming in from the rain. If we need someone again in this area we would definitely use her again.

Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my two girls! 🐱 It’s clear they felt safe and happy with you. I really appreciated all the updates and fast communication which allowed me to relax knowing they were in great hands. Cristal went above and beyond! I would highly recommend Cristal to anyone looking for a cat sitter.
