“Shanna was excellent! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and works with them regularly which is a plus! She is an expert in dealing with dogs of all kinds and different temperaments. she takes them on long walks in the beautiful forest where she lives and has a beautiful home that is viable for dogs. She was very detailed in her daily reports of Remi and I was comforted to know that she was with somebody who knows what they are doing!!”

“My dogs have separation anxiety and they get really uncomfortable and sad when I’m gone. Rachel is the only person they will willingly go to overnight - Seriously! Including my friends and parents. My dogs are actually excited to see her and love going to her house. I am so grateful Rachel will keep them because I know they’re getting cuddles and love while I’m on vacation. She also has extensive experience, canine first aid/CPR certifications, dog training skills, and a giant backyard so it helps my stress level too. Thank you!! :)”

“Finding Brittany on Rover was truly a blessing. From the very first interaction, her energy felt calm, genuine, and loving and that carried through the entire experience. My dog Cali is 1 1/2 years old and a fairly large dog, and Brittany handled her with confidence, patience, and so much care. Cali absolutely adores her. Brittany treated Cali as if she were her own, creating a safe, nurturing, and very dog friendly environment. She kept me at ease by sending frequent pictures and videos, which showed just how happy, relaxed, and well cared for Cali was. Seeing that level of attentiveness brought so much peace to my spirit. What truly stood out was Brittany’s intentional care!! she didn’t just watch Cali, she connected with her. Taking her on runs, engaging her energy, and honoring her needs showed a deep understanding and respect for dogs. My overall experience was nothing short of beautiful. I am deeply grateful for Brittany and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who cares for dogs with love, presence, and heart. Cali will absolutely be returning. 🐾✨”
“Carrie was WONDERFUL from the beginning of my initial inquiry to the end of Minnie’s stay. Communication was prompt and clear, she sent lots of pics and videos to show how and what Minnie was doing, and she was gracious with my old dog’s quirks. Min needed special feeding, and is very anxious in new situations so requires some patience. Carrie provided that and more, and Min settled into her home nicely. I truly appreciated and enjoyed my interactions with Carrie and her husband, and felt 100% confident leaving my pampered pet in their home during my trip. This was my first experience using Rover to find care for Min, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience!”
“Angelique and her family are awesome! Gave Evita a wonderful greeting along with their fur baby Josie. I was given updates and photos daily. She was also Super accommodating with our schedule. Definitely recommend.”
“Wynde was an absolute joy to work with. She welcomed our anxious girl with open arms and made her feel so comfortable. Wynde sent pictures daily and updated us on things Rosie did with them. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Katherine and her family were so great with our Coconut. We were sent pictures and videos everyday, it was comforting to see our baby playing with her dogs and snuggling with her children. Coconut was definitely in the best of hands. THANK YOU so very much, Katherine and family (including, of course, the four legged family members).”

“Courtney B did a fabulous job looking after a very skiddish feral cat. She was able to work very well with the kitty and made sure food was available for her while I was out of town. I would certainly have Courtney help again!”
“Jennifer was wonderful! On the day of our meet and greet, she immediately started to gain trust and build a relationship with our cat. She did exactly what was asked to make sure he would be cared for during our time away and made sure to send a daily picture. While we were away, we had a semi- emergency affecting our home, and she was helpful in getting that taken care of, though that wasn't in the scope of her requirements. I'd definitely use Jennifer again, and I'm sure my kitty wouldn't mind either! Thank you so much Jennifer for allowing our kitty to stay in the comfort of his home while we were away.”
About: Hello! Currently I own 3 precious female cats myself! I rescued each of them when they were kittens and still actively work with a cat rescue local in my area! I have plenty of resource opportunities if needed as well because of that! I have owned cats since I was a child, and I’ve always loved observing each of their own unique personalities. Although many say dogs are a man’s best friend, I truly believe cats are equally as loyal, loving and caring!

“Morgan was phenomenal!! Not only did she work with me last minute with her having less than 1 hour notice but she went absolutely above and beyond to accommodate myself and my high maintence doberman - she saved me in a pinch and I could t be more grateful! Her hospitality and care was genuine and she was steps ahead of me for what I needed as she’s already experienced. I was traveling through St. Augustine and thank goodness she was available to work with me! Shocking bonus is my doberman was unusually calm with her when she’s typically uneasy with strangers the first time, she actually handled things very very well - says a lot!”

“I booked Nickeyias for doggy daycare and she took amazing care of my Bintley. He felt completely comfortable with her and her family from the start, and she treated him like he was part of her family. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoyed his day. I already scheduled his next visit — highly recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a little girl. I have experience bathing them, feeding them and walking them. I enjoy going for walks around the community so this would not be a problem. I have two children ages 8 and 9 and they would enjoy spending time with your dog(s). I was a teacher by training but now work from home and am flexible. I am originally from Boston, MA and relocated to Charlotte, NC in 2018. I live in the Pineville area and although I would have no problem meeting you in your home, it would be better to meet me instead. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s) or cat(s). I currently work from from home so walking your dog every 3-4 hours is feasible with my schedule. I look forward to meeting your fury friend! I can also provide basic grooming such as a bath or brushing if needed for an additional fee. I look forward to caring for your fur baby!
“I had a great experience with LeNai. She was thorough during the intake, giving me a full tour and taking the time to get to know my dogs and their individual quirks. Rocko can be an anxious dog, but she took it in stride and was very patient with him. She gradually introduced him to other dogs safely and calmly, and was able to pick up on behavioral cues very well. She sent many photos and videos throughout the day to let me know they were doing well. I will most definitely use her services again.”
“Debora was absolutely amazing! She sent photos and little updates to let me know that Bourbon was doing great throughout the day. Bourbon had such a great time he passed out when he got home. I would 100% recommend Debora and her beautiful home to anyone looking for a little help with their fur baby.”
“Kate was amazing! She was able to get us in last minute and my dog absolutely loved her (she sent pics of the puppy kisses). My dog came home happy (Kate even brought her home!) And tired from all her adventures. I was so nervous to leave my pupper with someone new, but Kate sent lots of pictures and my dog was clearly comfortable with her! Will absolutely use her again!”

About: For the past 4 years, I’ve provided loving, dependable care for cats, dogs, and birds through overnight stays, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and walks. Cats are my specialty! I’m very experienced with feline behavior, shy cats and multi-cat households. I love making pets feel calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and routines, including daily walks, companionship, and overnight care. In addition, I have hands on experience with tropical birds and understand the importance of patience, consistency and attention to detail when caring for exotic pets. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every animal! I take my time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I am reliable, communicative, and committed to making pet parents feel confident while they’re away through regular updates and attentive care. I am currently a part-time worker at a local pharmacy and a Full-Time college student looking to make extra money while doing what I love. I am free at least 3-4 days a week, the more notice the better I can work around your preferred schedule. My preference is afternoons, however if mornings or nights are needed I can accommodate! I am more free during week days but can make time on weekends around my work schedule as I typically only work 5-6 hour shifts. I currently can not offer my personal living quarters for care, however I am able to travel up to 40 miles to stay with or check on pets. If you are in need of someone urgently and live outside a 40 mile radius please message me directly and I may be able to still work with you! I will walk, feed, stay with, play with and care for various cats and dog breeds! I also have experience with tropical birds and fish if need be. I will clean up after all animals and leave your home tidy and neat, as well as provide updates at your desired time span i.e (Daily, Hourly, Etc.).
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life from my own pets to pets of friends and family, which includes being responsible for them from time to time. I’ve even had prior experience staying overnight and caring for animals that include dogs, cats, and chickens. I am a full time student in law school so my schedule depends on my classes and my school obligations for the week. However, I try hard to manage all bookings I get if the owners are willing to be flexible with times! I can care for your pet by walking them, playing with them, feeding them, hugging them, grooming them, and even staying with them overnight if that makes them more comfortable while you are away.

My husband and myself have bought an RV and we live in it in a campground but we do have yard space and lots of space for walking your loved ones.

I love dogs of all kinds and of all ages. I can sit them in their own surroundings in their home or at my home. I can provide you with a reference if you would like. Dogs mean so much to me and I love to show them all the loving they need. I in NO way believe in animal cruelty, it is not in no way tolerated!! Pick me and you won't be sorry. I don't work outside the home so I'll have plenty of time to play with your baby which is right down my alley. I love animals! I can let your pet roam in my home if that is what they are used to and that won't bother me. I can also crate your pet if need be but only if you instruct me to do so. I also have a small fenced area for them to roam.

Raised chicken and ducks along with having three cats of my own and a senior dog I have a wide open schedule and free weekends almost every week . I make time for my animals and give them the bestest of care . I have plenty of space for running around and going on walks . Inside of my home is completely cat proof as I have three myself .
About: I love dogs and have enjoyed working with them in many capacities since I was a child and formally for over 15 years. I am a Canine Good Citizen evaluator and have spent years training loving companions. I am certified in Canine CPR and First Aid by the American Red Cross and undergo annual recertifications to stay current on the latest first-aid procedures. I also have experience administering both oral medications and injections. Before your pups stay, we have each family fill out a form for their furry companion. This helps us get to know them better in order to make their stay easier. I have no breed preference and are familiar with handling working canines. Your pup is welcome in our home, and our couch is open to your furry pooch. However, I also understand there are dogs who prefer to be outside and are not easily accommodated indoors. I also have covered outdoor runs for those families who still need a vacation but whose pups enjoy more fresh air and natural surroundings. I am happy to accommodate each family's preference. No matter what, canines are treated to lots of exercise and playtime. I wake up and start the day off with morning let out. After each group has been let we come back in for feeding. Morning feedings normally allow for 30-45 minutes before letting out again for a potty break. They are brought back in, crated, and pups are rotated out for play inside throughout the day. I let out every 2-4 hours through the day or more if needed. I do have the option to add on trail walks for those who have social canines who are good with other dogs and people (I will not be introducing them to others but it is a requirement to the trail). In the evening we normally do the last feeding at 7 pm followed by yard play and starting to settle in. Last potty break is at 10 pm. Note: Although I am at home full time I do on occasion leave our home to run errands. Your dog can be left alone for up to 4 hours (max). If this is ever the case your pup will always be crated and secure. For your pup's safety They are never given free rein while unsupervised. I take the safety of your furry companion very seriously. Canines are let out for potty breaks every 2-4 hours (or as needed, if required more frequently). I have a fenced-in yard so your pup will be safe during potty breaks. I do not allow companions from other families to play with each other. This is a safety measure. Your pup can be under a lot of stress when you're gone and I want to make their stay as smooth and relaxing as possible. This doesn't mean I will not be playing with your pup ourselves! I love playing fetch, puzzle games, and even tug with them. I do allow for several outings in the house throughout the day so they can get plenty of one-on-one attention inside as well as extra pets. I have 5 acres that are attached to the national preserve. If your furry companion is social and enjoys walks, I have several trails I am happy to take them on upon request (weather permitting). All outings are on leash only.
About: My family has always had pets growing up that I always cared for, including big dogs (St.Bernard), cats, turtles, and fish. My girlfriend and I now have a 2 year old lab golden retriever mix who is our absolute world. I love pets of all sizes and I like to stay active, so I figured why not combine these two loves! I currently run my own business but have the ability to leave when necessary but I will schedule around perfectly if I have enough warning I love animals and I am very patient with them as I know most of the time they are just excited to see new people

“Finding Brittany on Rover was truly a blessing. From the very first interaction, her energy felt calm, genuine, and loving and that carried through the entire experience. My dog Cali is 1 1/2 years old and a fairly large dog, and Brittany handled her with confidence, patience, and so much care. Cali absolutely adores her. Brittany treated Cali as if she were her own, creating a safe, nurturing, and very dog friendly environment. She kept me at ease by sending frequent pictures and videos, which showed just how happy, relaxed, and well cared for Cali was. Seeing that level of attentiveness brought so much peace to my spirit. What truly stood out was Brittany’s intentional care!! she didn’t just watch Cali, she connected with her. Taking her on runs, engaging her energy, and honoring her needs showed a deep understanding and respect for dogs. My overall experience was nothing short of beautiful. I am deeply grateful for Brittany and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who cares for dogs with love, presence, and heart. Cali will absolutely be returning. 🐾✨”
