“I’ve had Lora watch my six month old kitten twice now & she is absolutely amazing! She sends pictures and updates on what they are doing throughout the day which is so fun to see - Arthur definitely loves his time with her! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“This was my first time using rover. I am so pleased with Amanda and David. They are great people. I knew as soon as I left that my dog would be in good hands. They sent lots of pictures and updates. I could not imagine finding anyone better.”
“Hannah is the best! This was my first time using a Rover and my puppy is only a year old so I was extra nervous about using a service for the first time, but I’m so happy I did because we found Hannah! My puppy was so well taken care of and I got regular updates and photos from Hannah which made me so happy and feel more at ease. I’ve already rebooked her to take care of my little girl again! Thank you, Hannah! 😊”
“Hunter was very respectful and willing to help out with my pup if he suffered from seizures. Although none occurred, she was reviewing all the notes to make sure she was ready. I am grateful to her willingness to make sure my pup was well cared for. Would book again!”
“Samantha was awesome! She was extremely communicative, gave constant updates and made me feel at ease. I was traveling from another state and was nervous to leave Kam but he had a ball and was extremely comfortable with her! Will definitely book her anytime I visit in the future. Can’t say thank you enough”
“Cullen was great! Very quick to respond & I received lots of updates and pictures of my dog - it was clear my dog felt comfortable and got lots of cuddles! Couldn’t ask for anything else!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I started with my family dog and then moved on to caring for family members and friends pets when needed. In college, my roommates and I fostered a puppy my senior year so I have experience with dogs of all ages. My family rescued older dogs so I am also comfortable with medication administration. My sisters dog who I take care of often is afraid of other dogs, so I am very comfortable with dogs who prefer to not interact with other animals. I have less experience with cats, only with spending time with my friends pets, but love all animals and would love to spend time with your pet! I’m currently waiting for my job to start so as of now I have a ton of flexibility! I am new to the area and have enjoyed getting to know Charlotte through walks, and what better way to explore than with a dog! I live in an apartment with my own room and do not have any other pets. I can crate your dog or am comfortable with letting them on my bed as long as they are house trained.
“Yenny already feels like family. She took such amazing care of our two doggies. She brought them everywhere with her and sent multiple pictures of them having fun together. Our puppies loved her and we will be using her anytime we go away now. ❤️”
“Isabella kindly agreed to keep Gus overnight on very short notice, and we really appreciated her flexibility. It gave us peace of mind knowing that Gus was in good hands while we traveled to visit a terminally ill family member. We are grateful for her care and can highly recommend her.”
“Danielle was fantastic! I had great peace of mind leaving my dog with her for a long weekend while I was out of town. She sent lots of pictures, was very responsive, and clearly cared for my pup very well!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better host for our pup, Chloe! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. Daniel sent wonderful updates and pictures time to time, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Kids were always happy to see her updates. Chloe had the best time playing with their two dogs and made good friends, Arlo and Deebo—they were friendly and welcoming to her from the start! She came home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. We are already looking forward to booking with them again!”
“Tiffany was awesome! We ended up doing a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure Milo would be ok with her boyfriend, and she asked thoughtful questions about desired communication frequency, Milo’s habits, etc. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Phil so was caring and attentive to our dog! We felt very comfortable and safe leaving our dog with him. He gave frequent updates, will definitely use him again!”
“Precious was fantastic! Communication was seamless, and loved receiving regular updates and photos/videos which gave me total peace of mind. I returned home to a very happy, relaxed pup. Precious is trustworthy, caring, and professional. I'd absolutely book again!”
“We have a somewhat neurotic corgi and both Kristine and her mother Snow were very understanding and patient about her special needs. Kristine was traveling so Snow watched our pup for 3 days and I felt that she genuinely cared for her wellbeing, showed her love and that she was safe while we were away. I would have liked a few more updates, but Snow sent enough that I did know how she was doing and that she was OK.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Hanaa took such wonderful care of Rubi and truly treated her like she was her own. She was attentive, caring, dependable, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Rubi in her care. It was clear how much she genuinely loves animals, which gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup! I would absolutely recommend Hanaa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet.”
“Megan is nothing short of fantastic! Nova adored her and Megan clearly enjoyed Nova. She sent plenty of updates, gave Nova plenty of attention, and is overall a very nice person! 10/10 would refer her to other dog owners and friends.”

“Kathryn was so awesome to my kittens and went above and beyond what was requested. She took extra good care of them especially since they're very young and made sure they were well fed and spent a lot of time playing with them and looking after them. My kitties and I were very happy and will definitely book her again. She was also super good with communication and responded to me very quickly every time which definitely put me at ease ?”

“Hilda was amazing, she made our trip away from our cat so much easier. Very friendly and communicative. Will definitely book her again for our future cat sitting needs!”
“Christian is an amazing pet sitter. This was the first time I hired a pet sitter. I was worried as my cat Oreo is an anxious cat and if she would be ok but Christian made sure she was comfortable and well taken care of. She seemed super happy and in good spirits when I returned.He sent the cutest pictures and videos and I felt assured that she was good. I would definitely recommend Christian. He went above my expectations!”
“Alyssa is great! She is very responsive and always on time for visits with my cat Tilly. She does a great job giving her her medications (which is not always easy) and is quick to reach out for any concerns. Would recommend her”
“She's amazing! My crazy goober kitten AND my normally shy nervous cat both just loved her - a miracle. She's responsive, stayed the whole visit length with the girls, and is generally just a warm & friendly person. Highly recommend!”
“Megan took excellent care of my kitten, Sofia, as she was recovering from her spay. Sofia and I are very grateful for her and Sofia cant wait to see her again !”
“I can't say enough good things about Bree! Leaving my cat is always stressful, especially since she needs medication twice a day. But Bree was absolutely amazing. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease. While I was away, Bree sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Piper's well-being. More importantly, she administered Piper's medication perfectly, without any issues. I highly recommend bree to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced cat sitter. She went above and beyond, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Christopher provided great care to my cats while I was away for a while. He made sure to give them extra attention and love! I appreciate the updates on the rover cards, especially the adorable pictures he took. He always arrived on time to feed the cats. They seemed well taken care of when I arrived back home. One of my cats didn't want him to leave and kept wanting attention from him. Thank you for being there for the cats!”
“Ellen was great!! Great communication and always on time for our pets! We felt at peace being away this past weekend with her stopping by:) Our furbabies loved her! We will definitely rebook again!”

“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.”
“Meredith has been so great with my dog, Mac! Very timely to their walks, quick to respond, and was flexible when I needed to unexpectedly change my schedule a few times. Definitely recommend”

“Our dog Hippo loves staying with Amanda and David! They are always thoughtful and flexible and Hippo loves having Oden and the kids around. Thank you and see you again soon!”
“Rachel is a huge gift from Rover!!!! My work schedule is a bit crazy and very unpredictable and she’s been so kind and understanding. Beyond that my Bodhi boy is always so excited when we pull down her street because he knows he’s going to have a fun day with her and her pup Leo! Definitely recommend this sitter!!!!”
“Mia took really good care of Gus. It’s been awhile since I left him by himself, so he was really shy. Mia understood this and let him go at his own pace. Her home is lovely with a great front yard set up. I hope Gus opens up more next time. :)”
“Thank you for taking great care of my little man!! He seemed like he was comfortable and enjoyed his time. I appreciated all of the pictures and updates through the day. He will definitely be back for daycare and boarding!”
“Prince had an amazing visit with Zaida today. They took walks and she sent me plenty of pictures. She sent me details about what they did. She is attentive and does a wonderful job with my dog!”
“Mia truly is one of a kind, pet sitter. She provides excellent details throughout the visit, is trustworthy, and I love that she stays with the dog group majority of the day. Very impressed with her service and highly recommend!”
“Amazing Experience with Anthony! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Anthony was absolutely wonderful with my Shih Tzu, Gizzle, at doggie day camp yesterday! He was up bright and early and ready for Gizzle at drop-off. Throughout the day, he kept me updated with important information and sent me pictures of Gizzle. ❤️ Just by looking at the pictures, I could tell Gizzle was happy, comfortable, and being treated with great care. I truly appreciate Anthony’s communication and the love and attention he gave my fur baby. I would definitely recommend him and will be booking with him again! 🐶💕”
“Latrice was available last minute on Christmas eve/Christmas morning of all days. Was literally a lifesaver that she was available last minute on a holiday. My puppy was happy as could be when I picked him up and I could tell he was well taken care of. :) I would absolutely book with her again!”

About: I have been taking care of my dog for 6 years and have experience dogsitting for over 10years. My dog loves to have a friend over and we love to make their stay as amazing as we can. As a dog owner, I want to provide the relief that your dog is well taken care of of while you are away 😊 I currently work from home. Your dog would get plenty of walks throughout the day as well as playtime with my dog. I also have a small courtyard they can access for potty breaks and smell breaks. I have a very small fenced in courtyard for potty breaks and just hanging out outside. I take my dog on walks multiple times a day and we have an afternoon/evening playtime session. My dog Charlie, is a gentle giant and loves guests.
About: I've been around animals since I was a little kid. Grew up on my grandparents' farm taking care of dogs, bunnies, pigs, sheep, cows, you name it. That's where my love for them started. I've trained every dog I've ever owned myself — from a big Rottweiler to a tiny Chihuahua-pug mix, and now my German Shepherd that I raised from a puppy. I'm good at reading their body language, teaching manners, and fixing leash reactivity so walks are actually enjoyable. Been walking dogs for friends and family for years and house-sat a bunch of times. I'll treat your pets like my own — give them the love and attention they deserve, keep them well-behaved, and make sure you have total peace of mind while you're gone. Your dog will be spoiled, safe, and happy with me. I recently transitioned to full-time pet care, so I'm home all day, every day; weekdays and weekends. That means your dog gets my full attention, whether they're at my place or yours. I take them for potty breaks, longer walks, and plenty of playtime to keep them happy and never bored. In my home, the dog always gets my full attention. I'll make sure they feel safe and comfortable, keep them entertained with playtime, and work on training. I love watching them go from not knowing a command to nailing a solid sit, heel, or place. Of course I'll handle all the basics too, feeding exactly how you tell me, potty breaks on schedule, and making sure they're never stressed or bored. Whether it's at my place or yours, I'll treat your dog like my own and give them the attention they need.
“Big milestone for Gus this week—his very first stay with Isabella, and it couldn’t have gone better. 🐾 About a month ago, we did a meet-and-greet so they could get acquainted, and today was the perfect chance for them to spend more time together and strengthen that bond before our trip next week. It means so much knowing he’s becoming comfortable, confident, and happy in her care. Isabella has such a calm, gentle presence, and Gus settled in almost immediately. Even though it was just a day visit, she sent texts and photos throughout the day, which gave us such peace of mind. The best part? Gus had such a wonderful time that he didn’t even want to go home. 💛 That’s the kind of reassurance every dog parent hopes for!”
“Winnie was a life saver to us. We traveled with our pup to NC for a family reunion and wanted to put him in daycare while we attended. I was nervous but she was so pleasant and reassuring; My pup took to her immediately. We were able to enjoy the event knowing that our pup was in good hands.”
“Ana was my best experience on rover thus far. She took amazing care of my dog on a difficult day for my fiancée and I. My dog had a great time with her, and she was excellent at communicating. Highly recommend.”
“Amazing! Was so great with Peanut and making him feel comfortable and understanding his allergies! Sent me photos through out the day :) Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, including dogs, cats, a rabbit, and fish, so caring for animals has always been a normal part of my everyday life. I also have hands-on experience helping care for boarding and daycare dogs in my home, which has given me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, potty breaks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’ve learned that every pet is different, so I pay attention to their individual personality and needs and follow the owner’s instructions and normal routine as closely as possible. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. On a typical weekend, I’m available throughout the day for morning potty breaks and feeding, walks, playtime, plenty of attention, and evening care. I’m able to adjust my schedule based on each pet’s normal routine, including meal times, walks, medications, and bedtime. My family also helps with pet care when needed, so pets have plenty of attention and supervision throughout their stay. Safety and comfort are really important in our home. When caring for pets from multiple families, dogs can be separated as needed so everyone has their own safe space to relax and decompress. Dogs are fed separately in their own crates or designated spaces to prevent food-related conflicts, and crates can also be used for rest or whenever an owner requests it. I try to make each pet’s stay feel as familiar and comfortable as possible, so owners are encouraged to bring their pet’s favorite bed, blanket, stuffed toy, or “lovey” from home. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, potty, medication, and sleeping routine as closely as possible. Pets are supervised during interactions, and I pay attention to their individual personalities and comfort levels rather than expecting every dog to immediately become best friends. My goal is to give each pet plenty of attention while also making sure they have a comfortable, secure place to retreat and relax when they need it.

I'm very attentive when it comes to any pets under my care. I make sure their nutritional needs are met and that they are kept away from any hazards that might be present.
“Dylan has been absolutely wonderful with Dolly! She’s always reliable and on time, takes her on great daily walks, and is so thoughtful about keeping me updated.

She consistently goes above and beyond, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing Dolly is with someone so dependable and caring. I’m so grateful to have found her!”

“Peyton is great. I was very fortunate to come across him when I was visiting Charlotte for two weeks. He came to my hotel and walk my dog every day while I was at work. He was always on time and left me messages every day. I would definitely recommend him. He provided a perfect no stress service. Thank you, Peyton. Pluto will miss you.”
About: I stand out as a dog sitter because I treat every dog like my own—with genuine care, patience, and attention to their unique personality. I don’t just provide basic walks and feeding; I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so both pets and owners feel completely at ease I work remotely and can set aside plenty of time to walk, check - in, or care for your dog while working my full time job. I have key fobs in and out of my complex as well as the rail trail to safely walk on back and forth with police around.
“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.”
About: I have been taking care and looking after animals since I was 10. My family had several dogs, cats, and even reptiles at all points in additional to several friends here in Charlotte. 📸Instagram: buckrover I work in a remote setting for a tech company and make my own schedule. I’m very flexible in my hours and can also work from anywhere. I care with both ease and detail in how the said animal is to be taken care of according to their owners specifications and request.
“Amanda has been such an amazing friend to Cosmo. We moved to 4th ward last week and the change was stressful on the little guy. Amanda immediately established a rapport with him and they have great walks together. She is also very punctual and communicates well.”

“Mackenzie is amazing! She’s reliable, kind, and genuinely cares about our dog. Pippy absolutely adores her. I really appreciate all the photos and updates she sends, and how flexible and available she always is. Highly recommend!”

I’m so thankful I found Vanessa it seemed like Harbor absolutely adored them, she sent me so many photos and updates daily! Very thankful and will absolutely use them again!”
