“Peggy was absolutely fantastic! She kept us updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Teddy had an amazing time playing in the yard and going on walks—he came home happy and clearly well cared for. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating when we had to extend Teddy’s stay twice due to weather-related travel delays, which we really appreciated. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We would 100% trust Peggy with Teddy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Hannah deserves more than 5 stars. She is truly a gem and easily one of the best on Rover. She provided tons of updates on Oshie and Oshie loved her time with Hannah!”
“I can’t recommend Yenny enough! She has been so attentive and caring with my Ruby. During Ruby’s stay, Yenny noticed the early signs of an ear infection and made sure to keep her ears as clean as possible while I was away. I felt completely confident knowing Ruby was in such capable hands. Yenny always goes above and beyond, and I never have to worry when she’s taking care of my little girl.”

“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!”
“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”
“Celeste is the best. I had an unexpected delayed flight, and thankfully, Celeste was able to watch my dog longer than I had planned. I was updated regularly with pictures while on vacation that made my day. I knew my dog was in safe hands so I could enjoy my vacation. I definitely will use Celeste again.”
“Rae was a fantastic caregiver for my dog, Rey. She is very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. I received lots of pictures and a couple of videos which I appreciated. Rae is also a proactive communicator and responds in a timely manner. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“I don’t know who had more fun on vacation me or my dog, Joy. Megan and her pup Frank were wonderful with Jo while I was away, and the steady stream of updates were such a reassurance.”

“Daniella was a great sitter for my dog Panda. Panda is a very unique dog with many quirks and Daniella handled them well. She sent pictures of their time together and made him feel at home. Daniella kept me updated and followed all his care instructions. I would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.”
“Susan has cared for Toby on several occasions. Toby always comes home happy! Susan is great with him as a senior boy, handling him carefully and giving him his medications.”
“Tawni took very good care of our Daisy and kept in touch throughout her stay. I felt comfortable and confident that our Daisy was in good hands and appreciative Tawni being available each time I reached out to her”
“I’ve never used Rover or boarded my dog before, so I was honestly a little nervous. But Lauryn made me feel so comfortable from the start, especially since this was a last minute booking. She sent pictures every day and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. Great communication and overall a great experience. I’ll definitely be booking with her again for my next trip!”

It was my first time leaving my baby for that long, and using Rover, and she made the process absolutely perfect! I am so grateful!! 10/10”
“Megan kept really great communication throughout the process, and the notes with pictures were very comforting to us as people who rarely leave their pet alone. We have never let a stranger care for Laila before, but meeting Megan helped me feel so much more comfortable with the idea and place full trust in her. She is a kind and caring sitter who clearly cares for her animals, would definitely recommend!”

I will definitely be requesting Sophie again and I highly recommend her to others ☺️”
“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.

“Peggy was great with my baby girl! She made sure my pup had lots of plays throughout the day, and sent me pictures and updates. She was able to accommodate our booking request such short notice, which really helped us out. Peggy’s home was welcoming and had lots of space for my pup to run around with her pups. I would recommend Peggy if you’re in need of daycare!”

“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.”
“You can tell Mia has a lot of love for all of the dogs she watches. She made me feel very at ease leaving our separation anxiety ridden pup Stella in her care, and from the photos and videos throughout the day it was clear Stella was very comfortable and making friends! We especially loved the ‘class photo’ Mia sent at the end of the day with all of the daycare pups. Looking forward to our next visit!”
“Ashly was incredible with our little golden doodle pup! We were very nervous at first with a sitter since we only had him for 4 days but she made us feel comfortable and safe!”
About: I’m the definition of a “dog person” — we’ve had several of our own, and we’ve been a boarding stop for friends and family for years. I’m not working full-time right now, so I have plenty of time to exercise your fur-friend, or just drop in for a visit! If you have any specific questions or concerns, I’d be happy to answer them! I’m not working full-time at the moment, so I’m available any day, at any time! Plenty of time for long walks or drop-ins, whatever your pet needs. Whatever you and your pet are comfortable with! I’ve dealt with tiny dogs and huge dogs, seniors and young puppies — they’re all special to me.
About: I'm from generations of animal lovers especially dogs. My Grandparents took in retired racing Greyhounds and from there I learned that animals should be loved and cared for the entirety of their life. For the past three plus years I volunteer walking dogs at my local rescue. I am comfortable walking all size dogs and I have experience walking strong and bouncy dogs. I have patience and understanding of how to allow dogs to greet each other and aware when it's not appropriate. Your dog will enjoy their time walking with me and I can't wait to meet them. I'm in the middle of transitioning my job so right now I am available weekdays through 5:00 pm to walk dogs or play with them in your yard. I can ensure that your dog is safe in their crate/home environment. I am happy to clean any mess they may have made, and I am happy to provide them a fresh bowl of water or food.
“Adrienne & Jarrod are incredible! They are kind, responsive, and accommodating which made the experience stress-free. Through the numerous photos they provided it was clear that our dog, Harley, got along very well with Remy and received a great balance of exercise and enrichment throughout the day. Harley can't wait for her next stay!”
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.
“Maria did amazing with Lexie! Lexie had some separation anxiety and got into some food when Maria left but she handled it really well and kept me informed. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for family and friends since I was 18. I love meeting new dogs and letting brewer make new pup friends! I’ve been trusted with over night stays, feedings, baths, long walks, etc. I have dog training skills as well such as leash control, obeying commands, etc. I work remotely full time at my own schedule. I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, bathroom breaks, play time, feedings, etc. I am able to keep a crate if needed. My apartment complex has a dog park for playing and I have a super friendly dog to keep your dog entertained and loves to play. I also live a block across from the walking trail which is perfect for walks.
“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!”

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.
“The dogs loved their walk with Kaitlyn. They were tuckered out when they got back and slept soundly while I worked from home. Perfect situation! Can’t wait for their next walk today!”
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!

About: I grew up in a pet loving household with cats, dogs and the occasional hamster or two. My husband and I now have a sassy 13 year old calico named Mittens and our newest addition is a rescue puppy called Leia. We also recently had to say goodbye to our senior dog Arlie. I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats throughout their life stages and changing needs. I work for myself so my schedule is very flexible. Afternoons specifically I am usually wide open and love getting a good walk in with a pup! My weekends tend to be very flexible as well. I treat your pets as I do my own with lots of care, attention and love. After a life spent around pets I'm very good at reading their emotions and will do my best to have a fun and safe time together.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for five years now and can work with puppies, middle-aged dogs, and older dogs. My girlfriend and I have recently adopted a mixed breed dog in the shelter and pat him for over a year now. I’ve accepted a job at a investment firm and do not start until July 6 so I’m currently looking for extra work and don’t have any obligations until then I normally do 30 to 45 minute walks this includes playtime sessions and I can visit 2 to 3 times a day depending on your pet needs!

I am able to take care of pretty much all their essential needs. I can also provide playtime for pets under my supervision. I ensure that they are in a safe space and away from any hazards. I'm good at providing updates, with pictures included, so you know that your pet is doing well while you are away! I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I'm not too busy during the week, so my availability to provide care for pets have been pretty good. I'm very attentive when it comes to pets. You can rest assured that your furry friend will have a safe environment to running around and play in. Multiple pets that engage in playtime with each other will be supervised while under my care to mitigate any aggression that may come up during this activity.
“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.”
“Kelly did a great job! She was able to arrange a last-minute meet and greet as I was traveling unexpectedly during New Years and did an excellent job with my two large dogs and 4 cats. She followed all of their care instructions and all of my pets were happy and well cared for when I returned. I am already scheduling my next booking with her, highly recommended!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“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!!”

She went above and beyond by taking Ollie on hikes, long walks, and abiding by all his little quirks. I could tell Ollie had a blast and loved playing with her sweet dog, Kru. The day I was supposed to pick Ollie up, my flight was delayed til super late, and Erika was extremely responsive and cooperative working with me to find the best way to handle the pickup. She truly knows what a dog parent wants when letting someone watch their pup, and she’ll treat them like on of her own!”
“Cody was amazing, From the talk we had before we booked him to the time we picked up our girl at the end of her stay. Pictures and videos everyday.

“McKenna was absolutely wonderful with Mick! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. She was incredibly communicative and personable throughout his stay, keeping me updated and sending plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. One of the things I appreciated most was how active and engaged she was with him. She took Mick to the park every day, making sure he got plenty of exercise (even on rainy days), enrichment, and fun. It was clear from the photos and updates that he was happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoying himself. McKenna went above and beyond to make sure Mick was well cared for, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive Rover sitter. Thank you, McKenna! 🐾❤️”
