“Judy is truly an amazing dog sitter! During our trial time - we had a long chat and it was so nice to get to know her and her husband. She updated us during our stay and Indy (our dog) seemed truly so happy when we picked him up! We are so happy!”
“Maria was amazing with our one year old toy poodle Bruno for two weeks and we’re so grateful! She stayed on top of his whole routine, kept up with his eating and walk schedule perfectly, and somehow even got him to actually sleep in his new bed (which he usually wanders off from constantly!). She sent us updates, photos, and videos the whole time, which we loved and it made being away so much easier. Maria and her daughter were the sweetest with our little boy Bruno, you could tell he felt right at home and was totally spoiled with love. He came back happy and relaxed. We’d book her again without needing to think twice when we need support. Your dog or pup couldn’t be in better hands!”
“From the moment I booked with this sitter and had our initial video chat, I instantly felt good vibes and positive energy. She has a dog of her own, and it was clear that Chloe got along with her wonderfully. Throughout the stay, the sitter kept me updated with photos and messages, which I truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing Chloe was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Nothing but great things to say about Remy's stay with Cheryl. He was taken care of, got along great with Speckles, and enjoyed all of the toys and bones provided. He definitely enjoyed the backyard. Highly recommend!”
“This Was My Very First Time Using Rover.. I Went On A 15 Day Hawaii Cruise And Galye Was Left In Bozena Care For 18 Days.. Bozena Updated Me Daily With Pictures Of Galye Which I Really Appreciated Because I Missed Galye So Much.. She Responded Very Quickly If I Had A Question When Checking Up On Galye.. This Was The First Time Being Away From Galye For So Long.. Bozena Did An Amazing Job Taking Care Of Galye & I Would Definitely Use Her Again & Definitely Recommend Her For Caring For Your Pet. Thank You! Again 🤗😀”
“Dana is amazing! She was so wonderful with my little pommy. She took such good care of her and made sure she had plenty of treats. She sent pictures to keep me well informed. I would highly recommend Dana!”
“Peggy really made it feel like my boy was paid attention to and had a great time while I was away. Would recommend, and will definitely look to her first when I need a sitter in the future. Thanks again, Peggy!!!”
“Albina is a great sitter. Very responsive. She has a fenced in backyard and our lab loves playing with her lab in the backyard. She will keep you updated on your pet with pictures and videos. Her kids loved on my dog.”
“Casilya was an incredible dog sitter for my pup, Rigby! She was so welcoming, accomodating, and attentive. She sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were away and was so complimentary of Rigby! I will definitely be using her again for future trips!”
“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”
“Yenny was truly amazing!! She took such good care of Sadie and kept us informed with updates and photos while we were gone. We were so happy knowing Sadie was in such great hands.”
“Cinthya was so great!! She was so responsive and flexible with us leading up to our trip and accommodated many changes! Our pup seemed to have a great time and we got several updates throughout our trip to reassure us. Would absolutely trust our pet again with her!”
“Daniella was so sweet and patient with my dog. She kept me up to date on how he was doing throughout his stay. She asked so many questions to ensure Hudson was getting the best treatment while in her care! I will reach out to Daniella again for my dog’s next over night care!”
“The dogs (all 3 of them could not be happier) to stay with the loveliest family. They spoiled them, exercised them and took such good care of my puppies that I don’t think they wanted to leave. Huge house and a beautiful property for dogs to play and romp and just have a blast!”
“The experience was great for my dog! He was taking to the lake, the park and even to Starbucks for a pup cup! I 1000% will be rebooking! Thanks for taking care of my pup and sending the great pics!”
“Very thankful for finding them! I have an older strong girl who also needs to be kept away from other dogs as she was attacked when she was younger. They assured they could do this, kept me updated, sent photos etc. was very pleased and can’t wait to use them again to watch Harbor! Thank you both again!”
“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.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I needed a dog sitter at the very last minute due to an upcoming major surgery after my previous sitter plans fell through. I was stressed trying to find someone I could trust, and then I aligned with Alexis and I will be forever grateful that I did. When I say Alexis did an exceptional job caring for my Nahla girl, I truly mean it. She communicated consistently, kept me updated, and genuinely cared about Nahla’s health and well-being. She even offered helpful tips and showed so much compassion and attentiveness throughout the entire stay. Knowing Nahla was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind during a very difficult time. Alexis has been amazing across the board, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!”

“Nikita was wonderful with our two cats. She took good care of them, making sure they were fed and played with, and that their litter boxes were cleaned. She provided timely and thorough updates, which included photos and information about their behavior and demeanor. She is very professional and willing to help us when asked. Thank you, Nikita!”
“Sarah couldn't have done a better job then she did she had good communication with me she really went above and beyond what my expectations were for her she was so helpful she really took good care of Thor and my apartment looked great when I got home thanks again for everything i really appreciate it and I'm definitely going to hire her again in April when I go on my cruise if she's available”
“Annemarie was amazing! Super communicative beforehand and day-of…I felt like my cats were in great hands & bonus, she took such cute pics of our less-shy cat who came out to play. Plus, grabbed a package for me which was so helpful. Thank you, thank you!”
“Avery was amazing! She took such great care of our girls while we were away and was super sweet, patient, and reliable. She handled giving medication with no issues at all and kept us updated with photos which helped us being away from them. We’d absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!!”
“Shin was able to check on my blind kitten on last minute’s notice relieving a lot of stress for me (and Zeus!). Appreciated the communication throughout the process and how happy Zeus seems in the pictures!! Will definitely be booking again”

“Kelsey was outstanding with catsitting. Dropped in on time, communicated well and took lots of lovely pictures. She was a huge help and would definitely recommend!”
“Mackenzie is by far the BEST pet sitter that we have ever used. We contacted her at the last minute, she came out to meet Toonie, locate food/water, etc. She was very flexible with timing visits. She even sent us photos EVERY time she came. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER! She’s wonderful!”
“We are SO appreciative of Max! He is quick to communicate and sends great updates. We recently went out of the country and I was pretty nervous about our cats — knowing Max was taking care of them really eased my mind (he handled cat house accidents, mail, and some other random/special pet requests which I so appreciated). We’ll continue to book him as much as he’s available! Thanks, Max!”
“I booked Joann for the first time over the Christmas holiday when none of my usual sitters were available, and I’m so glad I did. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. My cat Mani warmed up to her quickly and clearly felt comfortable in her care, which put me at ease while I was away. Joann also went above and beyond by bringing in packages and even starting my dishwasher; all little things that made a big difference when I came home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Latoya did a fantastic job caring for my cats. We were away for two weeks and she stopped by to check on them daily. I enjoyed her daily reports with photos. When we came home, the cats were happy, litter box was tidy and the water bowl was full. I will definitely be re-booking with Latoya the next time we are away.”
“Taylor was fantastic! She was very responsive and reliable, and made sure to do everything I asked. She took great care of my cats and gave me peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth is so great with Miss Rosemary always! My sweet girl enjoys the drop in visits. I feel so at ease knowing Elizabeth will be checking on her making sure all is well when I am away!”

“Savannah provided reliable care for our cat. She was prompt, efficient and followed all of our instructions perfectly. Our cat was very responsive to her and we appreciated her caring, professional attitude.”

“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.

I would recommend Peggy if you’re in need of daycare!”

She kept us up to date on our pup and helped us out tremendously with keeping her for so long. We would definitely recommend her to anyone and would trust her with our little Leia Belle anytime!”
“Luna enjoys spending the day at Mia’s very much! Her tail starts wagging the minute we pull up. Mia is always so flexible and quick to respond to requests. Couldn’t ask for more for my dog!”
“Christine and Andrew have been the best with taking care of Wilma weekly. They are sure to keep us updated and send pictures - they also make sure she gets plenty of toys :) Wilma looks forward to her time with them each week and it has been so seamless working with the both of them. I highly recommend working with them on pet sitting needs - they rock!”
About: I have lifelong experience with dogs, caring for both my own and others’ pets since childhood. My experience includes providing attentive care to elderly dogs, particularly during my time with my aging corgi. While I love dogs of all ages, I understand the unique needs of senior dogs and am committed to ensuring their comfort and well-being. Unfortunately, we cannot accept pit bulls or Staffordshire terriers. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to tailor my schedule to your dog’s needs and level of activity. I can provide exceptional care for your pet because I will be home all day during the work week. I am especially good at following your instructions. I have been been taking a walk every day for years and would love to take your dog with me.
About: I have lots of experience with petsitting and have 2 dogs and a cat of my own. It’s so important to be able to have peace of mind when you’re away and I will be the person you can trust with your fur babies. I will stick directly to instructions given to me and will never fail to please a client. I look forward to meeting you in the future! I have a very open schedule, I would prefer not to work on the weekends but if needed I can do that for your family! In my home I have 2 dogs and one cat of my own. The dogs sleep in crates most night and are usually always in the house or outside. I try not to keep them crated during the day unless I am not at home.
“Keira is wonderful. My dog tends to be anxious around strangers, but he was instantly at ease with Keira. Each time he comes home from Keira's, Persy is relaxed and content. We love Keira and Milo!”
“My dog Pepsi went straight in with Mrs.Ann and didn't look back and didn't whine when I left. Mrs.Ann was nothing but fantastic and I would definitely recommend her services and will definitely let her watch Pepsi again next year during our Carowinds trips.”
“Jennifer and her dog Boomer were amazing!! They made my dog Lenny feel right at home! Boomer and Lenny played all afternoon in Jennifer’s beautiful fenced in back yard and Lenny slept great when he got home from a full day of fun! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for their dog to have a great day!!”

“Just one week into having Max (and his fiancé) take care of my two dogs and I’m already so impressed. Max and Jen took the time to get to know my dogs and asked tons of questions prior to starting weekly walks. They are both incredibly communicative and timely, send pictures and updates for each walk, and have been extremely patient with my female pup, who can be shy around new people. I will definitely turn to Max and Jen for any future dog sitting needs!”
“Averi is always reliable and quick to respond. She only had to cancel one time with us as she was attacked by another dog and needed to tend to her own health. She let us know as soon as it happened that she needed to cancel so we could rearrange.”
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful with Kash! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for her like she was her own. Kash took to her right away, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Lauren made sure Kash got her walks, attention, and care, and everything went smoothly. I will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter or dog walker!”
“Lindsey is wonderful. She goes above and beyond. My dog Cricket really likes her. Lindsey is reliable and communicative. She is able to accommodate my schedule. She also takes the funniest pictures. I look forward to a laugh every day. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Casilya has been a god send. Shes deal with our last minute cancellations and additional requests like a champ. She is flexible whenever we need and has made multiple trips when I accidentally locked her out preventing the walk. She could have gone home and charged us anyways but she didn’t she came back to give my pup a much needed walk after I ran home on lunch to unlock the dog patio.”
“Erica is AMAZING. She is so good with our dog and definitely keeps him active! She really maintains our training regimen and enforces what we’ve been working on with the dog. She’s our new go-to for walks and exercise!”
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.
“Steve came to our family’s rescue after I tore my ACL. Our pup is VERY high energy and so I ran with him prior to my injury. All of that energy had to go somewhere while I recovered and Steve was that answer!”
About: Hi! I am a student and football player at Furman University. I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up around dogs of all sizes and personalities. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them attention and comfort. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I’m currently home for the month of May from college. I love being active and working out is a huge part of my daily life. Throughout the month I will sporadically be doing some shadowing in the Wealth Management space. My schedule is basically wide open and I plan to fill a lot of that time by caring for pets. I’m happy to walk your dog for as long as needed, and I also enjoy doing drop-in visits. I take pride in making sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and in good hands.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, primarily large dogs up until end of life, as well as cats in the last 6 years. I’ve got extensive experience with these guys, and my love for these animals runs deep! I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule is very flexible for visiting or playing with your pets! The best times to schedule me are between 8am and 8pm, but I am open to other hours with planning in advance. :) I have a screened in yard, as well as 2 crates for small dogs and cats, comfy beds, and toys for them to play with! I also have treats and a dedicated space within my home for them to relax in.

Great folks who seem to really care about animals.”
