“We would highly recommend Amanda and her family to other dog owners. They went above and beyond to make our puppy feel at home and cared for. Amanda is also very responsive and kept up updated throughout the stay.”
“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! 😊”
“Our pup Reese had the best time this weekend! Love getting the photo & video updates and I know she loves running outside in the yard with Bishop! Thanks again!”
“My fur baby was right at home. Aquisha was awesome and made me feel very comfortable with leaving Zeus with her. i didn’t worry about him one bit and she sent me pictures daily.”
“Caitlin was great! She kept me updated and sent pictures daily. My dog also got along great with her dog, and it made me feel better knowing she already had a schedule and would treat my dog as her own. Would absolutely use her again!”
“Alexis was great with Gus. She provided great photos and was very understanding of my puppy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for great pup g care!”
“We'd never utilized Rover before and we needed a caretaker for same-day. "Will we be able to set up an appointment with a kind sitter on such short notice?", we wondered. Scrolling through those who were available per our schedule, we selected Carolyn, then crossed our fingers that she would respond soon. She responded surprisingly quickly- in fact, Carolyn's communication was efficient and professional from start to finish. Although we were a bit anxious dropping our girl off, we clearly needn't have been worried. At drop-off, Carolyn reached out sweetly to greet our girl, and they appeared to share immediate comfort with each other. The photos we received from Carolyn a few hours later demonstrated to us that everything was going peacefully in our absence. And pick-up, too, was efficiently handled. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with every single aspect of our experience with Carolyn: we genuinely recommend her, and our girl Lucy gives her a 4-paws-up rating as well. Thanks very much, Carolyn!”
“Monique was very responsive to my questions. She was very friendly and her home was attractive with a fenced yard. She walked Teddy with her dog and let him chill on her couch. I feel he was well cared for. I would definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“Isabella was amazing with Isla! She sent a lot of pictures and was incredibly thorough in asking questions to understand how to best care for Isla. We will definitely be booking 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!”
“Tiffany was beyond amazing with our pup! This was the first time anyone has watched him and our first time using Rover. Tiffany made us and our pup feel soooo welcomed, loved, and cared for. I cannot explain how much I would recommend Tiffany for anyone looking to watch their pup. Our pup had the ChowChow and Huskey personality and Tiffany was able to handle his fun energy. She made our pup feel at home and loved and that’s exactly what we were looking for. I canning wait to have Tiffany watch our pup again in the future.”
“Once again, Cullen was amazing!! This was our first time leaving Zuri overnight with him and it felt so great to have peace of mind the whole time she was with him. So grateful for the warm care and many pics!!”
“Jessyca was absolutely wonderful with our pup Nina! She was so kind, caring, and attentive, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. We really appreciated having a meet-and-greet beforehand, and she took the time to get to know Nina and make sure she was comfortable. While we were away, Jessyca sent us lots of updates and photos, which gave us such great peace of mind. She gave Nina plenty of love and cuddles and Nina came home a happy girl! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Jessyca to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and reliable. We will definitely book with her 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”
“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!”
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.

“TINA IS THE BEST!! Always communicative, very respectful, very timely, and always provides really nice updates on my son (cat). Definitely looking to hire Tina as much as she can!”
“Lora goes above and beyond to make sure my kitties feel loved and cared for when she’s on the job. You can instantly tell she is passionate about learning the ins and outs of each pet and I can sleep easier knowing my girls are in such good capable hands with Lora. She sends detailed summaries of her visits along with several pictures to give you the peace of mind you long for when you’re entrusting your pets in someone else’s care.”
“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”

“I can’t recommend Daniella enough! She took such great care of my cat while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. I loved receiving updates and photos, and it was clear my cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for.”
“Chelsea is fantastic! She kept my place clean and took perfect care of my babies while I was away. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such great hands. I would absolutely hire her again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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'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.

“Mia was great. She took care of my pups on a very short notice. She is very flexible and willing to make things work. She sent tons of pictures of their walks and play time. I will definitely bring my pups to the Inn for our future trips.”
“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. :)”
“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! 🐶💕”
“Amanda was amazing and highly communicative throughout the entire stay. She went above and beyond to help my anxious pup feel comfortable, which made a huge difference. I really appreciated her care and attention.”
“Amazing! Was so great with Peanut and making him feel comfortable and understanding his allergies! Sent me photos through out the day :) Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Allison did not disappoint! Allison's excellent communication skills gave me so much peace of mind throughout the whole process. I also really enjoyed receiving photos and updates throughout the day. I will definitely be booking with Allison again and highly recommend other to do the same!”
“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!!!!”
“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.”
“Vanessa was great! She was easy to communicate with, very responsive, fantastic with our dog, and responsible. Our pup was taken care of, was active, and safe. Would highly recommend!”
“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!”
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.

“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!”

“Amanda is great and super communicative. She was also able to accommodate a last minute walk for Finley which gave me peace of mind while I was away from home. I have already booked my next visit with Amanda and will definitely be using her services in the future!”
“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 pet owners for years & there’s nothing I love more than spending time with animals. I love to take walks to the dog park & have a good game of fetch. I also take pictures of pets that I taken care of before so let me know if that’s something you would like. I currently work from home so I spend all day with my pets. My job lets me be able to still take my dog on multiple walks a day, have play time, go to the park & more. The play area is fenced in, I can easily crate your dog if needed. In my home I can provide everything your pet needs like if it was their own home and vice versa.
“Jacqueline was amazing. She was wonderful with our 80 lbs puppy. She was so understanding when Rover gave the wrong address too. We will definitely use her again!”
“Rachel is absolutely amazing!!! she's sent numerous pictures and gave Emma tons of love. We are looking forward to working with her again. We highly recommended Rachel”

About: Passionate pet care professional, carrying years of experience taking care of the needs of animals, especially dogs.

“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.”
“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.”
“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 have been an animal person my whole life. I believe your pets are like your children, and they should be treated as such! I have grown up with dogs of all types; pugs, terriers, labs, bulldogs, pitbulls, ect. I would be absolutely overjoyed to take care of your precious pets. I currently live in Charlotte near South End and am taking a break from my 8 year elementary teaching career. I would love to help take care of your children whenever you need me :) I am currently taking a break from my 8 year elementary teaching career, and am doing part time nannying. My schedule is very flexible and I am available most days! As I stated in my bio, animals are my one true love. I would love the opportunity to befriend your precious pets and take care of them when you are away! I can do walking, drop-in visits, or just cuddle with them! I have 2 rescue dogs at home who don't necessarily get along with other animals, so I am unable to do boarding at my home. Please reach out if you need someone to love your babies!

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.
About: Ive been caring for and loving dogs for 30 plus years :) I'm a nurse who works from home now and frequently dog sit for friends. I walk 12k steps a day so if your dog loves walks, they'll get them! If they'd rather be my lazy co worker and hangout as I work at my desk, thats great too :) have lots of love and attention to give your sweet baby! Wfh full time. Routine is flexible! I get lots of steps in to break up my day at the desk so lots of opportunity to get outside. 2 story town home end unit with walkout back patio. No fence. No kids, no other pets, very clean, no clutter or risk of eating things 😂
About: I have been around many cats and dogs with all personality types. Whether they are energetic, aggressive, shy, or just begging for treats all of the time, nothing really fazes me. I’ve watched many cats and dogs from a young age. While getting to love and bond with a new animal, I understand the amount of responsibility it takes to take care of animals, especially if they are not your own. My family and I used to foster kittens and sometimes puppies so I am also used to young animals that may not be potty trained or need extra supervision! On the flip side, my childhood cat lived until 15 years old; understanding the needs of an older animal is also something that is important to me while sitting. I work full time, mostly in the early morning. When working an early morning shift, I’m usually off by 2:00. I have two shifts per week that I work until 7:00 PM, but I will have my mornings free until around noon. I also have 2 days off per week. When sitting your animal, they will be my top priority. Whether it’s during a walk, feeding time, or playtime, I will want to spend as much time as I can with your furry friend! If you are looking for your animal to stay at my home, I can only accept dogs. My cat does not do well with other cats but he loves dogs. If you have a fully potty trained dog who can coexist with cats, they are welcome in my home. I will not be at home all day but when I am, majority of that time will be spent with your animal.
“Stephen was so incredible good with my pups! I liked getting feedback after every walk on behavior and their eating. The pups look like they enjoyed themselves tremendously! Will book with Stephen again”

“Mathias watched my girl Mia for about a week and a half and I’ve never seen her warm up to someone new so quickly! She had a great time with Mathias, Bodhie, and all the pups during her stay. Mathias was always prompt with responding, extremely friendly, and sent lots of pictures and updates making me feel extremely reassured while I was away. I will definitely be booking Mathias in the future!! Thank you so much!”
“Our pup Reese had the best time this weekend! Love getting the photo & video updates and I know she loves running outside in the yard with Bishop! Thanks again!”
“Best peace of mind I could have asked for as an anxious dog mom lol. From the beginning of booking, to the arrival, actual stay, and pickup, Maria was so amazing! She’s so nice, informative, laid back, and I can tell she really cares for animals. I’ll definitely be rebooking in the future! Again, Maria thank you so much!”
“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!”
“I would give Kelsey 10 stars if I could! I have used Rover quite a few times prior and have had the best experience with her. She was so sweet and welcoming to my pup, Culver. She continuously kept me in the loop and sent photos/videos. I even had a canceled flight and got into town later than expected to pick up Culver and she was so flexible and willing to help out. I can really tell she loves to be around dogs and treats them as her own. I will be using Kelsey whenever I can!! :)”
“Caitlin was great! She kept me updated and sent pictures daily. My dog also got along great with her dog, and it made me feel better knowing she already had a schedule and would treat my dog as her own. Would absolutely use her again!”
“Alexis was great with Gus. She provided great photos and was very understanding of my puppy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for great pup g care!”
“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!”
“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 beyond amazing with our pup! This was the first time anyone has watched him and our first time using Rover. Tiffany made us and our pup feel soooo welcomed, loved, and cared for. I cannot explain how much I would recommend Tiffany for anyone looking to watch their pup. Our pup had the ChowChow and Huskey personality and Tiffany was able to handle his fun energy. She made our pup feel at home and loved and that’s exactly what we were looking for. I canning wait to have Tiffany watch our pup again in the future.”
“Julia is very kind and did a wonderful job looking after our 11-year-old dog while we were away for a few days. We did a meet-and-greet to make sure her cat and dog got along. Julia provided daily updates and from the photos he was quite comfy in her home. I highly recommend.”
“Vanessa and Greg are, without a doubt, the best dog sitters we’ve ever had. Our dog, Jerry, is always well cared for with anyone, but it’s obvious he absolutely loves staying with them. The excitement on his face when he sees them and how happy and relaxed he is when we pick him up says everything. It’s clear they genuinely love him, and that means the world to us. They treat him like he’s part of their family, and we never have to worry while we’re away because we know he’s getting so much love, attention, and care. Finding people you trust completely with your dog is rare, and Vanessa and Greg are truly a godsend. We are so grateful for them, and Jerry can’t wait for his next stay every time. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“Megan was great with Jasper! He had so much and I got daily pictures. She even sat with him to make sure he ate his dinner when he was too shy to eat somewhere new. Will definitely be rebooking”
“Jessyca was absolutely wonderful with our pup Nina! She was so kind, caring, and attentive, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. We really appreciated having a meet-and-greet beforehand, and she took the time to get to know Nina and make sure she was comfortable. While we were away, Jessyca sent us lots of updates and photos, which gave us such great peace of mind. She gave Nina plenty of love and cuddles and Nina came home a happy girl! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Jessyca to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and reliable. We will definitely book with her again! 💕 🐾”
“Ana was a fantastic sitter for my dog Moose! I felt completely comfortable with him in her care while I was out of town. Ana was welcoming and very communicative, all photos/videos I received of Moose showed him happy, cozy, and well taken care of. I would absolutely book with Ana again!”
“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!”
“Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent sitter! And she was very patient and understanding with all of my needs. Being that my dog is a senior and she needs a little extra attention. She was able to handle all of her medication and gental care. She was very responsive and just has a great positive exciting energy about herself. I felt very comfortable leaving my old goat with her.”
