“Super great with my pets! They made themselves right at home and I could tell they were comfortable. I got updates often while I was away which was great, and she was super understanding and patient with me when I had troubles coming back from my trip to pick them up. I definitely recommend Janell!!”
“Maria is amazing with my dog, Maya! I never have to worry when I’m away because I know Maya is getting the best care. Maria has even stepped in on short notice when things came up unexpectedly, which has been such a lifesaver. It’s such a relief to have someone so reliable and caring to look after my pup. Highly recommend Maria!”
“Sandra is great! I could tell Mojo really enjoyed being there with her and I loved how she kept me updated on how things were going and providing photos a videos throughout his stay. She took him on long walks and let the kids play with him, which I know he soaked up every ounce of that extra love!”

“We were very happy with the care our dog got at Leslie's house when we were out of town. Our dog is so quirky, that I was nervous about leaving him and when my husband picked him up, he acted like he didn't want to leave. We will definitely be using her services again in the future. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of our sweet boy!”

We had a slight horror story with another sitter, but Anamika made sure to keep a good eye on Mars and kept us updated multiple times a day with his care, disposition/demeanor and even his poop lol. We will definitely book again for any other trips and refer her to others.”
“Allison was great!! This was my first time boarding on Rover and I was so at ease the entire time. She kept me updated on how my boy was doing. I could tell he was in great hands. He also made new fur friends too! I will definitely be booking her moving forward.”

“Russell was amazing! He gave me regular updates and always made sure to play with Cali. The pictures he sent me showed Cali looking so happy and comfortable with them. It definitely put me at ease while I was away.”
“Leaving my dear baby is never easy, but sometimes it's necessary. Tara was quick to respond to my initial request for a boarding, and leaving my Bella with her gave me peace of mind, knowing she was in good hands and would be cared for as if she were at home. Tara’s friendly communication and update pictures reassured me of her professionalism and loving care. I will definitely reach out again for boarding in the future.”
“Great new friends for Zulu to hang with!!! Their cool demeanor and willingness to take on an older puppers with seizure disorder left me knowing my best good buddy would be taken care of while we need to travel out of the country for work. I loved getting photos and videos while away. Will be back for more fun!!”

About: Hi, I’m Maddie! I love spending time outside and what better way to do that than to be walking a dog!? I have a 3 year old Red Lab, Buck, and he is our world!! He’s a very active dog and I typically take him for a 3 mile walk everyday. I have a very flexible schedule and am always down for a last minute check in or walk. Can’t wait to meet your pups! 🩷 We are new to the Charlotte and I am currently unemployed, so I have a LOT of free time in my hands! Very open schedule. We are putting up a fence as week speak! We are excited because eventually we will be available to board dogs for extended stays too.
“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!”

“I’ve only used Maria one time so far, but she’s very sweet & very loving toward my 10-week-old puppy. She sent multiple pictures during my 4 hour or so absence. I’ll use her again!”
About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals like dogs, cats, and even a few bunnies, so caring for them has felt natural for as long as I can remember. Seven months ago, I adopted a puppy of my own, and she’s taught me so much about patience, routines, and unconditional love. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur baby, and I treat every pet like part of the family. I’m especially good with puppies who are still learning, calm or sensitive pets, and following your pet’s routine exactly as needed. I bring a lot of love, calm energy, and attention to detail to every visit or walk. I’m very flexible! I work from home, so my schedule is wide open. I can take the doggies for walks, potty breaks, or just hang out with them! 😊 At my place, I make sure pets feel safe, comfy, and loved, just like they would at home. I keep things clean and chill, with lots of playtime, cuddles, and outdoor breaks. I also stick to their routine and take care of any special needs they have. When I’m at your place, I’m respectful of your space and follow your instructions closely. I know how important it is to keep things familiar for your pet, so I follow their usual schedule. That includes meals, walks, playtime, and any meds if needed. My goal is always to help them feel happy, relaxed, and cared for, wherever they are.
“Lynann has been great for our new puppy daycare needs. She is very responsive and easy to communicate with. She sends updates to let us know how Hazel is doing and Hazel really seems to enjoy it there! She even ran to the door this morning like she was excited. It’s great to know our new addition is in good hands while we’re at work and can’t be with her.”
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.
“Allison was a pleasure from our consultation call to picking up Oscar. I truly appreciated the updates throughout the day, leaving your puppy for the first can be very difficult, but Allison made it a breeze.”
“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.”
“She was very communicative. Sent lots of pictures and videos. When an issue arose, she handled it perfectly and communicated what happened and we established a plan for if it should come up again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and absolutely love spending time with them! Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, and care their dogs from when they were energetic puppies to older and more relaxed. I’m comfortable handling different personalities and needs, whether that means playtime, sticking to routines, or giving extra time and patience. I treat every dog like my own and aim to make them feel safe, happy and cared for. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pup and will often be available for last minute requests as well! I am available for drop ins and walks weekdays and weekends, and daycare and overnight stays during the week. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, and have time for walks, play, and bathroom breaks. For daycare in my home, I provide a calm environment with regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention.
“Stacey was wonderful and Baby Hutch had such a good time with her and all the other pups at Daycare!! I will definitely be taking him back!! Thank you Stacey for helping me with a 7 week old puppy on such short notice!! You made me feel at ease and I knew he was in good hands!!”
About: Since birth grew up with a family dog, German Shepherds, a Lab, and at 10 years old I was given responsibility for my own dog a Maltese, Le Petite Pookay( Pookie for short). When I went off to college my Mom stole(inside joke) adopted her and I haven’t had my own dog since but over the course of the past 20 years Ive watched plenty of friends and family dogs and pets. Some claim me to be the Dog Whisperer as even shy pups seem to gravitate towards me. This last year, while transitioning to the Charlotte. NC area I stayed with a Rover host and helped out. And now that Im in my own place, a two story townhouse, I’d love to continue to host and care for your fur babies. I really miss having a furry family member around but truly excited for the opportunity to take care of your animal loved one. I do know about providing excellent customer service, the importance of integrity and working hard with the importance of humility. Service is the heart of who I am and know the special bond our family furries hold in our lives. I can't wait and hope to care for your furry loved one soon! I work from home, so my availability to host is flexible and open. I also, don’t leave the house too often for long periods and will be attentive to caring for your pet. My first floor level is open for your fur baby to free roam, but can also crate if preferred. I have a few areas with tile for easy cleaning. In addition, I have a backyard with some enclosure but have a tie down to attach to collar or harness for first and last pet relief but my subdivision has a dog walk trail for walks and extended exercise.
“Dennise was fantastic. When we unexpectedly needed a daytime sitter while traveling, Dennise responded promptly to the request and took our fur baby in. She took pictures and accommodated our varied schedule needs. When we are back in the area, we will definitely have Maxwell spend time with Dennise.”
“This is our second time using JaXx, and it’s been great! Love the updates and the attention that she gives out little Yadi. We plan on making her part of the family! Highly recommend.”
“Kathy is so sweet & very attentive with my dog. She's also great at communication, which I've found to be a rare occurrence on Rover. She cares for other dogs while keeping mine, but I would never know if she hadn't told me! She sends pics throughout the day & promptly updates time cards. She's so compassionate & truly cares for my fur baby's wellbeing. I highly recommend Kathy!”
“Stevie and Moose loved staying at Catherine’s house for day care. This was their first time but definitely not the last. Catherine is very communicative and we appreciated that. Thank you to Catherine and her daughter for such a great care of ours dogs ❤️.”
“Sandra is very communicative and reliable! Bingo had a great visit for daycare with her. She sent many pics and videos so I knew he was well taken care of. Will definitely book again!!”
“Banner had another fun time at the Inn!! Mia takes such fabulous care of the pups. She sends pictures and videos throughout the day and all of the pups are having the best time playing! And the best part is that my very energetic puppy comes home exhausted. 10/10 would recommend and will be back. Thank you, Mia!”

“Carina is the best! She did an amazing job with my Pit. Didn’t think twice about keeping him because of his breed. She’s very sweet and I will request/refer her to anyone!”
“This was our first Rover walk for Coug. He can be nervous with new people, and Rachel was patient, kind, and understanding of his personality. She communicated well and made me feel comfortable knowing he was being cared for. I would happily book with Rachel again.”
“Dominique was so wonderful! Angus absolutely loved his daily walks with her. Her clear communication and fun pictures made my day! I cannot wait for Angus to have an opportunity to spend time with Dominique in the future!!”
About: I have grown up around dogs all my life. I have worked with both big and small dogs and love every size. I have volunteered working with litters of puppies, cleaning , feeding and exercising them. I commonly help with family and friends pets as well as people near by in my community. I have worked with dogs that require specific care like medicines, baths and schedules as well. Im currently available to work with your furry friends almost full time! Most days I have a flexible schedule that makes it possible to care for your pets when its most convent for you. I am able to provide walking services or drop in visits if your pet just needs some company! I can clean up any pet messes as well as feeding your furry friend if you need. I am open to discussions about providing baths if it is a task you need completed for your pet.
“Tricia is an amazing person and a wonderful pet-sitter! When I met her, I could tell instantly that she was kind and would take wonderful care of our dog, Lucy. Tricia was the perfect pet-sitter for Lucy, as she is a senior dog and really loves affection, attention, and that extra dose of special care. Tricia went the extra mile for her when she realized she may have been suffering a little bit from seasonal allergies, and she took it upon herself to buy her allergy soothing wipes. We didn’t even ask her to do this, and she did it out of the kindness of her heart. I cannot say enough about how appreciative our family is of Tricia. Her communication and positive spirit were evident the entire time we were away. She is the best!”
“Amazing first impression! Shannon is so passionate, kind, considerate, and caring for our pups which is very reassuring with my fur babies! Can’t wait to keep having her care for my fur babies!❤️”
“Dennise was a joy to work with. Our plans were a bit up in the air and Dennise was so easy to work with and accommodating with our ever changing schedule. I highly recommend her services.”
“Winnie did a great job with Turret. I needed her last minute and I didn't put his harness on him. She was quick to respond, problem solved and sent pictures of my sweet boy.”
“Caprielle is a lifesaver! She walks Gucci and stepped in last minute to puppy-sit both of our boys so we could run errands stress-free. She’s reliable, dependable and so friendly! We’re so grateful for her and highly recommend!”
“We just hired Kristi as our dog walker, and she's been wonderful right from the start. Our dog is pretty shy with new people, but Kristi was patient and gentle, taking the time to let her warm up instead of rushing things. By the end of the first walk, our dog was already more comfortable with her. It's clear Kristi genuinely understands dog behavior and knows how to put a nervous pup at ease. Really glad we found her!”
“Jack was fantastic with our dogs. Very kind and communicative. Our dogs loved him and we trusted him completely with him. Can’t wait to work with him again!”
About: I"ve been a proud cat mother for 8 years. I love dogs but I was never willing to be a permanent dog owner because I understand the responsibility and I take that responsibility and have not been ready yet but I am ready to be your pet sitter. I have never known my one cat to be aggressive around dogs should you be looking for your dog to spend time in my home. In addition to my aspirations to be a pet sitter, I am a freelance recruiter and an aspiring actor. I have walked friends dogs before as well as stopped in for an in-home visit. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I currently have a recruiting business but no client work right now so I am wide open to help you with your pet care needs. I would absolutely make sure that I wrote down all the necessary instructions and followed them to the last word. I am very good with cat behavior.
“LeNai was fantastic! It was our first time trying doggie daycare and LeNai made Neptune feel right at home. We received videos and pictures of him having a great time which eased our own separation anxiety! Would definitely recommend using her services and I'm sure Neptune can't wait to spend some time with her again.”
About: I would say that I’m a fairly laid back person who loves all animals and enjoys getting to know them and discovering their different personalities. They’re kind of like excited toddlers in that way. Each having their own unique personalities and needs. I’d love to have pets of my own one day and until then am excited to help others care for their own 🤍✨ I’m currently working as a baker in one of the local hospitals so my mornings are fairly limited. However I available for some early afternoon or late evening love from your pups! I’m also using this as an opportunity to see if I’ll be ready for a pet companion of my own in the near future as I’m still figuring this life and adulthood thing out! I currently live in a townhome with a small back patio; while I do offer boarding services, I’ve found that pets tend to be more at ease in their own homes more often than not.
“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.”
“Estefania was very sweet and I as able to walk my puppy twice at the last minute. I appreciate her quick responses and pictures she took of my honey. We will definitely keep using her in the future if needed!”
