“Kathy was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. When I travel, its usually hectic and she was able to let me drop of 30 minutes early. She sent tons of photos and updates. Allowed my boys to have tons of playtime with her dogs. They went right to sleep once we got home. Very happy with how she treats them.”
“Charles was fantastic with Frankie. He was easy to communicate with both before and during the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. He even sent us a picture while we were away, which we really appreciated. Frankie was clearly well cared for, and we would absolutely book with Charles again. Highly recommend.”
“Jamie was awesome! She sent updates and photos daily and she made sure to give my energetic pup a lot of exercise. I could tell my boy was well taken care of and enjoyed his stay. I highly recommend Jamie and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Rhona was great! She took care of Zeus like he was her own and sent updates and pictures. She has a perfect fenced in backyard and Zeus had a blast running around and playing. I highly recommend Rhona's as the place to board your pet.”
“Carrie was/is absolutely amazing! She loved on our sweet girl and gave her all the cuddles as if she were her own. She was very communicative and we were very appreciative of the photo and video updates we received daily. She is hands down the best. Thank you so much for being a home away from home for our Finley.”
“Anamika takes good care of my furbaby! Regularly sends updates and pictures. Giving me the peace of mind that he’s in good hands. He has lots of friends to play with and receives all the love.”
“I wish I could give Norma more than five stars! She truly has a gift for working with animals. Max has never stayed with a sitter and has not been around many other dogs. Although timid at first, with Norma's care and patience, he adjusted perfectly! We loved getting daily updates and pictures. It was so wonderful to be able to relax on vacation, knowing that Max was in such good, capable hands! We will definitely book with Norma again and again. We can not recommend her enough!!”
“Itzel was so great with our pup. She was very communicative and sent pics every day. We could tell she loved him and he was taken care of while he was there. Thanks so much!”
“I am a little late in giving this review on Komani. She is such a humble person. She took a last minute request and greeted me with a warm smile. She took good care of Buster and I plan on using her again in the future.”
“They were great. Made me feel very comfortable about leaving Badu with them and kept me updated with pictures and comments throughout the whole stay. I would highly recommend using their services!”
“Had last minute plans & she accommodated me with a quick turn around & her service is great! She keeps you updated about your pet & offers great grooming services. I would rebook!”
“Mike was great, he was communicative and trustworthy. He sent updates every day he took care of our dog Grizzly. Grizzly had a great time and he even did some training work with him which was really appreciated. Would definitely recommend him for any type of dog care!”
“Debora was great! She too took my dog in as if it was her own and I was at ease leaving her in good hands. This was my first time boarding my dog but if I need to board my dog again I would want to use Debora. Thank you so much!”
“Kevin was fantastic! Very quick to respond both leading up to the stay and throughout my dog Oscar's stay with him. He has a great backyard which was perfect for Oscar who can be a bit reactive on walks. And he really seems to have a deep love for all dogs! Oscar came back tired and happy!”
“Emilia was so wonderful. She accepted a last minute booking for me and was a great communicator. Although my doggie was a little nervous at first, Emilia reassured me he would be okay, and he did settle down! Would definitely book with her again!”
“Nancy was a blessing 🙏We were so fortunate to be able to find her. She and her family looked after our precious little fella impeccably! She met us straight away to see if we were a good fit and kept communicating throughout with photos and comments. He adjusted so quickly and fit in like part of their family. I could see from the photos how much care and love they gave him and the freedom he always had to roam in the garden, rest anywhere and the safety he felt with them be g at home! Thank you again Nancy! I’m sure Corey is looking forward to kisses and cuddles again soon 🫶🤗🥰”

About: I have always loved animals & have had many different pets throughout my life since childhood. I started my first job in the kennel of a vet clinic in 2014. Since then, I’ve worked in multiple other veterinary kennels, a few doggy daycares, and spent a few years managing the kennel for a breeder. I also have about 3 years experience as a veterinary assistant, so I have met all kinds of personalities!
“Kathy took really good care of my Snickers <3 This was my first time leaving her alone and I was nervous, but it went well and she seems very well taken care of. I’m so happy about how this went and will definitely ask for Kathy again in the future!”
“He accommodated his schedule to fit out pet’s needs. Kept communication and wrote daily updates on my pets! Plenty of pictures which I loved. I appreciate his knowledge and willingness to work with exotic animals! We appreciate you”
About: As a pet owner from birth, I don't know a world without loving animals. Whether it be your fish or dogs I will treat them with the utmost respect and patience! I have two dogs of my own, a morning walk before work and a late evening walk after dinner are musts for my pups. Let me know your routine and we will stay with it! I have a large fenced in back yard for my boys to play, friends are very welcome! I can crate and keep your pet separate if need be though!
“Mackenzie took care of our cat for a week. We found Mackenzie on Rover and had an excellent experience from start to finish. It was very easy to contact and communicate with her. When we met her, Mackenzie was very professional and asked a lot of questions. While we were gone, Mackenzie was extremely reliable and took really good care of our cat: Keeping him fed, cleaned, and taking the time to play and cuddle. She also send us daily videos and pictures, giving us peace of mind. Our cat was in great spirits when we returned and it was obvious that she kept his littbox and food bowl clean. Overall, Mackenzie did an outstanding job and I would definitely love to work with her again in the future.”
About: I’ve had cats in my life for as long as I can remember. I’m currently a veterinary assistant and the one they look for when they need a cat whisperer. I’m very confident in administering medications, including insulin. I love each and every cat I meet as if they’re my very own.
“Lyndsey was amazing! She went above and beyond for the check-ins with my cats. Every day she wrote me down what she did and sent plenty of pictures. What was more and unexpected was how thorough she was. I also found a kitten the day before she helped out and gave him his medication and eye ointment daily. I am so happy I found someone to trust!”
About: Hello, my name is Sophia, and I’ve grown up in a household full of pets, both big and small. I have extensive experience with cat and dog sitting and truly enjoy caring for animals. Throughout college, I cared for pets of all kinds, including puppies. I’m very active and love spending time outdoors, so your pets will receive plenty of attention and playtime. I’ve built lasting relationships with regular clients over the years and am always happy to care for returning pets, giving you peace of mind while you’re away on trips or outings. I recently graduated and currently work remotely for an internship, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m able to spend plenty of time with pets throughout the day, even while working on my laptop. I’m not someone who sits still for long, so your pets will receive lots of attention, care, and companionship. At home, I currently have one cat and three dogs who are all very loved and well cared for. As someone who enjoys being outdoors, I make sure my pets get plenty of walks and activity even when it’s cold or raining! We also have a backyard and access to a nearby park for extra fun. When caring for your pet, I would ensure they are well fed, comfortable, and fully adjusted to the routine you set, so they receive the care they need to be their happiest.
“Danielle did an excellent job taking care of my kitties while I was away. She was considerate and attentive. She sent lots of pictures made sure my kitties were loved on and taken care of while I was away. I would recommend her service and will be rebooking with her in the future!!”
“Brittany has been incredible with our little quarantine cat! This was my first time leaving my cat overnight and she tends to not welcome strangers but Brittany treated her with so much patience and love! She’s very responsive and takes amazing photos of your pet during her visits! Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Michelle is always so attentive and knows exactly what our cat wants. She leaves detailed messages and you can tell she really cares for our pet! I will definitely use her again!! :)”
About: My experience with feline care is lifelong, having been raised in a household dedicated to both indoor and outdoor cats. This history has provided me with a deep understanding of feline behavior—recognizing the nuance between a cat that craves active play and one that prefers quiet, respectful companionship. While my current home is cat-free, I find great professional and personal fulfillment in providing high-quality care for my feline clients. Whether it is maintaining a precise feeding schedule, managing litter box hygiene with diligence, or simply offering the focused 'quality time' that cats require to feel secure while their owners are away, I treat every cat with the same level of intuition and care I developed over 10+ years of personal ownership.
“Wonderful and attentive! The first person we have trusted with our babies since moving here! If my cats like her, she’s great (they don’t like many people) Will definitely book again!”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and reliable pet sitter with over four years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I’ve worked with large, medium, and small dogs, as well as cats, and I’m also comfortable caring for reptiles and aquatic pets—including turtles, fish, and bearded dragons. I take pride in being attentive, patient, and dependable, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether you need daily visits, overnight care, or help sticking to a detailed routine, you can count on me to provide consistent, compassionate care I am free on weekends and have the summer off so I will also be available during the week. Can come multiple times a day with a flexible schedule that can meet your needs. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, whether that means high-energy walks, gentle care for shy animals, or maintaining specific feeding and habitat routines for reptiles and fish. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Fantastic. Theo and Lena had so much fun with Ashley while I was gone. I felt as if I did not have to worry about them at all while I was away. This was my first time using Ashley and Rover and it was a great experience. Already rebooked Ashley for my next trip. Thank you.”
“Jackie is the sweetest and my very unsocialized pups just adored her! I appreciate her playing with them and snuggling them and treating them like they are her own. 10/10 would 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!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Rachel was fantastic with me needing to book Cricket within days while being a new client and even being able to do a meet and greet the day I booked! Her flexibility was great. I gave her the run about cricket and her being dog reactive and Rachel ensured me that she would make sure Cricket would not interact with other dogs. When I picked her up Rachel was ready with her and gave me an entire summary of how cricket did and how she adjusted to a new environment. She even gave us a referral to a trainer to help with her reactivity! It was a success and we will be returning!”
“Lyndsey is WONDERFUL with Molly. She’s very loving and kind and is very knowledgeable regarding proper care of our pets. Molly comes home very happy and tired. She always has a great time!!”

About: Hi! I’m Kamoni, and I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I have a friendly dog named Hazel who loves other dogs, so your pup will always have a buddy to play with! I work part-time, so I’m home most days to give your dog plenty of attention, care, and love.

About: I’ve raised 2 dogs of my own since they were puppies and one is now a senior. I have received many compliments of being the best dog mom but I am also a very attentive and responsible pet sitter. I have taken care of cats and dogs alike and I truly love and care for them like they are my own. I have plenty of time to care for your pets during the day or evening. I am more of a morning person for sure but I am very flexible. I have a fenced in front and back yard which makes it easy to let dogs outside. I am also very active so walking or running is no problem.
“Debora was absolutely amazing! She sent photos and little updates to let me know that Bourbon was doing great throughout the day. Bourbon had such a great time he passed out when he got home. I would 100% recommend Debora and her beautiful home to anyone looking for a little help with their fur baby.”
About: I always hear people talk about the love of their pet. I understand how that feels since I now have a fur baby of my own. I work from home for the most part; therefore, I have the ability to give your fur baby the attention and care that they deserve. Pet love is the purest form of love. I have a fenced in big back yard with plenty of room for your fur baby to run and play. I also have a cozy and clean indoor space where your baby can rest and feel at home.

About: I treat every pet as if they were my own. I give real updates with photos, stick to routines, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals — it’s not just a job for me. While I don’t have a pet of my own right now, animals have always been a natural part of my daily life. I regularly help friends and neighbors with their pets, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy — not a chore. My schedule is flexible and consistent, which means your pet gets reliable attention, walks, and care at the same time every day. I’m the type of person who lights up around animals, and that energy shows in how I care for them. I believe every pet deserves patient, attentive care tailored to their personality. I always follow the owner’s routine and instructions closely — feeding schedules, walk times, favorite toys, and any special needs. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection throughout the day.
About: I’ve always been around dogs. Since I was born until now! Its ranged from doberman, beagle, to now german Shepard. Im qualified to care for any dog no matter the size! I work full time currently BUT I do work from home so I would not mind a little friend by my side! I’ll make sure they’re fed and with enough water. We can schedule walks since I also need some breaks throughout the day! My yard is not fenced yet. I have one cat! so it will be me, Hallee and your cute pup!(and maybe a friend sometimes).

About: I work fully from home and since I will be home more this year, I'd love to care for your pets! I have experience with petsitting on rover during my college years, both with boarding and drop-ins, and have house-sat in the past couple of years outside of Rover. I have 3 cats myself but I have also had pets since I was a child including a dog, horse, and chinchilla. For house sitting my partner and I are both available for overnights, especially with multiple dogs. I am a remote worker and have the flexibility to adjust my schedule as needed throughout the day for check-ins or housesitting and petsitting stays. I will treat your pets like my own. I wash my cats bowls every day after they eat, fill up their water and make sure it's clean, keep the litter clean, and make sure to play with them and give them enough attention. For dogs I will also make sure to regularly let them out, or walk them. I'm also a plant mom and can water your plants if needed.

About: I used to work in a Petshotel taking care of dogs and cats. I have a passion for making animals happy and providing them the the proper care they need. I can administer medications in a variety of ways and have been able to monitor multiple dogs at once during playtimes. I have had 10 dogs in my lifetime, and I can't wait to meet even more. I ask that I meet every pet before hand to make sure we will be a good fit before providing services. I recently graduated with my masters, so I am on the hunt for a full time job. Currently my availability is fully open, but is subject to change later. I had dog-sat many of times before and am extremely respectful of other's property and how they choose to take care of their pet. I like to send pictures of people's pets to them while they are away so they can relax knowing they are in good care.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. From a variety of small to big dogs. My friends and family rely on me to keep them during vacation and for some play time when they like to have a break. My weekly pet care routine is fun because I mix responsibility with play. I keep feeding and grooming on a consistent schedule, but I add variety with walks in different places, new toys, and short training games. It helps my pet stay happy and keeps the routine from feeling repetitive. I make sure everything is cleaned and organized so my furry baby is not getting into mess. I keep the doors closed when not in the room. Everything is puppy proofed.
About: Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile. I hope you find what you are looking for here, and please feel free to reach out if you have further inquiries. I typically to respond to customers (both present and potential!) within 30 minutes between the hours of 7 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. My name is Samm, I am 29 years old & live in downtown Kannapolis, and I'm the licensed & insured sitter you've been searching for! While there are many great sitters on Rover, what sets me aside from others is I am licensed and insured (privately- beyond the "Rover Guarantee"). Your safest and most secure bet for your pet will always be with me- check out my reviews! I have been professionally using Rover since 2015. I built my client base in Charlotte and loved every single one of my clients- both pups and parents. I took a hiatus due to COVID and moved from south Charlotte to Kannapolis, and am now opening my services back up to welcome in new clients in the area. While many Rover sitters specialize in dogs, I have experience with all walks of life when it comes to pets- dogs, cats, fish (saltwater and freshwater tanks), birds (including fowl such as chickens, geese, ducks, etc.), reptiles and amphibians (yes even snakes!) so rest assured that whatever pets you have, they will be in loving and experienced hands when in my care. While I am not a paid dog trainer, I do love to work with my clients puppies (young and old) on reinforcing their training as per their parents desires. This ranges from crate training to leash pulling to general obedience, and everything in between. I understand that as a pet parent, you know best for your pup and their home environment. Please do not be afraid to add in special "requests" as such when booking with me. I have a vast amount of experience with senior dogs and dogs who live with disabilities. I am able to administer medications in a timely manner (pills, liquids, and injections) when required, and I am trained in first aid in the event of an emergency. I am currently studying engineering and have a flexible schedule outside of my studies. I would love to fill my spare time doting on your pets! 9 times out of 10, I am able to arrange to accommodate your schedule when given a sufficient notice. I am currently no longer offering overnights or daycare to new clients at my home, as we now have chickens and ducks as pets in our backyard. While our birds are acclimated and unphased by our dogs, there is always a possibility that our birds can trigger a prey drive in unacquainted dogs. While I can survive the heartache of losing a chicken (EVERYTHING hunts chickens around here!), chicken bones can pose a very serious and potentially deadly threat to dogs when ingested. So, for everyone's safety, I am currently only offering services outside of my home. As such, I am available for drop-in visits in your home, walks, as well as house sitting. Please read on for what you can expect out of each type of visit in your home, and as always, reach out at any time for further information if needed. Walks: I offer 30 minute or 1 hour walks. This service is perfect for those who work or are out of the house, but need someone to help with making sure their pet gets exercise and a potty break. 30 minute walks are typically 0.5 miles to 1 mile in distance, sometimes more or less depending upon your dogs size and energy levels. A 1 hour walk is usually ~2 miles. During these visits, my main priority is getting your dog outside and nicely tired out so you can enjoy your day uninterrupted. I will make sure your dog gets a potty break while we are out, so all you have to worry about afterwards is where your dog wants to take their nap :) Drop-In Visits: I currently offer 30 minute and 1 hour drop-in visits. This is typically what an owner will book me for if they are out of town and need a sitter to drop in and make sure the household and pets are doing well. During this time, my first priority is medication administration, if applicable. Second to that in priority is ensuring your pup gets to relieve themselves. Please specify if you prefer your dog use your yard, or if you would like for us to take a stroll around the neighborhood. I take 15-20 minutes of walk or backyard play for 30 minute visits, and about 30-40 minutes for hour visits. The remainder of my visit will be to replenish food and water, give treats, pets, and attention, and clean up any messes that may have occurred. Please note that this is MY general outline- if you have a different routine you'd like me to follow that works better for you and your pet, simply notify me of such and I will be more than happy to follow your procedures. House Sitting: I will be staying overnight in your home and provide daily care and company for your pets and home. I will provide my own food, toiletries, personal items, etc., so you will only have to worry about and focus on gathering what your pet needs while you are away. Please note that I will not be at your home 24 hours a day. I will likely have to leave for class or to tend to my pets at home. If you need constant care at home for your pet, I am able to arrange for that to happen at an additional cost- please just let me know in your original booking inquiry. With a house sitting booking, you can expect me to perform all the everyday activities your pet requires. This includes timely administration of medications, sticking to your desired feeding routine, and as many walks and playtimes as you desire. Please let me know the desired duration of walks/play as I do not want to overexert your pet, or alternatively, not give them enough exercise. Light housekeeping will be performed- plants will be watered, mail will be taken in daily, sweeping/vacuuming fur and dirt, and general cleaning up after your pet in the event of messes. I make sure that your home is in the same or better condition as when you left it. I do not smoke or drink and will not be bringing unauthorized persons onto your property. Typically I send one update (accompanied by pet photos) per day around the afternoon. If you would like more- no problem! Just inform me of such and I am happy to keep you as much in-the-loop as you desire.
About: I’ve got cats of my own, they’re like my children. I’ve dealt with cats in heat and raising them from babies. Patience is important (: I’m available 24/7 for any care needed! Need a last minute sitter? I’ll be there! I only work part time so I’ve got all the time in the world for your fur babies. I live in an apartment complex, I have a balcony on the first floor with lots of room to walk and take potty breaks. I have 4 cats to keep your babies company.
About: I have always been around various animals growing up, and personally had cats and dogs in my family who were/are practically my “fur” siblings, who I helped care for. At 15 I started watching other people’s pets when they would go out of town for the night or weekend. I still help care for my parent’s pets, including my 15-year-old pit-lab mix who just likes to relax and has to take certain medicines, and a 2-year-old cat who thinks she’s still a kitten and is highly energetic. I personally have two cats too, and I still regularly pet sit for various animals of various ages for friends and family! I am currently working full time in the Charlotte area but if I have enough notice I am able to work from home for house sitting during the day! Otherwise I can do drop ins, night house sittings and weekend house sittings :) I will make sure to get any and all questions or concerns addressed to make sure your pet receives the best care possible while they’re with me, including medications and times for those medications, feeding amounts and times, specific walking areas, certain tasks or expectations needed for your pet, etc.

“Charles was fantastic with Frankie. He was easy to communicate with both before and during the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. He even sent us a picture while we were away, which we really appreciated. Frankie was clearly well cared for, and we would absolutely book with Charles again. Highly recommend.”
“Jamie was awesome! She sent updates and photos daily and she made sure to give my energetic pup a lot of exercise. I could tell my boy was well taken care of and enjoyed his stay. I highly recommend Jamie and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Anamika takes good care of my furbaby! Regularly sends updates and pictures. Giving me the peace of mind that he’s in good hands. He has lots of friends to play with and receives all the love.”
“I wish I could give Norma more than five stars! She truly has a gift for working with animals. Max has never stayed with a sitter and has not been around many other dogs. Although timid at first, with Norma's care and patience, he adjusted perfectly! We loved getting daily updates and pictures. It was so wonderful to be able to relax on vacation, knowing that Max was in such good, capable hands! We will definitely book with Norma again and again. We can not recommend her enough!!”
“Mike was great, he was communicative and trustworthy. He sent updates every day he took care of our dog Grizzly. Grizzly had a great time and he even did some training work with him which was really appreciated. Would definitely recommend him for any type of dog care!”
“Kevin was fantastic! Very quick to respond both leading up to the stay and throughout my dog Oscar's stay with him. He has a great backyard which was perfect for Oscar who can be a bit reactive on walks. And he really seems to have a deep love for all dogs! Oscar came back tired and happy!”
“Emilia was so wonderful. She accepted a last minute booking for me and was a great communicator. Although my doggie was a little nervous at first, Emilia reassured me he would be okay, and he did settle down! Would definitely book with her again!”
“I am so happy I found Mckenna, she has been a blessing to my little devil Cherish. Cherish has separation issues and had never left my side before I had to travel for business. I believe McKenna was able to win her trust and to bring out the little devil personality of a happy playful dog. McKenna showed great patience with Cherish's strong personality. I believe Cherish has found a friend for life with Mckenna and her family.”
“Rachel and her family made our Bella feel like she was at her 2nd home. Absolutely would recommend her services! Great people and it’s obvious they love dogs. Thank you Rachel for being there for us on such short notice.”
“We left our dog with Bri for the first time for 5 days. She was accommodating and sent updates with pictures every day. Our dog did well with her and her dogs and family. I would happily use Bri again.”
“Ariel was so fabulous! I had to book at the last minute due to an emergency at home and being in vacation. She was nice enough to go pick up Ash. She kept me updated with pictures on how he’s doing. I will definitely rebook her.”
“Crystal is very reliable, friendly and trustworthy! our high energy dog loves staying with her and her pup Benji! Lots of pictures and updates while he is there so I know he is having a good time.”
“Margaret took great care of our senior golden. He got to go for long walks and play with her sweet dog. I don’t think I he wanted to come home! We will gladly ask to to care for our pup again in the future.”
“Whitney is such a nice person and took great care of my dogs. I am so happy to have found her and appreciative of the great care she took of my dogs. Can’t wait to use her again!”
“Karen did an absolutely amazing job caring for Bucky! From the moment we met her, it was clear how genuinely kind, attentive, and dependable she is. She treated Bucky like her own, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. Her updates gave us complete peace of mind, and we could tell Bucky was relaxed and content in her care. It’s not easy to fully trust someone with your pet, but Karen exceeded every expectation. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and exceptional sitter.”
