“We had a fantastic experience with Brittany! They took such great care of our Cooke while we were away—sending regular updates, photos, and making sure all of our pup’s needs were met. It was clear from the start that they genuinely care about animals and treated our dog like family. When we came to pick Cooke up he was so happy and relaxed. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy sitter!”
“Kathy and her crew took extra special care of our boy Nikko. He will be returning to his favorite spot soon. She has a wonderful outdoor area and furry friends to keep your special ones company.”
“Rachel was a phenomenal sitter. We were initially nervous about leaving our 3 pups for a 4-day visit but Rachel made the process as painless as possible for us. I was especially worried that my doggie would be too anxious to enjoy their stay; however I quickly learned that would not be an issue. Not only is she extremely efficient at taking care of your fur baby, she has a passion for animals I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed before. Please book with her if you get the chance, you will NOT regret it! Thank you again Rachel, we’ll see you soon 💙.”
“Ashley was so great! I just moved to the area but previously used Rover in TN. Ashley was very responsive and kept me updated with how Brody was doing with text and photos. It’s so comforting having someone so attentive keep my boy while I’m out of town. I will definitely be using Ashley again in the future! Thanks so much ?”
“Ava was outstanding! She and her family treated my dog like family; I got consistent updates and plenty of great pictures. Sorry this is long overdue we boarded back in December for a vacation and would definitely recommend them.”
“Jamie and her family watched our Golden for 4 days and it went beautifully! Great yard, great communication, her kids and dogs seemed to mesh well with Lemon. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Anamika took wonderful care of my fur-baby! He has some special needs and she happily accommodated them. I got regular updates and pictures during his stay. Looking forward to having her watch him again in the future.”
“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!”
“Emilia took very good care of baby Lima, she always kept in touch with me sending photos and videos every day to know how my baby is, that was excellent for me because it was the first time I separated from her and I had the peace of mind to leave him with Emilia. A thousand times I would leave him with her again when I can't take baby Lima on a trip. I recommend 100% and with my eyes closed their service. I am satisfied with their service and I was calm during my trip because Lima was very well taken care of all the time. She's wonderful!! :)”
“Lipika did a wonderful job watching Maple. Maple appeared comfortable at all times around her, and I would trust her anytime with my dogs! She sent frequent updates, accompanied by photos and videos, and she made sure to take note of her poops and behavior in case there were any potential health concerns. Maple also enjoyed playing with Lipika’s daughter, which I’m sure Maple loved. If you’re looking for a communicative and thoughtful sitter, Lipika should be your go-to!”
“Sierra was so great with my energetic Great Dane! She kept me updated and sent pictures during his stay! She is very accommodating and I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby with her! Cash came back exhausted from all the play time and fun that he had during his stay!”
“Our dog had never stayed with someone else, and she is a clinger to us, so we were not sure how well she would do. Emily and Tyon took such incredible care of her- she felt right at home playing ball with the kids, cuddling on the couch, and going for walks. We would absolutely use their services again in the future! I can’t recommend them enough :)”
“Leslye has been heaven sent for my pup and I. She’s truly amazing. Polos tail immediately begins to wag when he knows he’s there ; which means comfort. We’ve used her over and over again and hopefully that won’t change. Thanks Leslye for all that you do to accommodate our last minute lives. Thank you for taking Polo into your home at ease.”
About: I provide a true home-away-from-home experience. I intentionally keep the number of boarding dogs small so every guest receives personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection. Dogs stay in a safe, family environment instead of a crowded boarding facility, and I treat every dog like one of my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your best friend, so I provide daily photo updates and make sure every dog feels comfortable, loved, and cared for throughout their stay. I am currently in nursing school and have a pretty flexible schedule. Thankfully, a lot of my schooling is done from home with the exception of in person clinicals, but your furry friend will always have someone here with them! Rather than caring for large groups of dogs, I host only one family’s dogs at a time. This creates a calmer, safer environment and allows me to provide truly personalized care. Guests enjoy supervised play in a securely fenced yard, plenty of indoor time, and the same love and attention my own dogs receive. My goal is for you to relax on your trip knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and right at home.
“Sindhu and her family were awesome! She was very responsive, sent lots of photos, and I felt comfortable with my dog with her. He seemed to have a great time! She was very nice!”
“I can’t say enough positive things about my experience. I actually met and visited 3 other boarder’s homes from Rover before deciding. Her home is very clean and yet still very functional for caring for pets. Very kind, flexible, and interactive. I received photos and videos of my pets while they were with her. I felt absolutely comfortable leaving them in her care. I will definitely use her for my future needs.”
“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!”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and prefers a quieter approach, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently have cats of my own and have experience fostering, so I understand the patience and care that pets need to adjust and thrive. I work a full-time job, but I make pet care a priority and will always be upfront about my availability. My husband is also a dependable animal lover who is happy to help when appropriate, so your pets will always receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply providing companionship. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat them like family while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit.
“Caitlin was amazing! She sent me updated photos and videos of my Cle-girl everyday while I was on vacation. She was tentative and patient and gave great updates. Would highly recommend her!”
“I’m so glad we found Lyndsey to check on our kitten while we went out of town for a few days. She updated us each day, sent pictures, and went above and beyond (thank you smoke detector for conveniently dying while we were gone haha). We look forward to using her again in the future!”
“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!”
“Amanda was the best! She got both my cats to come out and they were so social with her. Both kitties loved her so much. We knew we could trust Amanda when we met her. She sent lots of pictures to us too. We will 100% be booking with Amanda again in the future! :)”
“Michelle always takes care of our kitty boys so well! We appreciate her communication and attentiveness. One of our boys takes meds and also needs a little extra patience to make sure his food/meds are eaten. She takes the time to sit with him and encourage him until he’s eaten most of it. Thanks, Michelle!”
“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!”
“I left my precious cat in Ashleys care and she is utterly terrified of people. I had no expectation that there would be any contact beyond basic feeding. Ashley blew my mind when she sent pictures of my cat laying in her lap and getting pets!! She genuinely has a way with animals. 5 stars!”
“Chase did everything we asked and our dogs were well taken care of. I appreciated how gentle he was in response to our girly’s barking. He spent extra time with them the first night and communicated when he had schedule changes.”
“Alyssa has cat sit for me twice now and has gone above and beyond to make sure my babies are well loved and taken care of while I was away! If you have the opportunity to book with her, you should!!”
“Great communication during the trip. Followed all my instructions for taking care of my kitties. Did not worry about my kitties at all during my vacation. Will definitely use again for future trips!”
“Jeremy is great! Took good care of my two cats while I was out of town. My girl cat was even social with him and she really never likes to come out for anyone that isn’t me (she will eat once the sitter leaves). Great communication.”
“Maylin was awesome. She came at the same time daily and followed all instructions for my cats medicine and diet. She is an elderly cat and it was very nice knowing someone took it as seriously as I do.”
“Ava was the best cat sitter we’ve ever had! She took amazing care of our 3 cats and went above and beyond the basic necessities. It was clear that my cats loved her from the pictures she sent. She was communicative, on-time, and thoughtful. My house looked very clean when I returned.”

“Ava did a great job watching Tofu while we were away during the day. She sent updates on how he was settling in. She was on time and had no problem communicating. Will definitely consider booking again and recommend her.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Rachel was great with our young puppy! She went above and beyond to help train him and take him off our hands for a day. She is very knowledgeable and send us the best videos. I’m happy we chose her to take care of our pup”
About: I’ve raised 2 dogs of my own since they were puppies and one is now a senior.

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.”
“Stacey is wonderful with dogs and has a very calming presence. Our rescue, Lola, never did well at day cares we tried and she LOVES to go to Stacey’s and see all of her friends!❤️”
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. I have a large fenced backyard for safe playtime, and dogs are welcome anywhere in my home—they’ll be treated like family. I always send updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. I accept bookings with at least 48 hours’ notice and look forward to caring for your puppy! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I plan my days around being available for walks, feeding, and quality time. I make sure pets get consistent attention and aren’t left alone for long. They have a safe, fenced yard for playtime and are welcome to relax anywhere inside. I stick to their usual routine for feeding, potty breaks, and care, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention.
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 have spent my whole life around dogs. My dad was a dog trainer in Alaska so I was able to learn a lot from him over the years. Since then my family has had our own dog which sadly passed away a year ago after 12 sweet years together. We have dog sat for friends and family over the years as our home makes a great space for dog sitting, but have not professionally dog sat before until now. We work from home so your pup will rarely be on their own. We also have a fenced back yard so they can play outside safely! We have three daughters that love to play with dogs so they will keep them perfectly entertained. We enjoy family walks in our neighborhood that your pup would join us on! We currently have no other pets after our sweet dog passed away a year ago. We miss having a dog in our home but aren’t ready for a new permanent pup so Rover seemed like a wonderful idea for our family. Your dog will be treated as our own with our girls being able to play with your pup in our fenced back yard.
“Kevin’s communication before and during his care of our precious cargo was wonderful. Thank you so much, we are so blessed to have crossed paths with you and will undoubtedly see you again.”

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.
“Alyssa is fantastic! Very responsive and kind. What a relief to find someone who loves dogs as much as we do. Our dog is pretty picky about who he likes and he adores her!”
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.

“We had a fantastic experience with Brittany! They took such great care of our Cooke while we were away—sending regular updates, photos, and making sure all of our pup’s needs were met. It was clear from the start that they genuinely care about animals and treated our dog like family. When we came to pick Cooke up he was so happy and relaxed. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy sitter!”
“Rachel was a phenomenal sitter. We were initially nervous about leaving our 3 pups for a 4-day visit but Rachel made the process as painless as possible for us. I was especially worried that my doggie would be too anxious to enjoy their stay; however I quickly learned that would not be an issue. Not only is she extremely efficient at taking care of your fur baby, she has a passion for animals I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed before. Please book with her if you get the chance, you will NOT regret it! Thank you again Rachel, we’ll see you soon 💙.”
“Jamie and her family watched our Golden for 4 days and it went beautifully! Great yard, great communication, her kids and dogs seemed to mesh well with Lemon. Highly recommend!”
“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!!”
“Anamika took wonderful care of my fur-baby! He has some special needs and she happily accommodated them. I got regular updates and pictures during his stay. Looking forward to having her watch him again in the future.”
“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!”
“Emilia took very good care of baby Lima, she always kept in touch with me sending photos and videos every day to know how my baby is, that was excellent for me because it was the first time I separated from her and I had the peace of mind to leave him with Emilia. A thousand times I would leave him with her again when I can't take baby Lima on a trip. I recommend 100% and with my eyes closed their service. I am satisfied with their service and I was calm during my trip because Lima was very well taken care of all the time. She's wonderful!! :)”
“Lipika did a wonderful job watching Maple. Maple appeared comfortable at all times around her, and I would trust her anytime with my dogs! She sent frequent updates, accompanied by photos and videos, and she made sure to take note of her poops and behavior in case there were any potential health concerns. Maple also enjoyed playing with Lipika’s daughter, which I’m sure Maple loved. If you’re looking for a communicative and thoughtful sitter, Lipika should be your go-to!”
“Sierra was so great with my energetic Great Dane! She kept me updated and sent pictures during his stay! She is very accommodating and I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby with her! Cash came back exhausted from all the play time and fun that he had during his stay!”
“Our dog had never stayed with someone else, and she is a clinger to us, so we were not sure how well she would do. Emily and Tyon took such incredible care of her- she felt right at home playing ball with the kids, cuddling on the couch, and going for walks. We would absolutely use their services again in the future! I can’t recommend them enough :)”
About: I provide a true home-away-from-home experience. I intentionally keep the number of boarding dogs small so every guest receives personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection. Dogs stay in a safe, family environment instead of a crowded boarding facility, and I treat every dog like one of my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your best friend, so I provide daily photo updates and make sure every dog feels comfortable, loved, and cared for throughout their stay. I am currently in nursing school and have a pretty flexible schedule. Thankfully, a lot of my schooling is done from home with the exception of in person clinicals, but your furry friend will always have someone here with them! Rather than caring for large groups of dogs, I host only one family’s dogs at a time. This creates a calmer, safer environment and allows me to provide truly personalized care. Guests enjoy supervised play in a securely fenced yard, plenty of indoor time, and the same love and attention my own dogs receive. My goal is for you to relax on your trip knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and right at home.
“Sindhu and her family were awesome! She was very responsive, sent lots of photos, and I felt comfortable with my dog with her. He seemed to have a great time! She was very nice!”
“My pup Cosmo loved staying with Karen and always has a great time. Very prompt in communicating and sending pictures of the pup. Cosmo runs to her house while dropping him off clearly shows how much he enjoys Karen's company. As a pet owner it gives me a peace of mind leaving my pup with Karen. 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!”
“Maggie was a great find on Rover! She is close by; very attentive to our and our doxipoo’s needs while she stayed at Maggie’s home for a week. She sent many pictures and provided updates regularly. Would definitely use her services again! 5 star!!”
“Jessie and her family were amazing with Maggie! We received daily updates and pictures of their walks, cuddles, and playtimes. They welcomed Maggie as one of their family! We will definitely use Jessie again.”
“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.”
“This was my first time leaving our lab Abby with anyone but family. Abby was immediately comfortable with his home and pet family. Mike sent me pictures and a short video of Abby over the time she was there. It helped me be comfortable on our trip and not worry about her. Good communication and flexible on pick up. Would use again. Thanks Mike.”
