“Phoebe had a great time with Leslie and we were much less stressed about her comfort than we would have been in a kennel. She was able to do everything at Leslie's she was used to doing at home.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch my dog, Moura, for five days. They always had someone at home, gave her constant attention, and treated her like part of their family. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“I have booked with Kathy a number of times. Bella comes home happy and obviously well cared for. I think Bella would have preferred to bring Kathy's Charlie home with us!”
“Ms. Jeanette is by far my favorite pet sitter! She’s kind and attentive and I know my baby is in good hands with her. She is always my first option when choosing a pet sitter”
“Dana is the best! We had to go out of town last minute for a couple of nights and she happily watched our dog without question. She sent multiple updates each day and even gave him new toys to play with while he was there. He was a happy boy when we picked him up!”
“Itzel did a wonderful job with my high-energy puppy & older dog. She made sure they were comfortable and safe during their stay, and sent daily updates wittr pictures. I would definitely recommend her without hesitation:)”
“We cannot thank Elizabeth and Kevin enough for watching our dog, Sadie, for the past two weeks! We received daily pictures and updates that made us thrilled. We also had numerous flights cancelled on our travel home. Elizabeth and Kevin were able to accommodate without missing a beat! Sadie is looking to her next visit.”
“Great experience! She was very flexible and took great care of William. He did very well on his extended visit and she was easy to communicate and work with would totally book this sitter again!”
“We used Amy & Ross for a trial night, but this time we came back for a stay for a little longer than a week. We are very grateful we were able to take a trip and not stress about Rocky being well cared for. We appreciated the photo updates and responses to any messages. Highly recommend Amy as a sitter and will be using for future needs as long as they will take Rocky! Thanks again! :)”
“I give 5 stars!! We used Kelly for the first time for both our dogs. We had another Rover sitter cancel on us last minute and Kelly was available for us even though she never met the dogs. She had a very organized set up and routines which I was impressed with. She is very knowledgeable about dogs & their behaviors. She gave us some pics & updates during their stay. I was very comfortable leaving them with her and will def use her in the future. My pup came home and passed out for about 14hrs straight because of all the play time they had there.”
“If I could give more stars I would! Talk about an amazing family... London made my 2 large fur babies feel like family right from the meet and greet we did with her. She made us feel safe leaving them with her and her family and it was so nice getting to meet everyone that they would be around while we were gone. She catered to there every need...and want lol! We would recommend London to the million degree and look forward to Bear and Freyja staying with her again soon.”
“Amazing sitter! Got a lot of updates which really eased my anxieties about leaving my puppy. She was super kind and made sure that I knew she was ok throughout my whole trip. She went above and beyond by brushing her and walking her multiple times a day. If you’re looking for a sitter I would recommend her any day.”
“Christal was quick to respond and very communicative while my pup was with her family! Lots of love and cuddles were given and my pup came home tired and happy! I hope we can board with Christal again!”
“Her and her family were AMAZING! She sent updates, pics and videos throughout each day. I always knew what Rain was up to. I will 100% be asking her to watch our pup again!”
“Daniel is so wonderful and a true dog lover. Our dog had such a great time with him and he sends updates throughout the stay that are so great. We used to board our dog and it would take days for him to get back to normal but we picked up the same dog we dropped off. Highly recommend him and will use him moving forward.”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Our dog just turned one and we had boarded her at a commercial facility and a home atmosphere appealed to us as an alternative so we tried it out. Alyssa and Spencer are fantastic. We met with them beforehand just to ease our concerns and the weekend went so well that we rebooked for two more trips this summer. We highly recommend them!”
“Amazing! Annie was so accommodating and easy to work with. She was so personable and I caught myself just wanting to chat with her about hockey. If I’m in the area again we will definitely use her again!”
“Carolina and her family took wonderful care of our pup while we were away. She has an amazing set up and yard for the dogs to play. She sent daily updates with pictures and video. Our pup was very happy during his stay.”

“As usually, Kim gave me piece of mind during my time away from home, and gave love and care that my two kitties needed in my absence. I am so happy I met you Kim!”
“Cameron did a fantastic job taking care of both my home and my tiny fury overlords! He took the time to get to know them, and I swear I think they were disappointed when I came back and Cameron left. 🤷🏼♂️ Will 100% be hiring him again for my upcoming trips.”
“Kim took great care of our cats with daily treats and pets. She also fed our fish, brought in our mail and brought up our trash can that we had left at the curb. She went above and beyond for us and was available to us very last minute. Kim thank you for watching our fur family for us! 10/10 recommend!”
“Thank you so much for caring and taking care of our cats!!! I really appreciate you caring about their safety and wellbeing as much as we do, and I genuinely appreciate all of the communications and pictures. We will definitely use you again!”
“We are so glad we found Anna! She is just the sweetest person and our cats love her (and one of our cats doesn’t like anyone!). Anna is flexible, punctual, and a great communicator. Highly recommend her and we will be using her again!”

“Very responsive ! Connects well with your pet/companion. My Autumn had a great time playing with her. Gave me peace of mind to know she is well taken care of while we are apart.”
“Courtney B did a fabulous job looking after a very skiddish feral cat. She was able to work very well with the kitty and made sure food was available for her while I was out of town. I would certainly have Courtney help again!”
“FANTASTIC! Wonderful personality and my kitties and Lovebird just adored her! We were just gone overnight, but she stayed with them, sent us picks and updates, and even threw my comforter in the washer when our little girl threw up on it, which she didn’t have to do!

“Kate was amazing! She was able to get us in last minute and my dog absolutely loved her (she sent pics of the puppy kisses). My dog came home happy (Kate even brought her home!) And tired from all her adventures. I was so nervous to leave my pupper with someone new, but Kate sent lots of pictures and my dog was clearly comfortable with her! Will absolutely use her again!”

“I booked Nickeyias for doggy daycare and she took amazing care of my Bintley. He felt completely comfortable with her and her family from the start, and she treated him like he was part of her family. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoyed his day. I already scheduled his next visit — highly recommend!”
About: Before bringing a dog into your family it is important to know how to take care of them. You need to provide love and affection and kindness. They are treated like family members. I enjoy playing with them in the backyard or in the house. Love to take them for walks if that is what is preferred. Keeps us both healthy. I love cuddling with them on the couch and petting them. They are such great company and love the loyalty they provide. I love all kinds of dogs they are smart and curious little guys. They must be taken to a vet to keep up with their shots and health. I don't like to feed them from the table and I always read articles on what is or what isn't good for them. I am home and I can be with your pet 24/7. I enjoy sitting and cuddling with the fur babies and sometimes my grandson who is 18 comes to visit he loves animals and just plays with them and will cuddle with them. I usually give the pet free range of the home and they usually love the freedom. I also allow them to watch tv dog shows. Lol

“Rachel was great with my dog Chance (60 lb Husky/ lab mix). I recently visited the Charlotte area and brought Chance with me. I was very nervous as I had not used Rover before and we were far from home. Rachel texted the day before to confirm, which put my mind at ease. Chance loved Rachel immediately. She was kind, loving and patient with Chance. She had excellent control over him on his walks and made his safety top priority. She was a strong communicator who gave us updates and pictures. If I ever return to Charlotte and need a dog walker or sitter, I would definitely rebook Rachel. I highly recommend her! 5 ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐ from me and Chance!!!”

About: I started pet and house sitting in 2015 and have loved caring for furry, feathered, and even scale-y friends ever since. As a farm kid through and through, I'm comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes and have experience caring for nearly every type of pet you can imagine. I don't shy away from big animals (or big messes!) I recently completed my graduate degree and became a nationally certified Physician Assistant. While my training is in human medicine, I have experience caring for pets with complex medical needs, including administering injections, medications, and subcutaneous fluids. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and attentive caring for your pets, especially when they require extra support. At home, I share my life with two cats, Winston and Franklin, one of whom is an FIP survivor. That experience has given me a firsthand appreciation for the trust pet owners place in their caregivers and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pets are in capable hands. If you're looking for a responsible, dependable professional to keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you're away, I'd be honored to help. Having recently completed graduate school, I currently have a very flexible schedule and can devote substantial time to caring for your pets. This allows me to provide attentive, personalized care and maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible.

I strive to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of companionship. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I understand the trust involved in leaving both your pets and your home in someone else's hands. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, so you can travel with peace of mind.

I look forward to working and taking care of your pet! During the summer I have more availability outside of when I am on vacation. For house sitting services, I am happy to provide overnight care for your pet. There will be times I will leave the home to run errands, go to work, family time and etc. But I will make sure that your pet’s routine is kept in tact and that they get all the snuggles and love they need.

I hope to one day be able to care and love your animal as if you were there. I work full time during the week but I am free all day during the weekends. I would be able to provide walks and daily care for your pet. I have two cats and one dog who are very loving to all humans and animals . I want your pet to feel comfortable while you are away.
About: I have had dogs all my life. As a RVT rest assured they will be taken care of while you are gone! I’m happy to exercise and entertain them while you are gone! I do work full time but can offer drop in services before and after work, as well as my lunch break. I am available any day of the week! I am a trained veterinary professional and feel comfortable with most set ups people have. I do not offer in home boarding or overnights. I am happy to work with the clients routine.
About: I’ve loved animals ever since I was little. I’ve worked for two dog kennels that have provided me with efficient responsibility for the fur babies of other individuals. I have a dog of my own whom I consider to be my best friend. Any time with a furry friend makes me happy. I have part time availability for the summer. I work a full time job during the year as an educator that has a set weekly schedule. I live in a home with my pets therefore I cannot provide day care. I can offer sitting and drop-in services. I can provide walks locally near your home or at a nearby park. I have plenty of references that will help you feel comfortable with my experience as an animal lover.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and currently have five! I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, so I’m happy to take care of all ages! I hope you let me watch your fur baby! I am currently home for the summer from college and work part-time at a dog boarding establishment! My schedule is pretty flexible and can do overnights. We can talk about if that works for you and your pup! When watching your fur baby I’ll take them on walks, play with toys, and make sure they have a great time while you’re away! I’ll make sure to follow any guidelines given and take the best care of them!
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life from my own pets to pets of friends and family, which includes being responsible for them from time to time. I’ve even had prior experience staying overnight and caring for animals that include dogs, cats, and chickens. I am a full time student in law school so my schedule depends on my classes and my school obligations for the week. However, I try hard to manage all bookings I get if the owners are willing to be flexible with times! I can care for your pet by walking them, playing with them, feeding them, hugging them, grooming them, and even staying with them overnight if that makes them more comfortable while you are away.

“Phoebe had a great time with Leslie and we were much less stressed about her comfort than we would have been in a kennel. She was able to do everything at Leslie's she was used to doing at home.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch my dog, Moura, for five days. They always had someone at home, gave her constant attention, and treated her like part of their family. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“Itzel did a wonderful job with my high-energy puppy & older dog. She made sure they were comfortable and safe during their stay, and sent daily updates wittr pictures. I would definitely recommend her without hesitation:)”
“We cannot thank Elizabeth and Kevin enough for watching our dog, Sadie, for the past two weeks! We received daily pictures and updates that made us thrilled. We also had numerous flights cancelled on our travel home. Elizabeth and Kevin were able to accommodate without missing a beat! Sadie is looking to her next visit.”
“Great experience! She was very flexible and took great care of William. He did very well on his extended visit and she was easy to communicate and work with would totally book this sitter again!”
“We used Amy & Ross for a trial night, but this time we came back for a stay for a little longer than a week. We are very grateful we were able to take a trip and not stress about Rocky being well cared for. We appreciated the photo updates and responses to any messages. Highly recommend Amy as a sitter and will be using for future needs as long as they will take Rocky! Thanks again! :)”
“I give 5 stars!! We used Kelly for the first time for both our dogs. We had another Rover sitter cancel on us last minute and Kelly was available for us even though she never met the dogs. She had a very organized set up and routines which I was impressed with. She is very knowledgeable about dogs & their behaviors. She gave us some pics & updates during their stay. I was very comfortable leaving them with her and will def use her in the future. My pup came home and passed out for about 14hrs straight because of all the play time they had there.”
“If I could give more stars I would! Talk about an amazing family... London made my 2 large fur babies feel like family right from the meet and greet we did with her. She made us feel safe leaving them with her and her family and it was so nice getting to meet everyone that they would be around while we were gone. She catered to there every need...and want lol! We would recommend London to the million degree and look forward to Bear and Freyja staying with her again soon.”
“Amazing sitter! Got a lot of updates which really eased my anxieties about leaving my puppy. She was super kind and made sure that I knew she was ok throughout my whole trip. She went above and beyond by brushing her and walking her multiple times a day. If you’re looking for a sitter I would recommend her any day.”
“Her and her family were AMAZING! She sent updates, pics and videos throughout each day. I always knew what Rain was up to. I will 100% be asking her to watch our pup again!”
“Daniel is so wonderful and a true dog lover. Our dog had such a great time with him and he sends updates throughout the stay that are so great. We used to board our dog and it would take days for him to get back to normal but we picked up the same dog we dropped off. Highly recommend him and will use him moving forward.”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Our dog just turned one and we had boarded her at a commercial facility and a home atmosphere appealed to us as an alternative so we tried it out. Alyssa and Spencer are fantastic. We met with them beforehand just to ease our concerns and the weekend went so well that we rebooked for two more trips this summer. We highly recommend them!”
“Carolina and her family took wonderful care of our pup while we were away. She has an amazing set up and yard for the dogs to play. She sent daily updates with pictures and video. Our pup was very happy during his stay.”
“Lipika and her husband did great with my pup for the past week. They allowed her to feel comfortable and safe. My pup had friends to play with while she was there and I think she enjoyed her stay quite a bit. They accomodated my delayed flight and when I picked up my pup she was nicely brushed and a happy girl. I would be very happy to board with them again in the future.”
“Cheryl is the best! Our pup is so happy there. She keeps us updated while we are away but his excitement when he arrives at her house is the tell tale sign of his happiness.”
“Ashley is a great sitter! She was very nice and made me feel comfortable leaving my Max with her! She sent awesome updates daily with cute pictures of Max enjoying himself! Definitely getting her to sit Max again! 10/10 Definitely Recommend !!”
“Anamika is fantastic! She’s very communicative and keeps me updated throughout the day. She sends tons of pictures to let me know my dog is doing ok. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Celeste is the best. I had an unexpected delayed flight, and thankfully, Celeste was able to watch my dog longer than I had planned. I was updated regularly with pictures while on vacation that made my day. I knew my dog was in safe hands so I could enjoy my vacation. I definitely will use Celeste again.”
