“Kathy is top notch! Bella obviously has a good time with her dog, Bruno, and her cat. Kathy is just as obviously an excellent caretaker. She's so cooperative when we need to rearrange times, or anything else to make things work. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“As a dog mom of an anxious pup, it is so hard to leave my dog with someone, especially someone new, but during my dogs stay with Kayla and her husband, I know she was in great hands! Kayla gave daily updates including lots of pictures and I could just tell my dog was having a great time. I had not one worry while I was away. Kayla and her husband were kind, very communicative, and I will continue to trust them with my dog!”
“Jeanette was awesome. She made Rocky and I feel comfortable from the moment we pulled up to her house. She is definitely a well prepared and knowledgeable dog sitter. She also sends plenty of pictures. Rocky can’t wait to visit again.”
“Amy and Ross did a fantastic job taking care of our girl! The meeting ahead of time gave me peace of mind about where she would be and who she would be with. She warmed up to them quickly and I appreciated the photos and the video they shared while I was away! I would highly recommend their services to anyone.”
“We would like to thank Dana so much for taking excellent care of our dog, Charlie. ♥️ We could not be happier with the care our dog received while we were out of town for the holidays. From the very beginning, her communication was excellent. We received frequent updates and tons of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She truly took our dog under her wing and treated him like her own, which meant the world to us. On top of that, when our flight was unexpectedly delayed an entire day, she was incredibly understanding and compassionate, and graciously kept him an extra night without hesitation. It’s clear that Dana genuinely loves and cares for the animals she watches. We are beyond grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the exceptional care she provided. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, patient, loving, and communicative pet sitter. In fact, we will be using Dana exclusively in the future because of how deeply rooted our trust was built while we were away, and how truly special our dog Charlie bonded to his Auntie Dana. I can’t express my gratitude enough - thank you ♥️”
“Elizabeth and her husband were excellent with my my two dogs. I received pictures and updates throughout their stay. Highly recommend. I will definitely be using them again.”
“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!”
“Peggy took amazingly great care of Amigo. Gave him special treats like a yogurt board and other puzzles. He loved many playful mornings in her great back yard with Peggy’s dog, Barklee! Her true love of dogs is apparent! Can’t think of enough great things to say! Book her with complete confidence!”
“My first time using Rover and I was able to book a stay with Hope. She was very sweet and made sure to check in with my pictures and videos. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you so much!”
“Daniel is a very gentle sitter in which I truly appreciate considering my dog is 15 years old. Daniel followed care instructions, provided updates and pictures throughout the day, and his home is clean. My dog immediately got comfortable as she would any family members home, and Daniel’s profile accurately describes his environment. This was my first time using Daniel as a sitter and it certainly won’t be my last. I had a bad experiences with another sitter mistreating my dog so I read through Daniel’s reviews to give comfort in using the Rover app again. I don’t think I would want anyone other than Daniel dog sitting my old lady :) thanks Daniel!!”
“Albina is a great sitter. Very responsive. She has a fenced in backyard and our lab loves playing with her lab in the backyard. She will keep you updated on your pet with pictures and videos. Her kids loved on my dog.”
“On behalf of my Dog Patrick and me, it truly was the very best care and experience I've ever had boarding my dog in a wonderful loving home! Thank you London/ and family 😊”
“Heaven sent!! Christal (and her sweet kiddos) were a true blessing. My dog landed in the perfect home while we were vacationing. The communication was prompt, from the moment I requested her services (at 4AM), Christal answered and took in my puppy that same afternoon. He was well cared for, seemed happy with his daily walks and play time. I appreciate the photos I would receive throughout the day. I recommend Christal and will definitely reach out to her when I need a pet sitter. Christal: Thank you SO MUCH! Max sends his love to you and your family!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy with my experience. My dog came home very happy and I know he was well cared for with Alyssa. I will definitely use her again!”
“Tucker had the best weekend with Carolina and her sweet girls! They were so kind and welcoming, and the video updates throughout his time there were wonderful. She was wonderful!”
“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.”
“Anamika took amazing care of our dog Rocky. We were so happy with the level of care he received. I was not worried at all. I really hope he can stay with her again!!!”
“Jennifer took the best care of our fur baby! I loved all the pictures and updates throughout our vacation! Shiloh is going to miss her new friend, Olivia. I highly recommend Jennifer, and will likely use her again!!”

“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

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. While I am currently unable to board pets, I am happy to provide care in the environment where your pet is most comfortable- their own home! 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.
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.

What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I will take the time to love and care for your animal like it was my own. I always try to go above and beyond whatever my task is.

About: I grew up with having a dog around the house, so I have always loved being around pets. The last two summers I have pet sat for families while they were on vacation.

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 am a full time teacher so once the school year starts my availability will change. I will not be able to provide pet care in my home. But I can provide pet care in a clients home. I am able to provide walks, feed your pet, provide snuggles, and medication if needed. I will ensure the client home stays clean if I am booked for overnight pet care. If it is too hot outside I may limit the time for the walk. I will also bring a water bottle with a bowl to make sure your dog does not overheat.
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.

I plan my day around visits, feedings, walks, and check ins, making sure each pet gets reliable, consistent care and attention. I’m flexible and organized, so I can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs while keeping everything running smoothly. “I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress free. In a client’s or even in my own home, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean spaces, and plenty of attention, playtime, or walks depending on their needs. I’m very respectful of each home and focus on giving pets consistent, loving care so they feel safe while their owners are away.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up with six family dogs, I gained experience with all kinds of personalities, ages, and needs. Recently, I helped care for three of my senior dogs through their later years, teaching me the importance of patience and attentiveness. I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since elementary school and have been caring for pets through Rover since high school. I also have volunteer experience with animal shelters and am comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Dogs truly feel like family to me, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love and attention I would give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule while studying for my North Carolina real estate license, so I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays on YOUR schedule. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I recently graduated and am focused on studying for my real estate exam right now, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m more than happy to accommodate to your dog’s regular routine. I will not be able to bring dogs into my residence but will gladly take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home and outdoor spaces.
About: I have been working with and caring for dogs my whole life. Large working breeds to small breeds. I understand dog psychology. I love to work with them and I am in the process of beginning my own company for behavioral modification and training. Give me a call! I am currently working part time as I build my clientele and will have time in my schedule for weekday appointments, I can also take appointments on Saturdays. I have a skill set for handling dogs with great care and positive reinforcement. I currently have 2 of my own 1 Belgian shepherd mix and 1 maltishu mix. I will eventually take in over night boards once I have my building on my property fitted out for it appropriately.
“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!!!”

“As a dog mom of an anxious pup, it is so hard to leave my dog with someone, especially someone new, but during my dogs stay with Kayla and her husband, I know she was in great hands! Kayla gave daily updates including lots of pictures and I could just tell my dog was having a great time. I had not one worry while I was away. Kayla and her husband were kind, very communicative, and I will continue to trust them with my dog!”
“Amy and Ross did a fantastic job taking care of our girl! The meeting ahead of time gave me peace of mind about where she would be and who she would be with.

“Daniel is a very gentle sitter in which I truly appreciate considering my dog is 15 years old. Daniel followed care instructions, provided updates and pictures throughout the day, and his home is clean. My dog immediately got comfortable as she would any family members home, and Daniel’s profile accurately describes his environment. This was my first time using Daniel as a sitter and it certainly won’t be my last. I had a bad experiences with another sitter mistreating my dog so I read through Daniel’s reviews to give comfort in using the Rover app again. I don’t think I would want anyone other than Daniel dog sitting my old lady :) thanks Daniel!!”

“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.”
