“Melody did an amazing job caring for my two cats! 😊 She was always punctual and consistently sent updates, photos, and videos - which I really appreciated.

Highly recommend Melody to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“This was Logan’s first time caring for our kitty, Beau. We were in a bit of a scramble when our scheduled Rover care provider had a last minute emergency and cancelled. Logan was thankfully available and very accommodating. His communication was thorough and he covered everything we requested meticulously. He was on time and dependable. He also took photos at each visit, which we really appreciated. Beau is a senior kitty with some special feeding needs. Logan was more than happy to ensure his needs were met. He even coordinated his time with another client to keep Beau on his feeding schedule. We will definitely ask Logan to care for him again in the future!”
“Caitlin is an AMAZING sitter! She cared for my senior kitty, with a variety of medical needs, above and beyond what I would have hoped for. I’m very protective of my kitty and don’t trust a lot of people to care for her but Caitlin is the absolute best! She is on time and very detailed with her drop in reports. Not only did she take amazing care of my cat but my home as well. If you have the opportunity to book Caitlin you won’t be disappointed!”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I currently own a large dog and am responsible for all aspects of his daily care, including feeding, walking, basic training, grooming, and monitoring his health and behavior. I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs as well as calmer or more sensitive ones. I have experience managing leash pulling, reinforcing basic commands, and creating a calm, safe environment both indoors and outdoors. I always prioritize safety, routine, and positive reinforcement. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, body language, and comfort level, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, patient, and proactive when it comes to communication and care. I'm currently working from home. So I have plenty of time to play with your dog. I'm available for boarding and day care on weekends and weekday. I have yard and a friendly Bernese Mountain Dog to keep your fur baby company. I will keep the floor clean so that the dogs have enough space to play.
“Dennise was fantastic. When we unexpectedly needed a daytime sitter while traveling, Dennise responded promptly to the request and took our fur baby in. She took pictures and accommodated our varied schedule needs. When we are back in the area, we will definitely have Maxwell spend time with Dennise.”
“Happy we found Lynann to care for our pooch. One less worry off my mind as I know Reesey is happy and well taken care of. Love the videos and pics. So much communication which eases any worries.”
About: I’m the definition of a “dog person” — we’ve had several of our own, and we’ve been a boarding stop for friends and family for years. I’m not working full-time right now, so I have plenty of time to exercise your fur-friend, or just drop in for a visit! If you have any specific questions or concerns, I’d be happy to answer them! I’m not working full-time at the moment, so I’m available any day, at any time! Plenty of time for long walks or drop-ins, whatever your pet needs. Whatever you and your pet are comfortable with! I’ve dealt with tiny dogs and huge dogs, seniors and young puppies — they’re all special to me.
“She was very communicative. Sent lots of pictures and videos. When an issue arose, she handled it perfectly and communicated what happened and we established a plan for if it should come up again.”
“Max’s first day of daycare with Leslie went great. He felt right at home and I knew he was well taken care of and played with when I picked him up and he was excited and exhausted when we got home. We will definitely use Leslie again.”
About: I have lifelong experience with dogs, caring for both my own and others’ pets since childhood. My experience includes providing attentive care to elderly dogs, particularly during my time with my aging corgi. While I love dogs of all ages, I understand the unique needs of senior dogs and am committed to ensuring their comfort and well-being. Unfortunately, we cannot accept pit bulls or Staffordshire terriers. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to tailor my schedule to your dog’s needs and level of activity. I can provide exceptional care for your pet because I will be home all day during the work week. I am especially good at following your instructions. I have been been taking a walk every day for years and would love to take your dog with me.
“Karen took such wonderful care of our dog! He had a great time playing with her. She sent multiple photos of him smiling and playing throughout the day. I know he’d love to go back to her!”
“Allison was great, she was quick to respond and gave updates of how Hugo was doing throughout the day! She sent pictures and Hugo had such a fun time with new friends! We will definitely be requesting Allison again in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Mary! I’ve been providing pet care through Rover since late 2017 and have nearly 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, personalities, and routines, and I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I understand that every pet is different. Some want to play fetch for an hour, some prefer a leisurely walk, and some cats would rather supervise me from across the room. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and pets that require medication. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick potty break, taking your dog for a walk, or spending the day with your pup in daycare, I provide dependable care and plenty of attention. Communication is a big priority for me. You’ll receive detailed Rover cards, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to earn both your trust and theirs. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, daycare services, and cat drop-in visits throughout the week. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I pride myself on being reliable, responsive, and punctual. Whether you need ongoing care or help while you’re traveling, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep your pets happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, pay close attention to each pet’s routine, and provide regular updates throughout my visits. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I strive to provide the same level of care I would want for my own animals.

“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!”
“My Winston absolutely loves it at Kim’s house! He just struts right in like he owns the place. Her pups couldn’t be any sweeter & we feel so lucky we found her . Thanks Rover for making this so easy.”

“Halle is our dog’s absolute best friend! Ever since Halle started coming to walk her during the week, Pepper has immediately become so well behaved and happy! Halle is quick to answer if I have any questions or requests about pepper, and she gives her the same love we do! I couldn’t recommend anyone more than Halle! Thank you!!!”
“LeNai was fantastic! It was our first time trying doggie daycare and LeNai made Neptune feel right at home. We received videos and pictures of him having a great time which eased our own separation anxiety! Would definitely recommend using her services and I'm sure Neptune can't wait to spend some time with her again.”

About: Hey, I’m Nickey — a stay-at-home mom, dog lover, and proud pet parent of four big pups (who are kept completely separate from guests). I specialize in caring for small dogs only, giving them all the attention and comfort they deserve in a safe, loving home. I also have three little ones, ages 2 to 9, who are gentle and used to being around animals. If needed, I’m happy to keep your pup in their own quiet space away from the kids to ensure everyone stays relaxed and happy. I know how important it is to leave your dog somewhere that feels like home. That’s why I offer: • A stress-free environment just for small dogs • One-on-one attention • Frequent photo + video updates • A calm, cozy routine filled with love, care, and belly rubs Let’s set up a meet-and-greet — I’d love to welcome your little one into my care 🐾✨ I’m a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which means your pup will get plenty of love and attention throughout the day! I’m available for both weekday and weekend boarding and daycare, and I’m home full-time — no rushing in or out. Whether it’s a short stay or a week-long vacation, your dog will be well cared for in a calm, cozy environment. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I only accept small dogs, and I already have four large dogs of my own who stay in a separate part of the home. I also have three young kids (ages 2–9) who are great around pets but can be kept completely separate if needed. I provide a secure, smoke-free, kid-aware environment with lots of supervision, soft spaces to rest, and plenty of cuddles. I’m happy to crate your dog if requested and will follow any feeding, potty, or nap routines you provide.
“Dennise was a joy to work with. Our plans were a bit up in the air and Dennise was so easy to work with and accommodating with our ever changing schedule. I highly recommend her services.”
“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!!!”
“Noelle has been taking care of Sage for me for months now. I work long shifts and have an unpredictable schedule so it is so helpful to have a reliable walker to let her out while I am at work. Noelle has always been super responsive and timely. Sage loves her and I love the peace of mind that shes getting a good walk in while I'm working”
“Kim took great care of my dog while I was away for a weekend. She cared for Indie like she was truly her own. She kept me updated and was flexible and timely. I recommend Kim highly for dog walking!”
“We just hired Kristi as our dog walker, and she's been wonderful right from the start. Our dog is pretty shy with new people, but Kristi was patient and gentle, taking the time to let her warm up instead of rushing things. By the end of the first walk, our dog was already more comfortable with her. It's clear Kristi genuinely understands dog behavior and knows how to put a nervous pup at ease. Really glad we found her!”
“Amazing first impression! Shannon is so passionate, kind, considerate, and caring for our pups which is very reassuring with my fur babies! Can’t wait to keep having her care for my fur babies!❤️”
