“Ronald is the best!!! He is so good with our dog and always accommodates us even if we have stuff come up last minute. We will always send our Willow to him, he simply gives her the best care.”
“Nicole was great with my goldendoodle Kingston. She kept me updated from the time I left, and each day after. She sent me photos of him playing with her two dogs, and a German Shepard that was there one day on a play date. Kingston was well cared for, and judging from the photos he had a ball while there. He was able to run and play in Nicole's hugh backyard,and Kingston also had a dedicated room in her house to nap/sleep. Nicole is a fantasic sitter and I could tell that she loves dogs. I would definitely reommend her services if you need a dog sitter.”
“I can't say enough positive things about my and my pup's experience with Brad. 1. Booking/Communication - From the initial booking, Brad was communicative and responsive ensuring that I would feel comfortable even before I dropped my pup off. 2. Drop off - At drop-off, Brad was extremely attentive to understand the unique needs of my pup especially as it pertained to his medication. In my moving around, I forgot to bring something my pup needed. Brad was extremely helpful in getting it resolved so that my pup's stay would be just fine. Additionally, Brad went out of his way to ask how, and what frequency, I wanted to be updated on my pup's stay. 3. Stay - My pup had a fantastic time staying with Brad and having pup siblings at Brad's house. I'm confident of this not only because, true to his word, Brad was not only communicative about what was going on each day (for the entire ~3wk stay), but he also sent pictures and videos with funny notes! I could see that my dog was active not only outside but inside the home, was playing well with the other dogs, and was being loved and snuggled daily. 4. Pick-up - The day of pick-up, my flight was delayed impacting my ability to pick-up my pup on time. Brad was completely understanding and was communicative to ensure that I had no worries. When I arrived to pick up my pup, all of the things I sent with my pup came home in great condition AND Brad sent me home with a treat that he had graciously been giving my pup as well! I could tell my pup was excited to go home but was sad to leave Brad and his new friends! Overall, we will DEFINITELY use Brad again and recommend him to anyone that is looking for someone to treat their pup like family when they have to go away. Thanks again, Brad!”
“Super friendly and great with Yoolee! We have used her on 2 overnight occasions with 1 being short notice and she has always been very accommodating and responsive. We highly recommend Katie.”
“Stephanie was AMAZING!! Will never send our pup back to a boarding facility now that we have found her. She took such great care of our girl and sent updates with pictures every day, which is a huge plus. 10/10 recommended Stephanie and we will be using her in the future for every boarding need.”
“This is my first time booking through Rover, and it has been an amazing experience. Elizabeth is very lovely to the dogs, friendly and loves her job very much. Her and her family showed so much love to my fury baby. She is perfectly!. I will definitely book Elizabeth again.”
“William is a very friendly guy, animal lover. He took care of my dog for a few days and make my dog feel like he was home. My dog enjoyed his stay and was taken care during his stay. William was very communicative. I definitely recommend him, and I know I will book with him again on my next trip. ☺️🐶”
“Thanks to Jennifer and Matt, we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our Frank was being well taken care and receiving lots of lovin'! This was our first time leaving Frank with a sitter and Jennifer and Matt immediately welcomed Frank which put my mind at ease. They are easy to work with and I appreciate that their communication was prompt.”
“Jennifer was fantastic with my dog Cody. She sent pictures and videos daily and messages letting me know how he was doing. Cody hasn’t done well in boarding environments. On the way home from Jennifer’s he was calm and content. He also became buddies with her dog Milo. I will certainly be taking Cody back to Jennifer!”
“Carrie took great care of our pit bull Sox in her home while we were out of town for a couple days! She sent daily updates with pictures and videos to assure us he was doing well. Her whole family gave him much love and treated him like their own. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Alexander did an amazing job sitting our little Willow. She kept in contact with us as well as sent pictures of Willow throughout our vacation. Overall, we will definitely use Alexander for all our sitting needs in the future.”
About: Our family has a dauschaund for 15 years that passed in August. She was provided so much love and care. I'm not afraid to help feel meds to your pup to keep them happy and healthy. We now have two pomeranian/ chihuahua mixes. One is about half way through his training to be a service dog and hopefully a therapy dog. He loves learning and putting that work vest on. His sister is a year younger and lives to play and snuggle. We loved boarding our friends dog, and both Rupert and Mabel get along with their pup friends. And they all love running around our fully fenced backyard. Our family has also had cats off and on for over 20 years. While I know they are laid back and are happy with an empty litter box and a full food bowl, they like getting the extra love and attention to. So whether it's with a toy on a stick, balls on the ground, or even some gentle pets they need love while your away also. I would love to help care for your four legged family member. While in my care, they would be treated like one of the family. I currently work part-time from home. I would be available to help your four legged family member before 7am and after 12 noon. The only other thing that keeps me busy is the training with Rupert, and playing and snuggling with Mabel, but it's flexible. I am asking to care for smaller dogs only because of some medical restrictions. With a small dog I will have no problem walking them, cleaning up after them, and crating if needed. But most of all I will be able to play with them to help burn off energy.
“Cory watched Sofia for me while I made a work trip. She had so much fun hanging with him and his pups. His pups are so sweet and love to be outside like Sofia does! Cory responded quickly to all my texts and sent me pictures”
About: We’ve both been around dogs our entire lives, and caring for them has always been a natural part of our home. We’ve also fostered dogs, which gave us experience welcoming dogs with different personalities, routines, energy levels, and comfort needs into our family. We currently share our home with Winston, our friendly French Bulldog, who loves having new friends around! We understand that every dog is different, so we take the time to learn your pup’s normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and what helps them feel most comfortable. We’re comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, including dogs who need medication or a little extra patience and attention. Whether your dog loves playing in the yard, going for a walk, curling up on the couch, or simply being close to people, we want their stay to feel as much like home as possible. Most importantly, we know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. We’ll treat your pup like part of our family and keep you updated with plenty of photos so you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into our everyday routine! Between the two of us, we have flexibility in our schedules that allows us to give our four-legged guests plenty of attention throughout the day. Our days already revolve around our own dog, Winston, so potty breaks, backyard time, playtime, meals, and lots of attention are part of our normal routine. We have a fenced-in backyard that makes it easy for the dogs to get outside frequently throughout the day, whether they want to play, explore, or just enjoy some fresh air. When your dog stays with us, we’ll do our best to keep them on the routine they’re used to at home—including feeding times, medications, bedtime routines, walks, and any special instructions you provide. We want their stay with us to feel like part of their normal life, just with a few new friends and a little extra spoiling! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor time, and we never leave guest dogs outside unattended. We take introductions with our dog, Winston, slowly and supervise interactions so everyone has time to get comfortable with one another. We understand that not every dog wants to play or be social all the time, so we’re happy to provide separate spaces when someone needs a little quiet time to relax and decompress. We also have crates available if your dog is crate-trained and feels most comfortable having their own familiar space. Inside our home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They’re welcome to relax with us, play, snuggle, and settle in just like they would at home. We follow each owner’s instructions closely when it comes to feeding, medications, potty schedules, walks, sleeping arrangements, and household rules so we can keep your dog’s routine as familiar as possible. We also believe trust means keeping you in the loop. You can expect regular updates and plenty of photos during your dog’s stay, and we’ll always reach out if we have a question or notice anything unusual. Our goal is for you to feel just as comfortable with your dog staying here as your pup feels being here.
“Jessica was great! Extremely responsive and sent so many pics and videos. I could tell my pup was having so much fun with her pups and was very well taken care of.”
“Vita was a great sitter! She communicated with me the whole time and constantly sent video and picture updates. Also my dog is a senior dog that takes several medicines twice a day, and she administered them properly with no problem.”

“Our four kitties left Madison glowing reviews! It was our first time using Rover and also our first time going on an extended vacation with 4 cats at home. Our kitties have some particular needs and Madison was able to accommodate each and every one. We missed our babies the whole time that we were gone, but we felt safe with Madison checking in on them. She sent us some great photos and updates. She will be our go to cat sitter from now on!”
“I’m new to the area and was really nervous about leaving my four cats for a week, especially my senior cat who’s 15 and requires a little extra care and attention. Amy was fantastic from the start—professional, kind, and clearly a true animal lover. She took the time to get to know each of my cats and made me feel completely at ease. I received regular updates and photos, which really helped me relax while I was away. When I returned, everything was spotless and the cats were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. Amy went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Our anti-social kitty likes her better than us! Allison is incredible!!! From the moment we met her for a meet & greet I knew she was perfect. We felt 100% comfortable with her coming in to our home, and knew our cats were in great hands. She’s responsible, great at communicating with us, and so sweet. She must be a cat whisperer because our shy kitty not only snuggled her day 1, but even let Allison rub her belly! We are so thankful to have such a wonderful professional do checkins/feeding while we were away.”

“Carrie was amazing looking after my cat Bones while I was out of town! She left me notes and photos every day which I really appreciate. I definitely recommend her and will definitely re-book in the future.”
“We are return bookers of Natalia and can't recommend her enough for anyone looking for a pet sitter! She always does a great job during drop in visits for our two cats. Natalia is very communicative and even brings in our packages for us and checks on other household things while we're away. We will definitely continue to book with her, thank you Natalia!!”

“Took excellent care of my two dogs even though it was a last minute request. They came back tired from all the fun they had, i would absolutely recommend and will definitely request again when im in town.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I can remember. Many neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to look after their lovely pets! I will adore them as if they were my own! I work a job that is remote throughout the week and I do find myself having a lot of extra time because of that. I have a pretty open schedule during the weekends so I’m very flexible and I’m willing to stay at your house or bring them over to interact with my own pet. I do have a fur baby of my own who is super friendly and loves everyone and anyone that will pay attention to him. “
About: What sets me apart is my ability to take pet care seriously without taking myself too seriously. I’m patient, observant, calm, and respectful of routines.

I believe animals deserve consistency, patience, and kindness. I’m the type of person who talks to pets like they understand (because… they do), celebrates small wins like a voluntary cuddle, and never rushes trust. I take pride in being reliable, warm, and easy to work with. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule intentionally, allowing time for feedings, check-ins, play, and quiet companionship. I’m consistent, punctual, and flexible, and I never treat pet care like an afterthought. Its something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I treat every home and pet with respect and care. I follow instructions closely, double-check doors and routines, and keep environments calm and secure. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and your pet’s comfort at all times. Trust matters to me! Both yours and your pet’s and I work to earn it every visit.

“Carrie was phenomenal. One of our dogs had a health scare a few days before we were supposed to leave and she managed three medications with multiple doses per day and kept a close eye on her while still caring for our other dog and making sure they were both so so happy. Couldn’t be more grateful for her help while we were away.”

“Vanessa was amazing. She took my dog when I was in a last minute pinch. She made sure to meet up first to see that our dogs would get along. She checked if there was anything Lucy needed to attend to her special needs. Lucy came home happy and well exercised.”
“Lauren was amazing! She took GREAT care of my Goldendoodle Tobi. I found her last minute and she was so accommodating! I can’t say enough good things about her! I will book with Lauren again and again! ❤️”
About: Growing up, my family always had dogs. Once our children started playing high school and college sports, we became too busy to have a dog of our own. For the past several years, we have taken family and friends dogs for long weekends, week-long stays...whatever we could do to get our "dog fix". It was a win for us and a win for our family and friends. My wife and I take lots of walks in the Charlotte area and we always love to stop and pet friendly dogs! I work remotely from our house, and would love to have some company while my wife is at work. And, it would be a great excuse to get up and go for a walk a few times a day. Your dog would get lots of attention and love while they are here. I could also stop by your house to let your dog out and go for a walk. Really do love dogs and miss having one around. We would be doing each other a favor!
“Katie has always done a wonderful job taking care of Nym! Her dog Winston and Nym love playing with each other and I look forward to giving them many more play dates in the future.”

“I was incredibly lucky to find Madison to help walk my dog while I recovered from surgery. I could not have asked for a more caring, dependable dog walker. Madison showed up every day for two months, on time, happy and ready to go. My dog Olive absolutely adores her. I do not know what I would have done without her. Highly, highly recommend her services.”
“Natalia has been great with our two dogs! They are normally pretty anxious but have warmed right up to her!! She is on time, communicates well, and takes cute pictures of the boys :) We will definitely continue using her for future visits!”

My day begins with feeding routines, followed by cleaning my dog training room and conducting morning training sessions or walks. The rest of the day is dedicated to various aspects of animal care, including grooming, training, playtime, feeding, meal prep, and administering medications when needed. I do it all to ensure the well-being of every pet I care for. On weekends, I’m usually at a dog sport trial or competition, or enjoying outdoor activities like hiking and swimming with my pets, or simply relaxing and bonding with them. Pet care is not just a job for me; it's my passion and lifestyle. I provide exceptional care for dogs, whether in my own home or a client’s, by combining my animal medical experience, grooming skills, training expertise, and dog behaviorist background. With my experience in training and behavior modification, I can address a wide range of behavioral issues, ensuring dogs are well-mannered and comfortable in their environment. I am well-versed in administering medications and handling medical needs, ensuring each dog’s health is closely monitored. My grooming experience allows me to maintain their coats, keeping them clean, comfortable, and healthy. Above all, I approach every pet with respect, recognizing their unique needs and preferences. I take pride in being responsible and reliable, offering a safe and loving environment while upholding the highest standards of care.
“Robert has been taking my dog, Craig, for walks on a weekly basis for about six months now. I highly recommend him as he has been very friendly, dependable, and reliable. Robert took really good care of Craig and made sure his needs were met during each visit, especially during times when Craig wasn’t feeling well. He also took the best dog photos which were a joy to receive in the middle of a work shift. I’m very satisfied with his services overall!”

About: As an experienced dog owner of medium and large sized dogs, and a lover of little dogs, I can offer loving companionship and care for your pet. I also have a lot of experience with senior dogs and those recovering from surgeries and can assist with those needs as well. I have plenty of time to take care of your pet any day of the week, between 9:00am - 5:00pm. If different hours are needed, we can discuss that. For pet care in your home, I will follow any instructions you have for their care and comfort. A typical visit would include a potty break/walk, a treat, and a little time petting them and telling them what a good and lovely baby they are. If feeding or medication is needed that can also be handled during my visit.
About: Our family has a dauschaund for 15 years that passed in August. She was provided so much love and care. I'm not afraid to help feel meds to your pup to keep them happy and healthy. We now have two pomeranian/ chihuahua mixes. One is about half way through his training to be a service dog and hopefully a therapy dog. He loves learning and putting that work vest on. His sister is a year younger and lives to play and snuggle. We loved boarding our friends dog, and both Rupert and Mabel get along with their pup friends. And they all love running around our fully fenced backyard. Our family has also had cats off and on for over 20 years. While I know they are laid back and are happy with an empty litter box and a full food bowl, they like getting the extra love and attention to. So whether it's with a toy on a stick, balls on the ground, or even some gentle pets they need love while your away also. I would love to help care for your four legged family member. While in my care, they would be treated like one of the family. I currently work part-time from home. I would be available to help your four legged family member before 7am and after 12 noon. The only other thing that keeps me busy is the training with Rupert, and playing and snuggling with Mabel, but it's flexible. I am asking to care for smaller dogs only because of some medical restrictions. With a small dog I will have no problem walking them, cleaning up after them, and crating if needed. But most of all I will be able to play with them to help burn off energy.

“Ronald is the best!!! He is so good with our dog and always accommodates us even if we have stuff come up last minute. We will always send our Willow to him, he simply gives her the best care.”
“Nicole was great with my goldendoodle Kingston. She kept me updated from the time I left, and each day after. She sent me photos of him playing with her two dogs, and a German Shepard that was there one day on a play date. Kingston was well cared for, and judging from the photos he had a ball while there. He was able to run and play in Nicole's hugh backyard,and Kingston also had a dedicated room in her house to nap/sleep. Nicole is a fantasic sitter and I could tell that she loves dogs. I would definitely reommend her services if you need a dog sitter.”

About: We’ve both been around dogs our entire lives, and caring for them has always been a natural part of our home. We’ve also fostered dogs, which gave us experience welcoming dogs with different personalities, routines, energy levels, and comfort needs into our family. We currently share our home with Winston, our friendly French Bulldog, who loves having new friends around! We understand that every dog is different, so we take the time to learn your pup’s normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and what helps them feel most comfortable. We’re comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, including dogs who need medication or a little extra patience and attention. Whether your dog loves playing in the yard, going for a walk, curling up on the couch, or simply being close to people, we want their stay to feel as much like home as possible. Most importantly, we know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. We’ll treat your pup like part of our family and keep you updated with plenty of photos so you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into our everyday routine! Between the two of us, we have flexibility in our schedules that allows us to give our four-legged guests plenty of attention throughout the day. Our days already revolve around our own dog, Winston, so potty breaks, backyard time, playtime, meals, and lots of attention are part of our normal routine. We have a fenced-in backyard that makes it easy for the dogs to get outside frequently throughout the day, whether they want to play, explore, or just enjoy some fresh air. When your dog stays with us, we’ll do our best to keep them on the routine they’re used to at home—including feeding times, medications, bedtime routines, walks, and any special instructions you provide. We want their stay with us to feel like part of their normal life, just with a few new friends and a little extra spoiling! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor time, and we never leave guest dogs outside unattended. We take introductions with our dog, Winston, slowly and supervise interactions so everyone has time to get comfortable with one another. We understand that not every dog wants to play or be social all the time, so we’re happy to provide separate spaces when someone needs a little quiet time to relax and decompress. We also have crates available if your dog is crate-trained and feels most comfortable having their own familiar space. Inside our home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They’re welcome to relax with us, play, snuggle, and settle in just like they would at home. We follow each owner’s instructions closely when it comes to feeding, medications, potty schedules, walks, sleeping arrangements, and household rules so we can keep your dog’s routine as familiar as possible. We also believe trust means keeping you in the loop. You can expect regular updates and plenty of photos during your dog’s stay, and we’ll always reach out if we have a question or notice anything unusual. Our goal is for you to feel just as comfortable with your dog staying here as your pup feels being here.
“Jessica was great! Extremely responsive and sent so many pics and videos. I could tell my pup was having so much fun with her pups and was very well taken care of.”
“Deborah was amazing! This was the first time we had left our dog overnight for more than 2 nights with someone he did not know. He had a great time. Deborah communicated with us and ensured he was fine - and he was. Thanks so much!!!”
“Susan and her family love Penny like she’s their dog. When we pulled into the driveway, Penny couldn’t wait to get out of the car to see them again. There is no greater review than your dog joyfully going to their boarder! Susan sends the best pictures and videos to recap the day. Susan has always communicated quickly. She is our go to boarder for our girl.”
“Irina and her husband had our husky over the weekend for the 4th of July and did an amazing job taking care of her. Even took her out for a hike. Thank you both! Happy to have found Luna a caring couple to leave her with when we need to.”
“Isabella is an absolute angel! I had just moved across the country and had no friends or family nearby when an unexpected urgent family emergency occurred requiring me to find my sweet Rue a sitter. Isabella was so incredibly kind and thoughtful. She really took care of my pup, so that I could focus on taking care of my human family. I cannot thank her enough. I received multiple daily updates including photos. Isabella responds very quickly and She is extremely easy to communicate and work with. She is honest and transparent. I feel Rue was very well taken care of. I was impressed when Isabella had to step away from the home for a couple hours and she took the time to check up on Rue via home cameras. I have already booked Rue’s next stay with Isabella!”
“Leigh is the furfect sitter for our boy! She is incredibly flexible and responds to messages right away. Our original pet sitter canceled on the day of our booking, and we had to find someone last minute. We’re so thankful that Leigh replied immediately and was able to help us out. From the moment our boy arrived at her place, he felt comfortable and happy and he didn’t hesitate at all to start playing in her yard, which really showed us what a kind and welcoming person she is. Leigh kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed the schedule we provided perfectly and made sure he got lots of playtime and attention. Knowing that our boy was having fun and being well cared for made us feel completely at ease. We would absolutely book Leigh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter!”
