Personalized care for your dog or cat - Wildwoods
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Wildwoods
“Our 15-yr old Yorkie had a great stay with Dana. Because Max has some health issues, and needs some assistance with feeding, I rarely leave him with anyone. Dana provided the care and assistance he needed, and sent messages and pictures daily. I was able to enjoy my getaway without any concerns and Max came home without any signs of stress. I will definitely book Max with Dana again!”
“Alyssa and her husband did an awesome job with Marlowe! They truly listened to my instructions and made Marlowe feel comfortable! They took photos and kept me updated and showed just how my pup son was a happy camper!”
“Cinthya took care of my dog Pumpkin for a weekend and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times and sent pictures! My dog loved it and looked very happy and well taken care of! Will definitely book again”
“Once again just the perfect sitter that makes life easy and flexible for us- and sends our puppers bad smelling fresh and clean. They probably look forward to the next vacation as much as we do!”
“From the moment I booked with this sitter and had our initial video chat, I instantly felt good vibes and positive energy. She has a dog of her own, and it was clear that Chloe got along with her wonderfully. Throughout the stay, the sitter kept me updated with photos and messages, which I truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing Chloe was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Cheryl took great care of our boxer Copper! We loved getting pictures and updates while we were away and it was clear that she loves dogs. He was well taken care of and she made him very comfortable in her home!”
“Bozena did an awesome job! She was very communicative, sent lots of photos, and it was clear that Tucker had a great time and felt very comfortable. Would definitely book again.”
“This was my first rover experience in Charlotte. Linda was great with my dog Riggins! She sent tons of pictures and updates. Riggins had a great time with her! She even accommodated me when my flight was canceled which gave me such peace of mind! Will def book with her again!”
“Casilya was an incredible dog sitter for my pup, Rigby! She was so welcoming, accomodating, and attentive. She sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were away and was so complimentary of Rigby! I will definitely be using her again for future trips!”
“Many thanks to Jeanette for giving our Cowboy so much TLC when she kept him last week! He is always tuckered out from play and socializing with his 4- legged friends! Anyone needing a great sitter for your pup, Jeanette is the best!”
“Alejandra and her husband were more than accommodating for our two pups. We had a 9-night stay set up with them and they sent multiple pictures and video every day, making us feel secure and worry-free for our whole vacation. We will definitely be contacting them again!”
“Carolina did a wonderful job of taking care of Seamus. I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the week. It’s great that she has a dog that my dog could play with and run around with. Will definitely book again!”
“Amy & Ross continue to be excellent caregivers for our pups! Communicative and willing to go the extra mile (and that includes literally in the form of hikes), you can rest assured they will keep your pups happy and healthy”
“Diamond is such a phenomenal sitter! She had a birthday party for one of my pups complete with pictures, treats, gifts, and a party hat! I know my pups feel comfortable with her because when we arrive they run directly to the door with tails wagging and leashes dragging!”
“Deborah was the perfect sitter for our dog MaryAnn while we were away for 12 days overseas. We loved that Deborah had a big fenced in back yard, worked from home, and only took on one dog at a time. It helped recreate our dog’s typical experience at home. Deborah was quick to respond to our booking inquiry and was happy to set up a meet and greet in which she took many notes. Deborah clearly had a lot of dog experience on and off Rover and she was confident she and MaryAnn would get on well. Deborah would send us frequent updates and even handled MaryAnns tummy issues. She was also great about administering MaryAnn’s medications and heartworm pill as instructed. When we picked MaryAnn up she was clearly exhausted from spending lots of time playing out and she definitely seemed extremely happy and comfortable on Deborah’s home. Highly recommend Deborah for your boarding experience!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Hunter was amazing. She was so accommodating and my little Kirby seemed to have a great time. She sent pictures and shared funny stories about him. I would absolutely use her again.”
“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!”

Cat caregivers near you - Wildwoods
“Teresa is a star sitter for a reason! My cat took no time at all to warm up to her and look forward to her drop-in visits. Would highly recommend her to anyone as she is very reliable and kind.”
“Chelsea is always great with our cats!! We have used her several times and we are always very pleased. She's very detailed and always takes great pictures and leaves thorough notes.”
“Mackenzie is a cat whisperer! I have a shy, elderly cat that has never let a petsitter pet her (even regular petsitters). However, Mackenzie was able to bond with my cat from the first time watching her and was able to give my cat lots of pets. I loved seeing videos of Mackenzie and Maddie's pet sessions. Mackenzie was thorough in learning about how to take care of Maddie and what to know about the house. She's a great communicator. I highly recommend!”
“Rachel was wonderful with our sweet boy! She was very flexible and moved around her schedule to fit in visits with our kitty while we were away for a few days. She gave us updates and pictures each day, and we could tell Cas loved hanging out with her!”
“We've had Joann take care of our pets several times now. She feels like family at this point! We're so happy to have her care for our pets! She does a great job and with such care!”
“Elizabeth is so great with Miss Rosemary always! My sweet girl enjoys the drop in visits. I feel so at ease knowing Elizabeth will be checking on her making sure all is well when I am away!”
“Minh took care of our 2 cats for 7 days. This was the second time she sat for us and we are very pleased with her consistent service and attention to detail. Cats can be finicky but she went out of her way to engage with Scout and Biscuit and make careful observations regarding how they were doing. We are in good hands with Minh!”
“Sarah was the perfect drop in cat sitter! She communicates very well and easily understood all provided instructions and did an amazing job! Will definitely be using her services in the future!”
About: I have had years of experience both with cats as a child, as an adult with a cat and as a cat grandma and aunt. I enjoy providing enrichment which might mean lots of toys or time to cuddle and provide the level of attention your cat desires. I will follow your feeding schedule, cleaning needs and any additional requests you may have to keep your cat safe and happy while you are away.
“Nataly did a great job with caring for JT. She did everything as instructed, even while it was a slight late notice. She did a great job in allowing JT to feel comfortable as he is pretty shy boy and it takes him time to warm up to others. I would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies if you ever need someone to drop by and give them some company.”
About: I am a dog lover and empath with 2 rescue pitbulls of my own. They’re favorite cousin is a chihuahua. I’ve loved and taken care of large and small dogs for most of my life. I’m a true introverted home-body. I work from home and so my availability is very flexible. I generally only leave the home for a few hours at a time and/or for short evening/weekend socializing I’m very sensitive to a dog’s mood and natural anxieties and so I don’t take unnecessary risks. Any boarded pets would have their own private bedroom and will be kept separate even for potty breaks in my fenced yard.
“I was on vacation and Shin was fantastic with my emotional support cats. She was respectful, kept things clean and sent super cute photos. I appreciate her hard work and highly recommend.”
“Another great experience with Stevie. Due to a family emergency I had a short notice trip. Stevie was available to took great care of my cat. Excellent daily reports.”
“I absolutely love leaving my baby at home with confidence and not stressing my entire trip away. Veda was definitely a cat whisperer and was able to get my anxious baby to take her meds well.”
“Michaela is one of the best Rover’s I have ever had. She is so genuine, responsive, attentive, understanding, etc!!!! I have unfortunately had to cancel last minute and she never seems upset or bothered by the circumstances. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Michaela for being so sweet to our fur babies!!!”
“Arthur was the best! He watched Chief as if he was his own. He was professional, very timely, and caring. We will continue to ask Arthur to watch our cat any time we go away. He was great.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wildwoods
“Dana was the first sitter I used for my pup and she was absolutely amazing! My dog is very particular about things and she made sure his first day was fun and comfortable. He looked so happy and was throughly exhausted by the end of the day! Highly recommend!”
“Jeanette is such a joy to have your pet around! She is organized and detail. She provides updates and love to my Melo. Melo deals with separation anxiety but he enjoyed his time with her. He came home worn out and had a great time. I would recommend her to anyone with a little one.”
“Georgia has been enjoying spending two days a week at Alyssa and Spencer’s while her mom works. Alyssa and Spencer are great with Georgia and make her feel right at home from the moment she gets inside. We are so grateful to have found this wonderful alternative to larger doggy day cares for Georgia. Georgia doesn’t give too many details on all that she does while she is at Alyssa and Spencer’s, but on the mornings we go to their house, she can’t wait to get in the car and get there.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up with dogs and truly can’t imagine life without them. Dogs have always been a big part of my family, and they honestly come second only to my son in my heart. I’m currently the proud dog mom of two sweet pups, a Maltipoo and a Cairn Terrier mix, who love meeting new dog friends and having playtime. Because I’m already used to the daily routine of walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of cuddles, caring for dogs comes very naturally to me. I offer a safe, loving environment where your dog will be treated like part of the family. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some company during the day, or a cozy place to stay, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work remotely from home, which allows me to be present with the dogs throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to take regular walk breaks, provide playtime, and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and care. My home is calm, clean, and dog-friendly. During the day, my two dogs free roam the house. They love lounging on the couch, looking out the window, or hanging out in my office while I work. They’re friendly and used to having a relaxed routine with lots of love and supervision. At night, my dogs sleep safely in their crates as part of their routine. I’m comfortable following whatever sleeping arrangements your dog is used to so they feel as comfortable as possible while staying with me.
About: Hey everyone! I am a huge animal lover. I have always had a dog in my home whether it be a family dog or my personal dog. Currently, I have two big, high energy dogs of my own a golden retriever and a husky! I love animals and understand needing to feel like your pet is safe and loved while you’re away! I will treat your furry friends just as I would my own 🩵 I am currently on summer break for work and have open availability for scheduling! Doggy daycare is now available me for the summer to book! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly, high energy dogs as well as a one year old son who loves dogs. My dogs are good with other dogs and children as well. They enjoy playing and running around together! I also have a large crate available for us if your animal is used to being crated. We do walk and lots of play time outside in our backyard.
“Great first experience using Rover. Kimberly provided videos and detailed updates on what my puppy was doing during the day. He came home and passed out! He had so much fun. Would rebook again with her 100%”

About: I am a teacher and someone who truly loves animals. Caring for pets brings me a lot of joy, and I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are with me. Because of my work schedule, my availability is mainly on weekends. On weekdays, I can receive and drop off pets after 5 pm. During the day (8:30 am to 4:30 pm), I am at work, so pets would have a calm, quiet space at home during those hours. I always aim to create a warm, responsible, and caring environment where every dog feels at ease and well taken care of. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a teacher, I have a structured schedule during the weekdays, which allows me to plan ahead and provide consistent care. In the mornings, I can take dogs out for a walk, feeding, and some playtime before starting my day. After work, I dedicate time in the afternoon and evening for walks, attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and loved. I’m also available on weekends, where I have more flexibility to spend extra time with pets, including longer walks, playtime, and companionship. During the summer, I have significantly more availability, which makes it a perfect time for vacation bookings. You can plan your trips in advance knowing your pet will receive dedicated care and attention. I am very responsible with routines, so I always follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any specific instructions from the owner to make sure their pet feels safe and at home. When caring for pets, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they are in my home or in their own environment. In my home, I create a calm and clean space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I give them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision to make sure they feel like part of the family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am very respectful of their space and make sure to maintain the pet’s normal routine. I understand that staying in their own home can help pets feel more secure, so I focus on keeping their environment consistent while giving them companionship, care, and attention. I always pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I adjust my care to match their personality whether they are energetic and playful or calm and shy. I am also happy to send regular updates and pictures, so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands 💛
“Alisha really is the best. My dog absolutely loves her and her pets. I use her services frequently and have been very very happy and my dog is even happier not having to be alone. I feel confident she is very responsible and truely cares about my dog Hope.”
“Alicia & Don are a sweet and very nice couple. They took care of my sweet boy and he was very happy. They keep me update and sent me pics of my boy. I am so happy o was able to find a nice family to take care of my boy when I need it.”
“Olga was wonderful! Her sweet little girl got along great with my small dogs. She was very attentive and provided regular pupdates. My dogs loved staying with her and we will definitely be using her again very soon!”
About: I raised my Shih Tzu from 3 months up until I lost him to kidney disease on 9/11/2024. I walked him on a regular basis except rainy days (he hated getting wet lol), he was potty trained and free to roam the house while I was not home. Everyone ( family, friends, neighbors) knew how much I loved and cared for him. When he was in his last days from kidney failure, I stayed by his side until the end. I kept his routine the same. I pushed him in his stroller when he could not walk anymore. Administered him an IV daily to keep him hydrated when he barely ate and drank. I laid with him and held him until he let me know it was time for him to go to that Rainbow Bridge. As a newly retired person, I have plenty of time to give your furry friend(s) all the love, walks, and attention they need and deserve. Whether in my home or a clients, I provide a comfortable environment with meals, walks, playtime and companionship. I follow their routines as instructed to keep them happy and comfortable.
About: With 4 years of hands-on pet care, I’ve worked with dogs of all kinds—from playful pups to rescues needing extra patience and structure. I’ve fostered dogs with fear-based behaviors, low socialization, and leash reactivity, and helped them grow more confident through trust-building, calm leadership, and positive reinforcement. I began basic training with both fosters, working on leash skills, handling, and commands to set them up for success in their forever homes. I also trained my own golden retriever from puppyhood using positive-reinforcement methods and a focus on building a strong, trusting relationship. He’s now a friendly, well-mannered pup who loves to play and welcomes other dogs into our home. I provide a calm, loving home where pups can relax, play, and feel safe. I work from home 2–3 days per week, which means plenty of companionship, potty breaks, and enrichment throughout the day. On the days I work away from home, I’m gone no more than 7 hours—and never overnight. My home is in a walkable area with no elevators and easy access to an off-leash dog park. There’s plenty of space for your pup to feel comfortable, plus a well-socialized golden retriever who loves having a playmate. I keep a clean environment with clear, consistent boundaries inside and on leash, ensuring your pup gets structure, love, and attention that meets their unique needs—whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between. When caring for your pup in your home, I prioritize keeping things consistent and comfortable. I take the time to understand your routines, rules, and preferences so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Every household—and every dog—is different, and I’m here to support your style of care. Whether that means sticking to a specific walking schedule, reinforcing house rules, or maintaining feeding rituals, I’ll follow your lead to ensure your pup feels safe, secure, and right at home.
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old and have experience with a variety of breeds, each with their own unique personalities and care needs. My experience includes Siberian Huskies, Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies), Labrador Retrievers, and Boxers. Through years of hands-on care, I've become comfortable with daily feeding routines, walks, playtime, exercise, basic grooming, reinforcing good behavior, and providing companionship. I'm attentive to each dog's individual routine and committed to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while they're in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide attentive, reliable care while following each pet's unique routine and needs. I have a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with a dedicated sunroom where pets can relax and enjoy a comfortable environment. While I do not have a private yard, I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with access to walking areas and a nearby dog park, allowing for plenty of exercise, fresh air, and outdoor enrichment. I also have an affectionate Ragdoll cat who is comfortable around other animals and enjoys companionship. I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where every pet feels comfortable and cared for.
“Mariel was amazing with Arlo! She sent me videos and picture throughout the day. Arlo had a blast running around the yard and loved having new friends. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: Provided pet care by profession for 8 years, caring for pets by passion for my whole life! I’ve grown up with dogs & cats in our house since I can remember, and that love for pets led me to work in roles at veterinary hospitals, doggy day cares, and pet supply stores alike. With this experience your pet is sure to be cared for the right way! I work from home full time, so I’m available at all times to be there for your pet! I’m available for boarding 24/7, and can be available for walks/drop-ins whenever needed. I live in a quiet neighborhood, with plenty wide open grass space right outside of my front door, as well as a large fenced in dog area right down my street. I live in a 2B/2BA with more than enough space, and will provide a home away from home for pets. They are welcome on furniture, but happy to incorporate crates or any other rules you have set for your pet.
About: I absolutely adore dogs and have been around them my whole life. I currently have two small dogs; a 10 year old male chiweenie, Nalu and an almost 6 year old female mini dachshund, Harlie. We have a doggie door that allows our dogs (and yours if they’re small enough) to go in and out as they please. The backyard is fully fenced and there js plenty of room for sniffing and roaming! I currently work part time from home so I have plenty of time to give your dog all the attention, potty breaks, treats, and love they deserve. I have a fully fenced yard and two dogs of my own. I keep my dogs on a schedule to help with stability and predictability. We go on two walks each day and we’d be happy to bring your pup along, too!

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Wildwoods
About: Since I was ten years old, family, friends and neighbors have given me the privilege to help walk, feed, play with and bathe their pets. My sister is a vet, and growing up, the running family joke was that we owned a zoo since we had three dogs, two cats, a bunny and a horse. Being around animals from such a young age and at times helping my sister in her vet practice has allowed me to be comfortable with a wide variety of dog temperaments, sizes and needs. People who have hired me to watch their pets in the past have been impressed by my ability to provide them with personalized care. I consider myself a "dog person" and have found that dogs tend to gravitate towards me. As someone who considers pets part of the family, I understand how important it can be to make sure pets' needs are taken care of while owners are away from the home. I promise to treat your pet like my own and make sure they get lots of pets, play and love while you are gone. I'm currently a solopreneur, so I set my own schedule and have flexibility to work with your needs for times to walk your dog. For house sitting, I work from home, so I can stay with your pets any weekday or weekend that I am available. Anytime you book me to housesit, I ask that my husband can stay at your place with me (that way your pet is getting two humans to give them attention and pets for the price of one). Providing your dog with personalized care is important to me when staying at your home. As part of my house sitting services, I provide a free 15-30 minute home visit with you present. This visit allows us to make sure we both feel comfortable with the arrangement, your dog is familiar with me, and I can easily find all the necessary supplies to best care for your pet. When staying at someone else's home, I treat your place like it is my own and am always mindful to pick up after myself and leave the place as clean as I found it.
“Joann was so great with our dogs! This was our first rover experience and it was so nice to get notes and pictures of our girls from Joann while we were away!”
About: I’ve loved and taken care of dogs since my childhood. During my high school years, I was at home full-time with our dog, a Westie named Duncan, so I was responsible for feeding and walking him, letting him outside, and playing with him. Since then, I have gained additional experience with house sitting and in-home visits by taking care of friends' and neighbors' dogs. Dogs are such a joy and when I take care of them, I’m committed to making sure they feel happy and loved. I’m currently working full-time hours via two part-time jobs, one being for a church and the other at Jimmy John’s. I have flexible availability outside of my work schedule, and I am able to request breaks so I can stop by to check on your dog. It’s relatively easy for me to adjust my schedule and make time to check on your pets as needed. For in-home visits and care, I promise to be extremely careful and respectful regarding your home. I will do exactly what is required to take care of your pets. I have experience following a schedule for meal time and potty breaks, so I can adhere to any routine you keep for your pets.
“Casilya has been a god send. Shes deal with our last minute cancellations and additional requests like a champ. She is flexible whenever we need and has made multiple trips when I accidentally locked her out preventing the walk. She could have gone home and charged us anyways but she didn’t she came back to give my pup a much needed walk after I ran home on lunch to unlock the dog patio.”
“Dominique was great with my dogs. I was out of town for 4 days and she was sure to keep in communication if I had any questions or needed anything. I definitely plan on using her again when I travel again. I highly recommend her.”

I have had dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and needs and can handle anything from playtime to unhappy sailors. Walking on or off leash, feeding, and medicine are no problem at any age or temperament.
About: I have experience with kittens, pregnant cats and senior cats. Your pet will get perfect care and attention ❤️ I would be happy to help you with anything you need. I can visit your pet Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday after 4 pm. I work at a school as a TA and would love to take care of your pet. I would love to feed, clean and play with your pet as long as needed. I am an attentive to details and responsible caregiver 👍
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, primarily large dogs up until end of life, as well as cats in the last 6 years. I’ve got extensive experience with these guys, and my love for these animals runs deep! I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule is very flexible for visiting or playing with your pets! The best times to schedule me are between 8am and 8pm, but I am open to other hours with planning in advance. :) I have a screened in yard, as well as 2 crates for small dogs and cats, comfy beds, and toys for them to play with! I also have treats and a dedicated space within my home for them to relax in.
“Michaela did a great job with Sophie! She was so easy to communicate with! I felt so comfortable having Michaela take care of Sophie. She took great care of her, was reliable, and took the cutest pics! Can’t wait to have her take care of Sophie again!”
About: I currently care for an English Bull Terrier that loves people more than anything else, and is not great with dogs. She has taught me the importance of watching body language, getting ample exercise, taking safe walks to avoid other dogs, and giving all the snuggles needed. I am very aware of dogs needs and keeping distance on leashes because of her. I have been around dogs all my life, from smell driven hound dogs, to ball driven mixes, and I love to play with and care for them all! I grew up raising rats and I love them too! I know the importance of them having social interaction, clean cages, and preferred food. I am also familiar with guinea pigs and hamsters. I also have fresh water fish tanks and can do water changes, feeding and medicine. I currently don’t have any cats (or other pets) because of my dog, so I am itching to get some quality cat time in as well! I would love the chance to care for your pets too! *I will have my 2 year old daughter with me most days. She’s very gentle with animals, but does get excited and laugh a lot. I wear her on my back in a carrier when I enter homes and walk dogs, however if your pet doesn’t like kids or is scared, I won’t be able to help this summer. I am a stay at home mom so I can come check on your pets at the most convenient time for you. If you need someone to come snuggle your pets, let them out, and play with them at anytime of the day, I am your gal! I will make sure your animal has more than just a simple potty break before I leave. They will have love, attention, and exercise. I like to come in the door with a treat (if allowed!) for dogs. I will play ball until the cows come home, or give them all the snuggles and love they need.
About: I grew up with multiple dogs in the home and loved taking them on walks and doing different types of enrichment. Needless to say not much has changed, I can’t wait to help make your pets life better and yours easier! I am currently an overnight baker so early morning walks are no problem! My sleep schedule is very flexible so accommodation during the day won’t be a problem either. While I won’t be hosting any animals in my home, communication, following rules and being on time are very important to me. I can’t wait to learn all about your animals!
About: About Me Hello! I’m a passionate, responsible dog owner with over a decade of experience caring for pups of all ages. I currently have a 5-year-old dog named Cholo, and I frequently pet-sit for friends—handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and regular check-ins. Schedule & Travel Notice I work as a school photographer, which means late summer and fall bring a very dynamic schedule with variable hours and regional travel. Since my off days and travel shifts change weekly on both weekdays and weekends, I update my availability on the app every week to reflect which days I am open for drop-ins, walks, and feedings. I currently work as a seasonal photographer for a school Photography company. At this time, my schedule isn’t concrete. Some weeks are busier than others and some weeks I have to travel. I usually become more available after November and mid December. I’ll update my availability every week as my schedule comes out every Friday night after 9 PM. I’ll make sure your pet is taken out on a nice walk if needed. I will also make sure your dog get a chance to go outside to make sure he can do his business and then maybe play around with him/her for a bit after I’ll double check that he has plenty of food and water. If not, I’ll make sure to fill it up again and before leaving your home, I’ll make sure the door is locked and every gate is closed to secure your dog doesn’t try and get out of your home.

My experience includes Siberian Huskies, Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies), Labrador Retrievers, and Boxers. Through years of hands-on care, I've become comfortable with daily feeding routines, walks, playtime, exercise, basic grooming, reinforcing good behavior, and providing companionship. I'm attentive to each dog's individual routine and committed to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while they're in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide attentive, reliable care while following each pet's unique routine and needs. I have a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with a dedicated sunroom where pets can relax and enjoy a comfortable environment. While I do not have a private yard, I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with access to walking areas and a nearby dog park, allowing for plenty of exercise, fresh air, and outdoor enrichment. I also have an affectionate Ragdoll cat who is comfortable around other animals and enjoys companionship. I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where every pet feels comfortable and cared for.
About: I’ve raised five rescue dogs and two rescue cats over the years. I currently have two pups: my Lola, a working breed with many VERY important jobs that the future of this country depends on (if you ask her) and Linus, my funemployed couch potato. My dogs are my life and they’re spoiled for it is their God-given right. I extend that same God-given right to every pet I care for :) They deserve the best in life! They’ll get as much walking, snuggling, fetch, or enrichment if they need their minds kept busy. I also sing opera and jazz to them but will stop if they tell me to 🙂↕️ I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs: high energy herding/working breeds, snuggly companion breeds, 70 lb lapdogs, dogs with separation anxiety, dogs with eccentricities that we don’t judge - this is a safe space. I’ve watched so many dogs that make me crack up with their antics. I’m also a big cat lover. I have experience with social cats who need to help out when I’m doing yoga or cooking or just want to snuggle and watch movies. I also have experience with divas and independent cats who lurk and come out when and if they feel like it. I know it can be tough when you’re away from your pets, so I do everything I can to keep their routines consistent and comforting. On the first day of a house sit, I’ll usually work a half day so I can spend extra time helping them settle in or get their new person excitement out. After that, I work a flexible 9-5ish from your home, so they’ll have plenty of company throughout the day. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I leave to walk my dogs and run errands but aside from that I’m with your pets. I prefer at least a couple days notice but can occasionally do last minute so don’t be afraid to ask! I’m comfortable pet sitting at your home and will follow the routine your pet is used to. Unfortunately, I can’t offer boarding at my house.
“Have used Chelsea many times now and she always goes above and beyond. Love her and the care she take of my Honey. First choice when it comes to rebooking!”
About: I had my own dogs for 18 years when I lived in England, however since I have lived in America I have not had any of my own, but have been able to make friends with many four legged friends belonging to different families, in all cases we looked after all of their needs, including in one case special medication. When living in England, being a great dog lover, I would go to many dog shows, the best being Crufts, and although I was not showing I thoroughly enjoyed meeting up with many different dog breeders and loved every minute of it. It was at one of these shows that I got very friendly with the breeder of a Pekingeses, and ended up making one part of my family. I am now retired so I am able to be at home all day to watch your pup, making sure they have regular potty breaks and walks!
“Irvin was so kind and gracious. He volunteered to watch our pups at the last minute and took such good care of them. He was communicative and attentive to our messages about the walk. Will be booking Irving again in the future! ?”

“Alyssa and her husband did an awesome job with Marlowe! They truly listened to my instructions and made Marlowe feel comfortable! They took photos and kept me updated and showed just how my pup son was a happy camper!”
“Once again just the perfect sitter that makes life easy and flexible for us- and sends our puppers bad smelling fresh and clean. They probably look forward to the next vacation as much as we do!”
“Cheryl took great care of our boxer Copper! We loved getting pictures and updates while we were away and it was clear that she loves dogs. He was well taken care of and she made him very comfortable in her home!”
“This was my first rover experience in Charlotte. Linda was great with my dog Riggins! She sent tons of pictures and updates. Riggins had a great time with her! She even accommodated me when my flight was canceled which gave me such peace of mind! Will def book with her again!”
“Carolina did a wonderful job of taking care of Seamus. I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the week. It’s great that she has a dog that my dog could play with and run around with. Will definitely book again!”
“Amy & Ross continue to be excellent caregivers for our pups! Communicative and willing to go the extra mile (and that includes literally in the form of hikes), you can rest assured they will keep your pups happy and healthy”
“Diamond is such a phenomenal sitter! She had a birthday party for one of my pups complete with pictures, treats, gifts, and a party hat! I know my pups feel comfortable with her because when we arrive they run directly to the door with tails wagging and leashes dragging!”
“Deborah was the perfect sitter for our dog MaryAnn while we were away for 12 days overseas. We loved that Deborah had a big fenced in back yard, worked from home, and only took on one dog at a time. It helped recreate our dog’s typical experience at home. Deborah was quick to respond to our booking inquiry and was happy to set up a meet and greet in which she took many notes. Deborah clearly had a lot of dog experience on and off Rover and she was confident she and MaryAnn would get on well. Deborah would send us frequent updates and even handled MaryAnns tummy issues. She was also great about administering MaryAnn’s medications and heartworm pill as instructed. When we picked MaryAnn up she was clearly exhausted from spending lots of time playing out and she definitely seemed extremely happy and comfortable on Deborah’s home. Highly recommend Deborah for your boarding experience!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Hunter was amazing. She was so accommodating and my little Kirby seemed to have a great time. She sent pictures and shared funny stories about him. I would absolutely use her again.”
“Dan is absolutely amazing!! This is the second time our pup, Xello has stayed with Dan, this time for 7 nights! Xello does not skip a beat from our house to Dan’s house and back. He stays on his schedule and loves spending time with him. It gives us such a peace of mind knowing he is safe, comfortable and having fun while we’re out of town. We are so grateful we found Dan and Xello does not have go to back to traditional boarding that we all dreaded. Xello will be back to Dan’s again shortly.”
“Stephanie was great! She was very accommodating to the quick request for Sailor to stay. Sailor had a great time playing with her dog Nico and is going to sleep hard after the stay. Stephanie also sent several updates on how he was doing with photos included.”
“I can’t say enough to express my appreciation to London and her family! I feel completely confident to leave my babies to London while I was traveling outside of the US. I can tell how much my babies love her! Highly recommended!”
“Michaela took incredible care of our dog and was so sweet to him! She sent tons of photos and updates which made us feel extra confident he was getting great care since it was our first time using Rover. Our dog can be a handful and Michaela was so patient and kind with him. She even went as far as laying on the floor with him when he was being whiny. We’d recommend her to anyone!”
“Bella and Roscoe really enjoyed their time with Ms. Debra. My Bella girl usually takes awhile to warm up to people but she felt right t home when I took them. Ms. Debra sent pictures and answered any messages I sent her in a timely manner. She also very kind to me and to my fur babies. I think we will stay with Ms. Debra again.”
“Wes is like a dog whisperer to our Nikko who is typically extremely anxious. But with Wes, he has always seemed comfortable. We’ve been working with Wes for about 3 years and appreciate how he only keeps one dog at a time. And today he really helped us out with a last-minute request. We highly recommend him to care for your pet!!”
