“I would 100% recommend Brenda. This was the first vacation that I have been on without Casey that I did not worry about him at all! He was having so much fun and getting so much attention that I felt like he was on vacation too. Brenda sent an update and pictures every day. She even bought him extra treats and gave him a bath! It's so nice knowing we have someone that treats Casey like we do. I would have never met Brenda without Rover. Thank you Rover!”
“I'm happy I chose Anna, she took excellent care of my senior Husky. She responded quickly and sent updates and photos. Anna will be the only place I bring my girl Dakota in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Another great experience with Jessica during the holidays. She was very patient and kind with Bagheera while she got reacquainted with the surroundings. I will book Jessica without hesitation when I am out of town again.”
“Chewie just returned from his second home and was, once again, spoiled!! Lots of photos were sent to allow me to enjoy my vacation knowing he was enjoying his! Thank you to Jill and family for making him feel so special!”
“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.”
“Our two bulldogs had a wonderful stay with Matthew and his family. We received excellent communication, daily photos and knew are pups were being treated with attentive care including lots of walks and play time. We would definitely use Matthew again for pet-sitting services. Thank you so much!”
“Christal is so sweet. I can tell she really cares. She gave updates and was a great communicator. She took excellent care of our almost 16 year old beagle. I trust her to be our dog sitter when we leave town.”
“Lauren was wonderful. I got daily updates on our girl and that meant the world. I had to extend for a day and she was more than happy to accommodate my change in plans. Will definitely have her watch Rosie in the future.”
“My dog had a great time with Sarah and her family. She was comfortable and there were plenty of other pups to play with. Bonus of Sarah's neighborhood is that no fireworks are allowed!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Mr Daniel. He sends updates all day, everyday. First time using Rover and he was the man. Thank you for looking after Piper, she is a needy/talkative dog and you had no complaints. I look forward to using Mr Daniel again to watch Piper!”
“Ann and her family is amazing! I am thankful we found them and they were available during the holiday weekend. They went above and beyond for my big boy Chuck making him a part of their family. My favorite highlight was the 4th of July pup treats she made for the three dogs. Ann sent updates and lovely pics which put me at ease during my vacation. They were very accommodating and took great care of Chuck. 10/10 I recommend! Chuck will definitely be going back to their family.”
“My dogs always have the best time staying with Christy and her family. They are great with communication/updates. My boys are always loved when staying here. Can’t wait to book with them again! 😊❤️”
“We had an amazing experience with Carol! From the moment we met her and her husband, it was clear our dog was in great hands. They were attentive, reliable, and treated our pup like family. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. You can tell Carol genuinely loves what she does. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and will absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“I recently hired Mara through Rover to take care of my dogs Maya and Skye, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Mara was kind, professional, and attentive to every detail of my pet’s needs. She communicated consistently, sending updates and pictures that reassured me my dogs were in great hands. They both seemed genuinely happy and comfortable with her, which speaks volumes about her ability to connect with animals. She went above and beyond, ensuring that all instructions were followed and even leaving my home spotless. I highly recommend Mara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. She truly treats your pet like her own!””
“My first experience was amazing! Adrienne ensured my little one was safe and cared for. She walked me through the process with so much patience. A bonus…she is an amazing pet photographer!”
“First time ever using Chrissy for my 5 month pup she was wonderful sending pictures and updates on how my dog was doing . I loved that she was treated like a family pet allowed to not be crate all day , she was able to jump on couch and feel like home , play outside and join the other dogs for playtime . I highly recommend crissy care 5 stars ⭐️”
“We were so pleased with the care Laura gave to Jax while we were on our trip! She gave me regular updates and pictures to let me know he was well taken care of. Definitely, recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

I’ve cared for cats in friends’ homes and always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well looked after while their owners are away.
“While I was on my honeymoon, Justin did more than a phenomenal job. My husband and I have never used rover before and have a ton of cats (6 inside and 10+ strays we feed). Justin kept me up to date everyday with great photos, told me how they were doing and made sure they ate and we're fine without us haha. If I could ever only recommend one person, it would be Justin. He is absolutely fantastic and if you're looking for someone to take care of your animal while you are gone, Justin is your guy.”
“Kaylee was great! She is very communicative and respectful! My one fur baby was obsessed with her! My other one warms up slowly so she hid most of the time, but Kaylee was patient and let her have her space which I appreciated!!”
“Hannah is super nice! We chatted for almost an hour and we immediately knew we wanted her to sit for us for our future trips! Both cats immediately fell in love with her quicker than anyone else! I highly recommend her as a sitter for your fur babies! I can’t wait for future trips and to schedule her to sit our fur babies!”

“Our German shepherd (Zeus) is a very anxious, does not like other dogs, does not take treats from people either, some may say aggressive but really, he’s just scared.we needed to find a person that could handle him, in other words know how to take the lead, show him “it’s okay” . We were amazed at how quickly she created a bond with him! Jack has the talent/skill and knowledge for taking care of big anxious dogs and sassy ones too. Recommend 10 out of 10. Now we can take vacations!!”

About: Over the last 12 years, I’ve cared for dogs of every temperament, including shy rescues and sweet seniors. I specialize in creating a calm, low-stress environment where dogs feel safe and respected. I'm patient, attentive to physical needs, and happy to stick strictly to their comfort zones. I’m working from home, so I am very flexible to offer my services! Since I work from home, I have a highly flexible schedule! I'm available for daytime drop-ins, flexible boarding, and plenty of active breaks. Your pet will enjoy consistent attention and companionship all day long. When staying with me, your pet gets the ultimate work-from-home companion experience! Since I am home all day, they will enjoy constant company, cozy nap spots, and frequent potty and play breaks in a safe, fully supervised environment. I keep your pet’s daily routine perfectly on track to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. For dogs, I offer structured walks and plenty of play. For cats, I provide fresh food, pristine litter boxes, and gentle, boundary-respecting attention. You can expect secure home check-ups and happy photo updates with every single visit!
“I was very happy with the care Sam received. Brenda is very patient and knowledgeable. Sam was very shy and she worked with that. He loved running with her. Her daughter was amazing with him. He followed her everywhere. He also got along with Brenda’s pets. I have already booked her again.”
About: I currently have 4 husky pups that are very well socialized and would love more friends to play with. I also work with rescue groups to help pups in need. I have never met a pup I didn’t love! I currently work from home. Your pet will hardly be in a create and will be treated just like one of mine. Many potty breaks throughout the day. I often get on the floor and play so they know I am part of the pack. Toys? Well let’s just say there is not a shortage of toys in the house. Every room we visit has a “toy box”. Treats? No shortage of those here either but, I like to make them earn them - like enforcing commands they already know and rewarding them for going potty. I have almost a half acre with a fully fenced in back yard. Your pet will go out multiple times a day. I also foster and rescue pups so I am very good with socializing new pups with mine. They have previously lived with smaller pups such as a Jack Russell and Yorkie and they loved them to pieces. They also attend “daycare” and “overnight camp” in order to keep them socialized. I also feel like meet and greets are important to ensure your pup(s) interact well with mine. Safety is my number one concern. As I have stated mine are well socialized and I want nothing more to help others socialize theirs as well. Safety is a top priority in my home. I do accept puppies you well you just need to message me separately is we can discuss. My yard is fully fenced in and almost a 1/2 acre. I stop my work day to play fetch it for them for about an hour.
“Absolutely the best!!!! My pups were well taken care of. I received wonderful photos well me and hubby were out attending a birthday celebration for our two grandchildren two hors away. I highly recommend and will definitely use again if before September. Since they are making a move to Texas. We wish them well and really wish they were staying and had used them sooner. Thank you for loving our babies.”

It sounds like everything went smoothly, and we're happy to have found Chelesa to look after Remi for us! We're confident and comfortable leaving Remi with Chelsea the next time we need it!”
“Sarah and her family have a beautiful home and an amazing backyard for the pups! Her dogs are very sweet and Gracie had lots of attention and play time. Communication was also excellent. I highly recommend Sarah and her family. Thanks guys!”
About: Hi there! I am a loving, active dog sitter with years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes—from energetic little pups to gentle giants. Dogs aren't just pets for me; I love "working" with them, playing brain games, and practicing fun tricks to keep them happy and engaged. I have my own beloved 13-year-old female White Swiss Shepherd. Because my sweet senior lady is getting older, I'm not ready to bring a new dog permanently into my life just yet—but I have so much love to give, which is why I would love to help you out with yours! My Home & Routine: Always Supervised: I work from home, meaning your dog will have constant company, plenty of bathroom breaks, and endless attention. The Yard: I have a great garden for fresh air and stretching legs. Please note: It is currently unfenced, so I always supervise outdoor time and use long training leashes for safety. Special Care: Because of my experience with my own senior dog, I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medication if your dog needs it. What I am looking for: Since I have kids, it is very important for me that your pup is fully comfortable and friendly with kids. I can't wait to treat your dog like a member of my own family! As a long-time Rover user, I know exactly what goes into providing excellent care. To give you peace of mind, I would be happy to meet you before you book! And! As a photographer, I also offer a mini-photoshoot for your dog—in addition to the regular updates and photos. I am always at home. Our children are at daycare during the day. But they are already looking forward to playing and cuddling with your dogs and my husband works from home. I have a garden, but no fence. Your dog is free to roam throughout the house. I will go for three walks: in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. If it is very warm at midday, I extend morning and evening walks so that your dog doesn't burn their paws. Our dog will be kept separate from yours.

“I have never left my 8-year old beagle, Cody with anyone other than immediate family, and I couldn't have been happier of the way Karlee and her dogs "kept a good eye" on Cody. Karlee got to experience how much of a cuddler Cody is, and it gave him a much-needed opportunity to interact with other dogs, especially dogs that are bigger. Karlee is a very "upbeat" and positive person, and a real dog lover, so I would recommend her to anyone in the Charlotte area.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover based on a 10-acre homestead in Pageland, SC. I specialize in structured, safe boarding with supervised outdoor time and secure indoor accommodations. We have a brand-new 6-foot wooden privacy fence enclosing our backyard, providing a secure area for dogs to exercise, stretch, and explore during supervised potty breaks and play sessions. Guests stay in our large climate-controlled sunroom outfitted with seven kennels, giving each dog their own secure space to rest comfortably between outdoor time, meals, and enrichment. Crate rotation and routine breaks are built into our daily schedule, ensuring dogs have consistency and predictability. Crate & House Access Policy • Crating is standard when we are away or sleeping, and during rest periods. • Potty breaks are offered approximately every 2 hours during waking hours. • For older, calm, fully house-trained, non-destructive, and cat-friendly dogs, free-roam house access may be considered on a case-by-case basis with owner request and compatibility assessment. • Dogs with separation anxiety, destructive tendencies, or unsafe habits (counter-surfing, door-bolting, etc.) will remain on our structured crate schedule for their safety. Experience & Approach I’ve owned and cared for everything from hedgehogs and geckos to chickens, horses, and working-breed dogs. I’m comfortable with: • Medication administration (oral or topical) • Senior dogs • Puppies & house-training stages • Reactive or shy personalities • High-energy dogs who require clear routines • Multi-dog coexistence and safe rotations My husband runs his own business and is home most of the time, ensuring someone is almost always present for supervision, potty break intervals, and routine care. I am home evenings and weekends, and we work together to provide structure, security, and consistent monitoring. What You Can Expect • Individual crate spaces (no shared kennels) • 6-ft fully fenced private yard • Consistent potty break schedule (≈ every 2 hours) • Supervised outdoor time only • Optional house freedom only if fully compatible • Daily updates, photos, and communication We focus on safe, predictable, and tailored care based on each dog’s needs and the comfort level of their owner. Whether a pup thrives with structured crate rest or enjoys calm, supervised sunroom naps, we tailor stays responsibly rather than one-size-fits-all. I work full-time as an insurance producer in Monroe, NC from 8–5, Monday through Friday. I’m home all day on weekends, and during the week, my husband is at our homestead full-time and helps provide care and supervision. Since we work as a team, your pets will never be left alone for long periods. I’m also available for morning or evening drop-ins and walks depending on location and schedule! We live on a peaceful 10-acre homestead. We do not allow free play with other pets - so you know that your furry friend is safe and sound the entire stay! They will have supervised playtime with other pups from the same household, or with just our staff! Our top priority is a safe stay.
“Hannah was excellent with our animals. Whenever we had to make different accommodations she was very responsive and able to meet our needs. I will definitely be rebooking with Hannah as she took great care of our animals and they enjoyed her company as well.”
“Brenda was amazing with our pups! She jogged with our younger one, which can be a challenge but she was clearly up to it! Our older girl, she tried to walk her but she's not usually up for leaving the driveway when her routine is disrupted ?. Brenda is a great communicator, very punctual and clearly loves her job. Will 100% use Brenda next time we need a hand.”
“Everything you want as a pet owner: asked all the right questions, followed instructions and schedule to the letter, sent pics on every interaction. Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for 15+ years now, which include dogs, cats, birds, lizards etc. I thoroughly enjoy watching their personalities develop as I get to know them.

I work Monday- Friday. Mornings until mid afternoon preferred. I take high precautions when taking care of a dog in someone else’s home by playing with them, letting them potty or taking them for a walk when needed. As well as communicating with clients to ensure their animal is in great care.

“I would 100% recommend Brenda. This was the first vacation that I have been on without Casey that I did not worry about him at all! He was having so much fun and getting so much attention that I felt like he was on vacation too. Brenda sent an update and pictures every day. She even bought him extra treats and gave him a bath! It's so nice knowing we have someone that treats Casey like we do. I would have never met Brenda without Rover. Thank you Rover!”

From the very beginning, Mara was kind, professional, and attentive to every detail of my pet’s needs. She communicated consistently, sending updates and pictures that reassured me my dogs were in great hands. They both seemed genuinely happy and comfortable with her, which speaks volumes about her ability to connect with animals. She went above and beyond, ensuring that all instructions were followed and even leaving my home spotless. I highly recommend Mara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.
