“Tara was great with Trapper. She was super flexible and easy to work with and sent several pics so we knew he was having fun and being well taken care of. We weren’t sure if he’d be ok playing with her dogs, but they were super sweet and immediately accepted him as part of the group. He had a blast while we were away.”

We have taken our pups to many different people through Rover, and Pepper is one of the best! Highly recommended!!”

She also runs a daycare, so I'm glad my dog had plenty of friends to play with. Thanks again!”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for all types of animals. I’ve always had to make sure all of them were feed and water. I’ve dog sit for family friends before while they went out of town and i had to go to their house and feed, water them, take them out to play and use the bathroom, gave them baths if they need them. I took care and dog sit all kinds of animals and sizes, from puppies to older dogs, and even cats too, all up to farm animals. I’m a stay at home mom to a 2 year old. I have a 3 year old male dog that’s unaltered. I’m available anytime to dog sit or board. I have a house with a nice little yard for your fur babies to run and play! I’m always going outside every 2-3 hours almost to walk my dog. Of course I will walk your dog first because I know my dog can hold it until afterwards
“She had a wonderful time with them, I enjoyed conversation with them, I got to know them before hand. I would have them watch Sabrina again, Thank You Terry and Kristal... have a wonderful holiday”
“Lauren happily took in our 2 cats last minute. She did a fantastic job looking after them and has a lovely setup for housing cats in her home. I’d be more than happy to use Lauren again and would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their cats.”
“Max seemed very happy and well taken care of. I think he enjoyed playing with their dog Sammy and being around children. Thanks for taking such good care of him, see you next time!”
“Pamela is an absolute angel and true animal lover. I run a local dog rescue and was in need of a sitter for one of our foster pups for the holiday weekend. Pamela went above and beyond for our sweet Paddington. She consistently sent updates/pics , took him on multiple walks per day, and showered him with love and affection. Moreover, she exceeded her duties as a sitter by helping market and promote Paddington in hopes that he would find his forever family. She sees the beauty in all dogs and is one of the most compassionate and genuine people I have met. I understand that it’s unnerving to leave your fur baby with someone you aren’t acquainted with. However, I can say with the utmost confidence, Pamela will love and care for your dog to the highest regard. You won’t find anyone more amazing than Pamela.”
“Leslie was fantastic; so you know, I gave her 5 stars. She sent regular updates via text about my dogs. She incorporated them into her life and did a great job. Clearly they were happy to see me when I got home, but just as evidently they had enjoyed their time with Leslie. I plan to use her again and I would recommend her services to anybody who is looking for some great pet-sitting. Thank you Leslie!”
“Dana was fantastic, and Barkley had a great weekend with her! She made sure he was comfortable and it looks like he made himself right at home. We received lots of photos and he looked so happy in all of them! She was incredibly flexible with her schedule in terms of picking him up from our house and dropping him back off. I would 100% recommend her and would choose her again to take care of our pup!”

“Madison is amazing. She took the best care of my kitties and was very responsible, attentive, and made sure they got lots of attention. I highly recommend her. I’m definitely sticking with her.”
“Jocelyn is outstanding. I have used her several times for drop in visits for my 2 senior cats. She takes excellent care of the cats and their space. She is diligent, trustworthy, and responsive.”
“Victoria was wonderful! We met her prior to starting her drop in visits and she familiarized herself with walk procedures. Every day I received an update on her visit along with pictures of our happy doggos which made going away easier on my guilt. We came home to two happy pups.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. My own dogs, my neighbors have asked me to drop in while they were on vacation, and my parents friends have had me dog and house sit while they were away. I take the time to get to know what the pets need instead of taking a one size fits all approach. I’m available all week, whatever time. I’m not working any other jobs so I’m available whenever pets need it or pet parents want an extra check in or reassurance. I make sure they’re comfortable, whether that’s in a crate or just on a bed, constantly check their food and water, and make sure they’re good and tired before I stop playing with them.
“Emily was so helpful and attentive to Gunters needs! I loved getting updates daily, she took the sweetest pictures of my kitty. Towards the end of my trip, Gunter unfortunately contracted a uti. Thanks to Emily texting me and keeping me updated, I was able to book a vet appointment for as soon as I could so that he could get treated. I could not recommend her more!”
“Paris & Saint J are so lucky to have Jessi take care of them. Jessi was very responsive and she took such wonderful care of my cats while I was away. I really appreciated how responsive she was —always quick to reply to my messages and keep me updated with photos and little notes about how the cats were doing. Even better, she was proactive about making sure my cats’ needs were met, from playtime to feeding and even noticing the little details that keep my cats happy and comfortable. It’s such a relief to know my pets are in such caring and attentive hands. Thank you so much, Jessi!”
“We couldn’t have been happier with Timothy’s care for our cat Oskar. He is the first of many sitters who stayed with Oskar for the entire 30+ minutes, which means the world to us as customers and as pet owners. We are looking forward to having Timothy watch Oskar for future travel!”

There is no size too big or too small, I adore all very much and know how worrying it is to leave your pet in someone else’s care, I assure you they would be loved very much while in my hands! I work from home so I have plenty of time and availability to spend and care for your fur baby while you’re away!

I currently have 2 indoor dogs, both crate and (mostly) potty trained. I have a mid sized boxer and a small mix breed, they are both girls that are dog and kid friendly and as sweet as can be.

“Lisa was wonderful with our dog Minnie! She sent us pictures of her making friends with the resident pups and made sure to ask about care instructions, such as feeding and potty routines. We were very grateful that she offered to do a meet and greet so that Minnie could meet her dogs and get comfortable. We haven’t had our dog for very long and we were a little anxious about leaving her with a sitter for the first time, but we felt so comfortable leaving Minnie in her care and definitely plan to come back!”

“This was the first “home” visit for Brandy. Roman and Jasmine made us feel secure in leaving her for several hours. This was also our first Rover experience. It is much more expensive than daycare in Charlotte but at least the option was available.”
About: I got my dog when I was 13 and she was the best thing that happened to me. She was the most loving and caring dog I ever met but lost her to a serious illness and I just love to give out my heart to animals and would love to spend some time with your animals. I am a stay at home mom and the moment. Son is five and in kindergarten and he loves animals just as much as I do but because I’m not completely over losing my dog I haven’t been able to get him a dog for himself. I’m home and have a dog park right now the road from me so keeping dogs a breeze. I always have an eye on the animals. Never feed food other then the kind given. Nothing in the rooms that they would stay in that could hurt them.

About: Animals are one of my favorite things in the world. I can take care of all different species, but am most knowledgeable with dogs and cats. I can administer medications, bathe, excercise and more. But most importantly, I can make sure they’re happy and safe! I am home from college for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies and can provide flexible scheduling too!

I also keep owners updated with pictures and messages for peace of mind.
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up around animals taught me early on how much love, patience, and attention they need to thrive. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog with the same care, affection, and responsibility I would give my own. Creating a safe, happy, and comfortable environment for them isn’t just important to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to be home often and provide attentive, hands on care. This means more playtime, regular walks, consistent routines, and plenty of love for your pup throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment. I have a fully fenced-in yard for secure outdoor play and exercise, as well as a crate available if a dog is crate trained or needs their own quiet space. I also have a friendly, well socialized Lab who loves other dogs and makes a great companion for pups who enjoy having a playmate.
About: I’ve had lifelong experience caring for pets of my own and have spent the past 6 years pet sitting for others. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly treat every pet in my care like family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, as well as cats and other small pets. From playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique routine and needs. I’m confident with: • Feeding schedules and special diets • Daily walks and exercise • Basic medication administration • Maintaining routines and house rules • Sending regular photo and video updates My goal is always to provide loving, reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine. I make time every day for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and lots of affection. I’m very mindful about not overbooking so that each pet gets the focused care and attention they deserve. Because animals have always been a big part of my life, caring for them doesn’t feel like an extra task — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and plan my week around. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special preferences to ensure consistency and comfort. I provide: • Fresh food and water at each visit • Clean litter boxes or yard clean-up as needed • Walks and exercise based on your pet’s energy level • Playtime, enrichment, and companionship • Plenty of affection (if they enjoy it!) • Detailed updates with photos after each visit I also treat every client’s home with the utmost respect — keeping things tidy, secure, and exactly as you left them. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home.

About: I’m retired and using my spare time to look after fur babies of all shapes and sizes. I love pets and have years of experience in animal training too! If you’re looking for full time, comprehensive care, this is it. 😊 As a retired veteran, this is my main source of income and I’m very dedicated to it. I am involved in pet care every day because I have a dog and cat of my own and I love them like family. Taking care of animals puts me at ease and helping others is my mission in life, so I’m very devoted to doing this job well.

About: My name is Sara! I'm a dog enthusiast with 20 years experience training, exercising, and caring for dogs. I graduated from Penn Foster Career School's Dog Training Program. I love to help people fulfill their dogs needs! I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work with dogs full time so I'm able to fulfill their daily needs with ease. We walk every day but also go on adventures to the park and beach. I'm Pet CPR and First Aid Trained. I have a completely fenced yard, but dogs are supervised at all times. I have experience with fearful dog safety. Dogs are crated or tethered while driving. Someone is almost always home with the dogs. I also have a Furbo video camera to monitor dogs if I do need to leave for a short time. ***Due to having 2-3 dogs staying with me at times, I only offer meet & greets, pick up, and drop off from my clients homes. I find this keeps the excitement and stress level down for all dogs staying. It's also more convenient for you and me. If you want to see the accommodations, I can do a video tour with you. I also post videos and pics to my social media so you can see what your dog is up to during there stay.***
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life, both big and small. I understand the patience and commitment when taking care of dogs. As a college student I spend a lot of times away from my own dogs, so I can confirm that I will provide a lot of love and care for your furry friend! I am currently a full time college student but have free days Sunday, Monday, Friday and Wednesday (all day). However, I am willing to work with your needs and find time on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 5pm. I can come to your home and care for your dog how you please. I love taking walks, so I can provide some extra fun an exercise for your dog!
About: I have always loved dogs! I used to get so mad at my parents as a kid for making our dog stay outside alone. I used to sit outside with her to make sure she always felt loved. When I turned 20 I adopted my first dog, Lily a Great Dane, and then at 23 my husband and I adopted our little chipper! We’ve had a turtle and lots of fish in between then and now! I always loved going on adventures with them: lots of road trips, hikes, runs and trips to the beach (when we lived there). Lily is no longer with us but was the best dog to adventure with. Our 13 year old chipper is starting to slow down and his arthritis is causing him to be unable to walk as far as we used to. He’s been on all the hikes around here, we would go to watering holes and beaches. With smallish kids and busy schedules we are not planning on adopting another dog anytime soon. I miss having a buddy to go on hikes in the woods with so if you want your pup to have an adventure I am here to help! I’m a full time mom but I don’t pick up my youngest from school until 11:30 am. I will have 3 hours everyday free M-Fr. I would love to take your best friend out into the woods to offer him more enrichment than he could get just in a neighborhood! I would be willing to buy a harness for a dog to be kept in the back seat while traveling- if that would make you comfortable! I’ve got window locks on my back door windows to make sure they don’t jump out. I am not willing to take a dog if the lead during hikes even if they have a great recall- too much can happen in the woods! I’m pretty confident on the hikes that I take and I only go places that I am familiar with the terrain.
“Jessi is such a lovely lady who makes my mind and heart at ease when my beloved MazeyJo is with her. Every time she walks my girl while I am at work, I receive the best smiley doggy photos, a wonderful Rover Card update and could not be more pleased with her services. When her profile says "Your pets new BFF", she isn't kidding. Thank you so much, Jessi.”

I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your I currently have a remote nurse job so I have one plenty of free time to play with and take care of your fur babies. My 3 dogs are friendly and play well with others. I have crates where I can board dogs at night or during nap time or seperate them if needed.

About: I have been a pet lover since birth. Throughout my life, I had lived with dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, snakes and even a pet skunk. I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to assist and care for injured and rehabilitated raptors, spent several years as a foster mom for orphaned bats, and assisted in researching black bears. I currently live with three sweetie pie pups, a 9 and 6 year old golden retrievers, Deal and Bear and a 7 year old mixed rescue named Carly. I am available to come to your home and walk, run, feed, water, cuddle, and play with your animal(s). Your pets will love me and I will love them back. I am currently working from my home, so I have plenty of availability for whatever and whenever you need someone to help out with your home and pets. I will keep a watchful eye out for your animals and send frequent photos and updates to you while your babies are under my care.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for over 10 years and genuinely love being around animals. Growing up with pets has given me experience with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing their individual needs and personalities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will treat them with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own. Whether your pet needs an energetic playmate or a calm companion, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and reliable experience. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I make it a priority to communicate clearly with pet owners and ensure their pets receive consistent care, attention, and affection while they’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines to help pets feel secure and maintain consistency. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to build trust with them while providing plenty of attention, patience, and care. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

I personally enjoy taking walks a couple times a day, so you never have to fret about their potty schedule. Your pup will come back to you fresh, fed, and happy! I thoroughly follow my client’s instructions while providing excellent care. I have a 5 year old blue heeler that LOVES to play if your pup wants company while hanging out :)
“Tori was so easy to communicate with. She treated our dog Hulk with great care and had lot of compassion. I also appreciate that she helped us on such short notice so we could spend the day with dear friends/family. Thank you Tori! We would highly recommend her.”

“Tara was great with Trapper. She was super flexible and easy to work with and sent several pics so we knew he was having fun and being well taken care of. We weren’t sure if he’d be ok playing with her dogs, but they were super sweet and immediately accepted him as part of the group. He had a blast while we were away.”

“Pepper took great care of our toy poodle, maltipoo, and chihuahua for 3 days and sent a lot of pictures of them having fun and relaxing.

We have taken our pups to many different people through Rover, and Pepper is one of the best! Highly recommended!!”

About: I grew up on a farm caring for all types of animals. I’ve always had to make sure all of them were feed and water. I’ve dog sit for family friends before while they went out of town and i had to go to their house and feed, water them, take them out to play and use the bathroom, gave them baths if they need them. I took care and dog sit all kinds of animals and sizes, from puppies to older dogs, and even cats too, all up to farm animals. I’m a stay at home mom to a 2 year old. I have a 3 year old male dog that’s unaltered. I’m available anytime to dog sit or board. I have a house with a nice little yard for your fur babies to run and play! I’m always going outside every 2-3 hours almost to walk my dog. Of course I will walk your dog first because I know my dog can hold it until afterwards
“She had a wonderful time with them, I enjoyed conversation with them, I got to know them before hand. I would have them watch Sabrina again, Thank You Terry and Kristal... have a wonderful holiday”
“Lauren happily took in our 2 cats last minute. She did a fantastic job looking after them and has a lovely setup for housing cats in her home. I’d be more than happy to use Lauren again and would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their cats.”
“Max seemed very happy and well taken care of. I think he enjoyed playing with their dog Sammy and being around children. Thanks for taking such good care of him, see you next time!”
“Pamela is an absolute angel and true animal lover. I run a local dog rescue and was in need of a sitter for one of our foster pups for the holiday weekend. Pamela went above and beyond for our sweet Paddington. She consistently sent updates/pics , took him on multiple walks per day, and showered him with love and affection. Moreover, she exceeded her duties as a sitter by helping market and promote Paddington in hopes that he would find his forever family. She sees the beauty in all dogs and is one of the most compassionate and genuine people I have met. I understand that it’s unnerving to leave your fur baby with someone you aren’t acquainted with. However, I can say with the utmost confidence, Pamela will love and care for your dog to the highest regard. You won’t find anyone more amazing than Pamela.”
“Leslie was fantastic; so you know, I gave her 5 stars. She sent regular updates via text about my dogs. She incorporated them into her life and did a great job. Clearly they were happy to see me when I got home, but just as evidently they had enjoyed their time with Leslie. I plan to use her again and I would recommend her services to anybody who is looking for some great pet-sitting. Thank you Leslie!”
“Dana was fantastic, and Barkley had a great weekend with her! She made sure he was comfortable and it looks like he made himself right at home. We received lots of photos and he looked so happy in all of them! She was incredibly flexible with her schedule in terms of picking him up from our house and dropping him back off. I would 100% recommend her and would choose her again to take care of our pup!”
“Super grateful to have found Alexandra while we were passing through Taccoa! She was very flexible with our schedule and patient with Canela! We would book with her again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! Growing up with my grandparents, we’ve had 5 dogs and 3 cats at one time. I’m used to many different breeds from small dogs to larger dogs like a German Shepard Husky Mix. I currently have a 1 year old mixed breed (Medium Size: 50 lb) dog! I’m not sure exactly what breed he is but is listed in my profile :) I am home full time, I have one dog that is my ESA and he goes outside when he wants to, has a morning and evening feeding schedule and I clip his nails & bathe him every other week. Dogs are allowed on furniture & bed. I have a mid-size fenced in backyard with turf grass, safe for pets to run around and play in. I have plenty of balls, toys, and bones for pets to chew, and plenty of treats!
“Brianna is a wonderful pet sitter and we will definitely use her again! Our new rescue pup is timid with new people and Bri was so patient and caring with her and made her feel secure and loved. In addition, Bri is prompt and a great communicator. Thank you!”
“We loved Christina so much. She was very communicative, prompt with responses and was just so nice. Our little guy was happy and healthy when he came home. We definitely will book again and highly recommend her services.”
