“Grace and & Amara did a great job of looking after our girls (3 cats)! It always eases my anxiety to get updates and pictures, which they were regular about providing.”
“Brittany is on time everyday of the drop-ins. My cats seem to really like her visits. One of my cats needs meds, and it's not an issue. Thank you Brittany for being so sweet with my cats.”

I'm very grateful to say that I have an extremely flexible schedule for your pup(s) or kitty(ies)! :-) Being experienced in pet care, animal education by vet field experience, and just being a pet owner of my own, I know how important safety and trust is to you for your animal.

“Lauren was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and we especially loved receiving daily pictures and updates—they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Lauren did a fantastic job with walking, feeding, and making sure our dog always had fresh water, but most importantly, she truly showed our baby so much love and attention. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: With over 15 years of experience caring for animals, I’ve had the opportunity to work with all kinds of pets and their unique needs. My experience includes working as a veterinary technician, pet and farm sitting, administering medications, wildlife rehabilitation, senior pet care, and exotic animal care—and that’s just the beginning! I understand that your pets are family, and leaving them in someone else’s care can be stressful. My goal is to provide the same patience, compassion, and attention to detail that I would want for my own animals, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced and caring hands. We both work during the week, but we’re home the majority of the time on weekends and have a flexible schedule that allows us to give your pets plenty of attention. I work at a veterinary hospital just 3 minutes from home, so I’m able to easily come home throughout the day if needed. I also have extended lunch breaks, which gives me the opportunity to spend several hours at home during the day rather than leaving pets alone for long periods of time. Our schedule allows us to provide plenty of companionship, care, and attention throughout the day, so your pets can feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Our home is relaxed, loving, and easygoing, and we want every pet who stays with us to feel like part of the family. We do ask that all pets are comfortable around other animals so everyone can get along and have a safe, stress-free stay. We have a large, fully fenced backyard with a 6-foot privacy fence, giving the dogs plenty of safe space to run, play, and enjoy some fresh air. We spend lots of time outside playing, getting some exercise, and enjoying the yard together. And yes—dogs are absolutely welcome on the furniture and even in the bed! Our own two fur babies have us pretty well trained, so your pups can enjoy the same level of comfort. Your pet’s health and safety are incredibly important to us. I’m a trained veterinary technician and CPR-trained, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced hands. If a health concern ever comes up, I’m able to assess them and, if necessary, bring them with me to the veterinary hospital where I work so they can be properly evaluated. For the safety and health of every pet in our home, we require all visiting pets to be current on Bordetella, Distemper/Parvo, and Rabies vaccinations. We are also a flea-free home, so all pets must be on a current monthly flea and tick preventative. This is a requirement for every pet staying with us and helps ensure that everyone—including our own fur babies—stay happy, healthy, and comfortable. Our goal is simple: while you’re away, we want your pet to feel safe, loved, spoiled, and right at home.
“Jennifer did a great job house and cat sitting. I leave directions for sitters and she followed all directions perfectly. It takes a while for my cat to warm up to new people, and this stay was only several days, but my cat did start to come out before the stay ended, and seemed comfortable with Jennifer. Something that’s important for those of us with scaredy-cats. I’d definitely hire her again”
About: Growing up surrounded by animals and currently sharing my 2 homes with three dogs and a cat. My house’s are full of different personalities and energy levels, which has taught me how to read an animal’s needs quickly and provide the right kind of care. I know that every animal is different. Whether you have a reactive dog who needs a calm, patient hand or a senior pet who needs a gentle approach and a medication routine, I’m ready to help. From the endless energy of puppies and kittens to the quiet companionship of older pets, I have the experience to make sure your best friend feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I’m currently a college student at ECU! I’m home for the summer and have a part time job but schedule is extremely flexible! At home, my pets are family, and their well-being is my top priority. I manage a busy household with three dogs and a cat, which has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of temperaments-from high-energy puppies to calm seniors and even reactive personalities. I take a structured yet affectionate approach to their care, focusing on: • Routine & Reliability: Maintaining consistent feeding schedules and a clean environment. • Mental & Physical Health: Ensuring everyone gets the right amount of exercise and play to stay happy. • Individualized Attention: I'm highly observant of their unique body language, making sure I provide space or engagement exactly when they need it.
“Mia was the absolute best! I am always so nervous leaving my cat and hoping that the sitter will be warm and loving and she was this and so much more! He was in such a good mood when I returned home. She took lots of pictures and gave great updates. Would absolutely recommend and would 100 percent ask her to watch him again. Thank you Mia!”
About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes large breeds such as Mastiffs and Pit Bulls, French Bulldogs, Dachshunds, domestic cats, Sphynx cats, and feral cats. I have also worked in a doggy daycare under the supervision of a veterinarian, which gave me additional experience in a professional animal-care setting. I understand the importance of patience, safety, following care instructions, and recognizing that every animal has different needs and behaviors. I am passionate about providing loving, attentive care and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to give pet owners peace of mind while they are away. i am currently working part time so i will have plenty of time to play with your fur baby’s! i’m available for over nights as well! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine, feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I give them plenty of attention, patience, and affection while making sure they get the exercise and care they need.
About: Experienced lifelong animal lover offering reliable, dedicated pet care. Having personally cared for a wide variety of animals—including dogs, cats, rabbits, and livestock—I understand the unique needs and temperaments of different pets. I bring patience, strong empathy, and attentive, playful energy to ensure your pets feel safe, active, and comfortable while you're away. I work in the mornings and I'm off on the evenings. If you like me to stay at your home I can do that too, I've done it before with my aunt's and cousin's cat I have a kitty on my own, her name is Velvette. I wake up at 5am to get myself ready for work, before I leave around 6:30am I feed her tuna, and pour some of her dry food in another bowl. When I come back I give her treats, play with her, she follows me around and then we lay together in bed and then 10am I feed her tuna again
About: I've always taken care of my dogs growing up. My dog right now requires a very in depth feeding and medication regimen. She is 13 years old and has a special diet with a very timed out schedule for her medications. I also have experience with young dogs/puppies. I have lots of experience with older cats and a little with kittens, but not a ton. I work in food service during the day, so I have tons of time in the afternoon/evening and night to care for your pets! I can also move my schedule around if needed I've had dogs throughout all my life that have had vastly different temperaments, so I know how to care for animals of all kinds.
“Andri did an excellent job watching my fur baby. She kept me informed of everything and communicated effectively. She knows her stuff when it comes to fur babies. Thank you Andri!”

I work a full-time job from 7:30 to 4:30, but I’m available for mornings, evenings, weekends, and open to weekday stays as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I’d give my own. I make sure pets stay on their usual routines to help them feel secure. Whether that means regular walks, playtime, feedings, or just quiet companionship. I keep doors locked, follow any household rules, and always clean up after myself and the pets. I also provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I strive to create a calm, loving environment every time I’m there.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and how unique each one of them are. To this day it amazes me how a pet can be your best friend , even if they can’t respond.

About: I’m calm, patient, and comfortable with all types of pets. Years of caring for cats and dogs, plus volunteering at the Humane Society of Charlotte, taught me to read animals well. I’m flexible, reliable, and love active walks. My schedule is open and flexible, so pet care fits easily into my day. I can usually accept bookings with at least a day’s notice, whether that’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, or longer house sitting stays. I enjoy being active, so walks are a natural part of my routine, and I’m happy to build a schedule around your pet’s needs, including their feeding times, exercise, and potty breaks. Since I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, I care for pets in their own home and neighborhood, where they’re most comfortable. I follow each owner’s instructions closely for feeding, medications, exercise, and routine, and I always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure so your pet stays safe. On walks, I keep dogs on a leash, stay alert to their surroundings, and keep a calm, steady pace. I’ll send photo and text updates during each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. For house sitting, I treat your home with care, keep your pet’s routine consistent, and give them plenty of attention and companionship. I’m also happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand so your pet and I can get comfortable with each other.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have an almost 3-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, a German Shepherd, and a rescue pit bull, so I’m very comfortable handling active, strong, and high-energy dogs. In addition to my own dogs, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs and cats many times, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to keep our pets on their routine and give them attention, patience, and a safe environment. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I am available in the mornings before work, during my lunch break, and after work in the evenings, which allows me to provide consistent drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and playtime. I also have more flexibility on weekends, which gives me the ability to take on longer visits or additional care if needed. I’m able to stay organized and reliable with my schedule, making sure each pet gets dependable attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and any specific care preferences the owner provides. I make sure each pet gets attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home clean and respected, making sure everything is left as I found it. I give regular updates so clients know how their pets are doing and can feel confident they are being well cared for.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Waxhaw
This was our first time using Ryan and she did everything we asked. Plus, we have three cats, all with medical needs and medication regimes, which she also handled while we were away (for four days). We’re relieved to have someone we can trust with our cats and our home. Thanks Ryan for the help!
Not sure how we lucked out with Meghan as we just moved to Waxhaw and didn’t know any pet sitters, but she was amazing with our two older cats. One with special needs! One is shy and hides and she was a hit with him the first day. She gave his brother the meds and insulin shots he needed and sent us lots of adorable pictures while we were away.
Yaphet was incredible. Our 12 year old dog Bree is not easy to work with to begin with and we had just moved so she was extra on edge. He handled her well, gave her the dailies she needed + exercise and was great with our cat Tuft as well at the same time. He was communicative, took photos and updated us as needed. Highly recommend!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
