I understand the importance of patience, safety, following care instructions, and recognizing that every animal has different needs and behaviors.

About: Hi! I have had pets my entire adult life. I have volunteered for over 11 years with three different dog rescues and have extensive experience with dogs of all ages, health conditions/medications, separation anxiety etc. I love all breeds, sizes and ages. Let us give your dog a vacation so you can have a worry free trip! I work part time from home so I have a very flexible schedule. My husband also works from home so our fur babies have someone home as well. There is almost always an adult home. We let the dogs out into our fenced yard every 1-2 hours and always with supervision. I have a fenced in yard, two pugs and a chihuahua mix. They are all very friendly and love other dogs. Dog are welcome on our furniture and are allowed anywhere in our home. We only crate if requested. While your dogs are here we will treat them as our own.
About: Hello! My name is Alison, I am 43 years old and have had dogs and cats all my life. I currently have two cats (15 and 18 yrs old) and two pups (2 and 4 yrs old) of my own. They are my absolute world! My pups are high energy, so I am very familiar on how to burn energy!! I am available for animals of all ages. I am full of energy myself, so I will be able to provide playtime, walks, cuddles, food, and medicines if required! I am more than happy to meet you and spend time with you and your babies before you decide on me, so you feel extremely comfortable with who is taking care of your fur babies! I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for your babies as I would care for my own :) I am happy to take them for walks, play ball, or anything else they love to do! I will care for your pets exactly per your instructions. Whether it’s taking them for walks, play time, etc. I will always make sure to leave your space just as I found it!
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.
“Leonitia, is amazing! This is our first time using a pet sitter for our cat Goldie and she put us at ease. She is great in communicating and very accommodating. Definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone! Will be using her services again. Thanks, Leonitia from us & Goldie”
About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for them my entire life. I’ve fostered dogs, cared for multiple dogs at once (including having three at the same time), and have years of experience pet sitting for family and friends. I also had a senior dog who I lovingly cared for until she passed at age 18, which gave me experience with older dogs, patience, and attentive care. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I always treat pets as if they’re my own. I work Monday-Friday from 7am-2pm, so I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and nights during the week. I’m also available on weekends and happy to provide care, walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions provided. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection, while also respecting their comfort level and personality. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.
About: Grown up with animals all my life. They are my people and I treat them how I want to be treated. I have had all types of dogs ranging from a headstrong frenchie to a diabetic abused beautiful Great Dane. Standard poodles are my spirit animal and I have had the luxury of having three (so far) in my life. I’m the friend/family member that when they need someone to help with their fur babies I’m the first person they reach out too. I’m currently working only part time as a bartender so I have a great deal of free time and availability. My schedule allows me to be very flexible. I’m responsible and reliable and will treat your pets like they are my own. I have an amazing home with one frenchie now with a large (mostly shaded) fenced in yard.
About: I have grew up with dogs and am the proud owner of two Shih Tzu (one of which is currently a puppy). I regularly walk and dog sit for friends and family. I’m happy to work with any age and breed of medium or small sized dog. I am a university student currently enrolled in virtual courses for the summer. My schedule is highly flexible and I am happy to work whenever you need me. I am happy to work with whatever routine and habits your dog is used to. I love playing in enrichment games during drop in visits and walks, and I am comfortable with crateing if requested.
“Anna was so sweet and incredibly easy to communicate with! We weren't able to meet ahead of time, but she was so patient while our pup took some time to get comfortable with her. She sent plenty of photos which gave us so much peace of mind even though it was just a drop-in. We really appreciated the great care she gave our dog and will absolutely book with her again!”

From daily walks and playtime to feeding and administering medications, I provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your furry family members. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I have availability on weekday evenings after 6 PM and open availability on weekends. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while working around their individual routines and needs. I’m also flexible with recurring or occasional bookings. Your pup’s new BFF! I keep tails wagging with walks, playtime, and cuddles, whether at my place or yours. Happy, safe, and spoiled pups guaranteed!
“Our Sadie can be a nervous girl and Morgan was so amazing with her! Morgan was always early to her drop ins and took pictures each time and made sure to leave comments while she was here. Morgan is the absolute best and we will be booking with her again soon!”

About: I’m the owner of Barnyard Pet Retreat. I do dog/cat boarding out of my own home. It’s my full time job so I’ll be with them at all times. I have multiple dogs of my own and I am home full time. So, your fur babies will be monitored and loved at all times! I have a great potty routine that my dogs are currently on.

“Shelbie went above and beyond while taking care of our cats! She was incredibly communicative, keeping us updated throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. Not only did she provide excellent care for our cats, but she also took extra time to deep clean their litter, which we truly appreciated. Knowing they were in such good hands allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. We highly recommend Shelbie to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and detail-oriented pet sitter! Thank you, Shelbie!”

I set up this visit with Jaclyn the evening beforehand. I was a little nervous because I didn’t meet her. She was so friendly and easy to communicate with regarding all the details for the visit. She was on time and did everything asked and more! Our puppy got into the toilet paper in the bathroom which she happily cleaned up! She even had to dry him off after he took a dip in the pool. We will definitely be booking Jaclyn again!
Maggie was amazing! Our very fearful and timid doodle warmed right up to her in less than a minute! Our meet and greet went great, she was there for our first scheduled drop in and was so flexible and quick to respond to a last minute drop in request. Maggie has a gentle soul and that shines when interacting with the dogs as well as people!
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!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Waxhaw is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,525 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Waxhaw. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Waxhaw choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
