Chase is amazing!!! My pups enjoy having him around and we sure are blessed to be able to count on him, even during last minute hiccups where we just need him to check on the dogs

About: What sets me apart is the deep, lifelong connection I’ve had with dogs. I’ve personally raised three pups from just six weeks old all the way through their senior years. Each one grew into a loving, obedient, and well-mannered companion, and I’ve been through every stage of life with them—from puppy energy to senior snuggles. That experience has given me a strong understanding of how to care for dogs at any age, whether it’s gentle patience with a new pup or extra comfort and support for older dogs. This is a truly dog-friendly home where your pet will feel like family. I have three kind and respectful kids who absolutely adore dogs and are always excited to welcome new furry friends into our home. Whether your pup loves to play, nap, or just follow someone around all day, there’s a warm spot (and probably a willing lap) waiting for them here. I don’t just watch dogs—I care for them as if they were my own. 🐾 Hi! I’m a school social worker with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District, and caring for others—whether it’s students or furry friends—has always been second nature to me. I’ve had a dog in my life since I was a teenager, and I truly believe dogs are one of the most perfect, loving animals on this earth. 💛 Over the years, I’ve trained dogs to go potty outside, sit, stay, lay down, heel on walks, and even speak when it’s treat time (a favorite trick in our house!). I’ve also raised multiple dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, so I’m comfortable with dogs at all life stages and energy levels. This is a dog-loving home, through and through. I have three kids who are gentle, kind, and absolutely adore dogs. There’s always a cozy corner, a warm cuddle, and plenty of love waiting for your pup here. Whether they want to play, nap, go on walks, or just soak up some attention, your dog will be treated like one of the family I do not have a fence in yard but it is partially fenced in. I do have a dog lead and I will always be outside

Sarah was phenomenal! She met with me the day before the booking started and was ready to go to take care of my parents’ cats. She was communicative, sent photos each visit, and the cats took right to her! She was professional, punctual, and such a wonderful sitter! I highly recommend her to anyone needing care for their animals while they are away!

About: Hi! We’re Christina and Brian, a husband-and-wife pet sitting team who love giving pets the comfort and consistency of staying in their own home while their people are away. 🐾 We are both approved Rover sitters and have each completed Rover’s background check, which gives us the flexibility to work together or individually depending on the needs and schedule of each booking. We’ll always communicate with you ahead of time about who will be caring for your pets so you know exactly what to expect. 🐾 One of the perks of our different schedules is that we can offer flexible care. Christina works remotely and when she is the primary sitter, can often work right from your home. This means she is able to spend much of the day with pets who enjoy extra companionship or aren't used to being alone for a traditional workday. Brian works outside of the home during the day, so his housesitting schedule looks more like a traditional work schedule with care before and after work and overnight. 🐾 We understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and comfort level. We’re happy to follow feeding schedules, walks, medications, bedtime routines, and all of the little things that help your pets feel like life is as normal as possible while you're gone. 🐾 We also know how important it is to feel comfortable with the people staying in your home. We take that responsibility seriously and want you to enjoy your trip knowing your pets and home are being well cared for. We provide regular updates and photos and are always happy to communicate as much or as little as you prefer. 🐾 Before accepting a booking, we like to make sure we're a good fit for your pets, their routine, and the amount of time they’re accustomed to being alone. That way, we can determine which of us is the best fit for your stay and make sure everyone knows exactly what to expect before booking. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible which allows me the ability to work around your needs for pet sitting/walking. I'm happy to talk further about specific needs. I would follow instructions of the pet owner - supervised backyard play, on-leash walks, etc. I always provide updates at each check-in and include photos.

We just started working with Jamie and will definitely use her services again. We had to leave town unexpectedly for a family member in hospice. She eased our minds during a very difficult time. She was very reliable, our kitties loved her and she has a great personality and knows customer service. So thankful to have found her.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have cared for three family dogs — a Golden Retriever, a Goldendoodle, and an Australian Labradoodle. From energetic puppies to a senior dog who lived to be 16, I’ve experienced every stage of a dog’s life and genuinely love being around animals. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, giving lots of attention, and adapting to each dog’s personality and needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like family while you’re away. I recently relocated back home after living abroad, so my schedule is very open right now, which allows me to be highly available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I always try to keep things calm, consistent, and as close to their normal routine as possible. Whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them extra attention and cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel happy and comfortable. I really love animals and will treat your pets like they’re my own.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for years, and I’ve spent plenty of time watching dogs, cats, and small pets for friends and family, plus volunteering with rescue animals. That mix means I’m comfortable with everything from an anxious rescue who needs a slow introduction to a high-energy pup who needs a real walk before settling down. I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Whatever the arrangement, I stick to your pet’s routine. Same feeding times, same walk schedule, same spot on the couch, and I send photo updates so you know exactly how your animal is doing while you’re away. My background is in healthcare, so I’m careful and reliable with medication schedules, mobility issues, and senior pets who need extra patience. I’m currently caring for pets full time. My schedule is flexible and I’m also open to a regular schedule. 6am to 10pm is my preferred working hours. I have a large neighborhood with lots of sidewalks, a dog park, and trails for walks, my furniture is pet friendly. I keep a close eye on your pets and genuinely love to keep them company. I’m happy to offer any kind of exercise needed as I’m an athlete myself.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable feeding pets, providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re in my care. I’m dependable, responsible, and committed to treating and loving every pet as if they were my own. Please note: I’ll be moving to Appalachian State University in about two weeks, so I’m currently accepting bookings in my current area through then. I’ll update my location and availability once I move. I currently have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention while following your pet’s normal routine. I will always communicate with you and send updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. I do have to take my fur baby out to potty at 1 pm so I’m available any times before and after. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and exercise routines. I’ll keep your home clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and treat your pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of love while you’re away.

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my home. I am a huge dog lover. I have walked, bathed, watched, and fed many friends, family, and neighbors furry friends. I have a beloved Jack Russell of my own named Scruffy. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure their owners feel like they are safe, having fun, and loved! I recently just moved to CLT from Florida. I am a graduate from USF with 2 Bachelor’s Degrees; Health Sciences and Nursing. I am still currently looking for a full time job, but I am happy to let your fur baby out in the mornings or during work & free all day on most weekends. I don’t leave town often - so I can be a reliable resource if you need help last minute! Personally, if anything comes up, I would be sure to inform you at least a day in advance! I always make time for my fur babies 💕 * Currently not offering boarding * I have an open backyard and an open field that my current dogs loved to play on. They play frisbee and chase each other around. I make sure to let the dogs out every 2-4 hours. Water bowl is changed every day. I give treats after potty time. I also leash-walk my dogs as well.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Waxhaw on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 4,566 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Waxhaw. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Waxhaw stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.

To find sitters in Waxhaw with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waxhaw. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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 cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
