Marina did a great job with twice daily drop-ins for 3 cats for 4 days. The cats where all comfortable with her and all went smoothly. She also seems to be a genuinely nice person. She is going to come by for drop-ins for my cats on my next trip as well!

About: I have always enjoyed working with all kinds of animals. The joy, comfort, and love that comes from an animal is truly unbeatable. I am reliable, nurturing, and detail-oriented.i have worked with all ages of animals including puppies and seniors! I have experience in giving oral medications as well! I am a recent college graduate and just left a job. I am currently available all day everyday and would love to fill that time watching your pets! Since this is now my only job, I can spend as much time as needed with your pet! I am very physically active and enjoy going on walks and playing with animals. I communicate with the parents of the pet I am watching to ensure I am giving the best possible care to their fur baby. Most of the families I sit for will write/type directions if there is medications or specific requests. I am unable to board pets in my home, but I will love on your animals from the comfort of their own home.

About: Growing up, my family home was fondly known as a "zoo." Because of this, I am incredibly comfortable with all animals, from small, creepy-crawly critters to giant dogs. I have been responsible for animal care my entire life. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have farm-sitting experience looking after donkeys, goats, horses, and chickens (but I’m not limited to these animals). I started by pet-sitting for family, expanded to family friends, and am now looking to grow my business further. I am currently a college student with an open schedule for the summer. I am ready to look after your beloved pets while you enjoy your summer vacations! I am fully comfortable with overnight care. When staying at your home, I promise to leave the space spotless, water your plants and collect your mail. I am comfortable providing in-depth pet care, including administering medications. Your animal's health and safety are always my top priorities. I never put my phone on silent while on duty. I will happily send frequent photos and updates to give you complete peace of mind while you are away! My part-time schedule at Chick-fil-A gives me a lot of flexibility to care for your pets. I have every Sunday completely off, alongside 3-4 other full days open during the week. Because I am a natural morning person, I love waking up early and am highly dependable for early-morning feedings, walks, and potty breaks. I am excited to structure my weekly routine around your pet's specific needs! My top priorities are safety, consistency, and maintaining their comfort zone. I strictly follow your specific feeding, medication, and exercise schedules to keep your pet's routine like you never left! I also focus heavily on home security by double-checking locked doors and keeping the space perfectly clean. To give you peace of mind, I am more than willing to send regular photo and text updates after every visit so you always know your pet is safe and happy!

This is the first time I have ever left my dog for an extended period of time and was very nervous as my dog is like my child. Sadi has been amazing from the start, she was flexible with my schedule, made it a point to meet my dog before I left, put my mind at ease when I saw how much she loved animals and how much my dog loved her from the moment she walked in. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the visit to ensure me that he was doing well. She even went above and beyond with helping me understand how the whole Rover process works. I am now a loyal customer of Sadi's and will be using her for any future needs. You will not be disappointed with her. She is wonderful!!!

Jeremy took great care of our dogs while we were away for a few days. We knew they were in good hands as soon as we all met during the first interview. Jeremy kept my wife and I well informed during our time away and kept us updated on how our dogs were doing. We were extremely satisfied and would absolutely recommend Jeremy for any pet sitting needs you might have.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, whether it was neighbors or family, I always put forth the effort to make your pets feel loved and supported! I’m currently a student so I’ll have plenty of time to drop by and play with your pets, feed them, and walk them, if desired. I have two dogs myself, one thing I love to do is curl up on the couch with a good book with my pups! (I think they just like to lay on my legs.)

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 have eight years of professional pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of loving animals! My passion started early—my first word was actually "Bam," the name of my first dog. I launched my sitting business eight years ago by caring for a senior Basset Hound named Baxter. Senior care taught me the tough lessons right away (like cleaning up lots of pee!), so you can rest assured that very little phases me when it comes to keeping your pets clean and comfortable. I’m currently home from University, and waiting to hear back from a few retail jobs I applied for. I’ve got a lot of free time on my hands, so, as of right now, I can petsit or walk your dog at almost any time of day! While I can’t keep pets in my parents home, I’m entirely willing to take your furbaby out for lots of play time, and leave every place like it should be… Even if the mess wasn’t mine.

About: I’m a pet lover. I have been an owner of cats, small & bigs dogs, birds & fish. It’s natural for me to take care of them and to get what they need. I remember that I adopted a mixed Husky who was born with some issues at his back legs. But for me I knew he worth it, to be loved as any other dogs. I’m experienced to handle puppies, to take care different ages & breeds of dogs. Keeping pets active, fed and cared is the most important for me I will take care your dogs like they was mine. And will provided them all my attention to keep them safe, bring more fun & love to make every journey unique until they get back to you.

About: Hello! As a lifelong pet owner and pet lover, I’ve taken care of critters of all sizes; dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, etc! Since I was 12, I’ve helped watch/walk friend’s and neighbor’s pets, and love hanging out with animals. I’m currently a college student who has had both professional jobs and pet care experience, and would love to meet your furry friends! I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m almost always available in the mornings, and can work around my job schedule that is posted weekly. As someone who has taken care of my dogs/cats since elementary school, I am comfortable walking animals big (I have 1 husky and a malamute mix) or small!

About: I have been taking care of dogs for years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to adapt to each dog’s unique needs, for example, helping energetic dogs burn off energy through long walks/playing in the backyard and attentive care for senior dogs who might need a little more assistance! I’m comfortable administering oral medications, working with puppies on basic manners, and walking dogs that pull on leash. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care! As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pets! Since I am currently not working another job, I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and feeding. I can accommodate most schedules, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. My goal is to provide reliable care and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I do have a secure, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and exercise. I also have dogs of my own of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, which has given me a lot of experience caring for many different personalities and needs. I carefully introduce dogs when appropriate, monitor all interactions, and can separate pets if needed to make sure everyone is comfortable and safe. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special requests to make sure your pet feels happy and safe while in my care!

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Waxhaw

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Waxhaw on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,609 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
  • 98% 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.
