About: I've taken care of pets all of my life. From puppies all the way up to seniors. I love them all. They all need someone to care for them and feel the extra love especially when their normal family is away. I'm currently flexible and can fit pet care into my daily routine. Occasionally, I will pick up an additional job. But that shouldn't interrupt with taking care of what I love to do and that is to take care of fur babies. I would rather take care of your pets in their environment due to the fact that they are most comfortable there. I also have two fur babies of my own. But I feel as if fur babies are normally happy in their own surroundings.
“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!”

“Brittany did a great job this weekend. She is so attentive to our dogs needs and likes. I highly recommend her if your dogs are as big a part of your family as ours are.”

“Nikki is fantastic with our pups! She has really taken the time to get to know them and is able to manage any situation perfectly. We feel so comfortable leaving them in her care!”


About: I’ve been pet sitting for approximately 8 years, beginning in middle school when I started helping my mom care for pets in our community. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs. I provide dependable, loving care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, feeding, administering basic medications, playtime, or overnight stays, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away from home. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and am able to accommodate pet care visits throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day. I am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting, and I do my best to adjust my schedule with advance notice when needed. I am reliable, consistent, and always communicate clearly about my availability so pet parents know what to expect. environment in every visit. I always follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while their owner is away. I pay close attention to detail, keep doors and entry points secure, and treat every home with respect. I also make sure pets are supervised during visits and receive patient, attentive care based on their individual needs and personality. My goal is to create a safe and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

“We absolutely loved Avia! She did an amazing job with the drop-in visits for our pup and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was always on time, had excellent communication, and sent us pictures with every visit! It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pup and made sure he was happy and well taken care of. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in her hands. It’s an amazing feeling having someone you trust taking care of your pup - and we found that in Avia. We won’t hesitate to use Avia again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and caring! Thank you Avia!”

“Jamie is wonderful! She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was taken care of while we were away for a week. She's kind, reliable, and ready to help where needed. She provides lots of communication and I know our pup was happy in her care. Will definitely be reaching out to book her again in the future!”

“Miles was amazing! He was very reliable and he took extra great care of our pets, especially our dog who has to take multiple medications throughout the day. He had great communication, he was very flexible and pleasant to work with. We loved his daily updates! It was great having someone we could trust watching our pets!”
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

About: My current job is taking care of dogs of all sizes and I love every moment of it. I have also grown up with two large dogs that are the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. I currently work at a pet boarding/ day care job so I currently work with pets. I can work around my work schedule to find a time that works for you. Just a heads up, I am usually scheduled for 8 hour shifts so it would be ideal if your pet is ok being alone for that long. I have two dogs of my own and they are very well house trained so that they don’t have to go in a crate when we leave the house and they get plenty of play time with us inside and outside.

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!
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: 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.
“Chase was absolutely wonderful taking care of my cat during my vacation. He is a fantastic communicator and put me at ease about leaving my fur baby with him. Chase is so personable; my cat immediately took to him. I for sure will be using Chase in the future.”

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.

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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waxhaw
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!

Taryn was absolutely fantastic! Every visit, she sent an update on how my pup was doing and a few great photos so I wouldn’t miss him so much. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring companion for their pet while they’re away. Thanks, Taryn!

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 care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;

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!

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.
