“Elizabeth and her husband are the best! My puppy loves going to their house and playing with their dogs and cat. She comes home exhausted from playing all day! I’m so grateful to know that she’s having fun and not cramped in her kennel all day while I’m at work. Receiving pictures and videos throughout the day is an added bonus. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality care for their pet!”

About: I grew up with pets and have always had dogs and cats in my home, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. I’m a proud cat mom and also have a friendly, playful 2-year-old Labrador who loves being around other dogs. I work from home for a few hours in the morning, so I’m home all day and able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I live in a house with a big fenced yard, providing a safe space for pets to play and feel comfortable. I also have two young children, so it’s important to me that pets are friendly and comfortable around kids. My kids are gentle and used to being around animals, and I always supervise interactions to make sure everyone is safe and happy. I treat every pet like part of the family and always follow their routine to help them feel at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home for a few hours in the morning, so I am home most of the day and able to provide attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for all pets in my care. I live in a house with a fenced yard, which allows pets to play and explore safely under supervision. I always make sure pets are secure and never left unattended outside .Since I work from home part of the day, I am able to supervise pets closely and provide regular attention, potty breaks, playtime, and feeding according to their routine.I treat every pet like part of my family and follow all instructions from pet owners carefully to ensure consistency and comfort. I introduce pets slowly and carefully to my own dog and always supervise interactions to ensure everyone gets along safely. I also have two children, and I make sure that any pets in my home are comfortable around kids. All interactions are supervised to keep both pets and children safe and happy.
“Rocco had another great day with Max. He again sent photos and provided updates throughout the day. Rocco was clearly a very happy boy when I picked him up. We will always use Max when he’s available. He takes great care of our senior dog.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my professional experience working at a dog boarding facility for two years, where I cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments. This experience has given me the skills to handle various situations, from managing energetic pups to providing special attention for senior dogs. Additionally, I've been a dog owner since 2012, which has allowed me to develop a strong understanding of dog behavior, training, and the everyday care needed to keep a pet happy and healthy. I am dedicated to providing your pet with the best possible experience. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of extra time to care and love for your pet. I am free mornings and early afternoon as well as late nights. But I can be flexible. Whatever you and your pet need. Unfortunately, my childhood dog recently passed away but now I have extra space and time for your pets! I have all the necessary things to care for your pet as well as a crate for smaller dogs if needed. But every dog is different so the routine I had for my dog is different than the routine your pet is used to, so whatever your pet needs while you are away, I will be happy to provide that for you both.
“Sandra is an amazing sitter! She took very good care of my dog Ruby, being very communicative, loving, and caring throughout the stay. I highly recommend her and will continue to book her for boarding.”
“great dog sitter! Laura took great care of our pup, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our dog came home happy and well cared for. We highly recommend them and will definitely book again!😊”

My family, friends & neighbors trust me to look in on and/or care for their pets in my home when they go out of town. My main goal is to provide a loving, safe & interactive experience for the dog while in my care as well as to reassure the pet parent through regular updates including pictures & videos. My home is very dog friendly. It includes a big backyard, a comfy dog bed, dog friendly furniture, proper water/food bowls & a toy chest full of dog toys. I am currently working from home. Whether your dog/family member enjoys walks, backyard play or napping, I have plenty of time to give them my unlimited attention. I'm available for boarding during the week as well as weekends. My home is very dog friendly and safe. I have a large fenced in backyard if your dog likes outside time to play or enjoy the weather.

“I have been with Brionna for the past week and have had nothing BUT a GREAT experience for BOTH me AND my pup! He always comes home full of life and so excited as soon as we arrive to the sitter’s house to be with her all day and the other pups. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SITTER FOR YOUR PUP! I WOULD NOT want to choose ANYONE ELSE! I am so blessed to have found such a wonderful sitter for my pup :) I always receive photos and text updates throughout the day to ensure my dogs safety.”
“Nikhil took amazing care of Zuri. We got so many pictures throughout the day and there is no doubt that she was having a wonderful time!! It’s hard to trust a new sitter, but I’m very glad we did!! Thank you!”
“Lady had a wonderful stay! Jessica was very thoughtful and set up a meet-and-greet beforehand, which helped Lady feel comfortable. Lady loved being in her home and did great with her two dogs. When I picked her up, she looked happy and relaxed. She got walks, ate well, and came home settled and slept great that night. I really appreciated the care, communication, and welcoming environment. I would definitely recommend this sitter and would feel comfortable booking again.”
About: I've taken care of multiple dogs throughout my life and I've owned up to 3 dogs at once. I understand what it means to have a family member taken care of the right way. I've trained German Shepards and Chihuahuas. I have trained my stepdads's Husky as well. Cuddles are definitely a bonus! I'm currently working part time overnight. Other than that, I am home all day. I usually order items online, so I stay home for most things. I have a son who loves pets. He does very well with any type of pet. I have a large 3 bedroom apartment with a large patio. I live on the 3rd floor but the floors are not carpet so there are no issues with an potty accidents that could occur if the pet needs special care.
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I currently own a large dog and am responsible for all aspects of his daily care, including feeding, walking, basic training, grooming, and monitoring his health and behavior. I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs as well as calmer or more sensitive ones. I have experience managing leash pulling, reinforcing basic commands, and creating a calm, safe environment both indoors and outdoors. I always prioritize safety, routine, and positive reinforcement. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, body language, and comfort level, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, patient, and proactive when it comes to communication and care. I'm currently working from home. So I have plenty of time to play with your dog. I'm available for boarding and day care on weekends and weekday. I have yard and a friendly Bernese Mountain Dog to keep your fur baby company. I will keep the floor clean so that the dogs have enough space to play.
“Shruti was awesome and I was so happy that she was in the area and had availability while I was visiting. Rudy was well cared for and had so much fun playing with Leo. We received messages and pictures throughout the day while he was playing and out for walks. I highly recommend Shruti if you are in the area. Thanks so much Shruti…🐶”
About: I’m the definition of a “dog person” — we’ve had several of our own, and we’ve been a boarding stop for friends and family for years. I’m not working full-time right now, so I have plenty of time to exercise your fur-friend, or just drop in for a visit! If you have any specific questions or concerns, I’d be happy to answer them! I’m not working full-time at the moment, so I’m available any day, at any time! Plenty of time for long walks or drop-ins, whatever your pet needs. Whatever you and your pet are comfortable with! I’ve dealt with tiny dogs and huge dogs, seniors and young puppies — they’re all special to me.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waxhaw
I have never left my 8-year old beagle, Cody with anyone other than immediate family, and I couldn't have been happier of the way Karlee and her dogs "kept a good eye" on Cody. Karlee got to experience how much of a cuddler Cody is, and it gave him a much-needed opportunity to interact with other dogs, especially dogs that are bigger. Karlee is a very "upbeat" and positive person, and a real dog lover, so I would recommend her to anyone in the Charlotte area.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Waxhaw commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.

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.
