“It seems fitting on our kitty's 4th birthday, to again state that Gina is the very best kind of pet care giver. She loves animals, has excellent skills with them and their owners, is totally reliable and is also a spectacular informal pet photographer. We all love Gina at our house!”

“Justin was very responsive and stepped in same day after our usual sitter had to cancel last minute due to illness. He kept in great contact and sent updates on our pups. Both boys were well cared for and happy when we got home. Justin also brought in a package and closed the garage door we accidentally left open. I’d definitely book with Justin again and would highly recommend him. Thanks for caring for our babies!”

“I can not fully express my Gratitude to Brittany. She is an amasing person, and there was a full connect from day one with Jett, which makes her a great sitter. She was on top of daily routines, always on time and Jett had such a great time with Brittany. Jett and I we personally will be recommending her to anyone who has needs on leaveing their loved pawmily members under Brittany's supervision.”

“Katherine took care of our cat for the first time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was reliable, communicative, and gave our cat so much love and attention while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking with Katherine again. Highly recommend!”

“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’m a 19 year old student at UNC Charlotte and have grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. I’ve also dog and cat sat many times for friends, family, and others, including feeding, walking, playing, and overnight care. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes and personalities, and I always make sure to follow routines closely so pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins, feedings, walks, and overnight stays with pets. I’m also flexible with my schedule and can adjust to meet a pet’s specific routine, whether that means multiple visits a day or staying longer to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I always follow their specific instructions closely to keep their pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, and any other care they need like walks, playtime, or litter box cleaning. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and keep everything clean and organized. I also like to provide updates and photos so owners feel comfortable knowing their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away.
“This was my first time leaving Laila at home and I could not have asked for anyone better! They took amazing care of her and always kept me updated ! I cannot thank them (and Winter) enough! You guys are truly the best! Thank you so much!!!!”


About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I grew up with dogs and currently have a pit bull/boxer mix, so I’m very comfortable with strong, energetic, affectionate dogs as well as dogs who need patience and routine. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-ins, feeding, fresh water, playtime, potty breaks, and giving your dog attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel like your pet is safe and cared for, and I’ll treat your dog like I’d want someone to treat mine. I’m dependable, gentle, and attentive, and I’m comfortable following specific instructions for feeding, medications, routines, or special needs. I have a flexible schedule right now and can make time for pet care during the week and on weekends. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and giving pets some company while their owners are away. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. Safety and trust are really important to me. I’ll always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I pay attention to body language, keep dogs secure on walks, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and food instructions are handled carefully. I’ll treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect.
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.
About: Caring for animals is a huge part of both my everyday life and my professional experience, so caring for pets is something I’m very comfortable with. I have three pets of my own — Chase, my Goldendoodle, Olive, my Shih-Poo, and Oona, my cat — so I have experience caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities, ages, and needs. I also work professionally with puppies, where I help with their daily care, including feeding, cleaning, grooming, administering medications when needed, monitoring their health and behavior, and giving them plenty of attention and enrichment. I’ve also assisted during our mobile veterinarian’s weekly visits, helping care for and handle puppies during their appointments. Outside of work, I participate in day-cations with shelter dogs, where I get to spend one-on-one time with dogs outside of the shelter environment. It’s given me experience meeting unfamiliar dogs, learning their personalities, keeping them safe in public, and helping them decompress while still having a fun day out. Pet care fits easily into my weekly schedule, and I currently have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and sitting! I’m available to help keep your family’s needs mets and fur babies cuddled! I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs at home, as well as a cat. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, crate routines, medications, playtime, and any household rules you use at home. I always prioritize safe introductions and supervision around other pets, and I’m also happy to provide walks, outdoor play, enrichment, or plenty of cuddle time depending on what your pet enjoys!

About: I previously cat/dog and house sat while living in NYC and Los Angeles, and now North/South Carolina. I walked the dogs several times daily, prepared special meals as directed and kept them company. With cats, I made sure their litter boxes were clean and they had their meals and medications. Up until recently, I had threesenior dogs, a chi-weenie and a dachshund. The dachshund had back trouble so I took her to the acupuncturist and chiropractor, she also had chronic UTI so she was on medications. One of my dogs had seizures, so I had special diets and medications for her. I would love to meet you & your pet! I am currently working from home so can be available during the day in case your pet needs more bathroom breaks or additional attention. Will be able to work around their schedule, I can walk your pet around your neighborhood. I like to make sure that they have some reflective tapes/leash in case we're out at night.
“Grace & Mara were wonderful sitters! They took care of our three fur-babies while we were on family vacation. They had excellent communication the entire time and gave extra attention to our dog who deals with separation anxiety. We highly recommend them for your future pet care services!”

About: I have a dog and cat of my own at home! I’ve fostered kittens and puppies and volunteered for several animal related agencies like the Human Society and Tails of the Trails. I’m currently working full time, so I am available all day on the weekends or after work (6pm) on weekdays! I am also available early in the mornings before work (8am). I am very attentive to animals and probably enjoy walks and play time as much as they do! I have experience caring for older animals as well that need special care, so I am equipped to provide detailed attention as well!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waxhaw
Not sure how we lucked out with Meghan as we just moved to Waxhaw and didn’t know any pet sitters, but she was amazing with our two older cats. One with special needs! One is shy and hides and she was a hit with him the first day. She gave his brother the meds and insulin shots he needed and sent us lots of adorable pictures while we were away.

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!

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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. 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.
