“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!”

“Ashlie is wonderful, so caring and the dogs loved her. She took such good care of them and I feel such a relief knowing we have someone who will take care of our pups and love them the same way we do. 10/10 and will definitely hire again! Thank you Ashlie!”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends pets for years now and have always loved it since I’m an animal lover at heart. I’ve taken care of everything from high energy pups to bearded dragons! I’m currently working part-time, but i’m always flexible for weekdays. Hopefully I’ll be able to be full time for pets soon! You can always ask me. I currently offer drop-ins and walks! I own a cat with felv who isn’t very fond of other cats or dogs, so I cannot board. Since I have a feline friend who is felv+ i’m very comfortable with administering medications! I always prefer being able to spend as much time with the pets as possible, which I will always be able to provide as many drop-ins as needed!

About: I’ve cared for fish, birds, cats, and dogs in my own home since I was 10 years old — 24 years of reading animal behavior and knowing what every kind of pet needs at every stage of life. Today I’m a federally-credentialed animal handler (USFWS Import License) maintaining a complex multi-species planted aquarium, and by day I own a licensed home services company in Union County. Married with a young son. Your pet gets a calm, attentive walker who never rushes a visit. I live two minutes from downtown Waxhaw and treat every booking like a neighbor helping a neighbor. My evenings open up at 8pm once my family is settled in, which means I’m available for that last walk before bed, the dinner-time check-in, or the after-work visit your dog can’t get from a daytime sitter. Standard availability: Sunday through Saturday, 8–11pm. Weekend afternoons sometimes open — message me. New clients: 4 hours’ advance notice gets you on my calendar, same-day if I’m free. Drop-in visits happen in your home, so my focus is keeping things exactly as you left them. I re-secure every door and gate, follow your written instructions to the letter, send photo updates during each visit, and keep walks on-leash unless you tell me otherwise. As a licensed business owner who runs crews on customer properties every day, treating someone else’s space with care is second nature. Background-checked through Rover, and happy to do a free meet-and-greet before your first booking.
“Katherine took amazing care of our two cats over the past couple of weeks. She was very communicative and thoughtful throughout the entire process, even with a 13-hour time difference while my wife and I were visiting China, which was a huge comfort while we were away. She also went above and beyond on the last day by tidying the place and cleaning the sheets, blankets, and comforter on the guest bed after one of our cats had an accident, making our lives a lot easier after our long flight back. Coming home to a clean space after a long international flight meant so much to us. We are very grateful for her care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

“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 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.
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.
“She was wonderful with Emmy! She took her to the park, kept her company, and made sure she got plenty of attention and care while I was away. I really appreciated knowing Emmy was in good hands and getting some fun time outside.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 8 years and currently have two of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, attention, and lots of love while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and affection I give my own! I currently have clinicals during the week, but I’m typically available after 5 PM. I have more flexibility on weekends and love spending my free time caring for, walking, and giving pups plenty of attention and love. I care for every dog with the same love and attention I give my own. I have two crate-trained dogs, and I’m happy to keep them separate if that makes your pup more comfortable. I can also crate your dog if that’s part of their normal routine and you prefer it.
“Alina is an amazing sitter, as always! This is the first time I’ve trusted someone else with my cats, and she was the best choice. She gave all their medications on time, fed them, played with them, and brushed everyone. My cats absolutely adore her. I think they might even like living with her more than with me 😂 but for now we’ll stick to visits. Thank you for being so caring and reliable. I’ll definitely book with you again and again! ❤️”
About: Hi! I have had pets my entire adult life. I have volunteered for over 11 years with three different dog rescues and have extensive experience with dogs of all ages, health conditions/medications, separation anxiety etc. I love all breeds, sizes and ages. Let us give your dog a vacation so you can have a worry free trip! I work part time from home so I have a very flexible schedule. My husband also works from home so our fur babies have someone home as well. There is almost always an adult home. We let the dogs out into our fenced yard every 1-2 hours and always with supervision. I have a fenced in yard, two pugs and a chihuahua mix. They are all very friendly and love other dogs. Dog are welcome on our furniture and are allowed anywhere in our home. We only crate if requested. While your dogs are here we will treat them as our own.
About: Growing up surrounded by animals and currently sharing my 2 homes with three dogs and a cat. My house’s are full of different personalities and energy levels, which has taught me how to read an animal’s needs quickly and provide the right kind of care. I know that every animal is different. Whether you have a reactive dog who needs a calm, patient hand or a senior pet who needs a gentle approach and a medication routine, I’m ready to help. From the endless energy of puppies and kittens to the quiet companionship of older pets, I have the experience to make sure your best friend feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I’m currently a college student at ECU! I’m home for the summer and have a part time job but schedule is extremely flexible! At home, my pets are family, and their well-being is my top priority. I manage a busy household with three dogs and a cat, which has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of temperaments-from high-energy puppies to calm seniors and even reactive personalities. I take a structured yet affectionate approach to their care, focusing on: • Routine & Reliability: Maintaining consistent feeding schedules and a clean environment. • Mental & Physical Health: Ensuring everyone gets the right amount of exercise and play to stay happy. • Individualized Attention: I'm highly observant of their unique body language, making sure I provide space or engagement exactly when they need it.
“Kaylee checked on my kitties and they seemed to take to her well - they’ll often hide when people they don’t know are at the house, but they came out and said hi the first visit! Kaylee completed all requested tasks and spent time playing with them. Will book again 🙂”


About: I’ve taken care of several types of dogs throughout the years. I have also owned a few. Family and friends rely on me to take care of their babies when they’re away. :-) I am retired from the Marine Corps and spend my days volunteering for two organizations and learning to garden. I set my own schedule and that helps me be available to care for your fur babies! I have a fenced yard and live directly across from a dog park. I have two fur babies of my own adding a couple more to the mix will be great! I have all hardwood floors and have no concerns if your pup has an accident.

“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!!!”

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!

This was our first time using Ryan and she did everything we asked. Plus, we have three cats, all with medical needs and medication regimes, which she also handled while we were away (for four days). We’re relieved to have someone we can trust with our cats and our home. Thanks Ryan for the help!

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!

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!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
