“While I was on my honeymoon, Justin did more than a phenomenal job. My husband and I have never used rover before and have a ton of cats (6 inside and 10+ strays we feed). Justin kept me up to date everyday with great photos, told me how they were doing and made sure they ate and we're fine without us haha. If I could ever only recommend one person, it would be Justin. He is absolutely fantastic and if you're looking for someone to take care of your animal while you are gone, Justin is your guy.”
“Booked Tony and Richard last minute and had never used Rover. Could not have asked for a better experience! Great communication, their visits were on time and our dogs were well taken care of. I don't think my two very active English Springer Spaniels even missed us! Definitely highly recommend.”
“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 Love all breeds of dogs and have lots of snuggles to give your fur babies. I pay attention to detail and understand how to care for a pet. Your pet will enjoy a comfortable stay in our home with our family as if they were our own. I do not have cages or crates. They will have use of our shaded and grass covered, fenced in backyard at their leisure and get lots of attention from myself and my kids. We truly enjoy spending time with different breeds. I look forward to going on long nature walks, playing with, and caring for your pets. I have been a pet owner my entire life and enjoy every aspect and being in the company of animals. I can provide outdoor play time, walks, feedings, administer medication and give baths to your fur baby. I can carefully follow any instructions provided whether it be crate traing or snuggling.
About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by dogs and understand the deep bond we share with them. Dogs aren't just pets to me - they are family. As a stay-at-home mom, I am incredibly fortunate to be home throughout the day. This means your pup will never be left alone for long hours, and I have all the time in the world to give them the continuous love, attention and companionship they deserve. My family and I recently experienced the profound loss of our beloved pups, including my 17 1/2 year old dachshund and our beautiful Scottish Terrier, both of whom fought brave battles with cancer. We deeply miss the joy, energy and presence of animals in our home. I have so much love left to give and I want to dedicate the time and affection to keeping your pups happy, safe and completely spoiled while you are away. I am a stay-at-home mom. So because I am home during the day, your dog's routine won't be disrupted. I am here to provide timely potty breaks, structured feeding schedules, walks and constant supervision. Because we don't currently have any pets, your dog will receive 100% of our household's attention, cuddles and care. I know exactly how hard it is to trust someone else with your furry family member. Because I've been in your shoes, I prioritize clear communication, daily photo updates and absolute respect for your dog's established routines. Every pup has different needs and I'm always happy to discuss them with you so we can make sure your furry family member receives the best possible care wherever they feel most comfortable.
“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!”
“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!”
“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 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!

“Darby was so great with my 4 month old puppy! She communicated very well and kept me up to date on how she was doing the entire time. I would highly recommend and would rebook with her again!”
“Chase is the absolute best ever! He takes such good care of my baby girl. He loves her like his own. He takes time to walk her and play with her each time he comes over. She gets so excited when he walks in. I highly recommend Chase to take care of your pets❣️❤️❤️❤️”
“Lauren was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and we especially loved receiving daily pictures and updates—they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Lauren did a fantastic job with walking, feeding, and making sure our dog always had fresh water, but most importantly, she truly showed our baby so much love and attention. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Mia is an enthusiastic animal lover who did a lovely job taking care of my geriatric Maine Coon cat. She is conscientious and kept me informed while we were away. I would hire her again.”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! This was my first Rover experience and I couldn’t be happier using Kristen! She gave thorough updates each visit and provided many pictures. She was more than accommodating with the weird schedule we had. I highly recommend Kristen and she even gave extra love to the additional indoor and outdoor animals (she was only responsible for one dog!). I am so glad to know we have someone to check on Rosie and the other animals during future travels. Thank you Kristen!!! 🫶🏽”

“Kelly was amazing! She is super sweet and was very responsive. She sent us updates about our cat and even got him to play! We were shocked! We will be booking her again!”

Pet 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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Waxhaw is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,660 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waxhaw. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waxhaw. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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. 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
