Jen and her daughter took wonderful care of our kitties! We were so grateful to have such loving carers for them while we were away. We look forward to booking Jen again for our next trip!

Justin was punctual with his visits to my pup and did exactly what I asked him to do. He gave her lots of pets and belly rubs, which she loves.

About: Since I was 12 years old I have been dog sitting at my home, dog walking, doing visits and assisting with South Charlotte Dog Rescue doing short term fosters. I have worked with dogs of all ages and have good experience with different needs and requirements. I am currently working part time and doing some fun projects. But I still have plenty of time for your pup. I am flexible on times and days just please communicate with me! I will provide safe, reliable dog walks and home visits while making sure your dog is happy and healthy. I will ensure pets have food, water, exercise, and attention, while keeping their environment calm and secure. I treat every pet and home with respect, patience, and care.

This is the second time that Gina has cared for our cat while we are away. Gina is wonderful...she truly loves cats, is mature and an excellent communicator and photographer (she takes better pictures of G. than I think I ever have!) We will always book Gina as our first choice as she is a treasure!

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 outside the house - so weekday care might be difficult if you need someone at your home during the day. I can be available evenings and weekends, and depending on the specific case, I could make arrangements during the day. 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.

About: I have been taking care of my own pets for about 8 years, and I have also helped my family with their pet care responsibilities. I am currently looking for work, so I have morning and afternoon availability to offer pet care and walking services, always with attention, patience, and love. Near where I live, there's a fenced dog park, and at home, I have a balcony where pets can relax, play and enjoy the outdoors.

Her credentials are what drew me to her and from day one (the meet and greet) I knew she’d be the one. Loki my male cat doesn’t warm up to anyone for at least a week of them coming around and he went right to her. He could sense her kind soul. I have never hired a pet sitter before this but I will definitely hire Taryn again. She went above and beyond. I had to have major surgery and was in the hospital for 7 days and it was comforting to know that my cats Stella and Loki were in terrific loving hands. Love Love Love her!!!

About: We have over 10 years of experience in pet sitting. Our love for animals drives us to give them the attention and care they deserve. We understand each pet's unique needs, whether it's administering medication, comforting anxious pets, or simply playing with them. Our commitment to their well-being and happiness ensures they feel safe, loved, and at home while their owners are away. We understand that leaving your beloved pup alone while you're away for vacation or tied up with work can be a source of stress and worry. That's where we come in! We're a dedicated duo that works from home and is passionate about providing a loving and caring environment for dogs of all ages. We offer constant companionship, supervision, and daily walks for furry friends in our care. Our priority is to provide exciting adventures that keep tails wagging and hearts full, including playtime, cuddles, and exploring new trails. We absolutely adore our playful pup, Winter, and we make sure to give her plenty of love and attention every day. That includes taking her for 2-3 walks so she can stretch her legs and providing her with a cozy bed (or four!) for all her well-deserved naps.

About: Imagine Mary Poppins and Cesar Milan (dog whisperer) had a love child...that's me! I've been loving and caring for animals from birth to the rainbow bridge for over 35 years. My relationship with animals is intuitive, organic, and informed. As a pet sitter, what sets me apart from others is my PASSION in providing care for animals with special needs. I have extensive training and experience in caring for puppies, seniors, and pets with medical conditions. I prioritize the individual needs of each pet in my care, providing tailored attention and ensuring their comfort and well-being at all times. With me, you can rest assured that your beloved furry friend will receive the highest level of care and attention they deserve. I know CPR, am comfortable giving shots, know how to administer rectal medication and can save your pet’s life if necessary. I'm retired. My time is devoted to loving on dogs. I don't allow more than 2 dog clients at a time in my home. The house is big enough to separate dogs, but typically there is only 1 dog at a time so that they get one on one full time attention. I will play and care for them as if they are my own flesh and blood. I never leave for more than 2 hours at a time to run to the doctor, grocery store, Walmart etc. I have a very large fenced in yard and a senior dog to keep your pet company. It is sunny on one side, which is a great place to play and on the other side it is shady. My home sits on approxiately 2 acres. They are more than welcome to lay on the furniture and especially my bed - that is if you allow that in your own home. My home is crate & kennel-free. So your doggie will roam free in the house and yard. Now, you can bring your own crate if your pup is used to sleeping in it or needs to be crated on the rare occasion I leave the house.

Jessica did an amazing job taking care of our 2 year old and new-to-us 3 year old doggos. We had never used a service like this before, but Jessica put us at ease by meeting with us before our trip. She sent us photos and check ups each time she visited. Will definitely be using her again!

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 have classes in the mornings until around 12, which leaves me free for the rest of the day and evenings. I’m available for check-ins, feedings, walks, and overnight stays with pets throughout the afternoon and night. 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.

First time using Rover and Brittany. She did an initial meet and greet and came by one more time before services started since I was a new customer. Brittany communicated daily and sent pictures. One of my cats needed meds and she did all as requested. Would use her again and do recommend.

Katherine continues to provide great care for my elderly sheltie. Sophie now knows her and greets her like family, and I know that shes in great care as well as my home during her visits. I'm confident when Katherine is in my home with Sophie all is being done to provide a great environment for her, and I know she is diligent in taking care of my home.

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.

About: Hi! I'm Christina. I'm married and have a dog, two cats, and an African Grey Parrot. I work remotely, I love to travel, and I love animals, so I'm happy to find a way to combine all three! I work remotely for a bank as a Technical Writer. When I'm not doing that, I love to read and travel. A few years ago, I did a solo cruise to Alaska, and it was probably one of the best trips of my life. Whale watching was something on my bucket list, and I was really excited that the stars aligned for the opportunity to do that on my birthday. My parents have lived on a farm for about 16 years now, so I have a lot of experience with farm life and caring for chickens, guineas, goats, fish, and livestock guardian dogs. Along with my experience owning dogs, cats, and parrots. If you think we would be a good fit, please feel free to reach out, and I'm happy to chat more! 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.

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!

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Waxhaw

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 4,622 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waxhaw. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 .

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:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 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.
