“Peyton did a great job dropping off to feed and entertain my 2 cats while I was gone. My place was kept clean and he spent the full 30 minutes with them at each visit.”

“My little girl was taken care of and got to stretch her legs mid day! Definitely gave me so much peace of mind to have such a kind hearted person care for my best friend.”

“Mary does a wonderful job! Walks with my dog, gives lots of pets and attention to my cat and dog! Know they are excited to see her when I’m traveling.”


About: I grew up loving and caring for dogs since my first pup, Madison, when I was 14. I’m the proud human to my current dog, Callie, who is a 4 year old cockapoo. I often watch my friend’s dogs and work from home so I’m always around and able to go on multiple walks a day. I work from home in west Charlotte so your pup won’t be left alone. I’m also able to take multiple walks a day :) I have a large, shaded, fenced-in yard with plenty of room to play. My neighborhood has sidewalks and a park nearby (currently being updated but reopening soon)
“Maria did a great job! She was consistent with checking in and sending us updates of our cat! She always took pictures. Our cat is even a little skittish and she came right to Maria!”


“Sarah was punctual and a good communicator when it came to initially meeting my dog and doing a drop in visit! I really appreciated her notes and photos of my dog while I was out. I would definitely use Sarah again!”


About: I’ve taken care of different kinds of animals since I could remember! I currently have a cat and rabbit of my own who are 4 and 10 years old (I know, pretty old for a rabbit!!) ! I’ve taken care of multiple family, friends, and neighbors dogs/cats/small pets for the past 3 years as a side hustle while I’m in college, and I try to meet my animals as often as I can between classes. I strive to be as reliable as I can for my furry friends and aim to be more experienced by the end of the year! I currently have open availability for all your furry friends and would love to be booked by you! I just got out of school and have extra time on my hands! I am happy to follow any requests given by the owner! Clear instructions are very helpful and will allow me to take the very best care of your pet!

About: My experience is marked by personal and professional work with animals. I was the team lead overseeing operations at a dog care facility for two and a half years, where I worked firsthand with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperments in group play, one on one enrichment, and individual training sessions. I specialize in caring for reactive and behaviorally challenged dogs, particularly rescues. I am capable of administering medication in any oral fashion including gentle pilling, as well as supportive training, senior care, and providing baths (including curly fur types) and nail trims. I have a varied job schedule that provides sporadic extended free time, especially during the summer. I accept pet care clients based on my availability, so I am available for week-of bookings and advanced bookings. When visiting pets, I recognize that I am in their home and act accordingly. Prior to a visit, I make every effort to understand your pet's daily routine so that I can provide a stable, familiar routine while visiting. Additionally, I make bonding a top priority, and take time to get to know each pet I work with so that I can provide individualized care and work to become a trusted person on their terms.
“Melanie was so sweet and took such great care of my kitties! Every day I could tell (through picture updates) that my cats warmed up to her pretty quickly. She even brought in my mail! Would definitely recommend Melanie to watch your fur babies! ❤️❤️”

“Grace was absolutely wonderful with my shy boy! He took to her immediately and really enjoyed having her company while I was out of town. Grace has the magic touch with cranky older cats! She also took great care to keep the space clean and tidy. I would absolutely recommend Grace and will definitely hire her again when we travel!”


“Kristin was great! We were gone for almost 2 weeks and our cats didn’t miss a beat. She sent great photos & updates. Kitties liked her and had happy tails in all the photos she sent. Will book again for our next trip!”

“Ethana was great! My skittish cat actually came out to say hello the first time she stopped by, and both of my cats really liked her right away. Your pets will be in good hands!”

“Allison did a phenomenal job with our dogs!! She arrived a few minutes early for each visit and followed the instructions we talked about to a T. I will definitely reach out to her again:)”
About: Ive been a dog owner since the age of 14. I was in charge of taking care of my dog, Jewel and loved every minute of it! After her passing, I adopted 4 dogs and currently have 2 pit bull mixes at home. I have cared for multiple dogs in homes while I was a nanny and often dog sat while the families were out of town. In fact, all homes where I was a full time nanny also had dogs in my care. From Anita's to chiuauas. I've loved them all! I currently work full-time but my work day is usually done at 3pm and I will be off during summer break. My weekends often have availability as well. I would prefer to care for dogs in the owners home, if possible. If in my home they will need to be friendly to other dogs as my own will be there. We have a yard, but not fenced so the dogs will be walked regularly.
“Airym took great care of my pets! I had peace of mind knowing that they were in good hands. I appreciated all of the updates in making sure that they were being taken care of and loved while I was gone. Will book again when i travel.”

“Christopher provided great care to my cats while I was away for a while. He made sure to give them extra attention and love! I appreciate the updates on the rover cards, especially the adorable pictures he took. He always arrived on time to feed the cats. They seemed well taken care of when I arrived back home. One of my cats didn't want him to leave and kept wanting attention from him. Thank you for being there for the cats!”


About: From caring for beta fish and guinea pigs at a young age to looking after pit bulls and dogs of all sizes, I’ve loved caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I quickly became the neighborhood pet sitter, and even now as an adult, I’m often the person friends and neighbors call for walks, drop-ins, and reliable pet care. I provide attentive, dependable care and work to create a safe, comfortable, and loving experience for every pet I watch. Because I genuinely love animals and connect with them easily, I focus on giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while helping them feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. I also value communication and make sure owners feel informed and reassured through regular updates, photos, and messages. My experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities has helped me build trust with both pets and their owners, ensuring every dog feels happy, safe, and well cared for. You can expect flexible scheduling and dependable care, with open availability on Fridays and remote workdays throughout the week that make me available for drop-ins, walks, and extra attention for your pets. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my apartment, which has access to dog parks and nearby walking trails for exercise and playtime. I make sure pets stay on their normal routines as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, play, and plenty of attention and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining clear communication with owners through updates and photos. My priority is always making pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for.
Wilson Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Erica is incredible! So warm and affectionate towards our 2 cats and very communicative. We looked forward to the many pictures and detailed check-in notes from Erica each day. Our pets warmed up to her quickly, she was extremely respectful of our space and took great care of our fur babies. Can’t recommend her enough!!

I could not have asked for a better person to watch my dogs. I have never had a person outside the family to look after them, nor have I given a person access to my home. I recommend Ruben 100% and will gladly call on him again. My dogs took to him on his first visit that assured me I made the best decision. Thank you so much Ruben, it meant so much to me that you made my dogs and I very comfortable.
We had a great experience using Rover, and Amanda was fantastic! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of our dog. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. We would absolutely book with Amanda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

Kelly did a wonderful job checking on my cats while I was out of town and communicated with me throughout the entire stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Even my shy little guy came out of hiding for her, which says a lot about her calm and caring energy! I highly recommend Kelly and will absolutely be using her services again.
