About: Hello! My name is Baylor, and I've been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. For the past four years, I've worked as a veterinary technician, giving me extensive experience caring for animals and ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and safe. My veterinary background allows me to confidently administer medications, recognize changes in behavior, and provide attentive care for pets with special needs. In addition to my clinical experience, I've been pet sitting for many of my veterinary clients over the past few years. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently taking care of pets as my full-time job, allowing me to be very available and have widespread flexibility to fit your scheduling needs. I am able to care for your dog or cat in whichever way feels most comfortable for you, whether that is a puppy who needs training, walks, and crated time, or a senior cat that requires more frequent, attentive visits and a strict schedule of medication. Given my background, I am also happy to provide additional services such as baths, nail trimmings, and gland expressions when necessary.

I felt completely at ease with Joanne watching my cat and being in my home. She is a natural with animals, sent updates, responded quickly and went above and beyond. I was able to enjoy a few days away without worry. I would highly recommend!

About: I have been caring for animals for most of my life, growing up on a dairy farm where I was responsible for the daily care of a variety of animals. This experience taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to detail when caring for pets. In addition to my farm background, I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors while they are away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while their owners are gone. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am committed to following each pet's routine and ensuring they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I work full-time during the week and maintain a consistent schedule, which allows me to provide reliable pet care services. I am generally available in the evenings, on weekends, and during select weekdays depending on my schedule. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate the needs of both pets and their owners whenever possible. Please feel free to reach out regarding availability, as I am happy to discuss scheduling and find a time that works for everyone. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I understand the trust involved in leaving your pet in someone else's care. I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while maintaining the routines and expectations you have for your pet. I live in a quiet area with access to safe walking routes and outdoor spaces for exercise and enrichment. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a companion nearby, I will tailor their care to their individual needs and personality. I will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet's stay so you can have peace of mind knowing they are being cared for as if they were my own.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I was the little kid that visited the neighbors just to see their dogs. I have dog sat on many occasions. I am very detail oriented and love abiding by schedules. I do not mind the size of the dog either. The more dogs you have the better. I will gladly meet the dog(s) beforehand to see if they are comfortable with me. Other pets are also welcome too! The most animals I have watched at one time was three dogs and one cat. I am not opposed to light cleaning for the animals when necessary. Any routines you have for feeding or walking will always be followed. If you have any questions please ask me. I look forward to meeting your pets!

I am also able to stay at your home when needed. I am happy to abide by whatever guidelines you set to ensure your baby is safe & your home is well cared for as well.

About: I've always had a dog since I can remember and have been the family "dog person" since (besides the vet in the family, of course). I've taken care of my own dogs and the other dogs in the family with no problem. I'm currently in between jobs so I'm available all week. Weekends are can be considered but mostly Monday through Friday due to my family's weekend activities. I have a very nice pup to keep your baby company who enjoys zoomies very much. I don't have a yard but great leash training skills and a very nice community to walk around. As long as your fur baby likes treats, they'll be happy.

About: My name is Matthew and I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have a 100lb Labrador who’s not just my pet—he’s my best buddy. We walk, hike, play, and explore every day, rain or shine! I understand how much your furry friends mean to you, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own—with love, patience, and plenty of exercise. Whether you need regular walks, help on busy days, or just want your pup to get some extra attention, I’m here to help! Reliable. Experienced. I currently work full time from home but I’m very active so I keep my dog active with me. We are up at 5am everyday going for runs/walks. On breaks we always get outside to enjoy the weather and allow him to use the bathroom if needed. After work if I’m not busy I love to take him to the dog park or on another walk around the neighborhood. So I’m available every weekday from 5am-8am and after work from 6pm-9pm I have a big open yard that I have an electric fence for my dog to go out as he needs with or without me. When leaving the yard he gets his harness put on and a leash with poop bags. We walk on the sidewalk at all times. We stop and sit before looking to see if we can cross the road.

About: I've taken care of dogs for roughly 4 years now. I started off doing rover in 2019 and I loved it! I treated the dogs as if they were my own and we built a bond. I built trust with their owners through good communication, reliability, and of course showing tons of affection towards the fur babies. I just recently worked at a doggy daycare but it wasnt working with my schedule so I am back to rover! I am currently in school online so being able to board the dogs is really working with my schedule. I can walk them every 2 hours. I can set alarms for their feedings times and give them tons of cuddles and playtime. I have a very friendly dog that loves playing with others dogs. I like taking her to the park and trails right by my apartment. Your fur baby will definitely have a lot to do!

Jamie was absolutely wonderful. She made sure our cat Cali was taken care of. Cali needs insulin shot twice a day. She was there for her everyday. Jamie sent update on Cali and pictures. It was great to see how our Cali was doing as this was the first time having to use someone to give her insulin. Would highly recommend Jamie.

About: I’ve had a pet for as long as I can remember. 7 months ago I adopted a rescue puppy and I have learned a lot about training. I have taken 2 courses for puppy training during this time because my little guy was very rambunctious. He just turned a year old and is the best boy. All of my friends have also asked me to watch their fur babies as well when they are out or on vacation. I am reliable, trustworthy, and will take care of your baby the way I take care of my own. I am a full time photographer. Most of my shoots are in the evening or on the weekends. I always know my schedule days to week ahead of time which allows my schedule with you to be very flexible. By providing the necessities but with lots of affection and love. I will feed your fur baby, play with them, talk to them, let them run around the yard or bring them on a long walk, and even snuggle with them if they’re up for it.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Carbondale on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 325 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Carbondale. 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 Carbondale 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 Carbondale. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
