About: Hi there! I'm Erika and I've been dog sitting for over 25 years. It was actually my first job! I have experience with many different breeds, sizes and ages. Dogs are allowed everywhere in my home but the use of a crate is welcome if it makes your fur baby more comfortable. I take the dogs in my care on multiple walks a day and have a separate place for them to eat peacefully, should the need arise. Meet and Greets are a great opportunity to see if my home and family are a good fit for your fur baby. Looking forward to hearing from you! I work from home so any animal in my care will be right by my side! I take all dogs in my care on multiple walks a day for relief and enrichment. My home is clean and safe. I am home the majority of the day so I will be in constant contact with any pet that is my care.

About: I will be home a lot, for the most part, with lots of free time during the week and on the weekends. I do have availability on holidays and will not be leaving town. I have a Veterinarian Assistant certificate which includes professional experience working in a veterinarian office. I frequently pet sit for family members. I also have over 4yrs experience as a kennel lead. Most importantly I am very passionate about animals and I'm very excited to be working on starting a lifetime career in the animal industry. I will treat your dog like I would my own with all the love and care possible. I am home most of the day. During any pets visit, they will never be alone. Your pet will have access to most of the house and a fenced in back yard for play and potty breaks. If I need to leave your pet alone, I do have a crate available for their safety. My home is pet safe. My children are well aware of how to respect pets boundaries. I have areas in my home for your pet to be separate from anything they are uncomfortable with.

About: For them, loving care when you're not there, and for you, peace of mind from anywhere!! Imagine coming home to a pet who's not just content, but truly thriving, tail wagging, eyes sparkling, and a little extra spring in their step. That’s the experience I strive to create for every animal I care for. Hi, I’m Laura, a lifelong animal lover who has cared for everything from playful pups to curious foxes. I understand that every pet is unique, which is why I take the time to get to know their personalities, quirks, and routines. Your instructions are my playbook, and their happiness is my mission. Whether your companions are bursting with energy or prefer the cozy naps of a dormouse, I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, engaged, and loved. With Colorado’s beautiful trails at our doorstep, every walk is an adventure waiting to happen, and your pet might just find their new favorite sitter along the way. With over seven years of compassionate hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including seniors and those with medical needs, I am committed to providing thoughtful, reliable, and compassionate care. Each animal’s unique personality and routine are at the heart of my approach, ensuring every pet receives the individual attention they deserve. I understand that some pets have special needs. Whether that means medical care, managing medications, or following a specific routine, I’m here to help. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, including seniors and those with health concerns. I am fully equipped to handle medication administration and any other specific needs your pet may have. I always take every precaution to make your pet’s well-being my top priority. I am available every day except Saturdays, with flexibility to accommodate your schedule. For house-sitting services, I’m happy to be there on Saturdays if it’s part of a previously scheduled arrangement. Your pet’s care and your convenience are my priorities, and I’m here to help however I can. I accept same day booking!! With atleast a 4 hour notice, last minute bookings will have a one-time fee of $40. When you're away, I know how important it is to stay connected and informed. That's why I provide regular updates, time-stamped check-ins, and immediate communication if anything feels out of the ordinary. If there’s ever any concern or question, I’m always just a message away, ready to provide reassurance. Your peace of mind is just as important to me as your pet's happiness.

About: Hi! My name is Iyah, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. While I am new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for fur-babies!! I have loved animals of all kinds since I arrived on this earth! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels through previous and current professional work experience at a dog and cat care/boarding business, along with caring for pets in my personal life as well. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic grooming care, administering medications when needed, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also understand that every dog is different, so I always try to pay attention to their personality, routines, boundaries, body language and needs. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including anxious pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide reliable care, consistent communication, and lots of updates/photos for peace of mind. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed, I’ll make sure they receive patience, attention, love and genuine care. Your baby will be cared for and loved on as if they were my own. For me to be even more successful in what I do, I love all my clients to give me as much details about their babies as possible, I'm here to accommodate, support and make you and your pet-parent life as comfortable as possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾 ⚠️DISCLAIMER⚠️ 🐾 Meet My Pet-Care Partner! For transparency and safety, I want all pet parents to know that my fiancé, Robert, may accompany me for certain bookings—particularly overnight house-sitting stays or bookings farther away from home. Robert and I both work professionally with animals full-time and have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, routines, and needs. We genuinely love what we do, and your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. 🐶🐱💕 For house-sitting bookings, I may request that Robert accompany me, as I am a young woman staying overnight in an unfamiliar home and area. I completely understand that this is your home, so this will always be discussed with you beforehand—there will never be an unexpected additional guest in your home. You’re also more than welcome to meet both of us during our Meet & Greet so you can feel completely comfortable with who will be caring for your pets and staying in your home. My goal is for everyone to feel safe and comfortable—your pets, you, and us! 🐾🤍 I work two jobs, but my schedules aren't consistent. I'm open to taking care of your babies whenever I am off and whenever I do have free time. I would prefer coming to your home to care for your babies as I do still stay with family who are not as dog crazy and loving as me.

About: Hi, I’m Sara! 👋 Dogs have been my passion for over 12 years, and caring for them is one of my favorite things to do. Whether your pup is an energetic adventurer, a couch cuddle expert, or a senior who just wants a slow stroll and some extra love, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I owner-trained my own service dog, which taught me how to truly understand canine body language, behavior, and communication. I’m always paying attention to the little things—whether a dog is feeling playful, nervous, overstimulated, or just needs a little extra patience. I have extensive experience with bully breeds, am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and have experience safely managing crate-and-rotate households. I’m also confident administering medications and caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away and for you to have complete peace of mind. Expect plenty of photo updates, belly rubs (if they’re into that!), playtime, enrichment, and lots of one-on-one attention. I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I do this full time since I was laid off last year. I have very open availability and time to dedicate to your fur babies! I make sure each client leaves detailed instructions for food, medication and any vet care needed. I’m ocd about having all the info I need to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you’re out of town.

About: I’ve pretty much always had a dog by my side! I’ve had four dogs throughout my life, and they’ve ranged from my little Cavachon all the way up to a Boerboel, Great Dane, and now my Cane Corso puppy, so I’m definitely not afraid of the big babies! 🐾 My Cavachon was with me for most of my life, and I had the privilege of caring for him from his energetic puppy years all the way through his senior years. That experience taught me so much about how a dog’s needs change as they get older. I’m just as comfortable keeping up with a puppy who wants to get into absolutely everything as I am slowing things down for a senior who needs a little more patience, gentleness, and extra love. I’ve also been involved in training all of my dogs, so I have experience with puppy training, basic commands, potty training, leash manners, boundaries, socialization, and creating consistent routines. Having Boerboels, Great Danes, and now a Cane Corso has also made me very comfortable with large and giant breeds. I know they may look intimidating to some people, but I’ve always had a huge soft spot for the gentle giants! I think what really sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual. Some want to play nonstop, some want to explore every smell on a walk, some think they’re 100-pound lap dogs, and others just want someone nearby to keep them company. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. I know how much I love and worry about my own pets, so I completely understand wanting someone you can trust with yours. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, give them plenty of attention and affection, follow the routines you’ve established, and of course send you lots of pictures and updates along the way! ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I have flexibility to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care throughout the week. I’m a university student, so while I do have classes and other responsibilities, my schedule allows me to plan pet care around them and dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for as well as my own. I’m available for morning and evening walks, drop-ins throughout the day depending on my class schedule, and weekend care. I’m also happy to coordinate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure I can maintain their pet’s normal feeding, walking, potty, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. When I accept a booking, I make sure I have the time to provide reliable, attentive care rather than simply fitting a pet into a busy day. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone’s pet. As a puppy owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care and how important the little details of their routine can be. I treat every pet I care for with the same patience, attention, and affection I would want someone to give my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, boundaries, and any special instructions their owner provides. I’m careful about securing doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses, staying aware of our surroundings during walks, and making sure pets are comfortable and properly supervised. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both their pet and their space. I follow feeding, walking, potty, medication, and bedtime instructions carefully and do my best to maintain the routine their pet already knows and feels comfortable with. I also believe communication is a big part of building trust. I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention.

About: Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved animals. I have always had a family pet and I currently have a sweet puppy of my own, his name is Ollie. In high school I volunteered at local animal shelters and started dog/ farm sitting for friends and family. It is one of my lifetime dreams to open up a doggy cafe and maybe even a doggy day camp. So if you ever need anyone to dog sit, walk your pups, or even just hang out with them for a little while… I am super flexible and more than willing!! I have a very flexible and remote job, so I can always find time to escape to go play with some pups! I’m available more often than not for dog/housesitting, walks, and check ins throughout the week!! My biggest concern is that your fur baby is happy and healthy. Every family is different and every dog may require different needs, I understand that and know that all too well. I am pretty flexible and up for anything to ensure your pup is living their best life. I am a big fan of communication so I will always ask questions if any situation arises. And I will keep you updated with tons of cute photos of your sweet babies.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have been surrounded by them for most of my life! Growing up around my grandmother’s farm gave me plenty of experience being around different animals. I also have 6 years of pet care experience, including caring for my grandmother’s three dogs whenever she travels. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and looking after multiple dogs at once. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family! I’m currently a full-time online college student, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I’m also a very active person, so I love going on walks, spending time outdoors, and keeping dogs entertained. Since I’m not currently working, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to making sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, so I make sure to follow any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive, patient, and love giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I’m always happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and loved every single one of them! I also worked at an animal clinic all through high school and college, so I’ve picked up a lot of experience reading dog and cat behavior and adjusting to each pet’s personality. I’m comfortable giving medication (including insulin shots), and I can help with baths or nail trims if needed. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away—whether we’re out for a walk, playing, or just hanging out for some cuddle time. I am available for pet sitting in your home, walks, and drop-ins after 6 pm on weekdays and anytime on the weekend. I can offer engaging play and 30+ minute walks, whatever you like. I offer bathing and toe nail clipping per request, or if your pet gets exceptionally dirty while you are gone (it happens!), I will bathe for free. Feeding and treats will be given per your instructions, and I will do whatever your pet needs to be comfortable while you’re away, so don’t be afraid to ask!

About: I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, so I focus on providing dependable, loving, attentive care while keeping pets relaxed and comfortable in their own environment. What sets me apart is my flexible availability, calm personality, and genuine love for animals. I’m patient with shy pets, attentive to routines and special instructions, and I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals rather than just “checking in.” I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets, senior pets, and pets who may need extra attention, slower walks, medications, or a little extra reassurance while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel connected and at ease while traveling. My youngest child has gone off to college, and I’ve lovingly cared for neighbors’, friends’, and family members’ fur babies for years. That’s my grand-fur-baby English Cream Golden in the photo 🥰 I have a very flexible schedule and open availability, so your pets will get lots of attention, affection, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, evenings, overnights, and holidays. I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family and always try to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits and walks, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love. For overnight stays in a client’s home, I aim to provide a calm, comforting presence so pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean and tidy, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets, senior pets, and administering basic medications if needed. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual personality, energy level, and routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Carl is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $7 and $25 per walk.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Carl. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Carl after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carl. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
