“Kimberlee was an excellent sitter for our two dogs. One of our dogs is very anxious and takes a long time to warm up to people, but she quickly warmed up to Kimberlee. Kimberlee kept our house tidy and even watered our plants. We would definitely book with Kimberlee again.”
“Edi was so wonderful, she took amazing care of our three pets, was communicative, brought in mail and watered plants. She took such good care of our animals, I would have her back anytime.”
“We went out of town just after Christmas and needed a dog sitter. We were very pleased to come home to a happy, healthy pup, we had great communication the whole time and received a set of pictures and updates every evening. We will be using Maria Abigail‘s dog sitting service again!”
“Laura was phenomenal. It was a last minute booking and she went out of her way to make our life easy while I’m out of town and my husband having a changing work schedule. She was an extra hand that adapted to changes quickly which we both appreciated.”
“Rebecca was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of our three dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos and messages, which meant a lot to us. She was friendly, professional, trustworthy, and clearly cared about our dogs as if they were her own. It was obvious they were well cared for and getting lots of attention while we were gone. She even went above and beyond by keeping the floors vacuumed. We have a German Shepherd who is shedding quite a bit right now, and we came home to a house that wasn’t covered in dog hair, which was such a pleasant surprise. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be using Rebecca again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I currently have three cats and a dog! Im very well rounded in terms of animal care, safety, and enrichment. I am a nursing school student so I can promise you safety is my top priority if your baby needs special care, I can safely administer injectable medications if needed. I am free day or night. I will always work with you to accommodate even the most last minute scheduling. I am currently available reliably Friday-Monday with occasional by request times available on other days. Message me if you are unsure! I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. I follow feeding schedules, refresh water, clean litter boxes, administer medications if needed, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I have worked with Senior and disabled animals so I am able to provide a well rounded range of care. I can also send regular photo and video updates because I know how scary it can be to trust someone in your home with your babies. You will never be left wondering under my care. For cats- Having 3 of my own, I totally understand that every cat has a different personality! Whether your cat is social and loves attention or prefers space and a calm environment, I take the time to earn their trust and keep their routine consistent. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Patti was wonderful with our pups! We really appreciate the care she took with our fur babies. Great communication on how everything was going. She even collected mail, ran the dishwasher and took the garbage to the curb for pickup. We will definitely be calling on her again”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely fantastic! She was sure to check in with us daily about how our pets were doing and took the cutest photos. She asked so many detailed questions so she could make sure that she followed our regular routine, which we appreciated so much. She was sweet enough to take the mail in and left the house perfectly clean. Our dog and kitten were very happy when we came home and we could tell that they enjoyed their time with her. We'll absolutely be using her next time we go out of town! :)”
“I can’t say enough good things about Sahara! This was the very first time I left my dogs with someone outside of my immediate family, so I was naturally nervous. From the moment I left for vacation, she made me and my fur babies feel completely at ease. She was caring, reliable, attentive, and treated my dogs like they were her own. Thank you!!!!!!”

About: In the 8th grade I started pet sitting and called it “Laila’s pet sitting” (so creative I know).

I am excited to expand my services and support more pet parents in my local community through Rover! I am dog and cat CPR and first aid trained.

About: I love dogs and cats too, I got into dog - sitting when I first moved to Georgia and my neighbor went out of town I watched her dog while she was gone and have been dog sitting ever since. I love going out and walking dogs and playing with dogs. I make sure they feel like they are loved and with their owners when I watch animals I love making them even little treats and dinners. Also if you have specific thing your animal eats then you can count on me to make sure they have a good healthy meal, I also am good about giving them their medication. I understand how people love for their animals as if they were their children and I totally get it. You worry about them and want to make sure they are taken care of well. I myself even hate the thought of my animal being alone for over a long period of time because of work or school.
“Eric took great care of my 4 babies while I was away for surgery. He made a stressful trip more manageable for me, knowing I had a reliable and experienced sitter who could stay in my home where my pets feel most safe. I've had situations in the past where my trips were disrupted due to my dogs anxious barking, but Eric won my babies over and had no issues at all with them. I'd highly recommend Eric.”
“Kathy was a dream come true. I have two cats. A young and feisty female and an elderly male cat (18 years old). She took care of them like a rock star getting them both to warm up to her in the 7 days we were away. She spent time with them and nurtured them like I would. The older cat is in diapers and she handled that like a charm. When we got home our house was in order and very clean. She brought in the mail and put out the trash and generally treated our home as if it was hers. I highly recommend Kathy and will definitely use her again.”
“Donnis makes traveling actually less anxiety filled. I’m so thankful she’s been able to watch our three fur babies while keeping an eye on the house. Absolutely so lucky we found her - our fur babies are happy and so are we!”
“Charlotte was wonderful with our pets! Our normally skittish small dog took to her right away. The cats and the big dog love her too. We will booking with her again in the future. She was great with communicating, quick to text back or call if there was an issue. The house was very tidy when she left. Everyday, she would walk the dogs on their usual schedule. At the end of the day she would send an updated with a daily summary of activities and pictures. We were very happy knowing our pets were in her loving care while we were away.”
“Our dogs seemed to be very happy and cared for while Sarah stayed with them. She provided photos and feedback throughout her stay, which were greatly appreciated. Our home was left in perfect condition as well. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to keep your fur babies.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Carl is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carl
Grace was an exceptional pet sitter. My wife and I were gone for a week and she made us feel completely comfortable knowing that our dogs were in good hands. She stayed at our house and upon our return everything was perfect. She kept us updated about our dogs everyday.
Cindy was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met her, we knew our dog was in great hands. She was caring, reliable, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious that she genuinely loves animals, and our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter! We will call her again definitely..!!!! Thank you again and again. 🙏🏼

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Carl on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,568 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carl. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Carl walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Carl maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Carl choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
