“Did amazing at last moments notice. Treated our puppies so well and gave them lots of love while we were away. Very communicative and sent updates and left our house and dogs clean and happy.”
About: I am the person who runs up to a dog in the store. I grew up walking,bathing, and house sitting dogs of all sorts. I now have 3 of my own. I have one yorkie poo, husky and pointer lab. I am a crazy dog mom who treats my dogs like humans and I will treat yours like they are my own. I am currently doing free lance work for acting and modeling. My schedule varies but most of the time throughout the week I am free. I have a long notice before shoots to be able to customize my schedule:) If your pet is hands on, I am very hands on. If it likes to relax I will also relax with them. I am a big advocate of animals feeling safe and loved No matter what kind of personality they have.
“Abby is amazing! She provided consistent updates and pictures while house/cat sitting. I never once felt uneasy or uncomfortable being away from my cats because I knew she was taking such good care of them. Even though my cats were too grumpy to fully engage with Abby, she respected their space and let them work up the courage to approach her. She also left our home very clean and organized. We highly recommend her for some peace of mind. We’re looking forward to booking with her again.”
“Abigail did a fantastic job watching our critters! She was great about sending pics of Oban and Mabel, and she kept our house looking nice and clean. We would definitely have her house sit again and recommend her!”
“She arrived exactly on time, and took great care of the dogs. She seems very kind and gentle, and was respectful of our home. We will definitely book with her again!”
About: **Pick-up Time is 24 hours from the time you drop your pet off (A 2 hour grace period will be given).** I have been watching dogs for as long as I can remember. In my 40+ years, I have always owned a dog...from large dogs to small lap dogs and even cats. Each one is treated like my own. I work from home FT, so I look forward to the company. I'm an Air Force Veteran, therefore, you can depend on me to be loyal and dependable. I can assure you that I will treat your “babies” like they were my own; not only because I’m an animal lover, but because it’s how I want my “babies” treated while I’m away. In my home, I currently have an 8lb Maltese named Snoopy that I adopted 9 years ago. It is technically my 15 y/o's son's--but I think he likes me better =) There wasn't an option to select teenager for children in the home, but my son does help me out from time to time with permission from you, of course. The great thing about me is that I am very flexible. I can usually accept last minute requests that others cannot. For the first week, when walking your dog, I do try to spend a little additional time each visit with your pets (at no additional charge) just so we both can get acclimated to one another. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets and to create a lasting friendship with both of you! Im recently retired from the Federal government, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. It also keeps me from getting bored and becoming a couch potato lol. I provide loving, reliable care by following each pet's routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of attention. I keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while providing owners with regular updates.
“Mila stayed at our house for 5 nights to care for our 2 dogs and 2 cats. I was nervous because it was the first time that they had been cared for by anyone other than family. Mila did a wonderful job and kept us updated throughout our trip with texts and pictures. When we arrived home, our babies were happy and everything in the house was as we had left it. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Words do not express how grateful I am for Temi. I was a first time Rover user, for an overnight stay for 5 days. I have two dogs that vary in temperament. We originally were simply going to board our dogs at a local pet “hotel”. These plans fell through, and we decided to give Rover a try. From the moment Temi decided to accept our overnight booking, she was VERY professional and personable. She asked all the right questions to understand how to best support our two fur babies while we were out of town. Her communication is TOP NOTCH, and she continued to update us via the APP. It felt good to get pictures and videos, which confirmed our first babies were happy and well cared for. Temi is amazing because she immediately caught on to helping our younger fur baby with improving her leash manners. In today’s society it’s not always you find someone who goes above and beyond. Temi did, and I am so appreciative that she accepted our booking. She will now be our go to for any out of town visits. Thank you 🙏🏾 so much Temi!!!”
“I highly recommend Eric! As a pet sitter myself, it’s tough leaving your beloved animals with someone else, but Eric took wonderful care of our two rescue dogs and one rescue cat. He provided daily updates with pictures … and we came back to happy animals and a clean home😊 Do yourself a favor and book him!”
“Leslie was great with my pup Bogey! She communicated often, sent pictures and kept me updated on everything during the stay. The house was probably better than I had left it when I got home! I will definitely use Leslie again!”
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.
“Felipe took care of our home and furry kids for almost two weeks, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He is incredibly responsible, dependable, and kind. Milo and Lulu clearly adored him—you could see it in the photos he shared with us. After reading his Rover reviews, it’s easy to see why Felipe is so highly rated. He is very respectful, neat, and tidy, and he kept our home in impeccable condition. He washed the bedding and towels used, which was such a thoughtful and much-appreciated gesture. Thank you Felipe! We were also lucky enough to spend some time with Felipe over a cup of tea or 2, and get to know him personally. He is a genuinely caring, smart and honest person, and we felt completely at ease knowing our home and furry kids were in his care. He is exactly the kind of person you want looking after your home and pets. In movie terms, I’d award Felipe an Oscar ⭐️”
“Lindsey sent lots of pictures and was great about working with my very needy dogs! One loves to sleep with a person at night for snuggles and the other is very timid, she did great with both and sent lots of pictures and updates. Will book again!”
“Jennifer is a fantastic house/dog sitter! I was out of town for a four day weekend and leaving Opus for the very first time. I didn’t have to spend a single moment from my weekend being concerned over my dog, because I knew he was in excellent hands!”
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!
“Destini was amazing!! She was very kind and communicative while staying with our pups. She even handled our dog’s epilepsy episode and medications like a champ. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life! I have also taken care of neighbors pets for several years now and just looking to do so in my new home. I care for horses in my day to day and I love them and wish I could board them but I need a much bigger space for that! So in the meantime, I have a spare room where crated dogs could stay or cats! I love being around animals and I plan on getting a cat and then a dog or two in the future once I have a bigger area for them! I would love to watch and take care of your pets and you can count on me for them to be well taken care of! I work 9-5 on wednesdays and thursdays and in the evenings on weekends! Outside of those times I can be with your pet as much as needed! Mondays and Tuesdays are my days off. I am in a two story townhome with a spare room on the ground level. I can have crates if needed in there and there’s a pretty big walkable area outside of the town house for bathroom breaks and walks! At a clients home, I am comfortable with most places!
About: I treat each pet as if they were my own, paying close attention to their individual needs and personalities. I have experience caring for puppies, including basic training and helping them learn good habits and tricks early on. I’m also comfortable supporting senior pets, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I love taking dogs on fun neighborhood walks or exciting dog park adventures. With me, your pet gets lots of love, and playtime. My schedule is open and flexible — I always do my best to fit you in, even with other reservations throughout the day. Weekends are also available for a little extra, and rates can always be discussed to find what works best for you! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities!

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 of House Sitting in Carl is $41 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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 sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carl. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters 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.
