Great job. Was able to schedule us with little notice when we had family emergency. She took great care of our stubborn, spoiled cat and I never worried. Sent pics even when he hid under the bed! We will be using Aisha again!

I have many references upon request. I am very dependable and can follow through with your current routine for you dog. I am a CGC evaluator for the AKC canine good citizen testing. I offer in home boarding and bathing out of my own home. I can also do dog walking and doggie day care. We are currently trying to get Camaras around the three dog yards we have for owners to see what their pet is doing. I would be happy to help you with any dog boarding, training, bathing needs! I am a stay at home mom. We have 4 children. We are home pretty much 24/7. We do have kids activities occasionally and errands to run. For the most part we give 24/7 care. We have 3 fenced in yards. We separate dogs by size and demeanor. We also have a huge dog room four feet from my bedroom. We create at night like most people do at home. If your pet does not need to be created we accommodate to that as well.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and big dogs and I love all of them. I’ve been dog sitting for close family and friends for a long time now and I truly enjoy it! I’m a full time college student working a part time job, but I still have plenty of free time to care for your pets! I’m able to make time for the dogs I have watched before. When I care for a pet in a clients home, I usually follow instructions they leave to a T. I also pay attention to the animal and anything they might need! I’m a tidy person as well, and often leave homes better than I found them.

Sarah saved the day after my other dog walker had to cancel last minute. She was willing to take care of him without doing a meet and greet before hand due to it being a last minute request. Very much appreciated!

Megan was so attentive to our pups while we were away on vacation. She kept us informed when one showed signs of an ear infection and even carried our packages in. She was responsive and spent lots of time loving on our pups! Already booking our next trip with her.

It was such a wonderful feeling my family and I had, being able to leave on vacation knowing that our Queenie will be well took care of and loved on while we were gone. Paula arranged a Meet and Greet before we left. Queenie had a new friend from that moment on. The pictures and time Paula took with her was just so refreshing. We would love to continue to use her for Queenie in the future. I have told Ms Paula thank you over and over, but can't say it enough for being awesome.

Mica was amazing with my 3 babies! She sent lots of photos and updates, stayed longer to ensure they all got some extra attention, and left the house spotless and picked up. I could tell my pups were happy and well cared for the entire time. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in such good hands—highly recommend Mica and will definitely book again!

About: I'll never work a day in my life while I'm pet sitting. As a certified pharmacy technician, I am confident I can apply or administer medicine to animals. I also have personal experience with anxious animals around storms and medical care. I am available every day after 7. Overnight house/pet sitting is where I will serve you best. Your animals will feel safe with me regardless of whose home they sleep at. I try to add mental stimulation as well as physical play to wear them out. I love to cuddle but I understand not all pets do! I won't ever push a pet past their comfort level.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Carl Junction

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Carl Junction on Rover is $13.32 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 111 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Carl Junction. 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 Carl Junction 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 Carl Junction. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
