About: I’m a former teacher and love all sorts of animals. I grew up with dogs and we used to have an awesome yellow Labrador named Zoie. When she passed, my heart needed time to heal and we got busy with raising our son and his activities that we didn’t have time to dedicate to training a puppy. Our neighbor recently got a puppy and my son and I have been helping them out with potty breaks while they are unable to get home to let him out, and she mentioned needing to fine someone on Rover when we couldn't help out. So the idea was born, we thought it would help us get our puppy/dog fix and allow us to love on other people’s pets. We could have it all! My husband has a flexible schedule to work with welcoming dogs and ensuring they are able to use get potty breaks while I work outside the home. We don’t have a fenced yard but will gladly take your dog out on a leash to use the bathroom, so they must be able to go while on a leash.
“I can’t say enough good things about Kasie. She has helped our family immensely by visiting Gordie daily while we’re at work. She is completely trustworthy and incredibly understanding when it comes to schedule changes. We liked her instantly when we first met, and Gordie took to her right away. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kasie to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care”
About: My first job was being the neighborhood pet sitter in high school and I instantly fell in love with getting to know and care for so many unique animals. While I’m new to the Rover family, family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors have trusted me with their pet family for over 10 years. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs and aquatics animals. From Turtle to Tabi cat to Great Dane! I have experienced with senior animals, puppy’s and medication administration. I’d love to chat about your pets individual needs to adapt and care for them the best way possible. When I come to run, play, walk or lounge with you pet my time with be spent loving them and making sure they’re comfortable with you’re away. Im also comfortable with taking them to dog parks. I’m a pet parent myself so my day starts and ends with my pup! I’m typically free from 9am-2:30pm before heading to work to walk, run, play or lounge with your pet. Mondays and Tuesdays I have a completely free schedule to work around for your needs. Wed-Sunday I’m free from 9am-2:30pm before heading to work to walk, run, play or lounge with your pet. I am off work between 9-10 (depends on the day) and can come back to continue care. Respecting both your home and your pets boundaries is a huge priority for me. Whatever makes your pet feel comfortable in my care comes first. I’d love to chat about what your daily routine looks like with your pet to make sure they’re best cared for
“Great communication! She was quick to respond to any message or question we had. Very professional and our dog had no issue warming up to her. Would highly recommend! Plan to use her again in the future.”
About: I started pet sitting for friends in 2021 while covid precautions were still in place, and since then I've helped many friends whenever they were heading out of town for a while. I've always had a knack for getting along with cats, dogs, and other animals, even those who are shy or aggressive at first. Your pet's needs are my priority. I will review all of your provided instructions with you so that I may ask questions and make sure we're on the same page. And, if anything ever seems wrong, I'll make sure you know immediately so that you can make informed decisions regarding your pet's care. I believe every pet has a good heart - they just need the right care and attention to let that shine through! I work part time on a pretty flexible schedule, so I can always make time for your animal companions! I specialize in keeping pets comfy and cared for so that you can rest easy on vacation :) I pay close attention to and respect both behavior and body language - this keeps everyone safe, and allows me to inform you right away if something requires your attention.
About: I’ve worked with dogs as a kennel attendant at dog daycares/boarding facility for a total of 4 years. Alongside of that I have spent multiple years dog sitting, from a King Charles Caviler Spaniel to a Cane Corso. I own 3 cats, 2 tabby cats and a tuxedo, and I have a corgi named Daphne! In the past I’ve owned various rodents. Animals are something I’ve loved all my life. I’m currently not working anywhere so my availability is pretty much completely free any day of the week! I’d love to spend my days with your fur baby. Due to my dog at home being reactive with other dogs, I only offer services in my clients home and walks outside! I will play with your furry friends, feed them, let them outside, sit with them, walk them, or whatever other thing they may need!
“Greyson already knew my one cat Ozzy and he was automatically comfortable knowing they were back. My other cat Sweetie hadn't met them before so Greyson was kind enough to come over for a meet and greet before the stay. She mostly hid, only coming out for one far away glance. Despite Sweeties initial trepidation it was so sweet to watch the progress through Greysons notes and pictures of Sweetie getting comfortable with them to the point of being willing to bug them for breakfast.”
About: As a family of animal lovers, we provide a safe, caring, and fun environment for your pets. My 11-year-old and 15-year-old children absolutely love animals and enjoy helping give them attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. We have a large yard where dogs can safely run and play, and we make sure they get regular walks and exercise. Have had experience with animals, including a senior dog all my life. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule (adjust as needed), which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I do not have a fence but will go out with your dog and take it for a walk. My kids look for dogs to pet and play with everywhere. Exercise is something I am trying to do in the summer, let me watch your dog and take them for a walk.
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs since I was a child. Each dog is the best dog and deserves the entire world. I will treat yours as if they are my own. They are precious and incredible creatures that we should cherish. I’ve fostered and cared for dogs from puppies to elderly dogs with significant health issues and loved them all. I work part time so I am flexible and happy to spend time with your creature friends whenever is convenient. Just let me know what times are best and we will work it out. I am happy to follow all house rules and care for your dog in whatever way you would like me to. Walks and playtime are always a joy.
“10/10, awesome communication, pics and videos 3x a day & my dogs loved her. We have a food aggressive black lab and she was fabulous with feeding him/his needs. Will book her again!!!”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life — from puppies to senior dogs who just want a cozy spot and a slow walk. That range of experience means I'm comfortable handling whatever your dog needs, whether that's patient potty training, managing high energy, giving meds on a schedule, or just knowing when an older pup needs extra rest and gentle care. Every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their personality, quirks, and routine so they feel comfortable and cared for the whole time we're together. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority — I treat every pup like my own. I'd love to meet your dog and give them the same love and attention I've given dogs my entire life! I am currently working from home and get to make my own schedule, so I can tailor it to your pet sitting needs! If you need a specific time a few days a week I am happy to accommodate! Drop-In Visits: When I come for a drop-in visit, I stick to your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. That means feeding on schedule, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, and playtime or cuddles depending on what your pet enjoys. I always do a walkthrough to make sure everything's secure before I leave, and I'm happy to send photo or text updates so you know your pet is happy and taken care of. Dog Walking: For walks, I focus on making sure your dog gets safe, enjoyable exercise at a pace that suits them. I pay close attention to leash manners, weather conditions, and any specific instructions you give me (routes to avoid, reactivity to other dogs, etc.). I always bring water and waste bags, and I make sure your dog is safely back inside with fresh water before I head out. In both cases, I treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I'd want for my own — respecting your space, following your instructions closely, and prioritizing your pet's comfort and safety above all else.
“Cindy was kind enough to to schedule a meet and greet before booking. She was able to ask Mr any questions about my dogs and it was nice to meet her in person. I have had 2 visits so far and they dogs seem to really like her. She is quick to respond to messages and has been very flexible with my changing schedule. She sends many picture updates and ensure the dogs have access to fresh water during her visits.”
“Kasey was absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend her. She definitely loves taking care of fur babies and it shows. I can’t even Thank her enough. Will definitely have her care for my babies again. Thank you so much Kasey❤️”
About: Hi! I’m Kayla, a former ICU nurse and current CRNA student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pets behind, so my goal is to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own two cats, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving oral medications, and sticking to your pet’s normal routine. Whether that’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. As a healthcare professional, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always keep communication a priority.

As a full-time graduate student, I plan my schedule carefully and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to.

I always prioritize clear communication and will keep you updated throughout each visit. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I don’t take that lightly. I’ll always respect your home, carefully follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Abby did a great job taking care of our two dogs, Milo and Lila, on the day of our wedding. We needed someone to drop in on them to let them outside and feed them, and she provided us with text updates for each of her visits which took the weight of worrying about them off our shoulders. We would 100% have Abby come watch our babies again.”
About: I have routinely watched my coworkers dogs while they are out of town, I have 3 dogs of my own and if I could I would take in every dog that needed a home, love and a warm spot to sleep. While I understand dogs are a product of their environment, I respectfully ask not to board Pit Bull terrier mix or Rottweiler breeds. Thank you. My pets have been treated with flea and tick prevention medication. I work Monday thru Wednesday and usually am home by 2. My boyfriend will stop by at lunch and let my 3 dogs out to potty. On my days off I am usually home. I have a fenced yard and 3 dogs of my home who are friendly and welcoming to new dogs. They are not crated but I can crate yours if you wish.
“Bobbie was amazing and accommodating with me and my dog Mabel. She was super friendly, calm, and knowledgeable about dogs and specifically pit bulls. I got lots of updates and she was very transparent on what my dog was doing in her care. Definitely will be using Bobbie again!”
“Missi did an excellent job in what turned out to be a difficult situation. One cat needs insulin twice and day and the other escaped the house and hid in the barn. Missi searched for him and ended up putting food outside for him. All ended fine. The escapee was found, both are healthy and in good condition. Thanks, Missi.”

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 Carleton 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 Carleton. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
