“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: 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.

About: Hi! My name is Ava, and I’m so excited to be joining Rover! I am currently a college student studying early childhood education, and am so grateful to have this opportunity to further support my education! I have always had animals in the house growing up, and have personally helped to raise three dogs and two cats! I have experience taking care of senior animals, as well as administering oral medication! I genuinely enjoy taking care of and loving animals, and am looking forward to meeting yours. Thank you so much for considering me! I am currently a full-time student and have a part-time job, but I am fully available on the weekends, as well as nights on week days! I will take care of your pets as if they are my own! I feel that the most important part of pet-sitting is showing them that you care, and that they are not alone! To combat this, I will give them all lots of attention, and make sure to follow any schedules that the pet-parents set out for me!

About: I have plenty of experience of taking care of dogs, cats and other types of animals we call our babies. I have three cats and a turtle of my own at home. Your pets will be loved and watched as if they were my own and more because I know the fears of leaving them alone with someone new. I currently am employed but I am looking to become a full-time sitter or make a transition into the industry working alongside animals. I have a long time dream to open my own shelter one day. I care for your pets as if they were my own babies. Mainly following all your instructions and guidelines, with a little touch of love. I will always provide photos for proof of life and keep updates if necessary.

“Maria was absolutely fantastic! She took care of our two kitties (one diabetic and needing insulin twice a day and the other chronically terrified of strangers). She was in touch regarding clarification on the medicine - which was very much appreciated - and gave us updates throughout her visits including that our little scared cat actually accepted pets from her on the last day (we were shocked and thrilled!). We look forward to using Maria's services again in the future.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. As a kid, we always had at least 3 dogs! As an adult, I adopted my own dog, a miniature daschund, who lived to be 16.5 years old, and I also had a cocker spaniel, who lived to be 12 years old. So I have plenty of experience with elderly dogs. I now have aa 5 year old Labrador retriever. He has so much energy, loves to walk and play in the yard, and would LOVE to meet your furry friend. My days are open to help you with your pet care needs! May days are wide open to help you with your pet care needs! I do daily walks with my own dog and work on training with him whenever I can. And we love to play fetch! I have a fenced yard for the dogs to run and play. I have a baby pool for the hot days, my dog loves water! I also have plenty of toys to play with.

About: I currently have a small dog with diabetes and need to give her insulin every 12 hours. Both of our babies have a health care plan with our veterinarian and all vaccinations are up to date. They both love taking walks in the park and riding in the car. My other dogs previous to these were 15 years old plus. I love dogs and dogs seem to love me too. I have a fenced in back yard and a large house. Our babies normally have run of the entire house. I would love to work in the Humane Society although, I would want to take them all home with me. It also saddens me to see commercials with the neglected animals and the conditions that they are subjected to. I wish that I could save all of the dogs that are neglected. I have taken care of dogs since I was thirteen years old. I have also taken care of friends dogs when they are gone on vacation. I will be retired and will have time to spend with the dogs that I will be caring for.

I work for the University of Michigan and have the ability to work from home with your pets if desired. I have experience with administering medication for your pets if needed, and can take care of any other needs for your home (including plants, etc.). I currently work for University of Michigan and have the ability to work from home if you would like me to provide extra TLC for your pet!

I have two kitties of my own - Banjo and Daisy! I love to snuggle with them and always make sure their litter boxes are cleaned and they are well fed and cared for. This goes for every other pet I watch as well! I tend to other’s pets as I would my own because that’s the kind of person I would want watching over my pets.

About: *Accepting New Clients for Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits. Message me to schedule 😊 Mondays & Tuesdays; most availability! 🐕🐾🏃🏼‍♀️ Hi, my name is Audrey. I love animals and taking care of dogs of all breeds. Also, experience caring for horses/stable cleaning. 🐴 I was previously fostering/training a PAWS With a Cause Puppy for a year, to be a future service dog. Now I have my own puppy; a sweet & active Goldendoodle. I have over 10 years experience in Pet/House Sitting; caring for various animals from horses, dogs, cats, fish.

I grew up helping taking care of our family pets and in adulthood I got my own dog, Golden Retriever named Lola. My Golden was a certified therapy dog, visited people in the nursing home. I am grateful for all the animals I've had the opportunity to take care of over the years and accepting new clients. Also, I like to get to know your dog; their routine and any health concerns they may have. I look forward to hearing from you! -Audrey I am currently working part-time, so I can give your pet lots of attention. Message me for more details, as my schedule is flexible. Thanks!

About: I have a love for all animals, no matter their size! I currently have a Black Lab and a Rottweiler of my own, so I’m experienced with larger breeds and understand the care, attention, and exercise they need. I also have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable following specific instructions, administering basic medications, and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and secure. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is loved and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, which allows me to be available for morning visits before work, evening visits after work, and flexible availability on weekends. I’m committed to being reliable and making sure each pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. In my client’s home, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know I could never replace you, but I can be the next best thing! Whether that means breakfast served exactly on time, long walks, playtime, litter box duty, or giving endless belly rubs and head scratches, I’m happy to do it all. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, because I know being away from your furry family member can be hard!

About: I have always had a love for dogs. From a young age I was responsible for taking care of my family's dog Sasha. Sasha was a very hyper miniature schnauzer mixed with a jack russell terror. I am currently a undergraduate college student and cannot afford to have a dog at this time but I would love to have my own. I provide dog sitting services in your home. I can perform baths and facilitate playtime and exercise. I will take care of your dog as if it were my own. Throughout this job I can enjoy dogs that will bond with me as well as gain experience. I would love the opportunity to care for and connect with your furry friend when you're away!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Carleton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Carleton is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $21 per visit. 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.

As of November 2026, there are 2,708 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Carleton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
