“Rachel is amazing! Maybe a "cat whisperer?!" First time leaving my dog for more than 1 night. I loved the pics I got more than I expected! It eased my mind, so I could concentrate on my work trip duties. She gave great care & love to my 2 cats and 1 dog. Highly recommend! Good job, I will use again!”
About: Experienced Pet Lover — From Small Animals to XXL Dogs 🐾 I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, and taking care of pets has always been a big part of my life. I raised my Great Dane from a puppy and have a huge heart for big dogs, puppies, and animals of all sizes. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own Great Dane, bunny rabbit, and cat, as well as pet-sat for other dogs and cats. I was also raised in a household with Siberian Huskies, so I’ve been around dogs and animals from a young age. I enjoy building a bond with every pet I care for and have experience with basic training as well. I taught my Great Dane commands such as sit, stay, spin, and shake. I also litter-box trained my bunny and taught my cat to sit for a treat. I’m comfortable caring for everything from small animals to XXL dogs, and I’m also open to caring for reptiles and other pets. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a gentle giant, a curious cat, or a smaller animal that needs extra attention, I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and love I give my own pets. Your pets are family, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶🐱🐰🦎❤️ I currently work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special care or attention your pet may need. There is always someone home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I don’t currently have any pets of my own after losing my dog last October, and I’m looking forward to being able to share that love and companionship with other people’s pets. I’m also available for early morning and evening walks, as well as flexible care throughout the week. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I’m happy to care for pets in my home or in my client’s home, depending on the service needed. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I’m happy to take dogs out on a leash for regular potty breaks and walks. I also have space for a crate if your dog prefers having their own quiet space to relax. There are currently no pets in my home, so your pet can have my full attention and won’t have to worry about sharing their space with other animals.
About: I have had pets for my whole life, whether that be hamsters, fish, dogs, cats, bunnies, and even wildlife who need extra support to get back into their habitat. I have tons of experience with different kinds of dogs. I have had my dogs since they were puppies all the way to the end of their lives, which gives me knowledge about each of the stages of pet’s lives. I also have volunteered at a dog shelter for 6+ years, so I have experience working with reactive dogs to dogs who are extremely timid and shy. I can guarantee that I have seen all kinds of personalities between all kinds of animals. I also have worked with cats at the shelter, which also gives me insight on the way cats can be which could range from very sassy (like my cat Benny lol!), to the sweetest cats. Along with those experiences with different personalities, I have lots of experiences with injured animals and have had exposure to treating wounds/minor injuries in animals. I have had to learn how to treat my dog’s diabetes since she was recently diagnosed, and have accommodated my lifestyle to fit her needs as a diabetic. I also have learned how to manage an obese dog’s weight into a healthier weight. Overall, I have grown up surrounded by animals and have seen an abundance of different situations within different kinds of animals!! I currently attend a university in the Des Moines metro and will be commuting from my home to school. This ensures that I have time to go back and forth between my house and school, which will allow me to make frequent trips to check on the pet. I also live with my parents who work from home, so there will always be someone watching the pet and ensuring that everything is going well. I get off from school around noon every day, so that will allow me to go back home and spend the rest of the afternoon with the pet and pay full attention towards them!! In my home, I am responsible for feeding, bathing, cleaning after, and spending time with all of my pets. I have learned how to trim nails, properly bathe a pet, treat one of my dogs that has diabetes, and clean wounds when a pet gets injured. I have been able to experience many situations with pets and stay calm during an accident. I am willing to do anything to accommodate any pet because they deserve to have a life of luxury, just like us! I am also committed to ensuring that any client who has special accommodations for their pets gets those wishes granted and will do everything in my power to make sure the pet has a great time with me!!
“Have really appreciated working with Megan. She’s been really great with my puppy and provides me with great details of their time together. I just really appreciate the communication. He’s so young and I worry about him but know he’s been in good hands with Megan!”
About: Hello! My name is Bobby and I have one German Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix named Keoni. Before Keoni, I have cared for dogs of friends and relatives' while they are away. Over the years of taking care of dogs, I realized I have a knack for interacting with them. I love spending time with all types of dogs, even the most energetic ones! As a herding dog owner myself, I know how important it is to get their energy out, so your home is not completely destroyed! Keoni and I have joined a frisbee league with one another and enjoy staying active ourselves throughout the week. I will take your dogs on runs, play fetch with them, or engage in whatever activity they are interested in. My full-time job is Hybrid, and work both in an office and at home. My schedule can vary throughout the week with meetings, where I will have to travel to, however with enough notice, my schedule can be very flexible if a pet needs additional attention. I currently live in a one bedroom apartment but will have plenty of room to care for an extra dog. At my apartment complex, there is a dog park area provided for tenants that I am able to bring dogs to for exercise.
About: Dogs have always been in my life. I volunteered at Animal Lifeline for 8 years and had a dog daycare of my own for a while. Dogs are everything and I’d be honored to love on yours. I currently work full time from home so doggie day care is definitely doable! My day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends have potential as well with pre-arranged time and notice. Should your dog(s) stay with me during the day, I have a fenced yard and no carpet in case of oopsies! If you request that I come to your house I am very reliable, responsible and respectful. I can guarantee a boat load of scritches and belly rubs as well as time for “business”.
“Jessica was fantastic! She really listened to our concerns beforehand and took everything we said into account. She gave us detailed reviews for each visit and was friendly to both us and our pets. We will absolutely be hiring her for petsitting again!”
“William is a wonderful and very friendly pet sitter. He came to visit prior to the job and do a meet and greet. I was impressed with all his zoo background work and you can tell he loves animals. My cats were happy and he sent me a picture to update how they were doing. He followed instructions, and was prompt. I will be using his services again for sure. Highly recommend.”
“Natalie is amazing with my dog! She’s been so patient with him, considering he’s a very shy dog around new people. She’s been easy to work with, and quickly communicates with me about scheduling.”
About: With a lifelong ownership of dogs and cats, my experience expanded into rescue fostering in 2021. During this time, I have successfully handled pets that deal with separation anxiety, reactivity, handicaps, and limited obedience/cooperation. I am genuinely excited to learn more about your pet(s), their specific care requirements, and their quirks. I’d love to have responsibility of being your trusted caretaker while you’re away! I am currently working fully remote so am able to do all activities through the weekdays, and have flexible hours on weekends. I’m available to accommodate your schedule to the best of my ability. My home is pet-free, ensuring a comfortable environment for your pet(s), especially if they don’t get along well with other animals. Drawing from my experience with reactive dogs, I am experienced in implementing safety measures during outdoor walks or encounters with other animals.
“Jaden took wonderful care of our 10-year-old cat! She was reliable, on time, and sent daily photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I’d definitely ask her to help again the next time I travel.”
About: I’ve worked with dogs since an early age. I love and care for them deeply. They are extensions of myself and are the reason I come home everyday. I’m a full time worker but that wont stop me from taking care of your animals needs. I am available most days. I can be flexible. My job is to satisfy the needs of you the customer. I work tirelessly to ensure your pets happiness. This is what matters the most.
“Our cat, Ralphie, was very happy with his visits from Sierra! He got lots of playtime and plenty of cuddles while we were away from home. Sierra is kind, considerate and excellent at communication.”
About: I’ve owned at minimum one dog my entire life. Currently don’t have a dog in my household, would love to host yours. They’ll receive many walks, a fenced in yard, and lots of love. I work from home twice a week and I’m never gone from home for more than 4-5 hours at a time each day. I have a flexible schedule that will allow me to provide your dog ample attention. I have a fairly large, secluded, fenced in yard that will allow your dog to spend time outside if that’s what they desire. I regularly go on multiple walks a day and will absolutely bring your pup with. Animals are welcome on all furniture in the house
About: I’ve had dogs for over 15 years and currently have a very friendly golden retriever named Georges (after Georges Niang) who loves to play and a 10 month old kitty who I love more than anything. I’ve cared for puppies and for senior dogs with problems such as blindness and arthritis and diabetes. I’m able to give them any medication required. I am a student athlete here at The University of Montana playing basketball. I will care for cats, dogs or any other animals you might have. I’m able to give your dog all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended for long! Just tell me about their usual day and we’ll make it happen! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member, and I’ll love them like they’re my own! I’m on the University of Montana Women’s basketball team and would love to work around my schedule to help out with your fur babies! In the Missoula areas! Growing up I have always had rescue animals in my home. I will take the same care if not better care of your animals because I know how hard it can be to trust someone to watch after your animals!
About: I was involved in my school with JROTC, JMG, and Tennis. I love all types of animals big or small and I will also take care of any scaly and or slimy family members as well. I am currently working at Prairie Meadows Race Track and Casino as a security officer for the race horses. Animals are not pets they are Family members and my job and goal is to make sure every one of your family members is taken care of and I will treat them as if they are my own. I have two cats and two chinchills; Elly, Miso, Theseus, and Toronto. I hope you trust me to walk your dog, or dog and cat sit while you take a well deserved vacation. I can work any time any day before 1pm Saturday to Thursday and all day Friday! I currently work in Altoona for my full time job but depening on where you live my availability won't matter so feel free to reach out. If you (my future client) wants me to take your furry baby out for the day I can certainly do that! I drive a Kia Soul so I can comfortably fit 2-3 large dogs in my car and my current apartment complex has a large dog park the size of a tennis court and if there's a dog another resident or I bring in that isn't dog friendly we can put up a barrier so they can't see each other. Or if you would rather I bring your baby to your local park I will gladly do that as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Carlisle is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $22 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 997 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Carlisle. 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 Carlisle. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
