“Rilee was nothing short of exceptional in the care she gave our elderly cat. Rilee was kind and warm, easy to talk to, and truly cared. Our cat has a complex medication regimen that includes oral medication twice a day. Rilee handled this with confidence and was able to put our cat at ease and get all of his medications in. We highly recommend her!”
“Liv was great, all of her visits with our cat George were on time and well documented. She always left a note after every stop in and took plenty of pictures. We’d be very happy to have her back in the future and would recommend her highly.”
“Sawyer was great- able to jump in for a short notice trip and did a great job communicating about how the visits with our cat were going. We were very appreciative and would definitely recommend!”
“Booked super last minute due to unexpected emergency, and she was AMAZING! Went above and beyond to take care of my little babies, cannot recommend enough. So communicative and took such great care of them (even though they’re so shy)”
“Tom once again did a great job with Pumba and gave her medicine exactly as instructed. Full confidence in Tom with her and appreciate his quick responses and effective communication. Thank you Tom!”
About: I’ve had dogs for 25 years and will treat your dog like my own. I will accommodate requests as much as possible for your family. https://www.rover.com/sit/micheb79651 I am available for drop in visits for walks, can fix any special food if needed and give oral medication. Every visit will include time to sit and visit. I will always walk dogs on leash and take extra time to care for your dog like my own. I can crate if needed for your dog.
About: I have owned or cared for 4 legged friends for most of my life. Family and friends have had me care for their pets since I was about 12, but owning my own really made me love them. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, but I have a special place in my heart for larger breed dogs and orange cats. I would love to help reinforce your dogs training, encourage socialization and exercise in settings that are safe and dog friendly, and I am passionate that animals are part of a family. I am comfortable feeding both dogs and cats, and have experience medicating both. I'm a stay at home mom with a kiddo who is in elementary school, so my schedule tends to be flexible depending on the day and school schedules. Please be aware that if a visit or walk is scheduled on a day that there is no school, (such as a holiday or vacation), or a time that school is not in session (half days, weekends, or after school hours) my daughter may join me. I love going for walks and exploring new areas, but can also happily cuddle a furry friend. I am able to feed, pick up after, and care for animals with confidence. I am comfortable taking instruction and will do my absolute best to make sure that you are happy with my visit with your furry family member. I don't worry about bigger dogs, they're just more to love! Meeting a new dog prior to the first visit is a requirement for my services.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, it has always been a pleasure watching pets for my friends and family and I have two of my own, an Alaskan Malamute and a mixed rescue. I like to bring them out to nature to sniff new places and fun activities. I’ve also volunteered as a foster for the MSPCA, including for puppy litters. After adopting Raven, I completed the MSPCA’s shy dog training to support her as a fearful dog and she has done amazing progress. I have been pet sitting and boarding for years, some of them along my own dogs as I put some pictures below. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and behaviors, including the ones that need extra patience and reassurance. I understand that every dog has their own routine and comfort level, and my goal is to get to know them individually to make walks and drop-in visits a safe, positive experience! I work regular business hours usually, but my schedule varies and allows for flexibility throughout the week, especially when planning ahead, my partner also supports our dogs at home. I do my best effort to accommodate different schedules and individual needs. I value clear communication regarding what usually works for your pup, as we know it’s out of the pet’s routine to have someone else tend to them and I want it to be a comfortable and safe experience. I always pay attention to body language, their boundaries and surroundings to create a safe and positive experience. My own dogs are crate-trained and I am comfortable handling multiple dogs on a leash. I follow their established routines and provide owners with many updates as I would like someone handling my pups to do.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly love caring for them. I have experience looking after dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I’m committed to making your pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I am committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs they may have. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I treat every pet like family and make it a priority to keep owners updated with messages and photos, so they can feel confident knowing their furry baby is receiving the attention and care they deserve.
“Catherine was wonderful to my kitties and a joy to work with. She’s reliable and resourceful even when my locks were finicky. She went above and beyond to care for my long haired cats, and I am so grateful to her.”
About: Please read my availability before booking :) Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with both dogs and cats, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with them. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers for years, and I truly enjoy caring for animals like they’re my own. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, walks, or just keeping your pets company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. You can trust that I’ll provide the best care possible and treat your furry family members with the same attention and affection I’d give my own. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I currently work in a medical office Tuesday-Friday 7:30am-5pm. Though I am able to house sit these days, I am unable to let them out during the day while I am at work. Saturday-Monday I am free to give all my attention to your pets! I am very energetic, just like your pups. I love to walk with or without a dog. If I am pet sitting, I am very good at sticking to directions so I can care for your animals exactly how you want them to be cared for while throwing in a couple extra play times!
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have three of my own, all different breeds, sizes, and ages. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from newborn puppies to seniors, including helping with the birthing process and caring for litters. My family and I have also fostered many puppies and rescue dogs through Great Dog Rescue New England. I’m a recent college graduate with a hybrid work schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for recurring bookings, overnights, drop-ins, and extended pet sitting. I’ll care for every pet like they’re one of my own!!! I work a hybrid schedule in Boston and live in Medford. This gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for traveling to your pups and staying with them! I’m available for recurring bookings, drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with you to fit your pet’s normal routine! That's most important! I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, breeds, sizes, and needs, and will always treat your pets like my own!
“Eden is awesome, she was great with Lily, our cat and I felt totally at ease being away from home with her check-ins. I loved the updates and the photos she provided-she was incredibly reliable with her visits and just great to book with. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter, your pet is in great hands!!”
About: I’ve been in the animal care field since 2022 and have done a little bit of just about everything! Food and Supply sales, assistant grooming, dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. In addition, I'm currently pursuing my associate's degree in animal care and have a wonderful 1-year-old lab/pitbull mix named Judy! I’m currently working part time as a dog walker, so my availability will be weekdays after 4PM until 10PM, and 8AM to 6PM on weekends (weekend sittings are available for full days on Sat/Sun) My yard unfortunately isn’t fenced in, so I always make sure my dogs are leashed and are wearing their collars with AirTags just in case. I don’t board dogs at my house due to the yard having no fence. When walking other dogs I always double clip their leash to their harness and collar.
About: I personally love animals and I’ve been taking care of pets since I was around 10-11 years old. I have the most experience with cats and rabbits and fish as I’ve owned a lot of them. Although I’ve never owned one I am well experienced with dogs too as I volunteered at an adoption center and have taken care of my friends dogs many times. I have also worked with birds, hamsters, gerbils, snakes, turtles, frogs, lizards, and farm animals. I am an 19 year old college student and I’m really excited for this opportunity to make some extra money doing what I love. I’m currently working part time and I only go to school 2 days a week, leaving me with plenty of time to take care of your pet. Currently I don’t own any pets, but I have in the past. Im available for overnights on weekends. On weekdays I will most likely be available on afternoons and evenings. The house I’m living in is really spacious and it’s in a compound so there is plenty of space for them to roam around in a large, clean house. For dogs or other outdoor pets there is a large yard out in the back, however it is shared with the compound so it is not fenced. The area/compound itself is really nice, modern, and quiet. It’s a great space to take a walk, especially as the weather cools down. If you need any other information, I can share my contact info and provide pictures of the environment.
“Xiaoxue was great with our two dogs. She came to meet them and was very thorough on learning what they needed. The pictures and rover card were great to get. Highly recommend!”
“Roxanne came and checked in on my cat everyday for 2 weeks. I got pictures and videos and felt so happy knowing my baby was being well taken care of. Usually my cat has separation anxiety but when I came back she seemed so happy and healthy!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Carlisle is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carlisle
Luanne and Allan went above and beyond in caring for my curious little cat. This was my first time leaving my cat behind for 4 days. She did great under Luanne and Allan's supervision. They kept her stress-free and us too. Now I know my cat has found two trustworthy friends for life.
She was amazing with my babies! One of my cats are really old, blind and on medication. She made sure he had his meds on time, ate his food and was comfortable. My second one is much younger and she played with her and sent me videos and pictures of them while we were gone! I definitely will be booking with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Carlisle is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $37 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 10,744 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:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
