“Karin was absolutely amazing! She opened her home up to my puppy Bentley! She gave exceptional care to him. She went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable! She gave updates throughout the days she kept him and he even interacted with her dog. I give her 12/10 stars. She was absolutely wonderful and trustworthy with my baby boy!”
“Julia and her husband were great with my dog. Even though my pup had a hard time for a bit, (anxious that I left) they calmed her down with a walk and made sure she got comfortable. My dog enjoyed playing with theirs, I am thankful that they took good care of her while we were away on thanksgiving weekend.”
“Lady always loves staying with Catherine! She takes such good care of my pup (somehow she even convinces my dog to eat while I'm out of town...nobody else can do that!).”
“Kristin took phenomenal care of our 2 dogs. They were absolutely spoiled and we got picture updates every day. I could tell they were loved on and were in great spirits when I picked them up. Will absolutely book with her again!”
“Chris and his family were awesome! Chris communicated very well during the booking process and gave updates during Max’s stay. Max had a great time especially with the kids and came home tired from all the fun. Thanks Chris!”
“Kimberly is great! She is very quick at responding and giving updates (including photos). We noticed our dog came back very comfortable and relaxed. We are already booking again! Thank you very much Kimberly!”
“Lisa was great! I took my dog over to meet Lisa, her kids and dog prior to him staying there for an upcoming weekend. Meeting went great! She answered all questions about the process as this was my first time using Rover. My little dog was happy running around with her dog and kids. He stayed for a weekend and it went great. She was quick to respond to all communications. I would definitely recommend Lisa!!”
“Sheila and Jeff were great with our pup! They asked lots of great questions before our dog's stay to ensure she would be comfortable. They took awesome care of our dog, and sent lots of photos. They have a very nice and secure fenced in yard, and their two dogs are very sweet and playful. We will definitely use them for future stays!”
“Amanda took such great care of our new puppy Bailey and kept us updated with how she was doing while we were gone. She really set our minds at ease that all was well while we were away.”
“Very nice in person. Very responsive when texting. Also has a big fenced in back yard. She took very good care of my dog. I definitely recommend and will be using her again in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and experience providing care for others. I understand the importance of building trust, following routines, and paying close attention to individual needs. My background caring for adults with developmental disabilities has strengthened my ability to be responsible, observant, and compassionate—qualities that are just as important when caring for pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their personality, preferences, and comfort level. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm environment, I adapt my care to meet their needs. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications when needed, and providing extra attention to puppies, senior pets, or pets that may be anxious while their owners are away. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for throughout their stay. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I have experience providing dependable care for others and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to individual needs. I enjoy spending time with animals and am comfortable incorporating feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, and companionship into my day. I believe pets thrive when they have structure, exercise, and plenty of affection, and I take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my client's home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, exercise, medications, and any special care needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while ensuring pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for. If providing care in my home, I create a safe, pet-friendly environment with regular feeding schedules, exercise, supervised play, fresh water, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to each pet's personality and needs to help them feel comfortable and reduce any stress from being away from home.
“Karen and Paul were amazing ..They took wonderful care of Bella and were very flexible .. Bella got along very well with them and their dog, Rudy :) I would definitely recommend Karen as a Pet Sitter and would give a five star rating :)”
About: I am an Army National Guard veteran who was raised on a sheep farm and has provided care and enrichment for a variety of animals throughout my life, from hamsters all the way up to farm animals. I have had multiple jobs in animal care, acquired a bachelor’s degree that required multiple animal-related care internships, and have personally cared for many family pets in their own homes. I'M OFFICIALLY FULL-TIME IN PERSONAL PET CARE ☺️ If a pet parent is flexible with their schedule I can fit it around my other clients! Especially for walks or drop ins. I'm going full-time on pet care for a little while I am content to go for long walks or trips to a dog park, or just lounge around the house with the occasional trip outside all depending on what your pet prefers. I will follow all instructions on their meals and any meds they may have.
“Patricia and her boyfriend take such good care of my little guy. He always loves going over and visiting their dogs. They take him on several walks each day and send lots of photos and video. I know he’s in good hands when I leave him with Patricia.”
“Alysia was great with Amos! She was thoughtful about how she introduced him to her dogs and allowed me to hang around for a little while while she did so. She commented well and sent updates. Amos seemed happy and comfortable with her in her home. I would be glad to have her keep him again!”
“Bethany was wonderful! I knew Archie was in good hands and that he was being well taken care of. All the pictures she sent throughout the week made it clear he was having a great time!”
“Amanda was phenomenal. Fendi seems very happy having stayed with she and her family. She was even able to accommodate an extended stay due to work travel. Grateful for the care.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carlisle
I had an amazing experience with Lillyan! From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. She took the time to get to know my puppy George's personality, routine, and specific needs, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which meant so much and reassured me that my puppy was happy and well cared for. It was obvious that my pup was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and love. When I picked my pup up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a great time. It’s such a relief to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, and I’m so grateful for the care she provided. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Carlisle can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Carlisle home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Carlisle.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Carlisle sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
