About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life and currently live with two! Varying in size, the youngest being bigger than me! I’ve cleaned after, walked and have no issue playing and keeping your sweet babies happy! I do work a full time job but I do have availability for walks and drop in visits! Tuesdays and Thursdays are my usual days of but I am mostly off of work at 3 my other days and don’t mind evening visits! If I make a commitment with you for your pet I will not pick anything up at my full time job! I prefer to care for pets in clients home but am completely respectful of privacy and boundaries in others homes. I can feed and play with them in home and keep an eye on them for duration of visit!
“Sierra is amazing!! She is so sweet and you can tell she loves animals. She agreed to watch our dogs last minute and did a fantastic job with them. One of our dogs had an upset belly while we were away and she was willing to go above and beyond to clean it up for us before we got home. We will absolutely request her again on our upcoming vacations!!”
“Great experience and we truly appreciated Yolena taking care of our 3 cats on such short notice! She gave great updates with photos, which put our mind at ease while we were away. She was extremely kind and followed instructions on the care we needed for each cat, and was very responsive if we had any concerns. Came home to happy cats and the house just as we had left it! Would absolutely recommend this sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs! I grew up with 2 Maltese Shit Zu’s (who are 11 and 14 years old) and now own a 2 year old golden retriever! I can understand that leaving your fur baby with a stranger can be scary, please know your pup is safe in my hands with me! I’m certified in giving the best belly rubs, nose boops, and lovings of all kinds. I’ve been around and handled dogs all my life including chihuahuas, golden retrievers, Maltese shitzu, golden doodles, labradoodle, Brittney spaniel, and bracque francais!

She plays well with ALL dogs and loves making friends!
“Emma was an absolute wonderful pet sitter. Blue seems to have genuinely loved her, and she did such a perfect job checking in on him and making him feel cared for. Will 100% use her again on any future sits I need!”
About: I’m very caring about the animals I watch and I make sure they get the attention they deserve. I love being active with them too. I have to get up early for school so I can go on my way there. Or I can go in the evening after sports. I make sure my pets are fed, let out a lot, and making sure they get a lot of attention. Also, getting lots of treats.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and started pet sitting for neighbors at 12 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, and other small pets. I’ve volunteered walking dogs and caring for cats in animal shelters and am comfortable administering medications and caring for both young and senior pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of dependable care, communication, and maintaining your pet’s routine while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work part-time at a café, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. Outside of work, I prioritize providing attentive care, exercise, enrichment, and companionship to the pets I care for. I communicate regularly with owners and do my best to maintain each pet’s normal routine while they’re away. My priority is always keeping pets safe, comfortable, and maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household rules. During visits, I make sure pets have secure access to appropriate areas, fresh water, and plenty of attention. I provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving excellent care while they are away. I am experienced with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and amphibians, and I adapt my care to each pet’s individual needs and personality.
“Hands down the BEST rover we’ve had. She did an amazing job with checking in that included photos and a synopsis each time she dropped in to check on my dogs. On the last day, she cleaned up by vacuuming and sweeping the floors so we could come home to a clean place. I really appreciate that a lot. Isabel is very responsive and on top of her game when it comes to taking care of dogs. We will definitely be using Isabel again and ONLY Isabel. 5 stars!!!”
“This was my first time hiring a dog sitter for drop-in services, so I was nervous. My dog is typically skittish around new people, but she immediately warmed up to Mana - bringing her all sorts of toys and wanting to sit in her lap. This was a very good sign. Mana completed three visits per day while we were out of town for three days. Her communication about my dog was excellent!! I was notified when she arrived, she sent pictures throughout their time together, and she notified me when she left. The progress reports were completed immediately after each visit. The peace of mind that I had was priceless. I will be keeping her as our long-term sitter and for checks during my long work days. I highly recommend her.”
“This is our second multi-day experience with Grace, who drops in to care for our two adult labradors. Grace is a smart, conscientious care-giver who always goes above and beyond. Our pups love her. We recommend her without hesitation.”
About: I'm a freelance animation writer and dog lover who has had dogs his entire life and enjoys walking and sitting his friend's dogs. Now I'm looking to walk and sit even more dogs to supplement my writing income while also taking advantage of my extremely flexible schedule. I'm very patient, attentive and affectionate with dogs. When I walk, my attention is on the dogs (not my phone) and when I dog sit, I treat your home how I'd like my home to be treated if someone was staying there (i.e. not really wandering around and/or touching stuff, ha) and again, all attention is on the dog. Otherwise, I'll just be writing away on my scripts. I absolutely love dogs and have raise several from puppies. This is also an outlet for me after the passing of a beloved elderly dog that I had since she was a puppy. I'd be happy to take excellent care of your dogs.
About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for dogs in my home and have earned more than 70 five-star Rover reviews without a rating below five stars. Over that time, I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, routines, activity levels, ages, and household needs. Animals have also been part of my own household throughout those years. Our family started with two Yorkshire Terriers, Barkley and Eva, and today their son Mutombo is our resident elder. We also share our home with our cat, Tiger. Living with animals every day has reinforced something I take seriously when caring for someone else’s pet: consistency matters. When your dog stays with me, I want their routine to feel as familiar and predictable as possible. I pay attention to feeding instructions, bathroom habits, activity, rest, temperament, and how each dog adjusts to the environment. I also intentionally look for changes in appetite, energy, mood, sleep, or behavior that might be worth bringing to your attention. I provide home-based boarding and daycare rather than trying to operate like a high-volume kennel. Compatibility matters, especially when multiple dogs are present, so I prefer to get to know each dog before making them part of a regular daycare or boarding group. My goal is simple: provide the kind of attentive, dependable care I would want for my own pets while giving owners confidence that their dog is being noticed—not simply housed. I'll be sure to provide photo updates so you can see how your dog is settling in while you're away. My availability is planned around the dogs I accept rather than simply filling every open date. I provide home-based boarding and daycare and try to keep each day's group manageable and compatible. For daycare, I prefer consistent drop-off and pickup windows so the middle of the day can follow a predictable rhythm of outdoor breaks, activity, enrichment, supervision, and rest. For boarding, I do my best to maintain each dog's normal feeding, bathroom, sleeping, and activity routine whenever practical. If you send me a request, please include your expected drop-off and pickup times so I can confirm that the schedule works well for everyone. I've spent eight years caring for dogs in my home and have earned more than 70 five-star Rover reviews without a rating below five stars. Over that time, I've learned that good care starts with understanding the individual dog rather than assuming every dog will behave the same way in a new environment. Compatibility is important in my home. I pay attention to temperament, interactions with other dogs, comfort around household members, resource guarding, escape tendencies, stress signals, and each dog's ability to settle. I prefer Meet & Greets for new clients so we can discuss your dog's normal behavior and determine whether my home environment is a good fit before committing to regular daycare or an extended boarding stay. I also monitor for changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, mood, sleep, movement, or behavior and will communicate with you if something seems unusual.

I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so my goal is to make sure both you and your pup feel comfortable from the very beginning.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Carlisle choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.
