About: Hi there, My name is Justice. I live in the Carlisle area and I would love to lend you a hand with caring for your beloved fur baby while you’re away! I have had many pets of my own throughout my life and am experienced enough to care for yours. I work and go to school, while maintaining a very flexible schedule! I live a very active lifestyle and will have no trouble keeping up with your furry friends. I am a very responsible trustworthy and dependable individual who you can absolutely count on to diligently provide your pets with excellent, on time, and compassionate care. I eagerly look forward to meeting yourselves and taking care of your pets and homes while you are away. Currently, I am only working part time which allows me to be fully flexible with my time; I can be available on any given day for the time being. I give all pets and animals as much love and attention as they’re willing to accept. Emergencies are scary and vet bills are even scarier, I prioritize the safety of all walks of life.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! 🐶 I have a dog of my own who can be nervous around people and bark, so I’m experienced with staying calm, keeping control, and making walks safe and enjoyable. I’ve walked both big and little dogs since I was young and absolutely love spending time with them. Dogs bring me so much happiness, and I would love the opportunity to care for your furry friends whenever I can! I’m currently in college at Dickinson. I’m free any weekend. Monday, Tues and Friday from 5-9. Wednesday from 1:30 to 4:15. Lastly, Friday 7am to 4:15 pm. I will do whatever you would like me to do with your dog to make sure you feel your pets are safe! I can put them in a crate, leash them, take them in a yard, etc…

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 5. My brother was very active in the dog community and often took me with him. I took care of his Rotwilliers whenever he vacationed and had several dogs of my own. I have been a dog sitter for friends and family my whole life and have taken care of dogs for my nanny families in the past! I am currently a part-time nanny, but fit in dog care in my off time! I only work two full days a week, Monday and Thursday, so I have plenty of time for my puppy friends! I love to help out other dog parents and want to make dog care my full-time job. When caring for a dog in another home, I can easily follow instructions you leave for me. I can walk the dogs on a leash, take them to dog parks, or play with them in my own yard. If a dog has to come home with me, I have a large home with plenty of yard for them to run and play in. I have small crates at my own home if needed. I have experience with giving dogs medication due to my own senior dogs and my French bulldog who has had allergy issues.

Anna was a wonderful gift to caring for my senior dog. She came over on an additional day, just to learn about all of the complexities involved. She corresponded well with me while I was on the other side of the country. It helped keep my anxiety over my beloved pet way down! Anna is professional and detail oriented, and I would gladly hire her again.

About: I have worked in an animal hospital/boarding kennel for the past 5 years. This environment has allowed me to learn how to properly take care of each animal based on their individual needs and behavior. I have hands-on training as a veterinary assistant and am capable of giving your pet medications if needed! I consider myself to be a well-rounded caretaker and lover of all animals, so please consider reaching out! 🐾💞🐶 I’m currently working full-time but will be looking to accept jobs that work with my off-day schedules! (Normally off Thursdays and weekends). Currently not doing overnight stays I can care for your pets however you would normally while you’re home with them! With working in a boarding kennel, people often tell us what works best with their pets when it comes to caring for them. I can adjust my work to best accommodate to what your pet is most comfortable with!

I needed a lalst minute dog walker for our 5 month old puppy Yogi. Sunil came to the rescue! Sunil offered to come to our house the night before to meet Yogi. When he did there was an instant connection between Sunil and Yogi. Sunil is a dog lover (and whisperer) for sure! My husband and I have never met a nicer young man. This was the first time we left Yogi with a sitter. When I saw how Sunil interacted with Yogi it was such a relief and we felt confident that Yogi was in great hands. It was a very long day for us, we were gone for about 13 hours. When we got home Yogi was happy and was also tired! Sunil gave him a good workout during his walks I think! We HIGHLY recommend him.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, from helping my parents dog sit all breeds and growing up to raising my own cats and dogs. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal care and individual needs. I’m reliable, organized, and intentional with my time. I genuinely care for your pets and will make sure you feel that way too! I’m home for the summer, so I will be available to care for your pets all the time! I plan on going beyond the feeding time and the potty time to ensure your pet feels safe and loved. I love to spend time with animals making them feel loved, and making sure they are safe. Let me know what your pets love to do and I will make sure to do that!

About: I have experience with many types of dogs of all sizes and energy levels! My dog, who is a coonhound mix, gets walked a lot, but is very chill and super friendly with other dogs. I’ve also cared for dogs from an aggressive lab mix, to a 4lb chihuahua. I had a long-term dog sitting job in college where I frequently gave medicine, assembled natural food plates, and exercised multiple dogs with different ages and energy levels. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to tend to your pup! My dog also requires a lot of attention, so I’m used to dogs who need multiple walks a day and lots of cuddle/play time. My dog gets walked at least 4 miles a day, and has constant access to food and water, as he eats pretty intuitively. While he normally just lounges around the apartment while I’m gone, he is crate trained and can he put up if that is what your pup prefers!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I could remember. I’ve taken care of my families, friends, neighbors. I’ve bathed them, fed them, taken them out, and more. I used to work at a dog boarding and doggie day care. I am very flexible and can work around any schedule and pets schedules. I like to make sure pets in my care are comfortable by sticking to a schedule. I have a big yard for my dog to play in. My dog is a big love bug, who just wants to play. Usually I take care of my family’s dogs at their houses which have fenced in areas.

About: I received my Bachelor's Degree in Animal Studies from Wilson College. I was a Kennel Technician at a boarding facility as well as a doggy daycare for a few years. I am currently a Veterinary Assistant at an Animal Clinic. I enjoy taking care of animals and providing the best care. I work full time during the week, but I am available weekends and can provide pet care during the evenings after work depending on location. Depending on the needs of the animal, I will provide the proper care as per the owners request. I like to know specific details to make everyone feel comfortable.

About: Hello! I am home for the summer and looking to spend my time with adorable pets and show them some love! I have been taking care of my two dogs since the 5th grade and I just graduated college. I love going for walks and playing fetch. I’m also content chilling on the couch and watching doggies nap. Most days I don’t have any obligations throughout the whole day and can work my daily tasks and errands around walking or checking on dogs. I always make sure my pets have water available all the time, especially in the summer. My dogs usually go on a leash when they are outside, and I feel most comfortable walking dogs with a leash. My dogs eat at the same time every day and get lots of attention when inside.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, horses and more through pet sitting, dog walking, and volunteering as an Animal Therapy Assistant. I’ve worked with a variety of pets, maintained regular communication with owners, and always make sure animals are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m dependable, organized, and patient, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My experience as a nanny, camp coach, and small business owner has strengthened my responsibility, communication, and ability to handle different situations with confidence. I’ll care for your pet with the same attention and love I would give my own. I’m a college student home for the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I occasionally babysit and pet sit, but I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight care. I also care for my own dog, Lola, every day, so I’m used to maintaining a consistent routine and making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully to help them feel secure while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, meals, and updates so you can have peace of mind. I treat every pet with the same love and care that I give my own dog, Lola.

Very short notice, Elizabeth was able to come to my aid with my 2 dogs. She did everything exactly as she promised, and then some. My one dog was too afraid of her, which is not Elizabeth's fault, it was my woosie dog. She was great and I appreciate what she did for me.

Will was great with our dog! She was a recent rescue and very suspicious of new people. Will gave her some space, was patient and kind and they soon became best buds! We were gone for 10 days and he sent pictures every day - which gave us peace of mind that she was thriving and happy while we were gone. Will is also very dependable and came 2X every day to give her a break and to exercise her (while our dog sitter was at work). I would certainly recommend him and will definitely be calling on him again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Carlisle on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,115 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Carlisle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Carlisle stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Carlisle with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carlisle. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
