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: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have had experience owning other pets such as geckos, cats, and snakes. I’ve been a pet sitter for a little over two years. My true passion for pet sitting comes from my desire to be accompanied by them, dogs specifically. I work with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. Dogs of all backgrounds tend to gravitate towards me and I have never had any negative interactions. While studying for my undergrad, I was actually in charge of all the live animal specimens present on the University grounds. Feeding, exercise, and handling/care were done daily, which can explain my comfortability and familiarity with pet care. I currently am home as I finish my masters degree online so my daily schedule is fairly free. I workout and do part-time contract work when I am not doing schoolwork. I’m extremely flexible and will be willing to meet your needs as best as possible. Simply put, I treat the pets like they are my own. I ensure they are met with sufficient attention, exercise, nutrition, and safety while under my supervision. Minimizing stress is my biggest concern (my dog has separation anxiety so I know how it can be). I’ve found it helpful in the past to use my own dog as a bridge between myself and the client’s pet, as his presence tends to build confidence and reassurance.
“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’m a lifelong lover of all animals who has been surrounded by pets for as long as i remember. Growing up and caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and smaller animals has always brought me joy and experience. I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends. I am happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pet receives the attention and exercise they deserve. While I am new to pet sitting professionally, I have grown up around pets and understand the importance of providing a safe, caring, and comfortable environment. I will carefully follow all instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special needs.
“Dava visited my cat while I was away for awhile, and the first night I was back, the cat sat near the door for almost an hour around the time of the visits, presumably waiting for her. Dava kept her fed, watered, and in contact with other life, and sent a variety of photos.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and have taken care of friend’s and family’s pets over the years. I recently lost my elderly soul dog, whose care was my second full-time job. I can administer oral medications, and have a fondness for seniors. Currently, I am working a 9-5 in Carlisle and am off work from the beginning June 6 to the beginning of August, so I am very flexible with when I can see your pet - whether it be during the week or a weekend. I prefer to meet with you and your pet ahead of time so I can start to become a familiar face, and can learn of your pet’s needs and habits.
“Christine was fantastic! She went beyond what I asked of her and took plenty of time to spend with my cats Rose and Stevie. She even managed to get Stevie, who's usually very shy around strangers to come out and get to know her. I'll definately be booking her again when I travel out of town!”
“Taylor took wonderful care of our elder cat this week. She also watered my plants and brought in my mail. She communicated with me every day.. She washed all the cats dishes and left my kitchen spotless. She’s very responsible and I’ll be booking her again.”
About: I have previous experience with pets and have trained and worked with many animals in the past and love to help out with them when I can. I am available during the day when not at school and am available all day during the weekends as I am not working on those days. I have a fenced in yard and have pet-sat many times in my own home and own a dog of my own but have had many and trained many in the past, so I have experience.
About: Experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication reminders, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small pets of all ages and personalities, including energetic puppies and shy pets who need extra patience and comfort. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and bedtime schedules. Clean, safe, and loving environment with access to a dog park for fun walks and exercise. Perfect for pets who enjoy playtime and attention. Pets will always be supervised, cared for closely, and treated like family.
About: I currently have 2 dogs that I love dearly and help to take care of! With both of these being small dogs, I excel in smaller dog care but am open to larger dogs as well! I am currently home for summer break upon until middle of August! I am pretty much open all day to take care of your pets! I am able to hang out with your pets and also feed them and take them outside! I can also put them in their crates as needed!
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.
About: I’ve taken care of and trained my golden doodle Winnie who is currently 7 years old. Winnie is a loving and affectionate dog, who has some reactive and past aggressive behaviors due to her original home. Because of this, I have become very familiar with reactivity in dogs and have worked with her throughout her life with the help of some trainers to tackle these behaviors. With proper communication and transparency, I feel confident working with dogs with difficult behaviors. I also have a 15 year old yorkie, so I understand how to care for our old companions! Over the summer, I am normally done with work around noon and have the afternoons and evenings free. I am also pretty available during the weekend. I am able to be more flexible if discussed in advance! Available to care for pets inside your own home and will walk dogs in neighboring areas. At this time, I do not plan on caring for pets inside my own home.
About: Hi I'm Ceara, a little about me is I have 2 of my own that I treat as if i birthed them. A hyper loving 1 1/2 year old german shepherd labsky, and a beautiful 1year old domestic short haired cat. I have always had a love for animals, i have lots of experience with them throughout the years. I have experience dog walking, dog sitting, kennel care, and more! I promise your furbaby is safe with me! I will always treat your animals like my own, and i'll be sure to give them extra love and care while they are with me. Reach out any time, tell me about your pet and what they like to do! Right now I am in between in jobs due to relocating with my husband here to Pennsylvania since he is in the Navy. Therefore i am just a stay at home fur mom for the time being. I'd love to take your fur baby on long walks, or go to a nearby dog park to have some fun! I usually bring some toys with me to play with on walks!
About: I have 10+ experiences with dogs and cats. I’m currently in school to be a veterinarian assistant. I have walked, bathe, brushed, fed, and have given medication. I am a full time student and a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty much always available and pretty flexible every day Instead of taking the dog out of its comfort zone I would rather stay in the owners home where the pet can feel at ease instead of nervous I always make time to play with every animal, no matter what kind 😊 It's something I've always wanted to do, so my goal is to make them happy and your lives a little easier. I am always present when they are outside, or playing. I will always respect your home if I am doing a drop in visit. I can read body language very quickly so I'm a very quick thinker if a situation occurs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carlisle
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.
Denise was great with our dogs. She went out of her way to make it possible for her to stop by and meet them before her care visit with them and spent good quality time with them while here. I appreciate the time and energy she put into her time with my dogs and the thoroughness of her report.
Mae did an amazing job stopping by to watch our dog Theo! She was reliable, caring, and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated and made sure Theo got plenty of attention and care during her visit. We’d definitely have Mae watch Theo again and recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
Carrie has been absolutely wonderful with my dogs. They’re still adjusting to spending part of the day in their kennels again and can be a little unsure of new people coming into the home, but she’s been incredibly patient, flexible, and reliable throughout the process. I truly appreciate the care and understanding she shows them, and it gives me peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I highly recommend her and already have several more bookings scheduled!
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.
Josie was amazing!! She cared for our pets(2 dogs and a cat) as they were her own! Her communication was excellent, sending us daily photos and texts. Josie even vacuumed before our return home so that our house looked great! I would highly recommend, we will use her again without hesitation!

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.

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.
