“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 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.
“Angela and Ken are simply amazing! They sent adorable pictures of their visits and with all the tail wagging and kisses, I knew that they were the perfect pet sitters for my fur babies! I will most certainly use them again!”
“Lesly was fantastic! She was always prompt, reliable, and very communicative, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our two dogs absolutely loved her and quickly looked forward to their twice-daily walks. We appreciated the updates and could tell our pups were happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Lesly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
“Very friendly with both us and our pets! Took lots of photos, which made us feel secure about how things were going while we were away. Would definitely recommend and request again!”
“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: 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.
“Aurora, was willing to come the night before and meet our pups. They loved her the minute she got here. She did a 30 min drop in visit while at the rv show. She walked them, gave them water and played with them. This is our 1st time with Rover and with Aurora. Everything was great from start to finish! Aurora did a fantastic job and we couldn't be happier! Pups were happy and very content when we got back.”
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 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!
About: I’m one of the only people that could take care of my one friends dog because it was very mean. I stay at peoples house to watch their pets or just stop in throughout the day. I currently work full time, I go before work and then after work. If I’m not staying the night I go again before bed time. If I’m staying I go after work and then either get dinner or make dinner then stay for the night. When I’m taking care of others pets I do as if they are my own. I make sure they are happy, healthy, eating, drinking and doing their business. If something seems off I will inform the client to make sure it is normal for them. I want the clients to feel comfortable and sure their pets are being cared for while they are away.
“Tammi is lovely she took great care of Callie during her visits, filled out the report card and left purposefully feedback and photos too! 10/10. I would not hesitate to rebook when needed. Thanks again Tammi for all your care and being you!”
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’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!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carlisle
Amy was wonderful with my dog! We hired her to drop in and also to take our dog for a short walk and she was great. She arrived on time and was very loving to our old dog. She also snuggled him on the couch, played with him outside and left us a message on how he did. It was great to have someone that would show him all the love when we could not be there.
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!
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.

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.
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.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
