Meghan was very sweet to my dog, who can be shy at first. She took great care of him and gave him lots of love, and sent me updates during the stay. I would highly recommend Meghan for anyone who wants to be able to travel with the peace of mind knowing their dog is in good hands.

Amazing experience with Tiffany! She literally saved our week. At the last minute our regular dog sitter was unable to come, so I reached out to Tiffany (based on her previous great reviews). I think she heard the panic in my voice and reassured me that she could help out! She stopped in later that evening for a meet and greet. Totally put my mind at ease. Her visit included mother’s day and she rearranged her time with her family to be able to accomodate us! House looked great when we came home and Lucy very happy. Would highly recommend Tiffany!🐾

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.

Brittany is a gem and we are so grateful we found her. She treats your pets like her own. Dependable, trustworthy and just a nice human. We are so happy we have a sitter for our “not so easy to handle” dog. He loves her and so do we!

Debra did a great job. She sent lots of videos and pictures. Both pups loved her. It’s always tough to be so far away from our 2 dogs, but we had nothing to worry about. She also came to our house before we left on vacation so we could relax and also staying till our follow up sitter came. So we were very happy with her.

About: Hello! I'm Anna, and dogs have been a cherished part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by dogs, I've developed a deep understanding and love for these incredible companions. Friends and family have consistently entrusted me with the care of their pets, knowing that I treat each one as if they were my own. Last year, I rescued my own puppy, Roo, who has brought immense joy and valuable lessons into my life. Through this experience, I've gained firsthand knowledge about the nuances of pet care. I've worked with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs, and I understand the unique needs at each stage of their lives. Handling dogs with reactivity and separation anxiety issues has been part of my journey. I've collaborated with several professional trainers to learn effective techniques for managing these challenges, ensuring that every dog I care for feels secure and happy. My goal is to go above and beyond in providing exceptional care for your beloved pets. I understand how special they are to you, and I'm committed to making sure they receive the best care possible. Whether it's a daily walk or pet sitting while you're away, you can trust that your furry friend is in experienced and loving hands. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine. I take my personal dog, who is incredibly friendly to every dog, on long walks or hikes every day, so adding an additional furry friend to our adventures would be a seamless fit. Despite working part-time, I spend most of my free time at home, playing with and caring for my puppy. This allows me to be flexible and available for multiple pet care visits throughout the day if needed. With a vehicle at my disposal, I can easily drop by your home to ensure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve, whenever required. Caring for Pets in My Home: I live in a cozy apartment, which is a perfect option for smaller pets to stay comfortably. My own dog, Roo, is incredibly friendly and enjoys the company of other pets. Roo can join us on walks, in the home, and even during drop-ins if you’re comfortable with it. If needed, I can also crate your dog to ensure their safety and comfort while in my home. Caring for Pets in Your Home: When I visit your home, I ensure your pet has everything they need for a safe and enjoyable experience. For walks, I provide all necessary tools, including a belt leash that offers several points of contact for added security. If desired, I can work on leash etiquette to help your dog develop better walking habits. During hikes, I keep your dog on a leash at all times and practice safety measures, ensuring they have plenty of water and rest. My goal is to provide a trustworthy and safe environment, whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home. I strive to make each experience positive and enjoyable for your beloved furry friend.

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 really like to meet animals where they are. If they are high energy and love to play then that is what we will be doing. If they are a lounge on the couch kind of dog then I will lay with them. I currently have one dog and I have been able to teach him many tricks like roll and high five! I also have 3 cats who keep me busy but in a good way! I have dog sat before many times but I am excited to meet new animals on Rover. I work full time on the weekdays from 7:45-4. I would also be able to be at your home for a few minutes during my lunch break depending on the location. I have full availability Friday night - Sunday night I always make sure that I am following their routine and doing things the way that you would do them! I will ask any questions if I have them to make sure I am doing everything right. The animals would never be able to escape as I am very careful with doors and I always wrap leashed around my wrist for a second layer of protection

Annalize is a great provider who demonstrates compassionate care for animals. We left three dogs, two cats, two chinchillas in her care for the weekend. One of the dogs is very elderly and needs a lot of hands on care. Annalize brought it, and kept everyone cool, comfy, fed, and happy. I would recommend her highly.

This was our first time using Rover and what a great experience it was. Mallory was able to help us out in a pinch. We needed a sitter for about three days/nights and were easily able to put together a schedule that worked for the both of us. Mallory was so attentive to not only Jesper’s needs, but ours and made us feel nothing but comfortable throughout the entire experience. We received photos and updates several times a day. Will 100% be booking again, couldn’t recommend Mallory enough!

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog, so I understand that they aren't just pets, they're family. Over the years, I've cared for the dogs of friends and family, whether that meant stopping by for walks, staying with them while their owners were away, or making sure they got plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. If I'm being completely honest, my favorite living creature on the planet is my fur niece, Baby. She's absolutely spoiled, and I love every second I get to spend with her. Being around dogs genuinely brings me joy, and I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for them. My goal is simple: to keep your dog's routine as normal as possible and make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, or just curling up on the couch for some company, I'll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your fur baby is in good hands and being cared for like you never left. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pup throughout the day. They'll get lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and, of course, plenty of love. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. I don't take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to care for both your home and your fur baby with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own. I'll follow your pet's routine, respect your house rules, and keep your home clean and secure while you're away. I'll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in loving hands. My hope is that when you return home, your pet has been so well cared for that it feels like you were never gone.

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Carlisle

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Carlisle on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 578 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carlisle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Carlisle walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Carlisle maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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!

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 .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
