“Wonderful, responsive sitter. We had an excellent experience with Jack and Carrie and will certainly use them in the future. We'd highly recommend them to all of our friends and family who may need a pet sitter. Thanks for taking great care of our dog.”
“Korine was BEYOND amazing with my elderly and sick dog. I wish I could give her a million stars. She gave her all of her many daily medicines and walked her at her own (very slow lol) pace. I felt horrible leaving my girl but Korine kept me very comforted with constant check-in messages, pictures, and videos- it was almost as if I was still at home myself. My dog made a great friend in Korine and loved her company very much. 🥰 I could tell she was extremely and genuinely loved and cared for which put my mind and heart at ease being away from her. Thank you!!!”
“We booked Abby last minute to check on our two dogs and she was absolutely wonderful! She was quick to respond, very professional, and made us feel completely at ease. We really appreciated her reliability and the updates she provided. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, highly recommend and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Carrie goes above and beyond when she does drop in visits for my dogs. One of my dogs is anxious and barks at new people. Carrie comes prepared and expertly handles her. I highly recommend her.”
“So happy I downloaded this app and found Meghan! She did a great job taking care of our kitties and making us feel relaxed and worry free that they were in good hands while on vacation!! She gave very thorough updates and sent lots of pictures. What else can you ask for! ?”
“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.”
“Mallory cared for our herd of 4 kitties, each with their own quirks and needs for a week while we were out of town for 10 days. She was fantastic with them and excellent at communicating with me while I was away. I have no doubt the next opportunity we have for travel we would book her again.”
“Samantha genuinely loves animals and it shows, she uses the ‘dog mom voice’, she gets down at my dog’s level to play, and is so careful about health quirks. I would recommend her to anyone with a pet looking for a sitter!”
About: My dog, who was also my best friend, passed away 2 years ago. I want another dog so badly but I cannot get one at this time because my stepson is afraid of dogs and doesn't like them very much. I don't work until mid-afternoon, so I'd love to hang out with your pups before I go into work. Thank you for giving me the opportunity! I go into work mid-afternoon. I'd love to fill the time before that taking care of other people's pups. I'm available until about 2pm I would certainly ask how the pet owner does things with their pet and what their routine is, and stick with that. Consistency is always best!
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.
“Did an awesome job! Got our Sheltie, who when we’re gone for more than a day, wants nothing more than to sink into depression and do nothing, to go outside and play a little bit. Our menagerie of kitties were in good hands, and she followed directions well. Would definitely use her services again!”
“Rebecca took care of my cats over eight days while I was on vacation. She arrived promptly every day and took great care of them, feeding and cleaning the litter boxes. She sent daily photos and videos showing them at play. I am very happy with Rebecca and highly recommend her. I will use her again whenever I go away for an extended period of time. Thank You, Rebecca.”
About: I have been walking/sitting dogs on Rover for five years. I took a year off during the first year of law school, but am hoping to get back into it now! I have had dogs all my life and miss having a furry friend around my apartment here in Carlisle. I have classes in the morning every day, but I have plenty of time in the afternoons to care for pets. I plan on spending my afternoons walking and hanging out with dogs, and I am willing to give the dogs the time and attention they need. When I walk your dog I’ll care for him or her like they’re my own. I am not just doing this for money, but I really do love animals and spending time with them. I have lived in Columbia for over a year, so I know the city and area well and will keep your furry friend safe.
About: I've had cats as well as more exotic animals as pets. I recently moved to an apartment with a no pet lease, and I really miss the interaction with animals. I thought that providing pet care for others would be enjoyable, but also help other people. In addition to caring for cats and dogs, I have experience with small mammals like chinchillas, reptiles such as snakes, turtles, and lizards as well as amphibians and birds. I typically schedule pet visits in the morning and evening, allowing for playtime, feeding, waste maintenance, and medication administration if needed. I also offer overnight stays and daily check-ins for extended absences. I aim to provide reliable and kind care, ensuring your pet is safe and loved while you're away. I believe that caring for your pet in their home provides the least amount of anxiety for them. I follow all instructions carefully and ensure your pet's routine stays consistent. I provide companionship, feeding, exercise/play, and medication. Regular updates and photos are provided for your peace of mind.
“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.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Carlisle is $20
Pet 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.
Mallory is the best! She takes care of our cats when we are away. We always have peace of mind knowing that they’re getting attention and love when we can’t be there, and we always appreciate the photos and updates on how they’re doing. Highly recommend using Mallory to watch your pets!
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!
Aubrey took excellent care of our 3 cats! She is reliable, responsible, and interacted with the cats during some play time while she was here. Her communication with us was excellent, sending updates and pictures. When we arrived home our cats seemed relaxed and happy. We highly recommend Aubrey to tend to the needs of your pets!
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 Pet Sitting in Carlisle on Rover is $16.65 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,152 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.
