“Lynae is the best! When she came to take care of the dogs, we had a couple of packages that had been delivered and one was very heavy and she brought it inside for us. So thankful! And, our dogs love her ❤”
“Colleen was amazing. We were in town for sightseeing and she took our two dogs on 3 walks while we were out and about. She was punctual and very communicative. I would definitely use her again if I’m in the area. I would give her 10 stars if I could! Highly recommend!!!”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs (and many other animals) for as long as I can remember! From small to big, I can do it all! I take care of a variety of different animals on the daily such as, dogs, cats, horses, other livestock, reptiles, etc. so I am very responsible and committed to providing the best care for your pet! I used to train dogs for fun, so I am comfortable and experienced around all types of dogs. I’ve always taken care of other people’s animals for them and I love it, which is why I decided to start Rover. I hope you give me the chance to love and care for your pup! I currently work part time taking care of horses at a barn, so I have plenty of free time to play with and care for your pups 1-3 times a day! With that being said, I’m almost always available. When caring for pets in my clients home, I follow the pets regular routine the best I can with what information the owner provides me. I always make sure they have fresh food and water and stick to their feeding schedule if they have one. I also make sure they have plenty of exercise and playtime and make them feel as comfortable as possible. I follow instructions carefully and I always send updates so the owner can feel confident that their pets are being well cared for.

About: I’ve owned dogs all my life, and for almost the entirety of my adult life I have owned dogs, volunteered at the shelter, picked up strays, and all around just been involved with dogs!

Three of my dogs hang out outside during the day, and one stays inside as she gets picked on occasionally and I don’t risk any issues when I’m not here. Your pets would be crated in the house when I’m gone with plenty of time to run and play and be walked during lunch and after work!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Carlsbad on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 22 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Carlsbad. 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 Carlsbad 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
