About: After moving from the UK and recently adopting a little pup from 10 weeks who’s now just under a year old, I’ve had lots of experience training, caring for and playing with energetic dogs! With dogs all throughout my childhood including my springer spaniel Meg, I will always look after your pup as if it were my own, tailoring the energy to exactly what they need. I’m available to walk your dog, have a play with them in your home or mine, or just drop in and feed them! I’m able to look after your pup on my days off from work so I can give them full care and attention! My husband also works from home regularly so will have lots of presence and get plenty of walks and plays in the area around you or our place. I am happy to look after your pup however you need for your home - playing in the yard, relaxing in the living room or just out on a walk, I can always be flexible!

About: I’m new to Rover! I’m responsible, attentive and love spending time with animals. I’m very active and enjoy going on walks, so I’d love having a furry companion along with me! I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat them with patience, attention and lots of love. I’m also organized and dependable, so you can count on me to follow your pet’s routine and keep you updated while they’re with me. I work a 9AM-5PM weekday schedule, so I’m most available in the early mornings, evenings and on weekends. I’d especially love to build a few regular walking or pet-sitting routines nearby. My weekends are generally more flexible for longer walks, drop-ins and pet care. I’m very attentive and take pet owners’ instructions seriously. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking and care routine and make sure they’re comfortable and safe. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: Offering dog walking and sitting services! Availability on weekdays M-F day through night (around 10-8 PM). I’ve taken care of my family dogs since I was around 10 years old. I am well versed in the daily needs of caring for and attending to dogs. I am happy to take your dog on a nice walk or just hang out and give some pets and play time. I have been taking care of cats for around 5 years due to taking care of family’s cats and then adopting my own about 3 years ago. I am also well-versed in cat care and daily needs. I will be happy to adjust to your cat’s schedule and personality. I am currently awaiting onboarding for a part time job and have most hours during the weekdays available to come check on or walk your pet. I will make sure to follow directions in terms of safety and care for your pets. That is my upmost concern and I will make sure they are loved like my own.

About: Hi! I’m Jessica, and I’ve spent the last 18 years working hands-on in the pet industry. My career began in the PetSmart Pet Hotel, and since then I’ve managed multiple boarding facilities, worked as an animal control officer, mentored as a dog trainer, and now specialize in pet nutrition. Because of my background, I’m very comfortable with all personalities—especially pups who struggle in busy kennel environments. Over the years, I’ve opened my home to dogs with anxiety, behavioral quirks, medical needs, or those who just need a calmer, more personalized environment. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to small animals and exotics, and I treat every pet like one of my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priorities. If you're looking for a sitter who is experienced, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’m here to help! I currently have the option to work from or bring your furry baby to my pet friendly safe office space. I am a pet nutritionist! I care for pets by treating them as they are one of my own! I will work with you to understand what your individual pet needs to feel safe and comfortable while they stay with me.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, starting with my own dog during my teen years and continuing with my current dog, Jack — a 9‑year‑old German Shepherd/Chow Chow mix. I trained Jack through his puppy stage and still give him daily walks, playtime, and lots of love. Over the years, I’ve also become the go‑to dog caretaker for friends and family. Whether they’re heading out of town or just need someone to stop by for a playdate, I’m always happy to help. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I’m currently in between jobs and have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for dogs. I’m typically available throughout the week during the day for walks, check‑ins, or just spending quality time with your pup. I love filling my days with dog care, so I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. For drop‑in visits, I focus on making your dog feel comfortable and cared for in their own space. I follow your feeding and routine instructions closely, refresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get the playtime or quiet time they prefer. I always take a gentle, reassuring approach so your pup feels safe while you’re away. For dog‑walking services, I make each walk enjoyable and stress‑free. I tailor the pace and route to your dog’s energy level and comfort, keep walks positive and safe, and make sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. After each walk, I ensure they’re settled and content before I leave. My goal with both services is to provide warm, reliable care that keeps your dog happy and gives you peace of mind throughout the day.

About: I am an army veteran that has spent his recent years caring for dogs both of owners and strays and have loved the experience. Pets provide a joy and fulfillment that I can find nowhere else. I believe that pets deserve more than just responsible attention and a loving home, they deserve to be treated with utmost dignity and should also have a learning experience in the process. I have become well versed in training of dogs and would be more than happy to either review or even instill basic training skills. Pets and dogs in particular have become a necessary factor of my own personal happiness. It would be my honor and privilege to be able to provide a special care for a special little friend.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was five years old, and they’ve always been family to me. Over the years, I’ve raised and cared for dogs through every stage of life—from playful puppies to beloved seniors. As I got older, I naturally became the one fully responsible for their day-to-day care, including walks, feeding, playtime, vet visits, and giving extra love and patience as they aged. My dogs lived long, happy lives, and I truly believe that’s because of the attention and love they received. Caring for animals is what I would like to do full-time, and I’m here to support your pet’s routine with consistency and love. I have open availability throughout the week, including some weekends —whether it’s daily walks, house sitting, or drop-in visits. Your pet will have my full attention, patience, and care whenever you need it. I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where each animal feels secure and seen. I have a bunny and three birds of my own, so I’m very mindful of maintaining a peaceful, clean space that respects each animal’s needs and energy. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, and I know how to read their cues—whether they need extra play, quiet companionship, or patient attention.

About: Hi, I’ve had many dogs my whole entire life even puppies from Yorkshire terrier, miniature Doberman pinscher and Chihuahua. I was also a nanny/caretaker during college so have plenty of caregiving experience with transporting children. I have a small 10 pound Chihuahua. She gets along with any type of breed of dog as long as your dog does not bite. She is super friendly and loves to be around all the pets. I work in finance from home and have all day to pay attention / watch carefully and play with your dog while working and also relaxing. Since my small 10 pound Chihuahua is fairly small I prefer dogs less than 40 pounds if coming to my home. Some exceptions for a little bit over 40 lb. My dog does not bite or bark and loves to play all day with other dogs . If I come to your home I can do any dog greater than 100lb. I have a well-kept apartment with a nice balcony and a dog park located on site in my building complex with a beautiful walkable path and grass area to play.

“Yaneira is great! She watched my kitty Sydney for over a week and did exactly what I asked for and more! I truly felt comfortable being on vacation knowing that Sydney was in Yaneira's hands. She is professional and loves animals, which was easy to tell from when she met Sydney. I will definitely be using Yaneira again the next time I need to go out of town. She is very responsible and committed :)”

We had such a wonderful experience with Christina! 🥰 She was so sweet, reliable, and attentive with our puppy Chloe, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Chloe absolutely loved spending time with her, and Christina was always great about keeping us updated. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so grateful we found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur baby! 🐶💕

Pete is amazing. I was gone for a business trip last week and Pete came over every morning to watch Oscar and see him off to daycare every day. Oscar was thrilled, as was Sandy, to spend so much time with his best friend. It gave me such peace of mind knowing that Pete was taking care of Oscar, and it was amazing to have one less thing to worry about. I literally cannot put a price on that!! Thank you, Pete!!

We had a great experience with the pet care service for our dog, Cola! Jinghong was very patient and caring with her, especially since Cola is an older dog and needs extra attention. We really appreciated the regular visits, feeding support, walks, and overall communication. It gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of Cola — we truly appreciate it!

Honest feedback here - I was a little hesitant in using Xavier as he was young without too many years of experience, but I was in a bind and my last two sitters flaked - I saw that he was rated as a star sitter though with great reviews, so moved forward here and I am so glad I did. His communication skills are above the charts. He is extremely responsive, communicates very well (seems to truly care about your pets and their needs) and was always great about texting updates and photos - Too boot, he was extremely accommodating as the drive was a bit far, but he knew I was in a bind and took the job without hesitation - Moreover, he was very punctual and came at the times I needed him too. I can't tell you how nice it was to come home after my trip to a home where it was very easy to see my babies were well looked after and taken care of - Lastly, he has very good energy and I felt good leaving my babies in his hands even though was a stranger -

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Carlstadt

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Carlstadt on Rover is $15.54 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 26,399 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Carlstadt. 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 Carlstadt 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 Carlstadt 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 Carlstadt with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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.
