“Peter was great and I would definitely book with him again. He was very thorough, prompt, and followed all of my instructions exactly. I really appreciated the detailed notes he left after each visit, and it was clear from his updates that he took his time and genuinely interacted with my animals instead of just rushing through the visits. He made me feel comfortable knowing my animals were taken care of, and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and great with pets.”

“Jungmin did an amazing job taking care of Bobo and our home while we were away! She was incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive to Bobo’s needs. She went above and beyond by helping clean and vacuum the apartment and spending extra time making sure Bobo was comfortable and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Bobo was in such good hands. I truly appreciate her kindness and dedication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter. I would definitely book with her again!”

About: I have been around animals for my entire life. My family always had a dog and a cat. At a young age, I began walking our dog and was the main person in my household to play with our cat. As I grew up, my love for animals grew and I started caring for other small animals like hermit crabs, fish, and hamsters as well. I have enjoyed spending time with these animals and caring for them. Over this time I have learned to be patient and let these animals show me who they are. Whether your pet is high energy and needs frequent walks/play or would prefer to lounge around and take in some always welcomed affection, I am more than happy to indulge them.

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.

I carefully follow their routine and any instructions from their owner while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their home. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Julia was extremely quick, responsive and understanding to a last-minute drop in request I had sent out on Christmas Eve. When I was worried I would have no one to watch my Nori over the holidays, Julia came through and was very transparent about what she needed in order to gjve Nori the best care! She was super flexible and sent frequent pictures and updates and let me know whenever she would need some flexibility on her end, which I was happy to accommodate! I will definitely be considering her in the future if I ever need a cat sitter again! :)”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10. I spent my summers on my grandparents farm caring for all animals. I have my own fur babies. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, and playtime to make sure pets get consistent attention throughout the day. I’m organized and flexible, so I’m able to give them the time, care, and companionship they need without feeling rushed. I care for pets as if they’re my own. In my home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and structured routines. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, and bedtime to keep things stress-free. I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and lots of love so your fur baby feels secure and happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve had animals all my life including cats, dogs, and I had a rabbit once. I’ve helped take care of sick dogs and cats, and have taken care of puppies and kittens. I was also apart of my animal club in high school where I got to donate to animal shelters and interacted with animals in that setting. I have a flexible schedule, so pet care can easily be a regular part of my day and week. I really enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to structure my routine around their needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of while their family is away. I care for every pet as if they were my own! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow any feeding, walking, medication, playtime, or bedtime instructions you provide. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and make sure their space stays clean and comfortable. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.

About: I grew up with multiple dogs, so caring for them has always been part of my life. I’ve regularly pet-sat for family members, and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs while they’re on vacation. I know how much pets mean to their families and I’ll give your dog the care, attention, and love I’d want for my own I’m currently taking online, mostly asynchronous grad classes, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care Monday-Friday. My only scheduled class is Tuesdays from 4-5pm. I’m also available on weekends with advance notice, so I can plan ahead and give your pet plenty of time and attention! I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable with me. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions for feedings, walks, potty breaks, and any special care, while making sure their pets get plenty of playtime and attention. I respect their home and send updates and photos so they can feel at ease while they’re away.

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.

I am very grateful for Emnely because she took care of my dog while I was away. She walked him & gave him food. Emnely kept me informed when she picked up my dog and dropped him off. She even took pictures and sent it to me. I highly recommend Emnely. Thank you! Katherine

Pete agreed to check in on our cat, Sandy, and feed her while we were traveling. He went above and beyond by checking in on her not, once, but twice! Sandy ADORES Pete and was thrilled by the (two!) visits. She told us all about it when we got home. Thank you, Pete!!

Christina is AMAZING!!! She’s taken care of my cats a few times now, and every time she’s gone above and beyond, treating my fur babies like her own. They are both anxious cats, but love when Christina visits and plays with them while I’m away. I would recommend her to anyone needing drop-ins and boarding for their pets. 🥰

Melissa was the best care taker for my 3 cats including my elderly one! I was traveling for my daughter’s wedding and this was the first time I didn’t have any available family members to care after my cats. Melissa took great care of them and I didn’t have to worry or stress about if my cats were okay while I was away. I would highly recommend her!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Carlstadt

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Carlstadt is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 27,516 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Carlstadt. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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 Carlstadt. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
