“Having Lexie check in on our kitty while we were away provided such peace of mind. Lexie is dependable, showing for the drop in appointments consistently and timely. She asked questions and provided a high level of care for our kitty who needs medicine placed in her food. I appreciated her thoughtfulness. I definitely recommend Lexie. This was our first time using Rover and we found the experience easy.”
About: I grew up taking care of all sorts of animals, have my own dog, and have cared for friend’s dogs of all ages and breeds for years. I work a regular weekday schedule and have Fridays off, which gives me extra flexibility for pet care. I’m also available some weekends for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I take an active and attentive approach to pet care and will make sure your pet(s) get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship during each visit. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine closely, while also keeping an eye out for anything unusual. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and my love for animals has not diminished as I’ve grown up. I’ve taken care of senior dogs and tiny puppies alike, and family has always relied on me to care for their animals. I am a teacher on summer break, so I have lots of time to help out! My schedule is generally open and can be modified to accommodate needs. While I don’t offer in-home boarding because I live in an apartment, I will travel to wherever you are and can either stay there if needed or drop in frequently. Whatever works for you!
About: I’ve been a dog/cat lover since as long as I can remember. I’ve always had my own dog growing up and still do, (and a kitty)! I’ve worked at multiple dog and cat boarding/animal facilities. I grew up on a farm and I’m very comfortable with large animals and all types of dogs. Me and animals go together like peas and carrots! I’ll take care of yours pets like they’re my own. I’m currently a stay at home wife with plenty of time on my hands. My husband travels for work so to stay busy and sane, you’ll find me doing fun side gigs, making fun day in the life social media and being outside. My schedule is very flexible and I don’t mind early days or late nights! Whatever it is your pet needs I’ll do just that. I’m happy with special need pets as well. I follow directions well and I would be happy to update you on anything throughout my stay/visit.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a toddle. I was raised on a farm. I am good with any kind of animals. I work 10-6. I can check on them mid day as well. Just let me know their normal schedule and I will try my best to see them! I keep a clean and health environment for me and the pet. I always pick up after myself and the pets. I love dogs and cats.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for 10+ years. I have experience watching pets that need daily medications, high energy animals, and animals that just need some extra cuddles. I treat each pet like they’re my own and am excited to provide care for them (and photos for you!) while you’re away! I currently work full time and my hours are mostly in the morning/early afternoon. I’m available any day after 3pm to give all the snuggles, walks, playtime, and care that your pet needs! I am comfortable giving medications to pets, taking animals for walks as much as needed, and giving ample play time or snuggle time depending on your pets energy levels. I am also capable of crating dogs if needed.
About: Since I was 10 I’ve taken care of the pets in my family. Bunnies, dogs, cats, fish, gerbils and mice. I’ve given baths, taken dogs on runs, cuddled with kittens, played with bunnies. I’ve had to give medication to animals before. I’m quite active (trail runner) and really open to anything. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I work remote from home as a video editor and I get to decide my own schedule and hours everyday. That means I get to prioritize your pet or home first! I’ve grown up with animals all my life - so I suppose at this point it is just second nature to be around them. I make sure not to leave often, especially in the first 48 hours, so that I can help keep your pets relax as you leave. I try to spend a lot of intentional time with them up front so they get to know me and trust me. I once had to walk a dog 5 times between 10pm and 2am because it was nervous, but by the next day we were best friends. It just takes time and patience.
About: I've had my own various pets for numerous years. Also helped sit for friends and family, and using trusted house sitters app (see reviews in pictures). I previously lived with a roommate and we had two dogs and three cats. Therefore I am familiar with multiple pets needs, and structuring routines accordingly. I love being able to meet new animals, each one has their own unique energy and personality! I work remotely so I'm able to adjust my schedule easily and work from your home while hanging out with pets. I also love spending time outside and exercising, and enjoy walking with a furry companion. I am happy to follow whatever rules and routines you have in place to help your pet feel the most comfortable while you are away!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carlton
I rebooked with Lea because of the great experience the first time and this was no different! My cat is having health issues and she went above and beyond giving insight and documenting with pictures while I was gone while also taking care of any messes. I cannot recommend her enough!
Lea is an amazing caretaker who takes the time to understand the individual animals she is watching. She put in extra effort to problem solve calming down my oldest cat when I had to unexpectedly leave my animals for over a month during an emergency. She gave me a comfort level that my cats were being well taken care of which was such a weight off my mind when out of state dealing with an intense situation. I can't express my gratitude enough for everything she did for me and my pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Carlton is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 408 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Carlton. 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 Carlton. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
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.
