“Erica was WONDERFUL! She responded promptly to our last minute request for a drop-in visit for our pup, Olive. Erica sent us updates about the visit with photos! We hope to use Erica’s services again in the future. I submit my highest recommendation”
“Absolutely wonderful person ! And so thankful she gave my dog a wonderful time ! My dog loved her doggies and she took her to a baseball game! My dog was so tuckered out by the end. Great and such a trust worthy person to leave your dogs with 10000/10 I will be booking with her again!”
“Michelle is amazing! This was the first time we booked her to spend two weeks with our boys. She left us really awesome narratives of her visits that made us feel close to our boys. Our kitties received lots of love and the pictures looked like they had tons of attention and love. She communicated closely with us for any issues, and was a life savior when she informed us of signage in our complex about maintenance we were unaware of. Her informative text allowed us to make arrangements so that our car wouldn't be towed. I highly recommend her services, and my partner and I will for sure be using her services again.”
About: Being raised on a small farm, there have always been cats & dogs around to share in the ups & downs of life. I love leaning into each individual's personality and working with positive reenforcement to catch the animals doing good behavior! I have experience training/working with dogs of all ages. Sometimes our furry friends need extra care. I am experienced in oral medicine administration, wound care, ear & eye treatments (if need be)! I am available for pet care on a daily basis. I care for my cats & dog daily. If ever I need backup support, I have a network of folks willing to lend a hand. When pet sitting, I follow the instructions given by the owner regarding when to feed, how much food, how often they need to go outside. Beyond that, I typically tidy up the space every evening, sweeping/vacuuming, refreshing waters, etc. I try to develop a routine so that the animals know what to expect and can relax into a sense of order. I generally find ways that each animal likes to play and find games that are fun and rewarding.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have three dogs. I am very active and can take your dog for a walk or run. I can also train your dog to do simple commands (sit, stay, lay down, come) - extra fee. I take walks/runs everyday (morning, afternoon, or night). I would be happy to take your pet on a walk with me. I can do short or long walks with your dog. I am willing to walk or run your dog on leash to get the exercise they need on a weekly or daily basis ! !
“Maleny is incredible! She watched my 7 year old cat over the holidays and every day she sent detailed reports and took over 10 photos every visit! Above and beyond! We are so grateful for her watching our usually anxious boy but even our boy fell in love with her. She sat with him every day and met him where he was which made all the difference for our cat. Her photos show he was happy to see her and approached her so I know she is incredibly kind and gentle or else he wouldn’t have bothered coming up to her for pets. As long as Maleny is available, she is always welcome to look after our cat- we will always seek her first for anymore travels we have!”
“Talon was a thorough pet sitter. She was detailed in ensuring the hygiene, activity, food/drink, and med needs of eat dog and cat. In addition to other additional pet care instructions, she kept me updated of the pets’ health status and that their needs were being met. She asked questions when she didn’t know something clearly and ensured my home was safe and secure. Thank you for the Meet and Greet and for the excellent care!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for friends and family for years. All different kinds of dogs and cats of different ages. Whether staying for long periods of time or just dropping in. I’m happy to spend time with pets, take dogs out for walks, bring my laser pointer for cats, etc. I am currently working remotely full time, 8-5. I can stop by before, after, and during my lunch for a good amount of time. I could make sure they’re checked on every 4-6 hours if I can’t be with them all day. I think it’s important to keep pets in a space they’re comfortable in and not change routine so much. I try to take extensive notes on what their day to day life is like. When they eat, where they sleep, walk times and lengths, etc.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have been a Rover sitter for the past two years.

If your pets need companionship during the day, I have the ability to work remotely to make sure they are not left alone. I have a car and am available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. I just ask for at least one week's notice so I can plan accordingly and give your pets the time and attention they deserve.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,512 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
