About: I’ve taken care of many cats! I have four of my own, so I know that cats can all have different personalities:) I like to keep things clean- from litter boxes to water/food bowls, I will complete anything that you want done while I’m taking care of your fur babes. While I’m mainly a cat sitter, I can walk dogs. I will clean the litter box, change water, feed, and play or brush your pet while there! Let me know when and I’ll check my schedule! I’m usually pretty open with my calendar but may be away depending on the week. I have high standards. I will keep things clean, organized, and better than you left them. I love caring for animals, and want them to receive what they need when you are away. Even if just for a day!

About: I’ve always had a love for cats, no matter the size, age, breed, or personality! My three cats are my world, with one of them even being a registered Emotional Support Animal. I have always cared for animal welfare, having volunteered with pet rescues, and in hospitality sometimes cleaning after animals. Currently, I work in the social work field, and thoroughly understand how much our animals mean to us. I work full-time Monday-Friday, from around 8am-4pm. However, one day a week I do work from home. After I come home around 5pm, I can be as attentive as your kitty requires. In my home, my apartment has 2 bedrooms, so I am able to keep your cat separated from the rest of the place if that puts them at ease. I can offer lots of love and playtime, or just a quiet presence if they prefer! And of course, treats and food how you would like. I have many different litter varieties and water bowls for your pet’s convenience as well. For services in your home, it would largely depend on what you are comfortable with. Let’s chat about it!

About: Hi! I’m Bella Rose. A pre‑vet student and a humane society vet assistant. I’m confident with seniors, meds routines, anxious pups, and detailed observation. You’ll get consistent photo updates and clear notes so you always know how your pet is doing. ✨ Booking perk: If you book 14+ days in advance, I include a complimentary daytime check-in/hangout block (as my schedule allows) at no extra charge. Standard care assumes I may step out for short periods during the day. If your pet cannot be left alone for more than 1–2 hours (medical monitoring, seizures, frequent meals, or severe separation anxiety), please message me, this requires Enhanced/Constant Care pricing. I’m a part time student and vet assistant, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets throughout the week. I’m available for house sitting and drop-ins most weekdays after class/work, and full time availability on weekends. When I’m in your home, I treat it, and your pets, with the same care and respect as my own. I keep routines consistent, give frequent updates, and make sure every animal feels comfortable and secure. I can handle feeding schedules, medication, walks, and bedtime routines exactly as you request.

About: Hi! I'm Julia, a dependable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter who understands that pets are family. I provide loving care for dogs, cats, and other small pets while giving owners peace of mind when they're away. I take the time to get to know each pet's unique personality and routine, whether that means energetic walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, administering medications, or simply providing companionship. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of attention. I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping your home and pets safe and comfortable. I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

I look forward to meeting you and your beloved companions! I am currently retired and want to do something I love- which is caring for animals! My schedule is totally flexible! I volunteer at the animal shelter and would love to care for your pet also! Pets are family members and I treat them with love and kindness and make sure they are not missing their owners too much while they are away. I will do my best to keep you updated and make your pets feel secure and loved in your absence.

About: We have had a dog in our family for the past 25 years and growing up we had dogs, cats, boa constrictors and rabbits (brother was a magician). I have been a member of Trusted House Sitters for 5 years and have house / pet sat multiple sites from Cumberland to Camden in Maine (a favorite vacation place) during that time. I have created a core of 6 clients that reach out annually for help with both cats and dogs. Locally, I help keep our 11-year old rescue, Sandy active and healthy. In the past few years, I have added neighbors who have two cats to my client list. FEEDBACK - Randy is my go-to for all travel plans regarding my pets. He follows all my requests, sends great updates and asks good questions. He leaves the house spotless, too! My dog and cats love him, as well as all my neighbors and their kids! They look forward to seeing Mr. Randy! (Sarah, Brunswick, Maine) FEEDBACK - I have been asked to write a letter of reference for Randy Dick attesting to his capabilities and qualities as a pet/house sitter. Bottom line? Hire him! Randy is a a great guy and is utterly reliable, terrific with our pets, and a very responsible house sitter. He has helped us out many times both for shorter (several days) and longer (several weeks) trips. We have known Randy (and his family) for many years and he is gregarious, fun, responsible, smart and caring – all qualities we enjoy in his family, as well. I am delighted to be able to write this letter of support for Randy. (William, Cumberland, Maine) I am formally retired but do some part-time consulting and writing. I am active and try to have some exercise activity daily. Some travel for conferences that will need to be scheduled around. I always try to visit the home before the owner leaves to understand the environment, routines and pet(s). Appreciate written instructions and knowing vet and neighbor contact information for emergencies or questions. Same routine if pet is coming to my house.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have had a cat & dog of my own for the past 4+ years. I’m very comfortable administering medication, handling special accommodations, and making sure they feel safe and cared for in any situation. My animals have given me plenty of experience with car rides, new spaces, and meeting new people, so I understand how to keep them calm, safe, and happy. Friends and family have relied on me many times to care for their fur babies, and I really do enjoy spending time with them! I work a general 8am-4:30pm, Monday through Friday, but i have 1 & 1/2 days working from home a week. I am willing to work with anyone and be flexible during those work from home days. I can do long walks on my 1 hour lunch break, or work from home at your place if need be! I don’t work on the weekends, so i have plenty of time to do drop ins, take your dog on a couple walks, or just hang out with your fur babies for the day! Again, there are many times where im flexible with holidays, weekends, & some weekdays while im working from home. I’m newer to the indianapolis area, so i have only watched animals for my coworkers thus far. But my dog, Moose (who is 2 1/2), goes on a 30-45 minute walk a day at least, is crated when i’m not home, is given a medication for anxiety every morning via sliced turkey and peanut butter lol, and is taken on at least one car ride a week because he loves them! My cat, Smokey, is very social and playful, although self-sufficient, is very needy, so i have plenty experience with a needy animal. Both Moose and Smokey get along great, and i’ve loved being a mama to the both of them! Both of my babies are very friendly with other animals and are trained well. I have plenty of experience accommodating the needs of different animals and different personalities!

About: I have learned a lot about dog care since adopting my herding pup, he is about as needy and picky as dogs get so I can fit any routine your dog requires. I am a full-time college student and work on campus during the week. I’m looking to make some extra money on the weekends and get some steps in. I can do structured walks to help dogs get as much fulfillment as they need and have no problem standing around waiting for a sniff.

About: I own four rescue dogs, three of which are small and one of which is medium. I am currently fostering a cat and an elderly dog. All of my animals will be in their crates if you book me for boarding. I’m currently free 24/7 so I’ll have plenty of time to entertain your pets. Although come August I will be back in collage and I’ll only be able to mornings and nights. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space to play and currently five small/medium sized dogs that are very friendly for your pet to play with.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I have 12 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, and my mom and I have rescued many stray cats and dogs over the years, along with helping other animals in need, including squirrels, raccoons, and possums. I have always had both a cat and a dog in my life, and caring for animals is something I truly love. I have experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I especially enjoy caring for senior pets. I understand that older animals may need extra patience, medication, mobility assistance, and a little more attention to keep them comfortable. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for in their owner's absence. Whether your dog needs walks, meals, playtime, companionship, or extra help with their daily routine, I will treat them with the same love and attentiveness I give my own animals. I am available for house sitting on weekends and drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends. On weekdays, I am available after 4 p.m., and I have more flexibility on weekends. On the weekends I have open availability. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to maintain their usual routines, so I do my best to follow their regular feeding schedules, walks, medication routines, and other care instructions. Whether you need someone to check in during the day, provide evening care, or stay overnight with your pets on the weekend, I would love to help give you peace of mind knowing they are in experienced and caring hands. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. My years of animal rescue and personal pet-care experience have taught me to be patient, attentive, and mindful of each animal's individual needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow all instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, maintain familiar routines, and ensure pets have access to fresh water, food, and a comfortable environment. I am especially mindful of senior pets and animals who require medication or mobility assistance. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I will treat both with respect and care. I am also happy to send updates and photos during visits or house sitting so you can feel reassured that your pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love while you are away.

I understand that every animal has its own personality, whether they’re playful, curious, shy, or just love cuddles! I’m patient, caring, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family members with someone you trust. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m also Deaf and an American Sign Language (ASL) professor, so I communicate primarily through text, which makes it easy to stay connected and share updates and photos of your pets! 🐾 I’m an ASL professor with a flexible schedule outside my teaching hours! I’m generally available Monday mornings through 4 PM, Tuesdays after 4 PM, and all day Wednesdays and Fridays. Thursdays are my busiest days, so availability is limited. Weekend availability varies, but I’m happy to discuss arrangements in advance. Feel free to message me about your pet care needs! 🐾 Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and any special care requirements. I believe in creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you know your furry family member is in good hands!

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have completed multiple dog training courses with dogs my family and I have owned. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, reactive dogs, and animals who may need a little extra patience or guidance. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. As a nurse, I'm detail-oriented, dependable, and comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions. I can help with walks, runs, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of love and attention! My schedule is flexible while I pursue my next nursing position, allowing me to dedicate time and attention to your pets. I'd love the opportunity to meet your furry family members and give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, capable hands! I recently moved back home from Colorado and am taking a little time to recharge before starting my next nursing chapter! I've been a nurse for five years and love caring for others, but I've always had a special soft spot for animals. I'm excited to spend some extra time caring for furry friends and giving them plenty of love and attention. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I'm available most days for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and cuddles. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine and provide attentive, reliable care while you're away! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines and following all instructions provided by their owners. I know pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I take the time to get to know their individual personalities, needs, and preferences. I'm happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration, and plenty of affection and companionship. I will always treat your home with respect and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family members are in good hands!

We were very happy with Lynda's attention to our cats. Both cats are very shy. In addition to feeding them and generally taking care of their needs, Lynda was caring enough to spend sufficient time with them to coax them out of hiding and to interact with them. We most definitely will call on Lynda to care for our cats in the future.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lexus exceeded every expectation we had! She was a lifesaver, stepping in with just a few hours' notice and responding quickly and professionally throughout the entire process. Her flexibility and willingness to help made a potentially stressful situation completely worry-free. From our first conversation, it was obvious that Lexus is knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. She asked insightful questions, paid close attention to every detail, and made sure Rose and Pearl received the same love and care they get from us. She was punctual, dependable, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Most importantly, when we returned home, our girls were calm, happy, and completely at ease. That's the kind of reassurance every pet owner hopes for when leaving their furry family members in someone else's care. Lexus provides outstanding service and exceptional peace of mind. We will absolutely be booking with her again and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you're considering a pet sitter, do yourself a favor and book Lexus. Your pets will thank you for it! 🐾❤️

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Carmel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Carmel is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 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 383 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Carmel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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 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.
