About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up an equestrian and worked on a horse farm. I now have two dogs of my own that won't do well with another one boarding, but I am happy to drop-in to check on your babies! I work the normal 8:30-5:00 job M-F so I am away from home normally during that time. I work close enough to stop home during lunch most days for potty breaks. Pets are cared for in my own home which has a fenced yard and is in a quiet neighborhood on the East side of Carmel. All dogs need to be fully potty trained. I know accidents can happen, but I cannot accept dogs that mark or potty inside in my home.
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: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a Rover Sitter with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, & personalities. My home is best suited for friendly family dogs who enjoy a structured, home-based environment. I currently have dogs & cats of my own, so I’m experienced with multi-pet households & carefully managing introductions, feeding routines, crate time, exercise, & rest periods. What sets me apart is that I treat every stay like a dog is joining our household, not just being watched. I prioritize safety, consistency, & clear communication so both pets & owners feel comfortable throughout their stay. I have experience with puppies, large breeds, crate training routines, shy dogs, & dogs who need a little extra time to settle into a new environment. I provide regular updates, photos, & individualized care while maintaining the structure that helps dogs feel secure away from home. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, calm, & loving home where your dog can relax, play, & be treated like family. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday routine. I currently work two part time jobs while transitioning into a new position, so my schedule is full-time between the two. Beginning in August, I’ll be fully transitioned & back to working part time hours each week, giving me more flexibility. No matter how busy my work schedule is, I plan my day around the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or simply spending quality time with them, I make sure every pet receives the attention, love, & consistency they deserve. I keep my availability up to date & only accept bookings that I know I can provide exceptional care for. Safety & comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. Before each stay, I take time to learn about a pet’s routine, personality, preferences, & any special instructions provided by their owner. When boarding in my home, I use slow, supervised introductions with resident pets & closely monitor interactions to ensure everyone is comfortable. Dogs are never left together unsupervised until I am confident they are a good fit. Crates & separate spaces are available when needed for meals, rest, or decompression. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide fresh water at all times, & follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. My home is pet-friendly, & I take care to keep potentially unsafe items out of reach while providing a clean, secure environment. For drop-in visits & house sitting, I respect my clients’ homes & follow all instructions carefully. I pay close attention to feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, litter box maintenance, & home security. I also provide regular updates & photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, & well cared for while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable & every owner feel at ease.
About: I have alot of experience with caring for cats and dogs as I've taken care of them since a child and have had many special cats and dogs of my own over my adult years. Pet care fits well into my routine, especially during evenings and weekends. I work in Plainfield Tuesday through Friday, so I’m typically available for evening visits and walks on those days. I have much more flexibility on weekends and Mondays and can accommodate daytime visits, walks, and longer periods of care. I’m happy to work with each pet parent to find a schedule that keeps their pet comfortable and their normal routine as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any house rules. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll provide a safe, comfortable environment and plenty of attention based on their individual needs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Emily did a great job with my dogs while we were away for our wedding day. From the moment my most standoffish boy immediately warmed up to her I knew she would be a great fit! She sent multiple check in photos which I loved! Will definitely be using her again.”
About: I am into the senior years with my dog, and have previous senior animal care. I am adept at high energy breeds and low energy seniors, while also having extensive experience with anxiety driven breeds. Additionally, most of my experience with dogs has been with the large to extra large variety. I am the friend that you have that always asks....can I pet that dog? I work full time but with a flexible schedule to take great care of your furry family member while you are away and continue their everyday routines. While my animals are adapted to my routine, I will ensure that while you are away the familiar routine & care your pet receives continues without a hitch.
About: If your dog has medical needs I can take care of them and am able to meet their needs. I will keep contact with you through out your dogs visit and send pictures and videos! I have 2 years experience of animal care I work at a dog boarding facility, I LOVE all animals and treat them like my own! I work at a school, so my summers and breaks are open! I don’t go to work super early and my afternoons are free, I have lots of free time during the day! I keep my dogs inside I don’t have a backyard, walks are a must in my house and I’ll do the same for yours. Your dogs will be treated just like mine! I will be willing to do anything that you require of me.
About: With 3 years of dog care experience, including time as a vet tech, I’m confident handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m comfortable giving medications, understanding behavior, and making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Walks, playtime, and belly rubs included! I work from home the majority of the time, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. I really miss having fur babies around, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I genuinely look forward to! I care for pets as if they were my own, whether in my home or my clients’. I use to have two dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, comfort, and affection. I maintain feeding schedules, provide exercise and playtime, and create a safe, stress-free environment. I’m also experienced in giving medication and caring for pets with special needs.
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’ve always loved being around dogs! I've spent almost 3 years at a doggy daycare, where I'm actively learning how to read dog body language, keep group and 1-on-1 time safe, and handle feeding routines. Over the years, I’ve gained experience working with a variety of personalities including dogs who are reactive or display aggressive behavior. I also have my own reactive dog so I understand firsthand how important it is to be patient, attentive, and consistent. Taking care of animals is something I truly enjoy, and I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently working part-time, but I’m free most Mondays and Wednesdays from the morning through late afternoon. Fridays are usually open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., since I work at 2 p.m. Feel free to ask about other days too, and I can let you know what works for me 😊 I unfortunately can't provide space for your beloved pet as I have a reactive dog and cat. However, I believe that I'm able to make your pet feel comfortable in its own home even if you're gone. I can be playful but also relaxed. I will be able to give your pet plenty of attention when they want it!
“Saigul went above and beyond when taking care of my baby girl Ellie. Was always prompt with his drop in’s and made the whole experience worry free! I will most definitely be booking with him again as Ellie grew fond of him as well.”
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.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Carmel is $20
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Carmel
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! 🐾❤️
Rachel was fantastic with Ari! She took the time to understand Ari’s personality and gave her attentive, gentle care the whole time. I always knew Ari was in good hands. Highly recommend Rachel for anyone with a cat who needs a little extra patience and attention!
Josie did a fantastic job watching our cat for a week! He unexpectedly had an ear infection right before we were gone and helped administer his ear medicine. We also got some furniture delivered in the rain and she was nice enough to bring it inside. 100% recommend!
Clare did a phenomenal job!! She was very flexible and accommodating, and went above and beyond taking care of my cats. My cats were very happy and well-cared for. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat-sitter, and would be glad to have her cat-sit for me again.

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.

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.
