“Christel is amazing, and our kitties absolutely love her. We have used her twice now and plan to continue using her in the future. She is very punctual and took the time to schedule an initial meet and greet so she could understand our expectations for each visit. We truly love her.”
“Kathy took great care of my 2 dogs and cat. She left great details and photos of every drop-in. She was responsive to my messages and followed all instructions for care. I would 100% rebook Kathy for future jobs!”
About: Hi! My name is Lynette, and I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. One thing that makes me a great dog walker is that I love being active. I have a daily step goal that I work toward, so long walks are something I truly enjoy not something I rush through. Taking dogs on walks makes reaching that goal even more enjoyable, and I love giving them the exercise, attention, and outdoor time they deserve. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and am always willing to adapt to their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys a leisurely stroll, an energetic walk, or extra playtime, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your furry friend and make their walks the highlight of their day! I start every morning with a walk, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy staying active and have a daily step goal, which means I genuinely look forward to spending time walking and caring for dogs. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I can dedicate time throughout the week to ensure pets get the exercise, attention, and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, maintain their normal routine, and make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, water, and care. I am attentive on walks, keep dogs securely leashed, and always prioritize their well-being. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and owners.
About: I bring a mix of real-life dog experience and a strong caregiving background. I helped raise and train my family’s Yorkie from a puppy, and I currently help care for and train a pitbull mix, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. As a newly graduated PA with experience working in a nursing homes and clinical settings, I’m very attentive, patient, and dependable. I also volunteer in a preschool classroom and teach dance to young girls, which has strengthened my ability to be responsible, nurturing, and engaging. Taking care of others, whether people or pets, comes naturally to me, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I am in between finishing PA school at Butler and finding a job as a PA, so this summer I will have a lot of free time during the days! When caring for your dog in your home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions closely while making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m very respectful of your space and will keep your home clean and secure. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“I highly recommend Karmen! She is very nice and knowledgeable. We have 2 hard headed German shorthair pointers and one was stuck on a bird during her visit and she was able to get her back inside! Everything else went very smoothly. 10/10 experience!”
“Nakia has been amazing watching my 85 pound black lab Duke! I can tell he really likes her and she’s always been punctual with her visits while I’m at work. The rover cards she fills out with details are wonderful to have and she even got him some toys that he loves and plays with all day! I will definitely be booking her as long as she is available to watch him. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have been pet sitting since sixth grade, as well as having two dogs of my own at home. I have experience in all kinds of pet sitting. I was very involved in 4-H, so I have all kinds of animal experience. I am a college student home for the summer who is also an animal lover! I will be working a part time job this summer and would have plenty of time with your pet! I will make sure your furry friend is never lonely and is well taken care of! I love going on walks and will make sure to take them on many! I will also make sure to follow all instructions given precisely.
“Jesse was great with our cat Orca while we were away! He helped keep him company and well taken care of. Our kitty had come down with an illness and needed daily medication - Jesse administered it every day, and gave us updates. We would love to have him watch our cat again, very trustworthy and responsive!”
“Danielle comes twice a week and two times each of those days to take our dogs out. She is conscientious about documenting their time together and making sure they get exercise. Highly recommend.”
“Beverly was great with my dog. She was available on pretty short notice to come over for a meet and greet and do one daily visit with our pup while my husband and I visited family out of town. She was consistently prompt in our correspondence and made the entire experience easy and comfortable for both me and my pup. Would definitely recommend her to anyone! ”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with both senior dogs and puppies. I grew up caring for my neighbors' dogs, trained my own dog as a puppy, and I currently care for a senior dog, so I understand their special needs. I’m also familiar with managing different pet temperaments and have experience caring for my own cat, which has given me a well-rounded ability to handle various pets. I’m confident I can provide the attentive, loving care each animal deserves. I have a few part time jobs that allow me extra time to hang out with your animals. I also have weekend and evening flexibility. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I ensure the environment is pet-proofed and provide plenty of space for exercise, play, and rest. I follow any specific care instructions, from feeding schedules to medications.
“I can tell Joshua is really good with dogs and he knows what he is doing. Ghost seems to really like him which is not normal for him at all. So I was very happy about that. I would recommend Joshua 100% especially if you have big dogs.”
“Amy was so wonderful to work with and we will definitely be reaching out to her again. She was detail oriented, and clearly cared about the well being of our pup! Don’t hesitate to use her for your pet needs!”
“We had Jan do drop in visits for our two large dogs and two cats for 8 days and she did an amazing job! Everyone was happy and healthy when we got back and everything was in order. She went above and beyond what was expected and we felt like she really cared about our pets. We definitely plan on using Jan in the future!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Carmel
Nakia did drop in visits for our cat, Socks. She had great communication from start to finish. We appreciated that most of all. Nakia took great care of our cat while we were gone. The updates were helpful in letting us know we left our pet in good hands. Because of her great ability to communicate and her responsible care of our pet, Nakia is at the top of our list next time we need a pet sitter! I would highly recommend her services!
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!
I always dread leaving my cat when we travel overseas, because he is needy and doesn't do well alone. Mackenzie was reliable and great with him. She sent tons of pictures and I found myself enjoying this vacation more than others in the past because I knew he was getting a lot of attention.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Carmel on Rover is $19.62 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 1,301 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carmel. On Rover:

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
