About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and hands-on experience with all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing gentle, specialized care. I’m skilled in basic puppy training, administering medications, and keeping routines consistent. I’m also dependable, patient, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I balance my studies with pet sitting by planning my schedule carefully around walks, feedings, and playtime. Caring for animals gives me a meaningful break from school, and I genuinely enjoy the responsibility. It keeps me active, focused, and connected to something I truly love doing. I care for pets by sticking closely to their routine, whether in my home or the client’s. I make sure they’re fed on time, have clean water, get daily walks or playtime, and receive lots of love and attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, and keeping their space clean. In my home, I create a safe, cozy, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I take pet care seriously and treat every animal like they’re part of my own family.

About: I have over 20 years of animal care experience. I have owned, dogs, cats and horses! I love making animals happy and making sure their “fur-parents” feel satisfied with their care. For walks and check-ins I would be mostly available any day of the week due to my flexible schedule. For pet sitting I’m also available any day! I would be available to take your dogs to any park in the area. I am a very active person and love being outside playing with pups!

About: Before I got my current 1.5yr old dog, I had a 17yr old beagle and a three legged dog. So I’ve definitely cared for needs of all kinds. I currently am working on my masters. I also have personal training clients. I set my own schedule, so taking care of your dog can usually fit into my schedule wherever you need it. I care for pets in your home or mine, whichever they are more comfortable. If you need me to let them out, walk, or stay with them… Just let me know.

About: Have had pets all my life ranging from typical dogs and cats to the more exotic horses and reptiles. Pets are not like family, they ARE family and I will always treat them as such. I have watched and cared for many pets throughout my childhood and adult life. I have pet sitting experience whether it be watching a family member's senior dog while they go on vacation, watching a college students new puppy while they go back home over the summer, taking care of my sister's cats while she finished up her degree, or simply stopping by to take my mom's dogs on walks when I'm in town. If you're looking for a flexible, reliable and loving pet sitter then you have come to the right place! I am currently working remote and have the flexibility to work with my rover clients' schedule. Whether it be midday walks, or overnight care, I can make myself available. I am willing to do whatever your furry friend requires. I am comfortable with overnights with pets, walking/caring for multiple pets no matter the size. I am also comfortable with meeting your pets needs, whether it be strict dietary needs, specific walk routines, or medication that is needed during my stay or visit. Communication is key so as long as I'm aware of needs to be done, I will make sure your pet is well taken care of

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. Growing up, my family had a Black Lab and a Maltese, so I became comfortable caring for dogs ranging from small breeds to larger, energetic dogs from a young age. I currently have two cats of my own—Smalls, my 3-month-old short-haired black kitten, and Boomer, my 6-year-old big, fluffy long-haired cat. I also have a 7-year-old Alaskan Malamute, so I’m very comfortable around large breeds. He had ACL surgery within the past year, which also gave me experience caring for a dog who needed extra attention and patience during recovery. In addition to my own pets, I frequently pet sit for friends, family, and family friends. I’ve done both in-home/overnight pet sitting and drop-in visits and am comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable—whether that means lots of play and attention or simply giving them some space and keeping their normal routine while their owner is away.

About: After being laid off from my tech sales job, I picked up dog sitting and quickly realized I never wanted to stop! Since my travel schedule prevents me from having a pup of my own right now, watching your dogs is the absolute best way for me to get my daily fix. While living in Austin, I regularly provided walking, drop-in visits, and overnight boarding for my neighbors. I am super responsive on my phone, so feel free to message me anytime with questions or to set up a meet-and-greet! I work from home in Carmel, IN. I’m in sales so my schedule is pretty flexible. My company loves dogs so I definitely have time to go for walks during the day! I am open to boarding dogs as well as doing visits in your home! I love going for walks as well as dog cuddles. Message me with any questions!

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands on experience. I've raised dogs and cats, fostered animals in need, and regularly look out for local strays. From furry friends to tank-dwellers with gills, I love them all❤️ I’m currently working part time, so I am pretty flexible when it comes to my schedule. I am in the middle of a weigh loss journey, so I appreciate as many walks as I can get in-always more fun to have a furry friend to join! My dog is a rescue who wasn’t treated kindly before joining our family. He sure does love his feline brother and sisters, but he isn’t fond of other dogs making it impossible for dogs to come to our home. I am open to care in yours!

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 grown up taking care of dogs and cats my whole life. Back home I have 2 huge pups that I care for! I have a lot of experience with not only my own dogs but also, my neighbors and close friends have hired me to help out. I’m a local student so I’m looking for some extra work on the weekends and after class. My schedule is pretty busy with school so weekends are the best time for me. Back home, my dogs have an electric fence and sleep inside the house. As a current college student, I will not be able to care for overnight pets.

About: Growing up my family always had at least 3 dogs at any given time. I am use to large and small dogs, males and females. When I was first out of college I worked at a doggie daycare/ boarding boutique. I was responsible for the well being of 5-10 large and 5-10 small dogs at any given time. I really enjoyed being able to play and run around with all of the animals. I have one border collie mix female dog (1.5 years). A typical day consists of walking around the neighborhood, going to the dog park in my complex, heading to tigerlake or the beach and then enjoying some snuggle time on the couch. I look forward to adding other dogs to our pack. :)

As before Melanie is amazing! This is the second time she has walked Maverick while I have been out of town and I wouldn’t choose anyone else. She is very patient and understanding she cares for Maverick and made sure to be careful with him due to his surgery. Maverick remembered her and did very well I’m so glad Melanie was available and very happy with the care she gave Maverick! I will always choose Melanie

Todd is AMAZING! He took the time to come meet Kody before he walked him the first time. He listened and really has a peacefulness about him. Our dog is dog reactive, and I really felt comfortable with Todd walking him. First time we have ever had a dog walker through Rover. I highly recommend Todd! He had such a great interaction with our Kody! Kody loved him! We will use Todd again! 🤩😊

FAQs for Dog Walking - Carmel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Carmel on Rover is $18 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $7 and $28 per walk. walkers 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 October 2026, there are 2,483 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Carmel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Carmel. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Carmel after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

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

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers 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 walker.
