“Keli has dropped by and taken our dog for a walk a few times now and she is fantastic! She sends great updates/pictures during the day, and you get the sense that she really cares. She has always been punctual and thorough - thoughtful too. We will definitely be booking her again! :)”
About: I grew up with and around dogs, so I'm really comfortable around them no matter their age or personality. I've also dog/house sat for family friends numerous times (sometimes for two weeks or more), so I'm experienced with keeping feeding schedules, medications, and routines consistent while owners are away. I'm also active and love going on walks, so if yours needs extra exercise, that's something I genuinely enjoy providing! I recently finished OT school, so I'm in between that and starting my next job, which means my schedule is wide open right now. I can offer flexible timing throughout the day and give your pet plenty of consistent, unhurried attention. Handing over your house key and your pet isn't a small thing, so I try to be someone you don't have to worry about while you're gone. That means being consistent, sending updates, paying attention to your pet's needs, and treating your home with the same care I'd want for my own!
“We hired Jan to handle our 75 lbs golden retriever during our family photoshoot. She was wonderful and even worked through his pulling as he wanted to lead and be in pictures. She even helped grab his attention so the pics could turn nicer. I’d definitely hire her again!”
“Lauren is amazing! She responded quickly when I first reached out and made time for a meet and greet, which immediately put me and my pup at ease. When she takes my dog for a walk. she always shares thoughtful updates and the cutest photos. It’s clear she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. My dog adores her, and I felt so comfortable knowing he was in such great hands. I’ll definitely continue using Lauren as my dog walker—she’s the best!”
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!
“Kristen has walked our dog on multiple occasions and is very responsive, on-time and communicates well with us! She goes the extra step and makes sure our pup has water when they get back from their walk before she leaves which we really appreciate. Will definitely continue to reach out to her in the future!”
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.
“River quickly warmed up to Joseph and was able to cover short notice walks for her this week. Highly recommend him to take care of your pet when life keeps you busy. Will use his services again.”

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: I started caring for my family’s various pets around the age of 15. Ranging from West Highland white terriers to Australian Shepards to Great Danes, I love them all! In undergrad, I gained experience pet sitting my friend’s cats, lizards, and hamsters. I’m currently studying for the GRE and looking to make some extra money. I enjoy being active both inside and outside with animals, and have plenty of free time to make them feel loved. I have a good sense about the needs of animals, identifying their cues when they need more attention, walks, etc. If you have a particular schedule or behavioral program that you’d like me to implement, I can do that as well!

“Danielle is truly amazing. Best dog walker ever! She really took care of my babies and took lots of pictures. Her notes were detailed and made me feel so comfortable while I was gone. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
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: I have grown up with dogs and cats for most of my life, and truly got to experience full ownership in my early twenties. I have learned so much about and from these loving furry friends from raising 3 litters of puppies to training and loving my own pups to caring for my friends’ fur babies. I have experience with elderly furry pups, along with administering medication both in pill form and topicals. For the past 15+ years, I’ve been the proud dog mom to my red Min Pin. I also had the pleasure of raising my cat from a kitten during Covid until he proudly became my parent’s ES animal. I taken a great deal of care with my dog’s diet, health, and well being as his aged into an elderly yet spry dog. He’s had an injury to his heel prior to us meeting, but I was able to care for him and understand what the best plan would be to ensure he lives a normal, crazy, uninterrupted, fun, full Min Pin life. I want to be able to provide the same love, care, and understanding for your fur baby. They are what keeps us happy and loved humans :) I, primarily, prefer to care for smaller animals, since I’ve been a dog mom to Corgi mixes and Min Pin breeds. I currently have an open schedule which will give me ample time to care for, play, and provide companionships and care to your fur baby while you’re away. I have a comfortable and pet friendly environment where it’s a quiet, peaceful, and easy walk. I have a deck for pups who enjoy some sun and fresh air and a cat tree to entertain any possible kitty cat visitors.

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! 🤩😊

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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Carmel.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carmel. On Rover:
- 90% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
