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.
“Having Evelyn watch our dog was a great decision and one we’ll repeat in the future for sure. We were feeling guilty about leaving our nervous dude for almost two weeks but Evelyn put our minds at eases. She came over beforehand, met Otto and took lots of notes. Evelyn took care of our house (even keeping garden veggies alive in summer) and our dog and you should too. Great communication too! Thanks Evelyn!”
“Daria did an excellent job caring for my three pups. She was communicative and sent many updates. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my pups were being cared for. I would definitely hire Daria in the future and hope to do so again soon!”
“Highly recommend Lauren! It was clear from the meet-and-greet that she has a lot of experience. She handled our two dogs with ease and sent lots of updates and photos. A truly stress-free experience for us.”
“My wife and I had a family vacation for 5 days and it was our first time leaving our new home and pets, so naturally we were a little nervous! However, Rachel made it so we didn’t have to worry about anything while we were away. This was such a great experience and we highly recommend Rachel. She is very kind, respectful, and reliable! We love now feeling like we have someone we can trust when we need help with the pets and we are so grateful!!!! 10 stars!”
“We decided to go with in-home care for our dog instead of boarding while we were traveling. I was a little apprehensive at first, but Tyler did a great job. He took care of our dog, sent us daily updates, and everything was in perfect order when we returned after a week.”
“Kendra was excellent with us and our dogs. From arranging a meet and greet to overall communication, I felt like she was very on top of absolutely everything and took great care of our two dogs, one still being fully puppy stage. She sent photos, left a clean house and helped us out with nail, trash cans, etc. very happy and will definitely use her again.”
“Cannot say how grateful I am to have found Tara to watch my Copper, she does an amazing job and I cannot thank enjoy my trips more knowing he os happy and taken care of. Amazing sitter”
About: Hi, I’m Anisha! I’m a respected and responsible healthcare professional who has dedicated my career to caring for others—and that same compassion extends to pets. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’m a proud and beloved “doggie auntie” to many pups in my life. From snuggles to walks to playtime, I treat every dog like family. You can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and loving with your pet, whether it’s keeping up with their daily routine, making sure they get plenty of exercise, or giving them extra TLC while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work full-time Tuesday through Friday from 8am–4pm, which means I’m available in the evenings on those days as well as mornings before work. I also have full availability on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets outside of my work hours. When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s mealtime, walks, playtime, or medication—so they feel secure and cared for just like they would with you. I give plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also keeping their environment tidy and stress-free. My priority is to treat every pet as if they were my own, with a balance of responsibility and lots of love.
“Rhonda was wonderful!! I just rescued this dog and she has some challenges. Rhonda did a great job dealing with her issues and making sure that everything went well. I will definately use her again in the future.”
“Cole was a Godsend when I found myself needing to find care for our two pups at the last minute on 4th of July weekend. She specializes in dogs with firework and thunder anxiety which both of our girls struggle with so when I saw her profile, I prayed she would have availability, and that prayer was answered. Nicole came right over to meet us and everything worked out better than I could have hoped for. She is very communicative and sent updates and photos throughout the visit. She even brought a white noise machine to help mask the noises from the fireworks to help keep our babies! If you are looking for a kind, compassionate, attentive and highly skilled caregiver you can not go wrong with Nicole! She is amazing and I will definitely reach out to her the next time our girls need a sitter! Thank you Nicole! Until next time!”
“Abby did a great job taking care of our dog Gunner and our house while we were on vacation for a week. She was always responsive and professional with communication, from the first outreach until the end of our trip. Abby also texted pictures of him a few times, and he looked happy and relaxed, which helped to reassure us of his well-being. We'd definitely have Abby come over again!”

Daria was amazing! She stayed with our dogs at our house for 10 days. We had constant communication with lots of picture and video updates. It was clear our dogs (and house) were very well loved and taken care of! Will definitely book again and highly recommend!!
Paige did a wonderful in taking care of our boys as well as our house. We came back to a VERY clean house, she even washed the sheets and folded a few clothes. It’s so refreshing to come back home from vacation knowing everything has been taken care of, and our animals were in great care. Thanks again!!
Isabella was AMAZING! She was very communicative, sent lots of photos and made us feel at ease for our entire 10 day trip. We are always so anxious to leave them for that amount of time with a new sitter but Isabella was professional, kind and truly amazing to work with. Can’t recommend her enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Carmel on Rover is $47.73 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,562 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carmel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Carmel walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Carmel maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Carmel choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
