“Bridget did an amazing job with my kitties! As someone who is a pet sitter and works from home most of the time i was so worried about leaving the, but she provided me with updates and pictures through the booking to put me at ease, and she was super flexible with the times! HIGHLY recommend!”
“Joe was amazing! Very attentive to both our pups! We had a last minute change to our booking and Joe was super accommodating. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
About: I love spending time with animals! I grew up with dogs and have two cats of my own. I work remote full time so I can get away whenever. Wanting to start doing this as a hobby more than anything else! I work full time remotely so I can get away pretty easily during the weekdays (especially in Carmel) I can always work around weekend availability as well! I have drop in visits for cats and dogs before for friends and family. I can accommodate whatever is needed for safety and comfort in your home!
“I had to leave home for what I expected to be a very stressful weekend which included leaving my pets. As soon as I met Valerie I knew I my pups would be in good, reliable hands. I did not worry about my pups for one minute while away which made my trip so much more enjoyable. Valerie sent 5-7 pictures at every visit and I could see my pups were having a blast. Thank you Valerie and hopefully you will be available again to hang my girls.”
“Danielle was so awesome with my poodle. She was very understanding of his separation anxiety (and my anxiety with leaving him). She sent lots of updates, and it was great to see how happy my pup was with her. I’m sure Truffle is excited to see her again!”
“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: 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!
“Jan was amazing!!! I have an anxious rescue dog who is still trying to get used to her surroundings, and she absolutely loved Jan. She was very communicative and sent me photos throughout the day. This was my first time using Rover and I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her!”
About: Lifelong dog owner and lover. Senior pet specialist (thanks to our 14 year-old Golden, Rosie). Cat whisperer (our velcro kitty Neptune would agree). And come August, officially an empty nester with way too much love to give. I handle meds, brushing, playtime, and litter boxes. Your pet is in great hands. I currently work from home, so can be flexible. If you're close enough I can pop in every few hours if needed. I can stay over if your pets need overnight care. I have a senior dog and a cat and since they're the actual owners of the space, I'll only be at your home. Whatever makes them comfortable, happy and safe while they're missing you, I can acommodate.
“Nakia did a great job with Sophie. She was on time, text me with the status of how Sophie was doing during her visits, and provided pictures of their little walks. Soph seemed like she had been well cared for during our time away. I will contact Nakia for future Rover needs!! Highly recommend.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience with puppies - senior dogs, giving medicines, walking dogs, and making homemade dog food. I am currently in college part time locally and live at home. I have my own transportation. i have classes on Monday and Wednesday currently. I have flexibility to come to your home to walk your dogs, do drop in visits to feed and keep your pets company, and check on your cats or other animals.
About: I have four years of experience working in dog boarding facilities, where I held a management role and consistently ensured top-quality care for the local pups. I have experience with reactive dogs and larger breeds, so I am able to care for dogs of all sizes! I'm currently working part-time, but am slowly transitioning to staying home. I will gain more availability to spend with your furry friends in the near future! My pets are considered family. They spend their time roaming and getting showered with attention and love! My dog gets walked and taken out for hiking adventures whenever we get the opportunity!
“Cara is very personable and professional. She has already made our lives so much easier by being someone we can count on to take care of our dogs! She takes great pictures of them too.”
“Nicole was extremely professional and easy to work with. She responded very quickly when I first sent out the request and was even able to come make it over to our house for a quick meet and greet before we finalized and booked. She was attentive and detailed in her check in’s with my dogs. Next time we go out of town I will definitely be re-booking with Nicole!”
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. :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carmel
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!
We had a last minute cancellation and needed a sitter asap. Meg was so quick to jump in and learn how our little group works so she could effectively take care of them while we were away. She sent several updates and pictures, which was calming while we weren’t home. She’s very knowledgeable about dog behavior, which I found incredibly relieving and comforting. I would highly recommend her services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Carmel on Rover is $18.12 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,701 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Carmel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Carmel stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carmel. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
