“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.”
About: I've cared for all kinds of fuzzy friends since I was little; I've been around everything from horses, to goats, to chickens, to dogs of all sizes, to llamas. I have a 5 year old Wheaten Terrier named Dash that is my entire world. I work from home, so I'm able to assist you with walks and drop-ins during the way when you're away! I work from home, so I'm available to help while you're gone throughout the day and into the evening! I have regular availability Monday through Friday and am happy to drop by for a visit or a walk. Regular walks, plenty of attention, and a clean, comfortable environment while I carefully follow each pet's routine! My Wheaten has quirks, so I'm happy to accommodate whatever you need for your family.
“I couldn’t ask for a better sitter for my pup while I was away. Kendra went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of and included. She treated him like her own. 10/10! Thank you!”
About: I have he numerous pets of all walks my entire life! Have worked with all kinds of dogs and people in a variety of places! I’m currently unemployed and on the job hunt so I have a very flexible, easy to cater to schedule to help you find the best times for you and your pet! I am very comfortable and open to working with anyone in any kind of environment. I love to match the pet’s energy and am happy to cater to any special requests!
“Manuel was amazing at taking great care of my pup! He arrived on time, did everything exactly as requested, and sent me updates plus cute pics throughout! Hoping he’s free next time I’m out of town- would highly recommend :)”
“Second time using Nicole and again very pleased! Reached out short notice and she was available and always quick to respond! Highly recommend and will be using her again in the future.”
“Ashley took care of my two cats while I was on vacation and did a wonderful job. My cats liked her right away and she was great about sending updates every day. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone with kitties!”
“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: I've taken care of cats for about 12 years and I'm very good with my friends' dogs. I tend to get along very well with animals and I love taking care of them! I'm currently a student but am fairly flexible when it comes to figuring out times to take care of your pet! Let me know your needs and I will do my best to fulfill them. I am very patient and kind with animals. I'll make sure I'm thorough about discussing your pets' needs with you and will follow your instructions well
“Makinsey did great watching my pup after her spay surgery! I was a bit nervous leaving her with someone during her recovery, but Makinsey was so good with her and even got her to take her medicine (which she is really stubborn about).”
“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!”
“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!”
“I just had Will stay with my dog for the first time and he did great! Mabel is pretty high energy and she was very happy and relaxed when I got home. I will definitely use Will again :)”

We were very happy with Lynda's attention to our cats. Both cats are very shy. In addition to feeding them and generally taking care of their needs, Lynda was caring enough to spend sufficient time with them to coax them out of hiding and to interact with them. We most definitely will call on Lynda to care for our cats in the future.
Bridget is wonderful! She pays attention to detail - I have 3 chihuahuas; a senior, a tween & a baby ( under 2 yrs old ). She took excellent care of my trio while I was out of the country with very little access to my phone or email. Sent great pictures & left my place very well maintained. Bridget is reliable and a total sweetheart.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lexus exceeded every expectation we had! She was a lifesaver, stepping in with just a few hours' notice and responding quickly and professionally throughout the entire process. Her flexibility and willingness to help made a potentially stressful situation completely worry-free. From our first conversation, it was obvious that Lexus is knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. She asked insightful questions, paid close attention to every detail, and made sure Rose and Pearl received the same love and care they get from us. She was punctual, dependable, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Most importantly, when we returned home, our girls were calm, happy, and completely at ease. That's the kind of reassurance every pet owner hopes for when leaving their furry family members in someone else's care. Lexus provides outstanding service and exceptional peace of mind. We will absolutely be booking with her again and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you're considering a pet sitter, do yourself a favor and book Lexus. Your pets will thank you for it! 🐾❤️
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 of Pet Sitting in Carmel is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 November 2026, there are 2,626 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Carmel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
