“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.”
“Lila is so great and reliable! I appreciate that she adapts to my puppy’s needs as my puppy grows. I had a very happy dog when I got home! Great notes and photos from the visits.”
“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!”
“Jan was very kind and helpful during the whole booking process and took such good care of Nico. She was very patient with him as well. Would definitely recommend and book with her again!”
“Highly recommend Nicole. Needed to go out of town last minute and the process was so easy. Nicole was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. Will use her again in the future. My dog does not do well boarding and this takes a lot of stress off knowing she is in good hands.”
“I can’t express how much I appreciate Kristina enough. She cares about my pets and makes sure they are well taken care of every time she cones. She leaves great messages so that I know all is well or if something is needed. Thank you Kristina.”
“Keli was fantastic. She was flexible to book last minute when I had two long days scheduled away from home. She was super responsive, took multiple photos and gave me feedback on how Kirra was doing. She everything I asked her to do and I came home to a happy dog. Thanks!”
“We have booked Danielle to care for our kitties twice now. She is great - consistent communication and always sends us cute pics so we can see how they’re doing! We were even able to book her last minute for this time around. Really appreciate knowing our fur babies are cared for when we’re traveling.”
“Tyler has been wonderful! I needed a dog sitter last minute and he really showed up for me. The first day had some scheduling issues and mix-ups (100% mistake on my part) and he was flexible and worked with me. He’s been great at communicating and send multiple photos. I highly recommend Tyler.”
About: If your dog has medical needs I can take care of them and am able to meet their needs. I will keep contact with you through out your dogs visit and send pictures and videos! I have 2 years experience of animal care I work at a dog boarding facility, I LOVE all animals and treat them like my own! I work at a school, so my summers and breaks are open! I don’t go to work super early and my afternoons are free, I have lots of free time during the day! I keep my dogs inside I don’t have a backyard, walks are a must in my house and I’ll do the same for yours. Your dogs will be treated just like mine! I will be willing to do anything that you require of me.
“Kara was amazing with my two huskies! They seemed to really take to her, and she sent daily pictures of them along with narrative updates. I would definitely rebook with Kara again!”

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.
Nakia did drop in visits for our cat, Socks. She had great communication from start to finish. We appreciated that most of all. Nakia took great care of our cat while we were gone. The updates were helpful in letting us know we left our pet in good hands. Because of her great ability to communicate and her responsible care of our pet, Nakia is at the top of our list next time we need a pet sitter! 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.
