“Madison is AMAZING!!! My dog can be nervous around new people but she immediately loved Madison and was cuddled up to her during each drop in. She gave great notes, photos and was quick on answering. I felt so confident being away knowing Madison was looking after my dog - would 100% recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Lynette, and I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. One thing that makes me a great dog walker is that I love being active. I have a daily step goal that I work toward, so long walks are something I truly enjoy not something I rush through. Taking dogs on walks makes reaching that goal even more enjoyable, and I love giving them the exercise, attention, and outdoor time they deserve. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and am always willing to adapt to their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys a leisurely stroll, an energetic walk, or extra playtime, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your furry friend and make their walks the highlight of their day! I start every morning with a walk, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy staying active and have a daily step goal, which means I genuinely look forward to spending time walking and caring for dogs. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I can dedicate time throughout the week to ensure pets get the exercise, attention, and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, maintain their normal routine, and make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, water, and care. I am attentive on walks, keep dogs securely leashed, and always prioritize their well-being. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and owners.
“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!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! From the very beginning, communication was excellent, and it was clear that our dog was in loving, capable hands. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was at home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. We truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and attention to detail. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we would absolutely book with her again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our family member!”
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: 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.
“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.”
About: I’ve always had at least one dog in the house and have experience with all sorts of dog personalities, from my outgoing childhood soul dog to my mom’s couch potato and my dad’s herder extraordinaire. Whatever your dog’s personality, I promise we’ll get along great! I promise to keep you updated on my time with your pet, including photos and videos, exact routes walked, and a summary of our time together so that you can stay up to date. Additionally, I’m more than happy to accomodate special requests and would love to know the special little details of your dog’s routine. (All photos posted are family pets, Molly Bean, Rosie, and my passed soul dog, Cooper 🤍) I’m a grad student on my summer break — nothing would make me happier than hanging out with your pup! I love being outside, exploring new coffee shops, and a good cuddle on the couch (or floor- I'm not picky). I promise to love your dog as much as you do! I’m more than happy to assist with maintaining your dog’s usual routine at home, or add an extra bit of enrichment! Any and all information on your dog’s routine, preferences, and favorite things to do are always welcome and appreciated.
“Danielle is great!! She has taken care of our dog and cat over long periods of time and we just had her on a multi-visit day to allow us to visit family out of state. She is always on time, a great communicator and, has a great sense of humor.”
“Kathy took great care of my 2 dogs and cat. She left great details and photos of every drop-in. She was responsive to my messages and followed all instructions for care. I would 100% rebook Kathy for future jobs!”
About: Hi! I'm Julia, a dependable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter who understands that pets are family. I provide loving care for dogs, cats, and other small pets while giving owners peace of mind when they're away. I take the time to get to know each pet's unique personality and routine, whether that means energetic walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, administering medications, or simply providing companionship. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of attention. I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping your home and pets safe and comfortable. I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. Whether you need drop-in visits, overnight stays, dog walking, or vacation care, I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved companions! I am currently retired and want to do something I love- which is caring for animals! My schedule is totally flexible! I volunteer at the animal shelter and would love to care for your pet also! Pets are family members and I treat them with love and kindness and make sure they are not missing their owners too much while they are away. I will do my best to keep you updated and make your pets feel secure and loved in your absence.
“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 have been the biggest animal lover since I was 3 years old and begged my parents for a cat. And when a cat wasn’t enough, I begged for a dog, and two years later starting competitively riding horses until I went to college. Animals have been a huge part of my life since before I can even remember. I used to pet sit for about 5 years before starting college and now that I have my own place I finally can again! I love pets and every pet I care for as my very own. I work 9-5 from home, so I can walk/play/anything before and after work, and since I work from home I am able to take the pet outside if needed and have breaks with the pet! I have no pets of my own (all pets shown in photos are from fostering or are my family's pets) I treat all pets as my own. I want each pet to feel at ease in their home while you are away, and make it a fun part of their day when I stop by

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carmel
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.
Lexus was professional and reliable. She provided detailed updates each visit, and my characteristically aloof rabbit was completely comfortable around her. When I needed a last minute booking modification, she was quick to respond and helped me out greatly. I could tell how experienced she was even from our initial meeting. I will definitely be keeping her in mind for future pet-sitting needs.
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!
Scott took great care of my very anxious golden retriever! Scott was reliable and kept Meeko on his schedule. He text me about his visits and sent me pictures. He not only let him out, he played with him in the backyard and took him for a walk. He even got Meeko to eat his food, which never happens when I am away! I highly recommend Scott and will definitely be using him again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Carmel on Rover is $18.19 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,699 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:
- 90% 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.
