About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve raised three puppies of my own—so I know the energy, patience, and consistency it takes to help them grow into happy, well-behaved companions. I also had the honor of caring for my senior dog until he was 16 years old, so I’m very familiar with the extra love, gentleness, and attention that older pups often need I’m a teacher off for the summer with a flexible schedule. I’m available weekdays, most weekends, mornings, evenings—whatever works best for you and your pet! Safety is most important! I’ll follow all your care instructions closely to ensure your pet stays safe, happy, and comfortable in a secure, loving environment.

About: I’m a reliable pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. At home, I have two dogs and a sweet, feisty kitty, so I’m used to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. From playful walks to calm cuddle time, I make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and comfort they’re used to while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work weekdays and typically get out of work at 3PM on Fridays, which gives me time in the afternoons for check-ins, walks, and spending time with your pets—whether that’s getting your dog out for some exercise or hanging out and giving your cat some attention. Saturdays I usually have open availability as well, making it a great day for longer visits, walks, or drop-ins, as long as I don’t have a ministry commitment or travel scheduled. I’m committed to being reliable and intentional with the time I do have, making sure your pets are cared for and comfortable. I care for pets with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and making them feel comfortable in their environment. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and boundaries so they feel safe and not overwhelmed. I’m mindful of keeping doors secure, monitoring leash safety on walks, and making sure pets are never put in risky situations. I also keep your home respected and tidy while I’m there. When caring for pets in my own home (if applicable for the service), I provide a calm, supervised environment where pets are never left in unsafe situations and are gradually introduced to any new surroundings or animals if needed. I prioritize comfort, structure, and attention so pets feel secure and cared for. Overall, my goal is to create a peaceful, trustworthy experience where your pet feels safe, seen, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting all my life. I also fostered a mid-size mixed terrier. I have two cats of my own. I love how all animals have amazing personalities! I can do dog walking, cat check ins with waste clean-up or over nights which ever you may need. I know how to administer meds to both cats and dogs. It is so important to have your furry loved ones pampered while you are away! I am retired so my availability is flexible. I also enjoy sending photos of your four legged loved one while you are away! I have also watched chickens, turtles, guinea pigs, snakes and iguanas. Looking forward to hearing from you! I am retired so I have a flexible schedule! I can go during the day or stay overnight at your home. Whichever you feel most comfortable with would work! When I come to your house, besides walking/feeding, I do waste cleanup as well. Of course, playing is a must! I will definitely send photos and videos so you know how your furry family member is feeling!

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and have worked in an animal hospital, where I gained hands-on experience safely handling pets, walking dogs, assisting with their care, and working with animals of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I've also cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors over the years. Whether your pet needs feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, or simply some extra love and attention, I'm happy to help. I'm dependable, patient, and detail-oriented, and I understand how important it is to follow your pet's routine exactly as instructed. I'll provide photo and text updates during every visit so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, allowing me to provide dependable and consistent visits. Whether your pet needs a morning check-in, a midday visit, or evening care, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I understand how important routine is for pets, and I’m committed to providing reliable care and giving each visit the time and attention your pet deserves. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big decision. During every visit, I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, make sure they have fresh food and water, provide walks or playtime as needed, clean litter boxes or pick up after your dog, and spend quality time with them so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also send photo and text updates after each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same care and attention I give my own.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and know firsthand how important consistent, detailed care can be. My own dog has GI issues and requires a very specific diet, medication, and feeding routine, so I’m very comfortable following special instructions and keeping a close eye on changes in appetite, behavior, and routine. As a registered nurse, I’m dependable, observant, and used to being detail-oriented. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, medications, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of updates and photos while you’re away. I work a set nursing schedule and have availability on select weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and can be flexible with drop-ins, walks, feeding times, and medication schedules when planned in advance. I take pet care seriously and always follow the owner’s instructions closely. I pay attention to feeding, medications, bathroom habits, behavior, and anything that seems out of the ordinary. I’m careful with doors, leashes, gates, and each pet’s individual routine, and I’ll send updates and photos so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.

About: I have had dogs, cats, puppies in my life since I was born. I have had the pleasure of training all types of dogs in many different areas. When I was younger my family used to always take trips up to Marthas Vineyard, we always had to leave our dogs at a kennel which we realized later on was not the best thing to do for our dogs. Emotionally/mentally we could tell it had taken a toll on them, so we started leaving them home with Pet Sitters. That was the best decision we had made. I want to be able to provide the same love and care that our pet sitters have provided in the past, but for your pet! Im currently working privately as a Personal Trainer and a Hypnotherapist Practitioner so my schedule is quite flexible. I also offer Reiki for both people and pets (Dogs, Cats, Horses)!!! I don’t typically board pets but would be willing to work with someone if the situation was right. I am also willing and able to crate your pet if thats something you do in your home!

About: I've been around dogs all my life and I'm a big advocate for the bully breeds. I know how to hold a big strong dog that just wants to say hello. I can keep a steady pace for walks and hold tightly for random pass-by animals. Keeping commands firm and using the proper commands when the unexpected happens is something I excel in because of my experience of working with children. Fifteen plus years working with children ranging from the ages 3-11. I know a dog is part of the family, I have 2 of my own (a cat too!). I've had 10 plus in pet care and 20 plus years in pet ownership. Let me care for your fur-baby. My schedule is very clear for any pet care needs. I was working part time but now I’m looking for pet care as my job. I’m very watchful and observant from years of child care and from my own pets, I want the pets to be safe all the time.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Carmel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Carmel on Rover is $22.2 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 3,127 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Carmel with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carmel. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
