Kelsey is great! It was clear our pup loved her at their first meeting, and Kelsey took great care of him during a check-in visit. It turns out I didn’t have service while she was with him, so even when I was unable to get back to her question in a timely manner, Kelsey problem-solved and took care of Felix perfectly. We’re glad to have her as part of our pup’s care team!

Hallie was just an amazing caregiver for my cats while I was away! The photos she sent of the girls and details of each visit added to my peace of mind. She watered my plants, took in my mail and brought my trash to the curb, as well. I would recommend Hallie without hesitation and hopefully can utilize her expert services in the future.

About: If you’re looking for someone to just drop a bowl of kibble and scroll on their phone, I’m probably not your person. But if you want someone who will treat your pet like a misunderstood genius or a retired diplomat, we’re going to get along great! I work for the MTA as a train operator in the city, but on my days off I love taking my corgi Zuko on long walks and playing in our yard. I've had dogs and cats since I was young, and have a special affinity for all animals. If you want your fur baby treated like the king or queen they know they are while you're away, look no further! I am currently off Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays so I will have the full 24 hours of those days to walk, play, entertain, and care for your pets. I have a large unfenced yard on a very quiet street off the main road. I also have a extremely friendly and energetic corgi named Zuko who will assuredly be your pets new best friend. There will be tons of playing, running, fetch and more to ensure your pet has the best experience staying at their home away from home.

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.

Chloe was great at caring for Wilbur and Mesu! Mesu being the "old man", has also been very apprehensive of strangers. I swore Chloe wouldn't even get the chance to meet him. Yet, he came out t9lo greet her and even allowed for scratches! Chloe always showed up on time, and went above to make sure both cats were comfortable.

About: I am an animal lover. I have had animals my entire life ( cats, dogs, snakes, tarantulas, lizards, fish, turtles, and chinchillas). I understand the responsibility it takes to care for all animals . I am very patient and show compassion to the needs of all animals. I am currently the owner of 3 cats and a dog. I find being around animals very relaxing. I enjoy playing with them and look forward to making a connection with the animal so that it feels safe and joyful. I also have a great understanding to the different temperaments of all animals. I would love for the owner and animal to feel that their in good hands at all times. I will follow all the rules and wishes that the owner feels necessary for their animals to feel safe. I am currently working as a school teacher for 21 years. I am available 3:30pm- 10:00pm on weekdays and on the weekend I am available all weekend. Available majority of the summer as well. I have 2 cats that are house bound. I have an Alaskan Klee Kai that is allowed to be out with supervision. We are not fenced in.

About: I've had dogs my whole life. My dog is a very hyper medium sized shepherd mix, I've had her since she was a puppy, so I've been through the whole messy training process. I love dogs and all the walks that come with it. I am a full-time (dorming) college student, but I am fully available Friday evening to Sunday night. I unfortunately don't have my license just yet, but when I do I will be able to pet sit weekdays too. I prefer to pet sit in the client's home if possible. I have a very social and friendly cat, who doesn't mind staying in her little sanctuary if needed. I have a super friendly energetic dog, who is very playful, which can be overwhelming for some animals.

About: I've been surrounded by pets my whole life. Growing up, I cared for many cats and dogs. I don’t have any animals at the moment. However, I did care for my cat, Susan, and Siberian Husky, Luke, for 15+ years before they both crossed the rainbow bridge in 2019. I know the tender, loving care that’s required to take in an animal and I’m sensitive to the fact that these kittens & pups are your babies! Each dog/cat/pet has a different personality and set of needs based on their breed or lifestyle and I’m prepared to take on any challenge. I’ve had prior experience home/dog/cat sitting and my schedule is pretty flexible. My phone is on hand at all times and I’m more than willing to send you pics throughout our time together! Currently, I have a flexible schedule and am looking to care for cats and pups to fill my days with more furry friends. 🐱 🐶 When I had pets at home, I would care for them by taking them on walks and playing their favorite games. I installed an electric fence for my dog so he could run around and enjoy the outdoors when I couldn’t walk him.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Carmel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Carmel on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,312 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:

  • 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.

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.
