“Emma did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats over the holidays. Even our skittish one would come out for them. We loved the daily photos we received and the quick communication. Great job, we will definitely hire again.”
“Elizabeth is such a kind human and went above and behind to take care of our two kitties & home! I would highly recommend booking with her and will definitely use her in the future :)”
About: We offer an attentive boarding environment where dogs can be active or relaxed - tailored to what they need. We board only one pet (or pet family) at a time, so your pets receive focused attention and a predictable environment. I work from home, so I’m generally around all day for supervision, companionship, and consistency. This is a great fit for dogs who enjoy being part of the household rather than left alone for long stretches. I have a lifetime of experience caring for animals of all kinds - dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, ferrets, and more - which has made me observant, adaptable, and comfortable reading different personalities and needs. I’ve loved them all, from playful youngsters to slower seniors, anxious or outgoing, big or small. Our Home & Setup: - Large, fully fenced backyard for zoomies and fetch. - Rotating variety of interesting neighborhood walks and local adventures. - Positive reinforcement only. - Prioritize safety: no off-leash activity unless explicitly approved, separated feeding. - Canine/feline CPR & First Aid certified - Carry individual pet sitting insurance - Daily updates & photos (if desired) Our Resident Animals: We have a friendly 3-year-old female herding-mix who enjoys making new dog friends, plus two dog-savvy cats. Initial introductions are slow and intentional to prioritize safety. Best Fit/Boundaries: - We’re a flexible home, but extreme behaviors that demand uninterrupted supervision won't be the best fit (such as significant aggression or severe separation anxiety or escape artistry). - If dogs are known chewers, we ask that they be comfortable being crated. - Dogs that are known to be respectful of feline boundaries will be the best fit so everyone stays relaxed and stress-free. Meet & Greets: - Required for all boarding and drop-ins to establish familiarity and understand preferences. - Boarding meet-and-greets may happen in two steps (either same or separate day): 1. Dog introductions in a neutral location (like a local park), 2. A home visit for familiarity and cat compatibility. - For boarding stays longer than 3 days, we require a trial daycare day to confirm fit and avoid surprises while you’re away. Rover is built around dogs and cats, but if you have a more unique menagerie—let’s chat! I work from home 95% of the time but very occasionally have work obligation or appointment that keeps me away for <6 hours. Interacting with own pets is the highlight of my day and your pets will get their own special dose of attention. Indoors, your dog will have run of the house unless they are typically in a crate as part of your routine, or showing signs of needing to be separated for calming or safety reasons. They are able to sleep wherever they are comfortable - on their bed, on our bed, on the couch. Access to the outdoors is controlled. Our yard is fully fenced fenced and we have a 50 foot cable leash system if needed. We initially supervise your dog anytime they are outside, but for longer stays where trust and routine is established we may let them out together for a quick potty (<5 minutes).
“Silvana took care of our cat and 2 birds while we were out of town for the weekend. She did a wonderful job and we couldn't have been happier with the attentive care she provided. She clearly followed my instructions, sent detailed updates on how they were doing, and sent some great photos! Thank you Silvana! We would love to hire you again!”
“Andi, has been an excellent caregiver for Cakes. She went above and beyond to interact with Cakes who is very shy and hides from strangers. Andi also followed our instructions well and checked in each day writing about her visit with Cakes. I hope she will be available next time we need a caregiver for Cakes. We can highly recommend her! I would like to give Andi a $50 tip for her excellent work. SWC”
About: No time spent with a pet is wasted! I love animals so much, and am super accommodating to the type of attention they want. My cats and dog are so important to me-as I imagine yours are to you-so I’d love to help take care of yours while you’re away! I am currently working freelance roles, so my availability is very open and flexible. This means I’m happy to accommodate yours pets usual routine times. Pets are so special. I will provide both a calming and/or energetic presence depending on their personality. I’m very reliable and on-time, and will make sure your pets needs and wants are met!
“Liz was great with our cat Natasha who is 19 years old. She hit it off immediately which is saying something for Natasha. Liz knew how to administer medicine which was a perk of selecting her because we needed to keep Natasha on her daily medication regimen. We received pictures and updates daily on her food intake and outputs. We plan booking Liz again when we need a sitter.”
“Mindy is great! They’ve taken care of our pups multiple times and we’ll keep booking so long as they’re available. Great and timely communication, wonderful care, cute pics of our pups.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all energy levels, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience with cats and a variety of animals. Over the years, I've cared for everything from iguanas to ferrets and truly enjoy working with animals of all kinds. I currently work part-time, typically during the mornings, which leaves the rest of my day flexible for pet care. This allows me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I have a lifelong love of animals and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During our meet and greet, I'll take the time to learn about your pet's routine, needs, personality, and any special quirks or preferences. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care that helps your pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away.
“Cynthia took great care of our older cat during our extended vacation. Usually, we use the boarding services of our vet but since we were going to be gone for an extended period of time, we decided to use Rover. Being a bit apprehensive at first, Cynthia put us at ease during our meet and greet with her friendly demeanor while explaining to us how she would take care of our cat during her daily visits. Our cat is shy and tends to hide but Cynthia was so good with her that after a few days she was waiting at the door for her arrival. Each visit, we received detailed and thoughtful updates with pictures. Our cat received excellent care and attention from Cynthia and we would not hesitate to use her again. We highly recommend Cynthia.”
“Jeany was so great! My cat seemed to love her! She took a good amount of photos, cleaned up any messes, and had plenty of cuddle time with our gal. Next time we are away she will be my go to, if she is available that is. Thank you for giving us peace of mind Jeany.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for years and have experience with both large and small breeds. I currently help care for my two Saint Bernards and have also dog sat Australian Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and smaller dogs with my mom. As a student-athlete, I’m very active and used to maintaining routines, so I can handle walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and giving pets lots of attention and exercise. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I’m a student-athlete, so staying active and responsible is already part of my daily routine. I lift every weekday morning from 9–10am and practice from 11am–12pm, which still gives me plenty of time during the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to care for your pets. I’m used to balancing a busy schedule while caring for my own dogs, so your pets will always get attention, exercise, and reliable care. I’ve grown up around dogs and currently care for two Saint Bernards, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also helped my mom dog sit Australian Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and smaller dogs, so I’m experienced with a wide range of sizes and temperaments. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, exercised, and cared for while keeping owners updated and following any routines or instructions closely.
“Zhaoli did a great job checking in on our Winnie. She was very communicative with us throughout her 2 visits. Our girl gets very scared at first but warmed up soon to her. Zhaoli left the house in great shape as well. I would definitely recommend her. Thanks so much for taking care of Winnie while we were out!”
About: I am a teacher looking to stay busy this summer. I have a dog and 2 cats. I grew up with pets my whole life. I plan on doing this over my summer break. I will have a lot of time to spend time with animals by giving them the exercise they need. I am happy to host at our place. We have a spacious place. I love to stay active and take them out often. I can also go stop by and make sure your animals are loved!
“Lindsay is professional, courteous, and reliable. She was great with our furry babies, and it’s clear how much she loves and understands animals. We appreciated her consistent and timely updates as well as her knowledge and experience with cats. Grateful to have such an amazing pet sitter!”
About: I've been caring for pets for 8 years: for neighbors, friends, and clients found on Nextdoor. I understand how much our companions mean to us, and I'm dedicated to providing the best care possible to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of your animal. I've taken care of a variety of animals - from dogs and cats, to hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish - including young and elderly. I am comfortable with walks, administering medication, and, of course, playtime! I'm a recent college graduate still looking for a full-time job. I also have a small side gig upcycling clothing, but I will have plenty of time to look after your pet. Just reach out, and we can make something work! I will care for your pet exactly as you want me to. I try to simulate their daily routine as closely as possible to build trust with them. I do not care for pets in my own home, but I am comfortable staying overnight with your pet, with daily check-ins, and anything else needed. With daily check-ins, I try to stay for AT LEAST an hour each visit, to provide sufficient company and to take care of anything I need to. Depending on the animal's needs, I will visit 2-3 times/day.

Annalise took great care of our two cats while we were away. Our cats are shy, but only after a couple of Annalise's visits they started to come out greeting her and asking to be petted. Annalise was caring, attentive to our requests, and punctual. I would happily leave the cats in her care again.
This was our third time hiring Silvana to pet sit for us over the weekend. We couldn’t be happier with the way she takes care of our cat and pet ducks. She clearly follows all care directions, is very gentle and kind to our pets, and is dependable with great communication. Silvana consistently goes above and beyond. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Carnation on Rover is $27.2 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,860 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Carnation. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carnation. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
