“Stephanie did a great job watching Jax. She was able to come on short notice and kept me updated even with concerns involving my home. I loved all the pictures she took that showed me he was enjoying himself while in her care. I would definitely use her again for future needs.”

About: I love taking care of dogs of all shapes and sizes. My Rottweiler recently passed away and I am looking to continue caring for animals outside of my own. A number of people have trusted me with walking their dogs, housing their dogs and kitties, and even bathing them. I’m happy to help you next! I am a work from home student, so I will have all of the time in the world to give your pet-child all of the attention in the world! Although my yard is not fenced, I live in a safe neighborhood and will never take my eyes off of your pet. I will always keep their leash with me, seat belt secured, and doors locked.

“Lisa did a fabulous job with our dog. We were away for a week and used Lisa during the second half of the week. We knew our dog was very stressed and anxious and warned Lisa she would be in for a challenge. Lisa really went above and beyond to make my dog feel safe and to help her blow off some stream. Lisa sent lots of updates and a ton of pictures. I would happily use Lisa again!”

About: I have had cats and dogs in my house since before I could walk and have been actively caring for them for nearly as long. I have two cats of my own now, 5 and 4, (my dog, almost 20, recently passed) that are my pride and joy. Caring for animals has been a staple of my life; I can’t wait to meet your babies and give them the best care too! I have a bit of a variable schedule between part time work as a barista, but for sitting stays I would never be away for more than 8 hours in any given day. I take college classes online but that can be done anywhere that I can access the internet, meaning I can be with your fur baby for more quality time! I have two cats of my own that I feed a mixed diet of wet and dry food twice a day, so I know attention to detail is a priority when caring for your fur baby! With that said, I can have my roommate feed my boys while I’m on overnight jobs, meaning I have more time to provide top quality care for your fur baby.

About: Our house always had fishes, dogs, birds, guinea pigs or rabbits growing up. Being an only child I grew up watching National Geographic channel and always brought home a stray dog or a random animal I found. Needless to say when I became an adult I was constantly volunteering at dog shelters and always dog sitting my friends dogs or my neighbors pets. I love showering dogs with affection but I am also strict when it comes to following rules and setting boundaries. I rescued my dog when he was only 2 weeks old and have bottle fed him, researched his breed and trained him accordingly. I like to do activities according to the dog’s breed, personality and energy level. I am currently a full time grad student commuting from MD-DC, so I am fully available during the weekends and evenings to shower your fur babies with love and care! I have a friendly 2 year old dog and own 1 med sized crate and 1 large sized crate if needed. I also own a self powering treadmill for dogs as well if your baby does not like the rain but still want to run. I drive an suv that is equipped with dog covers in the back seat for the dogs to lay down and enjoy car rides.

About: I’ve taken care of several dogs over the past 10 years. I currently have a 3 year old aussiedoodle that I’ve had since he was 8 weeks old. I absolutely love dogs and will treat your dog just like my little fur baby! I currently work from home, so I am very flexible during the week. My weekends are almost always free, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your fur baby! I have house trained my dog, so I have no need for a cage. I have play time and plenty of walks. My dog mainly prefers snuggle time

About: Whether you’re traveling for work or just need a helping hand, I provide trustworthy and loving dog sitting in a safe environment. With reliable communication, updates, and plenty of care, your pup will feel comfortable, happy, and well looked after. I work part-time from home, and my husband also works from home. We have 3 kids who are in school, and love animals as much as we do - so your pets are guaranteed lots of snuggles! We have a fenced-in yard with one indoor/outdoor cat, Molly. We offer lots of yard play time, and walks throughout the pet-friendly neighborhood. Molly is used to other animals being around, but can easily enjoy some time in our finished basement, should they have any issues getting along.

About: Rates are negotiable! I have grown up around dogs and have always loved caring for and spending time with them. I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and finding activities that match their individual needs and energy levels. I'm comfortable with dogs of different sizes and breeds and understand the importance of approaching and caring for every animal with patience, awareness, and respect. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in care, companionship, or overnight care in the comfort of their own home, I want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I especially love getting dogs out for adventure time! Whether that means a long walk, exploring a hiking trail, visiting new places, or enjoying their favorite activity, I love making our time together fun and engaging. I work full-time and am in the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, as well as either Monday or Thursday depending on the week. My availability varies around my work schedule, but I am available for morning and evening care, weekends, and other arrangements depending on timing. I'm always happy to discuss your pet's needs and see if we can find something that works! I do not currently offer boarding or care in my own home, but I'm happy to care for your pet in the comfort of their home. I work full-time, with a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care around my workday. I work from the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, as well as either Monday or Thursday depending on the week. I'm available for morning and evening care, weekends, and can work with pet parents to find a schedule that fits their needs. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when their routine is understood and respected. When caring for your pet in your home, I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I always prioritize safety, pay attention to each pet's body language and needs, and treat your home and pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

About: I have always found comfort in having animals around me, when I was younger I loved digging in the dirt and looking through the potato bugs. My grandmother always had 2 dogs in the house… labs, Brittany’s, and now two mutts.. She also had parakeets that she let fly around the house before she got hunting dogs. My mom and I lived in apartments and we always had cats, I loved taking the time to learn all of their individual personalities and gain their trust. I have helped with kitten and puppy training for friends and family. I also have reptile experience- I have cared for iguanas and now my son and I have 2 pet geckos named Kenny and Copper. I currently work part time for my fiancés business so I have a lot of time on my hands to take care of your pets needs! I live in a very nice condo complex with a beautiful trail right behind the building, it perimeters the woods, there’s also a ton of walking trails around me to take your pups on new adventures. I have cleaned homes before, I have been the pet sitter and the house sitter as long as there are instructions I can follow easily and daily. I want to spend my weekends strengthening my bond with animals and providing help to anyone who needs it. My son (Roman) is 6 and very good with all kinds of animals he is very in touch with nature and understands to give plenty of space and time. Providing him with this experience by helping to care for animals and the life around you at such a young age is beautiful to me.

About: I have experience taking care of a border collie, Australian Shepard, and a German Shepard. I enjoy walking around the city and always open to a companion or two joining me. I am able to host dogs at my place, with my German Shepard. I have a fully fenced in yard that all dogs can play in, and I can walk them around my neighborhood. I am also able to do drop in visits for dogs or cats and stop by to walk any dogs. I normally travel for work 3 days a week. When not traveling I am either working from home or have local visits. I plan out my visits so that any pets staying with me will not go longer than 4 hours alone. I will allow all dogs to roam freely while I’m at home and take a break to play with them, and my dog, for about 10 minutes every hour. It gets boring sitting in front of a computer. For any walks or drop ins the time is spent making sure they get plenty of stimulation. Whether it’s walking a new route or playing in the yard I have a fenced in back yard. No other dogs or animals get in the yard, except a squirrel or two. When walking in my neighborhood there is minimal traffic since it has no way for cars to go through it( a lot of dead end streets). I’m close to 695 so if an emergency happens I can get to many vets in the area fast.

Maria is very positive, grounded, and kind. She is attentive to my border collie, Lucy, who has takes 2 types of seizure medication and has a very gentle and shy personality. Because of the concerns with her health, Maria is very good about responding to texts. She is very good about letting me know Lucy's activities as well as sending photos. There is a peace of mind when I leave Lucy with Maria. I'm grateful for her attention to details and her loving care. I'll be asking for Maria's help again.

Sonia was incredible! This was our first time ever using Rover and she made us feel comfortable and safe about leaving our cats in someone else’s capable hands. My oldest cat required medication and can be very shy, but he warmed up to her quickly. She was quick to respond to any messages and proactive in the care she provided. I am happy to use her services again in the future!

Second time my wife and I have used Jennifer to sit our cats while out-of-town. It was only a couple days, but a hospital stay went longer than planned so we had to add on another night and morning; she handled the booking for us and came back over to feed them and do the litter - her help make a stressful trip a bit easier.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Carney on Rover is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,904 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Carney. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , 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 Carney. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
