About: “What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and patience. I’ve owned and cared for my dog for over 10 years, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages. I’m skilled at potty training, keeping dogs on a routine, and making sure they stay active and well-fed. especially with my my dog passing recently. I will make it my priority to make sure others dogs are well taken care of. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m already used to caring for my own dog. I make time every day for feeding, walking, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I’m consistent with schedules, so adding another pet into my routine is no problem. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely. I stick to the pet’s normal schedule, make sure they eat on time, take them on walks, give bathroom breaks, and spend time playing or keeping them company.
“Nicole is awesome! An absolute angel. She took great care of my fur babies while staying at my house and caring for my senior dog. It is not easy to care for my senior dog but Nicole went about and beyond to make sure she got the care and attention she needs. I would absolutely book Nicole again in the future and will recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”

About: As a supervisor at the Humane Society, I tend to all of the animals in the building and ensure each employee is doing their best to provide humane care for every animal. Working at a shelter requires fast and clear communication, so updates while you’re away will come to you right away. I treat every pet as if they’re my own and do whatever I can to provide them with a safe, stress free and loving experience. I’ve had animals all my life and worked with countless medical and behavioral cases. I’m currently working full time and am available all day on Sundays and Mondays. I’m always available to sit nights. Willing to accommodate scheduling needs upon request. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. As an experienced animal handler, I’m attentive to animal behavior, stress levels, and individual needs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, medications, and supervision, while keeping a clean and secure environment at all times. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I can accommodate any needs in a client’s home. My own home is an apartment so boarding services are limited but am willing to take inquiries.

About: I have professional experience caring for dogs and cats from working in a daycare and overnight pet care environment, where I cared for pets with different personalities, ages, energy levels, and individual needs. I currently work as a dog trainer, focusing on basic obedience and helping dogs develop better everyday behaviors through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. My love for animals has always been an important part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy and feel passionate about. I believe good pet care goes beyond meeting their basic needs. It is about understanding their personality, respecting their individual needs, and making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am comfortable with daily routines including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and providing individual attention. I take the time to learn each pet's routine and personality so I can provide care that is consistent with what they are used to at home. My approach is calm, patient, attentive, and based on building trust with each animal. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and can communicate comfortably with pet parents in both languages. I work as a dog trainer, focusing on basic obedience and personalized training. For pet care, I offer overnight house sitting in the owner's home. I stay with the pet in their familiar environment, following their usual routine and providing companionship, care, exercise, meals, and attention throughout the stay. Before each booking, I like to learn about the pet's routine, personality, habits, and specific needs so I can make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Your pet's safety and well-being are my priorities. My previous experience working in a professional daycare and overnight pet care environment taught me how important it is to pay attention to each dog's routine, individual needs, and overall well-being. My current work as a dog trainer, focusing on basic obedience, has further developed my understanding of canine behavior, body language, communication, and how dogs respond to different environments and situations. When staying in a client's home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep the pet's routine as consistent as possible. I make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure and always remain attentive to the pet's safety. I also understand that staying in someone's home requires trust and respect. I treat every home with care and follow the owner's guidelines regarding their pet and their home. I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel comfortable knowing how their pet is doing while they are away. Most importantly, I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and genuine care.

About: I've owned pets since 2013 and often dogsit my friends' dogs if they're away for an event, a weekend, or even a week at a time. I lived in Barbados for 2 years, where there are dozens of stray animals roaming the streets. I took in and rehabilitated an orange cat (featured in my photos) that has been brought to the US and is happily living in NYC with her new family. I do not have any pets in my apartment at the moment- my dog, Honey, is across the country with my mom. I have so much love to give pets and enjoy spoiling pets with the attention they deserve. The qualities I have as a graduating medical student directly translate into my care for pets- being punctual, patient, and passionate. I'm a full-time medical student with a fluctuating schedule. My weekends are free for boarding, walks, etc., but weekdays depend on my schedule for the given month. Weekday work schedule typically starts at 7am, and my availability will most often start at 5pm (or earlier some days). When I am home, I integrate my pet into everything I do. I love their company on the couch, bringing them on my daily walks, and even the puppy eyes when I’m cooking. I live with my partner in a pet-friendly condominium on the 5th floor. We have a partially-fenced yard with grass surrounding the condo and a balcony with our unit. Our front door has a double key-lock, with no possibility of a pet escaping. It is a large, 2-bedroom condo with plenty of space to roam in the open-concept living room and kitchen. There's plenty of unobstructed room for pet belongings (food, toys, bedding, etc.). I do not have any other animals living in the unit, I do not have a crate, and I love animals sleeping in the room/bed with me (if owner allows).
“I am so grateful with Marina. She came home on time and was so attentive and took care of Candela as she was me. Experienced with elderly and medically compromised dog. She sent pictures and videos so I was informed about my dog at all times. Candela had a stress free time when I was away. ? Thank you, Marina”

About: I’ve been working with dogs since the age of 11 as my mom is a dog sitter back in New Jersey. I’m a very reasonable person, I enjoy dogs as I’ve always wanted one myself. I love building bonds with them like they’re my bestie and I’m excited to work with any family that connects with me. I’m currently a student at Barry University as my schedule mainly revolves from 10 am - 2 pm and after that I’m free. My weekends I’m always available. Just give me a schedule and we can figure it out. It depends as they say I’m very caring towards the animal. I love giving them attention obviously. I can give the dog water it’s medicine. I can care for anyway.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carol City
This was the second time Denis stayed with our dogs, and he was again fabulous. Our travel plans got messed up on the day we were coming home, and Denis stayed longer than he was supposed to so that he could care for Millie and Parker. I really appreciated having the peace of mind that our dogs were in good hands. Denis is great, and we would book him again for sure!

The average cost of House Sitting in Carol City is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $39 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Carol City walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Carol City maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Carol City 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
