Top rated Carp house sitters

“Wendy was amazing with our pups. We came home to happy pups and a clean home. She gave us daily reports and pics. She gave some feedback to consider. One of our pups like boundaries and she handled him very well.”


“We are new to the area so did not know anyone to ask for dog care, so I found Elliot totally organically via Rover and am glad I did. Elliot was awesome. We had him house/dog sit for us for close to a week and he was great. Very responsive and understanding when the dates of our trip got moved around. Also he was able to swing by and let the dogs out again when our flights got delayed. The dogs were happy and healthy when we got home and seem like they loved him. We will be asking (hoping) Elliot can dog sit for us again in the future.”



“My dog, Cassie, can be very wary of strangers and Tasha handled it like a pro! She sent lots of pictures, let me know what was going on with the fur babes, and left the place just as neat as it was left to her. Definitely would recommend!”


“Stephanie has been great with our two big boys! She's watched them several times and they always are happy and well taken care of!”


“I've found my forever sitter! Haley was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! My pets were very well cared for and loved playing with Haley's sweet and gentle dog, Sophie. We returned home to find happy dogs with full water bowls, the mail stacked neatly, plants watered and the floors swept up from my shedding husky. Haley was very tidy and respectful while we were gone. She sent us regular updates and pictures of our doggies. We were so happy with her services and can't wait to travel more now that we've found her!”


“Paul did a great job house sitting our reactive and skittish dog for a week while we were on vacation. Paul asked our update frequency preferences and delivered on them. Paul seems to genuinely care for Zoey's well-being and took good care of the house too. Would book again!”


“Chasity is very reliable and keeps you informed about your pet while you are away. My dog Cooper just loves her and feels very comfortable around Chasity.”

“Debbie was excellant with Ella our dog. This was the first time had been left alone with a dog sitter. I would recommend Debbie to anybody and we will use her again.”


About: I’ve taken care of fur babies for as long as I can remember. I have also volunteered at the shelter. I currently have 1 dog and 7 cats of my own that I rescued and adore. Animals have a special place in my heart. I currently work a full time job but now that my children are grown I have evening time Monday-Friday after 5:00pm and every weekend open. I can provide any and all necessary care for your pet. Feeding/watering, litter cleaning, play time, walks and administering medication if needed. I would care for them as if they were my own.

“Jaime was great with our two dogs - one old and one young. She kept me updated while we were away and we came home to 2 happy dogs. Would definitely recommend.”


“Breanna is an amazing and wonderful sitter! She went above and beyond watching my pups and kept us updated. She will definitely be my go to sitter!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have unique experience raising wolves and foxes through internships and jobs. I also worked at a vet clinic and plan to become a vet tech now that I have graduated—I'm excited to start at a new clinic soon! My background helps me handle pets of all ages and temperaments with confidence and care. I’m currently a camp counselor at Hoosier Heights Climbing Gym from 9–4 on most weekdays, but I’m available in the afternoons, evenings, and for overnight pet sitting. Depending on your location, I may also be able to stop by for a quick lunch visit if needed. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work around your pet’s routine! I tailor my care to match your pet’s routine and needs. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, playtime in the yard to burn off zoomies, or sticking to a specific feeding or medication schedule, I’m happy to follow whatever regimen keeps your pet happy and healthy. Your pet’s comfort and routine always come first!

About: I have cared for various animals ever since I was in high school. I’ve had experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles as well. I have pets of my own and love them very much, so providing the best care I can for others is my top priority! I’ve dealt with reactive dogs and aggressive cats before and know effective ways in ensuring care and safety. I have a part time job right now, so I have ample time to attend to your pet’s needs. I’ll be sure to update my calendar in advance with my schedule. I always use a leash when going outside with a dog. I don’t want to take any chances of them running away. I’ll follow any instructions you have laid out for me.

“Leah was great with my babies. We have 1 dog that is blind and diabetic. The other 2 can be a handful. She was able to handle giving shots. My babies were sad she didn’t come back. We will definitely be using Leah again”


About: Hello! My name is Nicole, and I recently moved to the Martinsville area and am reopening my pet sitting business. I’ve been providing professional pet care for dogs and cats since 2016, and my boyfriend, Evan, and I are excited to continue offering services here. We're animal people. We share our home with two senior cats and a playful young Basset Hound named Banjo. I am a nurse by profession, so I’m comfortable giving all types of medications. My boyfriend, Evan, works from home, which means there’s always someone around to give your pets undivided attention, frequent walks, and potty breaks. We're well-experienced with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. The dogs we sit in our home must be comfortable with cats and other dogs. We offer a calm, quiet environment for docile, shy, or senior dogs, and for young or active dogs, we can provide a fun and playful atmosphere. We're also comfortable reinforcing any obedience or training you've been working on, so your pet won't miss a beat. If you're looking for a safe, loving home for your pet while you're away, we'd be honored to take care of them! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. My partner and I work from home so we are here and very attentive to all pets that we board. We're familiar with basic dog training, obedience, and safety. We live on a quiet farm in a small house. The area is really quiet and not close to any main roads. We prioritize safety for our pets and boarders

About: I have been house sitting and taking care of pets throughout high school and college. I have two cats of my own. I treat any pet as if it is my own when watching them! I am free a lot of the time and can work around many different schedules. I am easy to work with and am very flexible! I play with my own cats every chance I get and make sure they have everything they could need or want. I do this with the pets I watch as well because that’s how I would want my cats taken care of!

“We had a fantastic experience with Matthew as our dog sitter while we went out to dinner to visit family in Greencastle, Indiana. He watched our two dogs for about 3.5 hours and did an excellent job. Matthew was professional, punctual, and took great care of them. He kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Both dogs were happy and well-cared for when we returned, and it was clear that Matthew genuinely loves animals. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!”


“Treasure took great care of our dogs and our house. We will definitely be reaching out to her again.”



“Aubrey is wonderful with Zero my 92 lb German Shepherd! She always arrives on time and did 2 meet and greets before to get to know him. She handles larger dogs with ease and is always aware of surroundings while walking him. Zero does not like many people. Zero warmed up to her in about 10 mins the first time, 2 mins the 2nd time and he was immediately her friend the next. This is unheard of with Zero. I am so thankful she was not intimidated and I could clearly tell the 1st time meeting her she loves dogs. She had the pack leader mentality which u need with Zero and won him over quickly. I will continue to use Aubrey she is trustworthy and dependable. She stayed at the house and treats my house as if her own. Having her watch Zero allows me to be gone without worry. I am so thankful I connected with her on Rover. She takes care of my dog just like her own. She is a top notch dog sitter!!”
