“Luella took really good care of my two cats. Her visit notes were very detailed. She took extra care to look for the cats to make sure they were okay. She also went the extra step to clean up their messes. Her communication is excellent and I could tell she has a lot of love and affection for animals. I would book her again.”

About: I am a responsible, caring animal lover with many years of personal experience looking after pets. Before moving to the United States, I had different animals throughout my life. They were always part of my family. I have cared for animals through every stage of life, from birth to old age, including during illness and at the end of their lives. These experiences taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of paying attention to each animal’s individual needs. I truly miss having animals in my everyday life, and I would love to help you care for yours. I will follow your instructions carefully and give your pet kindness, attention, and companionship. I currently work only on Tuesdays and Fridays, so I am available on the other days of the week. I offer drop-in visits to care for your pets in your home, as well as dog walking. I would be happy to give your pets care, attention, and companionship while you are away. During home visits and walks, I will follow your care and safety instructions carefully. I will respect your home, make sure doors and gates are securely closed, and keep your dog on a leash during walks. Please share any special needs so I can provide attentive care.

About: With over six years of hands-on experience in animal care, I bring professional, knowledgeable care to every pet I look after. I have worked in veterinary hospitals and pet boarding facilities, where I’ve been trusted to administer medications, monitor health, and respond calmly to pets’ individual needs. Alongside my clinical background, I also bring strong customer service experience—so pet parents can expect clear communication, reliability, and peace of mind every step of the way. Most importantly, I truly love animals and believe great care should be both safe and fun. Whether it’s medication time, playtime, or cuddle time, your pet will be cared for like family (with plenty of tail wags and happy purrs included). I am currently a full-time student. I have the availability to work around your schedule as you need. I am flexible, and willing to work. I care for pets in my home based on the way you would in yours. I desire to create a seamless transition into a new environment for your pet, allowing for max comfortability. I am very flexible with routines, and desire nothing more than to form long lasting connections with my clients and their furry (or scaly) friends!

About: Hi!! I’m Pamela and I’m currently a student pilot looking to spend my free time with fur babies! I have 2 of the sweetest 2 year old kitties at home, worked at a vet clinic for a little over 2 years and have experience with all kinds of pets except reptiles. I know how to administer vaccines, subcutaneous IV fluids and medications. I love to go on walks and do drop in visits. I bring churus for cats as treats as well as yummy doggie treats but of course just let me know if they are allergic to anything🤍 You may rest assured your furry bestie has the proper care they need and I may sneak in a little hugs and kisses !! I’m a student pilot based at home and have a very flexible schedule. I travel almost every month so I will make sure to keep my schedule up to date on days I am unavailable! I do not offer doggy day care in my home but since I do drop in visits I bring toys and treats for your fur babies ! Also every fur baby is different in feeding schedules so just let me know what your routine is and I will more than happy to accommodate.

About: Hello! I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, and other small pets my whole life. I’ve had dogs of all sizes, from small terriers to massive chow and pitbull mixes. While my family still has dogs and cats that I care for at times, in my own home I currently have 3 small rabbits! They are dwarf holland lops, fully litter box trained and friendly with people and dogs (less so with cats). As a child I took horse riding lessons and learned to properly care for horses in their stables, and have also cared for friends’ geckos and tortoises. I love all animals and am excited to help care for yours! I work full-time as a scientist, with flexible availability Monday through Friday for drop-ins on your pets. I am available all day on weekends! While my home is not open to additional pets at this time, I can accommodate any specific needs or routines your pets have in your home or neighborhood!

She made an extra effort to keep Leia comfortable and engaged, even bringing along toys for them to play with. Leia warmed up to her very quickly, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would be happy to have Xueying care for Leia regularly and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy pet sitter.”

About: I got my first dog, Cookie, in 2017, but I had birds and fish as pets prior. I took care of most of the toys, treats, food and vet care for him. He is now around 11 and although I've moved out of the family home, I'm helping my parents transition him to senior care level: watching out for his joints and diet mostly. I've since moved in with my partner who has a 4 year old Corgi. He is a friendly, but high energy pup who would benefit from having other dogs around to play with. I sometimes dog sit my family dog with the corgi, so I am well versed in juggling puppy energy and training alongside senior care. I have a hobby photography background, so expect photo updates of your fur babies! AVAILABLE Thanksgiving Day/Black Friday weekend! 11/26-11/29 I'm currently mostly available on weekends (Fri, Sat, Sun) and holidays. Only looking to board/daycare one dog at a time right now, just so I don't overwhelm my own dog. May increase to more than one in the future! Mon-Thurs Availability: Daycare/House sitting - None. Boarding - Dropoff after 5pm Drop in visits, dog walking - Nights only, 8pm onwards. Fri/Sat/Sun Availability: Usually free all day for all offered services. Message to confirm. We have basic grooming equipment, if needed, to file nails, shave paw pads, and brush out fur. Weekends, I am able to spend more time with pets, like go on longer walks and visit pet friendly places (if you're ok with that). I have a fenced yard with grass/concrete area and an energetic Corgi for your dog to play with! I'm very respectful in others' homes and will strive to leave everything the way I found it or better. I am super organized and love relying on making to-do lists to keep track of all my tasks and responsibilities. I have a whiteboard dedicated for this at my home, but use my phone when I'm outside or in other's homes. I'm open to both crate-trained and not crate-trained dogs. For cats, I make sure the litterbox is always clean and try to play with them if they want. Additionally, I'm always mindful of entering and leaving homes, in case a pet makes an escape attempt through the open door. I'm very detail-oriented, have great communication skills, and take great notes. So I make sure I know exactly the type of care you want for your pet!

About: I grew up around animals and have always loved caring for them. I have experience caring for neighbors’ dogs and currently work part-time with a pet care company, where I help with walking and caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and bilingual in English and Spanish. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I’d give my own! ❤️ I work remotely part-time for a pet care company and make my own schedule, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’m excited to offer my own services as well and spend even more time caring for pets. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and their parent’s instructions closely. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled safely, and I’m happy to do a meet and greet beforehand. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and cared for.

About: Cats will always be my favorite, but I absolutely love animals! I have watched friend’s and family’s dogs and cats over the years, either dropping in, house sitting or bringing them home with me. Play time is always the best time! I can do it any day of the week as long as I am in town. All of my jobs are at will, so I am able to choose when I want to work which makes me very flexible! I just recently moved back to the bay area from Texas and I am ready to help with your fur babies. Unfortunately I do not have my own house anymore, I live with a friend so I am unable to accept boarding requests. I can definitely come check on your fur babies or house sit any time though!

Han is super detailed oriented and took great care of Penfield and Dooby while we were away. She came before we left and took notes on the food, water and litter boxes preference for the two cats. While we were away, she came to take care of the cats, fill them with food and clean the little boxes with no dust outside. She also took a lot of photos and videos for our cats and reported any potential issues. I highly recommend Han as an amazing cat sitter!

Yilian (Grace) was absolutely wonderful during her drop-in visits! She was incredibly accommodating with my last-minute request and happily agreed to check in on my babies. She was kind, attentive, and thorough in following all of my instructions, and she provided excellent updates and documentation throughout her visits. I especially appreciated the photos and videos she sent, which gave me peace of mind and let me see how my babies were doing while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter, and I’ll absolutely be booking with her again in the future!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Carpenter on Rover is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 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.

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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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 , 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.
