“Amy is the best dog sitter we could have asked for. I pride myself on how much I take my dogs on adventures but Amy even surpassed what I do for my own dog! Amy took my dog on numerous wonderful adventures while sending me amazing pictures from their adventures. When Amy left she left a gorgeous hand drawn picture of our dog. I recommend Amy to anyone with a pet that they like and want to leave in good hands. 5 stars. A+ dog sitting! Will hire again!”
“Highly recommend Kevin! He is so knowledgeable and incredibly attentive, really appreciate him sharing his observations and tips and tricks with Millie today. She was instantly comfortable with him. He did a wonderful job caring for her, keeping her engaged and also following our routines. We would definitely use Kevin in the future.”
About: Currently working from home full time! I own a 4 year old shihtzu terrier named Cooper. He’s a super friendly little guy who gets a long with basically any dog. On my free time I enjoy taking my dog to dog parks and interacting with other dog owners. I have experience handling all types of dogs and sizes. Seeing a dog's tail wag super fast is one of my joys! Aside from working and loving dogs, I do enjoy being a foodie and eating at the newest hot spots that open up. Let me know if there is anything else you need to know about me! Working from home full time so I can drop in to walk your dog during the day time if needed! Otherwise usually available weekends as well. I live in a apartment complex on the first floor so there is some room for your dog to roam around. There is also a dog park nearby.
“Trina is amazing! For our first time with her, she made us feel like we were leaving our fur baby with a family member. She gave us consistent updates each day, asked us questions, and made sure to meet us and our dog days before the scheduled sitting. Kind and thoughtful, we recommend Trina to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Mai was great with our dogs. I am glad I found Mai so we could have a peace of mind when we travel. She communicated well and was realiable. She also left our house neat and clean. We will definitely get her services again.”
“Taylor was great from the start. We booked her services more than a month ahead, but she was kind enough to meet Juno one more time before the sit to to make Juno comfortable. During the sit there was a minor incident, but Taylor took utmost care by immediately rushing to the vet and spent a long time patiently waiting there to make sure Juno was all right. She would take Juno for long walks daily as she's an energetic dog while sending us photos and videos to keep us updated. She also took good care of the house and cleaned up the kitchen and bedroom in the end for us to return to a clean house. I would highly recommend Taylor to anyone requiring dog sitting services.”
About: I absolutely adore animals. I've grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have two cats at home. Previously experienced with caring for my senior dog who had CKD. I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats of different sizes and temperaments as I'm currently working as a vet assistant and studying to be an RVT. I recognize that every pet parent has their individualized way of caring for their pet and I strive to support that. Your furry kid means a lot and you should feel confident and comfortable with their care. I currently work 4 day weeks, 10 hours a day. I have three days throughout the week and nights after work that are available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting. I do my best to maintain a safe environment, staying aware of harmful materials, chemicals or products that a pet could get into. Removing or storing these items safely to avoid any negative exposure. Especially for young pets (and labs) that will eat anything.
“Aurora was truly a gift having her dog-sit our precious girl Sadie. She was caring, responsive, gave many updates throughout the long weekend and made me feel at ease while I was away knowing that my dog was in good hands. Thank you Aurora. You are top on my list for future dog-sitting needs.”
“Jenny was absolutely amazing. She came over for a meet and greet and brought both the cats and dogs treats. They instantly loved her. She is very responsive and very good with animals. My two dogs and two cats sat at the door after she left waiting for her to come back. She sends daily updates and took such great care of all of my four-legged kids. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants their animals to be well cared for. Thanks again Jenny!”
About: I've trained puppies in my younger years and understand the importance of consistency and play for your fur babies at all ages. My own pets are my family and I will care for yours like I care for my own. I'm part of the illustrious layoffs in the corporate world and looking to stay active while I search for my next career. I started on this app as a customer and now looking to bring my skills to other families. I like to treat pets as individuals and build trust with them at their own pace. I treat your home as I do my own and like to learn each pets unique personality and adapt my way of interacting accordingly.
“Tori was absolutely wonderful. Our dog is very skittish and does not warm up to people easily, but within minutes of meeting Tori, she was affectionate and clearly comfortable. Tori was incredibly responsive, responsible, proactive, attentive, and respectful throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated, took amazing care of our dog, and treated our home with real care. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing both our dog and house were in such capable hands. We cannot recommend Tori highly enough and are already planning to book her again to stay at our house when we travel later this summer.”
“Wendy was wonderful. She cared for Bentley as if he was her own. I received daily text updates along with pictures and videos. It look about a day and a half for a Bentley to get comfortable but it sounded like they became the best of friends. I hope to have her stay again as she made us feel very comfortable leaving him in her care.”
“Su took great care of my senior dog. She provided regular updates, asked questions when not sure and patiently took him on walks. She left my house in the same shape I left it in. When I got home my dog did not complain one bit which is a first for him :).”
“Francis did great! We have a reactive dog that doesn't do well with new people. He did great with Francis. We got lots of updates while we were away, came home to a clean house and detailed notes. We would definitely book again in the furture.”
About: Hi! My name is Natalia but I go by Nat. I’ve been caring for dogs for about 7 years and have three dogs of my own. I’ve raised them since they were puppies, so I’m experienced with feedings, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and sticking to their routines. I understand every pet has different needs, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I treat every pet as my own and will always do my best for them and their owners! I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care most of the week. I work as a swim instructor on Thursdays from 6 5:30p.m.-8:15p.m. , and Saturdays from 10:30 a.m.-1:15 a.m., as well as Mondays and Wednesday from 4:30pm-8:15pm, but I’m avaible after and before these hours. I’m happy to accommodate to walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting around my work schedule, and I’ll ensure your pet gets plenty of attention and care! If there is any case of a same day booking, I am sometimes able to take it! Your pets safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow all instructions carefully including eating habits/schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special requests. I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while your away.
About: I have had pets all my life. Puppies, kittens, dogs, cats, hamsters, fish and birds. I recently retired from my day job and a mom to two black labs and fish. I love walking my dogs daily, playing with them and rubbing their bellies! I aim to provide the best love and attention to your pets while in my care. I am retired and have availability to care for your pet. My schedule allows me to check in on your pets, go for walks and playtime. While in your home, I will give your pet the love and attention they deserve. Whether its walks, belly rubs and/or playtime they will have my full attention.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 18. I also helped my grandparents deliver , and give immunizations to new dog litters. I also had to help train them prior to them being sent to their new homes. I have dog sit seniors dogs and puppies. I have a huge trail behind my house for some outdoor play and walking and a downstairs balcony in my townhome as well. I own 3 cats as well! Have experience with cat medication , and care . I’m currently available weekend and holidays! I am an Animal Vivarium Manager and can work pet care mostly during those times. However if a week day is needed I can definitely fit that in and work my schedule around it :) I have a fenced patio for playing and a huge hiking trail behind my house with two parks. My current cars are indoor cars but I also let them play on the balcony from time to time for fresh air and outside play.

This was our first time working with Mila and she was such a pleasure to work with! Her communication was on point and she made sure to send us pictures everyday. We are very sad that she will be moving, but we hope she moves back so Kiki can see her friend again!
Mariane took wonderful care of my dog, Linus, over the Fourth of July weekend. Like many dog owners, I was especially concerned about the fireworks and how he would handle them. Throughout his four-day stay, Mariane sent thoughtful updates with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Linus was understandably a little scared during the fireworks, but seeing how patient, comforting, and attentive she was reassured me that he was in the best hands. It was clear he felt safe, loved, and genuinely cared for. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I’m incredibly grateful for the love and attention Mariane gave him. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Linus again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and dependable dog sitter.
Alex was absolutely wonderful with our three animals (two dogs and a cat) and we couldn't recommend him more highly! He was attentive, communicative, and clearly a natural with pets. He went above and beyond in so many ways: he took our dogs on an extra walk after dinner, and when our senior dog got tired, he thoughtfully brought her home to rest while keeping our younger pup out to burn more energy. That kind of awareness and care for each animal's individual needs really stood out to us. He sent plenty of updates throughout the day which gave us total peace of mind, and when we got home the house was just as clean as we left it. All three animals loved him, which says everything. We'll definitely be booking Alex again!
I would give a million stars for Nyah if I could. She took amazing care of our anxious little pup giving us 5 blissful days away with the utmost peace of mind that Hope was in great hands. Nyah is so communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. She went above and beyond in so many ways. We are eternally grateful.
Taylor did an amazing job caring for our 15-year-old dog, Jake. She was always on-time, responds quickly to messages, and kept us updated while we were away. Jake is slow to walk at his age, and Taylor was so patient and gentle with him every step of the way. We truly appreciate her kindness and reliability, and we would absolutely trust her with Jake again.
Felicia is professional, compassionate, and adored by my border collies! She spent a rainy week watching my home and pups, and I came home to an immaculate house and clean pups. Not sure how she did it, but she was excellent. I can't wait to work with her again. - Chris
Left for almost four days out of state for my brother wedding. Bella took good care of my animals while I was gone, and would recommend to anyone looking for animal care. She stayed in my home with them, and everything was clean and animals were happy. Nova is a large dog ~100lbs and doesn’t appear she had any troubles with her. Would look to rebook if I ever had the need again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Carpenter on Rover is $58.83 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 9,591 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carpenter. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Carpenter 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 Carpenter 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 Carpenter 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
