“Loved Marlenas energy when we met and that was comforting to me. She was with us a few days and when we got home, I don’t think our dogs missed us at all since they had a lot of TLC. One of our goldens has acquired much arthritis just recently and she kept us up on his position. House was kept tidy and clean..even with two goldens..we would love to have her back when needed. This was our first ROVER experience, and we were glad to give it a try!”
“Maria and her mom were very helpful caring for our dog in our home while we were away. She sent regular updates and pictures and made me feel he was very well cared for. They left our house clean and well taken care of.”
“Kelsey did a great job with our senior dog. Tons of pictures and videos to put our mind at ease. Our dog is very shy with new people but by day 2 Kelsey was her best friend. We will use Kelsey again for any future vacations.”
“Brooke took great care of our 3 month old puppy (and home) while we were away for a week, sending twice daily picture updates. The icing on the cake? She washed and folded the linens used during her stay. Would definitely recommend and will book again!”
“It is obvious Syria loves animals! She made us feel very comfortable about leaving our dog for a week. she sent updates and pictures and made us feel like we didn't have to worry at all! we will definitely invite Syria back again!”
“Rachel was prompt and responsive with meeting our pup and in communications. I would recommend Rachel and we will likely reach out to her for future stays with Domino. Thanks, Rachel!”
“Meghan has been my dog walker and recently house sat for me while I was away. She is wonderful with my dog and left my place clean & tidy. I know I can trust her and would absolutely recommend her.”
“Courtney was amazing to our three fur babies. She kept me updated regularly and sent me some sweet pics of all the dogs enjoying themselves. Would absolutely work with her again.”
“Hayli is AMAZING! She provided me updates throughout the day, each day. She asked questions when she needed to, as well. I feel 100% at ease when I’m on holiday when she watches my old beagle mutt dog. Thanks, Hayli!”
“Fantastic!!! Amazing!!! Almost scared to review - her schedule may become too packed to sit for Bodhi again :) In all seriousness, Salem was beyond attentive - sent more photos than I could have imagined- updated us regarding his meals, meds, and behaviors. His photos demonstrated how happy he was - and well cared for. Our Bodhi is a huge dog with separation anxiety and needs the "right sitter." Salem was more than right! She was perfect. Communicative, Caring, Compassionate, Complete care. Will 100% hire her again!”
“Cayla was great with my boys! I have two pups and they’re very different but she was able to connect with both of them. She sent me texts and pictures to let me know they were doing okay and I really appreciated that because I worry a lot. She was really wonderful and I have already booked her again for a weekend in March!”
“Shannon is great! She is super responsive and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She also sent me updates and photos while I was gone. Will book Shannon again in the future!”
“I can't say enough positive things about Oksana (and her fiance' Dev). We've used quite a few sitters over the years and Oksana is one of our favorites. She's trustworthy, prompt, on top of communication, and best of all my dog Teddy absolutely loves her. I've already booked the next stay with her!”
“Camille was a wonderful sitter for our pups. She was punctual, polite and so caring. She was flexible with her schedule which helped us out big time when our flights were delayed. We loved all of the updates and pictures throughout our trip. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Maria was great! She showed up on time and followed our instructions perfectly. She even gave our pups their respective medication. When we got home they were relaxed and calm just how we like them!”
“Aline was outstanding with my elderly baby. He's practically blind and she did everything to make him feel safe and comfortable. She stayed in my home with him. He connected with her from the very beginning. She perfectly gave him his medicines (pills and liquids), she made sure he wore a diaper at night and when she was away. And she gave him all the snuggles he wanted. She looked after my Max perfectly and I will definitely book her again!”
About: This is like a dream come true, my love for dogs and animals in general started with my first dog named Prince! He was so loveable. He’d come up to you and hug like a human! He was trained by me and loved to just be around family! That’s how all my dogs are and even dogs of family and friends. Thanks for stopping by look forward to taking care of your fur baby Work from home so I have plenty of time for walks and play time. I enjoy it because it’s more time to have fun and enjoy the outdoors Every member of the family is different. Each one has its own personality. So feel free to let me know what makes them happy! That’s my goal!
“You will not find a more loving person to watch your pets than Leslie. We received daily photos / videos and updates with any concerns. Leslie stayed in our home and when we returned it was so tidy, there was not even any dog hair on the floor! I appreciate how caring Leslie was for our dog and how considerate of a house sitter she was. We hope Leslie will sit for us again in the future! 🙂”
About: Over 20 years of experience of dog walking pet sitting - from puppies to older pups. Currently working towards certification to become a veterinary assistant :) I'm a teacher so I have plenty of time to hang out, play, and walk your pets during the late afternoon and early evenings. During the school year I'm often available on Weekends and holidays. I am currently not hosting pets in my home as I have a grumpy senior dog prone to seizures if overly excited. At your home, I will follow any rules or boundaries that you set in place :)
The median cost per night for house sitting in Carpenter is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carpenter
We were very happy with the care Brooke gave Bode while we were away! He has a specific routine and medication schedule, and she handled everything really well. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Brooke also went above and beyond by cleaning up and leaving our house in great shape, which was so nice to come home to. Bode was happy and well cared for, and we would definitely book with Brooke again!

Owen did an amazing job watching our house and our dog, Oliver, for 5 days. He was incredibly kind, highly complimentary, and took fantastic care of everything. We returned to a happy pup and a perfectly kept home. We highly recommend Owen to anyone looking for a reliable, sweet, and trustworthy sitter!"
Anna has watched my dog Lulu twice and has done a wonderful time each visit. My dog can be somewhat shy and does better when sitters stay with her to give her time to warm up. Anna was great at working with me to figure out the best schedule and time my dog needed to feel comfortable. Looking forward to booking Anna again!
Our dog loves Kyle. Our family went on a 17-day international trip and had Kyle house sit our 5 month puppy Wooloo. Wooloo loved Kyle a lot. The house was kept clean and everything where they should be. We received pictures every day which made our mind at ease during the whole trip. We are so thankful!
Polina was absolutely amazing with our almost 5-month-old puppy, Sadie! She stayed with her for a full week and took such great care of both our dog and our home. She was incredibly attentive, kept us updated with frequent messages and lots of pictures, and made it so easy for us to relax while we were away. It was clear Sadie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring dog sitter—we would definitely book with her again!
Taylor did a wonderful job with my pup! She’s punctual and attentive, with very a calm and friendly demeanor which helped keep my dogs emotions balanced while I was away. She was mindful of my dogs schedule and remembered her medications. I came back to a very clean apartment and a happy dog. I highly recommend Taylor!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
