“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sriya house sat for my dog June and was absolutely amazing with her. She sent frequent updates and photos that really put my mind at ease. June clearly felt comfortable and well cared for. Sriya even went the extra mile and brushed her, which was such a thoughtful touch! I’m so grateful for the peace of mind and will definitely book with Sriya again. Highly recommend!”

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 :)
“Lily took wonderful care of my babies while I was away! She sent lots of updates and pictures, followed my lengthy instructions wonderfully, and even ensured my senior kitty with CKD got all of her medications on time and without issues. She was very respectful of my home and left it in great condition for me to return to. I felt at peace knowing my babies were in great hands, and will definitely be using Lily for my future trips!”
“Hallie was very professional, and very passionate towards my dog, very caring. She took excellent care of Apollo. And my dog felt very comfortable around her. She even came earlier than I asked her to, to make sure my dog went outside and was taken care of. She took excellent care of my house and was very respectful of it.”
“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!”
“Leslie is amazing! My dog and cat adore her (and my cat does not adore most humans!) and she took such great care of them. She also sent so many adorable photos and frequent updates with their shenanigans. In the past trips were always stressful because we worried about our pets, but now that we have found Leslie, that concern has disappeared!!!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic. She is new to Rover, but is certainly not new to taking care of dogs. She did a great job taking care of our dog, oso. She was very attentive to his needs and made sure he had a great time while we were away. She took extraordinary care of our house and was a very clear and transparent communicator the entire time. We sent her detailed instructions, and she clearly read all of them and followed through. 100% will use again. Highly recommend!”
“Olesia was amazing! She took such good care of our Lucy and gave us so many updates and pictures throughout. We were nervous since Lucy is quite anxious with new people but she very quickly warmed up to Olesia. She was an amazing house guest and took great care of everything. Her help allowed us to destress about leaving our dog behind because we knew Lucy was in great hands. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”
“A++++! Perfect house and dog sitter for a long weekend. Great communicator! We always knew how things were going while we were out of the country. Went above and beyond to get comfortable with our dog and make our dog comfortable.”
“Paris was very responsive to my questions, comments, and requests. I appreciated the care she gave my dogs. They are pretty independent but having someone there to keep them company and watch the house while I am gone gives me peace of mind while I am traveling.”
“Outstanding sitter who saved us after a last minute cancellation from our other sitter. She was thorough, thoughtful, caring, communicative, and left the place super tidy. We can’t recommend highly enough.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carpenter
Our previous sitter had watched our dogs for over 10 years, but she wasn't able to take on our cat when we adopted Mabel, so we had to find someone new and that's never an easy transition, especially since we work from home most days and they aren’t used to being left without us around. Brooke made it much easier than we expected. She sent multiple updates and photos each day, which meant we always knew Louis, Leo, and Mabel were happy, fed and settled. She was clearly comfortable with both dogs and cat, which was exactly what we needed. We came home to three relaxed pets and zero stress on our end. Highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking for a sitter.
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!
Kristin was exceptional! She really cared about the wellbeing and safety of our three dogs. It is such a relief to have someone you can trust and depend on so that we could fully our vacation. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants a dog sitter who takes care of your dogs like her own.
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!
Marlena was great with Maddie. This was our first experience leaving our dog with someone other than family and it went great. Maddie was well taken care of by Marlena. She sent us updates and pictures during her stay, which we really appreciated. We will definitely be requesting Marlena again!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Carpenter on Rover is $44.4 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 3,088 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.
