“This was my first time using a pet sitting service in my home. I was nervous but Sarah eased my mind as soon as I met her. She did a great job looking in on my cat Bella. She sent me updates and pictures which was fantastic! I recommend Rover and Sarah.”
“This is our 2nd time working with Rosemary and she is fantastic! Our Pom is a handful between a medical condition and a general love of attention and she loves Rosemary and is always excited to see her.”
“We had a great experience with Sabrina and we plan to ask her help again taking care of our cats in future. She sent plenty of updates and pictures and when we came back our babies were calm as if we didn't leave.”
“Roxanna to the rescue once again! She was able to help out with another last-minute visit request and went above and beyond to help in an emergency situation. She is our go to sitter and our puppy loves her.”
“I have a Covid pup that absolutely hates boarding facilities, so Im very grateful for Vincent's time and ability to look after my princess! Easy to communicate with, sent regular updates with photos, food, water, treats, replaced her pup blankies to stay fresh and even took out the trash! Timely with check ins and also respects the home. Hope to book again in the future. Thank you!!”
“Cecilia was amazing! She was super responsive, sent a ton of pics and was able to help me out last minute when my kennel shutdown. She left my place super clean and my dog seemed super happy when I got home.”

About: I have 15 years of experience walking and boarding dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m committed to making sure your furry friend is safe, loved, and right at home. I work from home several times a week, so I have flexibility in my schedule! We have two dogs of our own and ensure that are schedules align to take the best care of our pups. We take dogs on several walks throughout the day. We do not have a fenced in yard, so we make sure to use leashes and harnesses.
About: I’ve trained a 1-year-old Doberman and lived with a Pomeranian and Shiba Inu for several years as their daily companion. I've also had a full course of private training sessions (1 on 1) with Petsmart trainer, so I am very adept at making sure your dog is comfortable and well taken care of. From feeding to playtime, I was involved in every part of their care. I have a calm, friendly energy that dogs naturally gravitate toward—it’s like magic how quickly they bond with me! I combine hands-on training experience with daily companionship, giving me insight into each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic play or gentle senior care, I adapt with ease and genuine love. Dogs don’t just tolerate me—they truly enjoy being around me. I will always take pictures and videos and send them to owners frequently, to make sure your pets are enjoying every moment with me. My wife and I like to keep a very clean house to make sure all visiting dogs have a comfortable environment.

Tori did yet another absolutely phenomenal job taking care of our cats while we were on a trip! She went above and beyond for us, was extremely communicative and our cats were sooo happy to see her again. Thank you so much! We look forward to booking with you again in the future!
Catherine was truly amazing, such a wonderful and kind person, with attention to details and amazing and funny check in cards. It made the experience of being away from our babies much easier. It was great knowing our babies were in such capable and responsible hands. I cannot recommend Catherine enough, if you’re considering leaving your babies under Catherine’s care, you are making the right decision. I’m truly grateful for choosing Catherine, and will def book again when needed.
Hannah was wonderful! Our automatic feeder wasn’t working and she was able to come over that morning to check on our babies! Thanks so much for responding right away and giving us peace of mind while we were out of town. Hannah is the best and we’d recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter who always gives our kitties lots of pets and play!
We had such a wonderful experience with Polina! She was incredibly affectionate, caring, and attentive with our dog. Our dog took an instant liking to her, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy dog sitter!
Griffin was amazing with Cooper! She took great care of him and updated me all the time with how he was and what all she was doing with him, she always was there on time to take him out which made being away from him much less stressful knowing that he was being taken care of the same way I do! Highly recommend to anyone needing a sweet caregiver to their pup!
Berea was so loving and thoughtful in taking care of our dog while we were on a trip! I had to reach out for a last-minute request, but she was so willing to be flexible and wanted to understand my dog's needs fully so she could take care of him. She sent me so many updates throughout her visit and I knew from my dog's facial expressions that he loved spending time with her! Recommend Berea!
Ben was great! He was on time for each visit, did what was asked for our pets and plants, asked questions, reported issues, and communicated about the pets throughout the week. He was tidy and even walked the dog for miles in the summer heat! I will definitely hire him again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Carpenter is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,491 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Carpenter. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.

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.
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.
