“Emberly was spectacular. She helped us out with very short notice, taking care of three dogs that can get pretty rowdy. She handled our sick puppy with the care, love, and affection Dottie needed, even though Emberly didn’t know until the night before how much specialized care Dottie would need. My wife and I greatly appreciate Emberly’s help, and we would definitely use her again.”
“Madelyn was wonderful with my dog and 2 cats. The house was all in great condition when I arrived back home. She sent pic updates during her stay and was easy to follow up with. I will be rebooking her again!”
“Ava was great with my kitten. She's pretty young and needed extra attention and Ava was a great companion for her. Would absolutely use her in the future.”
“Madison was great with our dogs! She communicated often with updates and sent lots of photos and videos. My boys seemed to have a great time with her which allowed me to relax and enjoy our vacation. Will absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Kam was such a blessing to us! She was caring and attentive and affectionate to my furry friends and went above and beyond for everyone even when she didn't have to. She booked with us last minute and put up with so many directions and last minute changes and surprises. I can't say enough about her. Thank you so much Kam. 🙏🙏🙏❤️”
“Penny took amazing care of my Nala. Sent pictures every day, which made me feel so much better about leaving her while I went away. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect person to take care of my fur baby. I would recommend Penny for anyone who’s looking for a pet sitter.”
“This was Charity's first visit and it was an overnight. I had a LOT of instructions because 1 of my dogs hates one of the other ones, and they need to be separated/rotated, etc. She handled it like a pro! She checked in and and sent pics. I appreciate her professionalism.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds: From puppies to seniors, energetic to couch potatoes and everything in between!! I’m great with set schedules such as: walks, feedings, meds (if needed), any special commands or routines of sorts. I am guaranteed to have tail wagging reviews!! I’m currently transitioning into a new job, however weekdays I can be available after 3:30pm, as well as weekend open availability for overnights or drops or even just walks. Whatever you need I’d be happy to help you! I do not have the space at my own place for dogs or cats to stay. However I do have reliable transportation to get me to your home and tend to your fur baby!! I am great with any schedules left for me to follow as well as locking up prior to leaving.
About: Hi! Thank you checking out my profile and trusting me with your pets. I have been surrounded by animals and helped care for them all my life. I grew up on a farm so I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I’m currently a full time college student so I am available in the mornings and evenings to care for your pets, and all day on Thursdays, Saturday’s and Sundays. I have 3 cats that I care for in my home. I make sure to feed, water and play with them daily. When taking care of other people’s pets I will care for them as if they were mine.
“Took very good care of my five cats, including my senior diabetic cat, who she gave insulin to. My cats responded well to her immediately and were drawn to her and comfortable approaching on our meet and greet. She reached out to me immediately when one cat was hiding during her first visit and I appreciate the realtime communication when an issue arose. We arrived back home after 3 days and my babies were happy and healthy. Will definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: I enjoy playing and spending time with animals! My abilities extend from being able to go on long walks with energetic dogs, to simply providing comfort and affection to quiet cats. With my family owning many different rescue animals of our own, I have a lot of experience in caring and cleaning up after pets. I am currently on summer break, so I am able to stop by at almost any hour of any day! I have my own car, and should be free for most weeks of summer! For my cats I feed them wet food every night and scoop their litter. Alongside the litter, I often clean, sweep, and sometimes mop if needed for accidents. As for my dog, I try to walk him daily, and play with him every day during his hyper moods. We also try to visit the dog park often! I do have some experience in crafting together specialized meals for specific dietary needs.
“Kaelin was wonderful with our 3 special needs cats. She sent me updates every day, bonded with our skittish girl, and left the house in good order! We will absolutely be keeping her in mind for future trips!”
“Mackenzie and Adam did a wonderful job watching our two dogs while we were on family vacation! After failing at finding onboarding that we were comfortable with we decided to have someone stay at the house and we made a great choice! We felt very confident that they would do just fine in Mackenzie and Adam's care and we were right! We came home to a clean home and happy pups :) You won't regret choosing them either! Thank you so much Mackenzie and Adam! We appreciate you both ☺️”
About: I have taken care of a vast majority of pets but mostly cats and dogs. I have watched over many dog breeds especially ones with certain medical needs I am currently an online only student so I have plenty of free time to offer clients for those pets that need it.

“Our dogs and our home were well cared for while we were gone. Lenny came to meet the dogs twice before we left, so they would know and be comfortable with her. Even our most nervous dog took to her immediately. We were very relaxed knowing everything was in capable hands.”
“Isabella was so wonderful!! She was easy to work with, great communication, sent updates & pics and took such great care of my pup while I was out of town. She was so considerate of our home & we look forward to having her back!”

I highly recommend Justin as your fur baby sitter! He was here on time. He took amazing care of our two little fur babies. He let them outside and played with them. They were given lots of attention. He also respected our home. He is super friendly and trustworthy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,358 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carroll. 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 Carroll 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 Carroll 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 Carroll 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.
