We don’t leave her often so I was nervous, but Kirtley made us feel very comfortable knowing our girl was taken care of. Highly recommend and we will definitely ask Kirtley to help us out again!”

About: Ive been taking care of dogs all my life, i have experience administering oral medication, feeding pets on specific schedules, bathing pets, taking large and small dogs on walks, and I have experience finding vets and getting pets there quick in case of emergency! I do not start school until the fall, so I have a very flexible schedule! I can help with daily tasks like walking or feeding the animal! I give pets constant attention and care! I've grown up with very clingy puppies, so I'm used to giving animals all my attention! I'm also used to following specific schedules for the animal! (i.e. food, walking, bathroom)

“Simply put, Rodney was over-the-top phenomenal. He seemed to know, inherently, that we were worried sick over leaving our 3 fur babies alone for 4 days. His detailed and inclusive daily notes and pictures gave us a piece of mind we were not expecting but were so grateful to have. He spent time with our dogs, fed them (sometimes by hand when necessary), played with them, sat and pet/groomed them twice a day and they quickly took to him. And these dogs rarely take to anyone new. He definitely has the Midas touch. We are rebooking with (only) Rodney again in December. Honestly, we couldn’t imagine leaving our keys with anyone else.”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m a compassionate and attentive caretaker who truly understands that every dog has its own personality and needs. Whether it’s making sure they’re fed, walked, played with, or just comforted, I treat every dog as if they were my own. My lifelong experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to build trust with animals, which is why I know I’d be a great fit for any role involving dog care! i promise your dogs will love our fenced in dog area and have lots of fun! I am currently not working, and I have always wanted to work with animals! Dog sitting allows me to watch my own dog while also taking care of other people’s dogs and making a living for myself! we have a fenced in dog area and lots of room to run and play! I don’t allow any squeak toys in my house in case of choking hazards! And I have crates if you can’t bring your own if your dog is crate trained!

About: I grew up in a home with two medium-sized dogs, Levi and Lizzy, who are just now starting to enter their senior years! I have taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes in both an overnight and check-in environment. I am comfortable administering medicine orally to animals and have no problem cleaning up accidents. I am currently an ODU DPT student. Right now I am in Danville on a clinical rotation for the summer at SOVAH hospital. I am typically available after 3pm to do any drop-ins or walks. I can also work some early morning sessions in as well. Weekends are completely free! Though I have experience with overnight visits, I am most comfortable with drop-ins at your home. I can drop in for feedings, bathroom breaks, walks, changing litter boxes, and playtime! I can assure you that I will respect your home and your pets while ensuring that everyone's needs are met.

About: Hi, my name is Lisa and I'm an animal lover (especially dogs)! I have had the privilege of giving quality pet care to many pets over the years. The families were very happy with the care their pets received. In addition, I am a stay at home mom of 2 children (ages 17 and 19) who would be able to lavish limitless love and attention on your pet! Your pet would be well taken care of and would have a great time romping around in our spacious fenced in play area! It would be wonderful to have the opportunity to care for your fur baby!! Hope to hear from you soon! I am a full-time stay at home mom. So, I have plenty of time to give lots of love and attention to your fur babies!! The safety of your fur babies is of the utmost importance to me. I have a fenced in yard that they will enjoy playing. In addition, I am extremely careful to provide a safe environment indoors as well. I am available during the week and on weekends. I am a stay at home mom. So, aside from running errands and taking the kids to different functions I am at home a majority of the time. All guests are fed, taken out for potty/playtime, and boarded inside. They are given plenty of love and attention as well. We treat all of our guests like family!

About: Dogs have become a true passion of mine. I provide more than feeding and walks; I focus on understanding each dog’s behavior, body language, and individual needs. I’ve worked extensively with puppies and adolescent dogs, helping build confidence, good manners, and positive social skills through structure, patience, and consistency. I carefully monitor eating habits, energy levels, and overall health while dogs are in my care, and I keep owners updated with photos and detailed communication. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, or simply relax, my goal is to provide a safe, calm environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. My schedule allows me to give dogs plenty of individual attention throughout the day. I plan my routine around exercise, structured play, rest periods, potty breaks, and enrichment rather than leaving dogs unattended for long stretches. I strive to maintain each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Safety is always my highest priority. Every new dog is introduced gradually based on temperament and comfort level. I have experience using crates appropriately for rest, meals, and decompression when needed, and I carefully supervise all interactions between dogs. If your dog prefers quiet one-on-one attention, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I believe every dog is an individual. I take time to observe behavior, communication, and comfort level so I can provide care that fits each dog’s personality rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

About: Hi! My name is Jenae, and I’m a reliable, patient, and experienced caregiver who genuinely loves working with animals. I have several years of experience caring for children, which has helped me develop strong skills in responsibility, attentiveness, and understanding individual needs — qualities that translate perfectly into caring for dogs. Whether your pup needs a fun, energetic walk to burn off energy or calm, consistent companionship while you’re away, I’m here to help! I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines, and comfort levels, and I’m committed to following your instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe and happy. I’m dependable and take pride in being someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in great hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐾 I currently work full time but have time available in the morning and in the evenings. I'm also available to do drop in visits on my lunch break if needed. If your dog is on a schedule I will make sure they stick to that set schedule. I also understand that safety is #1 priority. I will make sure your dog stays safe at home and away from home when outside.

DeHaven and Ashlee are Wonderful!!🤩 This was the first time I have left my kiddos with someone other than family. Naturally, I was a little anxious at the thought of arranging it, but that quickly changed once I met them. They took the time to do a meet and greet, and I was instantly confident in my choice and felt totally at peace. They are great with communicating, wonderful with animals (to include the outdoor feathered ones), went above and beyond and even sent pics to us while we were gone!! I just can’t say enough great things about them and the whole experience!! Will definitely use them again!! Thank you Ashlee!!😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Carrollton on Rover is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $27 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 2,513 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Carrollton. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carrollton. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.
