“Kimberly was great! Our animals loved her and her communication while we were gone was just what we needed to allow us to enjoy our time away knowing our animals were taken care of. Highly recommend her! Thank you Kimberly!”
“Melissa was absolutely exceptional with our two senior dogs and puppy — we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was remarkably polite and communicative, keeping us updated throughout with thoughtful messages and plenty of photos so we always felt connected to our pets. She took outstanding care of both our animals and our home, and we were genuinely touched to return to a house that was in even better shape than we’d left it. That kind of initiative and attention to detail is rare and truly appreciated. What stood out most was how she handled an unexpected situation when our puppy fell ill during the stay. Without hesitation, Melissa took her to the emergency vet and stayed by her side until we returned home. Her calm, compassionate response made all the difference — our puppy recovered quickly and is doing wonderfully. Melissa has earned our complete trust and will be our absolute first call every time we need a pet sitter. We recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own.”
“Erica was prompt with all communication and I’m pretty sure my home is cleaner than I left it. I appreciated her frequent updates, especially considering our dog can be a handful. I’m glad to have found a trustworthy sitter who is willing to care for our pet in our own home. We’ve already booked her again!”
“We could not have left our dog, Waldo, in better hands than Stacey's! Stacey feels like family and Waldo felt that, too. We're grateful for her photo and video updates and attentive care. We strongly recommend Stacey!!”

“Kaitlynn did a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby. I got regular check ins, she asked before taking him anywhere, and kept his regular schedule. I would book her in the future.”
“Elizabeth was the perfect house sitter and companion for our dog, Pringles! Her communication and service were superb. We will definitely invite her back!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I love all different animals and truly enjoy taking care of them! I have a dog of my own :) I just moved to the area and am in between jobs at the moment! I am totally flexible for whatever type of schedule you need! I have one friendly dog and a house that can accommodate multiple animals! I am super active and walk my dog multiple times a day!
“Allie was exceptional! She was able to provide coverage super last minute. You can tell that she has the spirit for this because the animals took to her so quickly! Could not have been more impressed!”
“This was our first time with Rover, and I could not have asked for a better sitter for our dogs and house. Rochelle made a real and true bond with our two dogs. She made a personal connection with our pups. I want to emphasize that she really cared. Rochelle sent us daily pictures and videos that brought so many smiles to our faces while we were away. Her care took away our separation anxieties. This allowed to relax and enjoy our trip rather worry about how things were at home. If I could give Rochelle more than 5 stars, I would do that.”
“Latisha did a great job taking care of Mae. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell Mae was having a good time while she stayed at our house. The apartment was very clean when I returned home. I'll definitely request Latisha next time I'm out of town and need a pet sitter.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 5 years through family, friends, and neighbors. I’m experienced with feeding routines, daily walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and providing plenty of love and attention while owners are away. I can comfortably administer oral medications, perform basic grooming like brushing and wiping paws, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Currently I am working from home which will allow for me to be as flexible as needed to watch all of your furry friends whenever necessary! I ensure that pets in both my home and my friends or clients' homes receive attention and loving care, tailored to their individual needs and routines.
“Bri, was amazing! We will be using her for our pets for any time we travel. The care, communication, and the peace of mind she gave us when we traveled was unmatched. She cared for our dog and cat and they seemed so happy.”
About: Currently at home i have 2 dogs, i have been taking care of dogs since around 12 years old. I love learning about a dog’s personality, and finding fun things that can tire them out! I love all kinds of dogs but i particularly love larger dogs. I have a Goldendoodle at home and have been around German Shepherds and Mastiffs growing up, so no matter the breed i am excited to get to know them! I just had a newborn so my client pet care will center on weekends so that i can help my wife throughout the week. I care for 3 animals at home daily, so travelling to take care of other dogs will not be an issue. Whether in my home or a client’s home, im always vigilant in keeping a tidy area as dogs are curious and can get into potentially harmful items. I will usually see if they need to potty every 4-5 hours depending on the time they ate, and i always make sure they have water and something to entertain them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carruthers Corner
Dustin was great with my dogs and followed my senior dog’s med schedule like I asked. I have nervous girl that was unsure at first but Dustin won her over and they were getting along great by the end of the visit. Dustin also went above and beyond and stayed late waiting for me to get home and not leaving the dogs alone.

FAQs for House Sitting - Carruthers Corner
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,222 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carruthers Corner. 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 Carruthers Corner 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 Carruthers Corner 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 Carruthers Corner 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.
