“Shannon was great! She was able to accommodate my drop in request with short notice and made sure that all my requests were met. She sent videos of my kitten and communicated with me regarding when she entered my home and when she left. I would recommend her to people looking for drop-in sitting and I will definitely use her services again!”

About: I have a great amount of experience caring for my own pets, family & friends pets, clients pets, and even cats in an adoption center. My family and friends always come to me for any pet related advice or care they may possibly need. I am very particular in the way in which my own pets are cared for so I will make sure to follow any instructions given to me in order to meet your beloved pets needs. I have lots of experience in bathing, feeding, pottying, training, walking, giving medication, and anything else you can possibly need for your pet. I’ve interacted with various dog breeds and ages. I do work full time but I am fully available Tuesdays and Sundays. On Wednesday, Friday, and Saturdays I am available in the evenings once it’s 5pm. I am available early in the morning on Mondays and Thursdays. Anything past 9am on those days I unfortunately can't do. I will always try my best to make something work. Safety is my number one priority as it is in my own home. If your pet free roams I will try my best to make sure they can’t get into any trouble when not supervised. I like to make sure that all gear is fitted and in working condition before any outings. I also will not put them in any situations in which they may feel uncomfortable so if your pets don't like interacting with other dogs or people please let me know.

“Sami took excellent care of my two “kits” again. I am not even sure my big Bombay missed me this time. He definitely remembers her, and strolls out every time “meals on wheels” comes by, for some pets and some catnip. It helps a lot to get the reports that they got their regular feedings and that their feeders, water, and litter boxes got changed. It helps that Sami is very reliable, because then I can leave them in the comfort of their own home and not have to worry when I am out of town.”

About: My pet care experience spans decades. I grew up with a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds and fish, so I understand that pets are family and hold a special place in our hearts. I understand how important it is to keep to a pets daily routine and want you to feel confident in your pet’s care and at ease while you’re away. I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, coworkers and acquaintances, following detailed instructions for feeding, medication and walking schedules. I also volunteered with Best Friends Animal Society in Salt Lake City, Utah, for over three years, where I walked and handled dogs of various temperaments, cared for cats and their enclosures, and assisted with pet adoptions. My animal care experience also extends beyond household pets. For two years, I worked with the East African Refugee Goat Project of Utah during kidding season, assisting with births and providing care to goats and their mothers afterward. This experience broadened my understanding of animal care and the importance of being attentive to animals’ needs during different stages of life. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs, and I’ll do my best to provide the attentive, thoughtful care I’d want for my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, comfortable and well cared for. I’m currently available to care for your pets in your home for overnight care, short and long walks, and drop ins. I’m happy to provide overnight care 7 days a week however, if they need 24hour care I’m only available Sat – Monday. On Tuesday – Friday I teach at a local International School and can usually get home to your pet by 4pm at the latest. If you are looking for short or long walks and Drop-ins, I’m available all day Sat-Monday and in the afternoons and evenings Tuesday – Friday. As of now, I’m available for any pet care needs over Thanksgiving and Mid-December through Mid-January as school is out for the holidays. Please feel free to contact me. I’d love to spend some time with your fur babies! My goal is to provide care that stays as close as possible to your pet’s usual routine, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. Whether it’s getting plenty of exercise and playtime, sleeping in their favorite bed, or enjoying their usual meals, I’m happy to follow your instructions and accommodate their individual needs. I’m also comfortable administering prescribed medications according to your directions. For your pet’s safety, I ask that you provide emergency contact information for yourself and your veterinarian, just in case an unexpected situation arises. I do my best to keep a close eye on your pet throughout our time together and love capturing special moments to share with you through photo updates. I also understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your beloved pets is a big deal. I treat your home and belongings with respect and take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is receiving attentive, loving care while you’re away.

About: I’m a dog owner myself and currently have a Malshi-Poodle named Cookie. I’ve always enjoyed being around dogs and have experience with different sizes and breeds. When I was younger, I regularly helped walk and care for my uncle’s Golden Retriever and German Shepherd, including taking them to the park. While most of my recent experience has been with my own small dog, I’m comfortable around larger dogs as well. I love walking, being outdoors, and playing with dogs, and I’m happy to give them the exercise, attention, and care they need. I previously worked as a mail carrier, so I’m very used to being on my feet and walking for long periods. I have a pretty flexible schedule right now, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. I enjoy walking and being active anyway, so spending time outside with your dog is something I’d genuinely enjoy. I’ll make sure your pet is safe and comfortable while they’re with me. I’ll follow any instructions you give me, keep an eye on them during walks or playtime, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I can also send pictures and updates so you know everything’s going good.

Roselyn was amazing! I booked her to stop in every other day while I was on a cruise. She made time to come over before her scheduled start date and let me walk her through what would be needed while I was away. She also offered to check mail and take care of any spontaneous tasks while we were away. She goes above and beyond! If she needed anything she always reached out and followed up. Would highly recommend! I will be booking again for future drop-ins.

This is our second time having Sami take care of our precious cat and again, we are blown away with how seamless she makes the process be! She's always prompt, open to adjustments in the care schedule in-between visits, and so kind/respectful to our space. If you have a fur baby that needs care, we'd highly recommend booking with her! You're mind will definitely be at ease knowing they are in great hands.

Elaine was a pleasure to have come and care for my kitties! They all greeted her when she would come over, they did not hide and were not scared. She did an excellent job at communicating and caring for them. She was also very respectful of my space and I appreciate her removing her shoes when in my home. They were well fed, watered and had clean litter boxes while I was away. She took the time to play with them and give them attention as I’m sure they missed me. Thank you for the all pets and love you showed my kitties. I appreciate all your hard work! Will definitely book her again. Thank you Elaine! 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈💕💕

Amazing sitter. Hired for drop ins and I couldn’t have asked for a better person. Lyra has just done a big move and lots of changes so she was terrified of Kaydin at first and then Kaydin worked her magic, making Lyra feel sooooo comfortable almost immediately. By visit #3 she was confident with Kaydin and by day last day of drop ins, Kaydin was Lyra’s bestie. Super communicative, super punctual, I am overbearing and a worrywart af but I had peace of mind by day 2 because I knew my baby was totally cool with her. Call Kaydin Dennis Haysbert the way my dog was in good hands. 12/10.

Madison was fantastic with our dog! We hired her last minute before leaving for a week long trip. She put our minds at the meet and greet with her mother. She came by twice a day to walk LT, feed him, make sure he had fresh water, and give him the attention he needed while we were away. Madison was dependable, communicative, and clearly cared about LT's well being. It was a relief knowing he was looked after by someone we could trust. We came home to a happy, healthy dog, and that's the best review we can give. We wouldn't hesitate to book Madison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Carson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Carson is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $52 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 20,328 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Carson. 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 Carson. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
