“We had 100% trust in Ren and she did not disappoint. She took great care of Phoebe - the pictures she shared show just how comfortable she was and put us at ease while we were in Mexico getting married. We would easily recommend Ren and use her again without question.”
“I cannot recommend Janea enough! From the moment we booked, communication was seamless and professional. She kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs absolutely loved her—and it’s clear she truly care for the pets she looks after as if they were their own. She followed all instructions perfectly and even went the extra mile with playtime, offered walks, and cuddles. We came home to a happy, healthy, and well-loved pups! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, caring, and incredibly communicative, Jenae is the one. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Hannah was such a blessing! She was so patient with our cat and dog, and did a great job! We got lots of update pictures, and the whole process was super easy. We will definitely hire her again!! Thank you Hannah for loving on our babies and taking such good care of them! ❤️”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! I’m so thankful we found her. Oliver found his new best friend that gave him lots of love & hugs, played with him, and took such good care of him. She kept me constantly updated that made me felt at ease while I was away from my baby.”
“Alexis was amazing. She was able to take excellent care of all 4 of our very particular cats. She was accommodating and very sweet to our little ones while we were away. Would highly recommend and would definitely book her again if the need comes.”
About: Hi! I’m Carrie, and I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. As a former veterinary assistant, I gained hands-on experience caring for pets and learned the importance of their health, safety, and well-being. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, rodents, and other small pets, and I’m happy to care for almost any animal. I’m experienced in administering medications, including pills, topical medications, and injections, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a special routine, or simply lots of love, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and overnight house sitting so your pets can stay relaxed in their own home. I treat every pet like family and care for them with the same love and attention I would give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, feathered, or scaly family members! I am doing this as my source of income, so my schedule is open to check on your cat whenever it is needed. My schedule is flexible. I have four cats of my own. They are all indoor cats and they are well loved. I make sure to do the same to the cats I am watching.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. From large German shepherds to Yorkis to cats, cats and more cats (I own 3). I’m comfortable around all types of dogs and cats and I’ve cared for many types. I love animals and I thought why not use that passion and turn it into a service I can offer to others! I hope I hope I can continue to learn from ya’lls amazing animals and become an even more experienced pet sitter/walker and lover! I’m available for drop in visits, walks, etc any time during the day. I am currently starting my own business so I have the freedoms to come and go to work as needed. Preferably would be in the morning or evening but I can work with you and your pet’s schedule! I will be sure to walk any dogs through safe, clean and comfortable environments. Personally I shower my own cats with cuddles and playing tag. They always catch me… I know how important our little friends are to each and every one of us so that’s why your pets safety will be my top priority when they are with me!
“This was my first experience with an in-house dog sitter, and I was initially skeptical about having someone stay at my home for an extended period. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Kathleen's excellent service. She kept me updated on the status of my dogs, and they adored her. Additionally, she maintained the house in great condition. I will definitely hire her again when my husband and I go on a long trip. I highly recommend Kathleen for in-home dog sitting.”
“William is a very polite young man. He was punctual, did everything I asked to take care of my Amarie girlie. Amarie has a rough history of abuse and do not trust humans easily. I was so anxious as this were our first without our doggie and making use of a sitter. She was calm with him and they even hanged out together on the night he stayed over, 😁. He left her with a goodbye and treats. I will recommend him anytime and sure I will be a repeat client.”
“Paul was just fantastic. Sent updates and took wonderful care of our Dallas. No problems at all. Would highly recommend him to take care of ur fur baby. I will definitely use him again. Our Dallas enjoyed him a lot.”
“Jaclyn was absolutely amazing. We had a wonderful dog sitter for the last year and I had been very worried about trying to find a new one that would give our babies the same care. Jaclyn was wonderful and made me feel completely at ease. She kept me updated and sent me so many pictures, which I appreciated so so much. I can tell our pups were so comfortable with her. We have a frenchie and a german shepherd, and anyone with a frenchie knows how particular they can be, but she became his new best friend. We plan to continue to use her moving forward.”
“Ashley took amazing care of Brody and Jake. She kept me up to date daily of their care. It is a relief to know someone is with your babies that actually cares for their well being while you are away. Thank you Ashley for a job well done!”
About: Fifteen years of experience spoiling furry friends! I've cared for a delightful trio of canine companions over the years, each with their own unique personalities and needs. From bottle feeding, to playful pups to senior sweethearts, I'm comfortable providing loving care for all types of dogs. I'm currently working Part time trying to add more excitement to my rutine taking care of pets lots of availability to spread care and love Comunication and trustworthiness are essential for peace of mind I will provide updates, I enjoy going the extra mile and make sure you feel comfortable with my pet care.
“Victoria was great! This was our first time booking her through the Rover app and we are very glad that we did! She took great care of our babies while we were away, provided daily updates/pictures and made us feel very comfortable while we were on our trip. She kept the house in great condition and even washed her linens (without being asked) before she left. We will definitely rebook with her in the future and recommend her services. Thanks again, Victoria!”
“Marin was so amazing with our two girls. She was responsive and sent pictures daily. Our two golden-doodles are not old so no special care necessarily but they are very needy. When we got home the house looked perfect and most importantly our two girls were so happy. That tells me she did a good job because sometimes they will act a little mad at us for leaving them. We will def. ask her again if we need to leave Phoebe and Ellie. Thanks Marin you’re amazing!”
“I can not say enough good things about Hillarie. We were fortunate that she was available on short notice to pet sit our pups. She provided great loving care to our senior dogs. She was very responsive and communicative when questions arose about our pups needs. She was extremely responsible about tending to them during the day as well. We had great confidence in her and were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were in good hands. A bonus was returning to a tidy house upon returning very late at night after hours of flight delays.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carter
Emma did a great job woth Winifred, Vee, & Piper while my wife & I were away for the weekend. She gave updates and made sure to take care of Vee especially (she is a newer member to the family and being a facility resuce, has some special needs). She is highly recommended.
Hillarie is absolutely fantastic! She cared for our two dogs and our home as if they were her own. She went above and beyond , getting to know our dogs’ personalities and left our home spotless. She is a thoughtful and caring human and I could tell our two dogs agree!😊
Oh my gosh can I just say outstanding as a last minute request he jumped on it pretty fast and I got her there within an hour or two and she stayed for 24 hours The whole experience was great. He sent me updates about her what she was doing all day long. I highly recommend him very caring Macy loved him🐶🐾
Jo was such a great caretaker for Ripley. We needed a last minute dogsitter for our holiday weekend and Jo really came through. Ripley is disabled and high anxiety, but Jo really made her feel at home. Frequent photo updates, detailed potty and medication schedule. I would trust Jo with Ripley any time!
I highly recommend Taylor for dog sitting. She took great care of my dog Maddie when I was away for the weekend and even stayed at my home. She provided photos and updates of Maddie. I felt at ease knowing that she was being taken care of. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Taylor!
Amanda was absolutely wonderful with Gordon. She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay, sending frequent updates and pictures that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She also handled an unexpected change in plans with grace and flexibility when my family arrived before I did, staying with Gordon until I got home and making sure everything was taken care of exactly as needed. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and the people who trust her with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and Gordon and I are so grateful for her help!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Carter on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,630 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carter. 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 Carter 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 Carter 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 Carter 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.
