“we absolutely love Kim. she takes really great care of our boys when we’re away. she is patient and understanding when it comes to giving medicine and particular needs. our cats love her and would recommend her services to anyone!!”
“Anna is amazing. I have the grumpiest cat alive and the other is really skittish. After 4 days, Anna had won them over. She is reliable, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I highly recommend her. I will definitely book her from now on anytime we need a sitter!”
“Sarah was flexible and very accommodating for my pups. She communicated if she was running late and took cute pictures reassuring me that everything was okay with my babies. I will definitely rebook with her if our schedules align.”
“Very accommodating and took amazing care of my cat. For a cat with separation anxiety and will pee on things when left alone too long as well as scream at you when you come back home, she was pretty calm and very happy upon my arrival. Thank you so much Isabel!”
“Erica was great! Sent pictures everyday and we felt comfortable leaving our fur babies in her hands. We did a meet and greet first before we left town. Thank you Erica!”
“Jaclyn was great with our pups! Her visits with our dogs were right on time. She sent pics with each visit. We have already booked her for two more dates. We feel very comfortable with Jaclyn caring for our babies.”
“Amazing experience with Lillian. She went out of her way to provide care and comfort to our pup over the holidays, giving us peace of mind while out of town. Definitely recommend her and will use her in the future.”
“Puppy loved our first drop-in visit with Victoria (his first visit with a sitter or stranger in the house ever!) & looks forward to some play time and walkies in the near future. Victoria was on-time, respectful and friendly. We were at home, this was a meet & greet.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting on Rover throughout all four years of high school and have experience fostering dogs and cats and helping them find loving families. I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐾 I am a college student with a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care throughout the week. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight care when needed. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routines and making sure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. During visits, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I understand that pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I strive to keep their routine as normal as possible while providing plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I also respect my clients’ homes, keep things clean and secure, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’m happy to follow specific instructions to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want someone to give my own. I’m currently a college student, so my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, walks, and extended care, and I have even more availability on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or household rules. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and boundaries and will make sure they receive plenty of care and attention while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Kelsey was amazing. She arrived at all the agreed times and gave us pictures and messages which made us feel very secure that our pup was in good hands. We had never used this service, so I was a little apprehensive, but Kelsey has made this a great experience. Already booked her again!”
About: Growing up around dogs big and small, I’m more than capable and happy to take care of your pups. From drop-by’s to dog sitting for my friends and family for months at a time, I have experience with puppies, adults, and senior dogs alike. While I don’t own dogs right now, I long for my very own furry child. For the time being, I’ll make sure to love on your dog as I would with mine, and as I’ve done with every dog I’ve taken care of. Excited to meet you and your furry one! I’m currently working part-time so I have available flexibility. I can drop in in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings; same with walks (though a hot midday walk is probably not the best for your pup…). Depending on your the client’s requests, I play with the dog, give them their meal if need be, make sure there aren’t any accidents around, and if so, clean them up. I can give medicine and I’m not afraid to stop them from swallowing things they shouldn’t (yes, I’ll fish whatever they’re not supposed to be chewing with my bare hands).
About: I grew up caring for animals whether they were my own, family friends, or strays. I love playing with them cleaning up after then and just spending time with them. Every day I spend it taking care of and playing with my cats. I have to feed them every day at the same time or they get upset. I clean there litter box then I make sure they have fresh water. Lastly I make sure they are healthy and happy with treats. Every day I spend it taking care of and playing with my cats. I have to feed them every day at the same time or they get upset.

April, thank you so much. I so appreciate everything that you do with the fur babies while I’m gone and to get home and they’re so calm is so heartwarming. I feel like I can finally just relax while gone with nothing in the back of my head worrying me. On top of that the photos just show me how much they love you. Again thank you so very much! ❤️
Carole always takes good care of our 12-yr-old cat. This is the fourth time she's been our petsitter, and she always makes sure to follow our directions/preferences and communicates often! We feel good knowing our kitty is in good hands. Thank you, Carole!
I had great peace of mind knowing Sophia was taking care of my babies. She provided timely updates and pics and took care of everyone wonderfully. She and Jelly really bonded and so now he misses his new friend! I keep telling him he will see her again soon. Really happy to have found such a great sitter!
As always, Emma did a great job with Winifred and Vee. Great communication, punctual arrival, awesome check in, and picked up after them as well. It means a lot, especially with Vee, as she is a special rescue who is still learning and looked so happy. Thanks so much and highly recommended, even on short notice.
Tori was wonderful with my dog! I booked drop in visits and couldn’t schedule a meet and greet beforehand, so I gave her a heads up that my Shorkie would be very anxious with a stranger coming in. Her first update put me completely at ease. She said he was too nervous to even take treats at first, but she was patient with him, and once she mentioned going for a walk he warmed up. After the walk she tried playing with his toys, but he just wanted belly rubs from her, so she gave him lots of belly rubs and he gave her lots of kisses. By her second visit, he was excited to see her! I booked her for 4 drop in visits in one week and it was excellent for my dog and my peace of mind Communication was excellent — detailed updates, quick responses. She was accommodating to everything my dog needed and so easy to work with. She went above and beyond, and I’d absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!
Jessica did a wonderful job during our second booking with her. Her communication was excellent, and she paid great attention to detail throughout our trip. We truly appreciated knowing that our cats were safe, comfortable, and well cared for while we were on vacation. It gave us peace of mind to be away knowing they were in such good hands. We would gladly book with Jessica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
We absolutely loved Phoebe and will be booking again in the future! Phoebe was communicative, sweet, and clearly takes her role as pet sitter seriously with the attention given to our 2 cats. She followed all directions given and went above and beyond with things we didn't even know to ask for, like cleaning the water fountain and food bowls regularly. Knowing my cats were well-cared for put me at ease. 10/10 would recommend and will be telling all my friends and family about Phoebe 🙂

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Carter is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 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 6,358 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Carter. 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 Carter. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
