“April provided excellent care for my dog while I was away. She was very timely and attentive to the needs of my dog. April always communicated with photos and a visit summary which gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands and happy. Thank you April for your exceptional service!”
“Anna showed up when she was supposed to and took good care of Max. He even needed medication half way through his sitting and she was able to administer without any issues. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Meg was fantastic with our dogs! She was very mindful of checking on them and seeing how hot it was outside to make they were getting overheated. Also got so many good pictures on my pets from her visits, will definitely be booking with her the next time I need a pet sitter.”
“She took great care of my cat when I was away for a few days and he warmed up to her very quickly! I really appreciate her attention to detail and making sure that he got the attention he needed during her visits with him. I feel way better that he got to stay comfortable at home instead of at a boarding facility.”
“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!”
About: With our large shaded grassy backyard and tree shaded neighborhood, you want to bring your pup here. Or, if you're in need of a drop in service, I can help with that too. We're a home full of pet lovers and loved the ones we have or have had in the past. Dogs, cats, rats, birds, and even a turtle have blessed our home. As a remote worker I'm fortunate to work from home. This offers us a fair amount of flexibility to care for and engage with your companion. We have a large backyard with lots of trees and a house full of pet lovers. Our neighborhood is adjacent to a large park that we frequent and would love to bring your pet with us.
“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.”
“Took excellent care of our 2 cats while on our first vacation together. Took lots of pictures which was great and played with them. Was very responsive and thoughtful. 10/10 will try to book again for next vacation.”
“Jessica was amazing to work with. We had a last minute get away and we were nervous about what the dogs would do while we weee gone. Jessica was kind enough to come meet the dogs with us home before we left. Within seconds it was easy to see how she loves animals and our dogs were at complete ease with her. We also had no concerns letting her into our home to play with the dogs while we were away. She had a very flexible schedule and was on time and punctual morning, afternoon or at night. She will be our go to dog helper and she should be yours too.”
“Anika has dropped in for my dogs three times. She was professional, great at communicating and handled my intense Scottish terriers well. I’ve rebooked her for future visits. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had medical training with animals as a vet tech and kennel lead. ❤️ I have experience with meds, and I love senior pups (really all pups).🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy building my days around the needs of the pets I care for. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and plenty of one-on-one attention, especially during mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m also able to plan my schoolwork and other commitments around scheduled pet visits, so I can give each pet my full attention rather than rushing through a visit. 🐾💕 Whether I’m caring for a pet in their home or mine, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🥹❤️ I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions from their owner. I’m also happy to send regular photo and message updates so you know how your pup is doing while you’re away. My goal is for every pet to feel like they’re getting personalized care and plenty of attention. 🌱❤️
About: I've grown up with a variety of animals - from cats, dogs, to reptiles, birds and fish. I've taken care of brachy breeds like pugs and can handle large breeds like great danes. Since the school year is coming up, I can easily take care of pets due to me taking online classes, giving me plenty of time to either watch over or check in on pets as they are needed. I'm excellent at following directions, lists, and regiments, and understand the importance of keeping up with crate training given I have crate trained my dogs.
“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: 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.

About: I was the friend who watched my friend’s dogs and cats growing up while they were away. I have experience with little dogs like Yorkies, all the way up to the Great Pyrenees! I am currently and student with multiple online classes, and should be able to provide your little guy or gal with any attention they need throughout the day! I ensure that every pets needs are taken care of, first being the basic needs like food, water and exercise, and then the fun stuff! Every pet has individual idiosyncrasies and needs and I’ll always strive to meet them!
About: 🐶 Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I love spending time with them! I have experience around all kinds of dogs, and I have a Yorkie and German Shepherd mix of my own. My family also fosters dogs, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing at the park, getting some fresh air, or simply relaxing and keeping them company at home, I enjoy making sure dogs feel happy, safe, and loved. I’m happy to give them attention, playtime, and affection while keeping their routines and individual needs in mind. My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re spending time with a friend, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands! 🐾❤️ As a college student, I have classes in the mornings and am typically available after 12:30 PM throughout the afternoon and evening. I’m also available most weekends! I love spending my free time caring for animals, whether that means going on walks, playing outside, or keeping your fur babies company while you’re away. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand that every animal has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Because one of my dogs is reactive toward other dogs, I’m unable to board additional pets in my home. However, I’m happy to provide care in your home, where I can focus on your pet’s individual needs, follow your instructions, and maintain their usual routine. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my priority.

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.
