“Theresa will go above and beyond to make sure your home and animals are safe. Our pups love and trust her. We’re so grateful to have met her. We will 100% book again.”
“Rachel is the best! She is responsive, reliable, and so sweet to our dog. It was very comforting to know our pet was being well cared for, so we could relax and enjoy our trip. I will ask Rachel to sit again in a heartbeat!”
“Kassi took very good care of our super senior cat, making sure she was warm and able to eat without her younger siblings pushing her around. Kassi sent frequent updates with photos and my three babies trusted her enough to cuddle in her lap and sleep near her. I was nervous about booking someone I did not know to be in my house for a week but Kassi did a great job and I plan to hire her again.”
“Erica was great! Very professional and we loved that she asked lots of questions and took notes at the meet and greet. She sent us lots of photos and detailed updates while we were away which gave us peace of mind that Ada was well taken care of. Would love to use her again in the future!”
“Linda is very responsible and kind to dogs. She tries hard to make an anxious dog comfortable and succeeded with mine. She tries to figure the pets out as to likes and quirks. I was especially thankful that Linda was home with my dog at the times he normally feels the most anxious. I highly recommend Linda.”
About: I work as a wildlife rehabilitator so caring for animals is a big part of my life! I have experience giving all kinds of medications including oral pills, subcutaneous, and intramuscular injections. I’ve pet sat for family and friends since high school and I would love to care for your pet no matter the size or medical needs! I typically work from 12-10pm, so my mornings are very free for walks, feeding, and play-time! I can also drop in before and after work to feed pets and let dogs out for bathroom breaks. My days off are usually Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so those days I should be available all day! I would be happy to give any medications needed, walk dogs, have playtime with your pet, keep litter boxes clean, feed pets while you’re away, and any other special requests you may need!
About: I have worked around my neighborhood growing up taking care of dogs. I love going on box and love to be accompanied by a dog on those walks. If you have any questions, feel free to ask:) I’m currently working full time from 7:20-3:20, but can go into work from any time from 7am to 9am. So I am very flexible for you and your fur baby! If you need me to take care of them mid day I do have a one hour lunch break as well. I work 5 days a week for 8 hours. Weekends I can be free! My kitty is always taken care of, cleaned, litter box is cleaned daily, new water refilled daily, and exercised daily. I can adjust based on you and your pets routine. I do not do home visits in case your animal does not do well with cats!
About: Hi! I’m Olivia, and I love taking care of animals! I have 10 years of experience taking care of many different animals including senior, special needs, puppy & adult dogs, large & small breeds. Cats, kittens, guinea pigs, various small animals; bunnies, rats, mice, fish, you name it. I even ran my own hamster rescue, having 18 hamsters at once, years ago. I’ve volunteered at the animal shelter growing up because I just love dogs so much! I’ve been pet sitting for friends & neighbors for 5+ years now. I have had 5 dogs throughout my childhood, probably would’ve had 12 cats too, if my grandpa wasn’t allergic, safe to say i’m addicted to animal lovings! I currently have a Great Pyrenees & lab mix currently that are spoiled rotten. Need someone who understands your pets special needs- like medicine, potty breaks, and the dog who won’t eat their treat until you turn around and look away from them? I’m your gal! This is more than just a job for me, it’s dedication & passion! I can do whatever will meet your babies needs, short or long term! Housesitting experience aswell. I’m amazing with animals & am very friendly, trustworthy, & dependable. I offer overnight boarding, pet & house sitting, doggy daycare, drop in visits & lots of love! I work part-time as a server, in the mornings from 5:30am- 11:30am on Thursday & Fridays. Sundays from 5:30am-2pm. Otherwise I have open availability for your furbabys needs. Your baby will be cared for around the clock, and there is always somebody home to watch the pups! I have a fully fenced in huge backyard with my two friendly dogs, Serenity & Halo, to keep yours company with outdoor supervisions and playing & exploring with my dogs. If needed, my dogs can be kept away and your dogs have their own private room, and or also kenneled when needed, we have a large kennel unless provided. I am also available for in house pet sitting aswell as walks, check-ins, etc. I have experience with in-house and just got done watching my neighbors 3 dogs for a month long pet & house sit. Your pup will be treated as one my own babies! Dogs are allowed on furniture around here. Our home is clean & mostly dog proofed. Will provide picture updates & videos. Love gardening and can keep your plants alive while you’re away.
“We can't say enough of how much we appreciate Jack and Kate. They came to our rescue last minute when another sitter left us with zero notice the day before we were flying out for two weeks. They were excellent with our pups and kept us showered in pics of them. We have a difficult dog, and we can tell he was very well taken care of. Thanks again - you saved our trip!”
“Sue was a wonderful caretaker for our dogs! Especially the week before July 4th with lots of fireworks! She kept us updated and provided lots of photos and videos while we were away. Would definitely recommend!”
About: Hi, I am a recent ASU grad and living in downtown Omaha! At home my family has three dogs, four cats, a horse, and chickens so I am no stranger to animals. I grew up taking care of neighbors animals since middle school. My sister and I nursed one puppy back to health from parvo so I am familar with high maintence doggos. I miss my crew of animals at home so I am here to get my fix loving your pets. I have mostly open availability as I am new to the area so I am able to be almost full time with your pet or provide feedings and walkings as you need. :) I am able to stay at your home with your pet so their routine does not need to be disturbed or come and go, whatever your preference!
“If you are on the fence about Charity, I hope this interview helps you decide. Charity watched our dog at our house for 5 days in a row. Before accepting, she did an in person consultation and was prepared with her own questions and requested anything necessary to provide the best service possible. She communicated prior to, and daily, with text, pictures and/or video. She can manage multiple clients at the same time and will not compromise on your agreements. These things may be a given but to be explicit - our dog was nurtured, nothing was damaged or stolen, she helped with the trash removal. Thank you for your time, skill, and excellence!”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She communicated well and clearly cares for animals. My dogs provided multiple, unexpected challenges while we were out of town and Rachel handled them gracefully, made proactive changes for the rest of the trip, and just overall went above and beyond.”
“Kylene was very personable and it was easy to see how much she enjoys animals. Was very reliable. Arrived when expected. She kept great contact by sending periodic pics to assure me Lydia was comfortable and being cared for. I would recommend her and I will definitely use her again.”
“I recently booked Marc to take care of my cat. She's definitely a less than friendly feline with strangers, and he was great with her. She requires meds twice a day and he had zero issues getting her taken care of. I'd absolutely recommend Marc to take care of any animal if you need help.”
“Mark did such an excellent job caring for our 2 dogs while we were away! He was incredibly communicative the entire time and regularly kept us updated. One of our dogs has a bit of separation anxiety and he did such a good job comforting her through the first day of us being gone. He also probably gave them more exercise than we typically do 😅 and was very trustworthy in our home. Would highly recommend him!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carter Lake
Kara was amazing with Bernie!! She was so responsive, sent me lots of pictures and was very detailed about when she was coming/leaving. I also loved that she spent lots of time with him, which I know helped calm his separation anxiety. She even drew me a cute little picture of him💗 I will absolutely book her again!!
I had the most favorable experience with Jack pet sitting my dog. From start to finish my interactions with Jack were completely positive and professional. I had no worries while he was taking care of my dog while I was out of town. Jack sent daily photos, which was a welcome plus. Jack knows how to take care of dogs & interact with them & love them.
We got a new puppy 10 d before our vacation Desirey was awesome! She happily took on our two dogs and kept working on potty training the new puppy did just fine and we came home to a happy house. If there was an option for more than a 20% tip I would do it. Thanks so much Desirey!
We had a great experience with Alexis! She stayed in our home with Poppy while we were away on a cruise and had great communication throughout our trip. She sent us photos and videos, and Poppy always looked happy and well cared for, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a clean and tidy house and a happy pup! We were very pleased and will definitely be using her again.
One of the best sitting experiences— Regie is thoughtful and caring and provided us with sooo much peace of mind while we spent a weekend out of town! Our dogs adored her and her daughter, we recommend Regie to anyone! She will love your fur babies like her own.
Ebone did a great job taking care of our dog, Mae, while we visited family. It was our first time leaving her alone, but we came back to a happy dog napping in her kennel. Ebone also sent us some very cute pictures of their walks and some snuggle time on the couch.
Taegan is an amazing sitter! I never felt worried about my cats when she was watching them. She sent multiple pictures throughout the time she watched them and always made sure to keep me updated on how they were doing! I’ve booked with her twice and my cats love her. I would recommend her a hundred times over - she’s amazing!
Mackenzie always goes above and beyond to make sure my dogs are happy, healthy, and comfortable. She's incredibly kind, responsive, and trustworthy as well. When my travel plans were delayed, she did not hesitate to offer to make sure the dogs were taken care of until I got back. HIGHLY recommend her services!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Carter Lake is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $64 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 643 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carter Lake. 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 Lake 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 Lake 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 Lake 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carter Lake. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
