“Sarah did a wonderful job keeping our pup company while we were out with family. She took several photos and did a great job of letting us know how the visit went. We will definitely be booking her again in the future! 😊”

“Jaclyn was wonderful- our intro meeting was great, she clearly loves dogs and when she came out for her first drop in she spent lots of time playing with my new puppy and was incredibly attentive. She’s been a great communicator and very responsive. She sent several photos and updates durning her visit as well. I would highly recommend her!”

“Allison cared for our dog while we were on vacation. Our dog can be very nervous around new people, but Allison was extremely patient, and kept us in the loop with how everything went. We would highly recommend Allison!”

“Charlene was absolutely phenomenal. Very sweet and personable- took care of our pups wonderfully and within a couple days notice! Definitely will be reaching out to her for our future sittings! Thank you again Charlene!”

“Crystal replied to a very short notice request as a result of a bailout from a neighbor who had said they would be my evening cat caregiver. She has impressed me with her willingness to spend time with my two very different cats and tend to their personalities and particular needs. She came every evening for six days and spent quality time with them. I highly recommended her and hope she will be available to us again in the near future.”

“Norris communicated well, took care of my animals. Played with them, and showed attention. Made sure all of their needs were taken care of. Norris came two times a day, close to the time I scheduled.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life and grew up around dogs and had many of my own! I am an animal lover and I enjoy taking care of them as it is therapeutic to me. I currently work as an instructional assistant at a school where I work with children who have social and emotional disabilities. I love my job, however, I would love to be able to make this my full time job so I can be home with the dogs all day and be able to homeschool my daughter. If I get enough clientele, I will be able to have even more availability! I can care for your pet just how you would in your home! I will treat your pup like a member of my family and will make sure they are well taken care of.
About: I have worked at veterinarian clinics and dealt with all types or breeds and temperaments. I have worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I would help with playgroups, walks, medication administration, and bathing. I have helped with potty and crate training, including my own dogs. I have a crate and rotate situation in my own home, so I understand that not all dogs can be around others. I work Monday - Friday from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm. I am off most weekends and major holidays. Message me for what your needs are. I have a crate and rotate situation in my home. I know to take extra care to make sure my non dog friendly dog is up prior to letting any others out. I double check to make sure the crate doors are latched. I also make sure my own gate is closed because I would hate for one of my dogs to get out.
“We had Ben drop in on our elderly cat while we were away, and she was well taken care of. She is a bit temperamental, and he adjusted her food accordingly to help with her stomach problems. I'm happy that we had him come over so we had some peace of mind.”


About: I am third year medical student, and I absolutely love dogs of all kinds. Your dog will be treated like family if he or she is with me. I am an avid runner, and I am happy to take your dog for a run, to the beach, to play frisbee or sit home with your dog with lots of cuddles. Dogs are always welcome and in fact encouraged to join me on the couch or the bed. If you wish, I will give your dogs lots of treats, but only with your permission :). I have cared for numerous dogs, including disabled dogs,- one had back injury that prevented her from jumping and climbing and another was blind and deaf. The dog in my profile picture is my college's emotional support dog. I took her for near daily walks and around campus to visit students and attend campus events. I am happy to take your dog out in the community, and show it off proudly, treating him/her as if he/she is my own dog. I have a dog loving roommate and lots of dog loving friends, meaning there will be no shortage of cuddles for your "fur-baby"
“Cecily is amazing. She has watched my dog multiple times and ive never had any issues. Communication is great and my dog seems to do well with her. I always use Cecily anytime its needed and will continue to do so. If you are looking for someone you can trust with your dog she is the one.”

“This was our first time having Danielle check in on our cat, Prissy. It was great having her send pictures of Prissy and being in contact with us while we were out of town. Prissy tends to hide when new people come to visit, so I really appreciate Danielle taking the time and care in making sure Prissy was okay. It makes our trip so much better when we know Prissy will be taken care of.”

About: I have been obsessed with dogs since I was little. Always wanting to have one, pet one, and just interact with one. I currently have a GSD, who is a handful, that I love dearly. I’m currently working 12 hour shifts with a rotating schedule. My available days change every week, but I know my schedule very far out in advance. I am very mindful of doors being closed all the way before and after taking your furry baby for a walk. Will provide them with water and treats before and after. I can also put them back into their crate before leaving if required.
About: Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me—especially dogs. From an early age, I learned the responsibility and joy that comes with tending to animals of all kinds, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Many of the pets I have today were either rescues or animals I took in to help owners during times of transition. Currently, our family dog is nearly 15 years old and requires specialized care due to multiple health issues. This has given me extensive experience in administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and providing the patience and attention that senior dogs require. Whether it’s a young, energetic pup or an older dog needing extra care, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. Dog sitting isn’t just about supervision—it’s about ensuring each dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. With my background and deep love for animals, I strive to make every dog feel like part of the family. I work from home and run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for pets. Being home throughout the day allows me to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and at ease. From feeding and playtime to administering medications and offering plenty of affection, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. Whether they need extra attention, a calm space to relax, or special care, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.
“Riley was great with Harper B! Riley came by to meet Harper before the drop-in visit. It's clear she has experience with dogs and is easy-going. The day-of, she sent me many photos of Harper having a great time playing in the yard. And when I came home, Harper was relaxed and calm because she'd had such fun mid-day with Riley.”

About: Hi! I bring years of hands-on experience from running an emergency and critical care animal rescue, where I cared for pets with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. I'm confident handling medication administration, injections, mobility support, and other complex care routines. At home, I care for my sweet blind dog with medical issues and a high-energy puppy, so I understand the importance of both patience and structure. I have extensive expierence with both cats and dogs, but am more than happy to care for any pet you may have 🥰 Whether your pet needs quiet care, extra attention, or high-energy playtime, I’ll treat them like family and provide reliable, loving support while you're away. I currently work Monday- Friday, but am available for all of your petcare needs! My schedule is flexible! Please let me know if adjustments are needed! I have a large yard, and a seperate room for pets if needed. Our yard is not fenced, but we have a supervised tie out, or leash walks! I have a very friendly dog who loves to play, or can be kept seperate if needed. I also have a very friendly cat! We live on an awesome walking trail, and I go running every day with my dog.
“Kaylee is amazing! She took wonderful care of my dog and even assisted me with some cat issues for which I hadn’t even scheduled her for! She went over and above and sent great pictures with every visit as well!! Will definitely request Kaylee again next time!!!”

About: I grew up around a lot of big dogs so I think i have a better time reading the dog and knowing what it needs and when. I am currently self employed so i can fit in my walks into my schedule how I like. That way if you need to change the time i can be very flexible. You can ensure my attention will be on your pet 100% of the time when you book with me and will get lots of play time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cartersburg is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $23 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 2,450 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cartersburg. 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
