“Extremely grateful to have Sabrina available to help us out on a holiday weekend. She was flexible and patient with our dogs and schedule. Our guys were clearly in good hands.”
“Very professional, and willing to work with schedule changes. Most importantly she took very good care of my newfoundland and cat while I was out of town over the weekend. Anyone on fort drum needing a pet sitter should consider booking her.”
“I’ve booked with Amanda multiple times now and I am always happy and at peace knowing shes taking care of my cats. Her communication and compassion are top notch. Will definitely continue to book with her.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. Great with meds, after surgery care, senior dogs, walks an of course lots of play and cuddle time. I treat each dog as if they are mine. I work from and can make my own schedule, which leaves time to spoil my dog and get cuddling and lots of play time in. I have an unfenced yard but plenty of room for your fur baby to run. I have a staffy that is a rescue and is very sweet and gets along with other dogs. If I come to you we will have lots of fun.

I am a new graduate nurse who is studying to take their RN boards exam. I am a stay at home dog and cat mom and military spouse, I have time during the week to spend time taking care of your furry friends! I am available pretty much around the clock! I am willing to take care of your pets at your home if that will prevent stress from your animals. However I am not opposed to having your pets at my husbands and I’s apartment, when we care for animals in our home space, our animals are usually crated while the guest animals are out unless given the okay by the owner— from there we slowly introduce our pets to yours, but only if granted. We have a camera outside our front door as well as one in our living room where we house our own dogs for security and safety of our animals and home.

I currently am taking a break from work and have plenty of time to care for your furry friend as needed! Full time availability and plants of room in my schedule for any hour care. I have a dog who can keep your furry friend company but have enough room to separate them if your dog or cat likes their own space!
“Attention to all military families!! If you need someone super trusting to come and watch/take care of your furry family, do not hesitate to book with Lindsey! She was phenomenal and truly treats your babies like her own! She was super attentive, gave great timely updates, went beyond expectations in her care. She booked us the week before my husbands and I’s trip, took on the added challenge of taking care of one of our sick babies last minute as well. Well 100% be booking with Lindsey in the future ❤️🤧”
About: I worked on a farm when I was in high school where I worked with horses, goats, cats, dogs, and so much more! I’ve also worked as a kennel tech at Sit Means Sit dog training for 4 years. No matter how big or small, I can’t wait to meet them! I’m currently in school and looking for a side hustle to keep busy throughout the day as I finish my last online classes! I’m free all week! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always make sure they receive attentive, loving care. I will follow your pet’s routine, respect any special instructions, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re in my care.
About: I have worked in the animal care industry since I was 14 years old. I grew up with my mother whom bred and showed various different breeds of dogs as well as we kept a small mixed livestock farm. I have worked as an equine manager, I have worked at TSC, and currently am employed at a veterinary clinic where I was originally working with boarders. My skills include basic training, basic grooming, administering preventatives and medication (including insulin), providing effective and safe restraint, and I have taken multiple educational courses on animal welfare, behavior, and stress-free approach to handling. I work full time, but only mid day so I am more than capable of doing morning and afternoon visits as well as mid day on the weekends. I take care of animals the same way I would want to be cared for: with patience, kindness and love but above all safely. Working at a veterinary clinic I have learned a great amount about safe animal care (including with reactive animals).
“Dana did an excellent job caring for our cat while we were traveling. It was great to receive updates and pictures each day so we know that he was doing okay. Dana was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on anything going on and what our cat was up to on each of her visits. We will definitely be booking with Dana again!”

“Eliza took such good care of our fur babies!! We came home to two happy fur babies. She handled our dog’s anxiety so well and our cat who is usually antisocial warmed to her so easily. They had plenty of water, and the house was left clean/vacuumed. She sent plenty of photos to help with being away from our fur babies. We plan to book her again when that day comes. Thank you Eliza!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals in my life since I was born and my mom worked at a Vet Clinic for 13 years so I’ve seen my fair share of all sorts of breeds! From little Pugs to giant Cane Corsos! I’m up for anything and happy to help in anyway I can! I am usually free throughout the week especially with a heads up I should have no problems being able to help you out with whatever needs to be done! And I’ll be happy doing it! I have a dog named Motley who is 4 years old! She’s a mutt but we love her so much and she gets along well with other animals. Sometimes she’s a bit excited with new people/ animals but she is crate trained and potty trained so shouldn’t be a problem!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 119 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Carthage. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Carthage stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
