House Sitting in Carthage

“Katie took amazing care of our boy! My neighbors keep bragging on her and want her contact info for their own pets! She is prompt and let him go out and play with his dog friends every time they were outside! Thank you Katie, you are awesome!”

“Allison was beyond amazing with our boys! We’re new to the area and needed to find someone on fairly short notice. She went above and beyond to provide updates on their wellbeing every day. One of our pups suffers some pretty serious anxiety around new people and absolutely adores her. 100/10 cannot recommend her enough!”

About: Ever since I was born I had an animal right by my side . I have learned to take care of animals and provide for them. I have taken care of friends, family and neighbors pets in the past. I also have worked at a dog daycare called tail chasers so I have experience with big dog groups. I’m good with cats as well . I’m experienced with walking multiple dogs at a time because I got 3 myself. I’m currently working 3:30 am to 12:00 pm so I will have plenty time to spend with your animals. I’m free on the weekends as well . Willing to come to your place to house sit and take care of your animals. I have done that in the past for people. Willing to also stop by and give water, food and walks with some play time on the side .

“Amberly was amazing! She stay at our house for a 10 day trip, and she took great care of my 2 dogs. She communicated very well and sent me photos. My dogs are my life, so it was so nice not having to worry about them while we were gone! ❤️”

“Another great visit! Honey came to her residence and was so relaxed by the end she was sleeping at the foot of her couch like she lived there! Thank you Madison!”

“Gracie is wonderful! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors, and made sure our dogs had a good time while we were away. She sent lots of pictures so we would know they were in good hands and we’ll definitely have her back again.”

“I was amazed at how quickly Chauncey (our rescue dachsshnd) warmed up the Nancye. She has this innate ability to know a dog and his needs, placing that as top priority. She texted with pictures often, I left home for a much needed few days away without a worry at all. HIGHLY recommend and feel sure we'll want Nancye to pet/house sit for us again--SOON!”

About: I’ve grown a loving and interested heart towards dogs but have a love for lots of different pets! I’m great at caring for more than cats and dogs:) I am currently working part time as a nanny/ babysitter and am looking for more ways to spend time with all kinds of pets :) All pets I’ve had throughout my life have all freely roamed when appropriate and have been in a crate when needed:) Depending on the owners preferences I will do what they are comfortable with for their pets!

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all ages and understand how to meet their unique needs! Whether it’s a playful puppy in training stages or supporting a senior pup with extra love and patience. I’m dependable, caring, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and have had experience taking care of my own 4 pups! Along with sitting for family and friends over the years. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I currently have a part-time job at Montgomery hospital and attend Radford University during the school year, but I still have plenty of availability outside of classes. A majority of my classes are done by 11 am. And Wednesdays are my busiest/fullest days. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, and I’m great at balancing my responsibilities while making sure pets get the attention and care they need! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow their usual routines to help the pet feel safe and comfortable. I give lots of attention, playtime, and care, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions! Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or favorite walking routes. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

“Kelly was absolutely amazing! She took care of our dog like she was her own and watered our garden as well! It was wonderful to enjoy our vacation without having to worry about our dog. I cannot say enough good things and she will definitely be our first call next time we are going out of town!”

Rachel K.

“The somewhat desperate feeling of having your dog’s boarding plan fall through lands you on Rover.com just days before you’re supposed to leave town. This is not where I wanted to be – having to let a stranger watch my home and dog, handing over the keys and saying prayers. Instead, I said a prayer first, and I landed on the smiling face of Deann. She was an angel! Confident, prepared, kind, experienced, the list of good qualities goes on and on. I immediately felt at ease and our dog took to her as soon as she walked in our door for our introduction. Deann took pictures, communicated, and provided text updates at least once a day and I stopped worrying. That’s maybe the best compliment I can post here – I stopped worrying and had a great time on our trip because Deann had it completely under control.”

“Isabel took great care of our senior kitty while we were on vacation. It’s very clear when you interact with Isabel that she loves animals. Her daily updates and care for our cat gave us so much peace of mind. We would highly recommend Isabel to others!”

Lindsey G.

“I had a good experience with Natasha watching my 2 dogs in my home over the Thanksgiving holiday. She texted me every day, always before I texted her, to update me and let me know they were ok and things were going well. She left the house very clean and the dogs looked great and seemed happy when I got home!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I love animals and i am here to makes sure you pet is happy and healthy while you are gone. I am currently a graduate student in Gainesville and have varying schedule, but l would love to do the most that i can for you and your pet. I live in a house with a spacious yard for walks and play time. I would treat your fur baby as if they were my own, they are in good hands

“Sydney and her roommate Kirsten did an amazing job watching our pup and cats while we were away for the weekend! They were available on short notice. They sent daily photos and updates which kept us at ease while we were away from our pup! I would definitely recommend both Sydney and Kirsten to anyone looking for a sitter! We will definitely reach out again to watch our pets!”

About: Hi! I’m Madison, and I’ve been a Rover sitter since 2019. I bring both passion and experience to the table—along with a background in Veterinary Science, which I studied for four years. I’ve owned and cared for animals my entire life and currently share my home with an Australian Shepherd/Lab mix and two cats, so I’m especially comfortable with multi-pet households and active breeds. What sets me apart is my ability to balance professional care with genuine love for animals. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy or a senior dog who needs a gentler touch, I adapt to each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs. I’m also attentive to safety—my yard is large and perfect for play, but since I live near a busier road, I take all necessary precautions to keep pets secure during outdoor time and walks. I make communication a priority. I’ll keep you updated with regular check-ins, photos, and quick messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I also offer meet-and-greets (in-person or virtual) to ensure your pet feels comfortable with me before our first booking. Thank you for considering me—I’d love the chance to give your pet the love, attention, and expert care they deserve! Even as a busy nursing student, caring for animals is one of the best parts of my day—and something I genuinely make time for. My class schedule is flexible enough that I can prioritize spending quality time with your pets, whether it’s for a long walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care. Being around animals is a huge stress reliever for me, so I look forward to every visit. I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they get attention, play, and care tailored to their needs. My background in nursing means I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and confident handling schedules, medications, or special instructions. Pet care isn’t a side job for me—it’s something I love doing and work hard to do well. Your pets will get my full attention, lots of love, and a safe, happy experience every time we’re together. I have three pets of my own, so your fur baby will have plenty of company and a pet-loving environment whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine. I focus on creating a calm, structured atmosphere where your pet can feel safe and relaxed, especially since being away from their usual routine—or their favorite people—can be stressful. Whether I’m house sitting, walking your dog, or providing daycare, I do my best to stick to your pet’s regular schedule, including feeding times, walks, play, and any special routines or medications. I treat each pet like an individual, giving them the attention, patience, and care they need to feel right at home—even if they’re not. You can count on me to be respectful of your space, communicative, and totally focused on keeping your pet happy and healthy while you’re away.

“Caroline did an amazing job watching our pup while we were away for the day on short notice! She did a great job of sending photos and updates throughout the day! I would definitely recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a sitter! We will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

“Abigail was a life saver. Not only did she take good care of my dog while I was away all week, but when my flight was delayed she checked on my dog to make sure he was okay until I got home. I will definitely be using her to watch my dog again in the future.”

“Shayna did a great job making sure Booker had everything he needed while I was out of town & is very sweet!”
