“Our trip was 1000% better knowing Arnie was in such good care! We already felt better about our time away after meeting Victoria the first time. She is communicative, thorough, super good with dogs, and was very clean while in our house! We got pictures every day of our trip and could tell Arnie was happy and comfortable. We would definitely recommend her to anyone!!”

“Catarina is awesome! She stayed with our cat and dog for 3 days and provided cute pictures and videos. You could tell they were very well cared for while we were gone 😊. We will definitely ask her to house/pet sit for future trips!! Five stars for sure! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

About: I’ve had and helped care for pets my entire life! From dogs and cats to guinea pigs and horses, I’ve always loved being around and caring for animals of all kinds. I’m familiar with the needs of cats and dogs of all ages and am dedicated to providing reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I just graduated from high school and am currently not taking classes over the summer. I work part-time at a barn, so I have a fairly open schedule. I am also very flexible and can meet the needs of any pet parent! In my experience, each pet sitting job is unique so I will follow each pet parent’s schedule and instructions. I pay great attention to detail and am responsible with timelines for tasks.
“Desiree did a great job! Our dog, Derby, seemed so happy with her! She sent lots of cute pics of Derby living her best life! House was very clean as well upon our return! We would definitely use Desiree again!❤️”

“Olivia was amazing. She was able to take care of our pets on short notice and was able to accommodate a quick meet and greet as well. She shared regular updates and truly went the extra mile in caring for our dog. Fantastic job and I would recommend her to anyone that needs pet care.”

About: Hi everyone, My names Ellana! Im currently 20 years old and absolutely adore animals! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old and currently have a frenchie of my own back in MN! Being away from home can be tough at times but spending time with animals is really an escape for me. I love all dogs from big to small, I do have a little bias for all breeds of bulldogs though, they are my fav! I am currently looking into going into canine physical therapy as a full time role for my future:) I’d love to help out as needed so please send me a message! I am a very active student so I love being able to give dogs the time outside that they need. That being said I am always willing to stay in for some cuddles. I have weekends off from all class and job requirements so I like to fill those times with some furry friends! I have my own room and plenty of space and capacity to take dogs on adventures via car or walk! I love spoiling pups when they are with me.
“First time using Ann and she did great. Very good communication and took great care of our pup. Came home to a clean house and happy dog. We will definitely have her watch our dog again.”

“Jess was so wonderful to have watch our cat while we were away. She stayed at our place and kept our cat occupied with the laser and loved on while we were gone. I appreciated her sending pictures to us as well as coming home to a clean place! I would definitely recommend her and will use her again for the future. Thank you Jess!”

“Ryan was awesome! He was adamant about meeting my chihuahuas and giving updates often! He made sure that they were comfortable when some big storms moved through and was so considerate of being in our home. We are grateful and would use again.”

“Autumn did a great job house/dog sitting for my Louie. Things did not go exactly as planned, like sometimes happens with dogs, but Autumn did not get upset or excited and everything worked out just great. Thanks Autumn!”
About: I absolutely love animals! I have had several dogs throughout my life and I grew up sitting for everything from dogs, to cats to rabbits. Ive had experience caring for dogs & Cats of all ages. I care for them like they are my own by providing love, care, belly rubs, extra cuddles, & exercise while their families are away. I have experience in administering medications when needed and following any dietary requirements as instructed. I have experience in puppy care. Crate training, pad and outdoor potty training and basic commands I work from home so I am available to care for your pet, any time 7 days a week if needed & take multiple walks No pet sitting services will be provided in my own home.

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and have always loved all kinds of animals—chickens, goats, dogs—you name it! (Yes, I’ve had all of them!) My family currently has three cats: Harry, Thomas, and Luke. We recently said goodbye to our pug, Cooper, after 15 wonderful years. Two Christmases ago, I brought home our current dog, Kyah, for my family. She’s a Great Pyrenees-Anatolian Shepherd mix and my favorite napping partner! I also taught her a few fun tricks—she can turn around, roll over, speak, and, of course, give a good shake. I have experience with animals of all sizes and personalities, and I’d love the chance to care for yours! I'm currently pursuing a bachelors in nursing. My class schedule takes place in the afternoon, and I have no other priorities besides classes and studying. I'm able to go for as many walks as your dog would like, and give endless scratches! They will never be left alone for more than 3.5 hours (at the most). I'm comfortable giving any medications that are needed. I sit for my Aunts two german shepherds who both receive oral medication, as well one of them receiving a specialized raw diet.
About: Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve had dogs in my life. From growing up with family labs to currently caring for my own black lab named Mae! I love giving dogs a life full of fun, adventure, and exercise—whether that’s walks, hikes, games, or just quality playtime. As a former collegiate athlete and current physical therapy student, I bring energy, patience, and knowledge of safe movement, which helps me care for both energetic pups and senior dogs alike. I value treating every dog like family and strive to make each visit engaging, safe, and full of love for your precious pup :) Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a physical therapy student completing much of my coursework remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week. I am often available on weekends and have availability during weekdays as well, including evenings. Being active and organized, I thoroughly enjoy incorporating pet care into my day and can provide dependable attention, exercise, and companionship for your four-legged family member When it comes to caring for dogs, I value giving them my full attention. From the moment I meet them I want to make sure we are getting outside and being active. I find so much joy in making sure their cup is filled whether that’s us hanging out or going on long walks:)
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember! Since I was a kid, I’ve helped care for family, friends’, and other owners’ dogs. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and love. I’m committed to providing safe, reliable care so both you and your dog can feel comfortable and confident while you're apart. I work part-time in June so I have plenty of time on my half days to walk/care for your dog! In July I’m mostly free to spend the day, take care, and play with your Pup. Whatever your dog needs, I want to make sure we follow. I'm happy to continue any of the recommended routines to help reduce stress and keep things consistent. I already try to be very careful with day-to-day management, such as keeping bathroom doors closed and making sure food isn't left accessible in the kitchen. Even if those things aren't currently an issue, they're still dogs and can get into things, so I do my best to stay proactive.
About: My husband and I grew up with dogs our whole lives and we owned a small dog for 15 years. We are often one our neighbors and relatives call when they need a pet sitter. We are excited to meet new dogs and families and offer pet care. Our home is warm and welcoming and we like to give pets a lot of attention. We feel they are a part of our family when they are with us. You will receive pictures and regular updates while your dog is with us, so you can be reassured your pets are having a wonderful vacation too. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members! My husband works from home. I work from home at times and we have two older kids who are often home to help too. We are never away for more than 4 hours at a time. We follow the owner’s preferences. We will use leashes, harnesses, etc. when on walks. We will administer medications as needed. Dogs can sleep in our beds.
About: i love giving the best care to animals! all animals deserve the very best care in every way if that’s long walks or one on one time! best times i’m free is during the week after work around 5:30 and anytime after! on weekends it really depends i’m usually out of town! I love caring for all animals i make sure they get a good walk in, spending one on one time, fresh water 2-3 times a day and making sure they get all the food the clients provides
“Samantha took excellent care of our dog and home, including going above and beyond by clearing our walks post snowstorm. We have a high-energy, playful, and sometimes demanding dog, and it was clear Samantha knew what she was doing. Ziggy loved her! We really appreciated getting the daily updates and photos.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carver
Caroline was very prompt at our house early in the morning to dog sit our pup. She unfortunately had to deal with blizzard conditions while we were away but Oscar was happy and well taken care of. We came home to a tidy house and she even managed to get our trash cans out to the road in half a foot of snow! She was very professional in our interactions and she gave us a daily update on how things were going. This was the second time she has housesit for us and we wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again.
Laura is excellent, our family highly recommends her! We have a temperamental Border Collie, two cats and special food for each one. Laura has such a positive attitude and our pets love her. We felt so confident and comfortable leaving our pets in Laura’s care! Regular updates and photos were just what we hoped for. Overall, not a thing we change for a future time leaving our pets in Laura’s care!

FAQs for House Sitting - Carver
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Carver on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,999 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carver. 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 Carver 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 Carver 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 Carver 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 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.

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.
