“Paige did a great job of keeping me updated on my fur baby while I was working all day. She made me feel at ease when she sent me lots of photos and kept giving me updates! Thank you!”
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life - growing up with family dogs, adopting my own dog after college, and subsequently acquiring two cats (through the cat distribution system, of course!). For the last two years, I have worked part-time as a dog-walker for a local professional company in Winston-Salem, NC. In addition, I have done house-sitting for friends and family while away, taking care of dogs, cats, fish, and plants! I am currently working part-time from home, with very flexible hours, leaving lots of room to provide love and attention to your pets while you're away! I have experience providing very detailed care to many different clients, from measuring ounces of water being given, to wearing shoe covers to keep a house clean, to waving a cat toy *just right* to entice a cat out of hiding! I pride myself on providing the best care, and EXACTLY what your pets need while you're away.
About: As an IT professional with a flexible hybrid schedule, I offer dedicated, reliable care tailored to your pet's routine. I grew up with animals and currently care for my 16-year-old cat, Vida, giving me extensive experience with senior pet care, routines, and medication needs. Whether your dog needs an energetic midday power walk to burn off steam or gentle, structured neighborhood strolls, I provide attentive care, secure leash handling, and frequent photo updates on every visit. I have a flexible hybrid job that allows for breaks during the day. I don't work weekends, so I have even more flexibility on those days. Safety and communication come first. I always ensure secure harness/collar fits before heading out, avoid on-leash greetings with unfamiliar dogs, keep pets hydrated, and wipe paws upon return. You'll receive detailed Rover cards with walk maps, timestamps, and photos after every visit.
“Nikki was fabulous with our pups, they seemed to have a great time together! They both settled in with her pretty quickly and she was great at giving us updates when Maverick got his meds.”
“Adryona is great with communication, makes sure quality time is spent with your pooch and keeps you updated on anything you need. Our dog was happy, healthy and house was in good shape! Would definitely recommend and use Adryona 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!”
“Brooke house/dog sat for us for a 2 week vacation to Europe and I was so nervous to leave my baby for so long but Brooke made it so easy! She sent multiple updates with pictures EVERYday and I could tell she really enjoyed her time with Rosie. She even brought over some enrichment toys for her and she really enjoyed those. I travel for work and am sad that I can’t take Brooke with us everywhere we go! She was great and definitely recommend her!”
“Desiree was awesome with my 2 dogs, I especially appreciate how she communicated with me when an unexpected storm came through so my dogs were comfortable. She sent pictures and updates and my house was very clean when I returned. I highly recommended her and hope to have her sit for me again! Thanks Desiree!”
“Vanessa was an outstanding caregiver to our dog. She communicated with us frequently with text and pics. My very shy dog warmed up to her quickly and she kept our house totally neat and clean. Would highly recommend.”
“Emmalee is wonderful! She watched our dog in our house and followed all the instructions perfectly! She was very caring and passionate towards our sweet puppy! We 100% recommended her and will use her again!”
“Ava was very attentive to our two dogs while we were gone for the week. She sent photos throughout the day and relayed how they were doing. Very thankful and would recommend!”
“Alison was great! Our pets were well-loved and taken care of. She was responsive to our communication and check-ins. Our house was also in nice order when we returned and she left some home-made cupcakes to welcome us back.”
About: I have over two years of hands-on experience providing loving, dependable pet care, including drop-in visits, in-home dog sitting, and dog walking. I’m lucky to have several amazing regular clients and truly enjoy building strong bonds with the pets I care for. One of my absolute favorites is Remy, a playful white Labrador I’ve been trusted to watch for over a year, he always keeps me smiling! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have four of my own, so caring for pups is second nature to me. I’m passionate about making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I am currently in school in the mornings and work in the afternoons however I am usually done by 6 giving me the whole night to hang out with your pup! I love being able to give dogs my full attention, whether that means extra playtime, long walks, or just keeping them company and making them feel comfortable and loved. Because I have four pups of my own at home, I do not offer pet sitting in my home. However, I am very comfortable caring for pets in your home, where they can stay in their familiar environment. I’m happy to keep your home tidy, follow your routines, and provide your pups with plenty of companionship, attention, and love while you’re away.
“We couldn't have asked for a more loving, responsible individual for Opie. Emma provided overnight house sitting and care for our boy and our home. We were incredibly grateful to have found her and will definitely ask her again when we need a companion and sitter.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and horses and absolutely enjoy making sure they feel safe and loved. Pets bring so much joy and comfort. I hope to do the same for the pets I am watching. I'm currently working part-time, so I am available for more time. My son is off to the Marines, so I can stay at the client's house. This love for pet sitting began when my friends asked me to take care of their animals while they were on. vacation I prefer the pets at the client's house, where they feel more comfortable. Building trust with pets is key; they feel safe and secure while parents are gone. I will communicate with you as well as you see fit when you are gone to ensure you are happy and safe.
“Another excellent trip with Elaine watching our reactive pups! She gets that they are super slow to warm up and even worked on some socialization with her new puppy. Excellent!! Thank you! We will book again.”
“Izabelle did a great job watching our high energy Australian Shepherd for the weekend. She sent many pictures, which I really enjoyed. My dog looked happy and the house was left in great condition. Thank you Izabelle!”

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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
