“Alicia was so incredible, my baby loved her almost immediately and she was so thorough during our meet and greet. I can tell she really put her heart and time into my pets. With the consistent updates and pictures there was not a doubt in my mind that my pets were being loved like they were her own.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, from tiny Chihuahuas to energetic Huskies, so I’ve gotten to know just about every size, personality, and energy level in between! I’ve been actively involved in caring for my family’s pets for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking within my community since I was 11 years old. As a rescue dog owner myself, I understand that not every dog is outgoing, confident, or immediately comfortable with new people and situations. I have plenty of hands-on experience with timid, anxious, reactive, and quirky dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, understood, and loved, no matter their personality or background! I also have lots of experience caring for puppies, so I’m no stranger to the extra attention, patience, and energy that comes with young dogs! From frequent potty breaks and playtime to reinforcing routines and positive behaviors, I’m happy to adapt to your puppy’s needs. Above all, I know that pets are family, and I understand how much trust goes into leaving them in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, while giving you the peace of mind to feel just as comfortable while you’re away! As a college student, I currently have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care! My only regular scheduling conflicts are Wednesday evenings and Friday midday, so I’m available most days throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, a quick check-in, or some extra company while you’re away, I’m happy to work with you to find times that best fit your pet’s needs and routine! I currently offer pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I do my best to follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other specific care instructions. During visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, clean up after them, and give them plenty of attention and enrichment through walks, toys, or quality time together. For cats, I’m also happy to take care of litter box cleaning and other daily needs. I always make sure pets are secure and the home is left tidy before leaving. I also prioritize keeping owners informed with regular updates and photos, so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing while you’re away! I’m happy to accommodate any additional instructions or preferences to make sure your pet receives the best care possible.

“Katerina has taken great care of our dog Abe when we aren't able to take him with us out of town. She has a terrific rapport with him, and it makes us feel great knowing that he is having a good time while we are away. She has been very flexible with both scheduling and activity, especially given that Abe is an older dog. We would happily recommend her for anyone in need of a dog walker or sitter.”

About: I bring more than 31 years of hands-on experience caring for, rehabilitating, and living with dogs, including rescues with trauma, anxiety, digestive issues, behavioral challenges, and special needs. I hold a Master's degree in Applied Behavioral Science and have training in dog-assisted therapy, providing a deep understanding of both human and canine behavior, communication, trust-building, and emotional well-being. Every dog receives individualized attention tailored to their personality, routine, and unique needs. Through positive reinforcement, consistency, and thoughtful observation, I help dogs feel secure, relaxed, and supported. Whether your dog is energetic, anxious, shy, highly social, recovering from a difficult past, or simply accustomed to a specific routine, I adapt my approach to ensure they remain comfortable and confident. I also have experience with high-energy breeds, blind dogs and dogs requiring specialized diets or care plans. As a 5-mile daily hiker, I can provide long walks, multiple daily outings, and hikes of up to two hours. Clear communication is a priority. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you know your pet is happy, safe, and receiving exceptional attention. I can also coordinate with veterinarians, groomers, and household service providers when needed, helping ensure continuity of care and smooth household operations. I bring 34 years of homeownership experience and eight years of remodeling experience, including the complete renovation of my lake house. This background has developed a strong awareness of home maintenance, safety, proactive problem-solving, and responsible property stewardship. As a volunteer member of a Fire Department Critical Response Team and Workforce Team, I am trained to recognize potential concerns early and respond appropriately. My attention to detail, reliability, and preventative mindset help safeguard your pets and property. I lead a quiet, responsible lifestyle and spend much of my time at home, allowing me to provide a consistent presence, attentive pet care, and regular property monitoring. Services Include: • Daily and overnight presence • Security and property checks • Mail and package collection • Plant care • Garbage and recycling management • Oversight and coordination of household and pet-care needs • Communication and coordination with service providers when needed • Monitoring of home systems and potential maintenance concerns • Careful stewardship of your home I specialize in extended house-sitting and pet-care assignments, accepting bookings of 30 to 130 days during the winter season. Clients choose me for my advanced behavioral expertise, decades of rescue and rehabilitation experience, exceptional communication, attentive home stewardship, and concierge-level service. Whether caring for a cherished companion, coordinating household needs, or maintaining a watchful presence over your property, my goal is to provide complete peace of mind, knowing both your pets and your home are in capable, caring hands. My day begins with a loving good-morning rub followed by a potty break, feeding, and exercise. Throughout the day, I incorporate walks, play, enrichment activities, affection, and regular outdoor breaks while maintaining your pet's normal routine. I enjoy ending each day with the attention most dogs love, whether that's a belly rub, cuddle time, or simply quiet companionship. I closely monitor behavior, energy levels, appetite, mobility, and daily habits so I can quickly recognize changes and respond appropriately. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize the needs of your pet while maintaining a dependable, consistent presence. On a daily basis I maintain the cleanliness of pet-related areas, including food and water stations, entryways, and frequently used spaces. When a home has a pet door, I ensure the yard remains clean through daily waste removal. My goal is to provide an enriching environment where your pet feels secure, comfortable, and loved throughout your stay away from home. I provide a reliable daily and overnight presence, along with regular property walk-throughs. During severe weather, I perform additional inspections to identify potential concerns early and take appropriate preventative measures when possible. I maintain a calm, quiet environment that allows me to remain highly attuned to both your pet's well-being and any household conditions that may require attention. I am equally attentive to conditions on and around the property that could affect your home's safety and security. For example, during a recent house sit, I proactively cleared leaves and debris from nearby storm drains before heavy rain to help reduce the risk of localized flooding. Years of property stewardship have strengthened my ability to recognize developing issues and address them before they become larger concerns. Clients frequently share that they experience a genuine sense of peace and ease while away, knowing their pets and home are being cared for with exceptional attention, responsibility, and respect. They appreciate the strong bonds I develop with their pets and the clean, thoughtfully cared for home they come back to. Upon request, I can stock a reasonable number of essential grocery items prior to your return, helping ensure a comfortable and seamless homecoming.

About: I’ve cared for large, senior, small, young and special needs cats and pups for nearly a decade. I can’t wait to meet and spend time with yours My working hours are flexible during the week, I don’t have children to tend to, and I’m free all weekend so I can spend more time playing with your furry children. They’ll get plenty of play time and walks as needed. And no kennel here, bedtime is indoors and a crate is optional. I have a fenced yard and three doggies to keep your furry baby company. If they prefer to be alone, we can go to my office where there is a large open area for them to roam, rest, or watch people walk by. If your furry friend prefers to stay in the comfort of their home, my hours are so flexible I can either stay or check in and walk them as needed.

About: Hi, I’m Alex! What sets me apart is my depth of experience and attentiveness. I cared for my own senior dog for many years, which gave me a deep understanding of gentle routines, mobility needs, medication awareness, and emotional comfort and connection. I’ve cared for other pets such as birds and reptiles, which sharpened my ability to notice subtle behavioral and health changes. In addition, I’ve spent years observing professional pet-sitting practices and routines, giving me a strong sense of what high-quality, reliable care truly looks like. I bring that same level of thoughtfulness and respect to every pet and home I’m trusted with. Availability & Scheduling 🐾 I work full-time M-F, so I primarily offer morning and evening walks and drop-in visits during the week, with additional flexibility on weekends. I love helping pet parents maintain their pets’ routines, whether that’s a morning potty break, an after-work walk, or an evening check-in. Please message me with your pet’s schedule so we can find a time that works! Overnight care is available on a limited basis for suitable low-shedding/hypoallergenic dogs, with arrangements confirmed in advance. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routines, environment, and emotional comfort. I take a calm, observant approach—respecting each pet’s pace and preferences—while providing consistent care, companionship, and attentive support. My goal is always to create a low-stress, nurturing experience where pets feel secure, seen, and genuinely cared for. Every dog deserves loving, attentive care! I’m happy to welcome dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for walks, drop-in visits, and other services that fit their needs. For overnight care, I specialize in hosting hypoallergenic and low-shedding breeds to help ensure a comfortable environment for both your pup and me.

About: I grew up with animals and have always loved having them around. My family rescued two dogs and two cats when I was little, and I started dog and cat sitting for other families when I was around 12. I’ve continued pet sitting ever since and have also rescued two hamsters of my own. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so I always try to give pets more than just the basic care they need. Whether I’m doing a drop-in, going for a walk, or having a pet stay with me, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and company. I know it can be stressful for pets when their people are away, so I want them to feel comfortable and cared for while they’re with me. I recently moved to Carmel and would love to connect with local pet owners and have some animals in my life again. I currently work part time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and boarding. I work part time in Carmel and have a flexible schedule, so I have lots of time throughout the week to spend caring for your pets! I treat every animal like they’re my own and always put their safety and comfort first. I know how much pets mean to their families, so I’m very communicative and will send plenty of pictures and updates. If I ever have a question or concern, I’ll always reach out!

“How fortunate we were to have Adriana watch or two bOliver, and twinkle. She was with them for a month while we were overseas and took excellent care of them. Oliver needed medication while we were gone, and when we returned, he was looking much better than when we had left. Twinkle is a feisty little girl, but Adriana had her eating out of her hand by the time we returned. In addition to looking after our two pups, Adriana looked after our home and garden and assisted greatly with mail, which was a great relief we have while we were gone for such a long time. Adriana is top-notch. We would love to have her again and if you should be so lucky, we know that you will love her too! She is just the best!”

We had to leave unexpectedly for over a week and our 2 regular dogsitters were unavailable. We have multiple dogs and cats, including a 160-pound Great Dane. We were lucky to find Sophia on Rover. We met her in-person hours later and we (and our managerie) liked her. She came to stay in our home a few hours later. Sophia did a wonderful, though not perfect job, (she missed walks on a couple of days), of watching our home and animals. Our dogs clearly love her, she administered our Dane's medicines correctly, sent us pics of their walks, brought in mail, and we were able to attend to an out-of-country funeral with no worries about our dogs, cats or home. She gave us peace of mind. We came home late, but she stayed and waited. She was very friendly and respectful...and our home was left spotless. We highly recommend her and would use her again.

We appreciated the regular updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for animals and a house in great shape. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to others.

FAQs for House Sitting - Confederate Corners

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Confederate Corners is $46 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $62 per night. 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 779 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Confederate Corners. 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 Confederate Corners 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 Confederate Corners 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 Confederate Corners 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Confederate Corners. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
