“Amber took great care of our pups and house over the weekend. Many photo updates and happy pups when we got home. I would absolutely recommend and look forward to working with her again soon!”
“So happy we that found Stephanie on Rover. She is everything you could want in a pet sitter. She is good with animals, prompt with responses, keeps you informed regularly, house was clean when we returned, and she takes pride in what she does. We look forward to working with her again!”
“My pups can’t get enough of Regan and she loves them like her own. I always feel that my dogs and my home are completely safe and well cared for when Regan comes to stay. She’s the best!!”
“Everything went well. I didn't really see much of Vesta, I left right after she arrived and she left right after I returned. The house was clean, nothing was destroyed and my dogs were happy. I guess that says it all!”
About: Since childhood, I've always had a dog at home, mainly pugs and Aussies. Back home, I use to watch all my siblings dogs as well as watching friends fur babies. I love animals! I’m going back to college (online) so I’ll have plenty of time during the day to go and let a pup out for a walk or even the possibly of sitting at my home. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. The Aussie is high energy and my pug is old and is not bothered by other dogs, he just will not play.
“Patty is a great house/dog sitter! She stayed our home w our German Shepherd Roxie for 3 days and nights. Every detail was perfect and we came home to a happy Dog and happy house. Thank you Patty”
About: I've rescued 5 dogs over the last 16 years. I'm most familiar with bully breeds, Boxer, Jack Russel, Miniature Poodle, and the Bichon Frise. I also fostered a Rottweiler. I'm passionate about "adopt don't shop" when it comes to rescuing animals. I am familiar with behavioral issues such as separation anxiety, reactivity, and poor leash walking behaviors. I've worked with trainers using positive reinforcement techniques to address these. I love the outdoors and will take your pups to the park, beach and wooded trails. I have also taken my dogs camping and kayaking! I don't have as much experience with cats, but I grew up with cats and am familiar with them. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pet family members! My schedule is very flexible right now. I only need 3 days' notice for my services. I can care for your pet daily or weekly as needed. My dogs are walked 3-4 times per day since I don't have fencing. They have free range in our home while away, but are crated at night for sleeping. Both of my dogs take medications for separation anxiety and allergies, so I am familiar with administering medications. Our dogs eat twice daily and get lots of snuggling or play time at in the evening after work and on weekends.
“This is the second time Michelle has stayed with our two pups and we came home to two happy, well-cared for pets and a spotless home. It is very nice to have a dependable sitter and sets my mind at ease while away from home!”
“We love having Jordan stay with our dog. She takes great care of him and sends us the cutest picture updates. She always takes great care of our home as well which is so nice to come home to.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Katherine’s stay with our Bode. She is amazing. Loved the daily updates and she is so sweet and very responsive and communicative. Bode loves her and misses her already.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 20 years and currently share my home with multiple of my own. From tiny terriers to giant mastiffs, energetic puppies to senior and anxious dogs, I’ve handled it all, including medications and special routines. I love getting dogs outdoors on trails and walks, and my flexible schedule means I’m reliable when you need me. Dogs are a daily part of my life, so pet care isn’t an add-on. I am an elementary special education assistant for TCAPS during the school year, so I have a very flexible schedule in the summer, which means I can fit walks and drop-ins around whatever works best for you. I treat every dog like one of my own. At home, mine like to stick to a routine of regular walks, outdoor play, and consistent feeding. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely, keep your dog’s schedule steady, handle any meds or special needs carefully, and give them the affection and exercise they need. I’m respectful of your home and always keep you updated.
“Marg was amazing! Monty loved her and they had a great time together while I was out of town. She was very responsive, sent lots of updates and pictures, and followed Monty’s routine and any house instructions/requests to a T. The house was in pristine condition when I got home. Highly recommend and will be booking with Marg again!”
About: I've always had dogs. Growing up, we had four. I've been loving, tending, and playing with dogs my entire life! I've taken care of family's dogs while they've gone on vacation too many times to count. Friends, too! I'm excited to meet your furry kid!! I am very flexible and can meet your specific needs! Any day, anytime...I can be there! Ready and willing to give lots of love and attention to your lovable doggie when you can't! I will treat your home as if it were entrusted to me by my own family. I will treat your dog as if they were my own! Lots of love, lots of attention, and we'll be in their place of comfort and safety so that they are more relaxed and happy.
“When we had a family funeral across the state and our regular Rover overnight person was out of town Jill came to our rescue. Jill gladly rearranged her weekend schedule and was able to stay overnight with Sadie at our house. She and Sadie have bonded well in the past few months and we have 100% confidence in Jill. ”

“My dog seemed happy & well cared for after time with Gail :) Was grateful to have her take care of my sweet girl who just doesn’t want to be alone. She sent updates and pictures & I didn’t feel like I had to worry about my dog. Will rebook Gail again if ever in the area again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Karlin
Regan Evans was superb with my little dog while I was gone. She sent pictures of him and their activities almost every day. My dog loved her, and I returned to a happy dog and plants in a very clean house. She is a lovely person, and I was delighted to meet her and have her in my home with my dog, my precious best friend.

FAQs for House Sitting - Karlin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 130 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Karlin. 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 Karlin 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 Karlin 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 Karlin 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.
