“Stephanie was great! She stayed at our home for 10 days to take care of our cat, Loki, and did such a great job. Her communication was fantastic — I loved getting photo updates and hearing how things were going while we were away. She’s so sweet, and it was clear that Loki felt comfortable and enjoyed her company. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy home, and I couldn’t ask for better care. Highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”
“MaShon provided such a great experience while we were out of town. She had great communication from the very beginning, and our pups absolutely loved meeting her and being under her care. We appreciated all of the updates and photos we received while we were gone. And, she left the house in perfect condition! We will definitely book with her again!!”
“Ben went above and beyond with my pups. He sent updated pictures throughout the day, took them on multiple walks, and took them outside to play several times a day. Anyone worried about their pups when going out of town, I would absolutely recommend and trust Ben!”
About: Hello my name is Sarah! I have been pet sitting for 13 years. I worked at a vet clinic for a while and have a passion for all things animals from cats and dogs to reptiles and farm animals. I also worked on a ranch for about 3 years in Texas and cared for and helped train K9 dogs, so I definitely have some experience to give in that department if needed. Since I worked at a vet clinic I am also capable of administrating medicine if required as well. I hope this finds you well and you reach out to me to care for your furbabies! Hope to hear from you soon! I’m currently trying to make this my full time so I’m available when needed and have plenty of time to play and care for your furbabies! I will only care for pets in their own home as to not stress them out with unfamiliar territory and animals. They will be well cared for and get lots of walks, play time, and any additional care needs or instructions that you may want or need! I do require written care instructions as to have full communication of what is needed, I have found that it’s best for all parties just incase anything is not talked over during our initial meeting or conversations.
“Taryn is an extremely reliable sitter. Any request or accommodation our kitties needed, Taryn was there! Taryn stayed in our apartment for a week and our kitties were so happy to have somebody there the whole time we were gone. Will book again!”
About: I have hands-on experience from interning at a veterinarian clinic and working for a local pet care company similar to Rover. As a pet owner myself (dog and epileptic kitten), I know how to handle walks, feeding, bathing, medications, and more. Your pet will be in caring and capable hands! I am available most weekends. I also work from home often, which provides me more flexibility. However, days I am in the office, I am available mornings, lunch time, and evenings. I provide attentive, personalized care by ensuring pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of affection. I follow routines, administer medications if needed, and maintain a safe, comfortable environment in both my home and clients’ homes. I have an epileptic kitten, so am no stranger to anything pet related.
“Sarah was fantastic… very communicative, respectful of our space, sent photos and, most importantly, loved on our pups well. We had to book her last minute it we’ll definitely plan to have Sarah back in the future!”
“Jodi was such a joy to connect with and she took phenomenal care of our sweet pup Goji while we were away! We’re lucky to have found her! We’re recommending her to all our friends & family!”
About: Medically retired Veteran and stay at home dad with lots of time on my hands to care for fur kids and keep a watchful eye on them. I have dog sat for friends' pets and personal pets that I've owned for over 30 years. I don't currently have another job. So, aside from medical appointments, I don't have any issues with daily or weekly routines. I should be able to conform to any and all needs. I always care for every pet as though that pet were my own. I know how sensitive each pet can be, so I try my best to keep that in mind when dealing with someone else's pet.
About: I have had pets for my entire life. I have experience giving oral medications as I have had geriatric dogs. Your pets deserve to have as much of their normal routine as possible while their parents are out of town. I am available for full day care on Wednesday, Thursday, some Fridays, and weekends as a supplement to my full time job. I no longer have pets of my own and would love the opportunity to love your pets as if they were mine! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. They deserve to be comfortable in their homes, maintaining their normal routines. I would love to help!
“Adara was amazing with our dog and home. She was such a sweetheart. She provided pictures and updates along the way. We would definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Abby was excellent with my two rescue dogs! They are each 50 lbs with two different personalities and she handled them perfectly. She was easy-going with them and made them feel comfortable in the house while I was away. She kept up on their medicine schedule and even swept up all their hair! I highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for a responsible, caring sitter.”
“Cassondra housesat and watched our 1 yr old dog and 2 cats while were were gone for over a week- I was nervous as we had not been away from our dig since adopting her, and she has some anxiety. Cassondra took excellent care of all our animals, everyone was healthy and happy when we returned! She sent us regular updates and pictures, handled any minor things that happened, and left our house spotless. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Olivia did a great job caring for our dog over the weekend while we went out of town. She came by for a meet and greet the weekend before, and stayed in touch before and during our trip. Olivia arrived on time and kept us updated with texts and pictures while we were away. We will definitely trust our fur baby to her care again in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Thank you Brittney for taking such good care of our fur babies. As you know I was nervous about leaving Coraline, our blind, deaf, toothless wonder Benjamin Button. The updates helped a lot. I know Millie loved having you there. Luigi and Shadow did great!”
About: I love animals and have cared for cats and dogs for over 15 years and have been a pet owner for 20 years. I have references and am trustworthy. I am familiar with large dog breeds and am not scared or intimidated. I am available to house sit overnight any day of the week. I’m available for walks and potty breaks in the morning, afternoon, and evenings. I care for your pet as if he/she were my own. Whatever instructions you provide, I follow. In my own own, I will keep the same routines and sleep patterns that you have at home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Karns
MaShon is an excellent pet sitter. She took such good care of our dog and cat ❤️ She was very communicative and kept us updated with photos. When we left our dog wasn’t feeling well, but MaShon knew just what our dog needed to feel better:) The house was tidied up before we got home. When it comes to holistic care, she is a wealth of knowledge!! Will definitely use her services again!
Elle was truly a gift to our family! If I could give her 1000 stars I would! She treated our dog and piggies like her own and what a gift that is when you leave your babies. She sent many updates with photos that put my heart at ease! If you don’t book Elle, you will be sad! She is the best!!!
Alex was AMAZING! She stepped up and covered an eight day booking last minute when the original sitter cancel two days before our trip. She updated us with pictures several times a day. Our house was cleaned pups were happy when we got home. They liked her so much they keep going to the guest room door looking for her! We will definitely rebook her and give her the highest recommendation!!!!
Jacey was an amazing sitter for my puppy Kieran! I had to go out of town last mine for a few days and while I was gone she sent me daily updates on how he was doing! The next time I need him watched I will 100 percent be booking with her first before anyone else!
Absolutely incredible pet sitter! She watched my two cats for 18 days and treated them like royalty. She learned their personalities instantly, sent me daily videos of their progress, and even slept in the same room so they never felt lonely. My shy cat opened up to her, my playful one was obsessed, and honestly… I think they’re a little disappointed I came back because they were living their best lives with her😆 If you want someone who brings pure heart, energy, and dedication, she’s the one. Five stars isn't enough🤩

The average cost of House Sitting in Karns is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $46 and $67 per night.

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 Karns 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 Karns 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 Karns 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
