“Lisa was amazing with my 14 year old cat, Wilby. She was attentive, punctual, and kept in regular contact with me the entire week she was caring for him. She stayed a bit longer with my Wilby to give extra love and attention. When we returned home, everything related to Wilby's care was left neatly organized and clean. Lisa is a star!”

About: I've grown up in a home full of animals and have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with Shetland Sheepdogs and have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I've cared for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, so I understand that every stage of life comes with different needs. What matters most to me is getting to know each animal as an individual. Some pets are energetic and playful, while others are shy, independent, or need a little extra patience and reassurance. I take the time to understand their personalities, routines, and boundaries so they feel safe and comfortable. I'm experienced with everyday care, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining familiar routines. I understand that pets are family, and I treat their care with the same attentiveness and responsibility I'd want for my own. I'm an aspiring full time artist with a flexible work schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I'm typically available daily between 11 AM and 8 PM, with some flexibility depending on my schedule. I'm happy to coordinate in advance to accommodate your pet's routine and make sure they receive consistent, attentive care! My preference is to care for pets in their own home, where they're most familiar and comfortable with their surroundings and routines. I'm happy to follow detailed instructions and take the time to learn each pet's individual needs, habits, and preferences. I believe communication is important, so I'll always ask questions if I'm unsure about something rather than make assumptions. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you're away. I'm also open to caring for pets in my own home when it's a good fit. I have a spacious, private grassy yard that my own dogs enjoy throughout the day. Please note that the yard is not fenced, so outdoor time would always be supervised and handled according to your pet's needs and safety requirements.

“Krista took excellent care of our two cats while we were away for a week! She was on time, communicative, respectful, and friendly! During her drop-in visits, she sent notes, pictures, and videos. Krista is clearly a cat person and she followed all of our directions exactly. We will absolutely rely on Krista next time we're away!”

About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting all my life. I also fostered a mid-size mixed terrier. I have two cats of my own. I love how all animals have amazing personalities! I can do dog walking, cat check ins with waste clean-up or over nights which ever you may need. I know how to administer meds to both cats and dogs. It is so important to have your furry loved ones pampered while you are away! I am retired so my availability is flexible. I also enjoy sending photos of your four legged loved one while you are away! I have also watched chickens, turtles, guinea pigs, snakes and iguanas. Looking forward to hearing from you! (I do not charge for additional dogs or cats!) I am retired so I have a flexible schedule! I can go during the day or stay overnight at your home. Whichever you feel most comfortable with would work! When I come to your house, besides walking/feeding, I do waste cleanup as well. Of course, playing is a must! I will definitely send photos and videos so you know how your furry family member is feeling!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and know firsthand how important consistent, detailed care can be. My own dog has GI issues and requires a very specific diet, medication, and feeding routine, so I’m very comfortable following special instructions and keeping a close eye on changes in appetite, behavior, and routine. As a registered nurse, I’m dependable, observant, and used to being detail-oriented. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, medications, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of updates and photos while you’re away. I work a set nursing schedule and have availability on select weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and can be flexible with drop-ins, walks, feeding times, and medication schedules when planned in advance. I take pet care seriously and always follow the owner’s instructions closely. I pay attention to feeding, medications, bathroom habits, behavior, and anything that seems out of the ordinary. I’m careful with doors, leashes, gates, and each pet’s individual routine, and I’ll send updates and photos so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.

About: I’m a total cat person with four of my own, so my day-to-day is all about feline care. I'm well-versed in the practical side of things, like sticking to strict feeding routines and giving oral or topical meds, but I also love getting to know different personalities. I have a real soft spot for shy or anxious cats and take a go-at-their-own-pace approach to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m currently working a hybrid schedule and have time during my days at home to come care for your pets, and can also do early mornings and evenings. When I'm sitting for your cats, I focus on sticking to their normal routine so they feel completely safe. I know cats can act a little differently when their humans are away, whether that means eating a bit less, hiding, or changing up their habits, so I keep a close eye on their behavior without pushing them. I take my cues from your cat, whether they want non-stop playtime, cuddles, or just a quiet presence while they settle in. I'm also fully comfortable with oral or topical meds, precise feedings, and litter upkeep, and you'll get daily updates and photos after every visit so you always know how they're doing.

I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I grew up in Oklahoma on 90 acres with cows, horses, cats, and dogs. I've always had a passion for animals and the outdoors. One of the unique experiences I offer is adventure outings for your pup. Living near the beach allows me to provide refreshing beach walks, and as an avid hiker, I also enjoy taking dogs on scenic trail adventures where they can safely explore and enjoy nature. I currently have two dogs of my own—a Miniature Dachshund and a German Shepherd mix we rescued. If your dog would benefit from a positive, supervised social outing, I’m happy to provide that as well. Growing up, I regularly cared for and walked neighbors’ and family members’ pets, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. My goal is to give you peace of mind while your pet has a fun, enriching experience. You can rest assured that your furry family members will be cared for and loved as if they were my own. As a full-time dog dad to my two pups, I maintain a flexible schedule and am readily available to help ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s a quick neighborhood walk for exercise or an extended stay with a pet who needs a little extra companionship, I’m here to provide dependable, attentive care. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and fully cared for. I am committed to providing a high level of personalized care and attention to every client. I ensure that when you book a walk or service with me, your pets receive my full, undivided focus. This dedicated one-on-one time allows me to tailor each visit to your pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. I also have a spacious SUV available for safe transportation if needed. For dogs who enjoy a little extra adventure, I offer nature hikes as an additional service, giving them the opportunity to explore and exercise in a safe, supervised environment. Feel free to send me a message with what you’re looking for, and I’ll respond as soon as possible. I look forward to connecting with you and your pets!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s energetic pups who love long walks or senior cats who prefer quiet companionship, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. As a proud pet parent to two dogs, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. I treat every pet like family—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also experienced with administering medication, handling special diets, and sticking to detailed routines. I offer reliable house sitting and pet care in the Fairfield County area and pride myself on excellent communication and peace of mind for pet parents. Whether you’re heading out for a weekend or an extended trip, I’ve got you—and your pets—covered! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the day to focus on walking, playing with, and caring for pets. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or extended overnight stays, I’m able to dedicate the time and attention your pets need to feel happy and comfortable. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love being able to make it a meaningful part of my week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—whether that means feeding schedules, medication, walk times, or playtime preferences. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space. I also keep the home tidy and always provide updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. While I currently focus on house sitting and drop-in visits in the Fairfield County area, I treat every home with respect and every pet like part of the family. Whether it’s a quick check-in or an overnight stay, I bring a calm, caring presence that pets can trust.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lake Carmel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lake Carmel is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $20 per visit. 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 390 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lake Carmel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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.

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

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.

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.
