About: I have grown up with pets and still have pets. I love animals and make sure they're well loved and cared for. Will make sure they're well fed, watered, and can get all they're energy out. I am free most days except for bible study, church, and during college classes. I like staying busy and having a lot of opportunities and helping people. make sure they're water is clean and full, make sure they have plenty to eat and spend time to play with them and spend plenty of time outside.
“Stacy was wonderful! She took great care of our dog and our home. She communicated with very well - A++ - and that is so important to us! Our dog was in great spirits when we came home from our trip which lets us know she received top notch care! Highly recommend Stacy!”
“Logen is the best and my girls loved spending time with her while I was on vacation. She kept me updated throughout the days and even sent pictures. It was such a relief to know that Logen was taking care of my babies maybe even better than I do. I am pretty sure they were a little disappointed when I came home. Logen made sure my needy dog had her daily meditation and even took them on daily walks. I will definitely be using her for all my pet sitting needs!”
“Diann was an awesome sitter for our Bowie & home. She provided regular pictures of Bowie, left our home in impeccable condition, and made our family vacation so much more stress free. My husband & I will definitely be booking with Diann again in the future. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve raised one dog since he was a puppy. He is now almost 13, and another who’s now 6. I truly understand every stage of a dog’s life, from playful puppy energy to senior care and comfort. Over the years, I’ve also done off and on petsitting for neighbors, caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they always feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. My schedule varies weekly, so my availability may change. That said, I communicate promptly, confirm visits ahead of time, and make sure all pets are able to receive consistent, reliable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick to all instructions closely, from feeding times to preferred walking routes. I always provide photo updates and check ins so owners know their pets are happy and in good hands.
About: Hello my name is Fern and I’m the critter sitter! My schedule is pretty flexible I’m in Salem, Va Fridays through sundays every week. I’ve been owing/caring for my own animals and others’ for 11 years. Dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats, exotics, fish and horses specifically. I’m quite experienced administering oral, topical and insulin type medications. I raised and trained my own service dog (in pictures - the brown muttley girl<3) so I have a lot of animal psychology, animal training and one year of veterinary experience and education. I will never give unwarranted advice if it is not asked for; that’s professional respect. But if you ask me I might have some tips or could help figure out w/e :). My world outside my M-Thursday inventory job pretty much revolves around caring for my partner’s doggy and having adventures with him so I figured I’ve missed working w animals in that capacity a lot so why not get back into it when I’ll just be bored otherwise :) Since Mason (Boxer smooshy face brindle in pics) is reactive, my residence is not an option currently for anything. I’m happy to travel 9 miles outside of east Salem for anybody. I follow verbal or written instructions and medication/walk/playtime schedules to the T. I send daily pictures multiple times a day for parent reassurance because that’s important to me.
About: I had a dog growing up, and he was my best friend. I may not have any special training, but I'll make sure your furry friend is safe and sound! I can only work on days off, because of my primary job. These days are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I will work nightshifts mainly, but I will do daytime if needed. I treat every animal with kindness and tender care. I will play with them, walk them, and feed them, and ensure they aren't all by themselves!
“Christie was the absolute best dog sitter. She arranged a meet and greet before our trip. She texted when she was on her way to confirm her arrival. I received daily pictures and check ins and my house was left in perfect condition. She even washed dog textiles before we arrived home. Plus a last minute illness for one of our pups was no problem. She administered meds like the professional she is. We will use her again.”
“Thomas provided excellent care for both our dogs over the course of 5 days. He also provided photos/videos with updates which were extremely appreciated. I would definitely recommend. 10/10”
About: I am a happily employed veterinary assistant! I am willing to walk, sit, stay, and roll over with your cats and dogs. With my experience in veterinary care, I am able to see signs of any sort of potential separation anxiety or sickness and will help keep them calm and comfortable while you’re away. I have two cats and a rabbit, but I feel plenty comfortable caring for all kinds of creatures! I look forward to meeting you and your beautiful family members! I currently have a full time job at a local animal hospital! I would be able to stop by and care for your babies before and after work, with a possibility of visiting on my lunch break based on distance. I love to stimulate fur-kiddos physically and mentally by taking them on walks, playing with them, and letting them explore all of the neighborhood smells. I will be able to spot the signs of discomfort quickly and act efficiently if needed. Although I plan to just cuddle your pets while you’re away to keep them warm for ya!
“Hailey was exceptional!! She was on time, communicative, and extremely respectful. She sent me updates and pictures of my fur baby. I definitely would highly recommend her.”
“Randi is AMAZING!!! She stay with our home and animals for a week! We got daily pictures and videos of the animals. She great with communication! She left our house just as we had left it! We will be rebooking with Randi!”

I will help with all house chores, cleaning messes, training, exercise and feeding. Can't wait to meet your furry babies! I on a daily wake up at 8am and feed my animals homemade food, for both the cats and dogs. The rabbits get leafy greens. I have a very tight schedule litter box gets cleaned once a day and the dogs go outside or for walks every 2 to 3 hours. Then everyone gets fed again at around 5. I will make sure to stick to your routine! I will help; feed, water, clean, walk/let outside, exercise, and even train. I will do the very best I can to ensure your animals have the best experience.
About: I’ve been in rescue for about 6 years now! I’ve fostered over 200 animals, whether it be dogs, puppies, kittens, cats, and even done hospice. I’m experienced in giving medication as well as neonatal care. I’d love to branch out in animal care and start caring for animals outside the shelter, which is why I’m here! :)) I have two dogs of my own Joey and Pickles they are the sweetest seniors. And my cat Joseph is the spunkiest kitty, they are my family! I currently work at home, with my hours up to me. I’d love to incorporate my love for animals as much as possible in my open schedule! I’m a rule follower, so whatever’s needed I’ll make sure it gets done. Walking w harness? No problem. Crating to feed? Roger that.

I consider my dogs my own children and would treat any animal with the same regard! Pet care is my job! My routine is often shaped around the schedules & needs of my pets or clients' pets, and I like it that way! I care for my pets in my own home and treat every client's home like I would my own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mount Carmel on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 198 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Carmel. 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 Mount Carmel 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 Mount Carmel 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 Mount Carmel 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
