About: About Us 💍 We’re Nicole and Chris, an engaged couple and lifelong animal lovers. We both grew up surrounded by pets. We are very experienced and comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether you need one-time pet care or someone you can count on regularly, we’d love to help! If you'd like, we can arrange a meet & greet beforehand, and you're welcome to take a look at our home/yard. About Our Dog 🐺 We have a German Shepherd named Nala who loves having other dogs around and is always excited to make new friends. She’s friendly, playful, and enjoys being around other dogs, cats, and kids. We both work from home - Nicole one day a week and Chris the other four days - so someone is always home with your pet. We have a very spacious, fully-fenced yard located in Rutland where your dog(s) can safely roam free and play. Our home is VERY pet-friendly, and dogs/cats are welcome to go wherever they please. We have a dog door that allows dogs to go in/out of the house, along with plenty of cozy spots to relax. We also have a large crate available if needed. We’re happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate different preferences for walking, sleeping, feeding, and play.

About: I have experience caring for both senior dogs and puppies. My most notable experience was walking Duke, a young golden retriever puppy, daily for a full year. During that time, I helped leash train him, worked on good walking habits, and made sure he got plenty of physical and mental stimulation. I love being outdoors and believe fresh air and enrichment are so important for pets. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I do have three rescue cats, one of whom is special needs with only one eye. This has given me firsthand experience with attentive, compassionate care and understanding animals with unique needs. I am currently an engineering student at university, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m often able to stop by between classes or on days when I don’t have classes at all. I’m usually finished with school early most days, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. Spending time outside with pets is something I really enjoy! it’s a great way to decompress and reset while giving animals the attention and exercise they need. I’ve had experience with both drop-in care and overnight stays in a pet owner’s home. For drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining the pet’s routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship—while the owner is away. I’ve also stayed in clients’ homes for the full duration of their trips, ensuring their pets receive consistent care and familiarity. I enjoy both options and am happy to tailor my services to the owner’s preferences and their pet’s routine.
About: I’ve owned dogs all my life and am fortunate to now have a small Pomeranian girl who is VERY sociable. She gets along with any dog and would be present if your dog is staying at my house.

I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention, exercise and companionship they need. I genuinely love spending time with animals and am happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, playtime and pet sitting throughout the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I will always follow your usual routine, feeding instructions and any specific care needs you provide. I’m attentive, responsible and will treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: I owned and took care of my lovely cat Misha for 9 years prior to moving to a home that didn’t allow pets. She was given lots of love, a warm home and all the attention she needed. I also dog sat for 5 years and enjoyed having a furry four legged companion to keep me company. I took the pup for walks, ensured they were fed and also had some play time! Now I’m a mature and responsible university student looking to provide exceptional care to some fur babies, get some much needed pet therapy and have a companion on my walks! Recently graduated master’s student currently taking time off to relax, spend time with family, and travel as well as figure out where to settle down. Lots of time every day to adjust to your schedule and needs! I live about a 10 minute walk from a calm park with a designated fenced dog park and with only one other person ensuring your pet can fully relax!

I have experience giving medications, following specific care instructions, keeping up with feeding and bathroom routines, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and exercise.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Ellison is $32 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $50 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.
There are 462 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Ellison. About 85% of Ellison sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Ellison 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!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
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.
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.
