“Katey was amazing. She was very communicative and attuned to my pets needs and personalities. She was reliable and I came home to happy pets. I would definitely use her again!!”

“Evan & Quinn were the most thoughtful and reliable pet sitters we’ve ever met. They were able to help with a longer housesitting stay and care for our dog Sky AND her 5 newborn puppies. They went above and beyond to keep us updated daily and deal with all the little quirks and concerns that came up. They were also very courteous of our home and left everything neat and tidy. We would trust them with any pet care and will absolutely book them again.”

“This was our first time using Rover and our first experience with an in‑home overnight sitter, and Brian delivered exceptional service. His communication was consistent and clear, he was reliable and he arrived exactly as scheduled. We returned to two well‑cared‑for dogs and a home exactly as we left it. Brian set a high standard for our first experience, and we would confidently book with him again.”

“Katherine did a great job taking care of our dog and the house. We really appreciated her updates, communication, and cleanliness. We would highly recommend her and will be reaching out again in the future!”

“Autumn was a thoughtful, attentive, and caring cat+house sitter for my wife and I while we were traveling. One of our cats doesn’t normally get along with anyone and seemed more comfortable around Autumn than any of our other cat sitters! We are usually very stressed about our cats when we travel but having Autumn around made my wife and I feel like our cats were in great hands. Thank you Autumn!”

“Alisha is just wonderful! We have a senior dog and another who tends to have separation anxiety. Our dogs loved her and they were very well cared for in our absence. I 100% recommend Alisha!”
“Emalie was a great sitter for our two dogs and two cats. She was very communicative and shared photos of our littles daily. She followed our care instructions and was conscientious of each animals specific needs. We look forward to hiring her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for about six years and have experience with dogs, cats, and other pets. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with pet sitting, feeding, walks, playtime, and daily care. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, from energetic young animals to older pets that need a little extra attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and always do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is very flexible and I am generally available at most times. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and last minute bookings whenever needed. I focus on clear communication, consistent routines, and attentive care so pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident, informed, and reassured while they are away.
“Alexis was absolutely amazing. She house sat for us and took care of our dog (with special behavioral needs) and our cat for 10 days. The pets were so happy when we returned, it was as if we had never left. We could tell they were well cared for. She was tidy and well communicative. It was also incredibly helpful that she did a meet and greet before with our pup just to ensure things ran smoothly before we departed for our trip. We felt very secure while away and will definitely be contacting her in the future! She is the absolute sweetest.”

About: Since I could remember we always had animals part of are family from dogs all the way too horses. So I’ve come to love and care for all type of Animals from small to large, young to old. At this moment I’ve taken some time away from work and focus on myself.So every animal in my care will have one hundred percent of my attention. Having a lot of time on my hands now allow me to go on long walks or adventure to close by dog parks to allow your dog to make some new friends
“We have used Todd for every trip we’ve gone on that he was available for that last couple years. I cannot give him high enough praise. He is a delight, is great at communicating, and takes such incredible care and pride in what he does. This trip, we had to make some last minute changes as one of our pets sadly crossed the rainbow bridge, Todd handled our loss with grace and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. We will forever choose Todd to take care of our pets when he is available and are so grateful for him!”

“Keri was a fantastic caretaker for my two dogs. She followed the care instructions, took them on a daily walk, and administered medication 2x daily. A highlight was all the photos she sent of my dogs happy, relaxed, and cared for. Keri also left our home in clean condition. I would definitely have her take care of the dogs again!”

“Amanda did an amazing job looking after our fur babies. She kept us updated on our pups and she gave us a peace of mind knowing that our pups will be well taken care of. We will definitely re-book with her in the future.”


About: What sets me apart is 10 years of hands on animal care driven by a deep love for animals. I am not just a sitter, I am someone who truly loves being with them. I have experience training energetic puppies with patience and positive reinforcement and providing gentle, attentive care for seniors who need slower walks, joint support and medication if required. I believe great care is in the details, so I make sure every animal is fed on schedule, always has fresh water, gets plenty of exercise and has real playtime and affection. You will get updates, photos and peace of mind knowing your best friend is safe, happy and loved. Pet care is the center of my daily and weekly routine right now. I currently have an open and flexible schedule and I am dedicating this summer to helping families with reliable dog walks and boarding. That means I am available for early mornings, midday walks, evenings, weekends and last minute needs. On a typical day my routine is built around the dogs in my care with walks, feeding on schedule, fresh water, exercise, playtime and lots of attention. I love animals and i’m looking forward to giving your animals my full focus and care! Nice sized, clean home with hardwood floors, AC/heat, and no other pets or people so your pet gets full 1-on-1 attention. No fenced yard so all outdoor time is supervised and on-leash with potty breaks every 2-3 hours plus daily walks. I follow your routine exactly and send lots of photo updates. In your home, I stick to their schedule, keep things tidy, and treat your space with respect.
“Felix was such an attentive and caring sitter that I’m so lucky to have had the pleasure to be with my cats during a short stay!! My girls were so well-cared for and it was evident as soon as I got home ? Thank you so much, Felix!!”

“Quessandra did an amazing job with Bella. I reached out to her super late at night and last minute and she came through in a pinch. She also sent lots of pics which eased my mind. I will be using her again and again to keep Bella company.”

About: I grew up on a farm and helped take care of a variety of animals. I've seen a lot and know how to handle an emergency if it comes up. Most of my experience is with dogs, cats and birds. I have cared for: small, medium and large dog breeds including ones labeled as "aggressive" (German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Dobermans, etc). The cats I have cared for have been house and barn cats and most were American Shorthair. Other animals I have cared for: variety of doves, variety of parrots both small and large (both seed and nectar feeding), helped rehab a crow once, mini horses, llamas, sheep, goats, cows, chickens, peacocks, pheasants, iguana, snakes, rabbits, mice, hamsters, fish, eels, and frogs. Property Maintenance: I love gardens and have helped with basic maintenance tasks and harvesting. I can assist with weeding, watering, etc. I can help harvest flowers for arrangement or drying. I can also help with harvesting produce and process it for long term storage if needed. I use to be a home owner, so I can do basic home maintenance such as changing air filters, yard work, collecting mail, answering calls, etc. I have rented and traveled a fair bit too. I can also do daily cleaning, laundry, etc. Specialty Skills: Some of the dogs and cats I cared for had medication requirements that I needed to attend to and be mindful of. I have limited experience with senior animals but I do have some. Twister lived to be very old for a Jack Russel and experienced seizures later in her life. She lived on for many years still and even survived a broken pelvis from being hit by a car. I helped her rehab during that period of time too. I know how to apply flea/tick medication, and administer pill medication to dogs and cats. The birds I raised did have parasites once. I was able to identify the problem and take them to the vet for treatment. Since a lot of animals I have cared for were outside animals, I also know how to tend wounds and dress them. I have an eye for spotting issues and unusual behavior to quickly get the help the animals needs. Booked for July, August and first week of September. Looking for sits in the Tacoma to Portland region from Sept 9th onwards. Reach out to me today before I fill up! I'm an artist and project manager. I work remotely and currently focused on my art business. I am searching for places of inspiration and maybe fall in love with a town I can one day call my home. I know I want to move, but I'm not sure what's next. This is my chance to explore that. For any animal I'm taking care of I need to know their daily schedule and any rules they need to follow. Any behavior issues or sensitivities or fears would be great to know as well. Knowing this will help me keep your pets on routine, calm and happy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 747 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Elbe. 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 Elbe 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 Elbe 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 Elbe 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.
