“Eliana was wonderful to work with! Great communicator, scheduled a time ahead of our trip to meet the dogs and go over their routine and ask questions. She then kept us in the loop while we were away through texts, photos and videos. For this anxious fur-mom, it was refreshing to working with someone who offered care to detail and clear communication. Would absolutely trust and love to work with Eliana in the future if travel plans mean dogs stay home, it'll be a peace of mind knowing their care is in good hands. Thanks Eliana for the weekend visit!”
“A great team. They both came over to meet us and the pups prior to the sitting engagement. We got regular updates and also questions to confirm anything that wasn’t understood or clear in our instructions. Will DEFINITELY use them again. Thank you Ayla and Han!”
“Janayah is so good with my little Mylo. He absolutely adores her and was just excited to see her as she was to see him. I will book again with Janayah. Thanks for showing love to Mylo!”
“We have total confidence in Kaitlin! We have used her services several times and feel completely comfortable leaving Blue with her. She is very loving and professional !!”
“Edyn was great and my Bulldog loved her and her Cowbell. She did a wonderful job and is coming back tomorrow for a week. We are so happy with her warmth and care for our Bulldog and home. Thank you so much Edyn!! :)”
“Morgan was amazing - daily updates and pictures - arrived to a clean home - and most importantly, my dog was happy and well exercised when I got home! I will definitely use Morgan again! She even sent me pictures of my flowers that bloomed while I was away!”
“India was fantastic with Prince! She stayed with him and gave us all the updates that were necessary. She took very good care of him while we were away. She was also very tidy and cleaned up after herself. You could barely tell that someone stayed in my home! Highly recommend India!”
“We are so happy to have found Adyson! She watched our two pups overnight, and we couldn't be more pleased with the overall experience. Adyson sent us many pictures of her stay and when we returned home, the dogs were incredibly happy, and the house was just as we left it. It is such a relief to find someone so trustworthy and dependable. We appreciate her so much and highly recommend Adyson to anyone looking for an excellent sitter for their furry family members!”
“Maria was fantastic! My dogs are a handful - they're anxious and not great with new people, so I always worry about finding sitters - but they absolutely loved Maria! Maria came by the week before for a meet and greet to get to know the dogs and the house, and for the dogs to get comfortable with her. She spent loads of time connecting with them and playing with them, enough so that when she came back for the house sit, they were excited to see her and not overly anxious about me leaving. It made it much easier for me to go and I was so much less stressed the entire time I was gone. Maria responded quickly to all messages before and during the house sit, and sent me photo updates of the dogs while I was gone. I came back to three very happy dogs who were excited to see me, but also sad to see her go. I'm so enormously grateful to Maria for taking such great care of them and making things so easy on me!”
“Chloe did such a fantastic job taking care of Bailey for a week over the holidays. She sent lots of photos and updates and even took care of a few things around the house for me. Highly recommend having Chloe take care of your loved one.”
“Wow! This crew was amazing. Steven stayed at our house with the pets and Merilyn was on point for daily communication and photos. I met all three at our meet and greet where we introduced all the pets and showed them around the house. They were very thorough, taking notes and making sure they understood how to best keep the pets in thier routine. When we returned everyone was relaxed and happy. They had lots of outdoor time and naps in the big bed. The house was spotless. I would recommend them to anyone and expect we will use them again in the future!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of dogs and have raised several large breed dogs myself. It currently isn’t the right time for me to welcome a new dog into my life full time but I miss having the company. I’m currently working from home so I have lots of flexibility for cuddles, walks and potty breaks. I’m also a runner and happy to take any high energy dogs out for a tour. I do not have a backyard but am close to parks where we can walk. I have space for a dog bed or crate if needed. My neighborhood is dog friendly.
“Alexandrea did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Finn, while we were away for the weekend! He was happy and relaxed when we returned, and our house looked great. We’ll definitely reach out to her again next time we need someone to watch Finn!!”
“Jennifer is the best! So super great. Her reviews are what made me book with her and I’m glad I did. Came home to two happy dogs, three happy cats, three happy goats, three happy chickens, and one very loud happy goose. She also washed bedsheets and generally kept the home in tact with all the animals I have. Thank you thank you Jennifer!!”
“Brittany was so wonderful to our pups! She did an amazing job following our instructions and communicating with both me and my husband. I will have her back in a heartbeat if we need another sitter! She works from home so she was able to be with our pups consistently which is super important for me. Thank you Brittany!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Elbert
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Elbert on Rover is $60.88 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,648 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Elbert. 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 Elbert 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 Elbert 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 Elbert 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elbert. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
