About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since I was young as well as helped out my friends and neighbors with their dogs when needed! I love interacting with dogs so much, enough that I am going to school for it! I currently have no job so I have open availability! If you see a day on my calendar that looks to be closed off, shoot me a message! Chances are I just forgot to open it up :) I have a fenced in yard at my house though I also have three dogs living with me so it is preferred to pet sit at the owners residence. I am willing to do anything your dogs needs at your home, if that includes walks, playing, or cleaning then so be it!
“Blyth made my trip out of town a dream come true for my dog and me! The meet and greet was great and allowed time to check out the property and get a feel for my dog’s behaviors and needs, and Blyth was super respectful of my home and Dulce’s schedule. She also has great experience and great energy with dogs. Blyth sent great photos and updates as well, which really was excellent for peace of mind while I was in an out of cell coverage. Would love to work with Blyth again!”
“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!”
“We felt totally comfortable and at ease with Cassidy. She brought along her adorable service dog, and Pippin really enjoyed having a playmate around, which made us even more happy. We look forward to working with Cassidy in the future!”
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, which includes dogs, cats, and bigger animas. I’ve handled everything from daily walks and playtime to feeding and check-ins, always making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I work full-time during the day, but I’m able to spend my mornings, evenings, and nights giving your pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I’m available 7 days a week and can commit to longer stays, making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m open to taking dogs on care rides and to dog parks for extra fun and exercise, if that’s something you’d like. Also once I have my own home—hopefully this summer—I’ll be happy to offer a comfortable space where pets can stay with me if they’re comfortable in a new environment. I do have a very friendly, playful dog as well who loves meeting new friends, so your pup can enjoy some social time if they’re comfortable with that.
“Kim was amazing with Gunner! She gave him so much attention and care while I was away, and the regular photo updates gave me total peace of mind seeing how happy and well taken care of he was. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Kim the next time I need coverage!”
About: I grew up around and have experience with horses, farm animals, cats, and dogs. I am partial to Maine Coons and large breed dogs, especially boxer/bully breeds and all their quirkiness but really enjoy caring for all breeds and sizes of cats and dogs. I enjoy gardening and am also happy to help out with any plants or gardens in need of care as well. I work remotely so I will be available to be around a majority of the day and will have ample time to play and interact with your pet. Whether your pet loves chasing squirrels, snuggling on the couch, being adored 24/7 or all the above and then some-I’m their person. I’ve cared for senior cats and dogs, pets with special diets, high anxiety and high-energy tail-waggers for over 20 years. I’m all about sticking to your pet’s routine like clockwork-even if it involves gourmet chicken and rice at 6 a.m.
“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!”
“Our boys love Ayla and Han! They have stayed in our home a few times now and always leave it perfect and our doodles are happy when we get back. They send the best happy dog pictures while we are away. We don’t worry about the boys when they are in Ayla and Hans hands.”
“Bronwyn was absolutely fantastic in every way. She was very responsible, sent plenty of updates, and took care of my pup as I would. Highly recommend. Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of all my family’s pets since I was 11 - dogs and cats alike, including senior dogs and cats, and puppies. My family currently has two cats and two dogs and I love every second I get with them and would love to show your pets that same love. I recently moved to Colorado from California to start a PA program which does not start until August. I am looking to gain some extra money and taking care of pets is something I love to do. I am living in an apartment with my husband and our 2 year old domestic, medium hair tuxedo cat. He is a mostly indoor cat, but I do take him on walks occasionally. For my family’s dogs, they tend to stay inside but we have a doggy door that gives them easy access to the backyard, where they can relax, play, or use the bathroom.
“Brittany did a great job caring for our dog, cats, and chickens while we were away. She took great pictures and sent regular updates. The house was clean when we got back. We would definitely hire her again!”
About: My love for animals is genuine. They've been a part of my life since childhood. I often pet sit for my friends and family alike. While being cared for in my home, our four legged friends will enjoy playing fetch, hide and seek, tug of war, and of course getting cuddles too. I welcome elderly dogs as well. I have experience in administering medications, assisting elderly dogs with walking issues, hip issues, along with the blind, and the deaf dogs; they are all welcome and well taken care of here. I do allow most dogs on some furniture with a blanket provided by the owner. However, I do not allow them in beds. * I only accept dogs from one family at a time, and I only can accommodate 2 dogs at once. *. (There is an increase in my rates during the Christmas and Thanksgiving Holidays, that differs from other Holidays.) I have an open calendar most of the time. I do not work outside the home, and I have plenty of time for your pets. All our four legged friends get spoiled in the house of Morris. I have a fenced yard. I live near several parks, and there are many trails around my neighborhood with 2 dog parks in the area. *I will only take them to the dog park with the owners approval.*
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 9 . My family has relied on me to walk their dogs , feed and bath them I’m currently employed part time but seeking to work extra hours. Trying to find gigs such as this which could work with my class schedules and my other personal things. I have a fenced yard in my house, and friendly dogs as well. I usually take my dogs on walks every morning and evening depending.
“Mary Sue deserves more than 5 stars. She went above and beyond for our 3 hounds! We will definitely be rebooking for our future needs! She kept us updated multiple times throughout each day and gave us picture updates to ensure our dogs were in great hands! Our place was clean when she left and our dogs were beyond happy which is everything we wanted after coming back home from a long trip! Would definitely recommend Mary Sue and he will use her again in the future!”
“Audrey was excellent! Very attentive to our dogs and their needs and made sure they had everything they needed. Kept our home very clean and ensured we had pictures of our animals daily. We will absolutely be using her services the next time we go out of town!”
“Chiara was great! Absolutely loved having her as a dog sitter (and I know my dog probably did too!) Very responsible and great communication with pictures and updates. Would defintely use her again for dog sitting!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Elbert is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $67 per night. 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.

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 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.
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.

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.
