About: I have always had animals starting with my first cat when i was 8. he was my first experience that showed me how much i love animals and my love for them quickly grew! i have had 4 horses over the last couple of years along with multiple dogs. i own a 12 year old golden retriever who has been in our family since he was a puppy. i have always been a neighbor and friends go to for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter! i am currently working part time along with my classes for my enrollment in a flight program. i have some gaps in between my obligations throughout the day, along with some days off throughout the week that i would love to pet sit during. i do not offer pet sitting in my own home, however i can assure you that your pet and your belongings are in good hands, no matter if it’s a quick drop in or a walk. you can be sure that things will be exactly how you left them.
“Maranda was absolutely incredible with Boone. She kept me updated with adorable photos, made him special puppy ice cream, and took wonderful care of him while I was away. She’s incredibly kind, attentive, and a wonderful communicator. The house was spotless when I got home and Boone was relaxed and happy. She’s trustworthy, loving, and exactly the kind of sitter every dog parent dreams of! Boone and I are so lucky to have found her.”

“Kristen was amazing! My dog has a lot going on with her, Kristen didn't even blink. She walked my dog more than I do! She sent plenty of photos while I was gone and my dog had the best time with her.”


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.
“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!”


About: I grew up in the country (Elizabeth) on some acreage, surrounded by animals of all kinds, so caring for them is second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve had hands-on experience with horses, chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigs, dogs, and cats—each with their own personalities and needs. As a current dog, cat, and chicken owner, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your animals. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. Working from home or in transit to meet clients, my schedule is flexible. I live in Elizabeth and when I’m not in my home office, I’m in Parker, Castle Rock, Kiowa and surrounding areas. As I work for myself and set my own schedule, I’m available for daily or multiple times a day to support you in caring for your fur babies when you are unable to be with them. My own fur babies are a bit spoiled. When I’m at home they are generally nearby. We spend time outdoors on the property regularly. (though Chloe prefers to be inside in her favorite chair) Otis loves walks and eagerly hops in the car when we go for walks in town. (and he looks forward to the pup cup that follows) Otis is about 140lbs (cane corso) and Chloe was rescued from a ranch where she had been severely injured and semi feral. She was very skittish and she has blossomed into an attention seeking snuggler with a continuous purs.
“We have used Debra multiple times now and we are always impressed with the level of care she provides. She sends pictures each day and keeps us updated on our dogs. The girls are definitely spoiled with their walks each day!”

“Ciara watched our small 2 yr old golden doodles for a few days and nights. She is sweet, caring, bubbly, patient, and you can see that she loves dogs. They absolutely loved her which made us feel secure that our two pups were in good hands while we were out of the state for a family funeral. We left her plenty of puppy instructions and seemed she followed them. She sent photos of our fur babies during our time away. She definitely took great care of them. We would definitely use her again for puppy sitting.”


“We cannot thank Taylor enough for watching our dogs while we were away. We met her prior to the trip and the dogs were happy with her instantly (I enjoyed chatting with her too). During our time away, she checked in a few times and I had no worries that the dogs were enjoying their time with her in the comfort of their own home. She left the house in perfect condition and I could tell that the dogs had been well cared for while we were gone. I highly recommend her, and would absolutely have her care for our dogs in the future. We all were so lucky to have found her!”
About: I have pet set for a number of years for my family and friends and I have pets myself and some have found forever homes with me. I have an open house where the animals feel safe and can be themselves. Playing is always encouraged and lots of lap time and loving is always available. I know how important pets are in making our lives happy and healthy. My pets have their own crate that they can go into whenever they want, I even have a cat that enjoys his safe crate too. Your pet will be treated the same as I treat my own pets and my pets are spoiled rotten. You can feel confident that your pet is taken care of and safe while you are away.
“Jewelia was great with our dogs and home. Lots of great communication, pictures and videos! When we came home the dogs were happy and the house was very well taken care of. Highly recommend!”

“Wow! So happy we had these guys come and watch our four cats! They are amazing! Definitely a dream team! They are so organized and conscientious and the care of your pets. We had a lot of pictures and were able to relax and enjoy our time away so we didn’t have to worry about our home or pets. It’s so nice to have sitters that treat your pets like you treat your pets. We are definitely having them house sit and pet sit from now on. Thank you so much guys!”


About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had dogs and a cat in the house, so caring for pets isn't just something I do — it's something I genuinely love. That foundation gave me an early appreciation for how much patience, attention, and affection animals need to truly thrive. Over the past several years, I've built hands-on experience pet sitting for my four brothers, all of whom have dogs. Through them, I've cared for a wide variety of breeds and sizes — from a 9-week-old German Shepherd/Husky mix puppy who needed constant supervision and socialization, all the way to a laid-back 9-year-old Black Lab who just wanted belly rubs and a steady routine. Every dog is different, and I've learned to read and adapt to each one's personality and needs. Beyond family, I've also cared for friends' dogs, including a one-year-old puppy for a full week and a weekend with a pair of adult Huskies — a breed known for being energetic, vocal, and strong-willed. I handled it with a smile. One thing that sets me apart: I work from home. That means no long hours where your pup is left alone wondering when someone's coming back. I'm there all day, every day — for walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company on the couch. Because I travel frequently, I haven't gotten a dog of my own — but that just means I pour all that love into the pets I care for. When your pet is with me, they're not just being watched. They're being genuinely enjoyed. I'd be honored to be someone you trust with your furry family member while you're away. I work from home full time. I will be available 80-90% of the time to sit and cuddle, walk, or feed your pets while in our care. I love dogs, but since I travel frequently I haven't gotten one of our own yet, so we pour all our love into the animals we board or sit! I have a two-story single-family home. I am on a corner lot, so our backyard is a great size, and all fenced in! There are also have several walking trails and a park within walking distance to take the dogs. No other pets will be here while your dog/s are here with us. I have hardwood floors throughout the home with carpet in the bedrooms and basement. Dogs are welcome on our furniture with me!
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.
“Janelle was amazing. She sent pictures every day of the animals and took them on long walks. It was so nice knowing that the dogs were being well taken care of while away.”

“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!”

“Laura was phenomenal. It was a last minute booking and she went out of her way to make our life easy while I’m out of town and my husband having a changing work schedule. She was an extra hand that adapted to changes quickly which we both appreciated.”


About: For the past few years, I have taken care of pets for my grandparents, friends, and family members, and I would love to help you out as well! I have 4 pets of my own at my house, 3 dogs and 1 cat. I am currently a student pilot, but my schedule is very flexible and I will always be able to make time for pet sitting. I usually am only flying for 2 hours out of the day when I do fly. I will keep a close eye on your pet and make sure they feel safe and loved with me, I will make sure they are fed and all other needs are met. If you have anything for me need to know about your pet, please let me know!

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 June 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 June 2026, there are 1,629 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.

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.
