“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.”
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.
“Janayah took excellent care of Mylo while I was out for the day. She arrived on time, was very caring, and Mylo loved her right away. She gave him lots of attention, took him for his afternoon walk, and fed him right on schedule. I felt completely comfortable knowing Mylo was in great hands and will definitely book with her again. Thank you, Janayah!”
“Jessica and Michael are so wonderful! I felt at peace when we were away knowing she would take great care of our dog. She took thorough notes when we walked her through the routine and provided updates as we wanted them. You can tell she really loves animals and cares about them while you’re away. Definitely will be using them again!”
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.
“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!”
“Emmalia was absolutely amazing! She was on time to both the meet and greet and the sitting, which has been difficult for several others. Gave me several updates over the couple days. I was gone and was always cheerful. Will definitely be using her again!!”
“Ciara took very good care of both my dogs, especially with one of them needing medication and special care. She also sent updates and pictures throughout my trip. Thank you!”
“Maren was absolutely wonderful with our dog! We’re always a little apprehensive about leaving him with someone new, but Maren immediately put our minds at ease. She went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for, and it was clear he was in great hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
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 dogs, special diets, 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.
“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!”

“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!”
“Tori was fantastic. We really loved that she came over to meet our pets and introduce herself as it can be a bit nerve wracking to have someone else watch your babies in your home. She was incredibly responsive and provided pics and updates throughout the stay. The house was left in excellent condition and our pets were happy. We will be using her again.”
“Our dogs (and us) loved Katilyn! This was our first time using a house sitter and we will never go back to using a boarding facility after this experience. Our dogs loved Katilyn and we loved that she sent daily updates and was super communicative. She even took our high energy girls out for some runs! Usually when we go on trips, my husband is asking several times per day if there are any updates on our dogs from the facility we formerly used. He asked me about updates maybe twice the entire 5 day trip so I know he felt very comfortable with the care they were receiving at home. Katilyn will be my go-to in the future. She also left the house super clean which we did not expect her to do but very much appreciated coming back to a clean home!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Elbert
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Elbert on Rover is $41.63 per night (as of September 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 September 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
