“Debbie was AWESOME! She kept us updated each day on how our babies were doing and sent us pics of them. She played with them and gave them tons of special attention. I highly recommend Debbie to look after your pets. Thanks Debbie!”
“Bo was an exceptional sitter!! I would give her more stars if I could. I have an extremely high maintenance senior cat who requires medication, a special diet (like preparing a buffet twice a day) and a list of other instructions. Bo took care of all of her needs. She gave me several updates per day and also sent a bunch of photos - great communication. Bo cared for my little diva like she was her own!”
“Did such a fantastic job with my two dogs. Sarah kept me informed about my dogs while I was away, with texts and images. She would walk the animals and spend extra time with them and give them love. I would highly recommend.”
“Samantha was an amazing dog/house sitter! She even stayed when the hurricane hit pensacola and made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs with her. Great communicator and will definitely book in the future!”
“I’m giving her four stars because I truly appreciated her stepping in at the last minute when my original sitter canceled. She also went above and beyond helping with my pool, including draining excess water. A few things concerned me when I returned. My blinds had been chewed, and the food in my puppy Bosco’s bowl appeared to be adult dog food. The adult dogs’ food bin was also empty despite having additional food available, so I was unsure whether everyone received the correct food. I had left detailed written feeding instructions. The house felt very hot when I arrived around midnight, with the thermostat set to 75 degrees. Bosco’s crate was also completely covered, whereas I normally leave the front open so he can see out. I’m grateful for her help and availability. A little more attention to the written instructions and reaching out with any questions would have made the experience better.”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for many years and currently care for two Labrador mixes of my own, including a senior dog and a younger, active dog. Through daily walks, feeding routines, medication management when needed, and providing plenty of love and attention, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different needs and energy levels. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their pets, and I understand how important it is to have someone reliable looking after your furry family members. I will treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, but I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends. Weekends are especially flexible for me, allowing plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and quality care. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability so you know exactly what to expect. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I am committed to providing dependable, attentive care while keeping you updated with messages and photos. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay in your home, I will treat your pet with the same care and respect that I give my own. Please note that I live in an apartment and am unable to provide boarding or pet sitting in my home. However, I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your pet’s familiar environment, where many pets feel most relaxed and comfortable.
“Caroline was very sweet with our babies! She was communicative and was able to balance her job and caring for our animals well! We were worried getting back on time because of flight delays but she made us feel at ease that she would ensure our babies were taken care of! She’s the first person I’ve hired to care for our pets that stripped the bed, washed the sheets and towels and remade the bed, so a huge plus getting back from a work trip! Would def hire again!!”
About: I’ve taken care of 5 of my dogs for as long as they were with us on earth, my friends and family have relied on me to watch, feed, walk, run with their pets and we are all happy… pets happy, busy owners chilling, and I get to enjoy them for a while too. I’m currently working a few days a week and my schedule is somehow very flexible so I can be available to help you with your pet needs. I would care for your pet/fury baby as my own in your home and most important always respecting any routine that you might have for them.
“Marissa did a great job house/cat sitting while we were away for a few days. She was punctual, communicated with us how things were going, and most importantly, took great care of our cat!!”
“You can trust Bella. She was super communicative and so organized. She even kept a journal of how many treats our 3 babies got. Our house was in better shape than we left it. Our flight got significantly delayed and Bella stepped in and stayed an extra night and took so much stress off a stressful situation. So grateful we found her. We will definitely have her take care of our house and animals again.”
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and love animals and looking to make sure every dog get the best experience in their life! I love all dogs! I am new to the area. Just graduated college in May from Tiffin University (OH). Moved to Pensacola after and am looking for part time jobs! I will make sure to follow instructions on what is given to me, for feedings, potty’s, and play time! I will leave thorough notes on how everything went!
About: I’ve raised multiple dogs and can’t get enough of them! I have two well-behaved dogs of my own that are 8 and 1 years old and very friendly with other dogs! I truly love treating all pets as my own! I have also grown up with cats which I love but don’t personally own at the moment! All pets are welcome and will be constantly loved on! I am currently a stay-at-home mom with extra time on my hands! My day-to-day is typically staying home and playing with my current 2 dogs as well as my 3 year old daughter. I have a fenced in yard and two well-behaved Labrador’s. One of them is 8 and one is 1 so I can accommodate for whatever age your pet is! My youngest is still crate trained so I am also familiar with crate training dogs if that’s needed.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is I go above and beyond, always. Anything you need I am here for it. From medications, to multiple visitations, and lots of pictures and videos everyday! I don’t have children so my animals mean all of the world to me, as does every animal I meet. Especially yours. I know it’s hard to leave them, but I assure you I’ll make it easy. You can depend on me! This is all I do, so I am very open to your dates and needs for that time. Pet sitting is my priority always! I do send pictures and videos, also location check ins from me to ensure I am there and your ability to relax and enjoy your time away is at a 10! I am here for exactly what you and your pet need, my dogs have their own routine as well as bedrooms. I understand specific needs, and can fit myself into whatever routine you prefer.
About: I am an active 57 year old woman who has owned both cats and dogs over the years among other types of animals. Just ask! I don’t have any animals at the moment because of where I live but do have lots of neighbors with animals. I also have relatives with animals that have meant a lot to me. The animals in my area are friendly and there is space inside to lay or play and outside for them to walk. I will watch in your place as little or as long as u prefer. But prefer yours as animals are always more behaved at home and it makes them feel happy to be in their own space. My son is grown and gone and we have loved and had many animals that have either passed. I believe animals can bring a smile to anyone’s face. I love them as my own and all animals tend to like me. I give regular updates and pics and very communicative to make you feel better about leaving your baby with a stranger. I work part time doing uber and Lyft at the time and have some time on my hands, can take off when needed. I would love to share some of my time with an amazing dog or cat. Or even a few of them. Have a great day! I thank you for your time and hope to be meeting you soon! Feel free to ask me anything. I currently work a few days a week delivering for door dash. I have plenty of time to take pets outside when needed for a walk or give plenty of attention when needed. I prefer will watch in your home. I live in apt complex that has plenty of room to roam. 3/2 and it’s only me that lives here now. I have had roommates that had dogs previously but none right now and don’t plan to change that. They can lounge on couches or run around the apt as there is nothing breakable.
“I can’t recommend Debra enough! She stayed overnight with our dogs for several nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, her communication was wonderful. She made scheduling easy, kept us updated throughout our trip, and sent plenty of photos and messages so we always knew our dogs were happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond by taking them on lots of walks, spending so much time playing with them, and giving them all the love and attention they needed. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were not only being cared for but were genuinely having a great time while we were away. We’re so grateful for everything Debra did and will absolutely be booking with her again. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, reliable, communicative, and truly cares about your pets, I highly recommend Debra!”
“Shelby was great with our fur babies, she is an excellent pet/house sitter. We were gone for 5 days and she texted & sent pictures am/pm. We had great peace of mind knowing that Mia and O'lover were in good hands. In fact, when we arrived home my kids looked a little disappointed it was us and not Shelby...lol. Thanks Shelby for loving up our kiddos.”
“Jordan recently house sat for us and took care of our greyhound. She did a great job! Our poor dog had just broken her toe and was in a splint, so she required extra care and medication. We could not have asked for better care. She is highly recommended and we are looking forward to using her services again.”
“Joshua is the best!!! He was available to watch my two pups on short notice. Took excellent care of them, and they were happy and comforted while I was away. I highly recommend him!!!!”
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Elberta is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $83 per night.

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 Elberta 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 Elberta 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 Elberta 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
