Bo did a great job with my two dogs and a turtle when I had to go out of town for a few days. She treats them like they are her own pets. She is very kind. She left my house as clean or cleaner than when I left. She is great at communicating and giving updates. I will definitely be using her again!

About: Hi friends! Thanks for taking the time to read my bio. I'm here because I would LOVE to get some steps in with your fur baby! Or just chill and give them back scratches if thats their preference. I love all dogs, no matter their age or breed. Volunteering at shelters has been a hobby of mine since childhood. Ive been a dog walker for Wag! for years but am switching to Rover because the Wag app is terribly glitchy. My most recent adventure has been fostering shelter pups - we currently had a foster fail situation which is how I got my current fur child, Indie. I've always adopted shelter dogs; to include labs, pitbulls, mixed breeds, and now a goldendoodle! I joined Rover in hopes of doing it more because I enjoy helping busy people take care of their precious pups. I'm a FOND believer of spoiling your pets. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my knowledge or experience. :) I'm currently in between jobs and have LOTS of time to love on your precious fur baby. Let's schedule some time together and make some memories! I'm in a 2 bedroom apartment with a friendly goldendoodle to keep your pup company. Our days consist of many walks, and going to the dog park. We have one in the complex but I also enjoy going to the city parks. I am happy to let your baby sleep in the bed with me or I can crate them. Whatever your preference is, let's talk about it.

We have two dogs and Joanne took great care of them. Banksy goes to boot camp in two weeks and isn’t the easiest. She stayed with them and made them feel comfortable while communicating with us consistently.

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember and over the years I have pet sat and house sat for many people. I am an early to rise and a late to bed. Mornings and evenings are the easiest for me to work into my regular schedule, but with enough notice I will try to adjust my regular schedule. Keeping pets in their own homes and with their usual routine is very important to me. It helps to keep them comfortable while their human is away. If there is no fenced in backyard going for long walks is my favorite. If you do not have a leash I have plenty I can bring since I have 3 dogs in my own home .

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.

About: Hi! My name is Becca and I personally have had animals my entire life but besides personal experience I have been working as a kennel assistant at a veterinary clinic for a year now. I’ve had experience with everything from itty bitty babies to senior citizens. I’m currently in my undergrad at college to eventually attend vet school and I would absolutely love to meet your fur babies and hopefully gain more animal experience in the process!! If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out. If I have a time blocked off you need, contact me, I’d be more than happy to work with you on anything. I’m also open to adding basic grooming services such as baths and nail trims if needed🐾 I’m currently working and attending college so my availability would usually include mornings and nights on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday & as of right now Saturday and Sunday. However I am available in the morning, afternoon, and nights on Monday and Wednesday until approximately October! I’ll always respect and care for your home and fur babies as if they were my own. I will follow any given instructions you leave for your pet and I’ll make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of while you’re away!!

About: I have multiple long standing clients I've pet sat for, for over 8+ years, and have taken care of all sorts of animals in this time. You name it I've sat it! I've owned senior dogs and special needs/disabled dogs and understand they need special care and patience. Im currently working part time, but my schedule can be quite flexible! Im willing to do what I have to do to make plans and schedules work together. Im willing to stay overnight in a clients home to keep our furry friends company. Animals are always more comfortable staying in their own home when their owners are away! I do my best to keep a stress-free and fun environment for all of my clients.

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: While every pet sitter is great and have great qualities, there is something that set each of us apart but also make us very alike. We all have a love for animals. What is unique about me, is that this is my personal opportunity to be around more animals than I myself can have. It is my pleasure to keep your beloved pets safe and happy. This is a part of me that I want to embrace in life. There’s no bad dogs in my book! I can be very attentive to your dog’s needs, whether they need more exercise or if they’re in need of a potty break. I have loved dogs all my life so you can be sure your dog is in great hands! I recently moved here from Gulfport and I am seeking to continue dog sitting as I did before. I look forward to meeting new faces. I can care for your pets in my home by giving them attention and love. They will be able to freely roam the house and the yard when leashed. I also offer free baths if you’d like for your pup to go home smelling fresh! 🚿 I work part time elsewhere until I can make this full time. Some weekends I’m busy with family, but when I have nothing going on I’m able to provide pet care. I have a two dogs of my own that will get to spend time with your pups. I have a great amount of outdoor space for them to run around and play. When they’re inside I keep them company and make sure I’m watching what they do. They also get plenty of cuddles from me and my husband. I also watch that both your pups and my own are playing nice and aren’t getting too rough with each other. As for care in your home, I make sure everything is left where it was last seen so nothing is missed. I make sure their area is left clean before leaving and nothing they shouldn’t have is around.

About: I absolutely love both cats and dogs. I am willing to care for animals in my home or your home, whichever you prefer. I am available for long term and short time care. I am currently working part time but would prefer pet sitting. With enough bookings I would be able to quit my part time job. My shifts right now are mostly 3 to 6 hours. I have a small fenced yard if you prefer your pets stay at my home. My back door has access to the fenced yard. Your pets would have free reign of my home including furniture and beds.

FAQs for House Sitting - Elberta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Elberta on Rover is $52.72 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 531 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Elberta. 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 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 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 Elberta. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
