“We love Meretta watching our dogs for us. Shes watched them about 5 times and we've been beyond impressed and happy with her services each time. My dogs love her so much. Its nice to know my dogs will be loved and taken care of when we are gone. I would recommend her to anyone!!!”
About: I've owned and cared for various pets over the past 20 years. I've gained experience caring for animals outside of my own pets by working at shelters and vet clinics. I performed tasks ranging from kennel cleaning to assisting the vet in surgeries. I can do grooming such as bathing, brushing, and nail trimming. I have a passion for hiking and would love to take your pup along for the adventure, of course, doing so safely! My schedule is flexible and adaptable, allowing me to accommodate your needs as well as those of your pups. I am willing to adjust my hours and routines to best suit your specific requirements, whether it's early mornings, evenings, or weekends. This ensures that I can provide tailored care and support for you and your pets, no matter what your daily schedule entails. I will treat your beloved furbaby as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I will meticulously follow all specific requests and instructions you provide regarding their care, routines, and any special needs. Rest assured, your pup is in trustworthy hands with me.
“Avery was awesome and took such good care of my dogs, provided photos and updates, and went above and beyond when it came to taking care of my apartment while I was gone as well. My dogs absolutely loved her!!”
“My dog Lilo absolutely loves Kendra. It is so comforting to know that your pet is well taken care of while you are away on vacation. Pet sitting or housesitting, I would book her again and again.”
“Sarah was great. She communicated frequently while we were away, she took my puppy to his daycare on the set days, my judgey cat became her biggest fan, and overall the animals seemed really happy. She also left my place in great condition and was even willing to haul some mistimed deliveries into my garage. Thanks Sarah!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and my family currently has three, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I want every pet I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet like my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I’ll do my best to give you peace of mind while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule right now before starting my nursing job in January, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I can be flexible with walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’ll make sure to communicate with you and keep your pet’s routine consistent. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away! When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I know pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I give them plenty of attention, patience, and affection while respecting their space. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pets are in good hands!

Since I work from home, I have the freedom to give dogs consistent care throughout the day. My schedule allows for regular walks, attention, and supervision!

I live in an apartment that makes it simple to take dogs out as needed, whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk.
About: Hi, I’m Jay, and my wife Cindy is a full-time mom to our teenage daughter and our dog. Cindy grew up on a farm, which sparked her lifelong love for animals and plants. Over the years, we’ve cared for two Havanese dogs and a yellow Labrador Retriever. We currently have a very sweet female Havanese who gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Our daughter also loves playing with dogs and takes great care of them. We have a spacious, fenced yard where your small dog can play safely. We only accept hypoallergenic or non-shedding breeds. We generally welcome dogs weighing between 3 and 20 pounds and allow them to lounge on our couches. However, for safety reasons, we cannot accommodate aggressive dogs, so you may need to find another sitter in that case. Cindy is a full-time stay-at-home mom, so dogs in our care receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Our whole family genuinely loves having dogs around, and we treat every pup as part of our family while they’re with us. We’re happy to provide dog beds, bowls, toys, and a crate if needed. We’re typically available 24/7 and always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Hello! I’m Jay’s wife, Cindy. I start my mornings at 6 AM by heading out to the backyard with the dogs, and I love making sure they’re well cared for throughout the day. Mealtime is one of my favorite moments with them, so if you have any specific requests regarding your dog’s food, please feel free to let me know anytime! When dogs visit for the first time, they often want to go outside to the backyard every 30 minutes to an hour. This is usually because they are curious and exploring their new environment, seeking comfort in open spaces, marking their territory, or simply adjusting their bathroom habits while settling in. I enjoy spending time outside with the dogs, watching them explore and playing fetch—especially when the weather is nice. Even when they’re just roaming around the backyard, I always keep an eye on them to ensure they’re safe. When it’s time for a nap, I let the dogs rest peacefully while I send updates to their owners. I love being home all day, sharing my time with the dogs and my family. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or needs some extra attention, I always tailor their care to ensure they’re comfortable and happy. Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. Over the past five years, I’ve raised and nurtured dozens of Havanese and Labrador Retriever puppies before helping them find their forever homes. I also have a passion for photography! With my background in film, video production, and visual effects design, I love capturing special moments of the dogs through photos. I’m always happy to adjust to your dog’s preferences and needs, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any special requests or questions!
“Maxton just keeps getting better as a sitter! We cannot recommend him enough. Please see my last review for a more comprehensive explanation of the quality of care that he has provided to our dog Corporal. My only hesitation for giving yet another 5 star review is he may be booked in the future 😄😄”
About: Hello! My name is Claire and I have had dogs all my life. I am a waitress and bartender who would love to spend my free time with your fur babies! I have my own chihuahua mix and live in a household with 2 other dogs as well. I also have experience with farm animals including horses, goats, chickens, cows, and semi-feral cats. Love outdoor treks including hiking and camping, and even have some experience with special needs animals. I live in Sandy but am willing and able to travel to make sure the needs of your pet are met. Expert cuddler and treat giver, love to help with training, and am not squeamish about messes. I’d love to meet your fur babies 💜 I work in the hospitality industry, which gives me flexibility during weekday mornings and afternoons, as well as additional availability throughout the week. Wednesdays are especially flexible for me, and I'm happy to coordinate drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays around my work schedule. As a lifelong animal lover with a house full of pets, caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life! I'm accustomed to feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, playtime, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. For overnight stays, I'm always upfront about my work commitments so we can make sure your pet's routine and care requirements are a great fit. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! When caring for pets in their own homes, I do my best to maintain their familiar routines, including feeding schedules, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I have lifelong experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, including large breeds, multi-pet households, and senior animals. One of my own senior dogs has severe arthritis and cannot walk independently, so I'm familiar with providing gentle mobility assistance, helping with meals, and accommodating pets who need extra patience and care. I always follow each owner's instructions carefully, respect their home, and pay close attention to their pet's behavior and comfort. I'm also happy to provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is being well cared for!
“They did a great job watching our home and many animals. We got plenty of pics and updates to let us know everyone was doing well. House looked better than we left it. Definitely plan on using them again.”
About: I’ve been in the animal industry for about 13 yrs now. Currently grooming for kibbles and cuts in highland, Utah. Owned my own pet grooming company the last 6 yrs in North Dakota prior to relocating here. My goal is to reopen one here someday. I have 1 5 yr old Great Dane named, clutch. I’ve had 3 up until earlier last year so now I’m just down to the one. I wanted to be a veterinarian as a kid and ended up settling with pet grooming instead. I just knew I’d end up in the animal industry with how much I love them. Your fur babies will be in great hands! I have extensive knowledge and love for animals. Like I’ve mentioned, I’m working for kibbles and cuts at the moment and just looking to fill some of my free time ! Every other weekends I’m off along with some Mondays. I can also do evening drop ins if it fits my schedule . I will only do drop ins and do some in home sitting on weekends where I am available. I have every other weekend off and every other Monday.

FAQs for House Sitting - Elberta
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 757 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 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.
