“Meretta did an amazing job with our 3 pups!!! Came back to a clean home and happy babies! She really gave us a peace of mind while gone and will definitely book her anytime we need someone to house sit!”
“Body is an exceptional dog sitter and human. He cared for my 3 dogs, one special needs and one a puppy, giving me updates and taking good care of them. I was visiting Utah and he drove a good ways to meet my dogs and care for them. Highly recommend Brody. When we are back, we will get on the schedule for dog watching. This was the first time my puppy was away from me and watched by someone else. He immediately liked Brody and was well behaved with him. Thank you Brody - the pups and me.”
“Isabelle took great care of our dog and our home. Everything was immaculate when we returned and our dog was happy and healthy. We will definitely ask Isabelle to stay in our home with our dog again!”
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.

I am happy to house sit and come to you for any of your pet projects watching needs!:) I am happy to come house sit or walk your dog wherever is most convenient for you!:) I can drive to your location to watch your pets.
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kimberly. We booked the week prior for an overnight so we could take a quick trip to CO for a concert. Kimberly was friendly & communicative the week leading up to the booking and checked in the evening before. She arrived at 6:30 am with such a warm energy and immediately won the pups over. Grimm seemed instantly attached to her! It was very sweet. I was a bit worried since it was our first time using Rover, & the first time leaving the boys with someone other than their grandparents. We felt comfortable with Kimberly right off the bat and we knew our boys were in good hands. I loved that she sent lots of photos & videos while we were away & let us know how well they were doing. She followed all care instructions perfectly. She even left us beautiful flowers she cut from her garden. I would 100% trust Kimberly to care for my furbabies again in the future. I feel blessed to have found and connected with such a good human. Thank you Kimberly! 💛🐾”
About: Cared for neighborhood pets from an early age and manage my own pets today. Patient, adaptable care tailored to your pet's routine, energy level, and personality. Honest, dependable service keeping your pets happy and your home secure while you're away. Because I work part-time, I have exceptional flexibility in my daily schedule for dog walking, cat drop ins, and house sitting. As an active, outdoorsy person, I love taking dogs on long, energetic walks, or multiple walks throughout the day, to make sure they get all the exercise and stimulation they need to come home happy and tired. For overnight stays or house sitting, my open schedule allows me to give your pets and home my consistent, full attention. I am fully transparent and communicative, ensuring both your furry family members and your home feel safe, secure, and cared for from start to finish.
About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10, growing up with a variety of animals and learning the basics of pet care. However, at 18, my approach became much more serious when I adopted an 8 week old Great Pyrenees named Kodiak who had significant health, behavioral, and medical issues. This experience taught me a great deal about managing complex health challenges, addressing behavioral problems, and providing specialized care, which deepened my commitment to responsible pet ownership and caregiving. Animals have always had a special place in my heart and with Kodiak's ailments, I realized how difficult it can be to find high-quality pet sitters especially for pets requiring more assistance, patience, and time. I would love to provide reliable and trustworthy care to every and all pets, and if you have a dog who is a little more picky and high-maintenanced with who they allow in your home, then I would love to be the one to start building that trust with you and your pup. Thank you again for considering and trusting me to be part of your pups and your lives! Please reach out if you have any additional questions or concerns. :) I am a part-time nanny so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and if I'm not home, my husband Ryan is! I usually take my own dogs 1-2x daily for long walks and I would love to bring your pups along! For boarding - I have a fenced yard with neighbors who also have dogs so barking is not an issue. We live close to several fenced off-leash dog parks and public parks to allow additional room for your pup to roam! I also have made walks a priority first thing in the mornings and evenings with our current 2 dogs. For walking/check-ups- I promise to follow direct instructions and orders you provide. I promise to reach out to you directly if I have any concerns or questions on specific care, restrictions, permissions, etc. rather than assuming. I will make informed, safe decisions on your pets care if I cannot get in touch with you.
“We are truly grateful for finding Maxton. We could not have had a better experience in obtaining a professional in home sitter. Our dog, Corporal, has an Assistant Dogs International (ADI) certification and travels with us everywhere. The longest amount of time that my spouse has been separated from Corporal (until this last week) is 2.5 days. Just days prior to our most recent trip, Corporal tore her CCL. Finding someone on short notice who was able to provide care and comfort to Corporal was a major stressor. Maxton was more than willing to come to our home prior to booking to meet Corporal and us and alleviated many of concerns. Upon leaving for our trip, any remaining concerns were soon alleviated. Maxton not only provided care to Corporal, but to my spouse and me as well. Beyond updates and photos, he showed true empathy for two people whose dog plays a critical role in their lives.”
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.”
“Nerma watched my 2 small dogs for 5 days. She is a sweetheart and my dogs were well taken care of. She sent me daily updates and I didn’t worry at all while I was on vacation. Would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, especially cats, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know their little personalities. This year, I’ve started caring for my friends’ dogs and taking them on walks, and I’ve also walked a family’s dog while babysitting. I like the simple things that make pets happy, whether that’s a good walk, playtime, or just sitting with them and keeping them company. I’m also someone who pays attention to the little things, like noticing when a pet seems nervous, tired, or just wants some space. I’d love the chance to give your pet some company while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 I work Monday through Thursday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM and Friday from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM. I’m available for pet care in the afternoons and have more flexibility on Fridays and weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. 🐾 I want every pet to feel comfortable and safe while they’re in my care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home and your pet with respect and keep you updated especially with photos or little vlogs so you know how your furry friend is doing

The average cost of House Sitting in Elberta is $28 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $42 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.
