“Kendra is amazing!! From our first meet and greet, she let my 90lb dog give her kisses all over her face and they were comfortable together right off the bat. She gave proactive updates and was great at communicating while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with Kendra again!!”

“Patty is amazing! She took care of our boys over thanksgiving weekend, sent photos daily and responded quickly when I would message. This is our second time booking with her and we will continue booking for as long as she’ll have us.”

“Daniel was a great sitter for my house and dogs while I was away. When I got home, one of my dogs didn’t want him to leave so I think they had a wonderful time. Would recommend his services to anyone in need.”

“We are so happy to have found David to care for our animals on our week long trip! It was our first time using Rover and we have 6 indoor animals so it’s a lot. David stayed at our house with them and took great care of the animals and our home. We felt totally confident in our animals being cared for while we were away for so long. Thankful to have a great reliable animal sitter in our lives now!”


About: For work experience, I did work at a doggy daycare back in my home state of Kentucky for 1 year and 3 months. I was in various positions like dog handler, kennel tech and daycamp handler. In summary, I learned a lot and have experience in reading dog behavior and body language to see if they have any stress, anxiety etc.. I also have experience in feeding meals to the pups based on what their parents’ instructions were, and also keeping their belongings clean whenever they had accidents. For Daycamp, this was where dogs who weren’t a good fit to be in group, either from being too aggressive or even too energetic, would be in the Daycamp handlers care for that day. I would take however many pups I had that day and take them for walks to the dog park we had nearby and play with them and keep them engaged with toys. I also would send their parents picture and video report cards just to let them know how their pup has been doing for that day and giving them a description on how they have been behaving! I have also had dogs all throughout my whole childhood so I have been around dogs basically my whole life. I also have a puppy of my own, a German Shepherd. I’ve always had a love for animals! I am available anytime and anywhere since I do not have another job at the moment. I will more than likely be able to work with any day or time! I will definitely give your pets love and attention all throughout the day and make sure they feel loved! I will also follow specific instructions that will be given to me to be sure your pet gets the care they deserve.
“I had an amazing experience with Kailyn K. during her house sitting service from May 5 to May 7, 2026. She was fantastic with my dog, providing loving care and attention. Kailyn kept me updated with regular messages and cute photos, which really eased my mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being, ensuring he was well-fed, exercised, and happy. I highly recommend Kailyn for anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter. I will definitely reach out to her again in the future!”


About: As a professional dog bather, I spend my days ensuring dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments feel clean, comfortable, and safe. My daily work gives me hands-on experience handling different coat types, reading canine body language, and keeping pets calm during routine care. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to two rescue-level personality powerhouses—a high-energy Black Lab and a strong, affectionate Cane Corso/American Bully mix. Living with and caring for both friendly, active pups and powerful, large breeds means I am entirely comfortable managing dogs of any strength, energy level, or size. Whether your dog needs an engaging, controlled walk or attentive in-home sitting, I bring professional handling skills, deep patience, and genuine love to every pet I care for. As a professional dog bather, my daily work centers on reading animal body language, handling pets of all sizes, and creating a calm, safe environment for every animal in my care. My life at home is just as pet-focused: I manage a vibrant household with two large, energetic dogs—a Black Lab and a Cane Corso/American Bully mix—and five cats. Living with five felines and two powerful dog breeds gives me hands-on, daily experience with everything from high-energy walks and large-breed handling to subtle cat behavior, multi-pet routines, and meticulous home safety. Whether your pets need an active, controlled walk or attentive, low-stress in-home sitting, I bring professional handling skills, deep patience, and true everyday multi-pet experience to every visit. Care in My Home (Apartment Living) Structured Outdoor Time & Frequent Breaks: Living in an apartment means outdoor time is always active and intentional. I take dogs out frequently throughout the day for structured, leash-guided walks and bathroom breaks to keep them exercised, happy, and comfortable. Crate-Trained & Calming Environment: As a multi-pet owner (including a Black Lab and a Cane Corso/Bully mix), my home is built on clear routines and safety. My own dogs are well-trained and crate-trained. Crate training allows for safe, stress-free boundaries, individualized downtime, and secure separation whenever needed (e.g., during feeding times or quiet rest). Indoor Enrichment & Constant Supervision: Because apartment space is defined, pets in my care receive close, direct supervision, interactive indoor play, and dedicated individual attention rather than being left unattended in a yard. Maintaining Familiar Routines: I strictly mirror your established feeding, walking, and medication schedules so your pets feel completely secure in their familiar environment. Low-Stress Handling & Body Language Expertise: Drawing on my professional bathing background, I monitor pets for subtle signs of stress or discomfort, ensuring low-stress interactions—whether that means gentle companionship for sensitive cats or structured leash control for energetic dogs. Multi-Pet Home Management: I am thoroughly experienced in managing multi-pet households safely, keeping dogs and cats on their respective feeding and play routines while ensuring entryways and doors remain strictly secure. Cleanliness & Respect for Your Space: I leave your home exactly as I found it—handling litter box maintenance, wiping muddy paws after walks, cleaning feeding areas, and keeping your pets safe and comfortable while you're away.
“We are thrilled with the amazing job Frankie did while taking care of our dog, Mochi. From the moment we met Frankie, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals. Throughout the entire time, she was incredibly caring and attentive to Mochi’s needs. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent us, which gave us peace of mind knowing that Mochi was in good hands. Mochi absolutely loved her, and we could tell he was happy and comfortable. We highly recommend Frankie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate puppy sitter. Thank you, Frankie, for your outstanding service!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from The Bay to LA. All sizes and ages. From Goldens to Pitties to Dachshunds, my goal is to always make your pup feel welcomed and safe. I have two pups of my own. They are both house trained, crate trained, and incredibly playful and friendly :) Miggie and Frida are sure to keep your pup occupied and happy during their stay. We have a yard where they’ll be free to run around and lay. We also routinely take our dogs out on walks, and will be sure to include yours as well. I am currently relocating back to the Central Valley and will be home 7 days a week. I am dedicate to caring for your pups as if they were my own. We offer a secured, gated yard area where animals are free to play and lay. They will be supervised and supported during their stay. We also have a spare room dedicated to crate training and wind down time if requested.

About: I have taken care of pets, cats and dogs, from a young age. I grew up a cat and dog owner and have always loved my pets. I have experience training young dogs for sit, stay, fetch, lay down, roll over, wait, and go. I also regularly pet sit for family members. I am currently not working due to summer break, so I have full open availability. When school starts in August, I will be available evening after 5 and all day weekends. I am hoping to find pet sitting for weekends and dog walks for week days. I currently have a 3 bedroom apartment that is pet friendly. I can take care of small dogs/ cats at my own home and able to take them for walks around my neighborhood. I am willing and comfortable to pet sit in the client’s home and to go to the client’s home to take pups for walks.
About: I have always had a dog or multiple while growing up. I was always the kid that would ask to pet peoples dogs (still do) I have dog sat before for my neighbor and anytime the dogs saw me they always ran right to me. Dogs specifically always come up to me or are attracted to me. I have never had a bad experience with a dog and even if I did I would probably still try to make it my friend! Most days I am completely free except Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:10-11:25 then I have a night class from 6:10-8:00 I have always been an animal person and love every animal I meet. Before we moved to our new house my dog slept in my bed with me and had a bed of his own that he would occasionally lay in. My dog was always with me on the couch or really anywhere I went. Anytime I am at a friends house or anyone’s house who has I dog I always treat their pet like it’s my own.
“Natalia is a very sweet young person. Her love for the animals shines through. My dogs took to her immediately! Loving on her and wanting her attention. She sent us pictures and videos of the pups while we were away. And always gave us updates. Natalia who’ll be my first call when we need a sitter again as she was amazing!! Trust worthy, kind, all around great person. Thanks again”

“Nicole is super sweet and made me feel at ease immediately. She took great care of our big goofball Great Dane while we were away for a couple of days. She was quick to respond and has great communication.”

“Abby was great! We had her watch our dogs in our home for the weekend (2 nights). She communicated well, and took great care of our 3 dogs. Will definitely rebook in the future!”

About: I don’t just watch pets, I build trust with them. By learning their routines and personalities, I create a calm, familiar experience that keeps them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I plan my weekly schedule around the pets in my care to ensure I can meet their specific needs—whether that’s regular walks, medication timing, feeding routines, or extra attention. I keep a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and owners can rely on dependable care. At this time, I offer pet care exclusively in my client’s home. While I’m not able to host pets in my own space, I’ve found that staying in their home keeps them more relaxed and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routine, meals, walks, playtime, and any special care so they feel safe and well cared for while you’re gone.
“Madison is the most wonderful pet sitter EVER!!! The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job. We were gone for two weeks and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my dog and cat. The loving care was outstanding & gave us peace of mind we were on vacation. Thank you!”

About: I’ve worked with dogs as young as 8 weeks to as old as 15 years. I’ve also worked with dogs as small as a chihuahua to as big as a poodle. Im a college student and have some flexibility in my schedule but working weekends is the best time to pet sit, however if you message me about a specific time during the week id love to see if we can work something out. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets, whether I’m in their home for a drop-in visit or staying overnight. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, so pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings. Safety is my top priority. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I make sure pets are never left in unsafe situations. I also respect my clients’ homes as if they were my own, keeping things tidy and secure while they’re away. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing both their pets and their home are in trustworthy hands.
About: I’ve been surrounded by tails and paws my whole life, but nothing taught me more about true pet care than raising my own dogs. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach. I treat every pet as if they were my own by giving them the kind of care that makes them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, providing comfort, or playtime, I make sure each moment counts. I’m available for overnight boarding at any time on weekends and weekdays. Doggy day care is available for all hours & days. Drop-In Visits & Walks are available WEEKDAYS : (6:30AM-12PM) or (6PM-8PM) & weekends at anytime .This makes it easy for me to accommodate overnight stays, walks, drop in visits, and day care. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or weekday work trip, you can count on me to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, safety is my top priority. I provide a secure fenced area, pet friendly space that’s free from hazards, with plenty of room for play and relaxation. I make sure food, toys, and rest areas are suited to each pet’s size, age, and needs, and I always supervise to keep everyone safe and happy. I always keep a close eye on pet behavior and health so I can act quickly if something seems off.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 192 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Elderwood. 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 Elderwood 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 Elderwood 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 Elderwood 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 Elderwood. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 91% 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.
