“Alyssa stayed with my needy little poodle mix and also my son’s active golden retriever for a long weekend. Both dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we came on and the house was clean and tidy. I would totally have her come again!”

About: I have experience being a caretaker to both humans and animals, starting as a child growing up with fish and an adorable Basset Hound mix. I've been trusted to care for many friends' and other's pets over the years, and have experience with dog training as well as anxious, ill, and elderly pets. I can provide additional reviews through Trusted Housesitters. I'm currently working on personal writing projects, so my schedule is very flexible with plenty of time to devote attention to your furry family members. I take care to be especially mindful of the pets particular routine and boundaries and do my best to keep things as normal and stable for them as possible.

“Bevin left my house clean and tended, all linens washed and replaced, the garden watered and, most importantly, one kitty happy and well cared for. Alister obviously had lots of love and attention showered on him and I feel quite confident that if anything had gone wrong he would have received any care he needed. He's actually showing me when in the day he got love and snuggles, when he had playtime, and he's trying to tell me he had treats any time he asked - but I don't believe that. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bevin as a pet sitter, and will hire her again.”

About: I've always had a deep love for animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I provide personalized care that helps them feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including puppies, senior dogs, and pets that require medication or special attention. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and highly communicative, providing regular updates, photos, and peace of mind throughout every stay. My goal is simple: treat every pet like they're my own and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, attention, and care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. Because I prioritize quality care, I make sure each pet receives dedicated one-on-one attention, exercise, and plenty of interaction rather than simply being watched. Your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and household rules to maintain consistency and reduce stress. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, safe, and clean environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention during walks, monitor behavior changes, and ensure pets are never placed in situations that could compromise their safety. I also believe communication is essential, so you'll receive regular updates and photos to stay connected while you're away.
About: My love for animals started when I was a little girl. Animals have always been my go to for happiness comfort and love. Meeting new animals always brings me joy. I understand the trust and responsibility that comes with taking care of someone's fur babies. I'm an open book I'm currently going to school online so I have a completely flexible schedule and can't wait for this new venture in my life I prefer not to care for animals in my own home. I have an older relative that's very particular about his house and doesn't allow pets
About: I'm a huge fan of active dogs, and I love going on walks and playing outside with them. I also have experience with senior pets and in giving medications. I'm a self-employed clinical massage therapist, and am able to adjust my schedule to fulfill whatever needs you or your pets may have, including doing various walks or appointments as needed. I can drive up to any location and keep your pet in a safe a familiar space while I'm taking care of them, as well as make sure your home is maintained well.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since my brother got a puppy himself and one of my best friends got a husky pup! I would dog sit for them all the time so I quickly learned what a dog needs and how to care for them! Im currently a chiropractic student at Parker University so I have plenty of time to care for your dog most weekdays and weekends since my class schedule can be flexible! I am not able to provide care in my own home because my landlord does not allow pets. However, im more than willing to come to your house and follow the instructions you would like for me to follow!
“Natasha was wonderful! We met her first and knew right away she would take care of our pup with great care. While we were away, Natasha sent us daily notes and pictures of how Whisky was doing. Playing with her dog, Jasper, was an added bonus for Whisky! We will definitely be having Natasha come stay with Whisky again! Thank you Natasha! Our trip was worry free 😊”

About: - I am home all day (just my dog and I). - I have a fully fenced yard, often featuring an agility course and splash pad. - I have an entire room full of dog toys and treats. - I'm more than happy to send you photos of your dogs while you're away (at your request), as I know how hard it can be to be away from your dog. - The home is large and spacious and is well set-up for any breed of dog. - I have a 4.5 year old female Aussie who I have trained and cared for since she was 8 weeks old. - I have lived with dogs my whole life. - I am experienced with dog training (from puppy to adult; tricks, behavior, and agility). - By default, dogs are allowed in all places of my home. - I have most dog suppliers: toys, treats, puppy pads, first aid kit, dog beds, etc. Your dog will receive my undivided attention, care, and play when they board with me (both indoors and outdoors). I will make sure your dogs receive sufficient activity (If they are healthy enough for it). If your dogs like to play fetch, they're especially in luck here. I have a fenced yard and a large dog-safe home for dogs of any age. I will only crate your dog if you request it.

“Dawn was absolutely amazing! She was such a God send! We had never left our dog and cat with anyone but family and friends and she took such good care of our pets. We got photos and videos every day of all the walks she went on with our dog and the fun times she had playing with our cat. It calmed my nerves to know what good care they were in. She additionally went above and beyond to ensure that our cat’s litter box was thoroughly cleaned, brought probiotic treats for our cat that had just started on that diet and took our extremely active golden out on 3-4 walks every day (even late at night when temperatures finally cooled off). I would highly recommend Dawn and already have plans to have her stay at our house again and take care of our pets soon! You will love Dawn! She will love your pets as if they are her own.”

“We had a good experience with Madisyn! The house was left spotless and communication throughout the stay was great — she sent updates, pictures and was easy to reach. Our one note is that she was out quite late one evening, which we weren't expecting. I'd recommend discussing schedules and expectations upfront, as she is a popular sitter with other jobs. I would still consider booking again, as we discussed that issue and she was very responsive. Thanks, Madisyn!”


“There are not enough words available in the world to express how much we adore Drew. She took such amazing care of our Lucy, who is a typical husky (part cat). Lucy loved Drew from the moment they met, greeting her with kisses and happy barks. I will book Drew anytime I can and then some. Drew kept us updated with pictures and videos of our happy girl throughout her stay. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!”

About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routines, and comfort needs. I have experience with dogs of many temperaments, including anxious, sensitive, high-energy, senior, and medically complex pets. I’m calm, observant, and very attentive to behavioral changes, body language, and routines. I know how important consistency and emotional safety are for animals, especially when their owners are away. I’m also experienced with administering medications, reinforcing routines, long walks, enrichment/play, and providing patient companionship for pets who need a slower or more thoughtful approach. Cleanliness, communication, and reliability are very important to me, and I’ll treat your pets and home with care and respect. I work part-time remotely as a psychologist, which gives me flexibility and allows me to provide attentive care and companionship throughout the week. Fridays through Mondays are generally my most open days for walks, drop-ins, and daytime care. Tuesdays through Thursdays tend to be my busier workdays, so during those days I’m best suited for overnight care, house sitting where I can work remotely from your home, or boarding/day care in my home for pets who are comfortable relaxing while I work nearby. I still prioritize regular walks, enrichment, affection, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine throughout the day. I’m thoughtful about only taking bookings I can genuinely show up well for, and I value consistency, communication, and helping pets feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owners are away. Safety, trust, and attentiveness are extremely important to me when caring for animals. I take time to learn each pet’s routines, temperament, triggers, exercise needs, and comfort level so I can provide care that feels consistent and supportive for them. In my home, pets are always supervised carefully and kept on leash outside. I prioritize safe walks, enrichment, play, companionship, and calm structure rather than simply letting dogs loose in a yard. I’m attentive to body language, behavioral changes, and environmental safety, especially for anxious, senior, or sensitive pets. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful, clean, communicative, and mindful of maintaining the routines and environment pets are already comfortable with.
About: Like many people, I grew up with animals. I had multiple cats and dogs growing up. Being in the Navy and single has made it difficult to own a pet of my own, so this is the next best thing. I am currently retiring from the Navy (submarines). As such, I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. I am typically free days, nights, weekdays, and weekends! My home: I have a house full of antiques and a per would have to be exceptionally well behaved for me to be open to hosting. I also have a female cat. Your home: I anticipate sitting on your couch, and giving your pet attention when they want or need, using my phone in the meantime.

FAQs for House Sitting - Eldon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 4,043 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eldon. 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 Eldon 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 Eldon 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 Eldon 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 Eldon. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
