“Celeste was fabulous. She was very patient with my anxious puppy and was able to win him over eventually. We had a stress free trip knowing Buster was in good hands”
“Where to start? Brittany just watched our Labradors overnight (multiple nights) in our home, and we could not have asked for a better caretaker! She is there for the dogs, period. She was so patient with them, followed their schedule and patterns, had fun with them and kept in touch while allowing us to enjoy our vacation as well. She was wonderful, and we’re really blessed to have met her!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with them, and I’ve loved them ever since. Caring for dogs has always come naturally to me, and being surrounded by them brings me genuine joy. Whether it’s a playful walk, some quality cuddle time, or just keeping your pup company while you’re away, I’ll treat your dog like family. As long as your dog is friendly and house trained, we’re going to get along just fine. In fact, we might become best friends! 🐾 Right now, I’m in between jobs, which means I have plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for your furry friend. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended visits throughout the week. Just give me a day’s notice, and I’ll make sure your fur baby gets the time, attention, and love they deserve! I currently don’t have any animals of my own just yet, which makes me even more excited to welcome yours into my home! I live a calm, laid back lifestyle, which creates a peaceful environment for pets to relax and feel safe. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just quiet companionship, I’ll give your fur baby all the love, attention, and care they need while you’re away.
“Aliyah was a fantastic dog sitter for our two dogs! She’s an excellent communicator and was very attentive to their differing personalities and needs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”
“As always kammie goes above and beyond. Sending lots of pictures, taking ronan out for walks, cleaning up his food and water area, and even sweeping the main area. Thank you so much!”
“Valery is one of the best sitters I have used on this platform. She took care of our two dogs when we were gone and did a great job taking care of one of our dogs who needs extra attention and keeping us updated.”
“Brianne was amazing with our chaotic, nutty furry bunch! We left her with our trio of cats and the dynamic duo of dogs, for a total of five. The first thing we noticed was how all of our furry ones were drawn to her. Animals just know if a person is good. Being away is hard, but it feels better when you have someone you can trust to love you while you're gone. My wife and I had complete peace of mind with her caring for our babies. Brianne is the BEST!”
About: I have a lot of people I watch their dog/dogs and some family members I watch on the regular I hope to connect with may dogs and families let’s meet and greet. I’m currently working part time but I have plenty of time to play with the pups! And hope to get to meet many pups or cats! I have a fenced in yard and also a lead for the smaller dogs if they need it. Plenty of water provided inside and outside of the house and snacks.
About: Hi! My name is Sarah, and if you spoke to anyone who's ever known me, the first thing they would probably tell you is that I love animals. I currently have four kitties who I absolutely adore — all of them are rescued. I love all dogs as well and I have a big soft spot for pits and chihuahuas. I also have had fish, ducks, chickens, geese, cows, and guinea pigs! I truly love them all. I can do dog walking and dog/cat/farm/other type of pet drop-ins. I have no breed or size preferences! I am comfortable around all dogs and can handle all sizes well including various demeanors and behavioral challenges or special needs. I would honestly love the chance to get to know your animals and be someone who you trust to care for them when you are away. Please don't hesitate to message me if you are interested! :) I currently work during the daytime but I am able to fill in while you’re gone by letting them outside To go to the bathroom and feeding / caring for them before and after work. I am very aware of my demeanor with new animals to make sure they feel safe and comfortable with me. I want them to trust me and be happy whenever I come by to take care of them.
“Maria did an outstanding job taking care of our Rita for the weekend. She spent time playing and giving her lots of love, attention, and treats. We really appreciated the videos and picture updates while we were away. She even took extra care during the thunderstorms to make sure Rita was safe. Our house was kept cleaned and overall would definitely recommend Maria for any dogsitting needs!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, starting with rabbits, then cats, Miniature Pinschers, Frenchies, and now my Cane Corso. I’m deeply connected to animals and treat them like family. I understand their emotional needs, study their behavior, and find so much joy in being around them. I also help friends and family with their pets, so I’m experienced with all personalities and temperaments. Whether it’s a puppy or a senior dog, I’ve got the patience and love to match. I work part-time, so I have plenty of availability to care for your pet! I’m open on weekends and weekdays. I can also be flexible—just send me a message, and we’ll make it work! I live in a clean, pet-friendly home with lots of space and a dog park just steps away. I have two friendly dogs and a cat who are used to being around other animals. If your pet prefers to be alone or isn’t comfortable with other animals, I can easily keep mine crated to ensure a calm and safe environment. Otherwise, they’re happy to play and make new friends. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first!
“JayShaun is incredible! I was surprised and grateful to pick up a relaxed, clean dog: I could just tell Jayshaun went above and beyond. His individual attention and efforts to keep Aegon (my dog) positively occupied, plus going the extra mile on maintaining his professionalism when I had to make an accommodation to my arrival due to flight delays really showed his five star service. Jayshaun’s relaxed demeanor is ideal for a high energy pup! I will absolutely be a repeat customer! Thanks for aiding in my sanity while I was away!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 770 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eldora. 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 Eldora 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 Eldora 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Eldora 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.
