“Linda was an amazing sitter, she was very attentive with my puppies and so sweet. She brought them toys, played with them, and let them out very often while caring for our 2 pups. She also was very quick to respond to me while I was away and she sent me lots of pictures and updates as well. We will definitely be using her again.”
“This is the third time I’ve used Isabella and her sister Great experience- they were on time very dog loving and respectful of our home and Teddy Bear !! We intend to use Isabella over and over again It’s great to have a trusted sitter ! Thanks, Dave”

Cannot say enough how Kristie went the extra mile for us and made our day so much more amazing for being so kind, accommodating and lovely. Thanks so much Kristie!!”

I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I love dogs. If I get into a good routine with your dog all the better.

About: I take pride in being detail-oriented, reliable, and passionate about animals. Because I have a genuine love and concern for all animals, I get to know their personalities and help ease their anxiety about being in an unfamiliar environment by giving them love and reassurance. I've cared for lots of different pets of all ages and personalities. I especially enjoy caring for older or sensitive pets and understand how important it is to care for each pet as if they are your own. I have lots of experience following instructions to a T and providing updates, either with pictures or descriptions, to help give pet parents peace of mind. Most importantly, I treat all the pets in my care as if they were my own, with lots of personalization, care, concern and compassion. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I make time to give pets the attention, exercise, companionship, and consistency they need while keeping pet parents updated throughout each visit. Safety is always my top priority. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully, maintain their normal routines, secure doors and gates, monitor behavior, and ensure pets have a clean, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would give my own pets.
“Holi-Nicol was great! We had to make a last minute booking due to an out of town funeral. She responded quickly and set up a meet and greet for the next day. She was great with our three dogs, and kept us updated with pictures. The dogs loved her, and we will definitely be using her again!”
About: My family is grateful to still care for our 17 year old senior dog, Ace. We have had Ace since he was 8 months old. I have the energy to handle a puppy and the patience to handle a senior dog. I also have my own cat, Sophia. I truly understand the temperaments of both animals. I’ve been trusted to care for my own pets as well as my friends. I am available throughout the week as I am dedicated to Rover full time. I have my own vehicle so that makes traveling seamless. I am available from 10am-10pm most days. I understand that each pet will have their own specific way to be cared for. A pet is absolutely individualistic and there is no one way to care for everyone’s pet. Therefore, I will follow the directions as explained in order to keep the fur baby’s routine.

Now that I’m currently in retirement, I care for my son‘s new rescue puppy and various friends’ dogs as needed. Looking for some more dog time in my current new chapter of life.

About: I have lived in a pet loving home nearly my entire life, from cats and dogs to fish and snakes. This passion has led me to volunteer at Pet Pal Animal Shelter, a no-kill shelter, and work at Dogism Dog Daycare & Training as my first job! These combined have blessed me with a wealth of experience taking care of dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I work full-time, until 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Weekends are almost always available for me. Keeping my schedule separated between my full time work and pet caring ensures that your pet will have my full attention! Being entrusted to care for a pet at a client's home is never something I take lightly. I have experience giving medication, managing high-energy dogs, and cleaning up after pet messes, all with respect for the spaces they and their owners occupy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elfers
Angelina took such wonderful care of my fur baby! My baby immediately felt comfortable with her, which made me feel so much more at ease. This was my first time leaving her alone, so I was naturally a little nervous, but Angelina was great. She was very responsive whenever I reached out, which gave me extra peace of mind. She did a good job caring for my fur baby, and I’m so grateful for the positive experience. I will be using her again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter!
As always, Ashley is so amazing. She even stayed longer on each visit due to us being anxious after an incident that happened completely outside of her drop-in visits on our last trip. She always takes great care of our boys, and we will rebook her every time.
Mariah was amazing, and my dog was great with her, too. When I left and returned, the house was spotless, as if no one had been there. She washed the sheets and towels she used and put them back on the bed. I can't say enough about her. The communication was great. I will use her every time I go away!
Amelia was the amazing!! I had never done house sitting before and she made sure all of my fur babies needs were met. He was not feel well during her stay and kept me updated consistently while sending me plenty of photos! Even cleaned up around my house for me. She is the BEST!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Elfers is $46 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Elfers 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 Elfers 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 Elfers 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.

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.
