“Laura did a wonderful job taking care of our pets! We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands while we were away. She provided plenty of photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for they were. We really appreciated her communication and attention to our pets. We would definitely hire Laura again and highly recommend her!”
“Lindsay was fantastic with Indie, Francine, and Pearl. She was punctual, attentive to each dog’s individual needs, and went above and beyond—cleaning up messes and making sure everyone was comfortable. We appreciated the personalized care and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommended.”
“I can't say enough positive things about Angela. She was able to accommodate my last minute trip. She kept in contact throughout the day, provided adorable updates and pictures. Even though I was out of town, I felt my animals were in good hands, and I had peace of mind. I'm actually looking forward to going out of town again because I know my babies will be well taken care of. Thank you Angela!! I appreciate you!”

My priority is to ensure your pets are protected, comfortable, and completely at peace in a clean, stable environment you can trust.
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.

About: I am currently raising my second labrador retriever. Jackson is a highly energetic, friendly dog that loves his friends and loves to make new friends!

I currently work from home and will accommodate all of your furry friend's needs as best as I can! I am currently working from home and have a dog of my own that keeps me busy! I have a very flexible schedule, and I do my best to accommodate all requests. My own dog is very social and friendly. I will always make sure your dog is cared for as I would care for my own. I do not charge extra for feeding, refreshing the water, or administering oral medication. My own dog has the run of the house - he either runs around in the yard or snuggles on the couch at his leisure.

About: Hi! My name is Ashlyn Turner. I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up in a home with dogs, cats, and even some small animals like hamsters and reptiles! I now have two cats myself, which is why I love rover- then I can still get my puppy fix! While I am watching your animals I will treat and love them just like my own two (spoiled) cats I look forward to hearing from you and getting the chance to meet your fur babies! Why I love dog sitting I've had dogs ever since I was born! My house has never been dog free, and I never intend on in being that way! My experience administering medication Yes, I watched a dog who had a seizure disorder who I administered daily meds to. (I am also an RN, so i administer meds to people daily!) I’m currently taking a break from my job (registered nurse) so aside from when I’m away on a trip etc I am available full time! I do not have a fenced in yard, so this depends on the situation. I do have an empty guest room if the animal needed its own space!
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs and cats needing extra attention. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and ability to connect with animals quickly. I’m attentive to their unique needs, whether it’s sticking to routines, administering meds, or just giving them the love and calm energy they need to feel safe while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I have open availability and the flexibility to give pets my full attention. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or overnight stays, I’m able to adjust my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. Making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for is always my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and respect for their space. I follow all instructions closely, keep doors locked and secure, and maintain a calm, clean environment for the pet. I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and at ease while their owner is away. I also provide regular updates so clients feel confident their pet is in good hands.

Alex did a great job with my “kids” The doors to the house were locked … all 4 he would have used. The two water bowls were full and clean (no days of residue in the bottom ) Their dishes were clean and ready for the next meal . The cats litter boxes clean. For me it was having a stranger in my home that I was most concerned with… Alex came in, attended to the kids promptly, sent communication when needed and left the house. I am very pleased will use Alex in the future ☺️
Lindsay was fantastic with Indie, Francine, and Pearl. She was punctual, attentive to each dog’s individual needs, and went above and beyond—cleaning up messes and making sure everyone was comfortable. We appreciated the personalized care and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommended.
Ashley did drop in visits for our cat while we were away. She did a great job following all of my instructions, sending photos, and was excellent about communicating. She also took care of a few extra requests that weren't in the initial instructions perfectly. She handled everything very professionally, definitely appreciated!
I can't say enough positive things about Angela. She was able to accommodate my last minute trip. She kept in contact throughout the day, provided adorable updates and pictures. Even though I was out of town, I felt my animals were in good hands, and I had peace of mind. I'm actually looking forward to going out of town again because I know my babies will be well taken care of. Thank you Angela!! I appreciate you!
I've lost track of how many times we have booked Karma and she has done a great job every single time. It's gotten to the point where I'm not sure we would ever leave town if Karma couldn't take care of our three dogs! :-) We were away for a full week this time and knowing the pups were in Karma's care gave us complete peace of mind. There is a reason (actually a LOT of reasons) why she is at the top of Rover's ratings!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Elfers is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $24 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 6,203 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elfers. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elfers. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
