Charli took care of my. 14 year old Yorkie with health problems. She had to give him 3 pills twice daily and treat him with care. She did a great job and returned him to me in great shape.

Madison was great! I love getting pictures of my puppies while I'm away and she had no problem with our anxiety ridden doodle. We'll definitely have her back!

Sharon is a very warm, down-to-earth person. My 16 yo rescue dog, Fawn was very well taken care of. I was happy & lucky to find someone willing to stay in my home with my dog. Fawn has lost some vision and hearing so she does better in a familiar place. I appreciated getting photos and updates on my pup. I could completely relax and enjoy my 2-week vacation with family and friends, knowing my old girl was safe and loved. Sharon has a lot of experience with dogs from the years she had a business taking care of people’s dogs in her own home when her clients were away. I highly recommend Sharon!

About: Hi! Available for (much of) Santa Cruz and Cochise Counties, including Ft Huachuca. I grew up on a farm, worked at a vet clinic, and have always had animals and pets when my life permitted. I have a passion for our furry "family members" as well as learning all different types of animal behavior. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, donkeys, fish, and even took care of a camel a time or two. My professional and athletic life has taken me around the world, and frankly, caring for pets of family, friends and neighbors throughout the years has still always been a most gratifying highlight! I have the patience and energy to match dogs of all temperaments, so let me know how I can support you and your family! If my profile is visible, it means I have plenty of time to help out with your furry family members, be it pet-sitting, walking, or just checking in on them. I have a highly-flexible schedule and a vehicle large enough to crate/transport if needed. As far as housesitting, depending on the proximity, would be flexible on either daily check-in and/or possibly overnights. Please reach out in advance to discuss. I live on a large ranch but do prefer to keep them leashed when walking (until I know they heel well AND to keep YOU more confident). I'm flexible on this based on consults with you. They would sleep indoors, and if you prefer, I could easily crate as well. Non-smoking home. You can bet I'll treat them as my own!

About: Hi I’m Nick, I love all dogs and cats, I’ll take care of them as if they were my own and show them unconditional love. Doesn’t matter if they’re big or small I’ll watch them all! I’m 30 years old and have grown up with multiple dogs and cats my whole life. I have a lot of experience in caring for dogs and cats alike. I know dogs need frequent potty breaks and to be played with. None of that will be an issue for me! I have 3 dogs and 2 cats and live with my fiancée. I have 2 stunning Pitbulls a beautiful Rottweiler and 2 beautiful tabby cats. All of whom get along and love each other. There is no doubt in my mind that my animals will love yours and play with them just as much as they do each other :) I work from home so I’m available 24/7 to watch your pets here and let them out as frequently as needed. There is also a large back yard to play in. Big or small I’ll watch them all! I have a large and spacious back yard with tall fencing so there is plenty of space for your dogs to play In . Since I work from home, ensuring my pets and your pets get frequent attention and care and have the ability to go outside whenever they want. I keep close eyes on all pets when sitting, I ensure everyone is getting along and playing nice. I will play with them snuggle with them and give them lots of treats and praise.

About: I’ve cared for many cats over the past 7 years and currently have 15 of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding routines, litter box cleaning, and different cat personalities. I’ve also helped with dogs for friends and family — feeding them, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe. I love walking, so I enjoy getting dogs out for fresh air and movement. While I’m still growing my experience with dogs, I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect like they’re my own. Pet care is my main focus right now, so I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, or dog walking. I have a flexible schedule and reliable availability. I treat every pet and home with care and respect. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away.

Alex just did her first sitting job for us after walking our dogs several times. She took wonderful care of our older, spoiled babies who don't enjoy camping while we took our Mini Aussie puppy out with us. We've already booked her for 2.5 weeks in the summer while we go to a family reunion, and will be using her for other camping trips. So very happy we found someone we can trust and who makes our babies happy and comfortable.

About: I had an English Setter Callie, and loved her as if she were my daughter. After she passed, it was not the same and I really missed her and the unconditional love and happiness she brought into my life. The past two years I've been house sitting for several people all over the United States, which began with an uber driver asking me if I'd look after his Belgian Malinois Berta while he went on a cruise. The experience was great and I realized how much I miss being around animals. I have done dozens of house sits since then, met amazing pets from dogs, cats, lizards, and frogs. I've met some great people in that time as well who I'd help in a heartbeat again should the need arise. On March 2, 2026 I found a chihuahua, Sweetie abandoned walking towards the road while I was house sitting for a customer. I saved her, she wasn't microchipped, no collar, nobody claimed her despite my listings. She is family now and an unbelievable gift in my life. She is 4 years old, very friendly with people, dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. Shes a total sweetheart and I bring her with me on sits, and have been impressed with how different pets interact with her and how they motivate and teach each other little things. I work remotely in financial services as a life insurance, mortgage protection broker. Plenty of schedule flexibility, I schedule all my own clients and appointments. I'm very health conscious and enjoy getting outside hiking, walking trails, or going to the gym to stay fit. Treat pets and homes as if they're your own. Leave things as found or better than when you arrived. I like to keep owners updated consistently usually every 2 or 3 days, with photos and an occasional video of something funny if you catch pets in the act.

Carmen was an amazing dog sitter! She kept in communication with me on a daily basis, as I asked, she followed all the instructions I left her for my dog and the house such as taking the trash out and watering the plants. When she wasn’t sure of something, she would check in with me to ask which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Carmen as a sitter and I will definitely use her services again! My dog loved her and was well taken care of.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I treat each animal as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I tailor my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I am working part time currently, as well as door-dashing so pet care fits perfect in my schedule. I have penalty of time to spend and care for your pets. My home is and pretty big. Animals are allowed on furniture and beds. I have a yard as well so they can go outside. We have plenty of space for them

About: Professional dog trainer of over two decades seeks clients as she moves to Arizona from California. After 25 years of working with a variety of animals from farm animals to domesticated animals to wild animals, I brought my worth in the Dog training community animals, I hope that you understand that I am only keeping my prices high because that’s what I’m worth. I’m not worth $12 a walk. I’m worth more than that. My Dog clients miss me greatly and when they hear my name, they do happy dance dances to this day. I am currently open for daycare and boarding at my house. I also do housesitting and I’m there except for one hour in the morning and one hour at night when I go check on my dogs. I’m also available for drop ins and things but I’d like to get to know you and your dog before I do that on a more consistent basis. I’ve worked with Rover since 2012 and I’ve had nothing but positive reviews and experiences with Rover; I can provide nothing but positive references if asked and look forward to speaking to you. My prices may be higher than my competitors, but they aren’t my competitors. They are people that are unqualified to do this job that are being paid to do the job that they aren’t doing from my experience and in my opinion. I consider myself a “stay at home animal trainer” as I train most clients online, from my home. My schedule is flexible/adaptable to what *your dog & you* will need while at my house, during drop ins and walks, while I am pet sitting, or doing dog training. I have a small fenced patio with grass and turf in the front of my apartment and plenty of walking areas! I am near a dog park no one goes to & can go there if you sign a waiver. :) I NO longer accept dogs from multiple homes due to insurance policies. Payment is due half on meet and greet day and half on day your dog is dropped off.

FAQs for House Sitting - Elgin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Elgin on Rover is $34.24 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 93 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Elgin. 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 Elgin 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 Elgin 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 Elgin 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
