About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, which includes dogs, cats, and bigger animas. I’ve handled everything from daily walks and playtime to feeding and check-ins, always making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I work full-time during the day, but I’m able to spend my mornings, evenings, and nights giving your pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I’m available 7 days a week and can commit to longer stays, making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m open to taking dogs on care rides and to dog parks for extra fun and exercise, if that’s something you’d like. Also once I have my own home—hopefully this summer—I’ll be happy to offer a comfortable space where pets can stay with me if they’re comfortable in a new environment. I do have a very friendly, playful dog as well who loves meeting new friends, so your pup can enjoy some social time if they’re comfortable with that.
“Ashlee was so fantastic. She watched our puppy for us while we were out and while I knew she’d have her hands full, with this being his first time doing something like this, he was even more rebellious :). We definitely appreciated the care and attention Ashlee provided. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Jessica and Michael are so wonderful! I felt at peace when we were away knowing she would take great care of our dog. She took thorough notes when we walked her through the routine and provided updates as we wanted them. You can tell she really loves animals and cares about them while you’re away. Definitely will be using them again!”
About: I am currently going to school to becoming a veterinary technician, I have cared for dogs for more than 3 years. If anything happens, even if thats a good thing like catching a ball, I will be sending you pictures of your pup and staying uo with the communication!! I also believe it is important when I am there for the pups/animals to get adequate play time, so if that means they need to run for 30 minutes then I will stay and run with them! I am currently attending school to become a veterinary technician, so sometimes during the week days its hard for me to swing by during the day for a few hours but If I can I will swing in for 30 minutes and play with the pups!! I also have a part time job at my church which is every sunday morning until 12:30pm and every Wednesday night until 8pm In your home if you require me to crate them when I leave I will. I am very good with listening to how their owners treat the pups/animals when someone is not home. I prioritize keeping their routine as normal as I can. So if that means during the day they watch a TV show, then I will leave the TV on for them and let them watch their show. If that means 5 walks throughout the day, then I will do that as well. Its all about making the pet feel comfortable, nothing else.
“Wow! This crew was amazing. Steven stayed at our house with the pets and Merilyn was on point for daily communication and photos. I met all three at our meet and greet where we introduced all the pets and showed them around the house. They were very thorough, taking notes and making sure they understood how to best keep the pets in thier routine. When we returned everyone was relaxed and happy. They had lots of outdoor time and naps in the big bed. The house was spotless. I would recommend them to anyone and expect we will use them again in the future!”
“Maranda was absolutely incredible with Boone. She kept me updated with adorable photos, made him special puppy ice cream, and took wonderful care of him while I was away. She’s incredibly kind, attentive, and a wonderful communicator. The house was spotless when I got home and Boone was relaxed and happy. She’s trustworthy, loving, and exactly the kind of sitter every dog parent dreams of! Boone and I are so lucky to have found her.”
“Rebecca is awesome!! We have three large dogs and they were well taken care of with lots of play time while we were away for a few days. Rebecca is communicative and sends lots of pictures with details 💕 Excellent level of care. Thank you, Rebecca!”
“Jackson was so attentive and took great pride in caring for Rocky. Also, our flight from London was cancelled and the day after this booking expired, he stayed the extra night and gave me such peace of mind I wasn’t scrambling t find a different person, family/friends to help. Can’t thank you enough for your great care. Also was very responsible while staying in our home.”
“Kristen did a great job taking care of our dog and house while we were on vacation. She communicated well and sent us pictures of our dog playing and doing well so we wouldn’t worry. She was responsible and I recommend her!”
About: Compassionate and reliable pet care experience providing daily feeding, exercise, medication administration, grooming, and companionship, ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I will love your fur baby just like my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Each day includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of affection and love on your fur baby I don’t care for pets in my home. It would be my pleasure to care, feed, play and love on your fur babies in your home.
“Kiera was amazing! We had a mixup with our booking and she happily made it right for us, which we greatly appreciated! She took such great care of our pups and continually sent us videos and pictures! She’s the absolute best!”
“Maddie was awesome!! We previously had a bad experience with rover so I was skeptical to use rover again but Maddie followed all of our instructions carefully and made sure to not leave our dogs more than 6 hours (which we had discussed). She sent photos every day and was very responsive. We already have her booked to have her watch our dogs again when we leave for a longer period of time because we trust she will take good care of them. Thank you, Maddie!!”
“Ciara watched our small 2 yr old golden doodles for a few days and nights. She is sweet, caring, bubbly, patient, and you can see that she loves dogs. They absolutely loved her which made us feel secure that our two pups were in good hands while we were out of the state for a family funeral. We left her plenty of puppy instructions and seemed she followed them. She sent photos of our fur babies during our time away. She definitely took great care of them. We would definitely use her again for puppy sitting.”
“Hannah stayed with our dogs while we went on a trip and took amazing care of our dogs & home. She sent loads of pictures which I super appreciated. Also very impressed she can walk all three of my dogs together.”
About: I have taken care of all my family’s pets since I was 11 - dogs and cats alike, including senior dogs and cats, and puppies. My family currently has two cats and two dogs and I love every second I get with them and would love to show your pets that same love. I recently moved to Colorado from California to start a PA program which does not start until August. I am looking to gain some extra money and taking care of pets is something I love to do. I am living in an apartment with my husband and our 2 year old domestic, medium hair tuxedo cat. He is a mostly indoor cat, but I do take him on walks occasionally. For my family’s dogs, they tend to stay inside but we have a doggy door that gives them easy access to the backyard, where they can relax, play, or use the bathroom.
About: I grew up in the country (Elizabeth) on some acreage, surrounded by animals of all kinds, so caring for them is second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve had hands-on experience with horses, chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigs, dogs, and cats—each with their own personalities and needs. As a current dog, cat, and chicken owner, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your animals. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. Working from home or in transit to meet clients, my schedule is flexible. I live in Elizabeth and when I’m not in my home office, I’m in Parker, Castle Rock, Kiowa and surrounding areas. As I work for myself and set my own schedule, I’m available for daily or multiple times a day to support you in caring for your fur babies when you are unable to be with them. My own fur babies are a bit spoiled. When I’m at home they are generally nearby. We spend time outdoors on the property regularly. (though Chloe prefers to be inside in her favorite chair) Otis loves walks and eagerly hops in the car when we go for walks in town. (and he looks forward to the pup cup that follows) Otis is about 140lbs (cane corso) and Chloe was rescued from a ranch where she had been severely injured and semi feral. She was very skittish and she has blossomed into an attention seeking snuggler with a continuous purs.
“Ana was fantastic! We needed a dog sitter at the last minute, and she was able to come by for a quick meet-and-greet on short notice. While we were away, she sent plenty of updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Lauryn provided for Bulka and Stalin while I was away. She truly went above and beyond — sending regular updates, photos, and even doing thoughtful little things I didn’t expect. She followed every single detail I left, and it was clear the dogs loved her from the start. It was such a great experience and gave me total peace of mind. I’ll definitely be using her again. Highly recommended!”
“Blyth was wonderful with our pets and treated them with great care. She paid close attention to their needs and even played stimulating games with them. She left the house spotless and was very respectful of our belongings. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Elizabeth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Elizabeth on Rover is $49.95 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 3,040 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Elizabeth. 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 Elizabeth 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 Elizabeth 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 Elizabeth 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.

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.
