About: Hi! I’m Ryan, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and other pets. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same attention, patience, and affection that I give my own. I currently share my home with a spoiled cat who runs the household, so I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable when you’re away. One of the biggest advantages I offer is flexibility. I work remotely, which allows me to provide daytime drop-in visits, quick check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and lots of attention throughout the day. I’m also available during evenings and weekends. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Safety, patience, and positive interactions are always my priorities. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions, and I provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.

About: I love dogs and grew up with them! Though I don't have the space for them now, I've been missing some puppy playtime! Both of my parents are vets as well, so I'm also pretty well versed in all things pet care! I do work full-time, but a lot of my job can be done from home depending on the amount of notice I have before discussing that with my boss. That being said my weekends are pretty open as well as the occasional monday. I typically work from home every other monday! I love all animals! Growing up I had 2 dogs and then foster failed 2 cats! Those 2 cats currently live with my parents, but I'm bringing them up here when I move into my own place. Both of my roommates also have cats!

Zachary was fantastic! He completed drop in stops for our cat while we were out of town. He sent great updates and pictures during his drop ins. Next time we need a sitter for our cat, we will book with Zachary again.

Michelle was able to come over and check on my three cats every day for a week while we were out of town. They were well taken care of and my babies were happier than they usually are when I come back after a trip!

I have watched a lot of cats and dogs at clients houses as well so i’m familiar with in home pet sitting and walking.

Lexy was amazing! She communicates very well and quickly, and it was easy to schedule a first meet and greet. We originally booked for a few months out, but had some unexpected travel come up earlier, and thankfully, she was still able to squeeze us in. She sent us photos and updates every drop-in and our pups seem to really like her. She even added water to my hydrogarden when it started making weird noises because I forgot to check it before we left. Overall, she went above and beyond, and we are so lucky to have found Lexy as a sitter. 100% would recommend working with Lexy if you need a drop in sitter :)

About: One always wanted to have a dog of my own so taking care of other pets wood help me experience what I’ll need to know annd do when it’s the right time to have my own dog. I work early in the morning, after work I have nothing better to do besides take care of my family and my vehicles. I love to go to the park, travel, and go out to eat. I’m usually in the house in a safe and pleasant neighborhood, if I do go outside I’m either working, walking throughout the trail at our park or grabbing something to eat!. I rest assure everybody in my neighborhood doesn’t see me often only my neighbors. I honestly like it that way, it does protect us from what can possibly happen outside but I’m always protected and protective about everything!

About: For 10+ years, I’ve pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors. Growing up with rescue pets, I have experience caring for anxious and distracted dogs. I also have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs with disabilities. I have a love for all animals, and can ensure great care, attention, and love will be given to your pet!! I’m currently working remote 4 days a week, with Monday as my typical day in office, although the day is subject to change per week. When working from home or on the weekends, I can let the dog out frequently, walk the dog everyday, play multiple times outside, pet and brush when inside, and give lots of attention to. I’m available to pet sit on my day in office as well, but the dog would not be let out between the hours of 7am-4:30 pm. When I pet sit, the dog is typically within my sight at all times. When at the house, the dog will be taken out hourly and played with frequently throughout the day. The water bowl will be refilled at least twice a day when food is given, or more if needed. Little objects or any choking hazards will be out reach for the dog, as well as food and other dangers. Walks will be given daily if the weather permits, as well as constant pets. Your dog will receive a lot of love with me!!

About: I have been taking care of my friends miniature american bulldog named Yoshi for around a month at a time for the past year whenever she allows me to take him because he is so sweet and I have the time to train and walk him. I also have a bike path right behind my house so Yoshi enjoys his walks and seeing people that can give him scratches and belly rubs. I have 2 Guinea pigs that stay caged and don’t enjoy any fun activities with me so I enjoy the excitement of a dog I work from home, I have a skin care business making natural soaps so I am always home and available to go on routines walks. I’m also a mason and teaching myself carpentry and the goal is to build luxury dog homes so if you’re happy to have your dog be a model for my dog homes then it will be greatly appreciated and I will make a fun activity out of it for us. I also keep a large box of milk bones for good doggies. I prefer to spend as much time possible doing whatever your furry bestie enjoys that makes them temporarily not miss you but I do have a small back yard with an in ground leash and easy access to look out my window and watch if there’s any dogs who enjoy sitting outside for long periods of time, otherwise there’s lots of attention given and plenty of fun walks. Yoshi also loves car rides if that’s something your pet also enjoys and we’re going to start being regulars at the dog park since everyone loves him there and he loves everyone right back. So if your dog has never experienced a dog park yoshi will gladly assist in making him or her comfortable

About: I am experienced with all breeds from chihuahuas to pit-bulls. We have a nice size yard and a lovable dog and cat. We have a straight hair labradoodle and s strictly indoor cat. We have raised dogs, cats and rabbits. Our son has been raised with dogs and cats and is very good with animals of all kinds. I have experience with giving medication, trimming nails and other minor grooming tasks. Dog walks around the community is an activity we enjoy doing. On those rainy days we like to sit in the living room and relax. Our dogs enjoy being brushed and just being loved on. Whether it is a stop in visit or boarding I can provide the love and care your dog will need to stay healthy and happy. I'm currently a gig worker(Doordash, etc). So my schedule is very flexible. My wife also works from home. So, if boarding, someone is always home. Our dog and cat are very friendly. We have a backyard and plenty of quiet streets to go for a walk. Our pets are allowed on the furniture so your pet can make themselves at home.

About: I had numerous dogs growing up and currently have one of my own, Finley, a Goldendoodle; I adore looking after pets and others. Dogs of all energy levels are welcome as I have a large yard, great for playtime, and plenty of space to accommodate others. Plenty of experience with medicines and special needs animals, too. Routine is key with time management to make sure there adequate time for play and adventure. Every morning starts with a walk, and I typically take my own pet to the park twice a day. My home has an enclosed backyard with ample space to run around. When house/petsitting, I’ll always ensure pets are on a leash before exiting to run errands or go for a walk.

About: I’ve had dogs and the occasional cat since I was born, including a sweet old lab/doberman mix, a lazy corgi mix, and an anxious westie. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters from a young age and have watched over many friends’ and neighbors’ pets. I’m free just about 24/7 as I’m on summer break from university. I’m more than happy to stay overnight, stop by throughout the day, and be up early in the morning. When taking care of your pets, all of my attention will be on them and their health, safety, and comfort. Beyond that, I will follow whatever instructions are given to me, as I understand every pet is different. I’m happy to play energetically or sit quietly while your pet gets used to a new friend.

About: I recently relocated from Johnstown to McKeesport and am looking forward to meeting all the new pups in the area! I have been dog sitting for the past few years now and absolutely love it! My family has always had dogs since I can remember. I got my first dog, Ruby, named after the children’s show Max and Ruby, when I was 4 years old. I have loved caring for dogs ever since. Ruby is even still kicking at 18 years old! I now have a second dog, a 2 year old Husky who loves to play. I’ve trained many dogs, older and puppies since I can remember. I also have a lot of experience with elderly dogs, Ruby being a prime example. We go on walks often and I have basic dog training experience. I work part-time fully from home. I make my own schedule for work so I am completely flexible. The only time I ever leave the house is to take my dogs somewhere, dog park, hiking trail, etc. I am available every day and do same day bookings so feel free to reach out whenever you need! My dogs are very friendly and love other dogs. We also have 2 cats that play with our dogs as well. I have a fully fenced in yard to give your fur baby plenty of room to run around freely and play.

My regular sitters were on vacation and I needed someone sorta last minute to do bedtime drop-in visits for my pups while I was away, and Melissa was great! Always on time and sent pictures and updates on the dogs. Super easygoing and friendly! I would definitely use her services again if needed!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Elizabeth on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,458 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Elizabeth. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Elizabeth stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Elizabeth with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elizabeth. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
