About: I’m a dog trainer and have worked professionally with dogs for two years. I have had all kinds of animals through out my life and love all animals! My availability is consistent each week. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday im available from 8pm-8am the next morning I’m Available all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays. I have a friendly dog and an unbothered cat. I work with animals professionally so pet care is extremely important to me and I take it very seriously.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, big and small. I’m not afraid of getting bit, or cleaning up any mysterious liquids. I’ve been taking care of animals that are not mine for 2 years, and know how to get out some energy! I’m currently hired part-time at a dance studio, while also working freelance throughout town. I have a valid driving license and car, and will reply to any questions in no time! I have a dog at home to keep other dogs company, as well as food, bowls, toys, and J don’t mind any dogs on the furniture.
About: Growing up surrounded by animals has shaped who I am as a caregiver. I had a cat and a bunny as a kid, and we always had at least two dogs at a time. Over the past year, my family has had six dogs, and I currently care for my own cat and golden retriever while also helping with my parents’ five other dogs. This constant hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities truly sets me apart from other sitters. I understand animal behavior, routines, and comfort needs on a deeper level because it’s been my everyday life—not just an occasional responsibility. My care is calm, consistent, and patient, and I always treat pets with the same love and attention I give my own. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do; it’s something I genuinely value, and it would be a dream to care for someone else’s pets as if they were part of my family. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because my schedule is already flexible and structured around mornings. I work part-time at Starbucks on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, mostly in the early hours, with only one additional Friday afternoon shift. I’m also a student, but I currently take just two classes, and my semester is almost over. Starting next semester, all my classes will be fully online, giving me even more availability throughout the day. This flexibility allows me to devote consistent time and attention to pets, making sure their walks, feeding times, and check-ins are never rushed. With so much open time in my schedule, I’m able to provide reliable, calm, and attentive care whenever it’s needed. I care for pets with the same calm, attentive routine whether they’re in my home or in a client’s home. In my own space, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by providing a clean environment, consistent feeding schedules, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection. I’m used to managing multiple animals at once, so keeping up with routines, energy levels, and comfort needs comes naturally to me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and committed to maintaining the routines their pets are already used to—whether that means specific feeding instructions, preferred walk routes, or favorite playtime habits. I focus on creating a smooth, stress-free experience for both pets and owners by keeping things consistent, reliable, and tailored to each animal’s needs.

“Mirte was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly caring with our home and pets. She went above and beyond in every way, sending regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our pets clearly adored her, and it was obvious she treated them like her own. We came home to a spotless house, happy animals, and everything handled perfectly. Mirte is reliable, kind, professional, and truly one of the best sitters we’ve ever worked with. We would book her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets and home. Five stars all around!”

About: I've taken care of pets all of my life. From puppies all the way up to seniors. I love them all. They all need someone to care for them and feel the extra love especially when their normal family is away. I'm currently flexible and can fit pet care into my daily routine. Occasionally, I will pick up an additional job. But that shouldn't interrupt with taking care of what I love to do and that is to take care of fur babies. I would rather take care of your pets in their environment due to the fact that they are most comfortable there. I also have two fur babies of my own. But I feel as if fur babies are normally happy in their own surroundings.

FAQs for House Sitting - Elizabethtown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Elizabethtown on Rover is $46.06 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Elizabethtown 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 Elizabethtown 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 Elizabethtown 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.
