“Jaimie was great. My three dogs just love her. She bonded with them which made them happy. Jaimie was on time and did what needed to be done. I loved the daily three updates along with photos. It was pleasing not having to worry about the dogs. I highly recommend Jaimie and will be using her services again.”

About: Hi! I’m Malari, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly believes pets are family. 🐾 I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, and I know how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pets and your home. I’m attentive, responsible, patient, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments, including dogs who may be nervous, reactive, energetic, or need a little extra patience and understanding. I’m comfortable following individual routines, feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and whatever else helps your pet feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m also a proud dog mom myself, so I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else. My goal is to make their time without you as stress-free and happy as possible—with plenty of attention, affection, walks, playtime, and cuddles when they want them. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a cozy companion while you're away, or someone to keep an eye on your home while caring for your animals, I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are safe, loved, and having a good time while you’re away. ❤️ I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work Monday through Friday, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of care and attention to your pets. I don’t have children, so my time outside of work is very flexible, and my husband also helps care for our pets at home. During my workday, I have a full one-hour lunch break, which gives me the opportunity to come home or stop by to check on your pets when needed. I can provide a potty break, fresh water, food, a little playtime, and plenty of love and attention before heading back to work. Outside of my work hours, evenings and weekends are generally very flexible. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule to make sure they receive the care and companionship they’re used to. My goal is to make having someone care for your pets as easy and stress-free as possible—for both you and your furry family members! 🐾 I’m happy to come to your home to care for your pets and keep them comfortable in their own familiar environment. At this time, I’m not able to host dogs in my own home, but I’m more than happy to provide loving, reliable care in your home. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. 🐾

About: Hi there! I’m Danielle, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who understands that your dog isn’t just a pet—they’re family. Whether you’re heading out of town for a vacation, traveling for work, or just need someone to check in during a busy day, my goal is to give you complete peace of mind. I want your pup to feel safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled the exact same way they do when you’re right there with them. As a proud dog owner myself, I know how important routine, comfort, and plenty of affection are. From long walks and interactive play sessions to keeping up with feeding schedules and dishing out extra belly rubs, I tailor every visit to fit your dog's unique personality and needs. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! Let’s chat about how I can help make your time away stress-free for both of you. 🐾 I work from home so I have a great flexible schedule to come check-in on your fur babies or stay overnight if you need me to! I just request a meet and greet with the whole family before we book to make sure everything is good to go! I love cuddling with dogs and cats of all sizes if they happen to be clingy like my own fur baby! If they need to be crated at night, or fed medicine I can administer that as well, just send me detailed instructions!

“Michael and Elizabeth were great with my 3 pups. I needed someone last minute and they worked with me. They checked in and even cleaned up after our little guy and when asked to let my female out separately from my male they did with no issues or questions asked. I received pictures at each visit and updates. Prices were very affordable. I know 3 dogs can be a lot but they had no issues. I will use than again and recommend them 100%”

About: I am a dog mom of 2, my dogs names are: Beauty, and Skyla. I live on almost an acre, so your pup has plenty of room to play. I have two children who love to spoil and play with dogs so they will get plenty of attention, exercise and love. I am flexible with sitting, boarding and anything else you may need, my son is 16 and helps me with any dog that I care for. I live in a nice quiet neighborhood, so I can walk your dog on their leash as well. I treat my pups like they are my kids, they are spoiled, but they are great with other dogs. I will provide pictures/videos daily so you can see your family member and feel at easy while you are away. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. As I do work three jobs. My kids help take care of our own family pets as well as other people's. I ensure any pup I sit has their own water bowl and food bowl. Like I would my own pups. If you notice I don't say dog or animal. My two pups, I call my girls or my pups. They are my kids too and any dog I board, I treat like I would want someone to treat my girls.

About: Hey there! I’ve had animals and pets all throughout my childhood. I have always been passionate about animals. Our fur baby’s really are a huge part of our family. We are an active family so being outside a lot is important and we love to share that with animals. We go on walks and hikes a lot we even bring them on lake day adventures and my favorite… camping trips! I can clip nails, give baths, brush coats throughou and I have experience with giving injections and medications. I love to play with pups fetch with a ball or tug of war with their favorite rope toy! I am very observant, organized, adaptive and willing to to learn anything about your furry friends! I’m currently a stay at home mom. I am the sole caretaker for your furry family members! My son is 2 years old and will be accompanying me with drop ins and dog walking, he will be under my supervision at all time while providing animal care. I take full responsibility for my son while we care for your furry friends. He is comfortable around animals, we’ve had dogs and cats in our family since he was born! We live a very active lifestyle where we are always on the go. We go for walks and hikes a lot. We also enjoy swimming, and we always bring our fur baby along for the adventure. Pet care would fit perfectly with our schedule and lifestyle, with the love of being outdoors it’s so nice to share that time with our 4 legged friends! I do not have a fenced yard at my house, I always stay with my puppy weather on leads or ecollar. We have an electric fence but I ensure nothing can come into our yard(other animals, people etc). If we do not use the electric fence we use a long lead. At a clients home if they have a fenced yard I would still never leave an animal unattended, that’s just me personally. I would love to spend time with your pets outside, maybe we can play a little or if your fur babies just wanna soak up some sun and relax, I’m here for it all! If the client does not have a fenced yard I would use a long lead or regular leash and never leave the pup pup unattended. For safety both in my own home or clients I utilize a crate if necessary, and positive reinforcement for good behavior! I also have experience with muzzles and other tools(collars, leads, head leads, etc) Its not only about protecting me and others but to ensure the safety of the animal as well. I want to do what you need me to do to ensure the safety of your pets. I want peace of mind and communication for everyone! Don’t be afraid to advocate for your pet, let’s talk!

“Miranda is wonderful! She was very responsive to my messages, sent tons of adorable pictures of my cats, and went above and beyond my expectations by bringing cute toys for the kitties to play with and vacuuming the area around the litter box. I highly recommend booking her to care for your pets.”

About: Hello, my name is Heather and I have worked with a large variety of animals my entire life. I worked for our vet when I got into high school and regularly pet sat throughout the years. Over the years ive pet sat for friends and friends of friends. I have great references and I am happy to share them. I can take up to 2 dogs in my home. I travel and do pet sit at a few local places regularly. All I ask for is directions if needed for specific animals(meds behavior etc) and emergency phone # for vet please! All necessary instructions etc will be discussed prior of coarse. I currently am enrolled in school online so I am as flexible as needed. Whatever schedule your pets are used to I can work with. I will care for your pet as you wish and keep as close to their schedule as possible! Traveling is stressful enough and I will do what I can to help lessen the stress of your animals care while away.

About: I have 3 golden retrievers and rescued 2 cats. I've spent the last 6 years caring for my own animals and helping friends, family, and neighbors with theirs. I've learned how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pet. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, and giving the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, secure, and loved while in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to be flexible and at home majority of the time. I schedule my days to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, playtime, and companionship. We are household full of animals, always. When pets stay in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special care instructions. For dogs we have a fenced in backyard with space to run around. A crate must be provided for overnight stays for dogs. For cats, they can roam freely. I have clean litter boxes, and opportunities for play and enrichment.

Rachel is amazing. This is my 2nd time booking her service. She went above and beyond for my 3 kitties. Especially my oldest male that had PU surgery the week before I left. She was basically on call until we figured out the best way to keep his e-collar on since he was a little escape artist. She gave him his meds and and loved on him and still managed to spend time with my other 2 so they wouldn't feel left out. Odin was really extra! Lol. I really appreciated everything she did. Very reliable and responsive even in the early morning hours🫠 thank you again so much!

Alison was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond—not only was she professional and attentive, but she even saved my plant after my cat had knocked it over. That kind of care and thoughtfulness really stood out. I couldn’t be happier with her help and highly recommend her!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Elizabethtown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Elizabethtown is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 331 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elizabethtown. 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 .

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 , 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 Elizabethtown. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
