About: I have a love for all animals growing up on a farm and would love to help out in my neighborhood with any needs, I'm comfortable with any pet of any size. I work as Registered Nurse during the week and my day off I'd love to help out with your pets, I know work weeks can be hectic. Let me help make your day easier. I'll follow any direct instructions you give and make sure your pet has a great fun filled day enjoying a walk or check in visit.
About: Hours of availability on the weekends, Friday 5pm-Sun 9pm. Possibly before 5 on fridays depending on location. I Love dogs, and have had 3 jack Russell terriers and 2 German short haired pointers and now 2 Labrador retrievers. I want to make it easy for pet owners to do things and not have to worry about their pet. I have also been in charge of the grooming(nails,bathing etc) since I was young. I feel I can tell how/what dogs want, they call me the dog whisperer. Just want all dogs/animals to love me :) We now adopted 3 kittens in the last 6 years since they always find us. Let me care for your dog/cat while you enjoy yourself. I have had other animals, not just dogs, as I care for animals in general(fish,guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, birds, cats). I have always been the dependable Neighbor and was always asked to watch the neighbors animals while they were away. I know how hard it is to find a caring person to watch your pet, instead of a kennel. I also have had to give my first dog insulin shots 2xs a day, also have given her medicine daily. Also give medicine/supplements to my current pets. Let me be that person.
About: I have years of experience with all kinds of pets, both my own and of my friends and family. This includes dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, pigs, cows, etc. I want to give the best possible care to your companions! I am currently in college which only keeps me away for about 3-4 hours at most a few days of the week. I work a part time job that allows me more flexibility in scheduling as well. I have a long lead for dogs in the yard that is tethered as well as a handheld 30+ foot leash for myself. I have a large and small crate that is accessible.
About: I've been pet sitting since i was 13, I am currently 19 with a dog and cat of my own! I've taken care of seniors as-well as puppies. I've potty trained, taught tricks, and have done special care when needed. I love to go on long hikes and bring my dog with me! I go on walks about 3 times a day, as my dog is very active. Feel free to ask me questions! I would love to watch your pup. :) I'm available for pet sitting any day of the week at any times! I can handle seniors aswell as active dogs. I would love to spend time with your pup. I have one super friendly dog that loves to play and gets along great with cats. I go on 3 walks a day with my pup. She is very active and friendly. Your pup will be able to relax and also get the outside time they need. I have a big fenced in backyard perfect for running around and playing.
“Emma was AMAZING! Our cats loved her. She was quick to respond, punctual, always updating us and made sure our kitties were loved and taken care of. 10/10 would recommend and will be booking her again in the future.”
About: I lost my 18 year old pug in January 2022😢. Looking forward to spending time with a furry friend again! Big or small dogs welcome! I work close to home and my husband works from home on most days. We are professionals with flexible schedules. We can work around your needs. We currently have no pets but a nice big house in the country and a yard with a creek and various options for going on walks! No busy streets around here!
About: hiiiii! I’m Alex!! I am an energetic, compassionate, extremely outgoing dog Dad of two even more energetic pups. I enjoy every moment I spend with my boys and all other animals. I come for their little cuddly little bodies and stick around for their individual personalities. Lastly, I have yet to meet a dog that can out walk me… do you have a high energy pup that would be a good match?? I currently work during the day… I am looking to spend my evenings getting my energy out by walking your dogs. This will provide you ample time to enjoy your summer evenings. 🙂 I treat every animal with respect and personal care, because that’s how I enjoy my pups to be cared for when I’m not around. I assure to keep an eye things, wow, providing the space for dogs to be dogs. My goal and spending time with your pups to ensure they come back happy, healthy, and tired.
About: Had pets my whole life. I walk all the time and know where to take them and have an SUV with enough room to fit them in. Have 2 children who adore all animals. I have a full time job, Tuesday through Saturday, but I’m usually home around 2-4 pm. I’m available every evening and can stop to let them out during the day because of my job flexibility. I love both ends of the spectrum. I love being active and taking dogs for walk/runs. I also love relaxing and cuddling with them and getting to know what their preferences. Will follow all strict diet rules and keep a very clean house to avoid unwanted eating restrictions.
“Kayla noticed that one of my cats was struggling to finish their food during her visits, which resulted in my other cat trying to eat it. Her response to this dilemma was truly above and beyond: Kayla would hide the leftover food and make a second trip over later in the day (even though only one daily visit was requested) to make sure my cat ate the remaining food and didn't go hungry!”
“Tasha was great! Accepted and responded to my request in a very timely manner. She was great with my dog Jax and fulfilled everything I could ask for in a dog sitter. I would definitely recommend and would use again in the future!”
“Dane & Kayla were great! They were available last minute and came quickly for a meet and greet. Our cats warmed right up to them. They even did a few extras like bringing in our weekly water delivery and cleaning up a kitty accident. We appreciated the regular communication and cute photos. Very grateful for the care!”
About: I am very passionate about everything I do, so I can assure you that your pet will be taken care of with tons of attention and love. I’m currently working part time at nights, so I will have lots of time during the day and after school to care for and play with pets. I have had a lot of experience with different breeds of dogs, so I am qualified to meet your pets needs no matter what shape or size!
About: I am experienced in caring for senior and special needs pets, as well as administering oral, transdermal, or injection based medications. I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all temperments, personalities, sizes, and energy levels, as well as small animals including rodents, birds, and reptiles. I do not work a traditional job, so I am fortunate to be able to make loving and caring for your pets my priority without the rush! I take the safety and security of your pets and home very seriously, I treat your home with the utmost care and respect during visits. I tend to be pretty on top of communication, and I love sending owners picture and video updates of their pets. I know how upsetting it can be when you're missing your pets, and my goal ultimately to reduce the stress and uncertainty of both you and your pet while you're apart. I prefer to care for pets in their home if they are typically distressed outside of their normal environment. However, if you would prefer your pet be taken care of in my home, that's not a problem! I have a fenced in yard with lots of places to walk and parks nearby. We have a friendly Australian Shephard to keep your pets company, as well as plenty of activities and toys for enrichment. I strive to keep your pet on the same routine they have at home and add plenty of activity to reduce the distress they feel in your absence. We do have a cat who is more reserved and tends to stay in his room, as well as three kiddos, all around age 10 with unlimited energy and love for your animals. As far as transportation, I have an SUV with a doggy hammock and seatbelt for safe transport, as well as many different size pet carriers.
About: My name is Hunter and my wife’s name is Hope, I am 25 and she is 24. We absolutely love animals. We both have several cats and dogs of our own. I’ve grown up in a family that have had lots of pets as well. I’ve been dog/ cat sitting for about 4 years now and I really enjoy doing it as a side hustle. I am able to give meditation and take your dogs for walks as requested by owners. I work a full time job during the week from 6am-2pm during the week. I have off on Thursdays and the weekends which I can be at your house anytime before or after then. I am able to do two drop in visits per day. I always make sure nothing is left out or down that pets can accidentally get ahold of. I also always supervise pets whether they are in the house or out in the yard.
“This is our third time booking Michael to care for our two cats while we were gone for 8 days. As always, Michael took excellent care of our babies, making sure to send us lots of pictures and updates each day! We are so glad we found Michael as we know our kitties are in good hands while we are away!”
“As always, Gabbie took wonderful care of my cat. Gabbie always has open communication, awesome care skills for not only my cat but also our home, and makes sure that my cat is loved!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elizabethtown
Amy is a top quality pet sitter⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! She was super consistent with her care and her attention to detail is astounding. Amy took such great care of our dog (Clove) and cat(Cori) to the point that they recognize the mention of her name and get excited when we mention that they will be seeing her again. She sent a plethora of pictures and took time to really love on our babies each time she wad there with them. Clove and Cori would recommend her just as much as I am, thank you Amy!!!🥰🐶🐱✨
Kate was absolutely amazing! She was so sweet, caring, and wonderful with our dog. She took the most amazing pictures and kept up with his toy rotation, which was especially important to my son. It was such a relief knowing he were happy, loved, and well taken care of while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Kate to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur babies! 🐾❤️
Haley is very reliable and went above and beyond. Our dog is one who can be a bit leery of new faces but warmed to Haley after the first visit because Haley took the time to make Elsa feel at ease. We lost all of our worries of leaving our pet behind and recommend Haley to anyone.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Elizabethtown is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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 1,792 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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!
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.
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 .
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.

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.
