“Kate was wonderful and quick to communicate and respond. She sent daily pics of our fur baby. He enjoyed his play time, and she made sure he got his medicine and extra treats as well. Thank you again!”
“Jessica was absolutely awesome. We will not hesitate to have Jessica take care of our dogs in the future. As the day progressed we received updates and pictures which really put our minds at ease. The whole experience was better than we ever expected .”
“Anna is amazing. Our dog is a rescue with reactivity issues. Anna has her own reactive dog and you can tell. She is calm, patient, and understands what our dog is experiencing. She knows when to back off if Luna is getting anxious. I so appreciate her kindness, patience and willingness to work with our dog. You will not find a nicer pet sitter to care for you fur babies.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m patient, attentive, and highly aware of each dog’s individual personality and needs. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or older and more relaxed, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog with the same level of care, empathy, and attention I would want for my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to creating a calm, positive experience for both pets and owners. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, relaxing companionship, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and secure. Because of my flexibility, I’m able to accommodate different routines and energy levels while being attentive to each dog’s specific needs. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, personality, energy level, and any specific instructions provided by the owner to help them feel secure and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they have plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, fresh water, and a clean environment. I’m attentive during walks, careful with doors, gates, and surroundings, and I always prioritize safety and communication. I also understand that every dog is different. Some need play and activity, while others need patience, consistency, and a calm presence. I adapt my care to what helps each pet feel most comfortable and happy.
About: It is very important for any pet to engage in daily activities and to be loved, specifically when they are away from their family. Patience and love is the key to make them feel at home. My family is involved in helping pets feel at home and in taking care of their needs. Depending on the age and the specific care needed, every pet will be in good hands in my house. I usually work with repeated customers that know that their pets are now part of my family. They are testimony of the excellent care and great communication that are part of my services. I will work my daily routine and schedule to be able to care for them. My husband helps when I’m not at home and my daughters love to take dogs on walks I have a fenced yard that is safe for daily activities. There is an open park a block from the house where we go for more open space
About: I have owned pets my whole life, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, frogs, fish, ferrets and now a flock of chickens. Each pet is an incredible responsibility that can bring great joy. Family and friends know they can count on me to help with any pet needs. Be it overnight stays, dog walks, food and water checks and even just a quick stop to snuggle. I am a stepmom, dog mom and substitute teacher, I have a flexible schedule out of school hours and am able to work around kids schedules to make almost anything work. Over the summer I am more free and able to help more. I walk my own dog multiple times a day, as well as spend time playing and snuggling. I have a routine with my flock of chickens for feeding time and creating ways to keep them occupied. My dog is on a scheduled food routine and receives treats throughout the day. My son has a bunny, to which he has a daily routine of playtime and cleaning. I am a person who is great with direction and routine, working to make sure an animal has adequate time for play, food and rest.
About: While I never had pets growing up, I was lucky to be able to pet sit for friends and family growing up. I am most comfortable with cats but I am also comfortable with caring for dogs! I currently work full time but have most evenings and weekends free! I have two cats at home who get plenty of undivided attention and enrichment activities - I'd love to give the same to your pets! I live in an apartment with a second floor patio so I feel comfortable supervising my own pets for outdoor activities. I believe in pets setting the tone for the visit so I'm in tune with animals telling me what they're comfortable with and acting accordingly to their wishes.
“Jenna is excellent with our 1 year old boxer and 2 year old English lab. She’s always on time and keeps me updated with how the girls were for her. She is accountable and my 2 love her. It is comforting to know she can be there for them when I am traveling.”
“Audrey always sends pictures when she does a drop-in for us, which is so appreciative. She’s also very responsive and communicative in a very timely manner. We love her, and that’s why we continue having her as our go-to person!”
“Ashley was FANTASTIC! She was extremely flexible and understanding when my plans were a little chaotic and changed on the fly. Both of my kiddos were taken excellent care of! I will absolutely be calling on Ashley again and again.”
“They were wonderful! Loved having them spend time with my little pack of dogs. If we weren't going to be moving out of their area of service. I would continue to hire them. 10 out of 10!”
About: My husband and I have both owned dogs all our lives and find them to be a very important part of a family. We currently have an adopted pit bull mix named Maizie who we adore and volunteer for the organization Pitties Love Peace. We also house sit for our parents and neighbors when needed. We are very loving of all breeds and sizes as long as they are good with other dogs and kids and look forward to spending time with your pet when you are not able to. Both of our schedules are flexible, and I work from home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. If your dog enjoys walks, I would love to take them during the day or afternoon to burn off some energy. We also have a large open yard to run and play in during the day (on a lead) and enjoy lots of cuddles and belly rubs at night. I work from home Monday, Wednesday and Friday. My husband’s schedule is fairly flexible. We’re usually available on weekends and most holidays. I keep our calendar up to date. We are dog lovers, we have one pitbull mix, who is higher energy, but gets along with all dogs. Dogs are not allowed to sleep in our bed, but they are allowed on the furniture. We can also put them in a crate if that is what you prefer.
About: My family would rely on me to feed, brush, walk, play, give meds and watch their pets over night for several days at a time. I am currently working part-time but my schedule is pretty flexible. I make my own schedule so if I'm given your needs in advance, I should be able to accommodate. I would treat your pet as if they were my own. Your pet would receive attention and quality time during walks and over night stays
“Mary and Derek have been reliable and consistent taking care of Bruno. He can be a finicky eater and tends to be a little diva some times, but he has been comfortable and well cared for. Thank You!”

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.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Elizabethtown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 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.

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

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.
