“This was my first time using Candice and my dogs were well taken care of. She communicated well, and was flexible and responsible. She went above-and-beyond and she has my recommendation.”
“Adam was fantastic, I highly recommend him! He is extremely friendly and I can tell how much he cares for animals. He took great care of our pup and house, and definitely eased my anxiety over leaving for a week. He was very communicative and I loved the pics he sent for updates!”
“Anna watched our dogs for 3 days 2 nights while we took a weekend getaway. We have an elderly dog and a young energetic dog. She was amazing and able to accommodate both their very different needs. She kept us very informed the whole time we were out. Provided us many pictures and updates while she was at our home. We would definitely utilize Anna again in our dog sitting needs. The dogs were happy and so were we! Thanks Anna!”
“Teagan was great as a house sitter and for watching my cat Moo. They were respectful, communicative, understanding, and took plenty of pictures so I could relax while I was on vacation knowing Moo was safe and happy. I especially appreciated the little gift I came home to. I recommend them highly!”
About: I have watched all kinds of animals I have been trusted by family neighbors and friends since I was 10 to watch & care for there pets! I have one person I recently start watching for and he told me I am one of the only people he trust with his animals and house🥰 I normally do it around my work schedule! I will make sure they are left out before I go to work and as soon as I get out of work if it’s on a work day! I have a 1 year old German shepherd she is a big loving baby and gets along with everyone and all animals! She is very energetic and she has a big yard to run around in!
About: I’ve been a dog lover for years with experience taking care of pets of all sizes and ages. It all started with my family’s English Mastiff. Later I adopted my elder mini schnauzer mix and most recently, I take care of my 10 year old Boxer Pitbull mix (Missy). My experience isn’t just with elderly pups, I also have house trained and sat puppies for my family (they have 5 in total). I’m happy to help give your fur-babies the best care possible! I take classes throughout the day and work part time Monday through Wednesday, but I have all day from Thursday through Sunday to spend with your furry best friend! I’m flexible with timing and if you need additional coverage or help let me know and we can make a schedule together. I’m comfortable with all pets! No baby is too big or small as I’ve had pets of many sizes and understand the needs of each. My dog (Missy) is afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks, so I understand the needs of bug babies with anxiety. I also help pet sit my family’s other pets which include a hyperactive Australian shepherd/heeler mix. I can’t wait to be your dogs walking buddy or their next couch companion during a storm!
“Kevin was wonderful with Molly and Leia! He took great care of them, kept us updated, and sent photos while we were away, which gave us peace of mind. We really appreciated his communication, reliability, and the attention he gave our dogs. They were happy and well cared for when we got home. We would definitely recommend Kevin and would love to have him watch them again!”
“Briana went above & beyond for our 3 dogs during her house sitting stay with them. She communicated clearly & effectively, provided regular updates, & spent lots of time with them while we were away. You can tell that she genuinely cares for them & wants to make them feel comfortable & loved. It meant a lot to us & reassured us while we were away. We would definitely recommend her & use her again! Thank you, Briana :)”
“Ronny is everything one could want in a pet sitter and house sitter! He is professional, courteous, communicative, and most important of all, amazing with pets. I loved my updates and photos while I was away for three weeks, and I could count on him to keep me up to date with what was going on for his safety and my cat’s safety during some heatwaves/storms. I could tell my cat was relaxed and happy with her buddy around. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all kinds and know firsthand the love and attention they need. From my first dog, Francis—a loyal Cocker Spaniel/Beagle mix who was part of the family for 16 years—to Olivia, a playful Boxer mix who brought joy for 9 years, I’ve learned how to care for dogs with different personalities and health needs. Now, I’m lucky to share my life with Lulu, a 3-year-old Staffy and Pitbull mix. I treat every dog with the same love and care I give my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved. Taking care of pets is just part of my everyday life. I make sure there’s time for walks, play, meals, and plenty of love every day. I’m used to paying attention to what each dog needs—whether it’s some extra energy to burn or just some chill cuddle time. Basically, I fit pet care into my routine because I genuinely enjoy hanging out with dogs and making sure they’re happy. I live in a quiet apartment with my dog Lulu, which provides a calm and safe environment for pets. I’m also close to several parks with plenty of space for walks and playtime, so your fur baby will get lots of exercise and fresh air. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or during in-home visits, I always make sure water is available and follow feeding routines tailored to your dog’s needs. I take pride in giving attentive walks, regular potty breaks, and plenty of love to keep your dog happy and comfortable while you’re away.
“Jaden watched our 2 dogs this week, one of which is 1 year old with endless energy. He did an excellent job of taking care of our girls, even singing to and celebrating our older girls 7th birthday. Would definitely recommend.”
“Billie just watched my dog for two days and again I am blown away with her service. She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy active and attended to. Absolutely the best so happy to work with her.”
“Cassidy was a pleasure to work with. She stayed in touch and kept us updated. It worked out great to be able to schedule an evening out while we were visiting Hershey, PA. Our girl, Shadow warmed up to Cassidy and the pics she sent were adorable. She was on time and took great care of our pup.”
“Mary did an amazing job making sure my dogs got all of their medications on time. I really appreciated the regular updates and adorable pictures while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley was amazing! She notified us and sent a picture of our pups soon after she arrived. She kept us updated by emails and photos throughout her stay. Because our return was tentative because of driving back from a wedding, she stopped by in the afternoon to let the pups out prior to our return. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Absolutely amazing, such a sweetheart and very communicative, took amazing care of my baby boys and did it last minute for me which I appreciate so much. She is so amazing and genuinely cares for the pups. House was clean, pups were happy, and they were fed 🤍🤍”
“Barbara is a natural! I have a hesitant, scared of a lot of things dog and he warmed up to her in no time. She was wonderful with both my doggies. I’m a worrier, but felt good leaving my dogs in her hands. She is responsible and communicative and takes good care to follow whatever regimen/schedule you ask her to. We came home to very calm and happy dogs. So happy to have found her!”

Anna is a natural. We have 2 Dobermans. Our female can be quite intimidating but Anna was very calm and poised in her presence. We appreciate how well she stuck to our pups schedule and sent us frequent “pup”dates to alleviate any worries we may have had otherwise. Our home was exactly the way we left it. Anna deserves to be a 5 Star Sitter.
Amber took such good care of my cat while I was away! She kept in touch and sent me updates with lots of photos which gave me peace of mind. She even went above and beyond to clean all the litter that my cat tracked around the floor! I highly recommend Amber for your pet sitting needs and will definitely be rebooking her in the future!
"Wow! My husband and I were able to enjoy a few days at the beach knowing our two dogs were in Lauren's exquisite and professional care. She truly went above and beyond, nurturing and caring for our fur kids around the clock.Lauren kept us updated constantly with pictures and great communication, which made our trip so much more relaxing. She is incredibly positive and professional. We are already looking forward to having Lauren sit for our dogs again soon. I HIGHLY recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a top-tier sitter on Rover!"
We’ve had Adam housesit for us a few times now and he always does a splendid job! We get pictures and updates every day. He takes time to learn the animals personalities and if he has any questions/concerns, he always asks which we appreciate! Our animals love him and he takes great care of our house too! We would absolutely have him housesit again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Elizabethtown on Rover is $47.94 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 986 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Elizabethtown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
