About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a horse farm surrounded by all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I’ve always felt comfortable around animals of all sizes, including big dogs and pets with unique personalities or needs. I have 7+ years of experience with pet sitting, dog walking, and overnight stays, and I’ve cared for dogs with all different temperaments and energy levels. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, keeping them comfortable in their routine, and making sure they feel happy and cared for while their owners are away. I have a 10 year old cat named Humphrey who is my absolute pride and joy. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’d love the chance to meet your furry friends and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve! I recently graduated college this April and have moved in with my parents in Northlake. I am currently job searching which means my schedule is very flexible, and I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets! Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and love making part of my daily routine. I’m able to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a calm presence while you’re away, or someone to keep them company overnight, I’m happy to help. My flexible schedule allows me to be reliable, attentive, and present for your furry friends when they need it most. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always start by learning each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping their pets on their normal schedule: following feeding instructions, maintaining their routines, providing walks, playtime, attention, and plenty of affection. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident while you’re away! I understand that every animal is different, and I’m always mindful of their boundaries, energy level, and individual personality.
“10/10 Ren took excellent care of the fur babies and left the house uncannily like she found it (maybe cleaner??). She followed instructions to the tee, even going above and beyond for the fish, and sent cute pics while we were on vacation. Everybody was fed and cheerful when we arrived home.”
“Sophia dog sat in our house over Memorial Day weekend & was fantastic!! She sent several updates and photos daily. She was super responsive and our doggies seemed to be happy in her care! She left our house in great condition. She even volunteered to let out the dogs again after leaving due to our flight being delayed. Would highly recommend her for any dog sitting or drop-in needs!!”
“We booked Kaylen for house sitting with our two cats and two dogs for a few days while we were out of town and I can’t say enough great things about her! The animals instantly warmed to her and we loved receiving the photo updates each day. She walked the dogs each morning and even gave them a little grooming while we were gone! Truly an overall 10/10 experience and we are so thankful she was available to stay with our pets!”
“Brittany took care of our pup with no problems. We appreciate her communication and willingness to meet our pup before her stay. We also appreciate her being respectful to his schedule and keeping him active!”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable, caring pet lover offering dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting for dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attention, and genuine care for their routine, comfort, and personality. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or shy and relaxed, I adjust my care to meet their needs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medication reminders (if needed), and giving plenty of affection and attention. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your pets a calm, consistent, and loving experience. Pet care fits into my weekly routine with flexible scheduling. I prioritize house sitting, walks, and drop-ins to provide consistent, reliable, loving care for pets. I follow your instructions closely, maintain a safe routine, secure doors and leashes, monitor pets at all times, and provide respectful, trustworthy in-home care.
About: I’ve owned dogs all my life, from puppies to seniors. I’m a sitter who treats your pup like my family! Personal attention and peace of mind. I have an extremely flexible routine because I do not have a job. I’m also an empty-nester with just my husband and myself at our home. I have a fenced backyard and plenty of room inside to accommodate your fur-baby. You can count on me for pictures and updated information daily.
About: Since I was about 10 years old and had my first dog, a floppy Basset Hound named Happy, I have loved taking care of pets, especially dogs. Just like Happy received, I believe every dog deserves genuine care, attention and affection. I'll be sure to love on and give your dog special care, just like I did Happy. I work from home Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your dog, including walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because I work from home during the week, your dog will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. I provide a calm, loving environment with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of affection and belly rubs. I follow each pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. In your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I love all dogs and Gods creatures. I have been around animals all my life. I used to sit outside as a kid on my grandmas porch giving the stray cats attention. If anyone in my family had a dog I would find myself on the floor spending quality time with the dog. I also have a special place in my heart for elderly dogs. I want them to be comfortable and happy. I work part time from home, so I have plenty of time to give care and love to your dog. I can also take them for walks if they need exercise! I have a fenced in back yard for your dog to run around and have potty breaks. I can make a cozy spot at bedtime for your pet if you are able to provide their crate. I will make sure they are fed, safe and happy.

Could not have asked for a better sitter! Andi was AMAZING and is the kind of sitter every pet parent hopes to find! She cared for our pup (and home) like her own, kept us updated with lots of photos and messages, and made being away totally stress-free. Our house was spotless (seriously cleaner than when we left!) and our pup was all smiles when we got home. Truly the best--we'll definitely be repeat clients!

FAQs for House Sitting - Elizabethtown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Elizabethtown on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,312 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.

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.
