“Sophia did a fabulous job taking care of my two dogs! She followed all our instructions, prioritized their needs, and kept us updated throughout, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away.”
“Kari took great care of my two pups while staying at my house, giving me peace of mind while away. She sent daily photo updates and made sure they got plenty of playtime out in the yard. Kari was reliable, respectful, and attentive. My dogs absolutely loved her, and she handled everything seamlessly. I will definitely be hiring her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Jada was wonderful with our dog Max. She kept us posted with pictures and updates which we greatly appreciated. She also took good care of our home. We have already booked her again!”
“Natalie did a great job taking care of our Nora in our home! Our normal dog sitter/ house sitter was busy so we had to try someone new and we made a great choice. I’m always hesitant letting new people into our home but Natalie left our home in the same condition before we left. She went above and beyond taking the garbage out, taking sheets off the bed and starting the dishwasher. She was very communicative of Nora’s needs and how she was doing while we were gone. Natalie communicated her schedule changes as it related to when Nora would be home alone. We would recommend Natalie to other rover users and will use her again!”
“I want to thank Demi and her husband for watching Henry at the last minute. I just moved to Texas and my sitter canceled. They sent photos and kept me updated. I would 💯 recommend and book with them again”
“Ren is so kind and understanding towards dogs with high levels of anxiety. My dog, Copper, loves her! I feel at ease knowing Ren is watching him and appreciate all her attention to details.”
About: I’m experienced with high-energy & large dog breeds! I focus on structured, alert walks and attentive supervision. Above all else, I prioritize your dogs routine & safety first. I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I tend to be more available in the mornings & afternoons, but am happy to do evening work should the need arise! My schedule tends to vary week to week, but my evenings get busy from Thursday to Saturday. Otherwise, I’m happy to help! Safety, structure, and home security are my highest priorities. For house sittings and drop-ins, I strictly follow the owner's established rules, keep entryways locked, and double-check gates/doors before and after any outing. For walks, I practice active leash management and remain hyper-aware of my surroundings—maintaining safe distances from triggers, bikes, and other dogs. I ensure fresh water is always available, and send detailed updates after every visit so you know your pet and home are completely secure.
“Alexis was awesome. Was consistent and gave great updates. We will definitely use her in the future. She made a point to make sure my animals were comfortable with her before the trip.”
About: My family calls me DR. Dolittle, I have always had an uncanny connection to animals. I've always lived with animals. I used to help out on my grandparents ranch with their horses, dogs, and cats. Taking care of animals is part of my daily life. Beside their basic needs food, water, toileting, I enjoy playing with them and keeping them mentally stimulated. I make sure cats and dogs have clean water and are fed on time for their schedule. Making sure dogs get their daily walks and exercise and cats are thoroughly engaged.
About: I have been in love with animals since I was little. I grew up on a farm with horses, cows, a sheep, dogs and cats. I've had 9 rescue dogs throughout my life, as well as 8 niece and nephew pups and countless friends' dogs I've cared for and loved. I have also volunteered at shelters and wildlife rescues, and I've even camel sat! I have experience working with and caring for different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments and have partnered with trainers to help dogs with work through anxiety, over-stimulation, and reactivity issues. I have also cared for special needs dogs and senior dogs who need meds, diapers, traction devices, slings, and extra attention. Once I get to know a pup, I am very attuned to their behavior/mood/signs and am able to help them feel cared for and safe. I'm currently working part time, so my availability is very wide open. I'm free for walks and play time during the day or overnight stays with your pup in your home if you have a work trip or vacation. Is your dog an escape artist? I've had one of those, so I can bring a heavy wooden gate to block off doors or other areas of the house as needed. Other than that, I will treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own dogs, and considering that my friends have said they would like to be reincarnated as one of my dogs....
About: I have many years experience with my pets as well as sitting other pets. In my home and others homes. I love all breeds and sizes and have a background in simple training as well as agility. My most recent pet recently passed so I look forward to filling that void with the love of your fur baby for the time being. What joy they bring us! Give my services a try and I'll treat your pet as it were my own. Thank you for taking the time to read a bit about me and don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have! Looking forward to meeting and sitting your family dog/ fur baby!! Lots of freedom at my house for your precious pets!
“It was nice having such a loving Momma take care of my fur babies while we were out of town. My kitties really opened up to her and enjoyed their time together. Will definitely use her services again.”
“I've had sitters for years, most providing an excellent service. But Deanna Morgan is the champion! I don't even know where to start. From caring for my fur babies and my home to the regular communication whilst I was away, she went above and beyond. Her kindness and concern stretched across thousand of miles even to me. She claims my babies missed me but when I arrived (after the excited mummy cuddles) they checked the open doorway behind me and I know they weren't expecting Amazon! I can't say enough wonderful things about Deanna. However I don't want to give her such a good review that her diary books up and I lose the best sitter ever.”
About: I've been a sitter throughout a majority of my life and have been exposed to all sorts of pets. Dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, even frogs! I spent a lot of my teenage years looking after my neighbors pets and my own. My parents were strict that if we were to have pets they were everyone's responsibility! I have definitely taken on that mentality throughout life, as every pet is precious and worth the love and effort. I'd love to be able to look after your fur-baby if given the opportunity—feel free to reach out! I'm currently starting my own art business, so my schedule is very open, I can work around whatever time you need me there for your pet! Whatever is your routine for your pet and household rules are, I will do everything in my power to uphold it! If you want walks, outdoor time, play time I am happy to accommodate.
“John was able to watch our 3 cats on short notice. He followed complex feeding instructions to make sure that our cat with behavioral issues was fed on a regular schedule in a variety of special feeders. He was also very responsive and a pleasure to work with.”
“Symone was truly amazing! She was very professional at our meet & greet and asked such great questions that focused on both our dogs' comfort as well as ours. She was very communicative while house-sitting, sending us videos of how the dogs were doing while we were gone, letting us know when she would be gone from the house, etc. I would rebook Symone in a heartbeat, very trustworthy, great attentiveness to details, and put our mind at ease with the gentle care she gave our two babies!”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur baby/babies. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and love staying active. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, playing, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I will treat your pets like they’re part of my family! At my current job, I set my own schedule week to week, which gives me flexibility and plenty of opportunities to care for your pets. I can accommodate weekday and weekend bookings depending on my schedule. I enjoy staying active and would love taking your dogs on walks, playing outside, and giving them plenty of attention throughout the day. I’ll make sure your pets receive lots of love and care while you’re away! I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being well cared for!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Elizabethtown is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $73 per night. 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
