Stephanie did a great job looking after our boys! She kept us in the loop at all times, she was kind and helpful, gave the boys all the exercise and affection they crave, and our dogs adore her. We will definitely rebook :-)

Shauna was amazing. Her communication was excellent. She was always quick to respond, she sent us regular photos and updates, and asked thoughtful questions. Our dog seemed comfortable around her immediately and enjoyed snuggling and going on walks with her. She went above and beyond while taking care of our house and our pets, and we would absolutely love to work with her again. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive. Our cats are typically very anxious and don’t warm up to new people easily, but she was incredibly patient and gentle with them. By the end of our trip, they were comfortable and even snuggly with her, which really says a lot. She treats your pets like her own and consistently goes above and beyond what’s asked. As anxious pet parents, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also provided regular, detailed updates, which helped us feel connected and reassured while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our pets and will definitely be using her again. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets, understand their quirks, and keep you sane while you’re away—she’s it. 10/10, no notes.

Christina did an amazing job watching Toby! He can definitely be difficult about coming out of his room and going outside to pee, but she was so patient and caring with him. I’d definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to watch their pet!

She watched our two dogs and the house for 3 nights. She was flexible with changes in our schedule, administered medications without issues, and updated us as needed. She left the house clean. I would book her again!

About: 💗 Experienced with a variety of furry friends 💗 Consistent communicator 💗 Comfortable with large dogs and pets with behavioral challenges I have never known a life without the joy of pets! My experience with many dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, and even a turtle make me a highly adaptable and knowledgable sitter. Consistent communication is highly prioritized in my service as I provide updates and photos often. Taking care of animals including feeding, cleaning up after, bathing, and playing with them has always been a part of my routine and I have pet and house sat for a wide variety of animals. I have experience with special needs pets that require lots of attention as well as those that like to be left alone and are more solitary. A pets quality of life is extremely important to me, I can guarantee I will take great care of your companions. I am a part time student and color guard coach, which gives me the ability to have an extremely flexible schedule to check on pets as much or little as you need. I take a lot of pride in ensuring that I can create the best possible pet sitting experience for you. Respecting animals boundaries/preferences is extremely important to how I carry out pet responsibilities. People and pets alike all have different routines and needs so please do not hesitate to let me know every little detail to make this experience as positive as possible for yourself and your furry friend. You can be assured of the safety and happiness of your pets.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 16 and I’m now 26 . My friends, family members and my boss have trust me with their paw-friends & you can to🐶❤️ I also have experience working with elder dogs and giving them their medication as needed . I’ve dog sat for so many friends and family for the past several years and it’s honestly so rewarding 😊🌸 Pet care is already part of my routine because I enjoy spending time with my two dogs . I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and giving pets the attention and care they need to feel happy and comfortable. 🐾 I treat every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home clean, secure, and provide regular updates to pet parents. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment with plenty of exercise, enrichment, and companionship. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. 🐾

About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs at once, including a variety of breeds like Chihuahuas, Bulldogs, Boston Terriers, and Labs. Because of this, I’m very comfortable managing different temperaments, energy levels, and routines all at the same time. I have experience with puppies (feeding schedules, potty training support, and basic routine building) as well as adult and senior dogs who may need a calmer, more attentive approach. I’m also familiar with dogs that have sensitive skin or dietary needs, and I can carefully follow feeding instructions, including toppers or specific diets. What sets me apart is my ability to handle multi-dog households confidently while still giving each pet individual attention. I’m patient, observant, and focused on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and stress-free. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel secure while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I already care for multiple dogs at home. I’m used to structured feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest schedules, so I’m very consistent and reliable with routines. I am flexible throughout the week and can adjust my schedule to meet the needs of each pet. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening care, I make sure pets are checked on and cared for on time. I prioritize pet care as part of my daily responsibilities, not something I rush or squeeze in. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I always follow owner instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medication schedules, and behavior guidelines. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can quickly notice if anything seems off. In my care, pets are kept in a calm, supervised, and pet-friendly environment. I make sure they always have clean water, a safe space to rest, and plenty of attention. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space, keep everything clean and organized, and follow your home rules exactly as instructed. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I communicate regularly with updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care, attention, and adaptability I bring to every pet I look after. I treat each animal like they’re my own, which means taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work fulltime but weekends I am fully available! I love animals and always have since I was little. Growing up we’ve always have had dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard and we have plenty of room for the dogs to run around. I do also have a pug that is 6 years old but he is super friendly.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of every kind since I was 10—big, small, shy, or extra wiggly! Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and pamper their pets for years. Along the way, I’ve also cared for reptiles, birds, and other unique companions. Whether it’s a turtle that needs tank time, a parrot that loves to chat, or a pup who lives for belly rubs, I treat every pet like part of the family! I’m a college student with an open and flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and can easily adjust my hours to fit your pet’s routine. My home is spacious, cozy, and fully pet-friendly! I have plenty of toys, treats, bones, and comfy spots for pets to relax and play. While I don’t have a yard, I’m close to several beautiful dog parks and walking trails here in Clovis—perfect for daily walks and exercise. Pets in my care enjoy a safe, fun, and loving environment where they’re treated like part of the family.

FAQs for House Sitting - Elk

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 591 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Elk. 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 Elk 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 Elk 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 Elk 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elk. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

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.
