“Katie was wonderful with my beloved cat Magnum (who recently passed on to the Rainbow Bridge); so when I adopted a new cat, I knew that I wanted to continue using her services. Even though Mowgli is a much more shy cat and stayed hidden under the bed the whole time, Katie was patient and gentle with him and I continue to highly recommend her!”

She followed instructions clearly and gave my puppy careful attention (gets destructive when bored) and took care of his needs while we were gone. I would hire her again!”

About: I have worked at an animal hospital for 5 years total where I learned how to train dogs from Kathy Sadao who used to train the wales to relinquish the bombs for the Navy. I have owned large and XL breed dogs my whole life as well. I will treat your dog like a human child as they will be allowed on my furniture, my bed, and probably my kids beds as well. I have a little over 10 acres for them to play on. We are starting a small farm style residents and would love to shower your fur babies with love and attention. Since starting Rover, 90% of my clients are returning, and become part of our family as well. I have trained people’s dogs in the time I have had them along with help manage dogs anxiety’s to different things. I helped a water aggressive dog become no longer water aggressive. A dog who pulled on a leash so hard you couldn’t walk him to now, my 6 year old son walks him with no worries. As much as my family loves to play with and cuddle your 4 legged babies we also love to help you out by training them if we can. I have plenty of time for all pet care needs to be met. I am a stay at home mom, but all my kids now go to school so your fur babies will have all my attention most of the time during the week. I have a fenced yard, very safe neighborhood, loving high energetic family, big house, 10 acres, and I have worked at an animal hospital in the past I can tell if something is wrong with your dog. If you would like I love sending pictures and videos as well.

About: Hello! If you choose me to take care of your furry best friend consider them in the best hands! I have grown up with dogs all my life! Different breeds as well from the biggest you can think of to the smallest ankle biter out there. I like to treat all animals as if they were my own. Being a stay at home mom makes that even easier for me. Your pet will have 24/7 attention and have fun walks throughout the day! Being a stay at home mom my schedule is pretty open! We like to start our day bright and early, and having a dog myself we always enjoy a long walk in the morning. I like to walk the dogs at least minimum 3 times a day if your dogs need more or less I can adjust! After play time we love to cuddle up on the couch and rest their little paws All pets will be leashes prior to going on walks in addition my son is also kept away from the dogs especially while they’re eating since I have a dog of my own we have made sure to make sure he knows to be gentle with them and give them space

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, chickens, and ducks from a very young age. For the last 13 years I have worked in the pet food industry developing a knowledge and passion for pet health, behavior and nutrition. My current work schedule is Tues-Sat, I am available for walks, potty breaks and feedings before or after my shifts. Sunday and Monday there is more flexibility in my schedule and I can do mid day drop ins or longer distance runs/walks with higher activity level pets. I would love to meet you and your pet to discuss any special needs or requirements for their care. I have a fenced yard and live in walking distance to a public park and school field that can be used before/after school hours. I prefer to work with your pet in the environment which they are most comfortable, your home. I am open to short stays at my home if that is what is best for your situation.

About: I took care of my mother’s dog while she was away at work. I now live with 3 dogs and while my roommates are busy with work, I make sure their pets’ needs are met as I have a flexible schedule I have a part-time janitorial job at multiple mental health facilities. I have a great amount of time on my hands in between morning and evening shifts. It’s perfect timing for a check-in or walk :) I tend to my roommates pets while they are at work because I’m usually home before them. I have a cat and take litter box clean up and odors *very* seriously.

About: Hi pet friends! I love to go for walks- play ball with you and scratch your belly! I have two dogs and a cat who love to play with each other! I am currently not working and have a very open schedule. I have transportation to get to your house for fun and interactive play dates with your furry family members. I have a large, fenced yard where our two pups can do all the zoomies they need to do safely. My cat is an indoor family member. She loves to play with a mouse on a string. We feed all three of our animal's high quality and nutritious food and yes, they do get treats- not all day but at least once a day! We all need a treat now and then! Our dogs and cat are our family- we protect their health with regular vet checkups, keep them safe from fireworks, play with them to nurture their curiosity and of course snuggle and love them as much as we can. I also love to camp and we take our two dogs Sammi and Presley and the cat too!! Miss Aurora loves to go on adventures with us! I wouldn't have it any other way!

“Karinne watched one of our 10 months old puppies (husky/lab mix) for us named Marlow, for 3 days. We requested visits 3x a day (feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks). She took care of him during some pretty hot summer days and made sure he ate ice cubes, doggy ice cream, and was entertained inside during the hottest parts of the day. She even made sure to move the fan closer to his dog pen to make sure he had enough ways to cool down in between visits. Karinne sent me texts w/ pictures and videos of my pup throughout the stay (even on walks). She also paid attention to his bowel movements and tracked things just in case he had any digestion issues (we had recently changed his food). I had a family member at home during the whole time who was caring for a sick family member upstairs so she also told me that Karinne followed all of my directions and showed up during the requested times. We own 2 dogs and having Karinne watch over our boy dog at home made him comfortable and anxiety free. He can't go to doggy camp because he is not neutered at this time and has a heart murmur. Karinne made our time away from home worry free knowing our pup was in good hands. I will use her services again. Thank You!”

“Jasmin has been a godsend taking care of my pup! She has provided the best care that I have not received anywhere else. She updated me constantly with the best pictures and made sure I knew my pup was doing well! Jasmin also had the sweetest dog named Bentley, I was extremely happy to hear that my pup and her dog really hit it off and played constantly! I am so happy I finally found someone that I trust to take exceptional care of my dog and will definitely be booking her expert services in the future!!”

I was looking for someone to drop in and take care of my pup when his normal day-to-day dog walker was going to be out of town. I was very fortunate to find Katelyn. During the initial meet and greet, my dog Stone was very excited to meet Katelyn. He’s a miniature Bull terrier so he has a lot of energy and doesn’t realize his own strength. She handled him without any issues and gave him lots of “loves”. He can definitely be a handful even on walks given how strong he is, but my neighbors said that Katelyn was great with him, kept him safe, and didn’t let him get away from her lol. She sent me tons of pictures from the backyard where they were all playing together. You can definitely tell she loves animals! I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing care for their furry friends. Stone and I will continue to use her in the future.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Elk Plain

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
