About: I grew up with all sorts of animals, but I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs. I started pet sitting for friends and family when I was 12, and have been doing it on and off since! I am an experienced dog owner who has worked with dogs of all sizes. I would love to meet your puppy! I’m currently working part time, but it is very flexible! I can make almost anything work. I don’t currently have a dog of my own so I will give yours all the love I have. My puppy of 13 years passed away in February. My husband and I are dogless for now as we move around, but once we get settled he’s gonna have to beg me not to adopt every dog at the shelter!
About: With over a decade of experience working at a professional doggy daycare, I know exactly what it takes to keep pups safe, happy, and entertained! On my days off, I run a special "Doggy Bus" adventure. I will personally pick up your furry friend and chauffeur them to our fully equipped daycare facility. Their day includes splashing in the fresh water pool, a dedicated walk, and plenty of fresh water and doggy cookies. It’s the ultimate VIP day out, backed by 10+ years of professional pet care experience! This exclusive Doggy Bus adventure is a 5-6 hour VIP experience, currently available on weekends. I will personally pick up your pup in our specialized doggy bus between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM.

With over 10 years of professional doggy daycare experience, your dog's safety and happiness are my top priorities! Our private, secure facility features a fully fenced grass yard, fun dog ramps, and supervised fresh water pools for splashing. During the day, we take small pack walks (up to 4 dogs at a time) on quiet back roads. If your pup isn't up for a walk, they can safely chill and play at the daycare!

“Brianna was fantastic. She came and sat with our little anxious Millie twice a day. She sent us pictures while we were away and contacted us with any questions. She also was kind enough to keep an eye on our outside plants to make sure the drip system was working properly so all my plants didn’t die. Will definitely have her sit for us again.”


About: I grew up with my family dog for 13 years! I’ve worked in dog grooming daily for 10 months so have had a lot of time spent with various dogs!

Currently finishing up my career as a dog groomer and will have complete availability!

About: I have taken care of all my friends and family's pets for as long as I can remember. I love dogs and cats! I have done month long stays at people's houses and I have also done the quick stop ins for potty breaks and feedings. I am currently not working so I have all the time to take care of your pets! I can do quick drop ins, long walks, overnight stays, whatever you need! I like to follow your pets routine. If they are used to morning walks and daily training I will happily do that! If they are more of a couch potato and like to snuggle, I will sit with them for as long as you'd like.

About: I’ve cared for dogs throughout my life and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. My experience includes feeding, walking, playing, maintaining routines, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed, and caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pup! I’m available on weekdays until 4:00 PM, making me a great option for daytime walks or drop-in visits. I’m also available most weekends, so whether you need care during the week or a weekend getaway, I’d love to help. I have four fur babies of my own at home who I adore. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine to reduce stress. I’ll follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household requests. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved until you return.
About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 14. I’m a huge dog lover so I love playing with my dog and taking her on walks all the time! I just graduated massage therapy school. I'm currently working from home so with that being said I have a lot of extra free time on my hands! I have a fenced yard and another dog that can keep your dog company! She’s very friendly and loves to sleep so she’s not too crazy.
About: Hi my name is kaitlin, i’ve been taking care of all kinds of dogs since I was six. I’ve always been an animal lover, and I enjoy being active, going on runs, hikes. My furry baby unfortunately is a bit lazy. I’ve had countless family members rely on me watching feeding and bathing their pets. My grandmother leaves town often and I watch her Westy, I heard about this app and thought it be a great idea to do something I love. I’m home Monday through Friday every day, i’m a caregiver for my grandmother, and her Westy. So anytime during the day I am ready to walk, babysit, take care of your furry baby. I have a fenced in yard, two little Pomeranians in a Westy. Very friendly dogs they’ve been around dogs their whole life so they’re very used to other animals. I treat all of my animals like they are my children.
About: I’ve had a drive to care for animals my entire life! I grew up with dogs and mostly cats and would dog-sitting for family members anytime they needed! I’ve always known that I wanted to work with animals when I grew up but veterinary care would make me too sad as it physically pains me to see sad and hurt animals:( I also have a history with horses and competing! I spent a summer(2023) in Louisiana volunteering at a barn where retired racehorses would get sent to rehab, retrain, and eventually rehome! I would spend all day helping rehab the horses! I worked at PetSmart both in the store as a PetCare Specialist and in the Grooming Salon as a Professional Bather! During my time there I realized how much I love making pets and their parents happy and a little more healthier! I loved talking with pet parents and educating them while also hearing about their furry babies! Nothing made me happier than seeing one of my clients walking in - tail wagging! I have a dog and a cat of my own! My dog is a mini Australian Shepherd whom I have trained myself! He loves to do agility training! I also groom him myself! I rescued my cat from the side of a freeway when he was a little kitten. He’s had some medical issues regarding his bladder so I’m well rounded with cat care and administering medicine! My cat is now my little Velcro kitty who always wants to be involved in what I’m doing! I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs- big and small! While I normally don’t have a preference between the two, I am currently pregnant with my first so I’m only really able to physically handle small/medium dogs for the time being. As a pet mom myself, pet care is a daily routine for me! I am a stay at home wife (soon to be mom) and spend most of my days spoiling my dog and cat! I’m new to the area so I don’t really have much that gets me out of the house and I absolutely love being around animals so I figured why not try to fill my time by helping other pet parents out who may not have as much time on their hands as I do! I’m very flexible with scheduling and last minute bookings so never hesitate to reach out! During my time working in the PetSmart grooming salon, I became very used to nervous and anxious dogs as grooming time can be very stressful for pets! I’d say I’m pretty good at recognizing anxious behavior and doing my best at making pups more comfortable! I also understand how nerve wracking it can be to trust someone with your pet - especially someone new! I have had an experience in the past that left me traumatized when it comes to leaving my pets in someone else’s care. So I too understand that overwhelming need to check in on your baby and make sure everything is going well! I promise you, as someone who has been on the other end, I am always welcoming to multiple check in texts, long lists, picture requests, and the need for as many details as possible! I’m someone who likes to feel sure in what they’re doing so if I have any questions or concerns- they will be brought up immediately. I never like to assume because there’s always a chance I could be wrong, so I like to get all the details!
About: I have a 2 year old cowboy corgi named Bubba that I’m obsessed with. He loves having other dogs over to play with! We promise to take good care of your pup! I work from home doing customer service Monday-Friday full time. So if you need your pup to be boarded it just watched for the day, I can do it! Bubba would also love it. I have a little side yard that is enclosed, so there is a place for them to play outside and go to the bathroom. I let my dog go out often. I keep my apartment clean with lots of dog toys and treats!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Elk Ridge stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Ridge 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!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Elk Ridge with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elk Ridge. On Rover:

- 94% 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.
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.
