“Shanika is very responsible, our dog loved her visits. We were notified when she came to our house and Shanika would send us short videos. It was nice to see that! We are recommending Shanika!”


About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats my whole life. My mom was a veterinary Tech so I’ve always been around animals. I currently raise four special needs cats of my own. I am a tattoo apprentice currently, and I make my own schedule, so I am more than willing to work within your needs for whatever works for both you and your furry friend! I have tons of experience with animal care and promise and very hands on experience with your loved on. they will be loved on and completely supervised. I promise to treat them as one of my own!
“We could tell that Olivia took great care of our cats because they were so calm and unstressed when we returned! Wonderful! Their food area was nice and tidy, and everything looked good. Well done!”


About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has never felt like a job—it’s something I genuinely love. Growing up with a high-energy Blue Heeler taught me how important exercise, attention, and consistency are, while helping raise our Standard Poodle gave me experience with daily routines, training, walks, and plenty of playtime. I’ve also spent years caring for family members’ dogs, including multiple Chihuahuas and other breeds, each with their own unique personality and needs. When your dog is with me, they’ll get more than just basic care—they’ll get patience, attention, and someone who truly enjoys spending time with them. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make a priority in my weekly routine. I currently work part-time as a Supervisor at Urban Air and a Sales Associate at Vineyard Vines, which gives me the flexibility to plan my schedule around the pets I care for. I’m usually available most afternoons after 3:30 PM, as well as before 4:00 PM on some Fridays and Saturdays. Even when I have work commitments, I put in the effort to coordinate my time so I can provide dependable care both before and after my shifts whenever possible. While my Sundays can be a bit busier, I always make sure I can provide reliable, attentive care when I accept a booking. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own pet! When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining a safe, consistent, and engaging routine. With my own Standard Poodle, I make sure she is well-fed, has access to fresh water, gets regular potty breaks, and receives plenty of attention throughout the day. Because our yard requires close supervision during outdoor time, I’m accustomed to actively monitoring dogs while they’re outside to ensure their safety. I also make it a priority to provide exercise and mental stimulation through walks, games of fetch, playtime with toys, and one-on-one interaction. When caring for a client’s pet, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help their dog feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while they’re away.

Let’s make tails wag and whiskers twitch — I’ve got this! Pet care is a big and joyful part of my daily life! 🐾 I work a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day.

About: Need a sitter who truly understands dogs? I’ve had pets my whole life and currently raise a happy, 2.5 year old pup who is a total social butterfly. Your dog won't just get a attentive sitter—they’ll get a built-in playmate! I love reinforcing good manners and ensuring every dog feels safe, loved, and thoroughly entertained. I am currently on summer break from school and am home full time. Our days include playtime at home, walks around the neighborhood, and an occasional trip to the dog park. I have an unfenced grassy area outside my front door that we use for play. My dog is also always up for play. I am able to crate dogs if needed too.
“We use Mark all the time to help out when we’re out of town or have busy days at work. He treats denali so well and makes me feel so much better about having to be away from him! We’ve seen Mark working with other dogs in our neighborhood a few times and Denali always runs up to him tail wagging and howling. We could not reccomend Mark more!!”

“My family and I could not have been happier with the care Samye provided for our cats while we were on vacation! For 3 weeks, she visited every other day, scooped their litter and made sure they had food and water and even gave them a bit of special canned food on each visit. We got pictures of our kitties every time Samye visited. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cats were in such good hands. We will DEFINITELY be using Samye to take care of our pets anytime we travel!”

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. After a fun-filled day of play, swimming, and walking at our private facility, I will safely drop them back off at home between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM. 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! All dogs have constant access to fresh drinking water, plenty of shade, and get treated to delicious doggy cookies.

“Marianne did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties while we were away. They were well fed and our long hair didn't have a single knot in his fur. I would highly recommend her services.”


About: I believe every animal deserves a safe space, a home away from home. I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I have trained multiple dogs. I have four pitbull mixes and a collie mix of my own. I love training dogs! They are a passion of mine especially the tough cases. I have dealt with dog aggressive dogs, and people aggressive dogs. I am very patient and kind but also stern so the dogs no who is boss. I currently work full-time in healthcare, however I have a pretty set schedule allowing me to schedule in time to care for your animals needs. I have a fenced backyard and kennel room for dogs who need a little space. I have 5 friendly dogs to keep your baby playing all day!

About: I grew up LOVING dogs and cats and honestly all sorts of animals . I dont have any official training in veterinary practices, but I do feel I do know quite a bit of taking care of animals and making them feel safe and loved . I have two beagles I helped my father raise after we got them from a rescue and they are the best part of my life. I love animals I hope you consider me to animals sit so I can just spend time loving on animals. 😁👍 (I list my experience mainly caring for my beagles but I promise ive been caring for dogs for more than three years) I honestly love spending as much of my day taking care of dogs as I physically can, weather thats bringing them with me places, playing in the yard, or just giving pets. I always try to be with the animal (because as much is i love em sometimes they can get into trouble if not watched) I always make sure I know if foods are safe for animals first off no matter what if I dont know. Even if its treats honestly I still like to read for a second or two. Always make sure areas are safe too, make sure things are picked up so nothing can be grabbed by a doggo, and also if im letting them out to go potty I always keep track of where they are especially at night because things happen to fences all the time and dogs are smart.
“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.”

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. 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.
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.

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.
