About: I’ve loved on and cared for pets all my life. Newborn to senior with fur, feathers, and fins. Loving them like my own, following your rules, giving them the life they deserve. It’s as much for me as it is them. I’m currently available for weekdays and weekends. I have a flexible schedule I manage my obligations at my own pace so very easy to schedule. I follow your rules to keep consistent daily structure for your loved one. Pawsitive reinforcement, lots of verbal encouragement, plenty of fun, attention and love just like they deserve.
“Grace was great with my boy Murphy! She was very communicative and made sure I was aware of anything I needed to be made aware of. Murphy loved the visits and I will definitely rebook her in the near future!”

“Kady responded promptly to my sitting request! Once she arrived she was very calm and respectful to my dog who I explained is super nervous & timid the first time she meets anyone new. My dog had no issues with her. We will be using Kadys services in the future! 5/5 recommend!”

“We are so thankful for Lucy! She was available last minute to check in on our golden retriever while we were out of town. Lucy went above and beyond for a simple drop in visit - walking Saylor around to explore/potty, feeding her dinner (even her pre-dinner trick ritual haha), giving her plenty of water breaks, playing with her inside too, etc. This was our first Rover experience and we are so glad it was with Lucy, the peace of mind is priceless. We 1000% recommend her and will be requesting her next time!”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s never known a home without a furry companion. From playful puppies to wise seniors, tiny toy breeds to big lovable giants—I’ve had the joy of caring for them all. Growing up surrounded by dogs taught me not only how to care for them, but how to truly connect with them. Whether your pup loves a good long walk, a game of fetch, or just lounging around for cuddles and belly rubs, I’ll match their energy and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique quirks and personality—that’s what makes every visit so special! Dogs are my world, and I’m here to treat yours like family. I currently work from home- I’m such a homebody anyways so the most they would be without supervision would be around 2 hours while I’m at the gym! I have a Bernese mountain dog, Tator who is super friendly and welcoming to anyone he meets. Your dog can join Tator in the yard
About: I’ve been a pet owner for many years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. Pets are part of the family, and I will always treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and care that I would want for my own. I currently have a flexible part-time schedule, which gives me plenty of availability to provide dependable dog walking and drop-in visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention while you’re away or busy. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your dog gets exercise, fresh air, attention, and time to explore while keeping their safety a priority. I’m comfortable following your instructions regarding walking routes, leash preferences, feeding schedules, and your dog’s individual needs. During drop-in visits, I can provide potty breaks, fresh food and water, playtime, companionship, and lots of love and attention. I’ll also make sure your pet is comfortable and everything is secure before I leave. I know leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be stressful, which is why communication and reliability are extremely important to me. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I look forward to getting to know yours! Whether your dog needs a good walk to burn off some energy or simply some company and attention while you’re away, my goal is to make their time with me safe, fun, and comfortable. 🐶❤️ I currently work part time so I have plenty of time outside of my work schedule to take care of fur babies! I don't have an exact schedule so I have the flexibility. I only offer drop in visits or home sitting. I will make sure they are in a safe environment at all times. Making sure the gates and/or doors are closed at all times so that the fur babies don't get out.

I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I make it a priority to follow your instructions carefully. My services include: • Dog walking and exercise • Feeding and fresh water • Playtime and companionship • Overnight or drop-in visits • Litter box and waste cleanup • Photo and text updates while you’re away I’m trustworthy, patient, and committed to treating your pets like family. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have used trusted care for my pets and understand how important it is to have someone to help when needed. I have two friendly Australian shepherds and experience with many breeds, sizes and ages. I have grown up with pets my entire life and owned multiple dogs for 20 years. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! I’m currently working a hybrid schedule and am home 2-3 days during the week. I have availability for in home and drop in visits or walks during the weekend as well. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly and fixed dogs to give yours company while away. Open to in home or drop in visits as needed along with walks and needed exercise. I have two children that have been raised around pets that respect them and enjoy playing with them. If your dog prefers a crate we are a crate trained home.
About: I am an animal LOVER, and willing to make sure your dog has a safe and fun experience! I’ll make sure your dog gets all the love, care and attention they deserve. My husband and I have been married 14 years and we have twin daughters. Our family also had a dog, Herky (of 13 years), who we recently passed away. We recently began our Rover journey to help fill the void in our home after losing Herky. We are looking for some puppy love and snuggles, to help heal our hearts. I work full-time, but our family has plenty of time to take care of your pet during breaks. Your pet will never be left alone more than a few hours at a time, and we are home in the evenings to take care of your fur baby! I have a nice back yard. In addition the high trestle trail is in our backyard which allows for nice long walks with your fur baby!
“Elizabeth was a great communicator. She sent me photos and short videos of my cat each day that she cared for him. It made me feel better to see him and know he was OK. She brushed him regularly, and the litter box was clean when I got home. I was happy with her services and will ask her to care for my pet again when I go on vacation.”

About: I worked at a pet boarding facility for 3 years prior to my current position. I learned valuable skills such as learning behavior, correcting behavior, and how to communicate social cues to pet parents. I'm hoping to find clients that needs someone during unconventional times as I work a full time position. Please let me know what times you're looking for and we'll see if I can be a fit for you and your pet! As I mentioned earlier, I treat my dog like my own child. I consider the facts that she can't speak for herself or vocalize her concerns, pains, etc. I know that when I have someone watching my pet, I want to ensure that they can read her cues and handle a emergent situation. I'm prepared to be that person you pet finds comfort in when you're away.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for just over 10 years. I’ve done house sitting, drop ins, and boarding for neighbors and friends. I have helped to train puppies, and taken care of senior dogs. I’ve also been in charge of bathing dogs, cats, and even horses! Currently I am working part-time, I am free early in the morning as well as after 3:00pm. I can house sit or board on the weekends! I have a big yard to play in! I also have a rambunctious 2 year old puppy who loves making new friends. I can easily crate your dog if needed. They will get lots of play and rest time. (Along with snuggles!)
“Ash has been amazing, from beginning to end!! Great communication, and my pup must love her, because he is way better behaved for her than us, LOL!! Highly recommend!!”

About: Hello my name is Tuyen (twin). I’ve been dog sitting for 6 years of all ages & sizes. I’m a dog lover and adore animals with great passion. I’m patient, attentive, loving, trustworthy and playful with dogs. I love to give them what they need/deserve. I would watch my dogs friends when they’re out of town or at work, I would feed, let them out for potty breaks or take them on a neighborhood walk. When caring for dogs, my goal is to spend as much outside as possible , go on adventures, relax on the couch & give them a lot of treats. They deserve the best love & life while they’re on earth. I work part time Monday-Friday, I am off at 5:30PM. I can do drop ins if needed before or after I work. I am also available on the weekends. I would love to take your dog on daily walks to the park if you don’t have time any of those days/times :) In order to make you feel trusted & comfortable with me to take care of your fur babies, I will take multiple pics, follow instructions what’s needed for your fur babies care & to know what their feeding schedule is. I will update you as much as I can when I do drop ins or spend the night with them. I will make sure they’re happy, fed, and give them lots of love while you’re gone.
About: Hello! My name is Emily and I’m passionate about providing outstanding care for your furry friends! I am reliable, have excellent communication skills, deep sense of responsibility and I’m here to ensure you that your furry friend receives the best care and attention they deserve! I am 30 years old and have owned some sort of pet (dogs, cats, guenia pigs, hermit crabs, hedgehogs and much more) my entire life. I am very comfortable around all animals (breeds and sizes). I can assure you your pet(s) will be treated as if they were my own. I believe in open and honest communication, so you’ll receive updates on your pet while you are gone or for when I pop in to take them for a walk or break. Whether that’s informing you of giving medications, exercise or play time. I’m committed to maintaining their (and your) routines and keeping everyone happy. I am currently working full time but have a rotating schedule each week. Most weeks I have two days off plus the weekends. On my days off I will have plenty of time to tend to your furry friends needs, take them for a walk (or walks) and make sure they get plenty of attention, care and love. I will have time to spend at your home with your furry friend to make sure they are getting the care and love they need while you are away.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Elkhart 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 Elkhart 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 .

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 Elkhart 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.
