“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mark took incredible care of Roosevelt and kept us updated every single day with the best pictures. Honestly, there are dog sitters… and then there’s Mark! He truly goes above and beyond in every way. Not only was he a fantastic house guest, but most importantly, Roosevelt absolutely loved him! 🐾 Highly recommend!”
“Brittany was very flexible with me and had no problem adapting to last minute changes from me. She was great with my dog and the house was clean when I got back from vacation. She made being gone a breeze and I already have her booked for another trip! I would recommend her to anyone who asks”
“Abby was absolutely amazing! My dog loved her instantly and she was so attentive to his individual needs and anxiety. I was anxious to try out new dog sitters as I just moved to the area but she was always keeping me in the loop and was extra loving to my fur buddy. Will use again!”
“I can’t say enough about what an amazing job Kristi did. I would highly highly recommend her services. She communicated on a regular basis. I’ve used sitters before where they were just “there”. Kristi actually spent time interacting with my three dogs. She took the time to get to know each of their personalities. She asked questions about what they liked and didn’t like and even took time to brush them. Five stars!!’”
“Shay was a great caregiver for our two pups. She communicated often and sent plenty of photos of their time together. We liked that she asked questions about any concerns she may have had. She left our home in top shape. When we returned, our pups seemed happy and well cared for. We will use Shay again.”
“Patrick is very pleasant to interact with. Very patient with the dogs and they fell in love with him. Great communication. He took great care of my fur babies and my home.”
About: I've had multiple dogs over my lifetime. I have always been a dog lover and am always sure to give them the love, attention, and exercise that they need and deserve. I work from home two days a week, so the only days I am not at the house with the dogs is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On the days that I do not work from home, somebody is always at the house until 7:30 and back at the house by 3:30 I have a fenced in back yard, which makes for a nice safe area to play fetch and run around with my kids. For pets staying overnight, they will get walked at least twice, once in the morning and once in the evening. Depending on the owners preference, we can walk through the neighborhood, or we can take a short drive to Zorinsky and walk around the lake. I have three dogs, all with great temperaments and LOVE to play. I also treat our animals like family, so your pets are also more than welcome to be on furniture if that's where they are most comfortable.
“Charity did a wonderful job with our two cats and our corgi!! She stayed at our home, walked our dog, and care for them so lovingly. We have a 17 year old cat who is blind and requires daily medication and she did a great job caring for him, giving him his meds, and making him feel safe while we were out of town. I would 100% hire Charity again!”
“Alyssa is so amazing. She listens, is attentive, knowledgeable, and has wonderful calm energy. Love that we found her and will definitely be using her services again! Thanks so much, Alyssa, for taking such good care of our pup while we were out!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10 years old. Neighbors and family have relied on me to feed, walk, play and bathe their pets! I am available any time to dog walk anytime! I am also available to dog/cat sit whenever needed as well. I love animals so I would love any type of age or breed ! I have a lot of animals at home and make sure to feed walk and play with them each day! I would treat other animals just the same as mine!
“We recently have started using Rover to assist with dog sitting while we are out of town. I chose Theresa because she has a background of taking care of senior dogs, special needs, and medication administration. She was great with daily updates/feedback. We had been out of town for 3 weeks, she assisted with part of that time. While my dog was in her care she noticed an unusual cough. I was able to set up a veterinarian appointment for the next day. She was happy to take my dog to the vet's office. And called me during the appointment to talk with the veterinarian. Unfortunately, it was not the best news but she was able to administer the new medication, so my dog could be on his way to better health. I appreciate her noticing the issue, and taking care of it. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: Hi! I'm a fourth-grade teacher with a lifelong love for animals, so caring for others comes naturally to me. I'm dependable, responsible, and understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and happy while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! As a fourth-grade teacher, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Before and after work, I make time for walks, feedings, playtime, and lots of attention. Evenings and weekends are especially flexible, giving me plenty of time to provide quality care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care that I would my own. I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I take the time to learn each pet's schedule and preferences. In my client's home, I'll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines exactly as instructed while giving your pet plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I'll also keep your home clean, respect your space, and send regular photo and text updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
“Shaylee was fantastic with my cat! She took the time to understand his special diet and handled his twice-daily feesings with complete care and attention. He quickly warmed up to her, and the frequent updates and photos she sent gave me complete peace of mind. She is completely trustworthy, attentive, and clearly loves what she does I couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend her.”
“Kim is amazing! This was the first time she stayed with my dogs and surpassed all expectations. She sent several update and pictures of dogs which made me feel at ease and I was able to enjoy my time away.”
About: I grew up with animals, so I am comfortable around and am experienced with them. I also frequently dog and cat sit for friends and acquaintances! I work part time, so I have plenty of time to give animals the time and love they need! I also am flexible with schedule. I offer dog walking and services only at client's home, but I am careful, trustworthy, and will follow instructions well. I will accommodate to whatever you and your pet needs!
About: I’m a proud pet mom to both a dog and a cat, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of each. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention.

“Kylene was very personable and it was easy to see how much she enjoys animals. Was very reliable. Arrived when expected. She kept great contact by sending periodic pics to assure me Lydia was comfortable and being cared for. I would recommend her and I will definitely use her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elkhorn
Lynn was absolutely incredible! We are so lucky to have found her. She stayed at our home for 6 nights with our 2 girls. We have never left our babies with anyone else while traveling. It was a bit nerve-racking even thinking about it. The minute we met Lynn, our worries were completely gone. She was warm and kind and so personable. We knew she was the right fit immediately. On our trip, she was communicative and sent lots of photos. She's a natural photographer. We could tell our girls were completely content and relaxed with her there. Our girls had such a great time with her. Honestly, I feel they couldn't have cared less we were home haha. We were so happy to have someone in our home with them and not have to uproot them to a boarding facility. We will 100% book with Lynn again. She is incredible!
Aimee is amazing! We absolutely love her. Sweet & kind with Ryker & kept in communication with everybody. We even had a small hiccup with a beeping noise from our carbon monoxide detector & she reached out to us but no response. So she made sure to reach out to our emergency backup. No issues just battery. But grateful on the communication all around. Sent plenty of pics while we were on our vacation. Highly recommended & we felt good knowing our fur baby was in great hands.
Brooklyn is a professional and responsible pet sitter. I appreciated her excellent communication throughout her 10 days staying with my 2 dogs. She followed my care instructions and took great care of our home. The puppies were super happy when we got home and we could tell that they had had a great time with Brooklyn. Would definitely recommend Brooklyn to others who are looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter.
Laura did an exceptional job of caring for our two pups while we were out of town this past week. She is a great communicator and sent photos and video clips that helped us be assured that they were happy and safe. We highly recommend Laura and will use her again in the future!
Melissa was absolutely amazing! Abby and Melissa bonded immediately at the meet and greet. I was able to go on vacation and trust her with administering Abby’s insulin. It was such an ease to my nerves especially with her quick and professional responses! I would absolutely recommend Melissa to any family and friends who need help with pet sitting and I can’t wait to call her in the future! She was the best, thank you so much Melissa!!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Elkhorn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Elkhorn is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 639 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Elkhorn. 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 Elkhorn 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 Elkhorn 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Elkhorn 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 , 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 .
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 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.
