“Janet was great! She came to my home while we were away for a wedding. It was a long day so I asked her to come three times because my dogs are used to me being home all day. They aren't on a very good schedule for going outside as they can go whenever they need. Janet agreed to come with only a day's notice. She met the dogs the day before. I have two mastiff dogs and she showed the right confidence with big dogs. Janet is easy to talk to and plan with. The dogs liked her immediately. I was very much at ease giving Janet my key and leaving her with the dogs. One less thing to worry about! She checked in with me at every visit. (Don't forget to put your Rover password into your phone so you can read the check-ins and see the pictures. I wasn't that smart.) The pics are nice and the whole thing was a positive experience. There were no messes when I arrived home. I heartily recommend Janet and will ask for her help myself in the future.”

About: Growing up, my grandma always had a dog, and my family has had a number of dogs throughout the years. The dogs that my family has had ranges from small dogs (<20 lbs) to now two bigger dogs (~80 lbs). I am used to dogs of all kinds of temperaments, and senior dogs hold a special place in my heart! I currently am working part-time, so I can fit in pet care around the days that I do not work. In addition, my schedule is very flexible, especially with drop-in visits. I make sure to update my availability regularly, as well! I’m more than happy to go along with your guidelines on house/ pet sitting. I make sure that I read the guidelines very carefully and will contact you if I have any further questions. I live at home with my mom, so pet care in my home is off the table unfortunately.
“Sophie is the best! She does drop in visits with my dog for me a couple of times a week and is so good with her! She is very reliable and is so nice and such a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend her for any of your needs! We love Sophie!!!”
“Katelyn was amazing with our golden! She sent along many pictures during her visits and you could tell just how much he loved having her there. Katelyn was also very communicative, prompt with visits, and super kind when we met!”
“Marc continues to provide excellent care and a good time for my dogs during their ‘play dates’ with him. They have fun and expend lots of excess energy! I know I can depend on Marc and best of all, that I can trust him with my pets.”
“Liz was dependable and followed all instructions perfectly. She also did a great job with staying in communication throughout her time as our pet sitter and left the pet with a clean and sanitary environment on the last day. We WILL be hiring Liz again! Thanks for everything and well done!”
“Darcy isn’t just amazing with my dog but she’s an amazing person as well. I am always a nervous mama leaving my baby behind when I go places but Darcy’s communication and all her pictures made me feel at ease because I knew she was in good hands. Couldn’t recommend her enough??”
“Our two dogs always look forward for Keeley and Ethen’s visits! We particularly appreciate how responsive and accommodating Keeley and Ethen are. Most recently, our return flight got cancelled. We didn’t have a visit scheduled for that day but we shot Keeley a note and she was there first thing in the morning to take care of our furry babies. It meant a lot to us.”
About: My husband & I have cared for cats & dogs our whole lives. He also have experience with training dogs. We are available 7 days a week. My husband & I are available 7 days a week & most hours to care for your beloved pets! We have had dogs all of our lives! Pet services in your home. Drop ins, walking, stay & play. My husband also is very good at training. We have cared for many dogs & cats.
“I've never hired anyone to look after the cats before. I've always relied on my elderly mother to take care of them while I'm away. The thought of having a stranger in my home while I'm gone made me feel uncomfortable but I wanted piece of mind in knowing that if mom faced any health concerns that the cats would still get care until I return home. Melissa was at the top of the list, on Rover, for people in my area so I read the reviews left by her past clients and decided that she was worth a gamble. Before I went out of town, she came out to meet us and I showed her around the house. She was present at all the times we agreed on and sent a daily note and pictures of them when she could. (They used to be feral and love to hide from strangers.) I hope Melissa is available the next time I go out of town. I'm thoroughly pleased with her service and hope this review helps her to get more clients that may have a situation similar to mine.”
“Carissa took care of our fur babies. We have used her service several times and she is our go to, as she is always consistent and she does a great job. We always feel good knowing she is going to be making sure our little ones are okay. She is also great about sending message and pic updates. We will absolutely use her again.”

Our girl clover gets tons of walks and playtime when we are home! As well as going to doggy daycare once or twice a week! Me or my husband jordan have the ability to help out other families in need because we understand the work/life balance with a puppy/dog!

About: I got a dog when I was 3 years old because me and my siblings were afraid of them. My dog, Max, quickly grew up to be my best friend though. As soon as I learned how to drive I would take him with me everywhere I went and he loved it. My parents often relied on me to give him a bath or to take him on walks. He never liked water so he had to be thoroughly talked through in order to get through his bath. I have always just had dogs around me for as long as I can remember. My mom will have friends that ask me to dogsit for them, or my aunts and uncles ask when they go out of town. I recently lost Max because he was really old so I have been trying to find ways to be around dogs because my parents have so no to getting another one. I’m currently working part time with a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time on my hands to play with your pets. My schedule comes out weekly but is very easy to work around and request days off if needed. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I do have a tie out cable in my backyard for them to still be able to roam free and sniff around. I don’t have any other dogs but my neighbor does have a very friendly dog that likes to come over and visit if your dog wants to have a friend. I have plenty of dog toys depending on which types you prefer for your dog (ik some dogs aren’t very good with stuffed toys). i have 2 dog beds and a water and food bowl but if there is anything your dog prefers to have I can totally take it. I don’t have a crate at the moment but if your dog needs one I can get one.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elkhorn
Robyn was great with Peanut! She had great communication throughout the entire stay and sent me pictures with every visit. I especially appreciated how detailed her Rover Cards were, it was really reassuring knowing exactly how Peanut was doing while I was away. I felt very comfortable having her check in on Peanut and would definitely recommend her and use her again! 🐾💕
Melissa was a great pet sitter for us! She was very prompt & accommodating to our schedule for drop in visits. Our pets really took to her, as I can tell from the daily pictures that she sent. Our pets were very well taken care of. I would highly recommend Melissa, and plan to book with her in the future. Communication was great, and I felt 100% comfortable with my pets in her care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Elkhorn is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 per visit. 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 1,067 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elkhorn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
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.
