“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.”

“Marc was exactly what we needed! As soon as Bailey saw him, she connected with him and it was such a heartwarming moment for me. Marc was gentle, but confident, attentive, while allowing Bailey to feel her way through our first meeting. And Marc helped put me at ease as well. All in all, it was a very positive experience. I’m grateful to have found Marc and will definitely be using him in the future.”
About: Experienced with puppies and senior pets. I provide calm, reliable care, follow routines closely, and ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits into my routine by scheduling time for feeding, walks, and visits. I stay organized with my full-time job and flexible to ensure each pet gets consistent, reliable care. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, water, walks, and play. I follow owner instructions, give care and attention, and keep the home clean as possible.
“Robyn was amazing with our dog! She made going out of a town stress free knowing our dog was well taken care of. She sent us photos and updates and was very respectful of our home. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Janet did a phenomenal job making sure my Stormy had the proper care and company while I was out for a week. She provided updates and pictures every day to make sure I knew Stormy was doing well. Janet also knew to ask questions over care items I spaced out on providing, so she’s very detail oriented! I’d recommend her care to anyone I know in need of good care for their pets!”
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.
“Haeli took excellent care of our yellow lab while we were out of town. She was very respectful of our home and was prompt for each visit. She was easy to communicate with and responded in a timely manner. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have been a dog own for almost 30 years. From puppies to seniors, small to large, I love them all! While you are away, I want to give your best friend the same love and attention that you would give them. I work full-time during the week, but have plenty of time on the weekends. My daughter is off at college so I have all the time in the world on the weekend to hang out with your pup. I am happy to spend the night if that is what works for you. I can stop in multiple times per day and I am willing to stay the night with your pup if that something that you would like
“Sophie is our go too when we are out of town. She is great at communicating and flexible. Always keeps the house tidy and follows instructions to a tee! Dependable and prompt! Birdie and Pickles.”
About: We have five dogs of our own and we foster dogs as well. I grew up with many dogs and cats. I am comfortable working with newborn puppies up to senior pups. We have taken care of litters in our home. We loved and cared for our fur baby Zeke, our first child, until he was 17. I am comfortable with nervous dogs, excitable dogs, and everything in between. Our youngest dog, George, completed his therapy dog training in the spring. I look forward to working with him at hospitals and nursing homes in the community. I believe dog hair is an accessory that goes with everything. Your fur family member will be treated like one of my own! I am available during the school day Monday through Friday. I can do up to 2 visits a day - near 8am and around 1:30pm. We have crate trained our fosters and resident dogs, so I'm comfortable with that if it's your dog's routine. I believe in positive reinforcement! I will only give treats if provided so I can make sure they are safe for your dog and their specific nutrition needs.
“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!”
“Patrick and Jillian were fantastic. They took excellent care of my dog while I was away and sent consistent updates. They really went above and beyond. Thank you so much!”

Robyn has been wonderful with our dogs. One of our dogs is blind and requires injections and she is extremely caring and compassionate with him. Our other one is super needy and wants all the attention, which Robyn always gives her. I would recommend Robyn to everyone!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Elkhorn on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,084 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elkhorn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Elkhorn 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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elkhorn. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
