“Alana B did a fantastic job with Philip. I like the special touches that she did - and that she followed his schedule to a T... I love the fact that I didn't have to worry that he was being taken care of... She sent photos and report card each visit... Thank You...”
“Marisa and Jonathan are awesome caretakers and go above and beyond your instructions. You get a lot of photos of your dogs and their report cards are thorough. I really appreciate the care they took of my dogs while I was away! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Alexis is a true professional! She loves animals and it shows! She took great care of my dogs, and went above and beyond any of my expectations. My husband and I were grateful to be able to leave for the weekend with the peace of mind that our dogs were in good hands! Thank you Alexis! Highly recommend!”
“Sarah was so friendly when we met her prior to our trip. She sent us great notes and pictures during each visit. I would highly recommend and I plan to use her again in the future!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all of my life. They’re my favorite, but I love all animals! I have a lot of experience and love! I currently work full-time, but I’m able to walk in the evenings and take care of animals as well. I have 3 day weekends off too! I have a spoiled dog! We have a fenced yard, and I take the best care of her! I would provide the same care for any other pet too!
“Melissa was very thoughtful in her care of Dexter. He can be very particular, but she went out of her way to make sure that he was comfortable with her. Will book with her again in the future!”
About: Hello! I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I love animals. I have been trying to find something to earn a bit of extra income to help pay for a new porch and pay off huge medical debt from cancer and a bone marrow transplant and thought I might as well get to see adorable dogs in the process. I am off for the summer as my normal 9-5 is teaching 7th graders Life Science. I’ve been doing that for 21 years. I figure if I can wrangle 180 7th graders well enough to be the Nevada Teacher of the Year and a national award winner then I can apply those same principals and wrangle your animals. I am dog and cat cpr trained. I work M- Th teaching and am home F-Su. The only reason I don’t watch animals at my home is I have two dogs, a Japanese Chin named Tonks and a Boston Terrier named Cronk and I don’t want your animal to have to get used to them and stress out more. I also don’t have a fenced in yard. My boys are not runners so there isn’t a need to have one. If you would like me to watch your animal in my home please know, I don’t have the best home or the typical Elko/Spring Creek gorgeous places. I lost everything to cancer and now I’ve in what I could pay off that couldn’t be taken from me: a double wide home on land in spring creek. If your okay with that then your fur baby is more than welcome to come hang with us. I will care for your pets the way you would like me to. I will stick to your schedule with feeding and potty and walking routines. I will do whatever you need me to do to keep your pet happy.
“I reached out to Lilli with a super last minute request to check in on my kitty while on vacation, and she was fantastic and so flexible. My cat loved her and she took great care of him. I think she went above and beyond! Will book again and highly recommend!”
“Jasmine did a great job on her doggy visit yesterday. She sent me videos of how my pup was doing and everything that she did she logged in the app. Pretty satisfied with her and booked her for other days and dog boarding for a week I'll be traveling.”
About: My wife and I truly enjoy animals and are dedicated to ensuring they are well cared for. Proverbs 12:10 says, "The righteous care for the needs of their animals..." and we take this to heart. Aside from asking our dogs "who's a good boy?", we love engaging in playtime, fetch, and going for runs and hikes with them. Choose me for a pawsitively purrfect pet care experience where your pet's happiness and health are our utmost priority! I work as a team with my wife who is a homemaker, so we can adapt to meet most any schedule needs. I personally work a Monday - Thursday schedule, from 6am - 4pm. In our home, we offer a variety of secure and pet-friendly spaces. We have a small fenced area for safe outdoor play, a large kennel for cozy rest, and we have both a primary house and a mother-in-law house that can be used for pet care. Additionally, we have open acreage available for supervised exploration and exercise, providing plenty of space for pets to run and play. When caring for pets in client's homes, we follow their established routines and environments to ensure pets feel comfortable.
“Richelle took wonderful care of my cat Moose! She definitely pays attention to the little details and you can tell she truly cares for the well-being of your pet. Would 100% book with her again!”
About: My parents raised Rottweiler when I was growing up, I've always had a dog beside me my whole life. I love animals so much they truly our peace. I am available for my pets and always have time for my fluffy friends making sure they come first because they can't do it themselves. I have lived in Teller county. Colorado since 3rd grade. I'm a very trustworthy person and I have had a backgrounds checks done for pervious jobs that were required. I love animals and plants I would love to be apart of your fluffy friends life. I am also certified in cat and dog CPR with American Red Cross.
About: My first job was to walk a neighbors dog who could no longer do it herself. I have had dogs for most of my life and they are amazing. I currently only accept being able to do drop in visits and walks. I have 2 kids that will be with me but they know to leave cats or dogs until they are comfortable with them. I give all animals the attention and time they need. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have a pretty flexible schedule that I am available to help get dogs and cats the attention that they need while your away. I will keep the pets as comfortable with me as I can. I plan on allowing dogs to get their walks in that they need and for their energy to be let out. I also know cats all have unique personalities and I would adjust how I would interact with them accordingly.
About: Grew up with teacup chihuahuas and came to own large dogs and a cat! I am experienced with all age animals. I am even experienced in reptile care! I took vet tech courses in high school, so I have basic knowledge of animal/breed health problems. I am completely open! I am currently painting to occupy time, otherwise taking care of your pets is my top priority. I can be flexible with all needs! I care and treat animals with love and respect. Although my pets are fully trained and I trust them, they are wild animals. I am knowledgeable about their body language, so I can respect their boundaries and space. I know these are your babies, and they will get just as much love from me as you give them. Same goes for your home!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elko
Alexis was absolutely wonderful! She took exceptional care of my three cats while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly treated my cats like they were her own. I really appreciated the updates and knowing they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was traveling. I came home to three happy kitties and everything was just as I left it. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter, and I would absolutely trust Alexis again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and professional to care for their pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Elko on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 19 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elko. 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 Elko 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
