“Allison dropped in on our 2 cats while we were gone for 2 weeks on our honeymoon and we had no issues at all and felt very comfortable to leave it all to her. She was very attentive to our cats and very responsive to any messages we needed to send. We would very much recommend her to anyone needing a cat drop in visit and look forward to booking with her again!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for family, neighbors and friends since I was 12. I have tons of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes! I work full time Mon.-Fri. However, I work hybrid so I can adjust my in office days around your pet. Also, my husband works from home incase your pet needs more attention while I’m away. Free on the weekends! I have a fenced in backyard with full privacy. I have 2 Pomeranians who love other pets but can be separated if necessary, they have their own room.

About: Dogs have been a big part of my life for years, and I have 8 years of pet care experience. As a longtime dog owner, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I know how important patience, consistency, and attention are to keeping them happy and safe. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, company while you’re away, or some extra TLC, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’m excited to meet local pups and help give their people peace of mind! I have a flexible schedule and am looking forward to caring for pets in my local community. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting based on availability. I’m happy to communicate with you ahead of time to make sure your pet’s routine is maintained and their needs are met. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I follow your care instructions closely, respect your home, and make sure pets have fresh water, a safe environment, and plenty of attention. I’ll keep you updated during visits and walks so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I always want you to feel comfortable trusting me with a member of your family.
About: I will do whatever you need for cat or dog care. I have longer time with cats but I will care for your puppy or dog needs :) I love treating all pets like family . I currently have one cat and I’ve had him for over four years. I’m available Monday-fridays . I’m available weekends too with early scheduling :). I would prefer over night sittings in my home but I’m willing to provided whatever care is best for you . I live in an apartment in a quiet neighborhood. Will have your baby with me and safe at all times. Not fenced , but is open spaced.
About: **Hablo español!** I am a huge animal lover with lots of pet care experience! I grew up with pets and have had a few of my own in my adulthood. Sadly, my senior pup, Ruth, recently passed away at around 13 years old. I miss her presence and am hoping to fill my extra time with caring for other people’s pets. I am familiar with pet medication administration and senior pet care. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I am a lawyer with my own business, so I do not work a traditional 9 to 5 and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide pet care during the week and on weekends! I am responsible and detail-oriented. Since I have these traits, I will always pay strict attention to your instructions for your pet and be respectful of your home.

“Randi was awesome! I don’t often leave my dog so I was fairly nervous to use a stranger. However, she came by while I was here to meet my dog, and watching her with him immediately put me at ease. We have already booked another session with her!”

“Amy is very reliable and responsive. She sends daily updates and photos which gave me so much peace in mind knowing my cat was in good hands. I highly recommend her and would book her again.”


About: I’ve had pets nearly my whole life and have been known to struggle to walk past an animal in need. This means rescuing an injured squirrel, a Cooper’s hawk, an opossum, and more, going the extra mile even when it was deeply inconvenient for me to do so. I also grew up attending zoo camp and then volunteering at a zoo from age 5 to 14, caring for a wide range of animals. I have worked with high energy pitties, a blind and anxious German shepherd, birds, cuddly kitties, fearful kitties, diabetic kitties, rabbits, and others. I have administered shots, IVs, medications, eye drops, and more. I am persistent and typically can win over even the shyest and most anxious fur baby. I have a genuine love for caring for pets and would be honored to care for yours! I am currently carefully thinking about my next full time role and working part time. My partner is an immigrant seeking employment during a time when that is extremely difficult due to the political situation. Any supplemental income is incredibly helpful for me as we navigate. I have a reliable vehicle, plenty of time to play with your pets, and love to love on them. I have a reliable car and I keep my word. I am communicative, honest, and truly love animals. I take direction well and understand that every pet has their specific needs. I don’t cut corners and do my best to provide top notch care, always.
“I reached out to Bianca after our long-time sitter decided to switch careers. Bianca is thoughtful and communicative. She asked great questions during the initial meet and greet and kept me updated on how my boys were doing throughout my trip. I will definitely be reaching out to her for my next trip.”

About: I absolutely love all dogs! I currently have a jack russell/dachshund mix named Lucas and a franchise named Nora. I have also owned labs, golden-doodles, cocker spaniels and lots of mix breeds. All that being said, I'm comfortable with all types of dogs and energy levels. I also have a very flexible schedule so I am available most of the time to care for your animals. I've had multiple animals stay when their owners are on vacation and love to take them walking/adventuring wherever I go. Dogs are like family and I would love the opportunity to walk/pet sit yours. I also am comfortable meeting you beforehand so you can see if I would be a good fit for your dog! Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to meeting you. I currently work as a remote LPC (therapist) and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule so I can prioritize walking and checking in on your pets throughout the day. I will follow the instructions you have for taking care of your dog. I also work from home so I can spend time with them without having to rush to the office.
About: My partner and I bring over 10 years of dog care experience and 5+ years managing a stable multi-dog group. We carefully watch body language, work to prevent issues early, and keep feeding routines steady so each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. We’re comfortable working with multi-dog households, different energy levels, and group dynamics. Our focus is creating a safe, structured, and positive environment where dogs can socialize, play, and settle comfortably. My specialty is organization and structure, my partner specializes in socialization and behavioral management. Pet care is part of our daily life. Someone is home throughout the day. We organize our schedule around the dogs in our care so they receive consistent supervision, play, and individual attention. We have a fenced backyard and fenced front yard, giving dogs safe space to move, explore, and play. Inside we provide a dedicated dog room and crates for dogs of all sizes, creating a comfortable and secure place for them to rest when needed. Dogs are thoughtfully grouped by temperament, with attention to proper rest rotation and consistent feeding routines to support balance and comfort. Whether in our home or a client’s home, we focus on safety, supervision, and each dog’s individual needs. We follow established routines, maintain a steady and secure environment, and make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease.

“We had a great experience with Marina! She is reliable, caring, and wonderful with our dog. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we work such long hours. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”


About: Hi there! My name is Courtney and I’m a lifelong dog lover and very reliable weekday walker local to Richmond. Looking forward to pup walks! I am a full-time administrative worker so I am happy to walk dogs from 4 to 9 PM weekdays. Please feel free to reach out. I am a pet owner myself, so I truly understand how important it is to have someone you can trust care for your furry companion.
“McKenzie did an amazing job caring for Leo while I was away. The timely communication and follow up was top notch and kept me at ease knowing he was being taken care of in absence.”

“Danielle did an AMAZING JOB! We have a very large dog (Hera a mastif Rhodesian ridgback mix) who is slow to trust people. Hera can be very scary when anxious. Danielle watched Hera for a week. She did an fantastic job getting Hera to trust her. With in the first few days Hera went from anxious/barking/growling to trusting and calm. By far she is the best dogs sitter we have had in the Hopewell/Prince George area.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Elko is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 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 November 2026, there are 2,600 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elko. 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 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 Elko. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
