About: I once had 13 cats I cared for. I now have a dog and a cat of my own. I enjoy spending time with animals. I can host up to 2 dogs a night in my home. I have a large yard they can play and do their business in. I have a crate they can use if needed or they can sleep on the couch or floor. If you prefer I can come to your home and sit with your animals, I would need to leave a few times a day to come home and care for my own pets. I can administer any needed medications. I have cared for sick animals in the past. Currently can work with my laptop anywhere there is an internet connection. Happy to sit with your pets or stop by for visits several times a day. If they are brought for boarding I can give them breaks as often as needed. I can crate your dog if needed at night. I can walk your dog. I have a large yard for your dog to play in.

About: Hi there! 🐾 I know how much your pets mean to you, because I feel the same way. When I’m with your furry family, they get all the love, snuggles, and attention I’d give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I’ll also send you plenty of updates and cute photos so you never miss a moment. With me, your pets aren’t just looked after—they’re loved like family. Pets are already part of my daily routine thanks to my roommates and family—I’m always surrounded by furry friends. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or just hanging out, I naturally build pet care into my day. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, and it keeps me active, patient, and mindful. Caring for pets outside my home feels like a natural extension of what I already do every day. 🐾❤️ I know how important trust is when it comes to caring for your pet and your home. I take time to get to know each pet at their own pace, follow their usual routine, and keep everything tidy and comfortable. I’ll always respect your house rules, send you daily updates, and treat your pets like family. With me, you can feel confident that both your home and your furry loved ones are in safe, caring hands🐕🐕‍🦺🐩🐈‍⬛🐈

It was reassuring to see our fur-kids doing well. The house was well maintained upon our return. We will be reaching out again to book with Pete.”

About: Professional pet caregiver with lifelong dog and cat experience, plus hands-on experience at Dogtown USA. Reliable, attentive, and will keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable. (If you need plant care I am also your guy!) Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time each day for feeding, providing fresh water, exercise, playtime, and cleaning up after pets. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and always make sure they receive the attention, care, and consistency they need to feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, clean living spaces, and lots of attention and affection. I also keep a close eye on their behavior, follow any special care instructions, and provide regular updates to owners so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have over 10 years of experience caring for pets. I grew up around my family’s dog grooming business, where I’ve helped care for and handle dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I also worked as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic for a year, which gave me even more experience around animals and helped me learn how to recognize their different needs and behaviors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, basic grooming, and giving pets lots of attention and love. Being around animals in both grooming and veterinary settings has taught me how important patience, safety, and making pets feel comfortable are. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll always treat them like they’re my own while they’re in my care! I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to care for and spend time with your pets. I'm a part time server so I work short shifts anf have plenty if free time. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and other pet care needs. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and schedule whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and household rules. With my experience working around animals in a veterinary clinic and my family’s grooming business, I’m comfortable handling pets with different personalities and needs. I’ll always treat your home with respect and your pets with the same care and attention I give my own.

“Roseanna was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She took excellent care of my dogs, my cat, and my home while I was away on vacation. I could tell my fur babies were comfortable and well-loved the entire time. She kept me updated, followed all instructions perfectly, and left the house spotless. It was such a relief knowing everything was in great hands. I would highly recommend Roseanna to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter.”

About: Growing up, I always had a special place in my heart for animals, especially dogs. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience with both large and small breeds including Akitas, Huskies, Boxers, Chihuahuas, and Pomsky mixes. As I got older and moved out on my own, I owned a pitbull who I loved wholeheartedly and sadly lost to cancer in 2024. Since then, I’ve adopted two beautiful American Staffordshire Terriers from the same litter who have filled my home with love again. I truly treat every dog like family. They are welcome on the couches, in the bed, and even in the pool if approved by you! I have a fenced in backyard for safe playtime and lots of room for love, cuddles, and attention. I’m also great with teaching basic commands, keeping routines consistent, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your home with the same care and respect as my own, and you may even come home to a cleaner house than you left! I genuinely love bringing happiness, comfort, and peace of mind to people and their pets. I recently moved to Florida from Buffalo and decided to start pet sitting to help fill my free time doing something that truly makes me happy. As much as I hope to help your dog feel loved and cared for, they help my heart just as much too. I look forward to meeting you and your special pup! I currently have open availability Monday through Sunday, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, love, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending my free time around animals, so your pup will never feel ignored or lonely while in my care. I am very flexible with schedules and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and at home while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a unfenced backyard, but a lot of yard, lots of walking trails and sidewalks, a loving home environment, and experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities as my previous pitbull was very reactive & didn’t get along with other dogs if you have a reactive dog I completely understand! I always follow routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions provided to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

About: I’ve been a veterinary receptionist for a little over 6 years now. I love all animals, and have had multiple different animals since I was a child. I would love to sit for your fur babies. I currently can only do weekends for house sitting because I work at a vet during the day. If you need pet sitting Fridays I can start after I get off work. I may be able to walk some pets during lunches and after work as long as you are close to home. So I guess walks will be case by case. Other wise I’m completely free on weekends. I can only do house sitting at your home because I have two cats of my own and one of them does not like other animals. Plus there are cat toys everywhere lol, but you can count on me to take special care of your loved ones and home while you are away. I am reliable and will leave your home exactly how you left it. Your pets will get showered with lots of love and play time. You can count on me to take care of their every need. Plus it doesn’t hurt that I work at a vet.

About: I am a single mom of a 20 old daughter who thinks she is a dog whisper and has never met a dog she doesn’t love. We love all types of dogs. I work full time and get home around 6pm. I am off every weekend and looking to earn some extra income. I am very honest and dependable. I’ve always had some type of animal in my life. I have a black mouth cur mix at home named Emory as well as a cat named Whiskey. Emory loves playing with other dogs and whiskey doesn’t mind them if they don’t mind him. I have experience with a wide range of dog breeds. I look forward to meeting and caring for your fur baby and or babies!! I work full time, but have open availability on the weekends. I usually enjoy going out for walks and taking advantage of the fresh air so figured why not make a little extra income and provide love and care for your fur baby at the same time! I do live in an apartment complex but I can still provide leashed walks or available to take them to the dog park if permitted!

FAQs for House Sitting - Elkton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,017 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Elkton. 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 Elkton 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 Elkton 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 Elkton 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elkton. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
