“Anna was great! She communicated above and beyond what we expected and sent tons of pictures. We were able to rest assured our animals were in good hands and being looked after with great care. I would definitely recommend Anna and will definitely look to use her again in the future!”
“Melissa was such a blessing! She took the best care of our sweet Lucy. I knew Lucy was comfortable and in great hands because she ate her food everyday and usually she skips days because she’s anxious when we’re gone. Melissa sent wonderful daily updates and photos, too.”
“Dawn is absolutely amazing! She took great care of our girls, sent us photos and updates the whole time. Our corgis loved her and I think were sad we came home! We would highly recommend Dawn for any pet sitting.”
“Jasmin was great! She is very responsible and took great care of my dogs. She also sent us pictures and kept us updated every day. I would definitely recommend her and I plan to use her again!”
“I literally can’t say enough about Heather. I had to go to CA for a doctor’s appt and had to be gone for a week and right before I left, my dog became really sick and needed IV for 3 days. Heather didn’t hesitate. She went above and beyond and took Maggie to the vet to make sure she got exactly the care that she needed. I wouldn’t have left my dog period, but I had that much faith in Heather and the doctor’s appt was beyond a need for me.”
“Lauren was awesome! Would definitely recommend. Our Molly really seemed to enjoy hanging out with Lauren and even made a new friend with Lauren's dog. She was professional and stayed in touch providing pictures and video.”
“Lorelei showed up on time and took great care of Blu even with issues getting into my house (my fault/mistake). We figured it out together and I appreciate her sticking through the issue. She provided pictures and monitored her bowel movements to make sure she went.!”
“Tim is awesome! I’ve used many sitters through Rover and Tim is the best! This is the 2nd time he has watched my 4 dogs and chickens at my house. He feeds them and spends a great deal of time with them. He also goes above and beyond by sweeping my floors and washing the bedding in my guest bedroom he slept in. It’s nice going on vacation and not having to worry. It’s also great coming home from vacation to happy dogs and a clean house.”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals so pet care has always come naturally to me. From an early age, I’ve help walk feed and care for dogs and cats of all ages. I understand each animal has their own routine and personality. So, I take the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of free time to give your furry baby! Im available for walks, drop-in visits and overnight care throughout the week. I can also easily adjust my schedule to meet your pets routine. I strive to create a safe and loving environment in your home for your furry family while you are away. Whether they enjoy playing, going for walks or just lounging around I try to follow routine as closely as possible to help them feel secure. I can provide regular updates and photos so you can have a peace of mind that your pet is in safe care.
About: Ready to give your pets the best vacay possible? All animals deserve the best love and care and when you’re not there I’m the one to give it! I have experience with the puppies, senior, and sick animals. I have plenty of time to give the needed care to your furbabies! I am available for walks, playtime, or anything they might need. I also have a dog that will make yours feel comfortable. I am very attentive and watch for signs of what they are needing whether it be a walk or needing a small treat! I have a fenced in back yard that you dog can run and play
About: My first dog was a senior rescue terrified of humans and dogs, and my current dog is a hyper mega-loving Coonhound! You can say I've had very different experiences lol! I've had experience administering medication for my own dogs as well as others. I was able to crate train my then 9 year old dog! My 2 year old dog is responding well to training, and has never met a soul she didn't love. I'm a freelance photographer so my schedule is very flexible! I work from home mostly, but I also rent a studio in Savannah- so sometimes I'll pop in for a shoot! My projects usually vary from 1-3 gigs a month. Happy to give lots of cuddles and attention! My own dog whines when she's not given love 😂 I can also crate when needed or we can work together with my laptop! I love walks and we can play fetch in the backyard if needed! Also happy to do any basic chores needed like emptying your dishwasher or vacuuming!
About: For over 40 years I have loved and cared for my dogs and the dogs of family and friends. I see them as a part of the family. I would provide care, attention, play, treats (if allowed), and medication (if needed). My home has a fenced yard, pet beds, and toys. We live near a city park that circles a lake and near a dog park. I am happy to accommodate any special needs, diets, and/or instructions. I know the stress of finding the right pet sitter. Since I know how it is to leave my dogs home, I am happy to provide frequent updates while you are away. Your pets will be happy when you return, but they will also thank you for leaving them in my care.
About: I’ve cared for pets for friends, family, and others, including feeding, walks, playtime, and overnight care. I’m used to following specific instructions and keeping pets on their normal routine. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, small birds, and bunnies. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and always aim to create a calm, safe environment for every pet. I’m open to taking bookings off of Rover if you want to avoid any fees and make booking easier! :) I’m a full time pet sitter who offers more than just overnight stays. I am available for early morning or late-night care as well. I’m open to last minute bookings as long as my schedule allows! :) I love caring for your pets as if they were my own. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medications if needed! I love to make sure your pet is still on there normal routine if they have one, so always let me know any specific instructions.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ellabell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 583 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ellabell. 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 Ellabell 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 Ellabell 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.
Tip: 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 Ellabell 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.

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.
