About: I’ve owned cats my whole life and been around dogs just as much! I love all animals as if they’re my own and just can’t get enough of those little furry faces. I’ve cared for young and senior cats. As well as sick cats. I’ve house sat and pet sat dogs multiple times before and am not shy to do it again! Please trust me with your babies, I promise to do my best to fill your shoes when you aren’t home <3 I am currently an open schedule! I can drop in to check on your pets from 8am-6pm. My schedule is very flexible so don’t worry if you need me to drop by earlier or later, it can all be discussed! I am ultra cautious about closed and locked doors and tend to check on my pets every other hour to make sure all is well. I love to play with my cats during the day so that they can get a good nights rest! I feed my own pets on a schedule every day, with the exception of a few treats, of course. 🤭

“This was our first time having someone stay to watch our three standard poodles. I was nervous when picking someone. I read reviews and decided Robert was the one. I hope my review can help others find someone like Robert for their dogs. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. We felt so comfortable with Robert. He stayed at our house and took great care of our dogs. He took them on walks and sent me super sweet pictures. We will definitely be using him again.”

About: I have experience caring for cats, dogs, and geckos. I absolutely love animals of all kinds and enjoy spending time with them. I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, affection, patience, and care while respecting their individual needs and personalities. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved! I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I attend classes on Monday evenings and Thursday mornings, but outside of those commitments, I spend time working on homework and have a fairly open schedule. This gives me plenty of opportunities to accommodate your pet's routine, provide attentive care, enjoy playtime, and make sure they never feel neglected while you're away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I maintain a clean, safe environment, follow all care instructions, respect household rules, and ensure pets receive proper supervision, attention, and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in loving and reliable hands.

“This was our longest trip away yet. Jaymes and Jude house/dogsat for us for 17 days! We came home to a clean house and a happy. Jaymes always treats our home with so much respect and our dog has so much fun that after the initial excitement to see us, she always seems a little disappointed that its us. Jaymes is our first choice for sitting and we cannot more highly recommend him!”

About: I’ve had an assortment of pets my whole life, and was a groomer for several years. I’ve worked with pets big and small, from the greatest of Danes and even creepy crawlies! I love working with animals and have nothing to do but snuggle pets in my spare time! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to help accommodate you in any way I can! I want to bring comfort to your pets while you have to be away! As a fur mom of a couple of “Velcro” dogs myself, I know how sad they can be without us! I really love to chat with them while I am there!

“Akilah went above and beyond. She helped me out when another sitter cancelled last second. My dog and cat loved her as soon as they met her. She sent me photos and videos while I was away. She even took out the trash and washed the sheets in the room she was staying in!! Will definitely use her again.”

“This was the first time using Rover services after years of boarding our dogs. Our sitter Anna Wells made this experience exceptional. She went over and above our expectations! Anna has such a way with animals that my rescue (puppy mill) dogs were calm and took to her quickly. If this level of service is the norm, I will never board again.”

About: I have loved animals since I was a young child. I love caring for dogs and also the flexibility to travel, so I do not have a pup of my own. I started dog sitting in high school and college while on breaks from school and it brings me so much joy to care for everyone's pups. I work full-time in a physical therapy clinic, so I am typically able to run home during my lunch break if dogs are in need of a restroom break. I am always excited to spend time with animals in any way possible! Sometimes this looks like stopping at someone's house on the way home from work if they need walked, staying in their home, or their dog(s) staying with me. I do not have any pets of my own, so if your dog does not get along well with other dogs they will be comfortable in my home. I have a roommate who also loves dogs but does not have any pets. If your dog(s) love others, we can enjoy walks and dog parks and play dates with others! I am very careful when entering and residing in others homes, and try to make sure the environment is the same or cleaner than I left it.

About: I have an amazing dog park on my rooftop that will allow your fur babies to socialize/play as much as their hearts desire! I know pet parents are looking for somewhere fun yet safe for their children to be housed while away and not have a single care in the world. I work fully remote so I will be with your fur babies majority of the time. As I work remote, I enjoy getting away from the desk, getting some of that fresh New York air, and I’ll make sure to take your pups along with me. In my home, your pets will roam freely as they please. I take a chance to get away from the desk any time I need and I will surely bring your fur baby along with me.

About: I provide reliable, loving care, keep owners updated with photos, and take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs. With a fenced-in yard and a flexible schedule for walks and drop-ins, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for🐾 Pet care fits well into my routine. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but I am able to come home during my lunch break for potty breaks, feeding, and check-ins when needed. I’m available before and after work, as well as evenings and weekends, to provide walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m committed to making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away!! I have a fenced-in backyard that provides a safe space for pets to enjoy some outdoor time, and I always prioritize supervision and safety. I treat every pet like they are my own and take the time to learn their personality, needs, and comfort level. I also love sending photo updates so owners can feel connected and confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away ❤️

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 13 years and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a lifelong dog owner, I’ve cared for both energetic pups and senior dogs who required extra patience, compassion, and attentive care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part-time as a bartender, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable care for your pets. Whether your dog is staying overnight, coming for daycare, or just needs a walk or drop-in visit, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and love. I live in the Raleigh, Memphis area, making it convenient for local families. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and any special scheduling needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, smoke-free, calm, and pet-friendly, with a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play. I also live near several parks and walking trails, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. I have a friendly, social cat who gets along well with other animals and can be comfortably kept anway and completely separated if needed. I also have a sweet, laid-back, crate-trained 7-year-old Chihuahua who enjoys playing with visiting dogs of all sizes and has a gentle temperament. With over 13 years of experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs and those with disabilities, anxiety, and special needs, I understand that every pet is unique. My professional background as a therapist has strengthened my patience, observation skills, and ability to remain calm and attentive, helping me recognize changes in behavior and provide compassionate, individualized care. I’m comfortable administering medications, providing baths and light grooming if requested, and carefully following your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions. Pets are welcome on the furniture, and you’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and treated like one of my own.

About: As early as 8 years old, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. From taking in and caring for outside cats to helping raise and care for puppies through their senior years, animals have always been a meaningful part of my life. I’ve helped with the everyday care that keeps pets happy and healthy, including walking, potty breaks, bathing, flea care, giving medications, feeding, and keeping up with their routines. One of my favorite parts of caring for animals is building trust with them. I naturally speak to animals gently and patiently, especially when guiding, correcting, or rewarding them. I believe pets respond best when they feel safe, understood, and respected. Whether your angel is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, elderly and needing extra patience, or simply attached to their normal routine, I want them to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy the maintenance and little details of pet care—not just the fun parts. I’m happy to keep up with potty breaks, walks, feeding schedules, medications, baths, cleanliness, and whatever routine helps your pet feel at home. My goal is for your pet to receive the same patience, affection, and gentle guidance I would want for my own. 🐾❤️ Your angel is in good hands with me! It’s daily As someone who loves to take care of animals and give out affection, I see pet sitting more as a bond, then just simply a job They are provided with the same care that they will receive from their loving parents, think of it more of spending the night with their favorite aunt!

“Jennifer was a fantastic house sitter for an 11 day stay for my 2 large dogs and 2 cats. This was an emergency, and so I had to book her with only 2 days notice. She came to meet with me and the animals before, and very quickly learned the routines for walking, feeding, and caring for the animals and the household. Everything was fantastic during her stay and she had excellent communication and tons of pictures. She's also kind of a neat freak, and left the house cleaner than when I left it!! I know my animals were well cared for, and would definitely have her back. 10/10 - and I would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a house sitter!”

Our dog Carmen loved his weekend with Eliza. She was prompt in arriving, kept us informed, played ball with him until he wore himself out and he fell asleep on his blanket. Eliza was very respectful of our home and even cleaned my shower when I ran out of time with back to back traveling. We appreciate her care for our pet and will definitely book with her again. Thanks again Eliza!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ellendale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Ellendale is $29 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $47 per night. 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 454 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ellendale. 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 Ellendale 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 Ellendale 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 Ellendale 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 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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
