About: I’ve worked for a doggy day care and boarding facility. I also have owned pups my entire life. I love pups and would love to take care of yours! I am available anytime to play with and care for your pups! I can work around any schedule 7 days a week. Whatever is convenient for you just let me know. I have 2 pup friendly fur babies if your pups would like to play with them. If not my pups are well crate trained and I have an extra room if needed for my pups to go into!
“Andrenette was amazing! Very communicative, brought treats and left gifts for my cats!! We really appreciate her love of animals and the great attention she had for our stray outdoor cats!!!”
“April is wonderful. She quickly won over my rescue who is anxious and very wary of new people. It is clear that April understands and loves dogs. I find her regular updates very helpful and reassuring. I appreciate the attention she gives my dogs during her visits, taking the time to sit with them and pet them, and that she monitors them when they are outside for bathroom breaks. I love coming home to happy dogs and peace of mind. Highly recommend April!”
“Amy was great checking in on my pup, and I love that she was just as responsive as when I booked her for daycare. She sent me photo updates which I loved! I can tell she and her kids really love spending time with Lilo which is so comforting.”
“I can’t thank Adel enough for taking care of Duke. The pictures of Duke during each visit gave me piece of mind so we could enjoy our trip. I highly recommend Adel and Julia!!!”
“Fran is great! She cared for our 4 pups with the utmost care and respect. She updated me as soon as she arrived. She sent me photos and gave me behavioral updates. Fran followed our directions for feeding, training and special care for our dogs. Fran also gave me an update as she was leaving to let me know how the visit went. Our dogs seem to really enjoy her company. When I arrived home, I could tell how appreciative our dogs were for Fran’s visit. They were quiet, calm, and acted like they had a fun day while I was at work. Fran is a kind, reliable, and honest animal sitter! Thank you so much, Fran”
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!
“Tierra is one of the best sitters I've had! Not only did she send me video updates, plenty of pictures and even phone calls to ease my mind about my babies, she kept my floor clean from muddy paws and sent me hilarious pictures of the cats watching her. I will absolutely book again because my dogs were extremely spoiled while I was on vacation. They had a vacation too! Highly recommended as your pets will be well cared for as if they were her own. I'm about to cry because my dogs were extremely happy when I came back home and quiet, so I know all of their needs and wants were met daily. Just as I would care for my own pets. Thank you so much! One of the best rover sitters ever!!”
About: I bathe dogs. Feed daily. Go potty daily. And of course, cuddles daily! I am the pet whisperer. All pets need cuddles I think lol. My schedule mostly stays the same but there might be a day that I have an appointment or a test I need to take for night school! But with that, I always come home and take care of my babies! Treat them as you would treat your own. Everybody is someone’s baby! Feed daily and bathe when needed. Potty more than 3 times a day. And lots of love!
About: Animals have always been a part of my life, I was raised on a farm, where caring for a wide variety of animals became second nature. That background gives me a strong sense of responsibility and an instinct for understanding each pet’s unique personality. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets and focus on keeping them safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, which means I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins starting at 4:30 PM during the week. I am completely free on weekdays. If you’re looking for more extended care, I also offer house sitting and can often work remotely on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends, allowing me to spend more consistent time with your pets. I aim to be flexible and communicative, so we can find a schedule that works best for both you and your pets’ needs! I tailor my care to each pet and service. In your home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free, including feeding, walks, and plenty of attention. In my own home, I provide a safe, calm environment with close supervision and consistent care. I also have personal experience with shy pets, I adopted my cat Athena at 4 months old from the Memphis Animal Shelter. She was very skittish and required a lot of patience, understanding her needs, and respecting her space when she wanted to be left alone. She is now 8 years old and thriving, and that experience has taught me how to read behavior and adjust care to each animal’s comfort level. No matter the setting, my goal is to keep your pet happy, secure, and well cared for!
About: I have years of experience with dogs of many breeds. I can care for your dogs safely at your home. Feel secure when you travel. I'm new to the Memphis area and looking to meet nice families who need help with their dogs. I can walk or play with them as well as sit when you're away. I can stay at your home or travel back and forth daily whichever you prefer. I have a flexible schedule and prefer medium and large dogs.
About: I’ve had animals all my life and have been caring for dogs and horses for the past 6 years. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently working toward a career in veterinary medicine, so caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy it’s my passion. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break from college and working a part-time job, so pet sitting is a great way for me to spend more time doing something I truly enjoy caring for animals. My work schedule is Thursday through Saturday, and I’m available after I get off work on those days. I’m also available on my days off and will do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. I believe in keeping pet parents updated and making sure every pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore, as well as three friendly small dogs who are well-socialized and can provide companionship if your pet enjoys being around other dogs. For drop-in visits, I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I’ll always respect your home, carefully follow your pet’s routine, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family and provide the attention, patience, and care they deserve.
About: I’ve had and cared for animals my entire life. I’ve also worked at pet stores and humane societies. There is no better way to spend your time than being surrounded by animals. I care for animals because being a portable pooper scooper and a human chew toy aren’t considered real jobs. Let me know what your needs are and we’ll work together to make sure that your babies are taken care of when you can’t be home with them. I will always show the utmost respect to your pet and your home. This includes cleaning up after myself and your pet during our time together, removing my shoes before entering your home if you would like, and anything else that will make you comfortable with the arrangement.
About: For 5 years I took care of the owners 3 dogs and their house back in my home town until I moved to Central Arkansas to further my career. I graduated from Central Baptist College in conway where i played basketball for their women's program and studied in the Kinesiology field to become an Occupational Therapist. I also have an associated degree in Pre Physical Therapy. I am working in child care and trying to save money for Grad. School. I have always had a love for dogs and it breaks my heart that i cant afford one at my apartment complex. So it would be the highlight of my day to come play, walk, and fed your fur babies! I am working M-F and completely free on weekends. I typically get home from work at 4pm, so if you need some care for nights during the week i can do that. I am open to anytime on the weekends Get down on the pet’s level and interact with them. Reassure my client that i’ll attend to and care for their cat or dog in the best possible manner. While also keeping in mind the fact that leaving a pet at home can be stressful for both the pet and pet parent.
About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since I was 16. I am capable of giving medicine, staying overnights, and anything else needed! I love pet sitting, as it connects me with so many new animals I currently work part time at Sally Beauty, but my shifts are usually close to five hours. I will take the necessary time off if needed for your fur babies! I have two big dogs at home, who play safely in a fenced in yard. I keep an eye on them every time they are outside, and sometimes I’ll even sit outside with them when it’s nice out, just like I do with my clients dogs

Desiree was absolutely amazing! I have never used a pet sitter before and was very stressed prior to meeting her but once I did, I felt completely at ease with leaving my animals in her care. She kept me updated every visit and sent lots of pictures. She asked questions to make sure my animals had the best care possible and she even took care of our trash! I would only feel comfortable leaving them in her care again. Truly a great pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ellendale is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $24 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 726 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ellendale. 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
