“Lindsey was amazing with my dog! She always made sure my girl was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. She went above and beyond every single visit and kept me updated with messages and photos so I always knew how she was doing. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I highly recommend Lindsey and will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have been working at boarding facilities, vet clinics,rescues and animal shelters since I was 16 and am currently working on getting licensed to be a vet tech. I have done both shelter work and TNR. I have handled countless scared, aggressive, anxious, rambunctious animals as well as disabled and medicated babies so I have plenty experience with handling animals of all kinds! This is my passion; I do my best to provide the best care that I can for your pet! I am trained on animal behavior and medical care. I have plenty experience with elderly animals and pets with health concerns. Anything else you'd like to know I'd be happy to answer any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of spare time to spend with your baby! I am usually naturally an early riser and a bit of a night owl so I am prepared for lots of different schedules and routines. I follow each animals' schedule to the T if possible. As well as providing treats and enrichment throughout the entire visit! I also make sure to give them lots of attention and accommodate any sleeping arrangements your animals are used to.

About: Welcome! My name is Jah, and I’m passionate about providing top-notch care for dogs. With years of experience as a dedicated dog lover and caretaker, I understand the unique needs and personalities of each furry friend. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just some extra love and attention, I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to ensure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and compassionate. Rest assured, your dog will be in good hands, receiving the best care possible. Thank you for trusting me to care for your beloved pet. I look forward to meeting you and your dog soon!

I look forward in having the opportunity meeting your furry friend. As a pet caregiver, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets, whether in my home or in the client’s home. Here’s how I approach caring for pets in both settings: In My Home: • Comfortable Accommodations: I ensure that pets have a designated space to relax and sleep, free from hazards and in a quiet area. • Routine & Consistency: I try to maintain the pet’s regular schedule for feeding, walking, and playtime, making the transition from their own home to mine as smooth as possible. • Exercise & Enrichment: I provide regular walks and playtime in nearby parks. • Supervision & Safety: Pets are never left unattended for long periods. I pet-proof my home to eliminate any potential dangers like toxic plants or loose wires. • Cleanliness & Hygiene: Regular cleaning is a priority to ensure a fresh, hygienic space for pets. This includes keeping their living areas clean, providing fresh water, and ensuring food bowls are sanitized. • Medical Attention: I am vigilant about any signs of illness or discomfort, and if needed, I’m prepared to take pets to the vet promptly. I also make sure to administer any necessary medications as instructed. In the Client’s Home: • Respecting the Pet’s Environment: I strive to keep the pet’s routine intact, whether it’s where they eat, sleep, or play. Familiar surroundings help minimize stress. • Customized Care: I tailor care based on the pet’s needs and preferences—whether that’s a specific feeding schedule, favorite toys, or preferred walking routes. • Security: I am cautious about keeping doors and gates secure to prevent pets from escaping. When entering or leaving the home, I always ensure that pets are safe and accounted for. • Communication with Clients: I maintain open communication, sending regular updates and photos of their pets. This helps owners feel at ease and keeps them informed of their pet’s well-being. • House Care: In addition to caring for the pet, I also ensure the home is kept tidy, respecting the client’s space and cleaning up after the pet as needed. In both settings, the well-being of the pets is my top priority. I aim to create a nurturing and loving environment that gives pets a sense of security and comfort while their owners are away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ellenwood
Esontay is amazing! I always feel completely at ease leaving my dogs in her care because I know they are in good hands. She is dependable, attentive, and genuinely cares about them. Having someone I can trust to take great care of my dogs while I’m away gives me such peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Esontay to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Esontay was great with our boy. He sometimes can have a hard time meeting new people but that didn’t last long with Esontay. She used professional techniques to break the ice with our dog and he can around quickly. Esontay was very professional and accurate with the schedule we lined out with her. Sent pictures and give great updates. It allowed us to be able to enjoy our well needed trip. We will definitely be using Esontay again for future services! Thank you Esontay!

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.
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 Ellenwood 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!
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
