“Ariana was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my dog, and I would happily book with her again. She came every day as scheduled, took great care of my dog, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was incredibly attentive, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire stay. One of my favorite parts was receiving the daily updates and photos. It was clear from the pictures that my dog was comfortable, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention. If you’re considering booking Ariana, don’t let the number of reviews deter you. She is trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I felt completely confident leaving my dog in her care, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter.”
“Juliana took great care of our two cats. We had never done anything like this before she made us really comfortable with a quick meet and greet then kept us informed each day she visited. I look forward to using her many times in the future and would definitely recommend to others in the area. Thank you for your love and kindess to ours pets!”
About: I've taken care of many animals since I was young, I've been a sitter for 2 fur babies for 2years before I moved and I do have my own sweet girl, she just turned 5 this year. I currently work part-time and I am a college students, so I do make time to be around fur babies, being around pets just bring me peace and happiness especially if I'm keeping company, walking or just playing. I would prefer to walk or go to the pets home, I do have children in my home that are at a very busy age and a new addition who is now 4months.
“Tiffany was perfect! She stopped by, checked on my babies and even played with them for a few and sent photos. I really appreciate her squeezing me and my babies in at the last minute we are beyond appreciative!”
“I adore Virginia. She makes sure our dogs are happy and well-cared for! She behaves as though our house were her own! She enters our home with such ease, King and Junior immediately turn toward her.”
“Had a service was amazing. My family and I was going out of town after recently moved here and we needed someone to watch our little two poodle dogs. After doing our research, we decided to use Heather and it was the best decision we made. We were at peace of mine while being on our vacation and she stayed in touch with us the entire time making sure that we were kept up-to-date and we’re at Peace, knowing that we were using her for the first time the service was exceptionally well. I certainly recommend her to anyone thank you Heather!”
“Wenonah was GREAT! She took fantastic care of out kitty, and sent so many cute and funny pictures, so we knew he was in good hands. She even offered to make an extra visit, because we were getting back late from our trip. He was a happy guy. Definitely recommended!”
“Kalena is a lovely sitter, and I felt so comfortable with her doing drop in visits for my dog. I just got home and he seems so happy after over a week! Will definitely book again if she’s available.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 17, and it’s truly become one of my favorite parts of life. I love dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I treat every pup like they’re my own. I currently have a part-time job working with dogs, and I’m available from 3–8 PM on weekdays. Weekends are completely open! I’m not much of a morning person, but I can always work something out if needed. My dog and I are big fans of long walks with music and backyard play sessions — we both get our exercise in! After that, it’s all about cuddles, treats, and chill time. I make sure every pet feels loved and part of the family.

I treat all furbabies that enter my home like they’re my children each individual. I get to know their personality and judge them accordingly I’d like to get down on their level and connect with them to eye each dog has its own personality.
About: I've had pets my entire life and love animals. I treat them with love and respect as well as positive reinforcement. I am familiar with dog training and crate training (I have trained my last three dogs). I give lots of love, walks, and affection. I am a stay at home mom and all of my children are in school now. My main obligation is taking the kids to and from school, and other than that, I'm completely free to play with pets. I have a large fenced in yard and an awesome trail to walk in my neighborhood for dogs who love to walk. My dog is crate trained and likes to spend a few hours of quiet time in his crate every day. I am currently raising kittens who are crate trained but mostly like to roam freely.
“Jessica has been great about providing updates with Roxie's behaviors and any concerns if something happens during a visit. It helps for me to know what is happening when I cannot be at home. She is super communicative and caring in her approach.”
About: Hello! I’m Adreana and I've seen the nitty, the gritty, and the nasty...nothing can scare me away, trust me I volunteered for a shelter in college lol. In terms of my tangible experience, I've logged an immense amount of hours volunteering at animal shelters and pet-sitting for various friends and family. I'm a huge advocate for exercise and fitness for pets so if you leave your dog with me, I guarantee that we will be going on runs and playing outside. I have my own fur baby and she is my whole life, I’ve even opted out of having kids ?? doggies will do. I one day hope to own my own “no-kill” shelter. If you book me I promise your dog will thank you!
“Mary Claire and her boyfriend were absolutely incredible! They took such amazing care of our cats, spent time with them every day and even took amazing care of our place! They sent us daily pictures and updates that made us feel so much better! We cannot say enough good things about them and will definitely use them again! We can’t recommend them enough!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ellenwood
Esontay was absolutely wonderful! My girl can be very timid around new people, but Esontay was patient and took the time to let her warm up at her own pace. That meant a lot to me, and it made a huge difference in how comfortable my dog felt. I really appreciated her reliability and communication, and I’m already in the process of setting up the next visit. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after.
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!
Amazing service! I took a chance booking for drop-in visits in my home, and she exceeded my expectations. She made me feel completely at ease, communicated consistently, and my dogs adored her. I would absolutely book her again! I truly appreciated her patience, kindness and customer service.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ellenwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Ellenwood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
