“We really like Allison. We felt comfortable with her quickly when we met, and she arrived early the day we left. She communicated with us daily while we were away with updates and pictures. By the last day of our 4-day trip our Boop was completely smitten with her.”
About: I’ve had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember! I have experience as a dog walker, house sitter, and cat sanctuary caregiver, and I genuinely love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I take pride in being attentive to the little details and making sure each pet’s individual needs and routines are cared for. I love playing with dogs, going on walks, and spending time with all kinds of animals. After working at a cat sanctuary for a year, I have a special place in my heart for cats and plenty of experience caring for them with patience and love. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re my own! I am a full time student online earning my degree in Biology. So, I have plenty of time to take care of your baby. I am available weekends and weekdays to give your baby plenty of love and care. I provide care in the client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, playtime, walks, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of the client’s home and take pride in keeping everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away.
“Selena was awesome with my dogs and cat. She accepted the booking on short notice and was on time and professional. She provided great care for them and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend and will utilize her services again. You should ask her how helpful she is around the house! 😁”
“Mickayla stayed at my condo to care for my dog and cat while I was out of town, and I was extremely pleased with the care she provided! She provided daily updates with photos, and followed all instructions. She left my condo spotless and even placed the laundry in the washing machine before she left. She cared for my pets and my condo as if they were her own. I am very pleased with the care she provided and will definitely book her the next time I need a sitter or drop-in service. I highly recommend Mickayla”
“Emerson was super sweet and really took great care of my dog who has mobility isssues and special needs. She went above and beyond offering my partner and I recommendations about where to go in the area and accommodated our schedule so we could get in everything we wanted to do while visiting the area. Highly recommend. Would definitely hire her again if back in Detroit, OR!”
“Kate’s care of our Wheaten Terrier Gracie over the past week was exceptional, we are very happy with her services. She provided daily updates and photos while we were away which we really appreciated. When we returned home, our house seemed cleaner than when we left, everything was orderly and neat. She is definitely our #1 Rover and we will be overjoyed to have her back.”
“Deborah did an awesome job with our little mini dashund for a 5 day trip. She was appropriately communicative so we didn't have to worry about our little dude and he was very well cared for, as was the house!”
“Erin was great with Lily and Willow while we were away. She accommodated our unexpected travel schedule and checked in to give us comfort while gone. Willow hads allergy-related paw issues and she addressed them as instructed and also noted how it progressed or lessened. Both our girls loved her and we'd have her back in a heartbeat. She watched them in our home, and the house was tidy and well cared for. Thank you, Erin!”

About: I have a pretty flexible schedule, and have experience with all sorts of animals and as long as you teach me I'm fine with pets who need meds, or have special diets. I have 2 dogs at home, and 1 cat and i have experience with other animals too. I am licensed so transportation isn't an issue. I'm just trying to earn a little extra cash while going to school, and I love animals so being able to spend time with pets makes me happy. I am 23 years old. I am a stay at home mom, so I pretty much have the whole day available, especially if I can bring my son along, he’s only 5 months so I often wear him in a carrier when I walk my own 3 active high energy breed dogs! I try to treat them as my own, I’m a big animal lover so I’ll do everything in my capacity to make sure your pet is loved and comfortable while your away.
“We left our dog and cat in Haleys's care for six days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our dog is very anxious around new people, but he warmed up to her quickly—which is a huge deal for him! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were both happy and comfortable at home. Haley is absolutely wonderful, professional, and clearly has a gift with animals. I would recommend her 100% to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Erica was fantastic! She and her daughter watched our dogs for two nights, and we couldn't be happier. They took them on walks and played with them, and it was clear they were incredibly well taken care of. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands, providing us with multiple updates and pictures throughout her stay. We'll definitely be booking Erica again!”
“We had an amazing experience with Alivia and would recommend her to everyone looking for a dog sitter! She took such good care of our dog while we were gone. He’s kind of anxious around new people and she was so kind and patient with him, she sent us videos of him wagging his tail and being goofy :)”

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 Elliott Prairie 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 Elliott Prairie 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Elliott Prairie 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.
