About: I’m 24 years old, im a part time stna and part time dog sitter! Im a pet owner, I’ve grew up with pets my entire life. I grew up with cats, dogs, fish, goats. I love to care for animals/ people who can’t take care/speak for themselves😇 I currently work a part time, night shift job during the week Tuesday-Thursday. I am available on weekends at ANY TIME for boarding, house sitting or drop-in visits. And during the week I am also available any time after 9am! For any pet they need to be fed, bathed, time to play, let outside to potty and just be a nice companion to them everyday. I’m a pet owner myself so I already do the everyday chores/ needs that are needed for care. It’s been a lifelong routine of mine that I’m accustomed to.

“This was my first time using a house sitter and Hannah was fantastic! She kept in contact with me and sent pictures of my fur babies. If I need a drop-in or house sitting again, I will be scheduling with her. 😊 Thank you, Hannah!”

About: My name is Allison and I am "pet parent" to my two rescue dogs, Macy and Mia! In addition to caring for my own animals (both age 10), I have experience with drop-in visits, walking, and extended stays with repeat clients. I have completed several training sessions with my dogs, and Macy passed the Canine Good Citizen test. I also have a personal interest in learning more about animal communication and body language, and I am always looking for innovative ways to train and keep my own dogs engaged in a fun activity. I have a full time job working from home, so I do have some flexibility in my schedule to help care for your animal! Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority and I will do my best to make them feel as comfortable while you're gone! I may also send one too many pictures to keep you updated! 😁 I work from home full-time but I am free many weekends or random days! Please always check if I am not listed because I may be able to accommodate! I will follow your pet’s routines to the best of my ability. I will keep a watchful eye on them whenever they’re outside or out of the room. I make sure to follow a family’s safety protocols and ask for as many details as possible.

About: I have had dogs as a family pet since 2008. Currently have 2 dogs who are very loved and spoiled to death 😊 I started off dog sitting for a family member in 2019 with a senior dog, and then a puppy a couple years later. I have also house/pet sit for a family friend for the past few years as well. They have 4 dogs (ranging from 15 lbs to 100+ lbs) and 3 cats. I have a good rapport with both groups and can provide references if needed! I also have experience with sitting a 1 cat household as well for one of my friends. In my household, my sisters and I have potty-trained and skill-trained every one of our family pets (we have had 4 now). I have experience with giving pets medications as they need following the owner’s specific instructions. Lastly, I have walked dogs of all kinds of sizes (miniature pinscher all the way to a Great Pyrenees). I look forward to helping you with your pet needs!! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday from 10am-7pm. I work at a pretty lenient place that gives me lunch breaks up to an hour and a half long, so in the past if a pet I have watched needs a potty break midday, I can go back on my lunch break to do so. I have availability after getting off from this job as well, so I can accommodate to late nights as well. I don’t work weekends there so I have pretty much open availability every weekend. 😊 I currently live at home with my parents and sisters, so I do not offer pet sitting at my home at this time. I have pet sat for people in different home styles (apartment, single-level home with small yard, two-story home with big yard). I have always followed every owner’s instructions and rules to a T. Every owner has loved my care with their pets and continues to put their trust in me to this day. I have several references that I can provide if needed!

About: I’ve been around any type of animal since I’ve remember. I’ll make sure your little fur balls are well taken care of under me and everything will be set. Super understanding and easy to get along with and I love to make bondings with them! I’m currently in college and go to class in the morning and get out around 12:30. After class ill be over and ready to take care of your fur babies. For my personal pets I make sure they are spoiled and are happy and in a clean area they have a big yard to run around and play in. For your fur balls I’d make sure to take them on a decently long walk on a good day or car rides if that’s what your dog likes! They will be spoiled with treats if they’re good for me and if I’m doing a dog sit at home I’ll make sure to play with them and make sure they don’t feel left out.

“Bobbie went over and above with all my pets. Oliver is blind and still acts like a puppy so he can be a handful but Bobbie and her family treated him like one i or f their own. I could tell that he was super comfortable in their care. She took the best possible care of Dottie and Toby as well. Bobbie was awesome with the daily pics and updates and was very flexible with our vacation schedule. We’ll be using her on our next vacation for sure.”

I currently work a full time job during the week. My weekly work schedule is from 7am-3pm.

About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! I do work 730-330 M-F but my partner (Jeremy) is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.

About: I’ve loved dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and I’ve had the privilege of caring for family and close friends pets for years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality whether that means slower walks/hanging out at home for seniors, or jogging/longer walks for high energy pups. I’ve also spent many hours volunteering at the local humane society caring for dogs/cats. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and learn their personality! I make time for walks/drop ins through my work week with my flexible work schedule. It brightens my day to see happy dogs through my work day. I always make sure to keep small items any pets may swallow off of the floor/counters and keep a close eye on the environment to make sure doors are shut correctly. I’m very conscious about keeping a safe environment for all pets.

About: I have cared for my own animals since I was 7 years old! I know how Important your furry family mean to you,so why not have someone that loves and cares for animals just as much! I have a 2 year old blue heeler mixed, pitbul, and 3 wonderful cats! So no dog or cat is nor big or small. I love them all the same as my own. I have decided to make sitting your pets my highest priority and have officially made pet sitting a full time job I am available anytime of the day! I am very confident with kenneling a dog as I have to with mine! Love to give lots of cuddles for those who may need that extra attention!

FAQs for House Sitting - Elliston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 326 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Elliston. 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 Elliston 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 Elliston 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 Elliston 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.

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

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
