“Caroline took such great care of our boy! This was our first time using Rover and having someone our dog doesn’t know let him out. He barks a lot around people he doesn’t know. By the 3rd drop-in, he wasn’t even barking at her. Loved all the updates and pics she sent. We will definitely use Caroline again in the future!”
“We are so happy with the care Amanda gave Zuess! Very prompt, attentive, and met all his needs! We will def. Be requesting her again! It really means everything when you can trust the person coming to your home and caring for your pet when your away.”
“Erin did an amazing job caring for our kitten. She was attentive, friendly, and kind. She provided excellent care for our little kitty and even went out of her way to take care of her. We would highly recommend Erin for anyone else and would happily ask her to help support our kitten in the future if needed.”
About: You can relax, knowing your pup will be treated like one of our own. My family has years of experience working with several different breeds and temperaments. We love them all and we’ll give them the very best care! I also have years of experience pet sitting, as well as, dog walking. We have fostered so many amazing pups and love to make their lives better. I’m home Monday through Friday so your pup will never be alone. I have had several clients that I enjoyed working with very much. I provide security inside and outside and give each pup lots of love and attention. I have a large fenced in yard, your pup will have full access to. They will be let out several times a day and played with. I have three small pups of my own, all under 35 pounds. I take the time to meet every client before their first stay to ensure everyone gets along and so you can see where your pup will be staying. There is also have a separate space to give new pups the opportunity to have alone time.
About: I have always been so in love with all animals! I have grown up with all different breeds of dogs (as seen in my photos). Taken care of my own dogs (multiple breeds), my kitty and neighbors pets (dogs and cats) for years. Timely and reliable. Will always get the job done. Please tell me everything I need to know and what you would like me to do to make your baby feel comfortable! I am a full time nursing student but am only taking one online class over the summer. Besides that, I have a 3 year old golden retriever and a year old kitty that I love dearly and spoil rotten and would love to help other pet parents when needed! I will abide by the pet parents rules and make sure they are well cared for, fed, groomed, dogs walked, played with, happy, loved and for them to be as stress free as possible (rather than being alone from their parents and anxious).
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets — from cats and dogs to small animals. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and genuine love when it comes to pet care. My dogs currently live with my parents 2 miles down the road from me! My experience includes handling multiple pets at once, caring for senior dogs, and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work early mornings at Hershey Hospital and typically finish around 4:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time for evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight care if needed. On my days off, I’m fully available for daytime care as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve! For the safety and comfort of your pets, I care for them in their own familiar environment — your home — where they feel most relaxed and secure. I follow all of your instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I always prioritize their well-being and treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care.
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and have always had dogs as part of my family. After graduating college and moving into my own place, the very first thing I did was adopt a dog of my own! I now have two wonderful dogs and have spent years learning about different breeds, personalities, and training styles. Caring for dogs has become second nature to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their daily routine, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. In the summer, I am available full-time to care for pets. Beginning in the fall, I am a teacher so I am available for pet care after 4pm. I am comfortable visiting your home and caring for your pets in their most comfortable environment, their own home! I am able to bring your pets for walks, let them outside, crate them, or snuggle on the couch! Whatever you and they are comfortable with.
“Very appreciative of Megan’s professional, great care of our pups. She communicated very well and included pictures during her visits. Will be reaching out to her for future care and highly recommend her.”
About: While I never had pets growing up, I was lucky to be able to pet sit for friends and family growing up. I am most comfortable with cats but I am also comfortable with caring for dogs! I currently work full time but have most evenings and weekends free! I have two cats at home who get plenty of undivided attention and enrichment activities - I'd love to give the same to your pets! I live in an apartment with a second floor patio so I feel comfortable supervising my own pets for outdoor activities. I believe in pets setting the tone for the visit so I'm in tune with animals telling me what they're comfortable with and acting accordingly to their wishes.
“Amanda is amazing! We feel fortunate she was able to help us watch our cat. We had to leave in a hurry and did not get to set everything up so Amanda had to sift through some of our things to help take care of our cat. Thank you again so much for all you did and we will definitely book her again.”
About: I have owned pets my whole life. I am a lover of any and all dogs!! I am a full time college student studying nursing and I cannot wait to meet your furry friend!! please reach out :) I am a full time college student who also works part time. Typically my sundays, mondays, wednesdays, fridays, and saturdays are the best days for me. Times of day can vary depending on when my class/work schedule falls. Feel free to reach out and we can set something up!! I keep an eye on my animals when they are outside or playing which would go the same for yours. I do have a dog, her name is Tessa. She was kept away from public most of the time as a puppy so she is now starting to get acclimated to other dogs as well as people, so for the safety of your animals, I do not offer any boarding services but i am happy to come walk your animals as well as drop ins!!
“Sophia was great! She came over to meet my cat before I left for my trip and to understand everything I needed done while away. She gave updates each stop in and some pictures too. 10/10!”

“Brooke was fantastic with our dogs over the weekend. She provided us with pictures and messages which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy and looked after very well. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Kianna was wonderful with our puppy while we were away ! She checked in on him several times and each time gave us a detailed report and photos. Ollie loved the attention! We will definitely hope to have Kianna again soon!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elm
Maria was amazing and went above and beyond during our trip. She made sure everything was in perfect shape for our girls, and was very accommodating to their needs. We would happily use her again, and she made our first experience on Rover perfect. Thank you so much!
I’m so happy I found her! This was my first time using Rover or any pet sitter, so I was very nervous, but she made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. She was super responsive, responsible, and followed all of my instructions for my two kittens perfectly. She clearly has experience with cats and cared for my kittens like they were her own. I also noticed a few things through my pet camera while I was away, and when I asked her to check in on them, she was so kind and helpful about it. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable cat sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,031 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elm. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elm. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
