“Lexi was great! She was very prompt, treated our kitties as if they were her own and even brought one of her favorite cat toys along to get ours to play more which they did! I think we will be buying that cat toy. We will definitely want her to take care of them again when we go away next. It’s a huge relief to find someone to trust with our cats.”
“Everything went smoothly, and I could not be more pleased! Maisie can be a shy girl sometimes but she took to Katie right away when Katie came for the meet-and-greet before setting up the recurring visits. That made me feel secure right there. It's a weight off my mind to know someone reliable, kind and caring is looking in on my little ones.”
About: Throughout my life, I’ve had the privilege of living with and taking care of dogs of all sizes. I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s walking, playing, or simply being by their side. I work remotely in digital marketing, which gives me the flexibility to care for your dog! 🐕 I work remotely, Monday-Friday. Working from home allows me to work flexibly from any location (with WIFI), while giving me time to care for your dog. If I have connection to WIFI, I can easily work from your home while caring for your dog. My schedule also allows me to come stop by to walk and care for your dog.
“Kat has been so great! I love the cards she fills out, the pictures she sends, and any important updates I should know while gone. She has great communication, and will definitely rebook with her!”
“Julia did a fantastic job taking care of our Callie during one weekend. She was attentive to her needs and also flexible for feedings and medication administration. She helped us out last minute and made us feel at ease that she was taken care of. Highly recommend her to take care of your fur baby! They will be in excellent hands!”
“Jen was great with my dogs, she followed all our instructions and nailed it to feed them, one of them is very picky and she managed to feed him. Very happy with her!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life whether it be my own pets or other people’s pets. I love cats and dogs and have experience in caring for pets with health problems and pets who are a little bit older. I do well with all different sizes and breeds of cats and dogs. I am an athletic person so taking pets on walks is a great workout for both me and your pet! I work off my own schedule so anytime outside of 10pm-6am I can be there to take care or walk your pet. I am free any day of the week. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. Any instructions will be followed to completely. For walks I know of many parks and for longer walks trails.
About: From week long in-home stays to quick 15 minute walks, I have done it all! I started occasional dog walking in 8th grade and i’ve continued pet care for 9 years. I have experience with high energy and large dogs like Belgian Malinois to lower energy senior dogs that just need companionship. I can truly cater to each dog and what they need. I grew up with dogs and currently have two, a rottweiler and a lab. I currently work two jobs but they are usually pretty spread out time wise. I work in the morning from 7:30 to 2:00pm and two nights a week from 7:00pm to 12:00 am. I have weekends free so plenty of time for visiting! I will not be able to offer any in home care as I have two dogs at home that do not enjoy the company of others.
“I highly recommend Nikki for daily visits. She visited our dog a few times a day while we were gone for a long weekend. She listened to my concerns about leaving our anxious dog, and and her calm confidence allowed me to relax knowing she would take good care of him.Nikki sent reassuring notes throughout our absence and she was able to see the sweet nature of our dog even though he tends to be anxious and cautious. Having Nikki take care of our dog was a good choice for us.”
About: I have always had cats and dogs my whole life. Friends and family ask me to watch their pets frequently when they are out of town. I also have a soft spot for the senior pets who need that extra love and care. I currently work part-time from home so I have plenty of flexibility and time to spend with your pet(s) and fit in any additional care they may need. When I visit your home, just let me know your routine and I will continue your usual care to provide stability and predictability with your pet(s).
About: I do part time senior Care and some of my clients have animals I find it very important that they are well taken care of and happy as they bring a lot of comfort to my clients when I'm away This means plenty of walks up and down hills going out and sitting on the grass at live music shows and tons of interactions with other dogs while we shop for groceries downtown Food schedules almost go hand in hand when Im meal prepping for my human clients We've invented a few new games with my one clients and her lab misty Her favorite being the wagon tire I attacted to a bind of cordage and a spring up in a tree limb misty loves to jump and snatch the tire while it bounces around Well I love to work out throughout the week and on weekends I would normally go for small hikes woth my friend but she has developed a respiratory issue and can no longer do so I find it would be amazing to get some energy out with so eager to run and play dogs I monitor a lot of potential puppy problems as I call them after all big dogs share a lot in common with toddlers you have to make sure that they arnt biting scratching chewing or marking any beloved items or areas in the house Getting sufficient exercise helps stimulate the dog's and corner these bad behaviors Plenty of treats and positive reinforcement goes a long way as well

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elm Grove
I’ve had a great experience with Ana! My dogs liked her immediately during our meet and greet, and I could tell she knew her way around bigger dogs. Communication was super straightforward and fast - she even asked how often I want updates, which I really appreciate. Ramses was very relaxed when I came home after Ana’s visit. I’ll definitely be booking her again!
We cannot recommend Carolyn highly enough! She did a fantastic job watching our cats, Ava and Chase. She followed all of our care instructions and made sure to spend quality time playing with them. It was so reassuring to see the attention to detail she had, like cleaning out their bowls at every single feeding. On top of the stellar care, she took absolutely incredible pictures of them while we were away! We would book with her again with zero hesitation.

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 Elm Grove 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.
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 Grove. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
