“Emily was fantastic! Overnight stays with our 4 year old doodle for a week and we got multiple updates/photos daily. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!!”
“Anna was amazing with our dachshund and our cat. Her comnunication was consistent and her professionalism was impeccable. Our furry babies were relaxed and happy when we came home, so we know they were loved and spoiled while we were gone. We highly recommend Anna as a sitter!”
“She took care of our pets very well, and sent pics everyday! For the most part I was able to relax and enjoy the trip, and when I did get anxious (pet parent 😅) she was always very quick to respond!”
“Aly was great with the animals. They all seemed to love her pretty quickly, I got tons of photos of them, and she took very detailed notes of when they went out, ate, etc. I asked her to sit very last minute and am happy she was available!”
“I had such a great experience with Katelyn watching Oakley! She stayed at my house for the weekend and took such great care of her. She was reliable, caring, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing Oakley was in good hands. I came home to a happy pup and everything in the house was just as I left it. Would definitely recommend her and would love to have her watch Oakley again! ❤️”
“Lauren was the sweetest and made our pups feel like they had family keeping them. We never worried because of her check-ins and she was wonderful with our 1 year old Shihtzu and our 11 year old lab/collie mix. We loved the photos and she made sure our dogs were so well taken care of. We would happily use her again!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and have almost always lived in a home with three or more at a time, so caring for multiple dogs with different personalities, ages, energy levels, and needs is second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own dogs as well as pets belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, seniors, larger breeds, feeding schedules, walks, medications, basic grooming, and maintaining the routines dogs are used to at home. Having a multi-dog household has also taught me how important it is to pay attention to each dog individually—reading their body language, managing introductions, giving them space when needed, and making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. When your dog stays with me, I want them to feel like they’re staying in a home, not a boarding facility. I’m happy to follow their normal routine and provide plenty of photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re being well cared for. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have dogs of my own. I’m currently able to offer a flexible schedule throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I’m home frequently, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I’m also happy to work around your dog’s normal feeding, exercise, and sleep schedule. I have a dog-friendly home with a fenced yard and plenty of room for dogs to play, relax, and feel comfortable. Since I have dogs of my own, I take introductions seriously and pay close attention to each dog’s personality and body language. Dogs can be separated or crated when needed, and I’m happy to follow any routines or boundaries you use at home. My priority is making sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of individual attention.
“My husband and I have a 143-acre farm with 3 large hunting dogs, 2 cats, 2 pigs, and 50 chickens. Glenn took great care of all these critters while we traveled for more than a week. He sent regular updates, and our sometimes nervous dogs were super relaxed when we came home! We can’t recommend him highly enough!”
“Laura was so wonderful with Boca ? my flights were delayed & she even stayed for a late night walk to make sure Boca would be good until I got home !! Thank you Laura for taking the best care of Boca !!!!”
“Liz did a wonderful job and the cats were very well behaved during her stay, which means she did a great job :) She was also great at communication and sent us some fun pics while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Andru was amazing. He took fantastic care of my animals and kept me updated with pictures while we were away. Andru was clear in his communication, and seemed to genuinely love my animals, would definitely recommend and would love Andru to look after my animals again”
About: I have a corgi, and have grown up with dogs my whole life! I love dog sitting, dog walking, and all of the above. Let me come pet your dog please! I am a college student with an extremely flexible class and work schedule. I am studying Nursing and have plenty of time to spend studying with your furry ones! I think it is so important that pets are nurtured as family, because they are after all! I want to spend time with your pets just as I do my own.
“The girls always enjoy their stays with Tess! She communicates well, sends lots of photos, and gives them love. I will continue to use her whenever I need someone I can trust with my pups!”
“The moment we met Sherri, we knew she would be the perfect fit for our three boys. She is caring, loving and very attentive to our dog’s needs. She provided constant communication while we were away, reassuring us that everything was ok. Our boys loved the time they spent with her. We consider Sherri as pert of our family now ❤️”
“Katryna took care of our babies over our wedding weekend! To be able to have a stress free weekend with our babies so well taken care of means the world to us. If she’s available, we will be booking for the honeymoon and all future pet setting needs!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elm Springs
I had a great experience with Felise and would absolutely book with her again! She stayed at my house for a week while watching my dog and took amazing care of everything. She sent me daily updates with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was always quick to respond whenever I reached out, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about my dog. She did an excellent job handling a larger dog and made sure she was well cared for the entire time. I came home to a happy pup and a well-kept house. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter!
Lauren was fantastic with our puppy and older dog. She was able to manage drop ins/house sitting responsibilities for the week while we were gone. She made sure the house was clean and instructions were followed, especially on medication for our older dog. We are so thankful to have her and she even made sure we had coverage during a medical procedure of hers when plans change. Highly recommend her!
Megan went above and beyond for our dogs! She easily cared for our puppy after a spay with special instructions for her incision. Our older dog loved every minute of her cuddles and we cannot wait to have her back! We appreciate her photos, updates, and clarifying questions to make sure our babies were well cared for. It was wonderful to have a night away with Megan in charge and we highly recommend her!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Elm Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Elm Springs on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 539 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Elm Springs. 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 Elm Springs 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 Elm Springs 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 Elm Springs 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 Elm Springs. On Rover:
- 100% 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.
