“Very kind couple that went out of their way in unusual circumstances. They were fantastic with sending pictures and keeping us up to date with our dog Rocky.”
“We were a little nervous at first with booking drop-in visits through Rover because we have only ever had our dogs taken care of by close friends and family while we were away. From our initial meet and greet, our 70 pound dogs (a senior Lab mix and a 3 year old extremely hyper Doberman) immediately took a liking to Samantha. She gave us such a wonderful first experience with drop-in visits that we now have the peace of mind from having someone that we could depend on and trust with our fur-babies. She was very punctual with our scheduled drop-ins to feed and water them. She also provided a whole lot of love, attention, and playtime. We received updates and entertaining pictures for the visits so we did not have to worry about anything and we knew they were in great hands.”
“Lindsay has been wonderful with our puppy! She is following what we asked of her and we couldn’t be more pleased with her! We get updates as to what they did and how my pup was! You can’t go wrong with Lindsay!!”
“Sierra has been absolutely wonderful with our dogs. She’s very kind and keeps us very up to date with how they’re doing. Not to mention she’s gone the extra mile cleaning up after one of our pups who has been getting sick in the house. We’re very happy with her service and will continue hiring her!”
“She was flexible with my schedule and able to come at odd hours that I needed since I work evenings! She was great with the pups- played with them safely, fed them and sent detailed reports! Definitely going to book again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I’ve had my own dog for 5 years now and there aren’t many days we don’t go on our daily walk. While living abroad, I also helped walk and dog sit for my neighbor whenever she was away. I treat every pup like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, care, and attention. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight care throughout the week. I love spending time outdoors and with dogs, so I make pet care a regular part of my day. As my schedule changes down the road, I’ll be sure to keep my availability up to date so you always know when I’m open for bookings. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to respect your space and keep things just the way you like them. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime, I stick to your pet’s normal schedule and give them plenty of attention and care while you’re away.
About: I love my dogs and I will love yours to!! Your family member will have a great place to stay, and somebody to play with. They will be well taken care of and have everything they will need, food, water, outside, pet scratches, and belly rubs. We will be taking walks in a lovely neighborhood and spend some time at the park. You may not want them to stay to long or they may not want to go home. I look forward to taking in your family members while you are out of town or taking care of business. Either way you can rest easy knowing your beloved animals are here with me and in a safe place, I will be more than happy to do so! Thank you for your time and hope I’m a good match for you and your fur babies. I currently have free time at my home so I would love to spend some time with a friendly pet. I am currently a stay at home mom. I like to give attention when attention is needed to pets. If they want to play I will play with them or if they need to go out to potty, I will take them out. Anything your pet needs I will be there.
“Kaylee was phenomenal! It was a last minute booking but she jumped right in. She was able to meet the boys the day before and they absolutely adored her. She was very communicative, polite, and respectful. She always reached out if she had any questions and responded fast if we needed to get ahold of her. 10/10 recommend!”
“Katriana is amazing! She came by before our trip to meet all the fur babies, see where everything was that is needed to take care of the babies and to reassure me that my babies were in good hands. I felts 100% comfortable leaving all my babies in her hands and the stress that I was feeling was eliminated after meeting her. Our fur babies were loved and taken care of while we were out of town. Katriana is tentative, respectful, reassuring, and loving. I would recommend her to everyone that is looking for a wonderful pet sitter because she goes above and beyond.”
About: I've been a dog lover my whole life, owning and caring for pups of all sizes since I was 8. Every experience with them has made me a better person, and now I get to combine that passion with my daily routine! Dog walking not only keeps me active but also helps keep me happy ^w^ I can’t wait to meet your pup and go for a fun run—or a leisurely walk if that’s more their style! Feel free to reach out with any questions. I typically work evenings, any time I'm not at work though I'm usually spending time with my own dog at home, or trying to make extra to save up for a car and groceries 😁 However you as the client tell me to treat your pet, I will gladly treat your pet, nothing is too embarrassing or too much, as long as they're with me, they get my sole attention 😊
“April was amazing! From the moment I met her she was so nice and energetic of taking care of my fur babies! She followed directions, was on time, was respectful, and took pictures of my babies while on vacation. She gave me a comfort during my time away that they were in good hands. Definetly recommend and will book again in the future 😊”
“Michael remains a regular sitter for my senior kitty. He is quick to reply, flexible to change in care for my pet, and reliable. He makes sure all requested tasks are completed and provides pictures of completed work.”
“Such a kind and professional sitter! Sent great pictures and updates throughout her time with my pets, made it easy and comfortable to be away from them for the first time. Overall went above and beyond for my boys and I am so thankful! Would definitely recommend and would absolutely book with her again ☺️”

About: My family got our first family dog about 2 years ago. She’s about 10 years old and was going to be surrendered to a shelter. I know it’s tough for older dogs to get adopted so my family stepped in to take care of her. Pets are wonderful additions to any family & I’m just happy she’s living a relaxing life with us now. I’m currently very flexible with my time and would love to incorporate more walks into my days. If I'm unsure of any schedules I will always let you know. I enjoy taking her on walks it’s something she always looks forward to and of course making sure she always has access to water. My dog has anxiety especially when it comes to loud noises. Whenever there is a storm she hides and the least I can do is offer myself as a companion to her for the meantime.

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 Elmendorf 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 Elmendorf. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
