About: I have cared for animals the majority of my life. In a personal as well as professional capacity. Previously, I worked for a dog daycare/boarding facility in northern Virginia which allowed me to work with dogs of different sizes and temperament. I have volunteered on and off over the years at various shelters and ranches. I currently have a certificate of completion to be a Veterinary Assistant and am looking forward to continuing my education in animal care. I work full time from home which allows me the freedom to care for my own fur babies without issue. My evenings and weekends leave me open to care for your fur babies! I have a large non-fenced backyard with a 100’ dog lead. I do supervise while my dog is on the lead to ensure their safety.
About: For the past 4 years I have been pet sitting and dog walking for multiple families and have 3 dogs of my own and 3 cats. I have two boxers and a great dane, and I am a true animal lover and would be thrilled to be able to take care of your fur babies! I am a very available, I do work night shift 2-3 nights a week 7pm-7:30 am. I am usually up early as well and open to any times. At other people’s homes I make sure to follow whatever rules are given, and I respect boundaries that are given as well. Along with that, I always keep watch on animals that I am walking and or sitting.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since before I could walk! I’ve trained my own puppy and taken care of senior dogs. I have patience and love for animals that sets me apart! I am currently a teacher looking for a summer job, which means my schedule is very open throughout the summer months! I am available for daytime visits, walks, feedings, and pet care throughout the week. While I prefer weekdays, I am flexible and may be available on weekends when needed. I am a reliable and trustworthy person who will treat your home, dog, or cat with the same care, respect, and love that I would give my own pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else's care, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience.
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. I started dog sitting for neighbors and family members when I was 10. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve taken care of labs, pitbulls, doodles, yorkies, and other small rescue breeds all ages from puppies to elderly. I’m looking for a job not only for some college money but also for some pet therapy. I can’t go home to see my own dog so it would bring me so much joy to take care of someone else’s. I am a college student so my schedule can be pretty flexible. My schedule is very day to day Monday through Sunday but I have more than enough time to take care of animals for hours at a time if needed. I will follow any instructions given to me. I have no problem cleaning up after a dog if it makes a mess, and I have definitely gotten some dogs in crates with some tricks. I will always make sure the house looks exactly how it did when I got there, and make sure the pup has a clean and comfy place to stay!

I specialize in Labrador Retrievers, German Shorthair Pointers, and Goldendoodles. I am comfortable with administering medication such as insulin shots as well as given oral medication. I treat all pets like my own offering overnights in your home, drop-in visits, and walks. My goal is to ensure your pet stays happy and comfortable while you're away! I am very flexible and usually have tons of open availability as I do not have many customers at the moment so I would be available at most times! I have a large yard (no fence) for your animal to explore in. Plenty of dog toys for your pet to play with from my previous dog. Plenty of leashes to take your pet for a walk. I live on a quiet road with a quiet development behind me that’s great for walking.
“Greg was really great with our three cats! He took care to make sure everyone was ok during his daily drop ins, and was very thorough with all of the feeding and care tasks we had for him to do. Our cats loved him, he has a good way of relating to animals of all different personalities. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody for daily cat care.”
About: Since sneaking an abandoned newborn kitten home at the age of 14, I’ve had the privilege of gaining a diverse range of experiences in caring for both cats and dogs. Last summer my angel (chunky cat in my photos) passed away at 11 years old from sudden health issues, given no option for treatment. He was like a son to me. I've found animals are the medicine to my grief and I'll gladly dedicate all of me to caring for your pet! Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to adopt, foster, and pet-sit countless times, demonstrating my knowledge and responsibility in caring for cats and dogs of all ages and in various conditions. My experience extends to puppy training and cat socialization, allowing me to provide comprehensive care for your beloved pet. With a deep passion for animals, I assure you that I will dedicate my utmost effort and commitment to ensuring the well-being and happiness of your precious baby(ies) I’m currently working towards an engineering degree through online learning from home, which allows me to have great availability. I’m reachable by phone at all times as well. I have a big house (and spare rooms) with a large fenced yard. My patience towards animals seems to never run out because I look at them and all I see is a pure soul and a big (or small) baby. Caring for pets isn’t a chore to me and you can fully trust me to stay attuned and send lots of pictures and videos, as well as the basics like feed, walk, play, administer medication (if needed) as many times as needed. My experience with animal care is very diverse and the chances are very slim to none that I’ll encounter something I haven’t handled before.

“What can we say! Lucy was a last minute find as we lost our other sitter. She went out of her way to meet up and put us at ease. Our two senior dogs absolutely love her. She's extremely personable and responsible, asking all the right questions and making sure we were in constant contact throughout. She sent pictures too that allowed us to see how well the pups were doing. We plan to use her again and recommend her to other family. While the dogs were excited to see us, they clearly miss her. Thank you Lucy!”

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Elmer is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $25 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
