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: I’m Tyler and I am a freshman in college. I have been walking and sitting dogs for neighbors and family since I was little. I’ve started going to more abroad when I got my car in highschool and since then I’ve been sitting overnight, walking in the day, and much more. I have had many dogs over my life all different sizes and some over 100 pounds so I’ve seen it all and know what it’s like. I’ve walked over hundreds of dogs already and hope your dog can be my next. I’m reprisals, caring, loving, and most of all so compassionate for dogs. Please consider me as your next booking! I am in school currently but anytime after 6:15 I can do walks, drop ins, and overnight stays during the week. For the weekends mainly all day Saturday I can do walks and drop ins but only Sunday mornings from 9-12 I can do walks and drop ins. I can do overnights some Saturdays and Sundays I’d just have to let you know my schedule. I won’t have a home to take care of pets in so I only do walks, drop ins, and overnights in your home since I’m a student in school
“Wow! Morgan is a fantastic sitter!! Timely and extremely attentive to our pups. Her communication with me made our time away easy. We have three dogs which can be worrisome however she made us feel at ease with them in her care. We will definitely book her again and thank her for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend her services.”

Please feel free to ask any questions upon a booking request. I am flexible to be able to let your pets out, spend time with them, feed them upon request, and open to anything that will help them have a normal and enjoyable experience.
“Katie gave my one cat a pill every day and scooped the litter box while we were away. She came over before we left to go over instructions and said she would message us if there were any issues. We came back to nice clean litter boxes, and we did not get any messages so I’m assuming she was good giving the medication! Thanks Katie!”

About: Hi! Woof! I have been loving dogs since I was born. When you couldn't find me as a child, it was probably because I was in the dog house, surrounded by 15 pit bull puppies. Living the dream! Now I have a dog of my very own and have been proud to call my son for 15 years. I also am the the proud Aunt to 5 other babies of all different sizes and breeds. I have wonderful dog friends who I get to visit and care for, and I just love it. I have had experience caring for 7 newborn puppies, expecting mothers, females in heat, etc. I love to cuddle but if that’s not your thing, that’s okay too! We can take as many walks as you need to get your exercise in. There's plenty of love and time offered because I want you to feel safe, secure, and loved while in my care, whether that's a walk down the street or at bedtime. Thank you for taking time to read my profile, if you feel I might be a good match for your baby, please feel free to reach out! ❤️🐾 I work a full time teaching position currently, so I am available after 3pm and don’t usually am awake until 11:30pm and don’t mind walking at night. My preferred leash, which I always have on hand, wraps and clips around my waist so your dog will be securely attached to my body no matter what. At this time, I cannot offer boarding or daycare unless at the clients house. With that said, I cleaned homes for many years and always respect another persons home. I’m there for your dog, and serve no other purpose.
“I don’t know where to even begin. Julia was absolutely amazing and our two boys just loved her! On the first home visit she came in, hyped up the boys into going outside, and gave them lots of treats. Our dogs are not normally around other people but they are also big babies. I would definitely recommend Julia and we will be booking with her again 😊”

“Madison was great. I felt confident in her from the meet and greet. Madison is a genuine and honest person. She has a natural interest in cats, she wants to take good care of them and she does, taking no short cuts.”

“Working with Felicia was amazing! She took great care of our cats and gave us very detailed reports on their care.

Would definitely recommend her for your pet needs and would love to work with her again. Thanks again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my whole life. I had my own dog sitting and walking business from ages 14-19 and then stopped dog walking when I adopted my first dog. Now, we have 3 dogs, and I would love to help other families with their fur babies! My husband and I work full time but will be available on weekends. We also can provide services in the late afternoon/evening. My husband and I will both be assisting, and will make time for you and your babies! I work remotely 2-3 times a week. We’re best able to assist with boarding, on Fridays and the weekends. We can dog walk on the weekends and evenings. During the weekday, our availability is more limited given our full time jobs. We can care for a few dogs at a time, if you are comfortable with it! If not, let us know and we can limit our care to just your pet! We have a large, fenced yard! We also have 3 friendly dogs of our own! They are our family! We are respectful of other people’s homes and their family members.

Denise did an amazing job watching my dog, Piston! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making him comfortable and happy while I was away. I came back to a relaxed, well-cared-for pup and couldn’t ask for more. I’d absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Elmer is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 7,329 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elmer. 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 .
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 , 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 Elmer. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
