“Mia was great with our kitties and with us! One is special needs and needs his medications, both are very spoiled. Super responsive , reassuring, punctual, and caring. Thank you! Flash and Blaze look forward to seeing you again soon!”
“Kaylee was very accommodating and flexible. She gave great updates and took excellent care of our furbabies! Would definitely book with her again and highly recommend that you do the same!”
“Julia came on time, communicated, and made sure she followed the instructions I gave her for my lady. My dog Panchita is slow and Julia made sure to meet her before her care for a better experience!”
About: I currently work part time as a fulfillment handler for a dog training company. I've had pets all my life, and have a special bond with dogs. I enjoy all animals, and have a dog right now who's a 6 year old beagle mix. I've had a few dogs throughout my life, and had a rescued a pit bull named Sadie who just passed away recently after 8 amazing years, (6 when we got her ❤️). Looking forward to taking care of your kids! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I have availability nightly, and would love to be a help for your pets! I always ensure your pets are safe, secure, and happy when taking care of them. I love being able to help pets relax even when their owners are away.
About: I grew up having multiple dogs at the same time so I am very comfortable around dogs of all kinds. I have a 3 yo, 80 lb Irish wolfhound mix named Cornelius who is the light of my life, so I am experienced in taking care of big dogs that need a lot of exercise and attention. I am flexible with my schedule and my main priority is to give you and your doggo the best experience possible. I love taking care of people and animals in general, which is why I worked as a caregiver for 3 years. I feel that I am a natural caregiver and that this translates into being a great dog-sitter and dog-owner myself. I look forward to getting to know you and yours!
“Kelsie was fantastic! She was very timely, posted photos of each drop-in visit, and described each event that occurred during the visit. My wife and I highly recommend her!”
About: I have a black lab at home that I love walking and playing with. I would love to care for your dogs through feeding, playing, walking or washing them. I would love to be a dog walker so I can get them and myself some exercise. I have experience feeding and taking dogs out to do their business, and always clean off my dog's feet in carpeted households. I do not have any special training, but I love dogs, and would love the opportunity to meet yours. I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time in the afternoons to care for your pets during the weekday, and weekends am wide open! At this time I cannot take on pets at my own home, as there are small children and a senior dog, but I will keep your pets safe in your home according to your guidance.
About: I have had experience with animals since I was 8, I currently have a Great Dane/Pyrenees mix and a tabby kitty. I love them all! I work nights until 12 am, so if I am staying at your house or watching them, I will spend a lot of time with them! I enjoy spending time with your pup/cat and I will care for them as if they are my own pet! I have been pet sitting for a while, so I love every animal.
About: Hello I’m Bianca! I am entering my senior year at U of O, barista at Dutch, and I want to love/care for your fur kids! I grew up with 3 corgis in my family, so I learned daily dog care early on with walks, feeding schedules, and playtime. Since then, I’ve taken care of family dogs and dogs belonging to close family friends, and I even dog sat for a breeder with more than 10 dogs at once, so I’m familiar with managing multiple dogs with different personalities, and busy households. I treat every pet like my own and can’t wait to be their new bestie 😋 I work part-time at Dutch Bros, so my schedule shifts week to week and I don’t have fixed days off. That said, I’m generally very flexible and can definitely work around my shifts to fit in walks and drop ins. Just send me your dates and I’ll let you know what works! 😊 Since I’ll mostly be taking care of pets at your home, I like to stick as close as possible to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, and whatever you’re used to doing. I’m careful about stuff like keeping doors and gates shut, giving meds if needed, and just making sure your pet feels comfortable the whole time. I love sending updates and photos so you’re not stressing while you’re away!
“Sandra was a great fit for cat, Daisy! From our first meet and greet, to all of the daily updates, I felt comforted in leaving our pet in Sandra’s care. She spent time getting to know our cat and Daisy warmed up to her better than any sitter we’ve had before! I will definitely be asking Sandra for help in the future.”
About: I have no special skills per se, just a lot of love for dogs! I grew up with dogs my whole life and don’t currently have any pets, so I am just itching for some doggie time; walking, playing, cuddling, etc. Please let me hang out with your dog! I am free as a bird! I can be available for pretty much anything, any time! My baby naps on the go anywhere. Family dinners every night are our only scheduled event every day :) I live in an apartment that has a little dog area perfect for quick potty breaks, but I am in my 10k steps a day era so I really need a dog buddy to walk with me around the park or the neighborhood! I’m more than happy to take your dog to their favorite dog park too!
About: I have lots experience caring for dogs. I would help my neighbor with feeding, walking, and taking letting them out to potty! I also have had multiple overnight pet sitting jobs. I absolutely love helping take care of pups! I’m currently in college so I have lots of free time to go for walks or come over and play with them! I love physical activity and even more when animals are involved! I always but the dogs safety first! I know how to stay calm in emergency situations and I’m very responsible. I can send updates on the pups well-being however often you would like!
“This is the second time that I have had Lindsey and Levi sit for my pups. I give them the highest recommendation for their promptness and attention to detail. Lindsey has been great with the pictures and building a bond with dogs.”
About: I will look after your little one lovingly and with focused attention. If you are looking for a pet sitter to dote on your pup I'm the right fit for you! They will be the main focus of the time I'm with them and I'm happy to follow any special instructions you might have. I only accept one boarder at a time. Please reach out with any questions. Best, Mel I'm currently available Wed-Sun to do drop in care near Veneta. I'm available for boarding Thurs-Sat. Please message me to see if I'd be a good fit for your fur baby! My home is already very pet safe but if you find you have concerns when we do a meet and greet, I'm open to feedback! Twenty-seven years experience as a caregiver, and many years as a pet parent, has helped me become very aware of safety and it's always a focus and priority.
“Grace was wonderful! My cat was super shy but Grace was patient and also went the extra mile with bringing her treats and helping out with keeping my ac on since the breaker kept switching it off. Great communication from Grace which made my trip that much better knowing my kitty was in great hands. Definitely will book for my next trip and you should too!”
About: I have three beautiful cats at home that are super energetic and snuggly! My family had cats while I was in high school and I love being around all animals! Just moved to Eugene from Tennessee and currently have open availability! I’m an early riser so if you need a dog walked in the morning, I’ve got you! I have a car and am willing to walk or bus as well! Our house is plentiful of cat trees, window perches and tunnels! We give them fresh food and water every day and they all get individualized attention! I will do the exact same for your pets!
About: I am an experienced pet sitter and a true animal lover :) I have provided caring and compassionate pet care for the cats and dogs of my friends, family members and neighbors for several years. Previously, I have worked for a dog-walking agency and have received formal First Aid training in pet care. My work schedule varies day to day, which means our schedule will depend on the day and the service being provided. When I am working from home, I am able to provide frequent potty breaks, tons of play time and scheduled feedings as requested by the humans! If you and pup are interested in long walks and/or outside time, we will make it happen! If your dog is more chill and laid-back, I can provide attentive and gentle care, and relaxation time. I am happy to crate your puppy/dog if requested. For cat owners, I am very cautious moving in and out of an individual’s home - I know from experience that sometimes they try to sneak out the door to explore! I believe a primary component of building trust with a client is consistent communication, so I prioritize keeping owners updated with photos and check-ins throughout the day.
About: Hello! My name is Daniel, and I am an experienced walker and pet sitter in both at-home and daycare environments. I have one dog of my own, Lily, who is a lab-mix rescue. I work best with cats and dogs, but care for other pets as well. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds of dogs and I am experienced with walks, daycare environments, home visits, and overnight stays. I practice and reinforce good walking habits and do what is required to meet a dog's activity and stimulation needs.

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 Elmira 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.
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 Elmira 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Elmira with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
