“They were both awesome!! We were coming from out of town so naturally nervous to leave our dog, but they were so comfortable with him. It was obvious they have dealt with a lot of different temperaments and were super communicative and sent lots of great pics!”
“Molly usually goes to doggy daycare when I go out of town and staff says she seems sad and prefers to be alone. For at least a day after getting her home she won't eat and obsessively follows me around. This time she was happy and excited when I got there. She's eating fine, and has been contently sleeping. I think she enjoyed hanging out with people instead of a bunch of other dogs. I greatly appreciate Cecilia making Molly part of their family while I was out of town. In a few weeks she's staying with her again and it will be nice not to have to worry about whether she's having fun or not.”
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!
“10/10 experience- I will for sure board with Joshua again! Great communication with updates and pics. They took care of my golden for six days/nights while I was out of state. This was a great fit for my dog to be able to play and use all of his energy. Highly recommend”
“Jennifer and Josh were great! They welcomed my pup into their home and made him a part of their family! They have a big beautiful (and secure) backyard and even let Marley cuddle in their bed like he does at home. Highly recommend for your small sized grownup pups!”
“Jonathan gave great care to our girls and he provided excellent communication. It is such peace of mind to have someone who cares looking after our girls when we need to be away.”
“Caitlin was easy to communicate with, and her house is perfect for pet sitting, replete with a grassy backyard and dog door. Comfy, clean, welcoming environment. You can tell she really cares for the pets in her charge. Future repeat customer!”
“Joseph was excellent—my pups were very happy. He provided photos and a perfect environment for my furry family. Cooper and Gracie returned completely contented. II highly recommend Joseph.”
“Brandy is loving and caring for our pooches. She is very sweet and accommodating and our dogs had a great time staying with her and playing with her own dogs in the yard. Would recommend.”
“Shay was great to work with! Dennis had a great weekend and I got regular updates and pictures on how he was doing! Would definitely use her again in the future. Thanks for taking such great care of our Dennis:)”
“Julie was super sweet and accommodating to Juniper and made her feel right at home. We appreciate her flexibility and taking extra special care of Juniper by playing fetch and filling up the dog pool for her to play in. ?”
“Valerie’s home environment is perfect for our four-legged friends. My almost 2 year-old dog enjoyed his stay with Valerie and her daughter and the other dogs that she watches immensely. He came home happy and tired after playing with the other dogs for three days I am so glad that we got hooked up with Valerie‘s home 😃 Our dog he had a perfect time”
“Our dogs love, Tori! Her fenced back yard is like a giant playground for our Lab (who loves Tori’s sweet girl, Mona!) and is easy for our older dog to get around in, as well. They were so excited when we pulled in for our second visit that I couldn’t get the leash off our dog before she and Mona were off and playing! We’re looking forward to the next over night visit while we’re on vacation. Such peace of mind to know they’re in a safe and loving environment while we’re away! Thank you, Tori!!”
“Dominique and Josiah were amazing, they took such great care of my dog and 2 bunnies for more days then planned due to unforeseen circumstances, alleviating my stress about getting home asap. I will happily ask them again in the future, and hope they will take us, they really went above and beyond, Thank you both from the bottom of my heart!”
“Sarah and Anthony were the perfect sitters for our little dog. They also have a big dog and small dog to keep her company. Their house is very dog friendly as are they, thank you so much for taking such good care of her and sending pictures. This experience could not have been better!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elmira
Malaia is the best sitter I have ever had. She kept me continuously updated on the care of my senior dog. She kept reassuring me that my fur baby was in good hands. My dog liked her and her fur babies from the moment they first met. I will let her keep my dog again very soon. I really like that the dogs have a nice yard to play in. She followed my instructions of giving my dog his food and medicine very well.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 290 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Elmira. About 91% of Elmira sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.
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 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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
