“Not only did Elyssa answer a last minute request for help, she went above and beyond. My senior dog had an accident and she was quick to help get it cleaned up. My dogs have weird food requests, and she didn’t even give it a second thought. I so appreciate Elyssa and the help she was able to offer me, and the love she showed my sweet boys!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for them like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic pups who need plenty of playtime to older dogs who prefer a little extra patience and attention. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and lots of love and cuddles. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I recently stepped away from the corporate world to take a break and enjoy a slower pace of life, which means I have very open and flexible availability! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays. I’d love to spend some of that extra time caring for your pups! I have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for running, playing, and exploring, plus a pool if your pup enjoys swimming! I also have three sweet, friendly dogs who love having new friends to play with. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“Fiona is absolutely amazing!! She handled our high energy dog with so much care, & took initiative to schedule a meet and greet ahead of time/ & offered to take him for a walk as well! Highly recommend!!”
“Jennifer did a great job watching over my three dogs and made sure to follow their special instructions with no problems. She was on time for each drop-in and helped me to have a stress-free time away.”
“Great care of my cats. Very responsive through Rover app. Always on time. My cats are not stressed with her. Will always use her when available. Leaves cat area extremely neat & clean.”
About: I have extensive experience with pets from doggy daycares to grooming shops to vet clinics. I have been pet sitting and grooming for the last 10 years. My home is basically for my furr babies. They're allowed on the furniture even though they have 5 of their own beds and 4 little hidey houses. They literally have over 100 toys, all kinds, that they are willing to share with any pup they welcome in here. The house is theirs, I just live here and clean up after them. I work from home and I have classes that are mostly online so, I am home basically all day. I'll be able to watch the dogs all day and I let them go outside about every hour or so to go potty. I have a fenced in yard with a few chickens in the yard. I have an above ground pool with a floating doggy dock to make it easy for them to get out of the pool if they ever jump in but its usually closed off unless it is being actively used. I have 2 friendly shih tzu sisters that are spoiled rotten and 2 little kittens that love playing with the dogs. Dogs can go on all furniture and there are plenty of toys to play with. There are a bunch of dog beds and comfy spots for them to chill inside.
About: I have a deep love for animals and will ensure that your pets enjoy their stay!! 😁 It is an honor to serve you and to look after your pets. I am at home full time during the week so I am flexible to give the quality care and devotion that pets deserve. Feel free to ask about my schedule I have a nice fenced backyard and plenty of room indoors. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walking dogs. There are parks close by as well.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I first learned to walk, from high-energy pups to mellow seniors. Whether your fur baby is a playful adventurer or a cozy couch potato, I tailor my care to their vibe. I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and way too many photos (you’ll get daily updates, promise 📸🐾). I offer in-home boarding in a calm, clean, dog-friendly space—think soft blankets, good energy, and lots of tail wags. If your dog is a little anxious, picky, or just needs that gentle feminine touch, you’ve found the right sitter. I have two sons that love dogs just as much as I do, and they help make our home feel warm, loving, and welcoming for every pup. ✅ I’m available for meet and greets always. ✅ Special needs, shy and senior friendly! ✅ Puppy friendly!! My vibe is grounded, nurturing, and detail-oriented—but also fun. I’ll send updates, stick to your dog’s routine, and make sure they feel totally loved while you’re away. Let’s connect! Your pet deserves nothing less than intentional care from someone who adores what they do 💕 As a stay-at-home mom, my days naturally revolve around care, connection, and consistency—so adding pets into that rhythm feels seamless. I’m already tuned in to routines like morning walks, mealtimes, and keeping a calm, nurturing environment. Whether it’s letting a pup sunbathe while I sip coffee or sneaking in cuddles during nap time, animals easily become part of the flow. I love the energy they bring to the house—whether playful or peaceful—and I’m always present to notice what they need. Pets fit right into our home like family, and caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s just another way I get to show up with love and intention each day. When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and right at home. I follow their routines closely—whether that’s specific feeding times, medications, or extra snuggles before bed. I have a secure, fully fenced-in yard where dogs can play, sniff, and stretch their legs freely under my supervision. Inside, they’ll find cozy spaces to relax and lots of attention throughout the day. I treat every pet like part of the family, tuning into their needs and making sure they’re comfortable, engaged, and always cared for with kindness and patience.
“Ellen did an awesome job and went above and beyond while caring for my fur babies!!! She is wonderful and pleasant and all around a good fit for caring for your fur babies!!!”
About: What sets me apart? Simple — I believe pets deserve more than just someone to watch them. They deserve genuine love, patience, attention, and a little extra spoiling! I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and unique needs. Whether your furry friend is full of playful energy, a little shy, or simply enjoys a peaceful environment, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive, dependable, and big on communication! You can expect updates, adorable pictures, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and tails that wag every time I return! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m available seven days a week after 2 PM, allowing me to dedicate my afternoons and evenings to providing your furry family members with the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s afternoon walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply keeping your pet company, I strive to make every visit enjoyable and stress-free. I understand how important consistency and trust are when choosing someone to care for your pet. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care while giving you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in loving hands! 🐾❤️ I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re in my home or their own familiar surroundings. When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining their normal routines, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection! I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I adjust my approach to match their comfort level, energy, and individual needs. When visiting a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and committed to following all care instructions closely. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and making sure pets receive the attention they deserve. Communication is just as important to me as quality care! I provide updates and pictures so pet parents can relax knowing their furry family members are happy and in good hands.

“We had a great experience! Angelica did an amazing job taking care of the dogs and even brought our packages inside. We really appreciated her help and would absolutely recommend her. Thank you for taking such great care of everything!”
About: I’ve helped train your German shepherd’s and they are the sweetest babies ever. Very well behaved and I also have a lot of patience for dogs especially puppies. I have a senior dog and also know the extra care that comes with having one. I’m a full time nail technician and stylist, meaning I have such a flexible schedule and if you need me to take care of your baby during the day I can always run and do so during my breaks. My work schedule at the salon is Tuesday-Saturday I can easily take your fur babies on walks, put them in their crate if needed feed them and also give them cuddles and rubs whenever they need them
About: I've grown up around animals from cats and dogs to cows and horses. Big or small, I love them all. Outside of my own, I've been taking care of animals for the past 15+ years. You won't have to question if your pet is okay, because I communicate as much or as little as you prefer. The main thing I have to schedule around is my once a month weekend training. Other than that, I will be clear on my availability so that you don't have to question if I'm available or not. I live with a large dog, 2 medium dogs, and a cat of my own, so I'm okay with variety. If you have specific conditions or instructions for your pet, I will follow them to the T to ensure your pet is getting the best care.
“Amber is the best and cares for my girl so well. Julia is an anxious pup who loves people and amber makes sure to spend lots of time and cuddles with her. She is very personable and respectful of your home! If you need a dog sitter, I recommend!”
“Charlene is terrific! So patient and kind with my two crazy dogs. Couldn’t ask for a better, more loving person to check in on them. She has been more than willing to spend time with my large dog who has terrible anxiety and isn’t great with strangers but he took to her immediately which is how I knew I made the right choice when choosing her as a sitter. So thankful we found her!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets when I used to live in Hawaii since I was 15. And would often give them baths, walk them, and feed them. I’m currently part time which means I’ll have plenty of time to take care of pets as well as take them on walks or to the park. I’ll often take them on a walk in the morning. I’ll feed them breakfast if that’s in their routine. Play with them in my apartment and then take them out again in the afternoon. I’ll then feed them dinner around 6-7 and then take them out once more.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals and the care I bring to every dog I meet. Growing up, I spent years volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I learned how to work with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. More recently, I cared for my own senior dog, Oatmeal, through his cancer journey, which taught me even more about patience, compassion, and the importance of making every dog feel safe and loved. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them that way. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they receive personalized attention and care while you're away. As mentioned above, I have personal experience with dogs with medical needs. This includes dogs with amputated limbs or dogs that have a strict schedule for medicine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so I’m available to watch dogs for weekends or extended weekends! We have no pets in the home and are able to watch multiple dogs at a time. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space for your dogs to run! With easy access to walking trails, I am happy to take your dogs for walks during the day to try to stick to their normal routine. I also have dog beds, toys, and food and water bowls available to use.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,747 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elmo. 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 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 Elmo. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
