“Joyce came to my home to sit with my two dogs for about 6 hours. One of my dogs is extremely afraid of rainy weather and that is why I needed a sitter. Joyce will be my first choice for a dog sitter in the future. She responded quickly to my request, got here several minutes before she was due, and stayed a few minutes after my initial time estimate. My dogs were very happy with her and she sent me pictures of both of them cuddled in her lap. She has a very quiet manner to which the dogs responded well. I can't say enough good things about my experience with Joyce!”
“Sally is wonderful! Our three dogs run to greet her when she comes to watch them for us. She communicates with us everyday we are away and lets us know how our dogs are doing. She sends pictures of our pets daily which helps me not miss them as much when we are away. She graciously checked our mail, brought in packages that were delivered and even took the trash can to the curb for us on trash day. I always use Sally and highly recommend her for dog sitting. She is an angel and will love and care for your pets as if they are her own.”
“They did the job taken care of my dog. I left my house spotless and my dogs were happy. I will definitely use them again. They are five star in my book. A really nice home and star linens and towels.”
About: "I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets..." I have a special place in my heart for special needs animals and rescue's. I work from home so I am here all day with my dog Hope. The more the merrier! I have a passion for dog's an enjoy all their quirky personalities. I have a fenced back yard and doggie door I can use if needed so they can roam around. Hope and I go for walks in the mornings and I can accommodate that as well.
“Savannah was fantastic house sitting not 1 but all 3 of my puppers! I have three big pups, over 300 lbs of dog, and she was great with all of them, taking care of my old guy's needs, and sending me pictures of the relaxed doggos. Couldn't recommend any higher!”
“Very friendly, professional and punctual.She went above and beyond. Felt at ease knowing she was watching my pups. Will definitely be contacting her again when I travel. My dogs responded to her well. Definitely recommend!”
“Morgan was awesome! She was so sweet and easy going. We ended up being gone longer than expected and she stayed longer than she had too and it was so much appreciated. Our doxies loved her and even whined when she left. We will definitely use Morgan again!!”
“This was our second time using Tracy and he was just as fantastic this time. We had an overnight trip and needed someone to stay in our home with our dog and two cats and he kept us updated and the pets were happy and safe with him there. I would definitely book Tracy again in the future.”
About: Growing up, my father used to breed Mastiffs and Pitt Bulls, so I am no stranger to large breeds. Since I was 16, I have taken care of multiple large families of dogs, horses, cats, etc, so even a farm full of animals is no challenge. I have 2 pups of my own; a pit bull/lab and an aussie/healer who I have had for 6 years. Any amount, any size, any breed; I will take care of yours like they’re my own. I work full time Monday-Friday, 6:30am-3:15pm. I am an early riser so I can feed pets before work and will be available for walks and feedings after work as well. I will feed your animals to your specifications. With a fenced in yard, I will ensure I spend time with your pet outdoors playing, doing basic training if necessary, and ensuring physical activity as I do with my dogs. If I am watching them overnight, they will get at least one walk a day, and more if required.
About: I love dogs, and I get along well with people everyone tends to like me. I grew up around dogs, and at home we had three Golden Retrievers.

“Justyce did a great job with our pets. They seemed tired out when we got home. Even with a small scheduling mistake they were willing to work with us to take care of all of our animals.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Elmore on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 110 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Elmore. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Elmore walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Elmore maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Elmore 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
