“Wendy is amazing! She was considerate enough to want to meet prior to sitting with our pup to make sure we were all comfortable. She is genuine, sweet and professional! Thanks so much Wendy!”
“Wonderful! They were so kind , respectful and followed my 2 pages of instructions well. Always updated me with many pictures and words on how copper was doing. I was very very scared to leave my dog and they put my mind at ease in more than one way ! Highly recommend.”
“MacKinley did a nice job with our needy cat. She commented with me several times to check in with my preferences. Lucy was happy when we got home. She even left food that my cat likes since she couldn’t use it for her own anymore. Thanks Mackinley!”

“This was my first time using a house sitter and Hannah was fantastic! She kept in contact with me and sent pictures of my fur babies. If I need a drop-in or house sitting again, I will be scheduling with her. 😊 Thank you, Hannah!”
About: I have had dogs as a family pet since 2008. Currently have 2 dogs who are very loved and spoiled to death 😊 I started off dog sitting for a family member in 2019 with a senior dog, and then a puppy a couple years later. I have also house/pet sit for a family friend for the past few years as well. They have 4 dogs (ranging from 15 lbs to 100+ lbs) and 3 cats. I have a good rapport with both groups and can provide references if needed! I also have experience with sitting a 1 cat household as well for one of my friends. In my household, my sisters and I have potty-trained and skill-trained every one of our family pets (we have had 4 now). I have experience with giving pets medications as they need following the owner’s specific instructions. Lastly, I have walked dogs of all kinds of sizes (miniature pinscher all the way to a Great Pyrenees). I look forward to helping you with your pet needs!! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday from 10am-7pm. I work at a pretty lenient place that gives me lunch breaks up to an hour and a half long, so in the past if a pet I have watched needs a potty break midday, I can go back on my lunch break to do so. I have availability after getting off from this job as well, so I can accommodate to late nights as well. I don’t work weekends there so I have pretty much open availability every weekend. 😊 I currently live at home with my parents and sisters, so I do not offer pet sitting at my home at this time. I have pet sat for people in different home styles (apartment, single-level home with small yard, two-story home with big yard). I have always followed every owner’s instructions and rules to a T. Every owner has loved my care with their pets and continues to put their trust in me to this day. I have several references that I can provide if needed!
About: I’m 24 years old, im a part time stna and part time dog sitter! Im a pet owner, I’ve grew up with pets my entire life. I grew up with cats, dogs, fish, goats. I love to care for animals/ people who can’t take care/speak for themselves😇 I currently work a part time, night shift job during the week Tuesday-Thursday. I am available on weekends at ANY TIME for boarding, house sitting or drop-in visits. And during the week I am also available any time after 9am! For any pet they need to be fed, bathed, time to play, let outside to potty and just be a nice companion to them everyday. I’m a pet owner myself so I already do the everyday chores/ needs that are needed for care. It’s been a lifelong routine of mine that I’m accustomed to.
“Mark was wonderful with our Loki and made both him and us very comfortable while we were gone. He communicated frequently and sent us pictures everyday. This was our first experience with rover and we couldn’t have asked for better. Will be using him again without a doubt!”
About: My name is Allison and I am "pet parent" to my two rescue dogs, Macy and Mia! In addition to caring for my own animals (both age 10), I have experience with drop-in visits, walking, and extended stays with repeat clients. I have completed several training sessions with my dogs, and Macy passed the Canine Good Citizen test. I also have a personal interest in learning more about animal communication and body language, and I am always looking for innovative ways to train and keep my own dogs engaged in a fun activity. I have a full time job working from home, so I do have some flexibility in my schedule to help care for your animal! Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority and I will do my best to make them feel as comfortable while you're gone! I may also send one too many pictures to keep you updated! 😁 I work from home full-time but I am free many weekends or random days! Please always check if I am not listed because I may be able to accommodate! I will follow your pet’s routines to the best of my ability. I will keep a watchful eye on them whenever they’re outside or out of the room. I make sure to follow a family’s safety protocols and ask for as many details as possible.
“Austin was very reliable and sent photos throughout the weekend. Our dog loves to snuggle and Austin spent plenty of time with him and took him for a walk. I would recommend Austin!”
“Where do I start?!?! Bobbie was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! Not only did I get daily updates. I came home at two a beautifully cleaned house and sweet gifts left for my children. My kids loved Bobbie just as much as my dogs did!! I have a very scared/reactive dog and Bobbie handled him with ease. Her knowledge for all things dogs was amazing and I have never felt so comfortable leaving my dogs. Definitely will be using Bobbie again! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOBBIE FOR ANY OF YOUR PET NEEDS!!”
About: My first job growing up was working for my aunts Dog Grooming Business. With that experience, I am able to bathe, trim, nails, and give haircuts to most breeds. I have been watching dogs for family and friends most of my adult life either in Home or at their home. I enjoy being outside taking dogs on walks in nature & letting them sniff all the smells. I currently work from home and I’m the owner of my business so my time is very flexible. I am able to go to homes or watch pets in my home during the day and nights. My home has a large unfenced yard with a woods where we are able to go on walks and explore. I have two dogs in my home and they are part of my family. I do have crates in home if needed, but rarely use them. Both of my dogs are rescues currently so I do like to have a meeting before if a dog will be staying in our home. If I’m watching the pet in your home, I will come over as much as needed and even stay the night if that is necessary.
About: I have cared for my own animals since I was 7 years old! I know how Important your furry family mean to you,so why not have someone that loves and cares for animals just as much! I have a 2 year old blue heeler mixed, pitbul, and 3 wonderful cats! So no dog or cat is nor big or small. I love them all the same as my own. I have decided to make sitting your pets my highest priority and have officially made pet sitting a full time job I am available anytime of the day! I am very confident with kenneling a dog as I have to with mine! Love to give lots of cuddles for those who may need that extra attention!
“Wow, what can I say besides, Amber was excellent! This was our first time ever leaving our pet, and she made me feel safe and secure that Lacey was going to be taken care of. We needed to be gone for an extra day, she was OK with staying last minute with no questions asked. She kept my house clean, watered my flowers, and even fed my cat as an extra. Pictures and communication was sent multiple times throughout the day as requested. We can’t thank you enough for the sense of security while we were gone. Will definitely be booking with Amber again!”
About: My experience: I love all animals and have experience with a variety of pets including dogs, cats, reptiles, and rabbits. There's no dog or cat I don't want to pet and play with! Through a past job I had to interact with a lot of dogs in people's homes and I am good about making them feel calm and earning their trust. I have trained three puppies in my life (Mae, Rosie and Luna). I also do well with cats, even difficult ones. My family adopted a stray cat (Maggie) - She was a bit aggressive and never warmed up to anyone in the house but me. I had a bearded dragon (Lizardie McLizardton) in my twenties. He never seemed to like people much, but he tolerated me and it was fun to make him elaborate large play houses. I understand how small animals have different needs than cats and dogs. I currently have a Bunny (Bernie). I give him a nice comfortable place to live and lots of play time. I've been able to earn his trust over time and he even grooms my head from time to time. Schedule*: Daytime: I am almost always available to do a walk or drop-in during the day on weekdays. Mornings: Usually available for walks and drop-ins after 9-10am Evenings and weekends: My schedule varies, but I am often available on evenings and weekends. *If I'm house sitting, I will make myself available for the times your pet needs. In your home I can make sure your pet feels comfortable. I am patient and I am conscious of things that may agitate them. I am unable to board a pet at this time.
About: I have been house sitting for 9 years and have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility for 5 years. I've had my experience with horses, chickens, and lizards as well. I have a very detailed and organized schedule that I will always work in things or around anything I absolutely need too. If I ever say no it's only the times I won't absolutely have the time. I do have a Shiba puppy who LOVES dogs so if you ever want a play date he is always willing. I don't have the space for animal care in my own place but I always make sure to treat your home as my own and clean up after myself and will even clean anything needed. Also if ever you have an issue with anything (concerns, pricing, or anything) don't every hesitant to contact me i try to work whatever I can with anyone.

FAQs for House Sitting - Elmore
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Elmore on Rover is $27.75 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 313 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.

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.
