“Lori is my favorite sitter on this app. She's great with my cats, clearly loves animals. Excellent communicator, she gives me total peace of mind when I'm out of town that my cats are being well looked after.”
“Celeste was so sweet! We felt very comfortable having her watch our cat while we were out of town. She was super accommodating and we loved the photos that she sent us. We will definitely book with Celeste again.”
“Elizabeth is super sweet and respectful of how you would like your dog to be cared for. She was great with our very rambunctious Great Dane/Lab puppy who is still leash training, and even played around in the snow with him! We will definitely be using her in the future for drop in visits and overnights. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.”
“Adam was great with our dog and cat. He made sure to get all the important details on our pets care and made sure they had everything they needed. Our pets were well taken care of while we were gone. Would recommend and plan to use Adam in the future!”
“Brittany was very dependable and checked in on my cat every day. She also brought our packages inside when we were out of town. I definitely recommend booking for any of your pet sitting needs!! 😊”
About: Since I've graduated college, I've gotten to love on 3 different types of dogs. One with an easy-going temperament that eventually passed due to kidney cancer and hip osteoarthritis. Another that is the typical sweet pittie that only wants love and kisses. And the last, raised since a 4-month-old puppy, an energetic and playful little devil that keeps me on my toes. I've navigated caring for a senior dog with toileting issues while raising and training a puppy at the same time. I love dogs and am better when I am with one. I'm currently working PRN (as needed) and have more time throughout the day to stop in and assist with pet care. I want to fill my day with meeting and loving on as many dogs as possible! I have a fenced yard and 2 energetic but playful and social dogs at home. I know the Lafreniere dog park very well and take my dogs there often. While I am not the best at training, I can utilize simple commands that have been taught and know my way around crates, pee pads, and dog toys.
About: I have been having pets pretty much my whole life. I grew up with two cats and two dogs. I now have 3 dogs and 2 cats now. I love my babies they are my world. I do work full time. I feed my cats twice a day. Once in the morning and then once in the evening. They also get snacks throughout the evening and during the day when I’m not at work. I have a fenced in yard. My cats are inside cats but of course my dogs go in the back yard. I do have bulldogs so they don’t stay out long, it’s too hot for them in the summer. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats myself and they all get along.
“Mitchell was the perfect choice. He kept us updated of every detail with our pups. I highly recommend Mitchell for booking and will for sure share his service with my peers. Thanks again.”
“Ashley was amazing with our pups. Always on time and extremely attentive. She went above and beyond with both pets and pictures. Will definitely be a repeat customer!”
About: Ive pet sit since I was 14, both paid and unpaid, and I love it! I have experience with difficult dogs/cats (multiple high energy pups in one home) and a moody pet does not scare me off. Currently, 30 hours, of my week (~5hrs a day) is spent at my job at a cafe. Outside of that I can fit your fur baby into my schedule before or after work or on my off days! I never work late and my schedule is very flexible Being able to read the body language of your pup/kitty is a crucial skill that I have a lot of experience in. Being in your home, I know Im in their space
“Lindsey was very dependable. The dogs seemed to love her. I enjoyed knowing my dogs were being cared for in my home. I would definitely use Lindsey as my dog sitter in the future.”
“Faith took great care of my two senior cats while I was away. She also brought in mail/packages and provided great communication. I would not hesitate to use her again!”
“Can’t say enough about how pleased I am with Laura’s service! I received prompts notifications about when she was going to see Blue and received pictures with every visit! I could tell clearly that Blue had a great time each day when she was visiting! Knowing that Blue was having a good time every day made it so much easier to be away on my work trip. I will absolutely be rebooking her again on my next trip!”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life From Jack Russel’s to Great Danes. I’ve volunteered at vets and shelters and provided care for sick and elderly pets. I have pet sat for years and enjoy providing company and comfort to pets when their owners are away/busy. I work from home full time so have a huge flexibility on my ability to take care of pets or work from other locations if needed! I have a large yard with a brand new and secure fence. I have a well trained and friendly dog and two cats that are super friendly!
About: Family and friends have trusted me to take care of their fur babies and homes while they're away, by keeping up with their pets' routines and caring for them like they're my own. I bring a calming energy that animals easily take to. I currently care for both dogs and cats. I'm currently in between jobs and doing sitting for friends and family. I have a lot of free time around appointments to provide care, check-ins, and sittings for your pets! While caring for pets at a clients home, I ensure that the pets stay on their routine and get lots of love. I provide reliable care for not only pets but also the homes.
About: I have 2 dogs, a boxer named Goose that is a rescue and a lemon beagle. I love all animals and I will treat your dog or cat like it’s my own. I have a very flexible schedule. Im employed under contract basis and I’m working on a special project is which allows for very flexible availability. I’m available for feedings, play time, long walks or just to spend time with your animal. I love to cuddle or play indoors or outdoors
“Lydia was awesome, she cared for our senior dog Bella. She sent detailed communication about her drop in with Bella and made my husband and I feel at ease when we were gone. We will continue to use Lydia’s services, 5 stars!”
About: I have volunteered for Zeus's Rescues walking dogs for three years. I previously owned two shetland sheepdogs for several years! There is nothing, absolutely nothing, in this world that is better than spoiling a dog or having extended playtime with a dog or pet. I am always reachable, overly communicative, and reliable in an emergency. My schedule is very open right now and I expect to be working part time soon. I look forward to communicating with you and your pet about your schedule and your needs. I can comfortably handle any breed or any size pet! I am offering dog walking, drop in visits for your pet, and house sitting. I am comfortable with and proficient at: measuring and feeding the proper amount of food, making sure your pets stay hydrated, administering the right amount of medication, taking care of your home while you're away, (I'm a homeowner myself,) playing with your pet, tiring out your pet, reducing your pet's stress, giving love and affection to your pet, and taking your pet to the vet in the event of an emergency.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elmwood
Payton was phenomenal! Great to work with, fully trustworthy, showed up at the requested times and went above and beyond what I ever expected. I honestly think my dog was disappointed to see me and not her when I got home. There isn’t enough stars to show I much I appreciate Payton and her service. Will use her again!! (If not my dog may run away to go find her)
Mitchell attentively cared for my dogs over a hurricane weekend. He was very dependable, trustworthy, and went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were safe. The gate blew open and he contacted me immediately to let me know he resecured the gate so the dogs would not escape. He showed up on time and performed tasks efficiently. I appreciate and trust Mitchell with my pups.
I highly recommend Elizabeth as a pet sitter. She was so sweet to my cat Kiki and cared for her as if she were her own. She played with her just as I asked her to and did everything else I asked her to. She is so nice and I trust her. She is my first choice for any pet sitting needs in the future. With her my mind is at peace and i know Kiki will be just fine. Thanks again Elizabeth. I hope you'll be able to pet sit Kiki again.
We had such an amazing experience with Olivia while we were away on our honeymoon! She was incredible with administering our cat’s daily eye medication and spent so much time playing with and loving on our fur baby while we were gone. The daily report cards and photos gave us so much peace of mind and truly reassured us that our cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for back at home. We are so grateful for the attention, communication, and care she provided and would absolutely book with her again!
It was a wonderful experience having Karen walk my dog. She was great and trustworthy.she sent me pictures and videos on their walk which I was so happy to see. She was patient and spent extra time with my dog so he was comfortable since it was their first time. Will definitely be using her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Elmwood is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,187 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elmwood. 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
