“Alecia is amazing. She is great with my kitties, attentive to detail, and communicates about what is going on with them. She stayed here for four days, and I came back to a home that was as clean as when I left it. Thank you, Alecia! I was lucky to find her through Rover and hope she can help next time I travel!”
“We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our pet sitter! She cared for our two dogs and our cat over a long weekend, and from start to finish, the experience was absolutely incredible. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease. She is warm, professional, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. While we were away, she kept us updated with thoughtful messages and the sweetest photos, which meant so much to us. It was obvious our pets were not only being well cared for — they were happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable in her care. Our dogs can be a handful at times, and our cat definitely has her own personality, but she handled everything with patience, attentiveness, and so much kindness. She followed all instructions perfectly and treated our home with great respect. Coming home to calm, content pets (and a tidy house!) made all the difference. It’s such a gift to travel knowing your animals are in loving, capable hands. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter. She is truly the best! 🐾💛”
“Elizabeth house sat our two boy cats Finn and Fitz over the Christmas break and was absolutely wonderful! We got amazing pictures and updates that made us feel at ease while we were away. Before Elizabeth left she went above and beyond and cleaned practically our whole house which was very sweet and appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her in the future!”
“Marlena always does an amazing job taking care of Daisy and Winnie! She provides frequent updates/pictures, and follows all of the instructions/requests very well. We always feel that our fur babies are in great hands while in Marlena’s care. Thanks so much for everything Marlena!”
“Ann has always been great with my girls! She watched them a few years ago and has recently returned to keep them again. We will definitely continue using her! She always communicates and sends pictures often!”
“Could not ask for a better pet sitter, Bethany took exceptional care of our two dogs while we were on a four day trip. Kept us continually updated, Porche and Lexi were in great hands, loved the care she provided and Bethany kept us updated on their status throughout. Her attention to details and care of both pets and home were exceptional. We will be a repeat customer - Thank You”
“lux watched our 3 small dogs (one being senior) for about a week in our home (this is the second time he has helped us)! lux was great and is our favorite go to dog sitter! I received updates on the dogs which gave great piece of mind. I came home to my home as I left it [which was very nice knowing my dogs are not good at going to the bathroom outside when we are away] lux spent quality time with my dogs and their needs. I definitely felt like the investment in lux being here while we were gone was well worth it!”
“This was our first time with Nikka watching our dog in our home but definitely won’t be the last. She was amazing! She was very responsive, kept us updated on all that was happening, and sent lots of photos. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Thank you Nikka!”
“Christiane was absolutely amazing! By far the best sitter we have found on Rover - and that’s saying something! We came home to a clean home and a happy dog! Plus received the sweetest updates and photos during her stay. Do not hesitate to book Christiane!”
“Emma is amazing! She cared for our girl like she was her own and helped us out on short notice. Our dog has separation anxiety and was right at home with Emma. We hope to have her back again soon.”
“This was my first booking with Rover and if Tonia is an example of the quality and compassionate pet sitters....we will be back! Tonia was prompt, kind, attentive and a life-saver (last minute scheduling request). We couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you Tonia and Rover! From Tucker's mom & dad.”
“Brook was super helpful, picking up a house sitting request on only a few days notice. She made time for a meet and greet before hand and took great care of Lottie.”
“Gabby was great with our dog, she took great care of him and our house! The house was spotless on our return, and our normally anxious dog seemed as happy as usual which was a relief for us. She was very quick with communicating, we would definitely have Gabby sit for us again.”
“Edith is a very conscientious young woman. She takes care of pets as though they are her own! You can count on her good judgment to handle any issues with the pets or even house issues. We feel blessed to have found her!!”
“This was our first experience hiring a pet sitter and we couldn’t be more pleased with Jessalyn! Our pets were very well taken care of! We have already scheduled with her for next month. Thanks, Jessalyn!”
“Megan and Lee stayed with our pups for an extended timeframe and did a terrific job caring for them. One is a senior dog and the other a needy Velcro dog and we felt very comfortable with the care they provided. We would use them again. They also took care of miscellaneous house stuff that popped up while we were gone. Great communication.”
“Audrey was fantastic. Both our dogs loved her. She arrived promptly, was profession, and very friendly. She was amendable to help keep the dogs on their routines. She provided updates as well. This was our first time using Rover and Audrey has sold us on the service. We will definitely be booking her again for our dog sitting needs.”
“Tiffany did a great job communicating with us about our dogs along with pictures several times a day. She communicated if there were issues. I would highly recommend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elmwood Place
Alecia is an absolutely incredible dog sitter. She kept me regularly informed of how Bobbis day went and sent lots of pics. In addition she left the house in immaculate condition and Bobbi seemed incredibly chilled and relaxed when I got home. Bobbi also has some special requirements due to previous health injuries and again she accommodated these so well. A huge thank you Alecia.
Christopher was wonderful! It was our first time ever using Rover and we were a bit nervous to give it a try. Christopher made us feel comfortable from the minute he stepped in for our meet and greet. He sends so many pictures and is very communicative which is great. Highly recommend and will be using him again in the future. Thank you Christopher!
Patrice was awesome! She came for a meet and greet and the dogs loved her from the start. On the day we left she arrived on time and communicated frequently and effectively. We appreciated the photos and messages she sent and the dogs were happy. We will definitely ask her to watch them again!
Brooke was absolutely wonderful! My dog can be a nervous gentleman, and he took to Brooke immediately during both the intro visit and when they arrived prior to our deprture. They were on time, communicative, flexible, and thoughtful in their care of my big man. They sorted through all of my doofus' oddities with ease. I feel *so* fortunate to have found them and look forward to being able to travel in the future knowing Marv is in the best hands!
Carson was great with our golden retriever puppy, Wilson! He was super responsive and frequently sent me photo updates during his stay. We were so lucky to have found Carson for our last minute trip out of town - I know Wilson had a great time and would highly recommend booking with him!
Olivia was wonderful with our two dogs. One of them unexpectedly needed medication during the time we were going to be on vacation and Olivia had no problem accommodating us at the last minute. Knowing that she was taking great care not only of our dogs, but of our house as well, gave us the peace of mind to be able to actually enjoy our time away. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Highly recommended! Teagan did a fantastic job taking care of our house with 2 dogs and 2 cats. Including 1 very high energy dog! She went above and beyond, kept us updated frequently, and made sure all 4 pets had plenty of attention and their needs met. Thanks so much!

FAQs for House Sitting - Elmwood Place
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Elmwood Place on Rover is $29.96 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,368 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Elmwood Place. 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 Elmwood Place 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 Elmwood Place 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 Elmwood Place 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 with handling special pet needs in Elmwood Place. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
