“We could not have asked for a better and more responsive person to watch our dog than Bethany! She kept us fully updated the entire weekend we were gone and sent us so so so many amazing photos. This was our first time leaving our senior dog in a very long time, and we were really anxious about being away from him, but the minute she got to our house I felt at ease and knew he was in the best possible hands. She loved our old guy as much as we do! I would book Bethany over and over and over again if I could!”

“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!”

“Katie was amazing with our 2 shepherds. We know they can be a handful but she made us feel comfortable leaving them in her care for the weekend. She sent lots of pictures and updates to put our minds at ease and gave them all the play, treats, and attention they asked for! Definitely will book with Katie again next time we are out of town.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds - I have experience in dog-walking, dog and cat sitting and basic care. I treat them as if they’re my own by giving them all the attention they need. They are my top priority when they’re in my care! I am available for dog-walking most late afternoons.

About: I have been a passionate pet owner and caretaker since I was 9 years old. Growing up with dogs and now the owner of two cats, I learned early on how to understand their body language and fun personalities. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy or a calm senior cat, I treat every animal like family. I currently work a full time job, but I only go into the office twice a week. I am available to work from your home if needed to provide company to your pet. I am also available for morning and evening feeding, as well as weekend visits too. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I strictly follow instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise. I send daily photo updates and messages through Rover to give owners peace of mind. I also respect the home by cleaning up after the pets, keeping the space tidy, and following all household rules.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and even got to foster! Experience leash-training a mid-sized dog when my parents first adopted. Also assisted in daily care and leash-training for a large Pit Bull mix. Regular pet sitter and dog walker for an older Dachshund/Chihuahua mix that doesn't play well with others. Regular house and pet sitter for two mixed house cats with lots of personality. Experience delivering medications via oral syringe as well as pills/pellets with/without food. Beyond pet sitting and walking, I'm a big fan of play time for all pets and am happy to help get there play time in and energy out! My current schedule is very flexible, especially on weekdays. Upon any changes in my long-term availability, I'll be sure to update this description. Let me know if you need more routine/long-term care. I pet-sit for others in their homes regularly and I'm also happy to come by and take your pet for a walk. I currently do not offer my own boarding for any pets.
“Andrea watched our lab and two cats while we were gone for a couple of nights. They were in amazing hands! Knowing our boys were being so well cared for meant we could actually relax on our trip. She’s an amazing communicator and sends the best pictures. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter. Thank you so much, Andrea!”
About: I have cared for dogs as long as I can remember ! I’ve never lived in a home where there isn’t some type of four legged friend around! I myself have 2 German Shepards who I have trained myself. I have experience with puppies, older dogs who need a little more attention, reactive dogs, everything under the sun truly ! I work a 8-5 job and am available between 1-2 to check in or walk pets ! I do not work Fridays so I have full availability Thursday- Sunday ! I have a fenced in yard that the pups could potentially enjoy to run there ! I have multiple parks that I frequent and am familiar with that I take my dogs to ! With your home I will be sure to know where everything is and wipe muddy paws before they come back in :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elmwood Place
Kathleen was wonderful! She was very attentive, took my dog on several walks, and sent plenty of updates while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, well cared for, and in great hands. I would definitely recommend Kathleen and will absolutely book with her again!
Crystal was a pleasure to work with! She did an excellent job sitting for our puppy in our home for several days. Crystal is very communicative (sends updates, asks questions) and was very respectful of our home, leaving it in perfet condition. I would abusolutely use Crystal again!
Nichole is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She took care of our two huskies with love, excellence, and attention to detail. She went above and beyond giving them stimulation and exercise and left our home spotless. Genuinely such a lovely person. We are so grateful for your amazing work, Nichole!
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.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 1,336 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.
