About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors labs, my relatives cats, and a friend’s german shepherd all since I was around 15! I’ve stayed overnight, but also have just visited to walk dogs. I’m working a consistent job that ends at 2:30pm! Always available to play or care for your dogs or cats afterwards and completely free to stay during the weekends! I make sure to routinely feed when needed and cuddle or play with pets to make sure they feel loved! I also make sure there’s nothing bad for them laying around.
“Heidi was wonderful. She came by to feed my dog, spent quality time with him, and made sure he was well cared for. She was reliable, sent great updates, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’m especially grateful that she was able to step in at the last minute over a holiday. I’d absolutely recommend Heidi and would gladly book her again.”
“Ross & Sarah were great! They worked with me on short notice to get our boy, Hansel out on walks throughout the day from our house. It really eased his anxiety about being left alone. Thank you!”
About: I treat every pet like family—with patience, love, and lots of attention! What sets me apart is my experience with all types of dogs, from playful puppies to gentle adults. I understand how to care for dogs with different energy levels, and I’m comfortable following special routines and giving medications. I also focus on creating a calm, safe environment where your pet feels at home, whether we’re playing fetch or just enjoying cuddle time. You can count on me for dependable communication, consistent updates, and a lot of tail wags! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home! This allows me to give pets the attention, care, and companionship they need throughout the day. Whether it’s regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just being nearby for comfort, I’m able to be present and responsive to their needs. My flexible schedule also means I can easily stick to your pet’s routine and provide a calm, consistent environment while you’re away. For boarding and doggy day care in my home, your pet will enjoy a safe, loving, and relaxed environment. While I don’t have a fenced yard yet, all outside time is fully supervised with leashed walks and potty breaks. Inside, they’ll have cozy spaces to rest, toys to play with, and plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I maintain a calm, pet-friendly space where routines are followed to help your pet feel comfortable and secure.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve raised and trained dogs since I was young and have experience with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, high-energy dogs, and more relaxed companions. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with medical needs and can administer oral medications, topical medications, injections, and provide care for dogs wearing cones or diapers. I work from home, which allows me to provide a flexible schedule and spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. Dogs staying with me are rarely left alone for more than 2–4 hours, receive regular potty breaks every 2–4 hours, and get lots of attention throughout the day. I always strive to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, fresh food and water, and lots of affection. All outdoor time is supervised, and I provide a clean, quiet, and stress-free environment. There are no other animals in the house. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout their stay or visit. I have access to a large backyard and a ton of greenery right across the street.
About: We’re a dependable husband-and-wife team, so your pets get double the love, attention, and care. As owners of two doodles ourselves, we understand the energy, routine, and patience dogs need at every stage of life.

For drop-ins and walks, we focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During visits, we provide potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, playtime, and plenty of attention. Walks are tailored to each dog’s energy level and personality, whether they enjoy a relaxed stroll or a more active walk. We also make sure owners stay updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elon
5 stars! This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was a great communicator — quick to respond to messages before the visit. She arrived early and immediately made our dog Diego feel comfortable. After the visit, she sent us photos and video so we got to see him enjoying his time with her. Diego absolutely loved her, and honestly, so did we — even a quick 10-minute chat beforehand was enough to know we'd made the right choice.
This was our second booking, and my animals adore Jessica, it was seen when she came to pick up the key before our trip! She is very communicative about what is going on with the animals while we are gone, and gives us the peace of mind that our animals are being loved while we’re away.
Angel is AMAZING!! While I was out of travel she was always on time and sent me photos of my Milo when she came by to visit. She loving, caring, and made sure that Milo was comfortable while I was away also kept me updated with his report on how his visit went. I would 100% recommend her as a sitter and plan to use her in the upcoming future

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Elon stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Elon 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Elon with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
