“Evan was great from our first meet and greet through all of his visits. Notes were detailed and our dog received plenty of exercise and love. Looking forward to having Evan care for our dog today n the future”
“I sent a request to Daysi last minute, and I'm so grateful she was able to drop-in on my German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees puppy - even after a bite-y meet-n-greet with the little teether! She was flexible with my changing schedule, attentive to my numerous care instructions, and sent some absolutely precious pictures in her daily updates. It goes without saying, I would definitely rebook Daysi to care for my puppy in the future. (Thank you again, Daysi!!)”
“Kathryn took great care of my 2 cats while I was away! She did everything I asked and kept my place nice and tidy. She was very patient with my cat who was refusing to eat and I came home to very happy cats! I definitely recommend Kathryn to watch after your pets!!”
“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!”
“Jordyn did an EXCELLENT job today! Today was her 1st visit since our meet and greet and she sent me pictures of my pooch that really made me feel good about using her and this app. I am new to this app and am SUPER protective of my dog Destiny since she is almost 17 yrs old. I want to ensure that she is able to enjoy her golden years and now I feel comfortable being able to transition back into the office for work and know that Destiny will be let out and looked after whenever needed. Thanks Jordyn for your help with Destiny!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elon
Paige was absolutely wonderful! She communicated very well and always kept me updated on the boys throughout the time she watched them. She treated them as if they were her own, and we truly appreciate the care, love, and attention she gave them. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care. We will definitely continue booking with Paige in the future!
Our 2 German shepherds (1 male 1 female) both did so well with Jessica. She took great care of our fur babies while we were away. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future. I was anxious at first about using someone new but she helped calm any nerves about it all and she followed through. I’m so thankful
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.
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. 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 .

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.

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.
