“Heidi is phenomenal! Her service was exceptional. I will definitely be using her services again! My Sadie girl took very well to her. She kept me updated daily with check ins and pictures which I really appreciate. We are all always nervous when leaving a loved one with a stranger but I must say Heidi made me feel at ease. THANK YOU SO MUCH HEIDI!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I spent time on my grandfather’s farm, helping care for all kinds of animals, which taught me patience and responsibility from a young age. Over the years, I’ve also raised my own dogs from the puppy stage, so I’m very comfortable with training, housebreaking, and giving lots of love and attention to growing pets. Because of this experience, I’m confident caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including seniors who need a little extra patience and care. I treat every pet like part of my family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is my priority and a big part of my everyday life. I have a very flexible schedule and am always available to give pets the attention they need. I plan my days around walks, feeding times, and playtime, making sure every pet feels cared for and safe. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or late night cuddles, I’m available and ready to make pets feel at home. I live in a spacious, pet friendly apartment in a safe and quiet neighborhood, which makes it perfect for dogs to relax and feel at home. I keep my space clean, cozy, and pet proof, and there’s plenty of room for play and rest. When pets stay with me, they get lots of love, attention, and structured potty breaks. I enjoy going on regular walks around my neighborhood, which is calm and great for exercise. I make sure to stick to each pet’s normal routine for meals, bathroom breaks, playtime, and bedtime so they feel comfortable and secure. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their exact instructions to keep pets happy and stress free. I make sure food, water, and medication schedules are followed closely, and I send regular updates and pictures so owners feel at ease while they’re away.

About: Hi Here’s a little bit about me! - 5+ years of petsitting experience! ✅ - Excellent Communication! 🗣️ - Flexible Schedule! 📆 - Have experience with all type's of dog breeds, sizes, age! 🐶 - Have experience with all types of cat breeds and ages! - Plenty of references if asked 😊 Most importantly I want to provide your pets with unwavering love and you with peace of mind! I’m currently working a 9 am - 3 pm/4 pm ish schedule. I do have wiggle room in this schedule if ever necessary. Weekends are normally free unless I have a petsitting job! I do only provide services in a clients home for multiple reasons. I currently have two cats in my household as well as a blind dog, it’s very hard to introduce animals to each other especially for short time periods. I also have found that animals tend to do better in their comfort zone, which is definitely their own home!🏡

About: I’ve had experience with animals since childhood,I grew up with two dogs and many family members animals. I currently have an adorable kitty named peaches! I have lots of experience with long term pet sitting as well, an example being a lovely senior dog who had complex health issues that needed special care in her diet and love, I also have experience with animals in heat and have done extensive training research. I’m good with animals of all sizes and temperament loving the all the same! I’m currently searching for a job in my field of phlebotomy which is currently very difficult to find work in so my availability is very open at the moment! I have a clean home in which I take care of my animals, in a clients home I’m used to fenced in areas or walking with dogs on a leash or who are well behaved to walk without one but I’m also very good at finding a escapee
About: I am a veterinary assistant (coming from a emergency and specialty hospital setting) with a background of animal boarding/daycare experience which includes basic grooming (nail trimming, anal gland expression, bathing...), training, and play. I'm comfortable and experienced with all types of animal behavior and am more than happy to accommodate special needs! I am skilled in dog and cat medication administration: intranasally, subcutaneously, orally, and intramuscularly. I am also RECOVER certified in dog/cat CPR BLS/ALS and well versed in handling animal emergencies and events. I am also comfortable with chicken (just chickens at this point in my career), rabbit, and guinea pig care including SQ, IM, and oral medication administration. I love animals and i'm elated to have the opportunity to take care of your babies! I'm currently a part-time worker at a general family vet practice and pick up shifts occasionally at an emergency veterinary hospital. My schedule is a little flexible due to this fact and my availability will reflect this! I do own two (2) cats of my own and will ask if your pet is comfortable with being left for maximum 2 hours at a time, no more than once a day so I can check up on them. This is for house sitting only. When visiting your home I'll be conscious of how your pet receives me. For bright, young puppies and kittens, I'll keep them entertained and stimulated for the length of my visit, making sure there is no signs of trouble or illness. I'll be sure to clean and sanitize myself before and after each visit with these puppies/kittens to ensure their safety and health. The same applies with young and old adult dogs and cats, taking into consideration the special needs that come with age.
“Cindy is an excellent sitter! She followed all of the directions I left for her and communicated with me after each visit to my house. I was really looking for a sitter that would not only be reliable, but that also cared about the wellbeing of my pet. Cindy is this type of sitter! I could tell from her reports that she really took the time to make sure that all of my cat's needs were met - from feeding, to petting, to cleaning his litterbox. I would highly recommend her!”

About: I’m a loving, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and believes they deserve the same patience, care, and affection they receive from their own family. I was raised around dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Being around dogs from a young age has taught me how to be patient with different personalities, recognize when a pet may be uncomfortable or need extra attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Most importantly, I genuinely care about the animals I look after. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet isn’t just another booking to me. They’re someone’s family, and I treat them that way. Pet sitting is currently a part-time job for me, as I do have another job. I’ll primarily be available on weekends, but as I build my clientele, I hope to expand my availability and offer more flexible dates, including Sunday evenings and additional days for repeat clients. I’ll always do my best to work with your schedule and provide dependable care when you need it! I’m open to providing a variety of pet care services, including drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. While I’m unable to board pets in my own home because I have my own pet, I’m more than happy to care for pets in their home where they’re most comfortable. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your house rules and your pet’s routine, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. I’ll give your pet plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while making sure their food, water, medications, potty breaks, and other needs are handled according to your instructions. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away.
About: I have always had dogs, goldendoodles labradors bichon and always took care of my family’s animals from guinea pigs to dogs, and neighbors pets as well. I love animals!! I do work four days a week. I have plenty of time in the morning till two on days I work and days I’m available all day. We would go to the park. I have a fenced in yard as well. A neighborhood that I can walk dogs as well. I have a fence backyard plenty of room in the front. I have no problem, walking your dog at your home and your area at the park.
About: I have been in pet sitting world for over 6+ years. I have major experience with working with animals that need more medical care. Including shots, medication administration, etc. I am a stay at home/ work from home cat mother so I have all the time in the world to care for your furry babies and more! I don’t have a fenced in yard but we can do have a park in neighborhood! We can play and let loose as much as they want to! We love snack time at our house!
About: I have been taking care of animals from a very young age. I currently have a chihuahua and coonhound of my own who are the stars of my house. I also work at a dog boarding and lodging facility in Chapel Hill that I adore (have been there for 5+ years). I work four days a week at a boarding / daycare facility, so weekend pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. My schedule is wide open for any little friend who needs someone to hangout with for an afternoon or overnight. I love exploring local parks and walking trails. I frequently stay with pets in their own home, as opposed to my own, but I’m open to boarding if we can orchestrate a meet and greet between our pups beforehand.
About: Hi there! I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have a 6 year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, so I’m no stranger to high energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation. Through caring for my own dog and helping friends and family with theirs over the years, I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks and feeding routines to enrichment, playtime, and providing extra patience for anxious or reactive pups. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. One of the perks of working freelance is having a flexible schedule! That means I can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and last-minute requests. I love spending time with animals, so getting to care for pets throughout my week is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I’ve been trusted by friends and mutual friends to care for both their homes and pets over the years, so I understand how important that trust is and don’t take it lightly. I treat every home with respect, provide regular updates, and strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I have four dogs myself and I’ve worked at the Dogs Downtown Boarding/Training facility for 2 years now. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, of all personalities, puppy house/crate training, and dogs with special needs (including allergies). I know how to administer medication and emergency care, upkeep with training, and of course, giving them all the loving and play while you’re away as if they were my own. When I’m not working at the kennel your pups will have me all to themselves. I can even check on them before/after my shifts and on my 1 hour break if you’d like. I have experience with dogs of kinds of medical conditions, I’m trained in emergency protocols and I have experience administering medication. Of course, when I’m in your home my first priority will be their safety and comfort. That means making sure they’re getting all the loving and play and attention they’re craving while you’re away. When I’m in your home I won’t be staring at my phone or preoccupied with other things, I want to give my 100% to your pet because they deserve to feel like the priority, especially when they’re missing their family.

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!
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.

Annelise was exceptional. My dog, Sandy, had a wonderful time with her. I felt bad having to leave town for a few days, leaving my dog behind, but the daily photos Annelise took were adorable and gave me great piece of mind, knowing she was being taken well care of, Thank you!

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.
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.

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 .
