About: I've had dogs my entire life and have been actively involved in caring for them from a young age. Through owning dogs and helping with their daily care, I've gained experience with feeding, walking, exercise, playtime, and providing lots of attention and affection. I've also pet sat for friends and family, including caring for up to five dogs at once over a weekend. This experience has allowed me to work with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident in my care. I have open availability Monday - Friday and can provide care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and overnight stays if needed. Im flexible and happy to work with pet owners to meet their pets' schedules and routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel comfortable and confident that your furry baby is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!

About: I have taken care of pets since 10 years old. I personally have my own dog and the same love and care I have for him is the same care I show for other pets! I know how to teach basis skills such as sitting, waiting until next command and shaking paws! I am currently a student, so my schedule changes however I always have the mornings and evenings free. As well as the weekends for dog sitting or pop ins to walk or play with them. For the client’s home, if they have a certain way or procedure of taking care of their pets, I respect their requests and will follow it to the client’s comfortability. I just want to give care and love to the pets and make sure they are happy while being under care clients can depend on!

About: I've been a passionate dog owner since I was 8 years old giving me well over two decades of hands-on experience with canine care and behavior. My background goes far beyond daily feeding and walks. I've personally assisted in delivering two litters of puppies, so I am comfortable with everything from whelping and newborn puppy care to handling unexpected situations with patience and confidence. Whether your pup needs gentle care, active play, or experienced handling, they'll be treated with the absolute highest standard of love and safety in my care. As a stay-at-home mom, my home is active, organized, and full of life! Being home full-time gives me a super flexible schedule, meaning your pet will rarely be left alone. I am available throughout the entire day for frequent potty breaks, backyard playtime, and continuous supervision. Whether you need daytime daycare or overnight boarding, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily family routine, ensuring your dog gets constant companionship and attention. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer a warm, welcoming, and closely supervised home environment where guest pets are treated like family. We have two super friendly Labrador Retrievers who love making new friends and playing host! Because I am home throughout the day, your dog will enjoy frequent leashed outdoor potty breaks, regular walks, structured playtime, and constant supervision. I closely follow all care instructions, sticking strictly to your pet's feeding and medication schedules to ensure a safe, smooth, and stress-free stay.

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.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am a lifelong pet owner who truly understands that pets are family. I have owned both dogs and cats for most of my life and currently have two Basset Hounds, Cooper (10) and Charlie (5), giving me firsthand experience caring for dogs at different life stages. Because Cooper is a senior dog, I understand the extra patience, attention, and routine that older pets often need. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, monitoring for changes in behavior, and ensuring pets receive the individualized care they deserve. I also have experience caring for pets for friends and family, so I understand the importance of communication and providing regular updates to give owners peace of mind while they're away. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and patient. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to care for your pet the same way I care for my own, with kindness, care, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but I have a one-hour lunch break from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM that allows me to check on pets, provide potty breaks, walks, feedings, or companionship during the day. After work, I am available in the evenings to provide additional care, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. I currently care for my two Basset Hounds, Cooper and Charlie, and understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine. I am committed to making sure pets receive the care, exercise, affection, and attention they need while their owners are away. In my home, my two Basset Hounds, Cooper and Charlie, have access to our fenced backyard through a doggy door, allowing them to go outside as needed throughout the day. They have a consistent routine that includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection and attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding according to their schedule, providing fresh water, taking them for walks or potty breaks, cleaning up after them, administering basic care as instructed, and spending quality time with them. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their routine remains consistent, and I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect that I give my own.

About: I love playing with and caring for animals. I know it’s hard to be there for your pet at all times, so I would love to help you with your needs. I love to play, walk, bathe, swim, and do pretty much whatever it is your animal needs. I am comfortable with all ages, sizes and breeds. If needed, I can administer medicines. I am available days , weeknights and weekends at all times. I have had my own dogs and other pets since I was 7 years old, so I am hoping that I can care for your pets the way that I have always cared for my own. Pet care is part of my everyday routine. I’m used to morning and evening walks, feeding on a schedule, meds when needed, and plenty of playtime and snuggles built into my day. I plan my errands and social stuff around animals being let out, fed, and comfortable, so adding your pets into that rhythm feels really natural for me. When I’m in a pet’s home, I stick to their normal routine as closely as possible – same feeding schedule, walk times, and sleeping spots. I do regular check-ins for food, water, potty breaks, and meds if needed, and I always build in playtime and cuddles so they’re not just ‘being watched,’ they’re actually getting attention. I keep the home tidy, follow any house rules you leave, and send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away.

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: I am a lover of all animals & have grown up with them my whole life. I started pet-sitting for friends and family when I was 10. I am comfortable with all breeds, and all your pet needs including medications, puppies, seniors, walking, etc. I am happy to give your pet all the snuggles or wear them out with lots of play! I have a very flexible schedule and availability will depend on the day / week. I am open Monday - Sunday. Depending on when you need me, I am happy to make my schedule revolve around your pet. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible and will do everything in my power to ensure this is the case. In your home, I will keep their routine to what they are used to. On walks, I will keep them on leash and make sure your requests are met. For drop-ins, I will make sure they are left feeling very loved.

About: I've grown up with dogs in my house for my whole life and helped neighbors out when needed. I've had dogs of all ages, ranging from puppies to seniors. In addition, I've helped out friends who have cats and often volunteer and local animal shelters with cats and dogs. At the moment, I have an extremely flexible schedule! I am available most days of the week, and I can shift around the majority of my plans if needed. Because I've grown up around dogs, I'm very experienced with dog care necessities including walking, feeding, crating, etc. Although I have never had a cat because my dad is allergic, I love cats and have helped friends take care of their fuzzy furballs more times than I can count. I love playing with animals, and I'm exciting to meet yours!

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

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Elon on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,092 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Elon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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 .

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elon. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
