“Jessica was fantastic with our kitties! She was prompt, communicative and made sure to give special attention to our skittish baby who likes to hide ❤️ we will definitely use her again!”

About: Hi, my name is Lillian and I am so excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets! I have had experience volunteering at pet shelters along with pet sitting overnight. I enjoy taking dogs on walks along with lots of pets and snuggles. I will always ensure that your pet feels safe and well loved! I’m currently a college student so I have a lot of afternoons free to help care for your pets. I am available Tuesday through Sunday anytime after 1 pm to help with bathroom breaks along with afternoon walks for your furry friends. I am also available to care for your pets in the comfort of your own home to ensure your pet feels happy and safe! I like to ensure that you pet remains safe throughout the duration of my time assisting you. I like to make sure there’s nothing dangerous or harmful within reach of your loving pets and I try to supervise your pets as much possible to avoid any harm. I enjoy building a relationship with your pet so that I have their trust and your pet will feel comfortable with me around.
“Destini is awesome - She takes great care of my little Scottish Terrier. She is exceptionally reliable, a great communicator, is compassionate, and has such a love for animals. I really appreciated her being willing to step in on short notice but to an emergency. Thank you Destini!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud dog mom myself, so I know just how much our pets mean to us. I have dogs of my own and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. Whether your fur baby needs an overnight sitter, walks, playtime, meals, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I have two sweet doggies named Leo & Sparky who are 7 and 8 years old! I am a stay at home mom, so I’m very used to having a busy routine centered around caring for others. I also have dogs of my own, and taking care of animals fits naturally into my everyday life. I’m comfortable with routines, schedules, feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. Im a mom and I have dogs of my own, so I’m pretty used to taking care of everyone and keeping up with a routine 😂. When I’m watching someone else’s pets, I really just treat them like they’re my own. I’ll follow whatever routine they’re used to, make sure they’re fed and let out, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and of course lots of cuddles if they’re into that. I’ll also respect your home and leave things the way I found them. I know I’d be nervous leaving my own pets with someone, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re being loved and taken care of while you’re gone. 🐾❤️
“Erika was awesome! Quick to respond, patient, friendly, and was flexible and happy to answer any questions I had. I definitely plan to book her again in the future for my furbaby”
“Grace took such good care of our cat! She needed antibiotics every day, and Grace handled it with no issue. She sent pictures and was very responsive, which really helped us be at ease while we were gone.”
About: I was a pet sitter for dogs and cats throughout middle and high school, for over 30 families. After college, I’m ready to get back to it! I’m an animal lover at heart, with a medium goldendoodle! I work full-time at Elon University, but am flexible before 9AM, during the lunch hour 12-1 pm, and evenings until 10:30 pm. I prioritize a 30-min visit with your pet, including feeding, playing, cuddles, & a walk, if requested. I prioritize you & the pet’s comfortability above all else. I prefer a Meet & Greet before scheduled service to make sure your animal feels comfortable & we can be on the same page with expectations and availability

About: have taken care of dogs, cats, and other animals for over 15 years. I love animals and would love to take care of your pets! I'm a Burlington native and have a flexible schedule!

“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 have had a love and natural talent for dogs/cats both stray and or domestic since I was a little girl. I have no fear of any breed as I have had several dogs of my own that were of a more “aggressive” and or bigger breed. I am currently working from home so my schedule is very flexible so whether you are looking for someone to stay the night or do drop ins, I’d be a perfect match. I am very active so even when sitting for one pet I can keep them entertained if needed. I have trained dogs outside of my own so I do understand how to gain rapport and respect while also maintaining patience.
About: As a lifelong dog owner, I have a deep understanding of canine care and behavior. I also have over seven years of paid experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. As a cat owner myself, I am equally comfortable caring for feline companions, and I am a trusted, go-to pet sitter for family and friends. I have a flexible schedule and am available for daytime, evening, and weekend pet care as needed. My fiance will also be helping to fill any gaps my schedule leaves. I offer flexible availability and strive to accommodate each client's scheduling needs. I live in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood and have experience caring for dogs and cats in a variety of settings. Whether care is provided in my home or yours, I am committed to ensuring your pet remains comfortable, safe, and well cared for.
About: I’ve always had a passion for animals. Growing up, my mother was a dog sitter, which made me comfortable around most, if not all, breeds. I would help her with feeding while she took the dogs out. Now that I’m older, I have two huskies and a cat. My ultimate goal is to eventually have farm animals, mainly as pets. 😂 So, my love for animals is quite immense. I’m currently in school and volunteer for 4-5 hours each day on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I can provide potty breaks whenever needed, except during my volunteer work. Since these volunteer days are mandatory for my school program, we’ll have to find a way to accommodate them. Aside from these commitments, I’m mostly at home, except for occasional errands. I only allow one pooch per night, as per my previous experiences. Please be considerate of this, unless discussed otherwise, as it’s more for the comfort of both yours and mine. ☺️ I have a vast yard, spanning 2 acres. Approximately half of it is fenced in to provide a safe space for my two energetic huskies. One of them is particularly lazy, while the other is quite active. Additionally, I have a cat that has a fondness for our dogs.
“Kaitlynne was amazing! I will definitely be asking for her help in the future. She was so patient with my bunch. My dogs are all very different and need all different kinds of care and attention and she handled them all with the love that I would have. I’m so thankful and I felt so much more comfortable being away knowing the care she was giving to my guys.”
“I would definitely book with Melanie again to take care of my fur babies! This was my first time booking with her but it will not be my last!! She is very professional, compassionate, caring & on time to do the job. She takes her time & gives them the quality time that they need. She’s great with communicating things about your fur babies & she’s very friendly & attentive!! She was truly the answer to my prayers!!!”
“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!”
“Justin did a fantastic job taking care of our kitties Phoenix and Cici while we were away! He was extremely professional, communicative, and very thoughtful. 5 stars all around!”

Pet 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Elon is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,124 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elon. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
