About: I was raised around cats and dogs since before I could walk, I absolutely adore animals however at the moment it unfortunately doesn’t make sense to get pets of my own. That’s why I love taking care of other people’s pets! Prior to making this account on Rover, I volunteered at an animal shelter and have dog sat/walked for friends and family and completely fell in love with this line of line of work. I’ll happily play fetch or take your dog on a hike. I’d love to brush out your cat’s coat and entertain them with toys. I have experience making frozen enrichment activities for the shelter dogs as well. I would love to meet your furry family and sincerely promise they will be cared for with the love and respect that family members deserve. I have a very flexible schedule, I’m practically going to be there when you need me with in reason of course. Just about anything in my life can be moved around to accommodate you if I have enough notice. Things always come up and life is unpredictable so as long as we are both understanding of that for each other all will be well. Give me your rule book for your pets and I will follow it. I love going on walking trails so if you felt comfortable with your dog leaving the home I’d be ecstatic to take them on an adventure. Like I’ve said before, your pets will be treated as my family. I will advocate for your animals and protect them in every way that I can.
“Jessica does an amazing job with our pups. They love her and she is so attentive and leaves us details about each of her visits. This is the second time we've gotten Jessica to take care of our family pets and we plan to keep hiring her for the future.”
“Amazing! I felt so confident leaving my cats in her hands! She communicated with me if she had any doubts, and she really took care of my cats as if they were her own. I recommend Amber 200%.”
“Cynthia took such excellent care of my furbaby! I cannot recommend her enough! She took time for a couple of meet and greets before my booking so my dog would get accustomed to her presence. I noticed that my dog was much more relaxed at the second visit, which made me feel at ease knowing Cynthia would be taking such excellent care of her. Truly a stand-out quality caretaker for my furbaby!”
“Lauren did an amazing job taking care of Lucky! He had been sick the week before I left town, so I was especially nervous about leaving him. Lauren went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of and followed all of my detailed instructions regarding his medications, feeding, and routine perfectly. She kept me updated throughout with plenty of photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”
“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!”
“Kathryn is very professional, kind, and truly loves my cat when she’s there. I feel very safe with her having access to my house and trust her to take good care of my cat while i’m away. She’s timely, communicative, and just a lovely human.”
“Gretchen is phenomenal. You can tell that she genuinely cares about taking the best care of your pet. She is kind, personable, and an all around exceptional sitter. I will definitely be booking 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.
“Lauren was great! Our dog absolutely loved her, and we can’t wait to book with her again soon. She is very sweet, and we know that our dog is in good hands with her while we are away.”
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
“I'm very happy with Debbie's service. She checked in during each visit with my dog, and administered medication when my dog wouldn't eat it on her own. Very reliable. I will call on her again!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Elon is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elon
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

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Elon on Rover is $18.5 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,150 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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:
- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
