“Laura has been absolutely amazing with my dog. She does weekend check-ins and walks for us, and I genuinely couldn’t ask for anyone better. My dog can be a little more challenging than most, but Laura is incredibly patient, thoughtful, and attentive with him. She really takes the time to understand his personality and needs instead of just going through the motions. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. You can tell she truly cares about the dogs she works with, and that makes all the difference. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and dedicated. She goes above and beyond every time.”

“Leeann was incredibly sweet and took wonderful care of our pets. She was very responsive to messages, which we really appreciated! Our only suggestion would be to better utilize the Rover cards to track her visits. Overall, she did a great job, and we’d happily recommend her!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m incredibly impressed with Abby as a sitter! From the very first visit, she made sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. The updates were top-notch every time, with the cutest photos and thoughtful notes that gave me total peace of mind. My dog absolutely lights up when Abby arrives, which says everything. She clearly cares so much and is amazing with pets of all personalities. Communication is quick and smooth, scheduling is easy, and she is always reliable and professional. If you’re looking for someone kind, trustworthy, and truly dedicated to caring for your fur babies, Abby is the perfect choice. Your pet will be in the best hands! 🐾❤️”

About: Danielle and I have had dogs our whole lives and absolutely love caring for them. We both grew up with dogs, so we’re very comfortable with their needs and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Danielle works a hybrid schedule, while I’m fully remote, so I’m home every day. We’re happy to work with your dog’s usual routine and schedule. We enjoy taking dogs on long walks in the morning and late afternoon, along with plenty of playtime throughout the day. We have a spacious 3-bedroom, first-floor apartment with plenty of room for a dog to feel comfortable. We also have a 1½-year-old son who loves animals, so your dog would be joining a loving family environment. We’re happy to accommodate dogs who need a little extra space or quiet time around our son. We usually walk around our neighborhood, but we also have a dog park in our apartment complex for extra exercise, socialization and play! Since I work from home, I’m with the dogs all day. Occasionally I go skateboarding in the afternoon for a couple hours, which is the longest the dogs would ever be home alone. We take Ori out twice a day and feed him in the morning and evening. Our home couldn’t be safer. Of course the door is always locked and we keep Ori on a leash the entire time that he’s outside. We make sure to keep any food or other things he shouldn’t get into off the floor and out of reach.

About: Hi! I’m Aubrey, a lifelong dog lover with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for pit/staffy mixes and senior dogs. My journey started at 16 with my first dog, Diesel, a pit/lab mix who is now a happy senior. When I moved into my own place, I welcomed Crowley, a staffy/pit mix. Caring for two dogs over the age of 10 has taught me the perfect balance of keeping up with active play, enjoying brisk walks, and providing plenty of cozy cuddle time. What I offer your dog: Bully Breed & Senior Care Experience: Experienced with big dogs, strong pullers, and the gentle patience senior pups need. Active & Affectionate: Plenty of walks, playtime, and lap-snuggles tailored to your dog's energy levels. Attentive & Reliable: Deeply familiar with dietary routines, health needs, and safety. Daily Updates: Clear communication and photos so you always know your pup is in good hands. I treat every dog with the same love and care I give my own. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! As of right now I’m on disability from work so I have a lot of time during the day! I go to PT once or twice a week, work on schoolwork, walk my own dog typical 2x a day. If I house sit I’d have to come to your home as my dog is not friendly. I can be highly accommodating to your and your pets needs

About: I have one dog of my own (daisy - Aussie doodle) I have always had a love for the four legged family members and was raised with a farm family with responsibilities. I now have four children along fur babies and fish, if I could I'd have a zoo :) I’m just looking for a fun time getting all my puppy/ dog fixes in :) feel free to text me if you need help while you’re on vacation or simply want a night to unwind. I’m pretty flexible. I enjoy staying home with my children and fur babies, and love taking walks when it’s nice out with my dogs. I hope to see you and your pup soon, have a paw some day! My kids love to play with pups and my husbands currently stay at home for a while and able to let them out more frequently! I have a fur baby of my own to keep your dog company. If your pup would rather be alone that’s fine too I can rotate them separately pending on needs of the dog. I do like to have crate trained dogs in my care for night time to safely sleep knowing no pet can get curious when I’m not right by them. Depending on dog I will not require a crate per your request if they don’t use one and are not a chewer.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals is more than just a hobby for me it’s something I have professional experience with and truly love. I currently work at a dog and cat daycare facility, where I care for pets of all ages and personalities, including puppies, kittens, and senior dogs. I also have experience administering medications and providing extra care for senior pets and animals with special needs. I previously interned at a cat veterinary clinic for a year, which gave me valuable experience with cats and helped me learn how to recognize changes in behavior and health. I am also CPR certified in both dogs and cats, so your pets’ safety is always one of my top priorities. I have experience with many other animals as well, including guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, fish, etc. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, nervous and needs patience, or older and needs a little extra care, I’m comfortable adjusting to their individual needs. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away! I have school in the mornings and sometimes work in the afternoons, so I have flexibility throughout my week to provide pet care. I’m able to plan my schedule around your pet’s needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m especially available for walks, drop-ins, and care during the times I’m not in class or at work. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintaining their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any other special needs. I’m respectful of your home and make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away.

“I reached out to Kassandra for drop in visits for my five cats while I went on a trip. I was a little nervous leaving them in a strangers care but when I met her for an initial visit I immediately knew they were in good hands. I got updates and pictures multiple times a day and even my scaredy cat came around her. She followed their usual routine to a T. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m very good with animals, I have 5 pets of my own including cats and dogs and I also just love animals and want to be around them as much as I can! Right now I’m completely free for the summer and so I would be available to come and take care of them and am even willing to stay over nights but I still live at home so it would have to be at a clients house. I love to play with pets, cuddle or anything else that the specific pet might need. I’m pretty flexible and I’ve dealt with the gross stuff so that doesn’t bother me either.

One of my three cats needed medical attention during my absence and Payton got her promptly to the vet. Thanks to Payton, the cat's back to her "normal" self. She kept me well informed of what was happening and followed up with feedback from the vet and her own observations. Definitely giving Payton a solid 10, and I am about to book her again for my next trip.

Olivia is the best cat sitter! She really spent quality time with my cat Cleo and the pics she sent proved it. I’ve rarely seen my cat look so in love and happy with a new person. Will be booking with Olivia in the future:)

Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with him and he was having fun and felt safe with her. Thank you so much, Missy!!!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Elsmere

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Elsmere is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 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 October 2026, there are 2,133 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elsmere. 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 .

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 , 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 Elsmere. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
