About: Hello! My name is Marshall and I am a primary cat groomer as well as dog groomer. I am passionate about the care and comfort of pets and pet parents alike and I strive to create a welcoming, comfortable, and gentle environment. I am experienced in administering medications, senior care, as well as general basic training. Currently, I own 2 cats and 1 dog that I have raised since each were kittens/puppy! Pet care is incredibly important and I am passionate to work with pets! I currently work part time however, since I do create my own hours, I am incredibly flexible and can work with your needed care hours. My kitties have free rein of the house since they are older and are house broken. My puppy is only 9.5 months old and requires full supervision and is crated whenever she is unable to be supervised. We go out every 1-2 hours for walks, hikes multiple times a week, as well as designated training and play time daily. My goal is to create a strong bond with my babies as they are essentially my children. I treat all pet clients as if they were my own (very loved)
About: I’m a stay-at-home mom with over 13 years of pet-sitting experience and a lifelong love of animals. I currently have several regular clients and am opening up my availability to welcome a few new furry friends! I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m comfortable following each pet’s individual routine, whether that includes walks, meals, medications, playtime, or simply some extra company and attention while you’re away. My experience also goes beyond dogs and cats! I regularly work on a farm caring for horses and other large animals, so I’m very comfortable around animals of all shapes and sizes. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me a flexible schedule, and I love being able to spend part of my week caring for animals. I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets and your home, and I treat every animal I care for like I would my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of availability for drop-ins, walks, and recurring clients throughout the week. I currently care for several regular clients and am opening my schedule to take on a few more. On occasion, I may need to bring my son with me, but this would always be discussed and approved ahead of time. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and entering your home. I always follow each owner’s instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m comfortable with crating, different feeding routines, leash walking, and administering oral medications. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Our sweet Gimli was happy with Marilyn! She was very responsive and reliable. She shared happy photos of our dog! I appreciated finding our home just as we left it! I would recommend Marilyn for watching your pets!”
About: Hey there! I have experience with all kinds of animals. I’ve fostered big dogs, worked with horses in equine assisted therapy, and have pet-sitted cats as well as currently have my own two cats. I love walking and am always looking to get my steps in. My two cats are harnessed trained and enjoy going on walks. I am currently looking for a full-time job and have a part-time from 2-6 pm every weekday. This allows me to be flexible and to drop by in the morning or in the evening. I am very observant and careful when dog walking. I am always on the lookout for possible dog stressors like cars, people, or other dogs. I am very respectful of any home I am in. Our pets have mental health problems just like us and I strive to create a calming and enjoyable environment for all furry friends.
“We had a sitter cancel at the last minute when we were out of town, and Lana was a life-saver! And she is a total gem! Prompt, friendly, communicative, and a true animal lover! We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again if we were ever in the area! Such a pleasure! Thank you!!”

“Kaila was amazing!! She took care of my German Shepherd while I was away for the weekend. She kept me updated the whole time and I’m so grateful she took such a good care of my baby!”
“I want to be greedy and keep Kourtney a secret…But also go on and on about how amazing she is! This was our first time leaving the girls with someone and we could not have asked for anyone better. She was timely, communicative, and most importantly so kind to our baby dogs (and our home)! You will not regret having her help care for your pups. If we could give 1,000 stars we would!”

“Liyah was fantastic! My dog Beyonce loved her, and it was mutual. Liyah made sure she was well-cared for and walked and that I got photos.

About: I have grown up taking care of animals, as well as pet sitting for my friends and family throughout high school and college.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elvan
Joanne demonstrated Super reliability and adherence to instructions. It was super hot so the dogs couldn’t get the exercise I was hoping for but nothing was destroyed under her watch. Lol. The dogs took to her immediately which definitely showed from the pictures she reliably sent every day.
Joanne does a great job with our dog Riley. Riley is a reactive dog with other dogs so we need someone who understands her, and Joanne does. She was great with keeping her company, feeding her according to directions, and playing with her. Joanne also did a great job taking care of our home. She even filled up the humidifiers for us. I would highly recommend her. She also sends pics and communicates and responds quickly.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Elvan is $58 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $58 and $58 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Elvan walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Elvan maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Elvan 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
