“I can’t recommend her enough! She was absolutely wonderful with my dogs—they liked her right away, which immediately put me at ease. She gave me daily updates while I was away, so I never had to wonder how they were doing. I came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and a clean house, which was such a nice bonus. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and clearly great with animals. I will definitely be hiring her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!”

About: As the proud owners to two wonderful little rescue dogs, a cat, some chickens, guinea fowl, goats and sheep, we know how hard it can be sometimes to find care for your pets and farm animals while you are away. We will provide the same level of care and kindness that I would want and expect for our own spoiled pets. Trust is an important part of pet care and petsitting, and we want you to be able to confidently, and without worry, leave your pampered pups and kitties in our care. We live on a small farm in rural Western Maryland, about 20 minutes west of Frederick. We have experience with all kinds of animal care, from horses, cows, goats, sheep, and poultry. We are currently able to provide drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals, as well as house or farm sitting, and in home boarding, as well as hourly dog park style use of our large fenced yard. Your pets will be a happy addition to our family in our home! Our whole property is fenced by 4 ft or taller board and wire fencing, with smaller areas sectioned off in the front and back yards. The driveway is gated and secure. We want your pets to feel as safe as our own. Leah and Andrew are both available for petsitting services. We currently work only at home, tending our farm homestead, and have a flexible schedule. We are able to drop in one or two times a day, or less or more often, as needed. We treat every animal as if it were our own and provide a level of care that we would expect from our pet care provider.

About: I grew up on a small farm and currently live with one cat and two dogs! I’ve house sat and worked with a wide range of animals- from dogs and cats to fish and farm animals- often caring for multiple pets at once. I’m flexible, dependable, and willing to adapt to each pet’s routine and personality. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I’m available most days and can easily adapt to your pet’s routine! For longer rover sits, I ask that I can have access to wifi in order to work remotely from your home while still spending time with your pets. I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable. I take great responsibility in respecting your home and space, follow routines closely, and provide dependable care with regular updates.

“Sofia is absolutely fantastic. This was the first time I used someone on Rover and she made me feel so comfortable and at ease while I was on vacation. Her love for animals shined through the moment she met my foster cats and I could feel her love for them in every message and photo. I got lots of photos of her cuddling with them, giving them attention and being near them. They opened up to her immediately and as a pet (foster) parent, there’s no better feeling. I will absolutely message Sofia again in the future if I ever need a pet sitter, and I will be recommending her to anyone who says they want an attentive pet sitter!!!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m a lifelong dog owner and an experienced equestrian, so I’m very comfortable being responsible for animals of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and needs, and I’m happy to follow whatever makes them feel most comfortable while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding, keeping up with a specific schedule, or simply giving them plenty of attention and company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. My experience working professionally with horses has also made me extremely attentive to animal behavior and the little changes that can indicate when something isn’t quite right. I’m dependable, patient, active, and comfortable with everything from energetic pets who need plenty of exercise to animals who just want someone calm to hang out with. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable while they’re with me — and I’m always happy to send plenty of photos and updates along the way! I’m currently home with my mom in Leesburg while taking a break from competitive professional horse showing, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. After years of having my daily routine revolve around horses and animals, pet care fits very naturally into my life. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks and drop-ins, as well as longer visits, weekends, and overnight care when needed. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s established routine to keep things as consistent and comfortable as possible while you’re away. Safety, trust, and making each pet feel comfortable are always my top priorities. With years of professional experience caring for horses and animals, I’m very accustomed to following detailed routines, reading animal behavior, and noticing when something seems out of the ordinary. For dogs boarding with me, I want my home to feel like a comfortable home away from home. I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking, exercise, and sleeping routines as closely as possible while giving them plenty of attention, affection, and activity. I’m also available to stay in a client’s home when that’s where their pet is most comfortable. I’m very respectful of someone else’s space and will keep your pet’s routine and home environment as consistent as possible while you’re away. For walks and drop-in visits, I follow all instructions closely and am careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding, and any other specific needs. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m coming to them, I’m happy to provide plenty of photos and updates so you can feel confident that they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.

I am available any weekday and, with notice, can be available on weekends as well. I do not provide care in my home, but would love to come to your home where your dogs are most comfortable. I will provide any care needed- letting out in a fenced yard, taking for walks, feeding, administering meds, etc.

“From our first meeting with Perry, we knew our beloved dog and cat were in great hands. Perry was extremely sweet, gentle and thorough caring for our senior dog and spent time getting to know our shy kitty, Eddie. Perry’s communication is excellent. She sent us lots of pictures and videos. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing our dog and cat were not just walked and fed, but loved on. Our home was kept tidy as well. She is definitely on our favorites list!”

“We had a death in the family and had to go out of town last minute. Nuha was so quick to respond and come meet our boys to learn about them, their schedules, medicine, etc. She was truly amazing! For the week she was here, she was great about sending us updates and photos of them cuddling with her-which helped calm our already anxious hearts. She kept up with their twice daily meds and kept our home pristine! We've had sitters before, but this was the first time our two dogs were not noticeably stressed by our absence. I am home with the dogs most of the time and leaving them at the best of times is a stressor but I can honestly say I wouldn't hesitate to use Nuha again, albeit hopefully under better circumstances. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a responsible and caring sitter for their furry family members!”

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Elvan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Elvan is $58 per night as of October 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. 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 2,272 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Elvan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .

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 .

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.

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

  • 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.
