“Susana has been a fabulous care taker for our little one. Before and during our extending overseas trip, she was very communicative and provided wonderful update photos to put us as ease”
“Paul went above and beyond in the care of our girls and in taking care of our home while we were away. We received texts and pictures multiple times a day and knew they were well cared for and loved. It was such a comfort knowing our special needs lady was getting exactly what she needed and even some extra loving care!”
“I highly recommend Tiffany for any pet sitting you require. She is an outstanding human being and my animals took to her immediately, even my very skittish cat who seemingly hates everyone. I was very impressed by her caring and easy going personality and by her professionalism. I felt very comfortable leaving her in charge of my home and my beloved companions. I had a truly great experience.”
“Roree was amazing with Aspen while we were out of town. Always sent updates and pictures, and made sure Aspen had the best care! Would definitely recommend Roree for anyone needing a dog sitter and will for sure have her back in the future!”
“Lilly did an exceptional job with our dogs, and with very short notice. Our dogs are a little high maintenance, and need a lot of exercise and attention so coming home to happy and content dogs was awesome! We can’t thank you enough, everything looks great, and Thor and Blue are happy! If you’re looking for a responsible dog sitter, Lilly is it! She’s kind, trustworthy and an animal lover! Thanks again, Lilly 🥳”
“Brooklyn did a fantastic job watching our two morkies over a weekend period. We especially appreciated her proactive style of communication, her calm when dealing with any issues, and of course all the pictures of our pups throughout the day while we were away. Would definitely recommend her services and book with her again. Thanks Brooklyn!”
“Michaela is one of the most organized dog sitters we have ever worked with! She’s got a great routine down and made sure to stop by in advance to learn our routine. She is very easy is to work with and I highly recommend her! Reliable, great communication, friendly, clean, organized, and super kind.”
“Erin came to our home and stayed with our furbabies while we went to Mexico. She was truly amazing with them, which put us at ease being away from home knowing they were in great care. She provided us with updates and photos throughout her stay. Cooper loved the walks she took him on. And Sasha loved her fun in the sun. We are so appreciative of Erin and the care she provided them. We would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much Erin!”
“Shane was awesome. We felt very comfortable after meeting him that he would do a good job taking care of our dogs. He even took out our garbage and recycling cans for pickup and brought in the mail. Thanks Shane!!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who works from home with a relatively flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets plenty of time and attention. We don’t currently have a dog of our own, which gives us the freedom to travel occasionally and makes it easy for me to focus fully on caring for your pets. I grew up with all kinds of animals and have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including high-energy pups. I’ve cared for pets for friends and through Rover, and I’m comfortable reinforcing good leash manners and adjusting care to match each pet’s needs. At home, I have two barn cats who came to us feral and are now happy lap cats. That experience has taught me a lot about patience, trust-building, and caring for pets who may be shy or slow to warm up. I’m happy to care for dogs, cats, and other small critters, and I treat every pet like my own with thoughtful, attentive care. I’d love to connect and see if I’m a great fit for you and your pets! I’m self-employed and work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to build pet care naturally into my day. I’m happy to accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits. I prioritize consistency, trust, and a sage environment when caring for pets. I follow routines closely, watch body language, secure doors and leashes, and provide calm, attentive care.
“merry was great with my dog! they were very thorough and made sure they had al the necessary info to take care of him, and i was very confident that we would be well taken care of while i was gone! highly recommend (:”
About: I have cared for many different kinds of pets/animals in my life growing up and I love to show all animals affection. They are so unique in their own ways. ♡ I am sadly allergic to cats. If you have a cat and a dog, I will only be able do quick care for both pets and walk the dog. For I am unable to house sit so I can give my best performance. Im excited to show your pets lots of love and care! Please, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me. :) I am very flexible on my schedule and happy to work around what is best for us both. Pet care is always my top priority. Communication is key so please just let me know what is required + wanted and I will do what is needed to the best of my ability. That being feeding/watering, taking them on walks, dog parks, letting them out to do the do and so much more.
“Our family needed Jacob during a very difficult time. Jacob was kind, prompt, and immediately hit it off with our girls (Bear and Tookie). He was available to provide last minute care for our fur babies and sent updates daily on their well-being. We will definitely utilize Jacob‘s services in the future. He comes highly recommended by all our family members!”
“Breauna was amazing with our dog Joey! He has some anxiety especially when he's separated from us but she did a great job of taking care of him and making him feel secure. She exceeded expectations by taking him on walks that were not necessary and sending us lots of pictures and updates! She was also very respectful of our home and we came back to the place just as neat as we had left it. Very kind and amazing vibes, well definitely be using her again!! Thank you so much!!!”
“Kylie did an amazing job watching my girls!! She took good care of them and provided me with updates whenever I wanted and checked in with me on her own (including sending photos). She left my house immaculate (especially being here 2 weeks) and she is incredibly kind and thoughtful! I highly recommend her for others looking for a pet sitter and will definitely request her when I need a pet sitter in the future!”
“Marie was amazing!!! I am such a helicopter fur mama but I was quickly assured they were in great hands. Thorough communication, lovely updates, and my pups + kitty were as happy as can be when I came home. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future! Thank you so much Marie! 🙌 Moose, Evie, & Mazzy miss you already! ☺️🐾”
About: While I've grown up with dogs and cats, I also have professional pet sitting experience taking care of dogs with diabetes, blind cats, guinea pigs, and even a llama! Pets and their caretakers have trusted me so much, they have flown me to their new homes after moving out of state for further petsitting assignments. I give emotional connection and comfort to pets while they're missing their humans, even reading aloud to them, because I believe it is an integral part of the job. Currently, this is my primary work, so I will have time to spare to take care of your animals. I volunteer regularly at animal sanctuaries and other orgs to improve the lives of animals. I have typically been asked to spend the night with the pets in the client's home, and spend as much time with them as possible, but I can also make daily visits instead if necessary. If you prefer I make visits, keep in mind the distance it would take for me to get to your place, and consider allowing me to make fewer, longer visits instead of multiple brief ones throughout the day.
About: I've grown up constantly around dogs and taking care of them. My family and I would often get dogs from shelters, so behavioral issues are no problem for me! I'm used to the crazy-fun nature of these furry creatures. I have trained all my dogs, and when I was 14 got my own chihuahua that I raised from a puppy. I enjoy spending time with dogs and animals and would love to help out with your furry friends. I'm currently in school part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I have two cats of my own that I take care of everyday by playing with them, giving them fresh water and food, brushing them, and of course lots of cuddles. Coming into your home I will be very cleanly. I'll give your pets and home my upmost respect. With me your animals will be in amazing care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Little Elkhorn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Little Elkhorn on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,332 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Little Elkhorn. 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 Little Elkhorn 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 Little Elkhorn 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 Little Elkhorn 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Little Elkhorn. On Rover:
- 96% 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.
