“Allison was amazing!! She provided daily updates and photos of my pets and took great care of my house while I was away! I would recommend her to anyone and trust her to watch my pets again!”
“Abigail took great care of our senior boy who requires extra attention - meds, mobility issues. Her communication was great, she sent photos of our boy and we returned to a happy dog. Highly recommend!”
“Ian was an absolute life saver! After another person backed out less than 48 hours before my husband and I were scheduled to leave town for several days, Ian answered my last minute request, and saved the day! He came to meet us and our dog the same evening as the request, and immediately established a rapport with our dog. While we were gone, he kept us updated on how things were going, and was very responsive to requests. I would love to have Ian stay with our dog again, and would highly recommend him to anyone!”
“Brandy has dog sat for us twice, and she has been absolutely wonderful. She is reliable, respectful, and truly takes the time to understand and accommodate our requests. Tilly is most comfortable simply having someone hang out with her, and Brandy has been amazing at providing that companionship and making Tilly feel safe and relaxed. It's clear that Brandy genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and we always have peace of mind knowing Tilly is in such good hands. We highly recommend Brandy to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter!”
“She is so great very laid back and easygoing. Our dogs love her especially our little guy. No worries when she is here. She is always available and dependable we always come home to a happy house and everything is just how we left it.”
“Worked well with our pups even the one who doesn't like new people. She kept us up to date on what the pups were up to. Followed all given notes. Looking forward to our next booking with her”
“Danielle did a wonderful job taking care of our 4 pets. She communicated very well before hand. Took the time to come an meet our pets before hand. And then provided pictures and updates each day while we were traveling .”
About: Have been a long-time dog mom of a pitbull for many years. I have lots of experience with high energy and strong dogs who love walkies. Experience with elderly and ill pets as well. I am available morning and night on the weekdays. Fridays and Saturdays I have open availability to spend the whole day with your pet. You can schedule your service with 1 day notice and meet-and-greet. (I request a meet and greet with every client) Please feel free to reach out about specific times and dates. I will respect your home during check-ins, make sure your pet is fed and watered and well exercised as per requests. Can provide extra photos if requested!
“Mariah was the most perfect pet/house sitter that we could have possibly asked for. We will absolutely be seeking her services again in the future. Both of our dogs and our cat loved her. With good reason. She connected with them and dialed into their needs exceptionally well. In fact, so well that when she came to watch them, she instantly found 2 tiny ticks on our dog Nova. We look our dogs over for ticks daily, but we missed these and Mariah didn’t. She has an eagle eye for these types of details. She might want to consider being a pet photographer. Each day that we were gone, she sent us the most adorable photos of our pets. This helped reassure us that our pets were in wonderful, caring hands. We returned home with a clean house and happy, healthy pets. What more could you ask for? We highly recommend her services!”
About: I have been around animals all my life. Grew up on a farm & helped with the horses, chickens, cows, cats, dogs. Currently training a bernedoodle, Dunkin, for the Southern Wisconsin Therapy Dog Association. Dunkin will visit nursing homes, student centers with autistic and special ability facilities, some medical facilities based on needs. If you ask family & friends, they’ll tell you that I cannot pass any animal without affectionately acknowledging them. And only if the animal is willing, I will give lots of love. I genuinely enjoy animals far more than people. ;) I have taken multiple levels of dog training courses. I also enjoy riding the family horse, Apache, in my free time. I have a pretty flexible work schedule but I work most days 8-4:30, M-F I am available before work, after work, evenings until about 10-10:30pm and weekends. Or overnights if booked. In client’s homes, I would use whichever method they prefer. If they leash potty an animal, I will do that. If animal runs in fenced in yard, I will stand in yard & wait. If they have a special request for animal, I will discuss with client if I am capable of said request.
“Hailey was awesome with our pups! We have a senior cavalier and a 2 year old lab mix. Hailey was timely and kept us updated with pictures of the fur babies. Very responsive and responsible - would definitely recommend her!”
“Beth and her daughter were wonderful house sitters!! They followed my detailed instructions carefully and there were no issues. Beth sent pictures of my pets and even videos of my puppies playing in the yard. She responded to all my texts quickly with updates as I wanted them. The house was left in perfect order, just the way I left it, and she even washed the sheets and towels they used. I highly recommend Beth and her daughter!”
“Susie did a fantastic job house sitting and caring for my spoiled pup Wyatt!! I would highly recommend her. She asked all the right questions so she could provide Wyatt great care and was easy to communicate with for updates. The whole process went very well.”
“Jaden did a fantastic job watching our puppy! She sent daily updates and pictures, and we appreciated how she was quick to text with questions or concerns, so we always felt comfortable with how he was doing.”
“We have used Abigail several times. Most recently we went on a week long vacation. She is truly amazing. Always sending pictures and updates! Highly recommend her!”
About: Had cats all my life and dogs for last 12 years. Animals have a sixth sense about people and I'm one of those they seek out for rubs, cuddles, playtime, snacks and love... I'm working FT so im only available evenings after 5 and all times on the weekends. I'm also available for overnights at your location and can leave for work from anywhere. I will only be able to care for pets at your home as we currently have 2 cats (one who is very persnickedy) and a senior dog rescue who is going blind and is afraid of everyone.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life. I have also been taking care of pets for family members and neighbors for quite some time. I love meeting new furry friends and I hope to meet many more I am currently working full time, but I’m looking to move more into a caregiving job, working with animals more frequently. As of right now I can do morning and afternoon visits, as needed during business days I can come to a clients home and provide whatever care is needed, whether it’s taking a young pup on a long walk, or just hanging out with a senior pup in the backyard while they do their business and enjoy some sun. Or even playing with a kitty and some string in the living room.
About: I've had my own rescue pup for 8 years, he is my pride and Joy. I have always loved animals and nothing makes me happier than being around them, Happy dog happy life! Your pets well-being is my top priority. Whatever your furry friend may need I can happily accommodate. I assisted at an in home boarding business for 4 years. I worked with all different breeds, ages, health conditions, and personalities! I also cared for Labrador pups from birth to when they were ready for the perfect home. I volunteered at Valley of the kings working mainly with the hundreds of rescue cats. I've also worked with farm animals and a few exotic animals at the sanctuary. I currently have a very open schedule, most days and most times work. Early morning can be arranged as well as late night, of course everything in-between. I am always very patient and loving with animals. I'll take the time to bond with your furry friend to establish trust and make sure the care is the best possible for them.

FAQs for House Sitting - Emerald Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 305 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Emerald Grove. 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 Emerald Grove 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 Emerald Grove 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 Emerald Grove 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 Emerald Grove. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
