Thank you Ana for taking care of my boys during the busy holiday weekend. I appreciate that you were able to step up and cover an extra day when my flight was canceled as part of the Southwest meltdown.

About: I have no specific pet care experience but I have had many dogs, cats, reptiles since I was young. I have an incredible love for life which extends to animals highly. I work as an independent contractor so I have a completely open schedule and love being around animals note than humans at times. I have a natural warmth that almost all animals can sense and immediately create lifelong friendships. Always positive and plan to give your pets the most exemplary sitting experience known to man. I am willing to study or brush up on specific requirements depending on the animals in my care. I am very active and love to run. So I can run with your dogs or walk them, whichever you prefer. Also have tons of energy to play and make them sleepy and relaxed. Currently I work as an independent contractor building a financial brokerage and do Lyft on the side in my free time. So my schedule is my own and would love to find regular clients who have pets that would want some love and attention when their owners have work or trips that they can’t bring them along for. My roommate has own dog personally who I always look out for and make sure he is taken care of with water and food if necessary. HI’s girlfriend who lives here with us as well has two smaller dogs and two cats as well that I make sure are all in well standard of living when I am home and notice they need something. Both of them are great pet owners but life can be busy so I’m always there making sure they get anything that might go unnoticed at times. We have a large fenced in backyard where all the dogs can play and run around as well as use the restroom at will. I also take them on walks if my roommate does not have time with his mobile mechanic business.

About: I am a Dog lover!!! I have experience with my dogs, and I take care of my friends and family dogs when they go out or travel. I would treat your baby like it was mine. Also I would send you an upgrade and pictures so you can see how much fun your dog is having. I think dogs are the best gift a human can have, and that is why they deserve the best care, attention, and Love!! I can provide that to your dog. Sometimes can be overwhelming for them to spend so much hours alone, without attention or without playing, so I would love to be part of that happiness, to take them for a run or walk, go visit them, pet him and play with him. Dogs are our best friends in life, so they deserve to have always the best!

She was great with our kitty and gave her lots of love and affection. She sent lots of pictures every day which we really loved. We highly recommend Emily and would use her again in a heartbeat!

Tara took care off my girl very well while I was on vacation. She is a long haired Persian cat that needs extra care such as eye cleaning and hair brushing and Tara did an excellent job with it. She was very communicative and sent a lot of detailed info and photos to ease my worries. I highly recommend Tara to all pet parents.

Joanne is an angel! I’ve met with her before her pet drop ins started and felt immediately at ease- like we’ve known each other for a long time. My pup, Haku adored her! Joanne took good care of him when we’re away and communicates everything with me. She carefully follows instructions and did everything as told with respect! I would definitely book with her service again! She deserves more than 5 stars. Joanne, please stay nearby and keep in touch!!!

Jennifer was absolutely phenomenal with our cat, Seaweed, while we were away. 💛 She was thoughtful, proactive, warm, and incredibly reassuring from start to finish. For each visit, she sent detailed updates, adorable photos/videos (😭😍), and little observations about Seaweed’s personality/behavior that made it SO clear she genuinely cared and was paying close attention to her. One of our biggest concerns while traveling is Seaweed’s medication administration (she requires an oral pill twice daily), and Jennifer handled this flawlessly. Not only did she successfully administer her meds as needed, but she also kept us informed on what worked best along the way, making the entire process feel low-stress, thoughtful, and intentional. Having someone we fully trusted while away gave us so much peace of mind. Jennifer went above and beyond, and we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone looking for a caring, patient, attentive, and reliable sitter for their pet(s). We’ll absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Thanks again, Jennifer!!! 🙏❤️

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Emerald Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Emerald Hills on Rover is $26.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 4,012 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Emerald Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
