Paige was great! We came to San Diego with our pups on a trip and wanted to spend extra time away from our airbnb. She gave them some company and let them out. She sent me pictures while she was there and made us feel comfortable being away from our babies longer. Thank you!!

About: Growing up wanted a dog but my parents allow it so did the next best thing which was dog sit for my neighbors. So I have many years of experience sitting all types of dogs. Love the company of a wonderful dog. There’s nothing like the energy from a happy pup that loves to play. I just started training for a half marathon I’ll be running in March, so if your dog is used to or if you want me get him/her active, i would be able to do so. I’m working from home currently so I have a flexible schedule and would love nothing more than spend some quality time with your precious pup. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your amazing pup.

About: Hi pet guardians! Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs. Please take a moment to review my bio and if you think I would be a good fit I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂 _____ About Me _____ I am a certified and insured dog trainer specialized in the area of applied canine ethology (dog socialization, and body language). _____ Experience, Education & Philosophy _____ I've done a lot of work in kennels, shelters and with rescue organizations, rehabilitating dogs with behavioral issues. I have a BSc in Psychology from the University of Central Florida, a certification in Canine Agonistic Behavior from Cambridge University's Ethology Institute, and I'm also a trainer in good standing with the Pet Professionals Guild. I'm a Fear Free practitioner, a positive (R+) trainer, and I adhere to ethical standards for modern, humane, science-based training. I treat every dog like my own, and the way I would hope to be treated if I was in their position: with endless patience, kindness, and sensitivity. All dogs in my care enjoy a managed environment prioritizing safety, comfort, fairness, and fun. Good manners are encouraged through the day with numerous opportunities to earn rewards, and I keep an anxiety-soothing routine with healthy periods of play, rest, mental stimulation, and physical exercise. Shy dogs get all the space they need and can initiate interaction on their terms, clingy dogs get lots of love and attention, and energetic dogs get engaged with lots of games and physical exertion!

About: I love animals, I am very meticulous when it comes to pet care and what needs to be done for them to thrive, be safe, and healthy. I am a firm believer that a pet is a vital part of a family and will always treat them as such. If you have any special needs or requests for your pet, no matter how complex or intricate it might be, I will be happy to do so to in order for them to feel comfortable and for you to breathe easy knowing your baby is taken care of with the upmost care in your absence. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I am responsible for my cat Pepe from hygine, feedings, play time, vet visits, and anything else he might need to thrive. I am a substitute teacher and don't always have the opportunity to work. This would be the perfect way to get extra income with my free time that I would absolutely love doing. Whatever needs to be done, will be done in a timely manner and according to schedule. I would take care of any pet as if it was my own, because that's what they deserve. I have always loved animals and would thrive in a role where I could help them, meet their needs, and get some quality time with them.

Wow! Emily is the best sitter I’ve had in a long time. I booked her for a long visit, and was so nervous to be away from my cat. But Emily gave me reassurances by sending me photos and updates on my cats behavior. It’s a really good sign that my shy but loving kitty warmed up to her so quickly, and was even waiting for her by the window on their last visit! Emily also took care of my plants, which was so essential too. I would 10/10 hire her for your pet sitting needs, I will surely be doing the same next time I need a sitter ❤️

About: Animals have been a passion of mine since I can remember. I know each dog or cat has their own way they behave and react to the world. It’d be a special privilege to learn how your pet thinks and the way they need to be loved. I’ve been told I have a sort of “gift” In my childhood, I’d help my grandma in her groomshop to calm dogs when they’re nervous and scared. Offering that animal a tiny bit of comfort truly feeds my soul and I’d like to experience that as much as I can in this lifetime. I will always abide by your rules because that’s exactly what I’d want someone to do for my own pets. It creates a peace of mind for you knowing that your precious babies are well taken care of.

Amber was super chill when I met her- I’m always hesitant to leave my cat and keys with someone I don’t really know, but Amber felt trustworthy. She did a good job taking care of my cat. She fulfilled all of my requests and sent photos, really glad someone was there to care my cat, Princess, while I was on holiday. Definitely will book again.

About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I’m a stay at home mom providing a safe, comfortable, and attentive home environment for dogs while their families are away. Our home is set up with dogs in mind, including a large, fully enclosed .25 acre backyard where they can get fresh air, play, and explore safely. We also have Luna, our friendly 7 year old dog, who enjoys the company of other dogs and can provide companionship for pups who are comfortable around other dogs. I’ve had dogs most of my life and have experience caring for dogs through all stages of life. I previously had my dog Cal from puppyhood through his battle with cancer, which taught me the importance of patience, medication management, special care, and paying attention to each dog’s individual needs. Because I’m home full time, your dog will have plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and won’t be left alone for long periods. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, and I’ll work to keep them comfortable by following their normal schedule and preferences. Whether your dog loves playing in the yard, going on walks, relaxing at home, or simply having someone nearby, I’d love the opportunity to care for them. I’ll treat your pet like they are part of our family while making sure you receive updates and feel confident they are safe and happy.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Emerald Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Emerald Hills on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,128 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
  • 95% 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.
