About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart!! With years of hand on experience caring for pets, I understand that they're not just animals, they're cherished members of the family. I've spent much of my life caring for animals with different personalities, temperaments, and individual needs. Whether it's an energetic pup who loves to play, a laid back companion who enjoys relaxing, or a cat who prefers affection on their own terms. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and personalized attention. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members, and I strive to provide the same level of love, respect, and attention that I would want for my own pets. My goal is simple: happy pets, peace of mind for their owners, and plenty of love along the way!! Pet care fits into my schedule very well, I'm a stay at home mom already and available pretty much all week long to take care of your fur family. I don't do too much during the weeks, I do need to take my son to daycare twice or so a week but it's a quick trip, and I come home immediately after. I can confidently say that you fur baby will be will attended to, even if they prefer their space I will be there for them. For caring for animals in my or others home, I am first respectful to them, and let them lead the experience. If they are shy I don't startle them or rush them. I am gentle and patient with all fur babies. I follow routine very well and the more detailed a list is for care the better I can be for them, as every pet's needs vary from each other.

“Arianna was a fantastic sitter! I was initially anxious about leaving my cat for a 15-day trip, especially since he has diabetes and thyroid issues that require specifically timed twice-daily medication. This was my first time using Rover, but Arianna put me completely at ease. My cat is typically shy around new people, but he warmed up to her almost immediately, which really speaks to her gentle and careful nature. I received regular updates and photos throughout my vacation, allowing me to fully enjoy my time away knowing he was in excellent hands. Highly recommended! Thank you Arianna!”

About: Your pet deserves more than just a sitter they deserve someone who treats them like family! With 5 years of pet care experience and as a proud dog mom of two, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and passionate about making every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, maintaining routines, or simply providing extra cuddles and companionship, I make sure every pet receives personalized care.

Destiny went above and beyond what we expected in order to make sure that we enjoyed our vacation without worrying. She was even flexible with the schedule, and allowed us to update to overnight stays without much notice. She sent us updates and pictures regularly, and called whenever she had a question or noticed something odd. We could enjoy or vacation knowing Cleo was in such great and caring hands. We have already booked her again for an upcoming event!”

About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies learning the basics to senior pups who need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic puppy training, including potty and crate routines, leash manners, and basic commands, and I’m happy to follow whatever training methods you use at home. I also have plenty of experience with senior dogs and understand the importance of adjusting walks, playtime, and daily routines to their individual mobility, energy level, and needs. I’m experienced in caring for multiple pets at once and managing different personalities, feeding schedules, walks, and routines. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else; they’re part of the family and I’ll always treat them with the same patience, attention, and care I’d want for my own. I’m currently training and teaching jiu jitsu classes which allows me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to play with and care for your pets. Im able to build my schedule around your pets specific needs or energy levels and love going for little adventures to the park, beach, or where ever your pets favorite spot is! I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m clean, tidy, and mindful of your space while making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their normal routine. For overnight or multi-night stays, my dog Lola does need to accompany me. She is a sweet, senior Rat Terrier who is accustomed to being around other pets. I typically provide daily photos and updates but am happy to provide whatever makes you comfortable in knowing your pet is in good hands.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Emerald Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Emerald Hills is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $38 per visit. 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 4,166 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 .

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.

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 .

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 , 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.
