About: I have taken care of all animals since I was a kid. I grew up with 4 cats and 2 dogs, and foster kittens now as well. I have pet sit for many friends and family members as well as my own. I graduated college and am currently getting my teaching credential for elementary school. All of my school work is online and I have pretty open availability throughout the day! I am a college graduate earning my teaching credential online, so I have open availability. I will be working Mondays and Tuesdays 7-3 but I am completely free all other days! I will make sure to follow all of my clients rules when it comes to pet sitting, and feel comfortable with whatever they are comfortable with.

“I am so grateful to Monique, she did such a great job helping to take care of our Yoyo while we were out of town. My dog is not always easy but took right to Monique.

I will definitely be reaching out to Monique again and appreciate her so much.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years. While also having my own at some points in life while I currently do not have any pets now I would love to spend some of my time helping people with their pets. I currently have a full time job but I am available most days any time after 3pm and some weekends. I’ m not very busy after work so that’s why I want to start taking care of some pets. I live in a house which has its own yard so I have plenty of room for dogs to play and run around. But I prefer to just help other take their dogs out when they are busy
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 7 years old. I have experience walking dogs, feeding pets, cleaning up, and spending time with them. I have two pets of my own a black cat named velvet and a goldendoodle dog named Chloe. Im currently working on part time, im available Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies!! And we’ll have lots of fun together hopefully. I have a smaller backyard but it’s spacious I also live in more of a small neighborhood so there’s a lot of sidewalks for walking your fur babies
About: I’ve had pets and taken care of them since I was a kid. Whenever I’ve had pets I always have treated them like if they were my babies and I don’t just care them as animals. I love treating them really good and making them happy. I currently working every day except Thursdays and Fridays. I always get out as 6 and I don’t have a lot of daily after work activities so I just spent a lot of time at home with my own fur baby. I have a cat of my own and he’s very playful so he would make sure your own fur baby is never feeling alone and has fun playing with him. I have various space for playtime.
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.

I am available for both Dog walking and drop in visits depending on your pet's needs. About Me: I have been in the animal care field sense 2004. But have been an avid pet lover and equestrian my whole life!

With commutation being my #1 goal owner can have peace of mind while they are way and letting their furry baby live their best life! Why I love Pet sitting: I have always been an animal lover and have even made a career out of it! Being a house sitter is one of my favorite parts of being a pet sitter because it allows pets to feel more at ease, have less separation anxiety, and feel comfortable sticking to their normal routine. You'll come home to the happy and healthy pets you had when you left! My experience administering medication * Giving your pet oral medications (pills or liquid) * Giving injections - SQ fluids, Insulin, ect. * Applying medications in your dogs eyes and ears * Applying topical medications, flush and cleaning wounds * Recognizing, Understanding, and Handling Emergency situations Caring for pets is what I do full-time! As a bonded and insured professional pet sitter, my days revolve around caring for dogs and cats. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, medications, or overnight stays, your pets receive my full attention and personalized care while you're away. I truly treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes through dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. I believe pets are happiest and least stressed when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. During each visit, I follow your pet's personalized care instructions, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of affection. My dog walks are one-on-one, allowing me to give each dog my full attention while keeping them safe and engaged. For overnight stays, I maintain your pet's daily routine from evening through morning, providing companionship, regular potty breaks, meals, medications, and lots of love while you're away. After every visit, I send detailed updates with photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind. As a bonded and insured professional with years of veterinary experience, I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and respect I would give my own.
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 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.
“Irania is respectful, sweet, and responsible. She was extremely punctual and always kept me up to date with exactly what was going on. My dog is 90lbs of playful energy, but that didn't phase Irania. They bonded instantly. I couldn't have asked for a more reliable sitter/walker. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking looking for pet care they can count on.”
About: My experience includes caring for puppies, senior pets, multi-pet households, birds, rabbits, fish, reptiles, chickens, and pets with unique routines or care requirements. Having worked with many different species over the years, I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's individual needs and personality. Our daytime availability is expanding as I shift away from retail work, but we still recommend that your pet be comfortable being alone for moderate stretches of time. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely; feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions; to help them feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I treat your home with care and provide regular updates so you can relax while you're away.

Zach was absolutely incredible! He took such good care of my doggo while we were away for a few days! He made sure he was loved on and maintained (brushed him and then even swept the house). He gave me consistent updates and sent lots of pictures! A very kind and thoughtful caregiver! Will definitely be using him again if/when we go away next!
We just started with Ana, and I already really trust her. She’s been reliable and flexible — I asked her to come earlier than originally planned because of the heat, and she happily accommodated. I can tell she genuinely cares about Iggy; she’s patient with his quirks and makes sure he’s calm and happy before she leaves. She’s also very thorough with photo updates and notes, which I really appreciate. I feel completely comfortable having her in my apartment. Highly recommend!
One of our dogs is very wary of new people and takes a long time to warm up to them. Not with Kali. She met him once before we left on vacation. Her first walk it took him 2 blocks to chill out. After that he was so stoked to see her and leave the house with her. Dogs came back so happy and fully exercised. Highly recommend. Will 100% use her again.
Danielle is wonderful! She’s timely, always communicative and provides such sweet care for our pup. We have an excited pup and Danielle is quick to calm her down and start walking. Our girl comes back home worn out and happy :) I would definitely recommend Danielle.
William is fantastic to work with. From our very first interaction, he is extremely communicative, professional, and attentive. He took the time to ask thoughtful questions to get to know Gucci, her personality, routines, preferences, and any special needs. It was clear that he genuinely cared about providing the best possible experience for her. His attention to detail, communication, and genuine love for pets truly set him apart.
Janet takes such great care of my dogs and makes it so much easier to be away from them. She’s attentive, patient, communicative, and my dogs absolutely love her. They always get plenty of exercise, attention, and quality care, and are happy and relaxed when I get home. I absolutely trust Janet with my pets and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker or sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Emerald Hills on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 9,258 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Emerald Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Emerald Hills. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Emerald Hills.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Emerald Hills. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
