About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was around 8, always having a dog in the home and a wide variety! From smalll dogs to large dogs and various breeds I’ve had the great opportunity of being able to take care of them all! I have a hybrid work schedule throughout the week that allows me to work from home so I’m typically always able to accommodate and be there for your pups! I have two yards, the backyard being completely fenced and spacious for your fur baby. I have two friendly black labrador neutered males who are very well socialized and can easily keep your pets company if you’d like! I also offer your pet their own space if you prefer that! If your pet is crate trained, I can accommodate that as well. There will be multiple potty breaks and play times for your pet while they are here!

I've done dog, cat, and reptile sitting for navy personnel since moving to San Diego last year. I am an all around pet lover and enthusiast. I am currently a bored house wife with a lot of spare time and love to give. I'm available any day of the week and any time of day. I own three cats all of varying ages, and 5 reptiles my bearded dragon ive have had since 2024 and my other 4 reptiles Ball Python, African Fat Tail Gecko, Sulcata Tortise, and Berber Skink I've owned since 2025. All of my pets are on a set schedule with varying diets and feeding schedules. When taking care of others animals as well as my own I make sure I'm following their routine and making sure they're comfortable and feel loved and cared for and I'm also a huge advocate for respecting animals boundaries.
“She has been absolutely amazing! When my husband and I need a dog walker in the future we will definitely be rebooking through her. Thoughtful and so great with Ziggy that my dog jumps for joy when she comes by to get her :)”
“This was my first time using Rover for any services, and I’m entirely pleased with the care that my puppy received! I have a busy schedule and adopted a new puppy that needs more attention than I can give right now, and Dana helped my puppy transition to her new life. I came home every day to a clean space, and a happy puppy! Dana is a reliable and caring puppy sitter!!”
About: As an animal lover, I’ve grown up with all sorts of critters for my entire life (dogs, cats, birds, and even a pot belly pig – oh my!). One day I’d like to have an animal sanctuary. My favorite thing is getting to know a pet and making them feel safe and comfortable while I’m taking care of them. Pet care is a daily part of my life already since I have a couple of senior fur babies at home! I have a flexible work schedule so I can always make sure that I’m a part of your pet’s day when I’m taking care of them. Trust is a big part of hiring a pet sitter. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow any instructions a pet parent gives me with walking, feeding, and behavior. I’ll make sure that every pet gets extra love while you’re away.

“Jade is the best! Our now-13wk puppy loves playing with her! Jade is great with sending updates and is very diligent with all care instructions.”
“My pup is incredibly special to me, and I’m very particular about who I trust to take care of him. Samantha’s service blew me away! She is so detail-oriented, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about my little guy. She kept me updated on everything and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. My pup has certain quirks, and she handled each one with patience, love, and care. I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver!”

“Olivia is reliable, friendly, patient, and communicative - all the traits you look for in someone caring for your pet. She did a great job with my dog and sent plenty of pictures. She’ll be the go to for future needs when I’m out of town and would absolutely recommend her to anyone else!”
About: I’ve been a dog & cat dad and been an uncle to many more over the years. I have lived with pets all my life. Most recently, 2 years with a Shih Tzu, Sola, and have cared for her throughout our time together. I have watched over my friend’s pets for weeks on end and enjoy the time we spend together. I love seeing the bond between people and their furry friends! I have helped raised a surprise litter of puppies, trained them, and helped them find good homes! We still keep in contact with their new loving families! I am currently working from home on a part time schedule, so my schedule is pretty open and flexible. I can accommodate to most schedules and carry my work with me. Sola has two small homes she uses as her safety zone. A crate is for when she is feeling stressed and a fuzzy home for when she wants privacy. We have an understanding to not cross her boundaries and when she enters those spaces, we give her the privacy she requests. Understanding animals boundaries is important to me, for my safety, their wellbeing, and to maintain trust, especially if I’m a stranger to them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Emerald Hills
Margaret was amazing with my dog during her weekend visit. She arrived promptly for every single visit and was very diligent with being communicative if she had any questions. She always responded quickly if I reached out to her. It was a huge weight off my chest knowing that she was there to take care of my dog! Would definitely recommend and will rebook!
Christine is great! I would definitely book her again. My cat is very shy and usually hides from strangers, but Christine took her time and used a gentle approach to warm up to her. She was incredibly reliable, provided fantastic updates and photos while I was away, and gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend her!
We had a wonderful experience and couldn’t be more grateful for the excellent care she gave our Corgi! Communication was great, and we felt completely comfortable throughout the entire stay. Thank you for taking such great care of our Brew! We would absolutely recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sabrina again!
Alexis was so kind, communicative and reliable! My dog LOVED her and I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. She is doing Rover because she loves animals and just wants to be around them more as her schedule allows for the flexibility. I will definitely be using her services again!
Natasha was amazing to work with. Always answering my messages within an hour or less. She kept me updated during my whole trip with detailed messages and photos. Lots of play time and attention for Noodle which was greatly appreciated! Would definitely rebook and recommend Natasha to anyone looking for a really caring cat sitter!
Responded very quickly to my last minute request. Lucas was very polite and respectful. I’m normally someone who has a very hard time entrusting someone with my pets but Lucas made me feel very confident and comfortable. I have very large reactive dogs and right from the jump they seemed very safe and happy in his care. Couldn’t recommend him enough. I was able to enjoy my vacation in peace!
Stephanie is truly an animal whisperer . She was so good with our cat Mona and gave her the space and attention that she needed. We felt so comfortable with her taking care of Mona , we are going to book a week vacation now knowing we can feel confident to leave our baby girl .
Sarah is amazing. she will love your baby like her own. super reliable. a great communicator. gets the best photos. leaves your home the way she found it. so kind. everything is doable for her, you can tell she actually enjoys doing this ❤️ bunny pees in excitement every time Sarah comes through the door.
Savannah was so wonderful! She was very responsive, flexible with last minute changes and it was clear that out pet really enjoyed her! She also helped bring in packages while we were gone, and kept us updated on a few houshold items that came up during our trip. Would highly recommend, and will definetly be booking her again for our next trip!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Emerald Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Emerald Hills is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 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 November 2026, there are 9,076 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Emerald Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Emerald Hills. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
