“We couldn’t have found a better sitter! Tara was super friendly, helpful and made us feel very secure during our trip that our 3 doggies were in good hands. Tara was patient with one our anxious dogs and he loved her! She helped give meds and injections to our other dog and made them all feel loved and not alone. Our doggies were happy in all the pictures and updates Tara sent and she left detailed notes on each visit. Beyond grateful finding Tara and will def book for future trips we have planned. Thank you so much again!!”
“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.”
“We used Emily for a daily drop in for our cat while we were in Hawaii. We were temporarily staying in an RV park in Chula Vista and she was very accommodating. 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!”
“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.”
“Kalista was absolutely fantastic with our cat, who needed liquid oral medication administered twice daily. We have only had this cat in our lives for a few months and this was his first cat sitting experience. We were really nervous about someone else being able to administer the meds, but Kalista was able to gain our cat’s trust and make it happen. She spent quality time with him and soon he was purring and being sweet with her which we weren’t sure would happen. She was very communicative and we felt confident for our entire two week trip. We will absolutely ask Kalista to come back — the peace of mind was so incredibly appreciated. She’s so good at this!”
“Garrett was excellent with my pup Theo! Theo is a high energy dog who can be anxious and dog reactive. This was the longest I have left my pup and I was very nervous and stressed to find someone who would work well with him. Garrett was great with Theo and made me feel at ease with his check ins and updates. I highly recommend Garrett and will definitely book with him again if I need someone I can trust to take care of my pup!”

“William went above and beyond caring for my dogs. I have two high energy large breed dogs, a German shepherd and a Labrador retriever. William handled them very well, my dogs love him and I can tell he really cares about them when he’s baby sitting them. He sends me pictures and communicates about their visit. He is very trustworthy, made sure my dogs were safe and comfortable and made me feel very comfortable leaving them under his care. I am very glad to have found him and will definitely be hiring him again!”
“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 :)”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Emerald Hills
We absolutely love Brittany!! She’s our go-to for our babies and always takes such great care of them. She sends the BEST pictures and updates, and we always feel so much better knowing she’s checking in on our kitties. Our little crew loves her, and so do we! 🥹🐱💕
Christine was amazing! She took great care of our two cats and kept us updated on them while we were gone. One of our cats has a medical need and she was more than capable of handling that and our young kitten with tons energy! I would recommend her to anyone. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!
She did such a great job taking care of my cat! She was caring, responsible, and very easy to communicate with. I could tell she genuinely cared about my cat, which meant so much to me. I really appreciated her help and would highly recommend her to other pet parents! 🐾❤️
Honestly stellar sitter. We’ve had so many over the years. Some good and some who needed more practice. And in my opinion Nichole is someone who should be training sitters. Care and professionalism and attention to detail! You can tell she has a ton of experience caring for animals. Will absolutely be booking regularly for our fur babies.
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!!
Eileen was such a kind young lady and took such good care of our sweet Otis. 🩵 She took him out as requested and made sure he felt safe and secure while I was gone. We would absolutely request her in the future…thank you again so much Eileen for your wonderful care for our sweet boy! God bless!
Brenda is an amazing pet sitter. She is always on time and really cares about pets in her care. She communicates very well and helped with administering medications to my cat. I would highly recommend her and my cat, who was very fond of her, would recommend her as well.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Emerald Hills stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 pet, 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.
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.
