About: I've loved being around animals for as long as I can remember. I started helping take care of my grandparents' two Golden Retrievers when I was around 9 or 10 years old, and as I got older I helped feed them, let them outside, played with them, and made sure they were happy and comfortable. I also have my own dogs. I've had my small dog for about a year, and we recently welcomed a medium-sized dog to our family. I've also checked in on a neighbor's cats for a short time while they were away. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm patient, dependable, and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I'll follow your care instructions closely, keep you updated, and treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I'm available most days to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I have college on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I'm available before and after class. On Thursdays, I'm available in the evenings. I'll do my best to work with your schedule and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications if needed, and any routines your pet is used to. I'll make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment. I treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own dogs
“Ethan was accommodating to my schedule change, and my little fur babies appear to enjoy their walk very much. Love the pictures that were sent and would definitely recommend. I look forward to reaching out to Ethan again for more walks.”
About: [ Pet-sitting taken seriously for your peace of mind! ] Growing up in a household full of creatures, I’ve taken care of dogs, kitties, birds, bunnies, and a pig! I have a deep love for animals and bugs. Most recently I’ve helped handle and raise puppies!! While I understand how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pets at home while you’re away, pet-sitters like me are here to monitor your pets and provide them the detailed care they deserve in the meantime. Your pets deserve the patience, attention to detail, and unconditional love I'm looking to help provide. I promise to take special care of your sweet furry family members! ♡ My schedule is open! Rover is my priority at this time. There is plenty of room in my schedule so I can take special care of your fur babies! Every morning I make sure my pets have fresh water, and then we get the zoomies out with some exercise! All of the animals in my house eat at specified times, some twice a day. I am sensitive to their needs and do notice as their behavior shifts day-to-day.
About: Hello Pet Owners, I work from home most days and have plenty of time for drop ins, walks and overnight stays. I will do my best to make time away from your pets as stress free as possible. I have experience administering medications if needed. I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs. I am available weekdays and weekends. Being away from your pet is stressful and I’m here to make it easier knowing your pet is in good hands. I will keep your pets as close as possible based on their needs. Communication is key and will provide updates and photos at least twice a day
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was old enough to do so. My family has never had less that 4 dogs at a time and we always adopt/rescue. Even since moving out, I still go back home to take care of the pet there. I cut their nails, wash them, play games with them, and cuddle them and give them love. I’ve also given medications to dogs as well as occasionally trimmed their fur. I have a very open schedule because I am in the midst of applying for my graduate degree in family and marriage counseling. I am applying for online programs so that I can create my schedule around working. I can feed, walk, play, bathe, brush and provide lots of love for you dog. If you have additional requests such as cleaning their ears or clipping there nails I am also able to do so depending on your dog’s temperament. I love animals and it brings me joy to take care of them.
About: Hi, my name is Tessa and I am 29 years old with a bachelors of science in biology from Penn State University. I have been an animal lover ever since I was little and have grown myself professionally in the animal field over the last several years! I am a trained professional in administering medication via orally and through injection, therefore, if your pet needs any medication I will not have an issue administering it. I have cared for dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, thus, the size and breed of your dog is irrelevant to me. I have owned dogs who were partially blind, completely deaf, had autoimmune diseases and one in which had epilepsy. Special needs pets and reactive pets are welcome in my care. If you are looking for a responsible, knowledgeable animal caretaker- look no further! My schedule is currently completely open on Saturdays and Sundays when it comes to making sure your fur baby is well cared for from 6:00am-11:30pm. When walking your pup, rest assured, they will be leashed at all times. If you would like off leash exercise for your dog, we will remain in a secured area for the safety of your dog.
“Claudia has been fantastic in going to walk Bodhi. She’s communicative and takes lots of pictures & Bodhi really likes their walking adventures. He was very receptive of her from the first meeting so I’m thrilled to have her stopping by a few times a week to take him outside while I’m at work.”
“We feel very fortunate to have found Sheawna. She takes excellent care of my two dogs, and her communication and punctuality are outstanding. My dogs adore her and get excited every time they see her. I highly recommend her.”
“Meaghan is awesome! She's great with dogs and was very good at accommodating my schedule. She has a personality that just fits someone who is great with animals. She is timely and I loved the pic she sent after the walk.”
About: I have always loved caring for pets! When my childhood dog, Rusty, passed away 11 years ago, I adopted my sweet Zazu. I grew up caring for all of the neighborhood pets and turned it into a side business a few years ago! Most of my clients have moved away or moved to working from home now though, so I am excited to make new furry (or fluffy, feathered, what have you) friends! I am currently at home all day! I can take your baby to the park, on frequent walks, etc. My full time responsibility is making sure your pup is safe, relaxed, and entertained! I live in a cozy pet-loving neighborhood with a fenced in backyard. I am happy to leave your baby in the crate or roaming free in the rare case that I am gone. My dog is sweet and mild-mannered, but also gets along with playful pups! She is shy at first and might hide for an hour or two, but she always ends up best friends with other animals! I call her the “cat whisperer” because she has a weird talent for befriending even the meanest cats!
About: I will do everything I can to make sure your animal has a blast! I have grown up with animals my entire life. Not only do I have experience pet-sitting, I once owned two dogs, four cats, two gerbils, two frogs, three turtles, and over 20 fish at once, so I know how to take care of a house full! I know what makes dogs and cats upset and what can calm them down. I will run and play with your animals so they won't be as rambunctious when you get back! I will always let your animal smell me and warm up to me before I approach them. Dogs need a lot of energy and love. They need someone that will always be willing to run around with them or play tug-of-war. Cats need someone a little more calm that wants to pet them or sometimes play with toys. I will ensure that they will be well taken care and loved like they have never been loved before!! I will send as many or as little pictures and videos of us having fun as you like!

About: I'm a sahm so I have flexible hours! I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own, including a senior dog. I have tons of experience with puppies, kittens and administration of medication. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is flexible. I do go to the gym everyday so I would need to be able to do that. My son, he's 7would be with me during the week but if it was overnights for the weekend he would not. I do not care for pets in my own home it would need to be your home. I'm happy to house sit and take them on walks.
“Stephanie was wonderful, responded quickly and was able to walk my 85 pound golden/ aussie mix, within hours which I love. Hes always a good guess of charcter and walked right up to her. He came back so happy with his tongue hanging out! Would recommend.”
“Ashlee is an incredibly caring sitter and walker. She communicates often and lets me know if something doesn’t seem right with my pup. She also has gone out of her way to check in when my pup is sick and has the ability to administer medication. She has been so great and my pup loves her. I highly recommend Ashlee. She is responsible, caring, and an overall wonderful person. She is by far the best walker I’ve had so far.”

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 Emerson. 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 Emerson.

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 Emerson. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
