âWe had the pleasure of having Serenidy take care of our dog, Buster, in our home. She was awesome! She took excellent care of Buster, following all our instructions for him. She was great about staying in touch with us throughout our time away and sent lots of photos of Buster to us. She took excellent care of our home during her stay and made sure we came home to a clean house. We highly recommend Serenidy and look forward to her staying with Buster again in the future!â

âAlyssa did a great job watching our pup while we were out of town for a few days. She sent us pictures everyday. She checked up on our pup as agreed, weâll definitely ask her to watch our Little Lailah in the future.â

About: What sets me apart is that I truly care about getting to know each pet as an individual. I donât believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I want them to feel comfortable, happy, and loved while youâre away. Iâm dependable, attentive, and happy to give your pets the extra attention they deserve. Whether itâs a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, Iâll treat your pets like theyâre my own. I also love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. My goal is simple: for your pets to have a fun, comfortable experience and for you to feel completely confident knowing theyâre being cared for. đžâ¤ď¸ Pet care fits naturally into my routine because Iâm dependable, organized, and enjoy making time to give pets the attention and care they need. Iâm happy to work walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and cuddles into my schedule while following each petâs usual routine as closely as possible. I plan ahead so I can be consistent and present during each visit, rather than rushing through care. I also make time to send pet parents updates and photos, helping you feel connected and reassured while youâre away. I like to think of pet sitting as stepping into a petâs world without disrupting it. I pay attention to the small detailsâtheir favorite spot to nap, the sound they make when they want attention, the toys they ignore, and the routines that help them feel at ease. My goal is to make your absence feel as uneventful as possible for them. During each visit, Iâll follow your instructions carefully while adding plenty of patience, playtime, affection, walks, meals, fresh water, litter box care, and whatever else your pet needs. I wonât treat the visit like a quick checklist; Iâll take the time to notice how your pet is doing and respond to their personality and mood. Iâll also leave your home even better than I found it and keep you updated with thoughtful messages and photosânot just proof that I stopped by, but little glimpses of how your pet is spending their day.
âCheney did a great job caring for our puppy! She has such a sweet, understanding, fun demeanor and our dog loved her! She kept us updated throughout the time she watched our pup and she was extremely timely with her communication before the visit. We will definitely book with Cheney again!â

âSara took care of our little Lexie and housesat for us while we went out of town for Memorial Day weekend. She sent lots of pictures and checked in on aa regular basis. After meeting her the first time, I felt very comfortable trusting her with these responsibilities. We are thankful we found her on Rover and will definitely hire her again!â

âCindy has come and puppy sat our 5 month old Beagle in our home for 2 days so far while my husband and I were at work. We were nervous as this is our first dog and first time using Rover. Cindy put us at such ease! She was GREAT with our boy and sent us updates during the day with pictures. We will definitely be using her more.â

About: Iâve had dogs and cats my whole life. Throughout high school I dog sat and house sat while friends and family were away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Emerson
Wow, Karen was incredible! She stayed in our home with our sweet older boy who loved her. From a wonderful meet and greet, to our long weekend stay she had in our home, it was flawless! Our boy is normally sad when we leave, but from the pics and updates, and by how he was when we got home, Karen did a fantastic job! He had a great time and wasnât even scared of the July 4th fireworks due to Karenâs attentive and calm company. She respected our home so well, too, Iâll ask her back again for sure! Highly highly recommended!

Alicia is the best! She has been our go-to cat sitter for my senior kitties over the past few years. It is so comforting to know that they are in such caring hands while we are away from them. One of my kitties has some special needs and she takes such great care of him. She keeps us well informed during her stay with photos and texts of their escapades. I highly recommend Alicia for any cat-sitting needs you may have.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Emerson is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $114 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Emerson walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Emerson maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Emerson choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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 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 Justiceâs 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.

- 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.
