“Brian was amazing. The dogs loved having someone check on them. It gave me piece of mind. He was patient with me as I am new to rover. He came and met them before his scheduled time. I will book him again for certain”
“Amazing dog sitter! Took great care of my dogs, kept me updated, and made me feel comfortable while I was away. Reliable, caring, and I would definitely book again. Highly recommend!””
“I can't say enough about how great Jamie was with our 3 cats! I'm a bit of a picky pet parent and Jamie did a wonderful job of checking off every need of our furry friends. I highly recommend her!”
“Great does trie experience with Rover and choosing Cristina. She’s punctual in her visits, and sends updates and photos of how it went. When needed, I’ll be sure to reach out again!”
“I hired Anna for the first time to watch my three cats while I was out of the country. She was very accommodating when it came to meeting up to pick up and drop off my house keys. She did a great job sitting my kitties, giving them much needed love and attention, and sending lots of pics and daily updates. I will definitely be hiring Anna again in the future when I need a cat sitter!!”
“Charis was punctual and sent me a note and several pictures. Prior to the visit, she made this overprotective pet mom feel better by engaging in a video chat. As I ended up in the ER with my husband on the same day, Charis did not hesitate to accept my request for her to come back that night but it ended up not being necessary.”
“I couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how much they truly love and understand animals. They gave my pup so much attention, daily walks, playtime, and even sent me regular updates with photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and loving sitter—you won’t find better!”
“Our experience was excellent! Varsha was incredibly reliable, and her frequent updates gave us great peace of mind while we were away. What impressed us most was how she always put our cats' well-being first. She took the time to interact with them based on their personalities, and before long they were comfortable and happy with her. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them. We would absolutely love to have her look after our cats again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Another wonderful sitting for our animals-they are so well cared for when we are away! Nicole cares for them like they were her own. I always have peace If mind they are in great hands. Thank you again.”
“Suzie has been so awesome looking after our 3 girls. This is a big task these days as my 2 cats and my husband’s 1 cat are still integrating! Many thanks to Suzie for giving us peace of mind while away!!🤍”
“She is amazing! Thank you so much Cindy! Took care of my kitty so well. She kept me updated, sending me so many pictures. Cindy is professional and always on time. Highly recommend 👍🏻🤍”
“Emma! What a blessing it was for us to have you check in on Scooby while we were away. This was our first time using the service and it was so easy to navigate and communicate with Emma. We returned home to a happy dog who was well cared for in our absence. We look forward to rebooking with Emma.”
“Lacole was a great pet sitter for our 2 cats! She made a great effort to play with them, clean up around the litter boxes and other areas of the house, as well as send picture updates! Will definitely book in the future! Cannot recommend her enough.”
“Meaghan has checked in on our cat Olive a few times now. I know when Meaghan is looking after our fur-baby that she is being well cared for. She sends updates with messages and pictures, which puts my mind at ease while I am away. I feel comfortable having her come into our home while we're away knowing that things will be exactly as they were when we left them. Thank you for your work, Meaghan!”

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Emerson on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Emerson 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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 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.
