House Sitting in Emerson

“James kept us informed, kept our high energy dog happy and cared for. He took her on walks where she met other dogs to play with. He took her with him on short trips out of town. He followed feeding and care instructions well. He left our home in great shape, took out the garbage and kept everything clean and ready for us. He was very conservative of any resources to which we gave him permission to use or to consume. We highly recommend James!”

“I highly recommend CeeCee for your pet and home sitting needs. We hired her to look after our overly affectionate cat and our quirky pit-mix pup while out of town for 6 days. CeeCee was communicative, sent pictures, and took care of needs as requested, including watering plants. She kept the house tidy, even throwing in a load of wash at the end of her stay. We will definitely be repeat customers for future pet sitting needs.”

“Charlie is amazing!! He took great care of our dog Kira, ensuring she was well-fed, exercised, and given lots of attention. He was attentive to her needs, especially given her sensitive stomach, and kept us updated with regular check-ins. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend! Let me know if you want any tweaks!”

“Alexandra was a wonderful sitter for our home and pets. Animals seemed very comfortable and happy in her company and she sent lovely updates daily. She was very responsive and accommodating and took excellent care of our home. Thanks for everything, Alexandra!”

About: I've had a love for animals as long as I can remember. As a young child finding strays , cats or dogs and caring for them until the owners where found. Love these fur babies and will care for them like my own. I am currently unemployed and love animals and walking -perfect fit! My schedule is open to help when needed. Would love to schedule a meetup with your fur baby. Each pet has its own routine to be discussed prior to my care. Will follow the needs of each pet individually and any additional requirements as needed.

“We have had excellent dog sitting experiences with Yvette! My special needs dog enjoyed her company and it is a tremendous relief to me to have Yvette’s help in managing the care of my dog Angel so I may tend to my own care! I Highly Recommend Yvette! Yvette is timely, kind, provides great communication and a is true animal loving person! Thank you very much from both me and my dog!”

“Stephanie loved my girls as if they were her own. They were well cared for, our home was perfect and as we met on the way out she has a calming and relaxing smile. Stephanie will be one of our family now ??”

“Rachel was FANTASTIC with our 70+ pound Rottweiler/Husky with separation anxiety. She played and engaged with him when his energy was up, and let him lounge and rest when he needed it. We got frequent photo and text updates (and she takes really great doggy photos), and she even did an art project with him. He was happy and relaxed when we got home. Would definitely use her again for dog sitting in our home and might event try boarding him in her home when the need comes up. Thanks Rachel!”

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats throughout my life and have always taken pride in giving them the best care possible. Over the years, my love for animals has only grown—especially for cats. As I got older, that bond became even stronger, which eventually led me to having four cats of my own, all of whom I love deeply and care for like family. What sets me apart is my genuine connection with animals and my understanding of their unique personalities and needs. Whether it's keeping a shy cat comfortable, giving a senior pet extra patience, or just making sure every little detail is handled with care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. As someone who works from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of free time throughout the day and week to focus on pet care. My remote work is structured in a way that gives me the freedom to plan around pet visits and provide consistent, attentive care. Whether it’s morning check-ins, midday playtime, or evening visits, I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs and make sure your pet gets the time, love, and attention they deserve! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can create a calm, secure environment that feels familiar and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, playtime, or keeping the litter box clean and tidy. I make sure pets feel safe and cared for, and I always keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. At my home, pets have a quiet, cat-friendly space where they can relax without stress or overcrowding. I’m mindful of keeping things clean, secure, and peaceful—especially for more sensitive or shy cats. My goal is always to treat your pet (and your home) with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—rambunctious puppies, playful adults, and sweet seniors. I previously owned my own dog and now work closely with domestic and wild animals at an animal shelter, where I’ve developed the ability to build trust with new pets quickly. My home is currently pet-free, so I’d be thrilled to host your dog and give them my full attention and affection. Whether your pup needs structured care, medication, or just extra belly rubs, I bring patience, intuition, and genuine love to every visit. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. I was recently laid off and now work limited hours outside of the house, so I spend most of my time at home. This makes pet care a perfect fit for my lifestyle—I truly enjoy the companionship and having a pet around keeps my routine joyful and active. I'm able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax and feel at ease. My home includes central air conditioning and heat to keep pets comfortable and safe during peak seasons, and there’s an elevator available for animals with mobility issues. I take time to build trust with each pet, follow their routines closely, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. Your pet will be treated with the same love and care I’d give my own.

“Milena stayed at our house with our 2 dogs and she was great! We came home to happy dogs and a clean house! She kept us posted with pictures and updates. I highly recommend her and look forward to booking her in the future!!”

“Pete went above and beyond! Incredible job as far as attention to detail and instructions. Very nice guy who kept us completely in the loop the entire time we were gone. Pete is easily the best dogsitter we’ve ever had and our dogs can’t wait to have him back. Whatever is above a perfect rating is what we’d rate him.”

Todd S.

“Amanda is awesome! She took great care of our senior dog while we were on vacation. She was extremely patient and attentive to her needs, gave her all her meds, and plenty of walks and attention. She was also very communicative which helped ease our anxiety about leaving our dog. I highly recommend her!”

Kaitlyn P.

“Absolutely amazing. She is wonderful and both are pets loved her!!!”

About: I have been taking care of my dog for about 7 years now, I have been feeding him and playing with him, I love them. I work a part time job so in my free time I like walking dogs and seeing other dogs and everything they have to give. I have a fence so he can play when he wants on the deck or if he wants a walk. If they misbehave I can crate them so they can learn.

About: Note: We are currently training our new dog so best services to book are drop-in visits, walks, or sitting at your home. However, some exceptions may be possible for care at our home, feel free to message me to explore, thank you! 👋 Spoil your well-behaved pup in a lap of luxury with a HUGE 1-acre fenced yard that they can roam free in anytime they’d like. Conveniently located just off Route 17, we are a mature, responsible, and drama-free dog auntie and uncle who are both home full time — me as the primary caretaker, and my partner as a backup (if you’d like). It helps make coverage more reliable, and play time feel a lot more like family time for your pup (except no kids). We are not the types to be addicted to our phones because we believe in being present when spending time with fur friends. We also typically don’t take in too many so that we can provide more attention, and be available when you need us. It’s quality over quantity for us! :) Before requesting a stay, please read my “About” section to see if we are a good fit for each other! Ps. I don’t charge if you are late to pickup by a few hours, so don’t worry about that. New Rover Customers: Use my referral link to get $20 off your first service https://www.rover.com/sit/melindac23 I do sometimes get requests to watch pups in NYC but my spouse and I are both currently home in NJ full-time. I believe in mutual respect, gentle care, and transparency, and would treat your pup the same way I would want mine to be cared for. My friends’ furbabies affectionately call me “auntie” :) I understand how being away from your loved one can cause stress or anxiety (unfortunately, we had a bad experience with a sitter once, so I personally relate to this feeling all too well). I can provide multiple updates a day (or less) if you’d like — photos, videos, and even video calls — whatever will help you feel comforted that they are safe and well cared for. We have a unique property, a huge, park-like fully-fenced yard on a cul-de-sac street (but the fence is only 4 ft high, please confirm that your dog cannot jump it). I have a medium size crate if your pups like them. Multiple dog beds throughout the house and no more than 5 stairs anywhere. I’m equipped to take in two dogs at a time, but I don’t have to if you prefer your pup to have a solo stay.

About: I have taken care of pets for over 25 years. I have personally owned pets and I know what it takes to care for them. I am currently retired. I have free time on my schedule to care for your pet(s). I am also flexible with my schedule, if needed. I have a fully fenced in yard, with a nice grass area. My house is big enough for your pet to have space to roam around and play.

About: For the past two years, I’ve been the trusted go-to sitter for my friend’s dog while they travel frequently. My flexible schedule allows me to be readily available when needed, ensuring pets receive consistent care and attention. I treat every dog as if they were my own—always refreshing their water, making sure they have enough food, and spending quality time playing with them. Whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay, I prioritize their happiness and well-being! As a self-employed professional with a super flexible schedule, I can easily plan my day around pet care. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit or a longer stay, I have the flexibility to adjust my routine and ensure pets get the attention they need. Their well-being is always a priority, and I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests or extended stays when needed! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I always refresh their water, ensure they have enough food, take them for walks or playtime, and provide plenty of attention so they feel at ease while their owner is away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m committed to making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for in their own familiar environment.

About: I’m a recent college graduate with degrees in Education and History, and I’ll be starting my career as a teacher this September. For the I’m looking for meaningful summer work—and what could be better than spending time with animals! I’ve been caring for both my own pets and others’ for over 8 years, and I bring the same level of responsibility and attention to detail to pet sitting as I do to the classroom. I’m punctual, dependable, and full of energy—whether your pet needs long walks, playtime at the park, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to provide it. I’m also experienced with a wide range of pet needs, including puppies. I am available Monday - Thursday (after 2:30) as well as Fridays and weekends (any time)! I begin teaching high school in September and availability will differ. In my own home, I spoil my little babies 🥰 I feed my cats dry food twice a day, stock their water fountain with water, keep the dry food stocked, and clean their litter boxes. I give them outside time as long as they stay close or just have the back screen door open to let them see, smell, and hear the nature. Occasionally, I will take them in walks in the kitty stroller with the dog on the leash. When taking care of other people’s cats, I treat them with the same love I would my own. I am happy to care for them in all the same ways, including spending time with them, not just running in and out to feed and clean. I also usually provide photo updates. I take care of my dog by feeding him dry food, letting him out every three hours, taking him on walks as often as possible, giving him snuggles, playing fetch, giving treats, etc. so pretty much treat my dog like a king. I am happy to do the same for you!

“Emily was a wonderful Rover sitter! She watched our dog for a few hours, kept in constant contact, and Shayna absolutely loved her (as evidenced by a super sweet photo of Shayna sleeping on her lap!) We will definitely be reaching out to Emily again in the future.”
