“Jessica was a Godsend. Due to a last minute sitter cancellation that left me scrambling for a long work trip, I found Jessica. Then right before my trip, my pup got an injury. I walked through everything with Jessica and with her prior experience caring for fosters, I knew he was in the right hands while I was away. She took amazing care of my guy, kept me up to date on everything and sent loads of pictures of my guy. I am forever grateful for the care she provided while I was away for an extended period and helping Beckham recover from his injury. Highly recommend booking with Jessica!”
“We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of Morty and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him with her. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and well taken care of. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!”
“Alora did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and cat while we were away on vacation. She was reliable, communicative, and gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were in great hands. She provided lots of photos and updates. We came home to happy, well-cared-for animals, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. We’d definitely recommend her!”

“Akira was amazing with our dog, Ripley! She updated us regularly with pics and we did not stress at all about our pup while on vacation. She watched Ripley in our home and left everything in perfect order. We will absolutely book with Akira again in the future!”
“Chrisztina was amazing with my pet furry boys. She sent me videos and pictures every day. She understood that Oscar has never being boarded or left our sides since he was two months old. Charlie was adjusted fine. Oscar likes to follow us around the house or he is in his home. I believe he knew that we left him as he followed Chrisztina everywhere too. I love Chrisztina for her get go personality. She really does care care about animals. Also, she’s very reasonable, too reasonable. She should increase her fee.”

“Ginny kept my 15 1/2 year-old Chihuahua for 5 days and 4 nights with zero problems. Darla is an energetic dog, loves her walks, and her routine set up to accommodate medication’s for her stabilized kidney disease. Darla loved Ginny at first sight.Ginny caught on to her behavior in the mornings and how coy she was about eating her breakfast, which contained her days worth of her medication. She never missed a morning walk before her breakfast, which she ate every day. Darla slept in the room with her from the first night on. She is amazing at making a dog comfortable and being patient with them, especially my older dog. I was so impressed. She stayed in contact with me through pictures and text messages, asking only one question that was quickly answered. Bottom line, Darla the Chihuahua gives her 5 stars and so do I.”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s 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 Emit walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Emit 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 they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Emit 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!

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 .
