About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was little and have years of experience helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’m reliable, responsible, and truly love animals. I treat every dog like family and have great references from people who trust me with their pets. I’m currently in cosmetology school and also work a part-time job Tuesday through Saturday, usually until around 5 PM. Even with my schedule, I always make time to give pets the attention, care, and love they deserve. I’m dependable, organized, and committed to making sure your fur baby feels safe! I have a fenced-in backyard and love going on walks with my fur babies! I’ll make sure your fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me.

About: I have had experience caring for pets my entire life, including dogs, cats, fish, rats, and guinea pigs. I am comfortable with the day-to-day care and routines that come with looking after different types of pets. Former IT professional turned stay at home dad. Full time availability give or take a few odd hours here and there. Happy to provide pet services of any kind of Forested property - so barks aren’t an issue. I have a fenced in yard as well as crates that could be used as needed as well as plenty of rooms so everyone can have their own space.

About: Your animals are an extension of your family, and they should be treated as such! I am a recent empty nester looking for some fur friends to love on. I have always been a dog mom but lost our last Springer Spaniel, Brody, to old age two years ago. Looking to help another family out with their fur friend on special occasions and overnights. I do not overbook clients. Each family will get individualized attention- no rushing out. If you are on holiday, we can discuss your animals current feeding/bathroom schedule so we can keep them comfortable while you are away. Daily in-home pet care visits are broken down into two (2) 30 minute visits. Each visit includes potty break, fresh food/water (if needed) and playtime. Overnights will be an additional service and you can be add an additional 30 minute visit for an extra $10 on daily checks. At each visit, I will take 2-3 photos of your fur babies and send you an update if you'd like! Every visit will be logged in detail (ie. walked pet, got mail, play visit, feeding and bathroom updates) and left for your records upon completion of services. We can discuss additional request if needed.

“My wife and I had the opportunity to take a 3 1/2 week trip out of the country. We weren’t sure what to do with our fur babies because it was too long to put either of them in a kennel. We looked at Rover‘s website and found Jenna who agreed to watch our fur babies in our home for the duration of our trip. Our beagle is a rescue who has a number of special needs due to abuse as a puppy. Jenna did a wonderful job of watching both our beagle and our kitty cat for the time we were gone. It’s obvious Jenna loves animals and we will certainly book her again if we ever need to leave town for an extended period. We highly recommend Jenna as that only a pet sitter, but a house sitter as well.”

I love to meet new pup friends and take care of them as if they were mine. I am a full time student but I am online so I can walk or take out your pets whenever it’s needed, but i do work a part time job. If my assistants is needed just text me and we can set something up! I first want to meet the dogs and go over the do’s and don’ts with the owner. I value the comfort and trust from the pet and owner over everything.

About: Ever since I can remember, I’ve had a love for animals and a soft spot for every furry friend I meet! From volunteering and rescuing animals to working in veterinary hospitals and caring for my own fur babies, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m a Veterinary Assistant with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and exotic animals. I’m comfortable with medications, special needs, senior pets, and providing the extra patience and care some pets need. When you’re away, I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, playtime, cuddles, and regular updates so you can relax while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to spoil your fur babies like they’re my own! I just moved to the area and am currently not working so I have plenty of time and love to share with your furry friend. I completely understand the importance of a routine for our babies to stay happy and healthy. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own environment, which is why I love providing in-home care. Staying in their familiar surroundings allows me to keep their normal routines as consistent as possible while you’re away. Depending on your pet’s needs, in-home care can include feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, medications, litter box care, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you leave so your pets can stick to the routine they’re used to. While you’re away, I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur babies are happy, safe, and well cared for.

He sent lots of pictures and videos, which my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated! He kept our place spotless and we would have him back anytime! If you’re looking for someone who your babies will have fun with, book with Mark!!!”

About: I have taken care of my own personal dogs throughout their lifespan from puppies to mature dogs. I am held at a high regard in my neighborhood as a dog sitter who is able to maintain a schedule, give sufficient playtime, and follow personal instructions accordingly. During the summer I am always available at home where I am able to give maximum attention to the pets. During college school season I am home on the weekends, Tuesdays, and Thursdays all day. Monday, Wednesday, Friday I can see the pups after 12pm! I have a fenced in back yard of about half an acre that does have a pool. If your baby loves to swim they are more than welcome to. If water is an issue I can easily walk them on a leash. I have 2 golden doodles that are extremely friendly and crate trained. I have dog beds your fur baby can sleep on! My neighborhood is very small and safe so I can take them on plenty of walks.

About: With years of experience caring for a variety of pets, I’ve provided loving support to dogs, cats, turtles, chickens, and even new puppies. From administering medication and catering to special needs to ensuring young animals get the proper care and attention, I tailor my approach to each pet's unique personality. Whether it’s snuggles, belly rubs, or daily routines, I’m here to offer reliable and compassionate care for your beloved companions. I work remotely from anywhere with Wi-Fi, which allows me to start my day at a relaxed pace. I wake up slowly, meditate to center myself, and enjoy peaceful morning and evening walks, ensuring both my well-being and the pets' enjoyment. At this time I am not offering pet care in my home due to the no-pet policy in agreement with the owner of my building.

About: Hi there!! I grew up in a home full of animals from dogs, cats to plenty of other critters like frogs & fish :) caring for animals has always been second nature to me. The past few years I’ve worked in doggy daycares and then moved on as an in-home pet caretaker and dog walker, I truly love working with all kinds of animals young or senior, shy or silly, high energy or laid back. From house pets to exotics to barn animals, I’m happy to follow your instructions to the letter 💚 Your pets will be treated like family while I’m with them! I’m also trained to express animals with mobility challenges and can dispense medications when needed. My goal is always to make sure your pets are happy, comfortable and cared for. There are some photos of my personal pets in the gallery. I have a tennessee treeing brindle named buddy & a chinchilla named chunky. All other photos are some of my past clients that I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of 🐾 Eventually I would like to work with animals full time, for now everything I make on Rover goes into a fund working towards my goal 🪲 Thanks for reading & have a great day! Animal care is a natural part of my everyday life. I work part-time with a local animal care company and also offer services through Rover, which gives me the flexibility to build my schedule around all the pets I look after. This way, I can always give each pet the attention and love that they deserve. The care I provide depends on the type of service you book: • For dog walks: We’ll spend most of the visit walking for however long you choose. Afterward, I save a few minutes for fresh water, treats and any special instructions. • For dog drop-in visits: I let them out for a potty break, refresh their water and food, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. • For cat drop-ins: I feed them, refresh their water, and clean the litter box. I also spend time giving them affection if they want it. • For sleepovers: I usually arrive around 10/11 PM and stay until about 7–8 AM. When I arrive, I let them out for a potty break, refresh their water and play with them bit before settling in. In the morning, I repeat the routine before heading out. For any other kinds of animals I will follow your instructions for care or if you need me to adjust my schedule in any way I’m happy to accommodate to your needs. If you’re out of town, we can mix and match services to make sure your pets are fully cared for while you’re away 🩷

FAQs for House Sitting - Emma

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 975 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Emma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Emma 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 Emma 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 Emma 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 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 , 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 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter’s 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, you’ll 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Emma. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
