“Melissa was amazing with our baby Zelda! We were in Florida for a week, and she kept us up-to-date on everything twice a day. She kept our house nice and tidy as well. It was such a relief to have someone so kind, reliable, and respectful watching our Zelda, and home, while we were away. We look forward to having her back! :)”
“Dani was a wonderful Dogsitter for my dog Lola. She kept me in the loop with any questions or concerns along the way since this was her first time at my home with my dog. She did a magnificent job. I would absolutely use her again.”
“Hands down, Guinevere has been the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She responded in a very timely manner, kept us updated on how our three dogs were doing and sent many pictures. Two of our dogs normally go on a hunger strike when we leave, but this was no problem with Guinevere there. She even won over our crabby dog! House was left cleaner than when we left. We’re excited to book with Guinevere again in the near future.”
About: I have had pets all my life, and I truly love caring for and looking after them because being around animals brings me happiness, comfort, and a strong sense of joy every day. I’m free most of the day. I only work at night only for a couple hours and would love to take care of any fluffy friends. I would treat your pets like my own babys. Always keep a watch on them, feed them, walk them,play with them, and clean them
“Justina has housesat for us twice now (once for about two weeks and once for a weekend) and watched my two pups and cat. She’s done an awesome job, kept us informed, sent pictures, and left the house very clean. We’ll be using her again anytime we travel!!”
“I am so happy I reached out through Rover to Joshua. I have two large dogs and one of them has endless energy, two large cats, a leopard gecko and 10 chickens. Kind of last minute, I decided to take a quick weekend trip. My younger dog is a handful and I was worried that I would not find the person to understand and care for my puppy and all the others. Then I contacted Joshua. Punctual, polite, knowledgeable about breeds and specifics and best of all!?!? Finn likes him. I had a wonderful trip. Joshua sent photos and videos and kept me updated on how everything was at home. He stayed at my home and also hous sat for me. Joshua kept the house the way I keep it. He made ire to collect my mail and some medicine that was accidentally shipped and needed to be refrigerated. I would highly recommend Joshua for both house sitting and keeping a bunch af what most people would refer to as a group of large animals. Thank you Joshua!!!”
About: Had my first pet at a young age and I have always shown them love and attention. Love how much they just want to be Love and be Loved. Work part time and have lots of time to Pet Sit. Very flexible with my schedule and this is something that will be perfect for me to do as I love and do well with our Fur Family. I've got a yard with fence around it and for my cats they have a cat litter box on each for so they have easy access to it. I'm very attentive to making sure their cat litter gets scooped up daily to keep them happy, healthy and comfortable.
“Ilene was great usual! Not only does she take extra care with our finicky pups, but she is very respectful of our home and always leaves it in perfect condition. Highly recommend her and I will continue to book her!”
“I can't recommend Tim highly enough. From the very beginning, he was kind, flexible, and easy to communicate with, which made us feel completely at ease. It was obvious that Hailey our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while spending time with him. Tim regularly sent thoughtful updates, photos and videos. Knowing how our Hailey was doing gave our family such great peace of mind. We are so grateful for the wonderful care he provided, and we wouldn't hesitate to trust Tim with our dog again. Thank you, Tim!”
“Giavanna was amazing! So communicative and had my dogs playing and well cared for. One of my pups is extremely shy and she must be a miracle worker because he was a normal pup with her!”
“David R. Is by far the finest Dog Sitter I have encountered in my 30+ years as a pet owner. David cared for my two French bulldogs, Alma and Jessup, for five nights while I attended a conference. David sent comprehensive daily updates along with adorable pictures of my pups. He promptly responded to any questions and all inquiries! I would recommend David to anyone looking to pamper their pets!”
“Kyra took excellent care of our dog Cooper. She gave him her undivided attention throughout the evening. We are extremely happy with her and Cooper loves her. We will definitely be reaching out again when we need a sitter.”
“Amanda is incredible! She cared for my pet like they were her own, kept me updated the whole time, and left my home spotless. I felt completely at ease while I was away. I’ll absolutely book her again! She’s trustworthy, kind, intuitive, and clearly takes pride in what she does.”
About: Hi I’m Olivia and I love taking care of dogs and cats! I am 22 and currently a student at Penn State. I have 4 cats of my own and love to be around animals. I have been dog and cat sitting for almost six years now and I absolutely love doing it! I enjoy taking care of pets of all ages and love to run and walk with dogs as well. I’m great with younger pets that have a lot of energy as well as older ones who are more relaxed. I’m very responsible and reliable and take pet sitting very seriously. I will give your pet much needed love and attention while you are away or unable to be there for them! When I’m home on breaks or holidays I’m available pretty much whenever! I will always keep my availability up to date and will work with clients to fit their needs. When caring for pets in my clients home I always respect the pet’s space first. I’m coming into their home and want to make the pets feel comfortable.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better house / pet sitter! I was out of state visiting family for the weekend, and having someone so reliable and attentive in my home gave me total peace of mind. Knowing both my babies (cat and dog) were so well cared for allowed me to truly relax and enjoy my trip without a worry. I loved receiving regular updates and photos throughout the weekend—it was nice to see my pets happy and comfortable in their own home while I was away. My home was left in wonderful shape, and both of my pets were clearly loved and spoiled. This is the first time I have used Rover for pet sitting and it worked out well. I will book again if needed and highly recommend her for services anyone looking for caring and trustworthy pet care!”
About: My name is Nestle & I am a certified dog trainer through animal behavior college. I have been a dog trainer for 10 years. I train all breeds even Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepards, Cane corsos etc. For training I always use positive reinforement. I also teach basic obedience as well and work with any dog with any issue. I used to work at Petco for 4 years so I am knowledgeable about nutrition, pet products, pet care etc. I also have experience in grooming. I have experience working at 2 doggie daycares as well. I also used to volunteer at an animal shelter (peaceable kingdom) and walk the dogs there. I currently have 6 pets I have a sun conure, crested gecko, 2 leopard geckos & 2 dogs (Bichon & Maltese). I have been working for rover for over 3 years. I am an animal lover. I have a 6 year old who is also friendly with animals. I have experience with all types of animals all are welcomed! My goal is help others in need and save animal lives. I work part time at a family owned jewelry store and they are all pet lovers as well. I have a flexible schedule and we are usually closed for holidays. When I go to a clients house to walk their dog or just do a drop in I make sure everything is taken care of. Pups come first and I always ask the client if they need anything additional done around the house. I don’t mind cleaning or helping out. I can take care of other animals such as hamsters, Guinea pigs, reptiles, birds, fish, etc. before leaving a clients house I make sure all doors are locked, the pups are good & settled and the home is secure before heading out. For clients to feel comfortable I do take lots of pictures and videos of their pup and if they want to FaceTime their pup I’m fine with that too.
“He met with us with little lead time, when I was tight on needing a new sitter. My dog was immediately comfortable with him. He was proactive with letting me know of any issues. A huge plus was his flexibility to work with my schedule.”
About: I have had dogs in my home for as long as I can remember. We generally always had Labs, German Shepherds, Huskies, and Pit Bulls. I don't have a whole lot of experience living with smaller dogs, but I like them just a much. I spent all last summer pet sitting for family members and their dogs and found it to be quite enjoyable. I especially like having the company of dogs on my walks. My work life currently allows me to be very flexible and caring for dogs is a natural choice for my lifestyle. I would really enjoy the time to spend and bond with animals.I lead a very active life and I am completely capable of handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for care and walks as needed and required for individual needs of the pet. I have a friendly lab at my house and a large yard in a quiet neighborhood. Typically, I prefer to care for pets in their own comfortable environment when possible.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Emmaus
Jayden watched our two German Shepherds for a week while we were on vacation, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. She was extremely communicative throughout our trip, keeping us updated on how the dogs were doing, sharing pictures, and making sure we had peace of mind while we were away. She took them on walks daily, sometimes even twice a day, and went above and beyond by bringing in our packages as well. We returned home to happy pups and a spotless house, which was such a wonderful surprise! One of our dogs is especially rambunctious, so we were a little nervous since we'd never had anyone other than family care for them. However, Jayden handled everything perfectly and did an amazing job with both dogs. We are so grateful for her care and attention, and we will absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!
Dani was fantastic! We are new to dog sitting and she made us extremely comfortable from our first meeting until the end of our trip. Dani sent lots of updates and pictures during her stay. We are very selective when it comes to pet care and our dog, Gus, loved her! She left the house immaculate and followed Gus’ schedule to a T. We will absolutely be booking her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Emmaus is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $71 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 pet’s 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.
As of October 2026, there are 1,554 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Emmaus. 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 Emmaus 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 Emmaus 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.
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 Emmaus 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.
