About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was young! Growing up we had dogs, cats, horses, cattle, chickens and more. I have taken many veterinary medicine related classes as well as exotics. I can care for senior pets, puppies, and everything in between with the same love and care that I would my own. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter where I have gained even more experience with animals of different temperaments. Your pets will be safe with me! I currently work full-time but I am always looking to switch up my routine. I am awake early for my job so walking or taking pets out for the bathroom and breakfast in the morning perfectly aligns. The same goes for when I am home from work. During the weekends, I tend to be outside so walks, hikes, trips in the car are frequent. I will follow all guidelines given to me by the pet parent. I will also pay special attention to medical cases, seniors or those who may need it. With me, there will be lots of snuggles, potty breaks, walks, and vital checks (if needed) just like with my own fur babies. I can crate if needed but I prefer not too if it is not necessary.

About: I’ve been around and have always loved all animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, ferrets, and fish. Open to helping with any pets. I work full time Monday-Thursday but I’m completely open to care for your pets Friday-Sunday. I like being active and getting outside so your pets will get all the walks and activity. At home my cats and dogs are free to roam the home. The yard is not fenced so we do use a cable in the backyard or go for walks on the leash for potty breaks.

Melissa was amazing with our 2 little dogs! They loved her from moment they met her. She sent me pictures throughout the night to keep me updated. One of our dogs needs medication throughout the day & she was able to give him his meds no problem. We will definitely use her services again! Thanks Melissa!

Caitlin was amazing! She responded quickly to my request and came over to meet our Gus and come up with a plan. She was infinitely patient with our skittish boy. We decided to do in home visits and she sent daily updates while we were gone. She even went above and beyond, shoveling our snow and getting the mail. She is definitely our number one choice for next time!

This was our first time having Bailey watch Trooper, and it was his first time being at a doggie sitters home. Bailey was very calm and reassuring with us on our meet and greet. When dropping him off for his stay we went over his needs since he is older with meds, food and etc. She did awesome with him while he was there and he had a great time with meeting/socializing with other doggies all sizes and ages. Would love to have Troops stay with her again!!

Alyssa was a perfect fit for our household of one momma dog and her 6 puppies. She was attentive to making sure all the puppies were eating and all the bathroom breaks the mom wanted. She would send updates and pictures to ease my mind. I would highly recommend her.

Gabby is the most kind, caring and responsible person to watch over your fur babies while you are gone. We have never had a dog sitter before because family were available, but not this time. I was very hesitant and anxious about having someone I do not know, come and stay in my house all night and take care of my precious doggies, for over twelve days ,but Gabby alleviated all of my fears with her continuous communication , photos, and answering my phone calls. My one older dog, Coco proved to be a challenge with her barking and not wanting to have a stranger in our house, but Gabby was able to work with Cocoa and slowly, but surely win her over 😀 Gabby also did so many extras that I never expected. She took our trash out. She made sure to check daily for our mail and the porch for any packages. She left the house spotless; vacuuming, mopping floors, cleaning up after the dogs; even watering my flowers on the patio , feeding my fish and filling up the bird feeder with seed. I recommend Gabby with a five star review for anyone that wants to go on a vacation , out of town for business whatever they need to do whether it's for just a few days or several weeks, and know that their fur babies are in loving and responsible hands.Thank you, Gabby you are Extraordinary!

About: I’ve cared for my family pets my whole life and started pet sitting in high school for neighbors with both dogs and cats. I now have two dogs of my own and treat every animal with love, patience, and care. I currently work part-time and am available Sunday through Wednesday. I’m in college, so mornings and afternoons work best for me to care for your pets. I take care to follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m respectful of your home and will ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to care for their pets like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including puppies and senior dogs. I can do feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, basic grooming needs, medication if needed, and lots of love and attention. I’m patient, reliable, and will always make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working full time 7-4, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups in the evenings! I’m available for walking dogs during the week at 5pm and anything later than that. I have a friendly pup to keep your fur babies company during their stay. I do not have a fenced in yard but that’s not a problem! I will take them out on leashes and for walks

FAQs for House Sitting - Emmett

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 473 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Emmett. 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 Emmett 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 Emmett 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 Emmett 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 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.

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

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
