I provide full service pet care including walks, cuddles, feeding, providing medications and attention so they feel right at home. From your senior pup to high energy pup, I haven’t met a dog yet who I didn’t click with. I treat your pet like my own! I currently have an adolescent Golden Retriever, 50 chickens and two barn cats who I care for at home! I determine my schedule tailored,also, to the needs of others! Whether it’s taking your furry friend on a nice walk outside, pet socialization, or providing them with food and water- I treat your bestie like my own!!! I am a professional caregiver as a Bachelors Degree RN, previous cat owner, lifelong dog owner, Mom of 4 and spouse. I also specialize in customer service as a skincare and beauty consultant-furthering my realm of caring for others! As a recent Cancer survivor, creating my own work schedule is very beneficial because life can be unpredictable!!! I love getting out for brief exercise and fresh air with your pets & in home drop in socialization with them, too, it is very therapeutic and beneficial to my health! I appreciate that you give me the amazing gift of sharing your pet with me! I do have a fenced in back yard and large dog crate, when I care for your dog at their home they have the benefit of staying in their familiar environment.

About: I’ve always had many pets growing up especially guinea pigs, dogs, bunnies and cats! I’m a huge pet lover and get along with all types of animals. I’ve volunteered at pet clinics and I’ve walked pretty much all kinds of dogs of all ages from a week old pups to senior since I volunteer at pet shelters as well! You can trust me to be the best pet caretaker!🐾 💗 Since my family has a Golden retriever, a few guinea pigs and cats, i’m always used to taking care of animals. I’m available most days all day since i’m doing school online! I can go on nice long walks and take care of your animal however you request! 🌸💗 I care for my pets everyday and give them all the love and attention in the world! I definitely would prefer taking care of your pet(s) in your home since I live with other family members who already have cats, bunnies, and a pup.

I'm thankful for Peyton I couldn't stand the thought of them being in a kennel. Will definitely recommend to anyone”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 13, growing up with family pets and gaining hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I truly love animals and understand how important it is for your pets to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to their individual needs and enjoy learning about different ways to support their development, socialization, and overall well-being. Whether you need a trusted dog walker, sitter, or overnight stay for your fur babies, I’d love the opportunity to help give you peace of mind while they’re in my care. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and care I’d want for my own. If you have any questions about me or my experience, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to get to know you and your pets! I'm currently attending community college and have a super flexible schedule. Please reach out to me with any scheduling questions, I'm sure we can figure something out! I will make sure that your pet gets lots of extra love while you are away, including walks, potty breaks, playtime, and anything else that you typically would do.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m caring, patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with The pets. I make them feel safe. I am currently a stay at home. I have all the time in the world to just care for them. Walk them play with them feed them. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention and playtime, and a clean and comfortable environment. I’m also happy to follow their normal routines, including walks, bathroom breaks, medications if needed, and lots of cuddles. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.

About: I will bend over backwards to keep your pup happy and safe. I’m excited to meet pups to keep me company and active. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. I have time to walk, run and hang at home with the pup daily. I cared for my two doodles with daily walks and park visits. We play ball in our fenced in yard .

FAQs for House Sitting - Emmett

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 468 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.

<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 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 , 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 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.
