“Kelly was an amazing sitter! She stayed at our house and gave our pups all the love and snuggles. She kept us updated with messages and cute pictures. It’s great to know our dogs were in good hands!”
“Sianna was amazing. Our dogs loved her! She was punctual, kind, and kept us updated through her stay. She cuddled the dogs through the thunderstorm and did a great job administering eye medication and keeping the dogs separate during feeding time. She followed the noted instructions perfectly and we will definitely continue to call her!”
“Damien is SUCH a fabulous human. The extraordinary care he gave towards my fur babies warmed my heart. He went out of his way to text me pictures and updates on how things were going. I absolutely plan on hiring him again! Thanks! Sarah”
“We left our lab at home with Sydney for a out of town wedding we were gone from Thursday - Sunday Sydney was Awesome with our Gilbert & spent so much time with him we appreciate her help so much and couldn’t be more grateful!”
“Julia did a fantastic job watching our dog while we went out of town! She was very responsive and took great care of our dog and our home while we were away. We can be apprehensive about leaving our dog home, but Julia allowed us to rest easy and enjoy our vacation because of the care and attention she gave each day. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted professional to watch their pet, and she will be our go-to resource for our dog moving forward.”
About: Myself and my family have had dogs and cats for decades, I come from a line of dog breeders and have lost track the number of dogs I have trained and taken care of. I cannot board for longer than 12 days at a time. I work IT and can WFH when required. My cats go between my X and I so when they’re not around I can give them plenty of attention. I can’t board for longer than 12 days I’m very loving and active. I will spoil them rotten and give them plenty of attention should they need it. My cats get along great with other cats and dogs if you’d like them to have some company.
“Lindsay was great with my Finn and Ella. They loved her right away. Having them watched in our home makes going away possible. This was very last minute and I appreciate that we were able to go..”

About: I’m a mental health therapist and lifelong animal lover, so I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pets. I grew up around animals—my mom ran her own professional pet sitting business, and I learned from her experience with the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, and more—and have been trusted with their care since I was a teen. I’m comfortable and experienced with medicating pets when needed, always following your instructions carefully. As a pet parent myself, with my cat Luna at home, I know how much your pets mean. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and sizes—young or old, big or small—and treat every pet like part of my family. Because when your pet is happy, you are happy! I work part-time as a mental health therapist, which gives me a lot of flexibility and allows me to stay local. Pet care is a meaningful way for me to care for others while also taking care of myself, so I’m truly present and intentional in the time I spend with your pets. I love creating consistent routines whenever possible—it helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. That means plenty of attention, play, and cuddles (always on their terms), along with keeping up with their regular feeding and routines. I’m attentive to cleanliness and will always make sure any messes are taken care of promptly. I keep a close eye on their health and can provide medication support when needed, always following your instructions and your vet’s orders carefully. I’m happy to send updates, photos, and notes so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away. I’m also very open to discussing safety preferences and expectations to ensure the best experience for both you and your pets.
“Audrey took great care of our dog and cat this weekend! The house was left exactly how it was left and the animals were happy! I even received updates & pictures over the weekend of our fur-babies. Thank you, Audrey!”
“Mariah was a great dog sitter while we were away for a long weekend. She was here over the Thanksgiving holiday and we were so lucky to have her! Both dogs were well cared for and happy and the house was immaculate as well. It's a lot of responsibility to care for someone's home and pets and Mariah easily accepted my instructions and requests. We will definitely have her back again.”
“Destiny is a dream come true ! She did a wonderful job watching Bubba for a week during our vacation. Although I’m a lil late writing this review due to a death in our family…. I would definitely use Destiny again ! She kept Bubba occupied so not to have any anxiety, he was happy and healthy! Destiny is very sweet , calm , and a all around wonderful person .”
About: Hi! My name is MaKenzi and I have had pets as long as I can remember, I grew up with two pitbulls rescues, two smaller dogs, and an older cat that I assumed most of the care for as both parents worked full time jobs. Taking care of multiple animals at one time requires a lot of energy and the ability to organize the things they need well but I learned very quickly! Since I have lived on my own I have helped friends and coworkers with taking care of their beloved fur babies while they’re on vacation or just need an extra hand with their pets. In the last year I have rescued my own kitten and I have absolutely spoiled her with all of the patience, love, affection, and extra care that her heart could desire.
About: I’ve taken care of friends and families pets since the age of 12. I am also an active volunteer at multiple animal shelters. I have experience feeding, playing, and cleaning up after many different kinds of four legged friends! I’m currently job hunting so I’m free most weekdays and on Saturdays. I can work evening on Wednesday as well. I will just need notice two days in advance if you would like to book my services. I can follow and respect any request you may have regarding your pets and your home. Trust is and safety is my priority to keep your home and pets in good care!
“She took such great care of my dog while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well loved. I came home to a happy pup, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Miko!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ David did a wonderful job caring for our dogs and our home! From the start, he was kind, warm, and attentive, which instantly put us at ease. He took great care of our pups, giving them plenty of love and attention, and he kept us updated with lots of pictures so we never had to worry. It was clear how much he genuinely cared about them. We came home to happy dogs and a well-cared-for house. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend David to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets.

FAQs for House Sitting - Emmorton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Emmorton on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,503 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Emmorton. 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 Emmorton 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 Emmorton 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 Emmorton 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.

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.
