“Jen was awesome!! She house sat for 5 days and followed the schedule I left for my two fur babies. Both dogs are large dogs and she walked them every day without hesitation! They were happy and very well taken care of. I was able to relax and not worry because Jen would send text and pictures daily letting me know what was going on. I will definitely be using her again. Thanks Jen!”
“Adrian was so great! We had two meet and greets before our trip out of state. She sent daily pictures of my furballs and kept me updated on how they were doing. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Very thoughtful and great at communicating! Amber sent us lots of pictures and videos. It was so great seeing my dogs having such a fun time while we were away! She handled everything very well, even amongst a busy holiday. I appreciated her so much!!”

“Anabelle did great with Champ! He is a special needs rescue who requires daily medication and special attention. Anabelle has been patient with him and always makes sure to provide updates and pictures. She has been flexible with my crazy schedule and has provided great care in just a few days' notice. I would recommend Anabelle to anyone.”
About: Hello:) I'm Bella, and I've been independently taking care of and looking after dogs since I was 10 years old! My mother has been in the rescue space for about 15 years, starting her own in 2019. I've had the opportunity to meet, foster, and transport hundreds of different dogs with all sorts of unique characteristics/behaviors. I have also done multiple overnight stays for families that have previously adopted dogs from the rescue and friends. All dog breeds are welcome here! I have watched dogs from chihuahuas to Chows to Airedale terriers. Additionally, from puppies to seniors, small to extra-large, I am comfortable with all dogs and can accommodate special needs. I'm no stranger to raw feeding, administering medications, light training, and grooming. I've always had a deep love and special interest in all aspects of owning dogs, so It's always been my dream to do this professionally. I am currently in school part-time and can be out doing that for about 2-6 hours on Mondays and Wednesdays. During this time, my mother works from home, takes care of the animals' needs, and lets them hang out with her while she works. The animals run the schedule in our home; there's never a time their needs aren't met for other plans. I am a night owl, but I am also up very early. So no matter the time of day, I can stay on schedule for walking, feeding, medication, or potty times. I'm experienced with leash pullers and escape artists, so I am always very cautious when it comes to walking or when leaving a dog alone. I have a wealth of knowledge about veterinary needs and am not afraid to act if it ever becomes necessary. I have a large fenced-in yard here at the house and plenty of space to roam with a leash outside of that. The permanent animals in my home are 4 friendly dogs (1 male Chow, 1 female Chow, 2 female small-medium mixed breeds) and 5 cats. Fosters are in and out often but do not disturb the function of the household. Separation is possible in the house with crates, corrals, or gated off rooms. Extra animal supplies are always available here from the rescues' overflow, so we are always prepared for anything. We keep a clean home, and I've been a part-time professional cleaner, so I will keep a tidy space if staying in your home as well. I'm not afraid of any messes; I have seen and cleaned it all! Communication is key, and I'm up for molding around your schedule if need be. My aim to treat your pups with the utmost respect and love they deserve, so you won't have any need to worry when you can't be with them!
About: Update: I will not be available Oct 27 - Nov 2 and Nov 9-13. This has happened to me and it is so very unfortunate I have to say this...If you have a senior dog, please let me know of any changes to their health!!!!! If you believe your pup is nearing end of life, PLEASE do not ask me to keep your dog. It is very heartbreaking and your pet wants YOU and needs YOU during his or her last days because YOU are their entire world. I love dogs!! I've fostered many dogs and volunteered at many shelters. I've had seniors and even fostered one with spina bifida. My first two loves were English Bulldogs. I have lots of experience with them and know that smooshy face breeds are much more delicate than other breeds. I absolutly love them! I'm not good with extremely energtic dogs, but can handle anything else. I am semi-retired. I currently work part time on Friday and Sundays with an occasional third day, so I am home a lot. I have plenty of time to devote to your pooch. In my home, I care for your pet just as I care for mine. Of course, with your direction implemented also. I do have a pool, so I will need to know how your dog is around pools, or if they have zero experience with pools, I will need to know that as well.
About: Looking for a calm, dependable, and experienced sitter for your beloved pet? You've found her. I bring a blend of professionalism and genuine affection to every pet I care for. Whether it's daily walks, cozy cuddles, or administering medication, I handle all with a gentle touch and keen eye. Your pet's comfort and well-being are my absolute priority, ensuring you have peace of mind knowing they're in capable hands. I work in San Jose full-time in a 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday thru Friday job. My hours can be flexible when given advance notice. I also have my own transportation, and am willing to drive within a reasonable distance on the bay area. Extra open to offers that include mileage of over 20 miles from me. I do have a 9 year old old cat who mostly keeps to themselves, but is wary of aggressive animals. . As of now I do not board pets. Sorry.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 486 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Emory. 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 Emory 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 Emory 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 Emory 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.
