About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and it’s truly one of my biggest passions. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I’m comfortable providing the right level of care, attention, and patience. I’ve spent time working in dog daycare/pet care settings, which has given me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I know how important it is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable — especially when their favorite humans are away. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, sticking to a feeding routine, or making sure medications are given properly, I’m reliable and attentive to every detail. You can count on me to treat your pets like they’re part of my own family, giving them plenty of love, exercise, and care while keeping you updated so you always feel at ease I work full time Sunday - Thursday. My hours are different everyday but I am willing to work around them to help you out as best as I can! I would love to come to your home and provide care for your fur babies! Most pets do better in their own home and I don't have the best setup at my home. I don't want to create any unnecessary stress for them.
“Lindsay was such an amazing caretaker for our two large dogs. She was communicative and kind. She walked them every day, sent pictures and we came home to two happy dogs! We would totally book with her again! She not only took great care of our dogs but also or home! Thank you Lindsay!”
About: Grew up with dogs and have many years of hands-on experience caring for them in everyday life, including feeding, walking, basic training, and understanding different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m confident handling both calm and active dogs and adjusting to their individual needs. I now also own two cats, which has given me additional experience with feline behavior, routines, and creating a safe, stress-free environment. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and treat every animal with patience, responsibility, and genuine care. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available for pet care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and on short notice when needed. I can’t take pets into my own home because I have two cats, but I’m very happy to stay at the client’s home and provide care there. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and keep their normal routine while you’re away.
About: Hello, my name is Reed. I’m a 25-year-old student and former Kennel Technician with hands-on experience in dog sitting, daycare, and boarding on my off days. Over the past year, I’ve also worked professionally leading off-leash group hikes using e-collars, managing 15–17 dogs at a time on dog-friendly trails and parks. This role has given me advanced skills in safe pack management, recall training, and e-collar handling. When your pup is with me, you can count on structured exercise, socialization, and fun adventures at dog parks and on dog-friendly trails. I’ll also make sure you receive high-quality photos of your pet so you can see them enjoying their day. I’ve been formally trained on dog behavior and care through PackPro and the Dog Handler Academy, and I continue to build on that knowledge every day. Feel free to reach out and book a date—I’d love to give your dog the care, attention, and adventure they deserve. I work at the pet resort Sunday-Tuesday and Thursdays. If needed on Tuesdays and Thursdays I can do a late overnight stay for a discount. In the house, I can board a family and give medicine oral or injections. I go to dog parks often, and usually take them outside every hour to an hour and a half. The only requirement is having a dog that is friendly so my dog stays safe as well.
“As always (our 4th-5th time with her, will book again!) Candace was fabulous. Our pup is always happy and healthy when we get home and we are kept up to date throughout the sit. Candace has also even washed her linens etc. which isn’t expected but a lovely surprise!”
About: Along with caring for pets since I was a kid, I spent two years working at a doggy daycare and spent last summer caring for over 10 regular clients' pets while sitting full time in Honolulu, HI. I'm experienced with all kinds animals and I pride myself on considering each pets unique needs and making them feel safe, calm, and loved. Whether its administering medication, managing multiple pets at once, or adjusting to each households routine, I bring experience, reliability, and genuine care to every home I enter. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I'm very flexible with timing and able to adjust my schedule. I'm available for daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I care for pets in comfort of their own home, keeping them on their normal routine so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, meals, or simply keeping them company, I adapt to each pet’s needs. I always treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and have years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. I’m especially comfortable with dogs of all ages, including senior pets who require extra attention and medical care. I have experience administering medications, including injections for diabetic dogs, and I’ve also cared for birds. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely love bonding with animals. I’m active and enjoy being outdoors, so your pets will get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. At the same time, I’m very attentive to their individual needs—whether that’s high energy activities or gentle, calm care for older pets. I’m also extremely responsible and respectful of your home. I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors for years to care for both their pets and their houses, and I always make sure to leave everything even better than I found it. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine! Right now, since it’s summer, I have lots of free time to dedicate to your pets. I rehearse for a show for only a few hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of time to provide consistent care, attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can also accommodate overnight stays whenever needed. My schedule is very flexible outside of rehearsals, so I’m happy to adjust to meet your pet’s routine and specific needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, and any special instructions you provide—to keep them happy and stress-free. I also ensure medications are given safely and on schedule when needed. I treat your home with care, keeping it clean, secure, and organized while you’re away. I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, so pets feel happy, engaged, and cared for while you’re gone. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet and making sure they feel loved and well cared for!
About: Hello! My name is Luke and I am here for you if you are looking for a dog sitter/walker or cat sitter! I love dogs and cats so much and am certain I can give your pets the love and attention they need while you are away! I’m currently home from the summer after graduating from college and in between jobs, meaning I should have a wide range of availability! Just let me know when and I should be available. Unfortunately will not be able to board your pets at my own home as I have pets of my own. I am willing to stay overnight at clients homes.
“We have never left our pets for this long before so we were a bit nervous beforehand. Everything went great! We returned home to happy, well cared for pets. Thank you!!!!!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and still continue to housesit and care for friends’ and familys’ furry babies. I've cared for energetic puppies and sweet seniors, and lots of animals at once. I'm happy to follow specific care routines, daily walks, playtime, and any medical needs, with plenty of snuggles. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away without worrying -knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. I have two dogs of my own a Border Collie mix and a Lab mix, both are seven years old, and spoiled rotten..So I've been told, and they get along with other dogs. While I'm housesiting/animal sitting., I'll be working on my computer, making phone calls, playing with your furry babies, and occasionally stepping out of the house for 3-4 hours at the most, to do errands, grocery shopping, and family needs. If your pup stays with me..I have a fenced backyard, and two of my own furry babies, Toby and Skit. They get along with others. I take them on hikes every day on BLM land near me. Since I live in the country, they're leash and off-leash trained.I have extra dog beds, and bowls, pups stay in my room with me at night.
“Laura was super communicative our whole time away. She asked great questions when I forgot to mention things but otherwise I felt like the pets were well loved and cared for while we were gone. The house was the same as we left it with regards to clean :) We will definitely work with Laura again!”
“Andy did a fantastic job house-sitting and caring for our 7-year-old Labradoodle. Our pup immediately connected with him at the Meet and Greet (which was a great sign and not always the case with our overprotective dog). Andy is a great communicator, reliable, kind, and attentive. He sent pictures and updates over the 4 day stay, handled medications, gave multiple walks each day, and was respectful of our home (it was hard to tell he had even been there upon our return). Highly recommend!”
“Nico will always be my go-to when it comes to taking care of my senior doggie, Pen Pen. She’s always so caring and kind to my older gal. She knows how to read animals and Pen always feels really safe with her.”
“Kirk was communicative and thorough! We felt very comfortable leaving our fur baby in his care. Our home was clean and tidy upon return. Not expected but appreciated! We will use Kirk in the future and can recommend him without hesitation.”
“We booked with Elva and Matt for house sitting while we were on vacation. Our previous planned sitter had cancelled last minute and we are honestly so happy they did so we could meet Matt and Elva! Blu absolutely loved them and they took great care of him, as well as the house. Their communication was amazing and we got daily photos and updates of our little guy! We will definitely be booking again☺️”
“Brandi went above and beyond taking care of our dogs and other animals while we were out of town. She was very proactive with updates and photos/videos, we felt like we were in great hands the whole time and came back to find everything in good order and the dogs in high spirits which was wonderful. 10/10 hope she will help us again next time!”
About: I love caring for dogs and cats! From puppy training to dealing with senior dog issues I’ve had plenty of experience with both and everything in between. I started dog sitting my neighbors dogs when they would go out of town and have since continued plus added a few more neighbors in the years. I love walking dogs and giving them exercise and being able to just enjoy the outdoors. I’m a stay at home mom so I am extremely flexible. Super flexible with requests and availability In and around Evanston. Can usually accommodate most needs! I have a large fenced in yard. Friendly, quiet neighborhood. Very open concept home so plenty of space for animals to have their space but also be able to see everything and everyone

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 397 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 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 Emory. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
