“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!!!!!”
“She was awesome! My pets took to her immediately and they were very well cared for in the week I was away. I would absolutely hire her again. She sent me pictures and loved on my babies when I couldn't. I had peace of mind and you can't put a price on that!”
“I am very grateful that Jessica cared for and hung with my senior pup, Sky, over the Holiday. She was responsive, reliable, and communicated very well. I received frequent pictures of Sky, who definitely looked like she was enjoying herself. Most importantly, I felt at ease that she was in good hands and getting lots of love while I was away. Will certainly book Jessica as a sitter again!”
“Elva was a great house/pet sitter for us! This is the first time we have ever needed one for our 12 year old dog and we couldn't be happier with the service she provided. I appreciated that she was willing to come before we left to meet us and learn our dog's current routines. I came back home to the house still being clean and a happy dog. I will definitely reach out to Elva again for any upcoming trips!”
About: I've raised my dog Fulton, a pomeranian for 10 years, through the puppy stage and into his senior years. That's taught me how much routines, energy levels, and needs change over a dog's life, and how to adjust walks to match. What you can expect: On-time walks with a photo and update after every visit Routes suited to your dog's energy, from city parks to red rock trails Clear communication through the Rover app, start to finish I split my time between Salt Lake City and southern Utah, so check my calendar or send a message to book a Meet and Greet. I work for myself, so my schedule is flexible and I can usually fit walks in during the day, including midday breaks. I split my time between Salt Lake City and southern Utah, and I keep my Rover calendar current so you always know when I'm in your area. Walks start and end at your home. Before the first walk, we'll do a Meet and Greet so I can learn your dog's routine, leash habits, and any triggers. On every walk I: -Use your dog's leash and harness, double-checked before we head out -Avoid busy roads and adjust for heat, cold, and trail conditions -Keep your dog away from unfamiliar dogs unless you've said it's okay -Lock up behind me and send a photo and update when we're done
“Caroline was great!! She took excellent care of my dogs! This was my first time with the house sitting service and I’m so glad it was with Caroline! She was great to communicate and send pics and my pups had a great time with her!!”

A dog care, boarding, sitting, and walking service and have had to take care of neighbors, friends, and family's dogs while they we're away.

I work from home and work for myself so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets and play with them or whatever their needs are! I live in a house with a big fenced in yard for them to run around in. If you have small dogs I do have a doggy door they can freely go out to go potty if they are used to thay.

About: I am new to Rover but grew up with a dog and currently have my own dog, cat, and kitten. I love animals and get along well with all my friends pets and and excited to meet more buddies! I am currently freelancing in photography and have a generally open and flexible schedule , so depending on when i have client work and bookings, with enough advanced notice to plan it out I cam dedicate time to your pets when they need it! I prefer to care for pets in their own home so they can be as comfortable as possible and reduce stress. I love playing and spending time with cats and dogs and love outside walk and park time!
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and farm animals, and from a very young age, caring for them became a natural and meaningful part of my life. Animals have always been more than companions to me—they are family. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Each one has taught me something different, deepening my sensitivity, patience, and ability to truly understand their needs. My training with the Humane Society also gave me the tools to care for senior pets with extra gentleness, respect, and attention, honoring every stage of their lives. Today, I continue to care for the pets of friends and neighbors, creating bonds built on trust, love, and presence. I love taking dogs on mindful walks, hikes, and little adventures in nature, always making sure they feel safe, happy, and free to be themselves. Being bilingual allows me to connect easily with different families, but what truly guides my work is the love, calm energy, and genuine care I bring into every home and to every animal I meet. I am currently working part-time online so I will have plenty of time to care and play with your kitties or pups. I am available any time if you are looking for someone last minute I will help you ! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always prioritize following the specific instructions provided, ensuring that each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs are respected. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially when their owners are away. Beyond that, I bring a loving and attentive presence into the home. I make sure pets receive not only their basic care, but also quality time, affection, and engagement. I love incorporating playtime, walks, and enriching activities to help keep them mentally stimulated and emotionally balanced. I pay close attention to their energy levels and personalities—whether they need active play, calm companionship, or a mix of both—so they feel safe, happy, and truly cared for while you’re away.
“Kasey was so wonderful with our pups! She was communicative, sent periodic photos, and clearly watched over them with lots of love! She went above and beyond and offered to stay late when our flight was delayed. We will absolutely rebook with her!”
About: We're a happy, clean, educated, highly experienced husband & wife housesitting team who love caring for animals and homes together. We've had steady stream of our own pets constantly for our entire lives up until last November, 2024 when we re-entered the world of full-time housesitting. Prior to that, we'd been full-time pet sitters for several years as well as occasional sitters, boarders, and pet fosterers. My husband graduated in zoology and so has that additional expertise. After graduating with his zoology degree, he continued on to medical school where he earned his Optometry degree & license. He left his solo practice in 2021 & now is employed as a full-time Optometrist who works long hours everyday. I am the primary housesitter who remains throughout the day and night with my husband joining me to help housesit during the nights. We have a great deal of experience with dogs and cats predominantly, but also have experience with other pets such as birds, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, lizards, snakes, chickens, fish, turtles, cows, pigs, horses, turkeys, etc. Animals and pets have always been a big part of our lives. Although not formally degreed, I studied animal accupressure, grooming, massage, nutrition, health, exercise, psychology, and training for decades. I'm constantly learning and love the time I spend with each and every pet. We have a great deal of experience in taking care of homes and properties as well. We're very accessible, easy-going, young-at-heart, responsible, dependable, yet also playful and patient. We're very clean and like to keep things tidy, fresh, healthy, and clean. We cherish our time in your homes with your pets and do all we can to be considerate, respectful, enjoyable guests in your home. We strive for repeat sits and so try to be good guests that you'll want to invite back time and time again to care for your home and pets while you're away. We can offer a variety of additional services related to the care of your pets and home if desired. We look forward to getting to meet you! We have returned to doing housesitting full time and have done it full time since last November, 2024. Although we like the "one-and-done" petsits, we especially strive for repeat sits. We prefer longer sits, but will consider shorter ones to fill in any availability gaps we have in our schedule. We only do housesits in the owner's home for overnight sits that are 2 nights and longer. We prefer longer sits. We do our best to be good guests so you'll invite us back again and again.
“Michelle was great with my anxious dog Eddie. She sent lots of photos and kept me informed on everything going on. House was clean when we returned and we will definitely use her again.”
About: I have over 40 years of owning and training fur babies and had many types of pets while growing up on a farm. I have fostered dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, from as big as Mastiffs and Great Dane to as small as Chihuahua and miniature Frenchies. If I see your baby, I'm gonna need to love on them. I have rescued many animals and know how to administer insulin for your aging baby and bottle feed your itty bitty kitties. I understand animal behavior and how best to encourage enthusiastic positive behavior. I believe in positive reinforcement and rewarding, never punishing fur babies. There is always someone at my home, so your babies will never be left alone. It would be my honor to be trusted with your little ones. I work from home and try to arrange my schedule so your babies will never be alone while in my care. 🐶🐾🐶 We will have lots of fun together, and I like to research each specific breed to see what makes them the happiest.🛋️🌳 My yard is fenced with lots of trees and shade, made for playtime. If your baby likes water, and it's a hot day, I'll fill up a play pool.💧💧🌞🌞 My fence is not very tall. If your baby is an escape artist or runner, I am not the best fit 💔

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 339 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
