“Daniella took such wonderful care of my dog and home. She followed every direction perfectly, paid close attention to all the little details, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog felt safe, comfortable, and loved the entire time. I’m so grateful for the care and thoughtfulness she showed, and I would wholeheartedly trust her again. She was so sweet and loving and sent us the best photos and updates. Amazing in every way❤️”

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 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.
“Couldn’t have asked for a better dogsitter! Rachel was awesome, providing daily pictures & check-in’s of Mookie, giving him plenty of walks and bathroom breaks. She left my apartment very clean as well, making my return home so easy! Definitely recommend if you’re in need of a sitter, I’ll be booking with her again in the future for sure.”


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.
“Xion was amazing! They went above and beyond in home sitting our dog over our Thanksgiving vacation. From near-daily text and photo updates, to even shoveling snow from our driveway and sidewalk, they really took care of everything and more. So grateful and would absolutely book again!”

“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☺️”

“Candace was, as always, fabulous! Our pup was (and always is) super stoked to see Candace which makes us feel happy we are all in good hands. She kept us updated, took the pup on solid walks, and the house was in great shape. She even went above and beyond by stripping the bed etc.! Not expected but very thoughtful. This was our third booking with her and we look forward to working with her again.”


About: I’ve had a dog and cat my whole life (amongst other pets) so have always had a deep care and appreciation for them. Now that I’m older, I am the go to dog/house sitter for all of my siblings’ pets and I also did a lot of dog/house sitting in New Zealand. I lived there for three years and did pet/house sitting on and off as a way to fill up my love for animals and explore the beautiful country with a dog by my side! I am very responsible, caring and want to make sure I take care of these animals that give us sooo much just from their company alone. I am used to pet sitting multiple pets and am comfortable with any age or size. Please feel free to reach out if I sound like a good fit! Looking forward to meeting your fur family :) I’m currently studying remotely so have plenty of time to care for the pets and be flexible with how I plan out my days! At the moment, I am only able to care for pets in client’s homes so if that suits you I am more than happy to take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home! I am very respectful, clean and use the space thoughtfully.
“Kirk took great care of our dogs and house while we were out of town. They seemed content upon our return and everything was in order. He communicated well and sent some pics during our trip. Would absolutely hire again!”
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

“Second time with Nichole and my boy Red loves her. I will always book with Nichole first. She’s the best. Respectful of my home and such good care of my dog. I can’t speak highly enough!!!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a couple of years now. I’ve helped out with my sister’s new dog over the past year and I have dog sitted and cat sitted throughout my life! Anything you need just let me know. I recently graduated college and I am traveling as much as I can! This is to help me with fun money while traveling. When I am home I’m open pretty full time as I don’t currently have a big boy job since I am gone at least once or twice a month. I have a fenced in yard, it is a little on the small side but still good for playing with dogs! Let me know their food schedule and how much they need to get outside, your wish is my command!
“Our usual dog sitter had to cancel on us last minute, so we were in a bind trying to find someone else to care for our sweet, special needs dog with less than a weeks notice. Big ask, especially last minute. Brandi was so quick to respond, happy to take on the job, and asked really good questions to ensure our doggo was well taken care of while we were gone. She sent pictures throughout our trip and made sure he had his medications at the times he needed them, and even took him to get a pup cup. She not only took great care of our dog, but our house as well. We came back to the house as we left it. She was kind, reliable, and we absolutely loved working with her. We will definitely be reaching out to her again.”

About: I have gone to peoples houses to hang out with their pets! I love all dogs, my parents have a dog who is dog aggressive and needs lots of extra and specific attention. I know how to handle dogs and I absolutely adore all animals! I am a university of Utah student, I don’t have a super busy schedule. I have classes during the week, not on Friday's, and chapter(sorority) on Monday night for at most 2 hours(which is unusual) I cannot book at my home, my lease says I cannot have any pets in the house at any time, I will be more than willing to come and stay at your house!

“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!!”

“Lindsay’s care and connection with my pets is truly so special. I feel completely at ease leaving town knowing they’re in such loving, attentive hands while I’m away. It’s obvious how much she genuinely cares for animals, and my pets are always calm, happy, and loved when they’re with her.”

About: Ive taken care of pets since I was 7. My first pet was a salamander named "Ziggy." My next pet was a cat named "Jenny" who lived until she was 22-years old! Currently I have a blue heeler named "Sugar" who I absolutely Love! Sugar likes treats and needs as much exercise as possible. I throw the ball for her and I take her on a walk every day around 8:00 PM when it cools down. I talk to pets. My voice seems to soothe them if they are nervous about a new person visiting. More importantly, I make sure your pets are safe before I leave. I know what it is like to leave your Fur babies and want to ensure you can relax knowing they are in good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 346 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:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
