“Anne and Jason were so attentive to the needs of our dog Maizy! She can be kind of picky about people, but after the first meet-and-greet visit I knew she would be in great hands! We were so happy to be able to leave Maizy at home and have them check in on her while we were away for the weekend. Being new to town, we don't know many people, so we were thrilled to have this option. I wouldn't hesitate to have them look after her again!”
About: I adopted my cat, Ambrose, in 2020 and rescued my dog, Tipsy, 2 years ago. I also had a family dog for 10 years. I volunteer with a few animal shelters in the area, walking dogs and socializing cats. I am comfortable with administering a complicated or complex diet and administering pills. I have an 8-5 Monday through Friday, but am free in the early mornings, evenings, and weekends! I work remotely so I can make short visits during the day, or bring my computer and work from wherever. I am unable to bring pets into my apartment, however I do have the ability to take dogs to the park, on hikes, and to other fun places! I will cuddle your animals for hours or take them on adventures, depending on what they like to do. I am no stranger to pet induced messes so if I need to clean up an accident or give a bath, I am game. I am also good at administering pills and/or complicated diets to pets.
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. Growing up my grandma fostered all kinds of pups and that introduced me to the world of pet care. Later on in life I got a job working at a doggy daycare where I learned to take care of all varieties of dogs, ages, breeds, and personalities. I learned to take time and learn the individual dogs; what they need, how they play, what signals to look for, etc. There I also adopted my very own baby, Sugar. I absolutely LOVE dogs and I’ll take care of any like my own:) I’m currently in between jobs, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your fur-babies!! I’m able to drop in for visits/walks through the week. Times between mon-fri, 8 AM- 8 PM I can easily adapt to different schedules depending on what you need. I have tons of experience with walking all sizes of dogs, taking care of pets in home, etc. Anything you may need:)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Emporia is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 15 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Emporia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
