“Anne and her family took excellent care of our cats while we were traveling. They even made friends with a very shy girl and gave her treats. I got a good update and pictures from each visit.”
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.
“Madison was so sweet, she came to meet my dog before the actual visits and asked a lot of great questions to make sure she had all of the information she needed. She showed up for every check-in scheduled and even sent pictures, I could tell from the photos that my dog was so happy to spend time with her. I will definitely book with her again, she’s awesome!”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats all of my life. I adore both of these animals and have a great bond with them. I am fresh out of college, so I'm pretty available. This is perfect for me because I can work when I can and where I can. I feed my animals of a scheduled basis and feed them portions based on the vets recommendation. I have a gated backyard where I let my dogs play and use the restroom.
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:)
About: I've homed a wide-range of pets throughout the years but mostly dogs! From 2 large St. Bernard's to a tiny rat terroir, I'm comfortable with any breed. I currently work full time Mon-Fri but I have an hour lunch break that I would love to use to give your precious pup a walk or potty break! I'm available weekends along with Monday's and Tuesday's for boarding. I have a large, fenced in backyard with lots of space to play! I also have a doggy door that leads into the fenced in backyard. I have three dogs (mini aussie, regular aussie, and bernadoodle) but they go between staying at my house & my boyfriend's house so if you have a dog that prefers their space from other dogs that is no problem at all!
About: I help take care of my family's pets whenever they went on family trips and I work a sometimes on weekends I would watch my neighbor's cat. Im working part time at the moment so I would have plenty of time to play with your pups and/or cats. Monday, Wednesday, Friday noon to 5pm and Saturday noon to three pm. I am currently only able to offer dog walking and in home dog sitting at the moment so the way I would care for the pets would be based on how you would like. How to feed, when to walk, all of that will be up to you as the client.
About: I’ve always had pets and always took care of them. I now have my own that I personally take care of and take care of friends and families pets. I have done drop ins and overnights for family friends and I also worked at a vet walking dogs and cleaning up their living spaces. I also fed both cats and dogs and gave them daily meds. I work full time, 9am-3pm wednesday-friday, 1pm-10pm saturday & sunday. i already do drop in visits 8am and 12pm monday-friday but i can make room in my schedule and off days to add more in. I have great transportation that I’m fine with taking animals in. I can take your pet to a dog park or to a trail to walk at and get them some sunshine. I have walked dogs through snow and rain so there’s no stopping me! I also am comfortable staying overnight at a clients home to take care of a pet. Also if you want your cat taken for walks I 100% can do that! I have been trying to get my cat to take walks but he’s still a little too small for his harness. I can also bring a harness for your cat to borrow if you don’t have one!
“Shadow and Jasmine were well taken care of while I was gone. They were well taken care of and it gave me peace of mind knowing they were happy. Seeing the pictures were great. Will use her service again”
About: Friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feeding and playing with their pets. And even sometimes have play dates with my dog. I’m currently trying to find things to keep me busy there out the week/weekends so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I’m available during the week and weekends at any time. I have two friendly pets to keep your fur baby company.crate your dog if needed I have a labradoodle. She is two years old and I have a Sphynx cat, which is four years old.
“First time leaving my furr baby and Trinda was so good! She put me as ease leaving my cat and took good care of her and played and gave her all the attention she needed ? definitely would ask her to care for my pets again because she took time to brush, play and feed them.”

This was my first time utilizes Rover. Not only was Madison super friendly and personable, but her communication and updates on my fur babies was great! I loved knowing that they were taken care of so well while I was away! And the photos of them always made my day!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Emporia on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 13 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Emporia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Emporia stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
