“I seriously can’t say enough good things about Emily. She house sat and watched all of my pets.. cats, rabbits, and even my reptiles, and absolutely crushed it. I was gone for an entire week, which made me nervous, especially having a medically-needy cat, but everything went perfectly. Her communication was consistent the whole time. She sent updates, photos, and videos that made me feel totally at ease. They were humorous and cute, showing that my animals were being loved and cared for by a professional. She even filmed the walkthrough when I was explaining everyone’s care routines so she could make sure she got everything right. That kind of effort and thoughtfulness is rare, and it meant so much. Everything was spotless when I got home, and every single pet looked happy and cared for. She’s trustworthy, responsible, and just genuinely great with animals. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have her pet sit again.”

“I had such a great experience with Katelyn watching Oakley! She stayed at my house for the weekend and took such great care of her. She was reliable, caring, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing Oakley was in good hands. I came home to a happy pup and everything in the house was just as I left it. Would definitely recommend her and would love to have her watch Oakley again! ❤️”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and the hands-on experience I have gained caring for many different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have several years of dog-sitting experience and have cared for over 10 families, including one family for more than three years and still am a recurring sitter. I even started dog sitting before I could drive with my grandparents 10+ different pets, along with my other families 2 Giant Schnauzers and 2 cats. I am comfortable with feeding, walks, medication, accidents, bedtime routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and playtime. I have dealt with a seizure prone dog with 7 different types of meds day and night with scheduled times. I also worked at an animal clinic and currently have experience working around large groups of dogs. Through these experiences, I have learned how to recognize body language, understand individual triggers, and safely handle different situations. I have also worked alongside veterinary professionals, which has taught me more about responsible animal care. Most importantly, I take the time to learn each dog’s personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have become very close with all of the dogs and animals I have pet sit for but also the owners. As a first-year college student, my schedule changes throughout the week, but I have plenty of availability around my classes. I have my own car, so I can easily travel for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I am generally available after my afternoon classes, in the evenings, and on weekends. I also have flexibility between classes on some days and can work around my sorority commitments with advance notice. I am happy to care for pets in their home, where they are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I always follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, medication, and bedtime. I also absolutely love cuddling with dogs and, if the owner is comfortable with it, I am more than happy to let them sleep with me, no matter their size! I take time to learn each pet’s personality, needs, and triggers so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away.

About: Hey there! My name is Sam and I just moved to Arkansas from Texas! A little about me, I am a mental health therapist and primarily see clients online at this point in my career! I have been an animal lover my entire life. There hasn't been a time in my life where I haven't had an animal living with me (except my freshman year in college, but it was probably better that way!) I started by dog/cat sitting for family and friends back in Texas and that has grown into a side business that I want to bring to Arkansas. I’ve watched all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, fish, bearded dragon, ferrets, bunnies, horses, donkeys, goats, and more! I now only have one cat, Millie, who loves me and pretty much no one else. I miss having pups in my life and don't know a whole lot of people in Arkansas yet so I figured this would be a great way to connect and love on some animals! I hope to hear from you soon! My schedule is mostly consistent from week to week but I work odd hours and times. I work from home so I would be available all day! If I’m watching your pup at my home, I have an entirely enclosed fence so they would get plenty of outdoor/run time. Your pup would have to get along with cats, however mine will typically stay away if she knows someone or something else is in the house!

About: I am a responsible care taker and have enjoyed taking care of many pets, most especially dogs. Big or small. Lazy or hyper... I love animals! My name is Sharon. I am a mom and grandma. I currently work remotely from home as my primary employment. I enjoy reading literature and walking in the park. If you need someone loving and responsible to care for your pet, it could be me! I work remotely from home (on my pc) during certain scheduled hours through out the week for my primary job. Since my work is flexible it leaves plenty of time for quality pet care. I plan to drive to my client's home and take care of their pets as per their wishes. I also have a fenced in yard and a sidewalk where I live so pet sitting at my home is also an option.

About: I’ve been around dogs and animals my entire life, and I’m definitely the person who will ignore the humans in the room and go straight for the dog. I’m responsible, attentive and very comfortable stepping into a pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, medications, sticking to their feeding schedule or just providing some excellent couch companionship. Every pet has their own personality, quirks and very specific opinions about how things should be done, and I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m especially good with dogs who need a little extra patience or reassurance when their people are away. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated so you know everything is going well and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention while you’re gone. Fair warning: I’ll probably give them a ridiculous nickname by day two. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I can work around your pet’s routine instead of expecting them to work around mine. Walks, meals, potty breaks, playtime and bedtime can all stay as close to normal as possible. I’m also happy to spend plenty of time at the house, so your pet won’t just get a quick hello, a bowl of food and a disappearing act. If they’re used to having someone around, they’ll have me around. When I’m staying in your home, my goal is pretty simple: keep your pet happy, safe and comfortable while you’re gone. I’ll follow your instructions, pay attention to the little things and treat your home the way I’d want someone to treat mine. And you won’t have to wonder what’s going on. I’m happy to send pictures and updates along the way. I know you’re trusting me with your pet and your home, and I take both seriously. Even if your dog and I are having very unserious conversations while you’re gone.

About: I have over five years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them. I believe every dog deserves patience, attention, and care tailored to their needs. I always do my best to make sure each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while they’re with me. I am currently a student at the University of Arkansas that works part time before class however I am completely free after class and all day Friday-Sunday. I live in a townhome with a backyard, although it is not fenced. I’m happy to provide crate care when needed and can take dogs outside for walks and bathroom breaks on a leash. I’m also comfortable traveling to clients’ homes for both quick check-ins and longer visits to make sure their pets are comfortable, cared for, and have everything they need.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and now have a pup of my own that I got in college. I’d love to care for your fur baby in the same way I would my own ❤️. I’d also love to send updates and pics as well, as I know I appreciate that when I’m out of town as well! I recently graduated college and work full time, but a lot of it can be remote so I’m able to be available for your fur babies :) I make sure to get acclimated, and take dogs out every couple of hours or so. I’m down to do whatever your dog wants whether that be a fun active walk/jog or just chilling in the couch! I also take my pup on frequent walks and to the dog park to get all of her energy out!

Being new to the area, finding someone we could trust with our pups was really important to us, and we feel so lucky to have found Breanna! She made us feel completely at ease from the start and took such wonderful care of our fur babies. She updated us daily and ensured that our pups had their meds along with plenty of snuggles! We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust and will definitely be booking with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Appleby

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Appleby is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 per night. 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 534 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Appleby. 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 Appleby 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 Appleby 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 Appleby 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 , 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 .

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Appleby. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
