“Cynthia has been such a great pet sitter and house sitter! She is on time , truly loves your animals, updates with pictures, etc. I could not recommend her more ! I would give her 10 stars if available !”
“Emily was fantastic! Overnight stays with our 4 year old doodle for a week and we got multiple updates/photos daily. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!!”
“The girls always enjoy their stays with Tess! She communicates well, sends lots of photos, and gives them love. I will continue to use her whenever I need someone I can trust with my pups!”
“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! ❤️”
“Kayleigh took great care of my house and cats! She was quick to reply to texts, sent photos of the cats, and left my house in great condition. She picked up my booking at the last minute, and was a delight to work with. I fully recommend Kayleigh.”
“Jocelyn was great with my kitties! It was nice having her help with the cats to give me peace of mind. She gave updates and was attentive to them. I definitely recommend her, and will use her again in the future!”
“Lauren was the sweetest and made our pups feel like they had family keeping them. We never worried because of her check-ins and she was wonderful with our 1 year old Shihtzu and our 11 year old lab/collie mix. We loved the photos and she made sure our dogs were so well taken care of. We would happily use her again!”
“Our dogs had a fantastic weekend! We were kept informed with photos and updates about how our dogs were. Our girl that’s tougher to win over even cuddled up! We came home to a clean house, including the guest bedding already in the dryer. Blake was professional, communicative and loved on our pups as if they were his own!”
“Anna was amazing with our dachshund and our cat. Her comnunication was consistent and her professionalism was impeccable. Our furry babies were relaxed and happy when we came home, so we know they were loved and spoiled while we were gone. We highly recommend Anna as a sitter!”
“Aubree was SO great with our doggies, Teddy and Millie! We made a last minute decision not to travel with our dogs and she was willing to come do a meet and greet and accepted the job very last minute, thankfully! She stayed at our home and made our sudden trip away for a family funeral much less stressful because we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have an older dog and a middle aged dog with potty issues, especially when routines change at home. Aubree was patient and willing to clean up after them and I’m so grateful for that extra work and effort. She also sent us pupdates while we were away and pictures! Her communication is always positive and reassuring, making it such a pleasure to know her and work with her! We’re already working on scheduling with her for another trip coming up!”
“Raelynn did a fantastic job watching our dog. She took her on multiple walks, gave her lots of cuddles, and was kind enough to send multiple pictures throughout the sitting. Would definitely recommend her and would use her again.”
“Tyler is reliable & trustworthy! Would recommend for every one, great job of watching our dogs. They were well loved and cared for. The house was in perfect shape, as well, upon returning home. Communication was 10/10 leading up to & during our vacation. Really was a huge relief to know our home & boys were receiving great care & attention.”
“Lauren was great with my pitbull Isla! She was very attentive and prepared to learn all about her and took great care of her and my house while I was away. I would highly recommend her and will plan to contact her again in the future.”
“Madelynn did a great job staying with Kal. He got plenty of exercise and playtime, and was in good spirits when I got home. She also communicated well and took good care of the house. I'll definitely be asking her to watch him again!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 7 years and have cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have many references from happy clients and treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently have a 95 pound American Pit Bull Terrier, a Corgi, and a cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for both large and small dogs as well as feline friends. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and administering medications, and I’m happy to follow any special routines or care instructions. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medications, or extra patience and attention, I’m here to help. One of my favorite experiences was getting to bring a client’s dog to their wedding so they could be part of their special day. I love helping families create memories with their pets and am always happy to go the extra mile whenever I can! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and providing plenty of photo and video updates while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable until you’re back home. I’m a nanny, which means I make my own schedule and have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m also a college student taking just six credit hours this semester, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I understand the importance of not overbooking myself, so I only accept bookings that allow me to give every pet the attention and care they deserve. If I’m not nannying, in class, or spending time with my own pets, you’ll probably find me visiting one of my furry clients! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs on walks, feeding, playing, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with lots of photos and messages, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and strive to make every visit as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.
About: Hi! I’m Jordan, originally from New Orleans and now living in Northwest Arkansas. I’m a professional dog trainer with 8 years of experience, and while I’m looking for the right dog training facility to join in the area, I’d love to spend my time helping local pet owners and their dogs. I’m available for walks, potty breaks, drop-in visits, and training sessions. Whether your dog just needs some exercise and company or you’d like to work on basic manners, leash skills, or obedience, I’m happy to help. I truly love working with dogs and treat every one like they’re my own. I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, has fun, and gets the attention they deserve, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Right now, my schedule is very flexible, so I’m happy to work around yours! After spending years working with animals every day, I honestly miss being around them. Until I find the right training facility here in Northwest Arkansas, I’m excited to meet new dogs and cats, give them the care they deserve, and build new relationships with local pet owners. As a professional dog trainer, I believe dogs thrive with structure, consistency, and clear routines—but they also deserve plenty of freedom to play, explore, and just be dogs. My home has a large, fully fenced yard where they can safely run and have fun, and safety is always my top priority. Every dog in my care gets the attention, exercise, and supervision they need to feel happy, secure, and right at home.
“Lilly was wonderful! She is very sweet and took great care of my dog. Charlie loved her. I could tell when I got back that he had bonded with her and she was now his friend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Appleby
Christopher was absolutely amazing with house sitting Jax!! He stayed in constant communication with us and would send us daily pictures of him. We felt like Jax was super at home with Christopher caring for him and could not recommend him to other pet parents enough. We will definitely be rebooking with him in the future 😊

FAQs for House Sitting - Appleby
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Appleby on Rover is $47.55 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 541 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 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 Appleby. 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.
