About: Hi, I'm Jennifer! I’m a dedicated pet sitter who ensures your furry companions receive the best care possible while you're away. I specialize in keeping pets comfortable in their natural environment, offering doggy daycare and overnight sitting tailored to their routines. For overnight stays, I kindly ask for at least two weeks' advance notice to ensure I can provide the best experience for you and your pets. Doggy daycare services take place at your home, where pets can relax in familiar surroundings while receiving personalized attention, playtime, and care. I also offer daycare options for pet parents who work from home and need help keeping their pets entertained and engaged. Whether your furry friend requires extra stimulation, structured playtime, or just a peaceful presence to keep them settled while you focus, I’m happy to step in! Whether you’re traveling for work, taking a well-deserved vacation, or balancing remote work, I’ll keep your pets happy, engaged, and well-cared-for until you return. Let me know how I can make your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away—I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I wanted to share a little about how I structure my schedule to provide dependable pet care. As a freelance IT professional, I have the flexibility to adjust my workload and availability as needed. This allows me to balance my commitments, including being present for my mother’s medical appointments, while still ensuring I provide the best care for your pets. Because I can set my own hours, I’m able to prioritize my pet-sitting commitments and work around necessary appointments without compromising reliability. I always make sure my availability is clearly planned in advance so that I can provide consistent, dedicated service to every client. If you ever have scheduling requests, I’m happy to discuss options that work for both of us. I appreciate your understanding and look forward to providing great care for your furry friends! I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. For overnight stays, I ensure pets maintain their usual routine, including feeding, medication, exercise, and companionship. I kindly ask for at least two weeks' notice to provide the best experience for both pets and owners. For doggy daycare, I offer attentive care at the client’s home, keeping pets engaged while their owners are at work or working remotely. Whether a pet needs enrichment activities, structured playtime, or just a calming presence, I adjust my approach to fit their needs. I provide regular updates to give pet parents peace of mind, ensuring their furry companions receive attentive, loving care while they’re away.

Caitlin did great! I left her quite the challenge, a 5 and a half month old terrier mix pup rescue that loves to nibble:). She managed to take good care of my fur baby (updates every day with pictures to boot!) AND looked after my house while I was away in Alaska for over 2 weeks! She has a big heart and is extremely trustworthy. If you need someone to go above and beyond with your pet look no further!

Ebony did such a great job with our dogs! She was super easy to communicate with, sent pictures of the pups multiple times a day, and followed all the instructions we left. Ebony also took great care of my less people friendly dog and ended up earning her trust by the end of her stay. We will definitely be booking Ebony again and we highly recommend that you book her as well!

About: If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets like they’re my own, you’ve come to the right place! I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from playful puppies to energetic large breeds and lovable little companions. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I even volunteered with an SPCA camp for several days and still enjoy spending some of my free time around animals whenever I can. Being able to care for pets brings me so much joy, and knowing they’re happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away means everything to me. I’m also a proud dog mom to a male Yorkie and a female Toy Poodle, so I understand the patience, attention, and daily care that pets need to thrive. Along with caring for my own dogs, I’ve also pet sat for friends and family on multiple occasions, giving me experience with a variety of temperaments and routines. When your pet is with me, they’ll receive lots of love, attention, playtime, belly rubs, and personalized care. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and needs to make sure they feel happy and secure. pet care can always fit into my daily routine! I work 4am-12pm but i’m always available after those times i’m a very flexible person and always free Sunday’s and Mondays! I always treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. In my client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. That includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I also keep the home clean, send regular photo updates, and make sure pets are safe! I’ll stay close to my phone incase of emergencies and i’ll make sure your pet is loved and cared for!

Macie was great taking care of Ava during the long weekend. She went above and beyond at caring and playing with her. She even took care of the house and did way more than expected. Ava had the best time and was as happy as can be when I got home. Her communication was perfect, and I knew Ava was in good hands.

About: I've spent my whole life around animals— dogs, cats, snakes, spiders, bunnies, and hamsters. Whether it's a big ol puppy or a senior cat, I’ve cared for them with love and attention. Being with animals comes naturally from a lifetime of training, and I treat every pet like my own. Be prepared for a new nickname for your pet. I work at a business in the French quarter and my schedule is flexible. I can take a long lunch in order to check on pets. I follow all instructions and act as if I'm being watched by the owner in the moment. I was a residential housecleaner for over a decade and appreciated supervision.

Caroline was the consummate professional sitter for our recent vacation. I highly recommend her services. Caroline took great care of our pups in our home while we were gone, sending numerous pictures each day to let us know how they were doing. We could tell by their posture and demeanor they were happy and not stressed … which was our concern with leaving them with someone “new.” Caroline love the doggos and most importantly, they loved her! Additionally, Caroline took immaculate care of our home and had our place looking pristine upon our arrival home. I cannot be more pleased with her services! Use her!!! You won’t be disappointed!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with a wide range of personalities, from high-energy dogs to more sensitive or anxious ones. I’m especially attentive to a dog’s emotional needs and body language, and I prioritize making them feel safe, calm, and understood in their environment. I have hands-on experience with crate training, building positive associations, and helping dogs develop confidence when left alone. I’m patient, consistent, and gentle in my approach. I tailor care to each dog rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to create a calm, secure experience for them while you’re away. I occasionally bring my well-socialized dog with me for longer stays, but only with prior approval and proper introductions. I’m a full-time dog sitter and spend most of the time at my house, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large fenced in yard for the zoomies and I’ve dedicated a fold out couch for the dog in addition to my bed for any cuddle bubs! There’s a splash-pad and cooling stations so no one overheats after a big romp around the yard. I structure my days around walks, play, and downtime, and I’m mindful of keeping routines consistent so pets feel secure. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care on both weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize being present and your dogs will rarely, if at all, be left alone. I’m located in a quiet part of the outer 9th ward. My neighbors are friendly dog lovers too. I provide a calm, structured, and attentive environment where your pet’s safety and comfort are the top priority. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual needs, and I adjust my approach to help each dog feel safe and understood. I’m experienced with crate use, positive reinforcement, and helping dogs settle in new environments. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and take care to avoid overwhelming situations, especially for more sensitive or anxious dogs. I know when to separate dogs and how to read body language before any accidents can transpire. In your home or mine, I maintain a clean, predictable space and ensure pets are supervised, exercised appropriately, and never left in situations where they could feel unsafe or stressed.

We have been so happy with our Rover sitters and Chandra is fantastic. We know how much she loves sitting for our sweet old girl Ahi. Having an ageing dog is worrisome when having to leave them but we know she’s in great hands with Chandra. From our first meeting she seemed very responsible confident sitting for a larger older dog and has managed her medications and new changes so well. That is huge for us and we will continue to book her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Arabi

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Arabi on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 779 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arabi. 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 Arabi 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 Arabi 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 Arabi 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 Arabi. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
