“Cindy was a great sitter for Tippy! He is a very anxious dog. She was patient with him and waited until he came to her. She worked with him to get him to eat while I was gone. I highly recommend Cindy! She worked with me when I had to leave a day early. She came in and took care of things.”
“Carole was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She stayed with our 1.5-year-old rescue puppy and our 11-year-old cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was friendly, reliable, and consistently sent plenty of updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Carole spent quality time caring for and playing with our puppy, making sure his energy and needs were met, while also being respectful of both pets’ unique personalities and boundaries—especially important for our older cat. It was clear she truly cares about animals and takes the time to understand them individually. We would highly recommend Carole to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and we”
“This was my first time having Alexi watch my pups and home, and it definitely won't be the last! She did an awesome job, and judging by the photos of them snuggled up on her lap, you can tell they loved having her here! 🥰 She sent lots of updates, photos and videos. She also went above and beyond by working with my puppy, Bessie, on some training stuff. As far as my home, she was great with making sure all my mail and packages were brought in, trash bins went out on trash day, etc. It unfortunately rained here most of the time I was away, but she was great with managing the mud and wiping down the pups' paws when they came in from the backyard. Her attention to detail and top-notch communication were greatly appreciated, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur babies. ☺️”
“Amanda was awesome. We have two dogs with opposite personalities and one who can be reactive. Amanda gave clear and consistent updates throughout the visit and sent great photos as well. She was able to bond with our reactive dog and keep an eye on our skiddish one. We have already rebooked her for the next trip.”
“Madeline was great with our 2 dogs! One of our pups is very timid with new people but warmed up quickly to her. She played with them, was flexible with their diet due to unforeseen changes while we were away, and made sure our dogs who have separation anxiety felt comforted and loved. We will be booking her again for future trips!”
“Alyssa did a great job watching our pup while we were out of town for a few days. She sent us pictures everyday. She checked up on our pup as agreed, we’ll definitely ask her to watch our Little Lailah in the future.”
“Joey did an excellent job staying with my senior pup while I was away from home. Kept me updated, ensured my pup got his medicines, and gave him lots of attention while I was gone. Would book again!!”
“Susan was amazing! She took time to meet with me and my dog Bella. During this visit, Bella sat on the couch with Susan and laid her head in Susan's lap and went to sleep. While I was away, Susan sent me pictures so I could see Bella was doing ok. I definitely want Susan to stay with Bella again!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing!! I had to find a sitter last minute, and I loved her bio the moment I read it. She responded quickly to my request and made sure to nail out the details for my dog’s stay. I could tell she’s experienced and loves animals, and so could my dog! She sent regular updates and pictures, and when I saw my dog frolicking in her backyard and snuggled up later on in the evening like he forgot I had dropped him off was all I needed to set my mind at ease haha! Lauren is a fantastic sitter and I will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you so much!!”
“Rosalind was able to come stay with our babies last-minute, and we were so comfortable leaving them with her. She kept us updated and sent plenty of pics while we were gone. We can’t recommend her enough, and will be booking her again in the future!”
“We’ve used Hannah multiple times and she has been fantastic every time. She’s very communicative while we’re away and always keeps us updated, which gives us great peace of mind. Our pets clearly adore her and are always happy and relaxed when we return. They love to snuggle with her, and it’s obvious she genuinely enjoys spending time with them. We would absolutely recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Shirley was wonderful. She stayed at our home and took great care of our dog while we were away. She was kind, respectful of the house, and very easy to communicate with. We came back to a happy dog and everything exactly as we left it. We would absolutely have her sit for us again and highly recommend her.”
“Jessica was amazing with my dogs. They were well take care of and she took the time to play with them and give them love and attention. I will definitely ask her to watch them again if I need a sitter and I highly recommend her”
“Michael was absolutely wonderful! He showed up on time and sent updates and images throughout the days. This was our first time using Michael and we could not be happier with the care he provided our 2 dogs with. We will definitely be asking him to dog sit again during future vacations!”
“Shelby is an excellent house and pet sitter. She is loving and caring with our dogs. The dogs really enjoyed their time with her. She took care of our home and it was a pleasure to not worry while we travelled. We highly recommend her.”
“Jiselle was wonderful! We have two big crazy pups that can be a lot and she was great with them. She was on time and sent daily updates with pictures of what they did that day. It was such a relief to know our dogs were being well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely reach out to Jiselle in the future!”
“Kaylan was fantastic house sitting and watching over my 2 dogs and 2 cats. She took great care of my energetic dogs and followed all my pet instructions. I appreciated the daily updates and photos. And my house was tidy on my return. Definitely will be using Kaylan again!”
“She did such a great job staying with our two old lady dachshunds! Gave us the peace of mind we needed while we are away, with lots of photo updates, responsive, on time, and took great care of them and our home. Will definitely be having her come stay with the girls again!”
“Naho was amazing! She went above and beyond for my pup even got her some toys. Although it was mother’s day we came to an agreement that worked for both of us and I’m glad I picked Naho as my sitter. Very detailed as many photos and check ins were sent throughout the visit and also was extremely punctual and kind. Definitely will be booking again and again 😁”
“It was a pleasure working with Yoli. Calli had lots of play time with her dogs. It was great seeing pictures and videos they sent showing she was happy and comfortable outside of her home environment.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arbor Forest
Cindy is the only reason I was able to relax and enjoy my time away from my 2 corgis and spicy kitty. She has a wonderful vibe, and my anxious little girl corgi took to her immediately. We came home to 3 very happy and well cared for fur babies . As first time Rover users, we feel like we started with the absolute best pet sitter on the platform. We loved getting the pictures and videos she sent us daily, and her communication was great. She is an absolute angel, and we can't thank her enough!
I would highly recommend Rose! She was available for a last minute booking to sit our two dogs and stay at our home. She was quick to respond and communicate throughout the entire process. She came and did a meet and greet beforehand to ensure the dogs were comfortable with her. I have a very large cane Corso and she did great with him! She communicated and provided updates throughout the stay and left our home clean and tidey. I would absolutely recommend Rose and will book her again in the future.
5 stars! Hannah is our go-to sitter and always takes great care of our pets and home. Excellent communication, regular updates, and everything was in great shape when we got back. We never worry when Hannah is staying with Dakota and Watson. Highly recommend!
If angels walked on earth…I can’t say enough great things about Jennifer. I was terrified to leave our elderly dog, who already needed extra care and then had an upset tummy on top of his normal issues. Jennifer was like an angel. She comes with knowledge of elderly dogs and some medical conditions already, and she was communicative and observant caring for our dogs. This trip could have been a nightmare for me, but she made it enjoyable and stress-free. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat.

FAQs for House Sitting - Arbor Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Arbor Forest on Rover is $31.64 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 4,454 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arbor Forest. 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 Arbor Forest 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 Arbor Forest 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 Arbor Forest 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
