“Cindy has come and puppy sat our 5 month old Beagle in our home for 2 days so far while my husband and I were at work. We were nervous as this is our first dog and first time using Rover. Cindy put us at such ease! She was GREAT with our boy and sent us updates during the day with pictures. We will definitely be using her more.”
“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!”
“Susan was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home for a week and took care of our two pups and watched the house while we were away. One of our dogs is very high maintenance and the other has anxiety and she made them both feel so loved and safe. I was a bit hesitant about having a stranger in my home for that long but Susan was extremely professional and any concerns I had quickly went away after meeting her. I would absolutely recommend Susan and will be asking her to dog sit for all upcoming vacations we plan. Thank you Susan, I (and the pups) are extremely grateful for your extraordinary care.”
“Amanda, was amazing. She really went above and beyond caring for my dogs and keeping me updated. The pics daily were awesome, and I knew everything they were doing. We will use her again for sure.”
“Michael took care of our 18 week boxer puppy on Saturday and did a great job. He is kind, considerate and made sure he thoroughly understood what care our dog needed and then delivered. We recommend Michael highly and will definitely use his services again.”
“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.”
“Hannah was a fantastic sitter. She took great care of our pets, kept everything clean, and made the whole process easy with consistent updates. We came home to happy pets and a spotless space, which is exactly what you hope for. We’ll definitely be booking with her 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!!”

“Rey is one amazing sitter. He was super friendly and great with my boy Diddley. I would give him a 100 stars. I would love to employ his services every time I have to leave my boy at home.”
“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.”
“Adahy is awesome his communication skills are impeccable. I can’t wait to refer him to my neighbors and for him to be able to care for our pet us again. He is truly a gem and a superstar. Katie and Dusty loved having him around and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
About: Your pet baby will receive loving care when they are with me. My husband and I treat fur babies like our own six grown children. I have businesses online. My schedule is flexible. I can work during various times during the day. We can discuss you and your daily needs for your fur baby. When walking your dog, I will give him or her my full attention. I walk a dog on the side of me away from the street.
“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!”
“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. ☺️”
“Jasmine was incredible! Kept me well informed about what was going on with Baxter. Spent lots of time outside with him. I could tell he had a great time with Jasmine! Will definitely use Jasmine again in the future to house & dog sit.”

Cindy took care of my 6 month old for a week. I am an anxious first time pet parent and she absolutely helped me get through the week in peace. She sent regular updates and pictures and I could see my little boy happy and playing in each of them. She is also super quick to respond. Thanks for all your help Cindy! We are thankful we found you.
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.
This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone that wasn’t our family. Thankfully Esteban was available. He understood how to handle our high energy dobermans including my puppy. My dogs LOVE him now. I feel relieved knowing we can count on him in the future.
I wanted my dog to have human companionship while I was out of town for a week. She has separation anxiety and has never been left alone. Christina not only spent some time during the day with her, but she spent several nights listen my dog as well. And it didn't cost any more than a kennel where she would have been alone in a cage most of the time.

FAQs for House Sitting - Arbor Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Arbor Forest on Rover is $31.08 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 4,433 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.

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.
