“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Sara was wonderful to have pet sit in our home. She was really nice and also flexible when we were setting up the booking. I loved the cute pictures she sent of our dog and cat, and her communication was excellent. I really appreciate the excellent care she took of both our babies and our home.”
“Carolina stayed with Maggie for a week while we were in Portugal. Besides being very sweet and accommodating, she went above and beyond just watching Maggie. She got the mail, watered the flowers outside, checked the skimmer baskets in the pool for us, dealt with contractors who were working on the pool and yard, dealt with Comcast because the contractors cut the internet line and washed and changed the sheets. The house was left exactly as it was when we left. Best of all Maggie, who doesn't like strangers to touch her, warmed up to Carolina like we have never seen before. We received pictures and videos of Maggie playing with her toys with Carolina and letting her give her belly rubs like she does only with family! Carolina was our second sitter because we were gone for 2 weeks and couldn't find anyone available for the whole time, so she met with the first sitter who went over everything with her before she left. We would definitely book Carolina again and now we feel more comfortable leaving Maggie, when before it was very much a challenge and other options hadn't gone well (drop ins, staying at other people's houses). Most of all Maggie would love to see her again! She's a dog whisperer!”
“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.”
“Rebekah and Sadie did such a good job with our two babies. They went above and beyond to return our home back to us the same as we left it while still meeting the needs of our girls. They are definitely a great team! Hope to rebook with them again in the very near future.”
About: Experienced dog handler at daycare and boarding facility for 2 years, plus 5 years pet sitting and caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine through scheduled feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I plan my work and school hours around providing consistent morning, afternoon, and evening care. I make time for exercise, cleaning, and updates to ensure pets stay safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout each stay or visit. I care for pets by following each owner’s instructions closely and maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. In my home or a client’s home, I provide regular feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I monitor behavior, comfort, and safety at all times and keep the environment clean and stress-free. I’m experienced with dogs from daycare and boarding settings as well as cats, so I’m comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

“Shannon was amazing! She took great care for our two dogs, and sent pictures daily of them playing and hanging out. She went out of her way to get them a stuffed pumpkin when they tore up their other stuffed animal. I totally recommend her and completely trust her.”

Cindy is amazing. My senior dogs, Bazinga and Baxter took to Cindy instantly, and that’s saying a lot with Baxter. She did an overnight stay with them and sent me regular updates and pictures. My kiddos were in wonderfully capable hands and I would highly recommend. That kind of peace of mind is priceless for all of us when traveling and apart. Thank you, Cindy!
Rose did an amazing job taking care of our two poodles. Our boy poodle has stress seizures. Rose did a great job at giving him his medicine on time and making relaxed atmosphere for our dogs to be in. Rose gave updates and pictures of our dogs and didn't hesitate to reach out with any questions. During our meet and greet a day prior to our vacation Rose came by and the dogs loved her from the start. We will definitely reach out again soon when we need someone to look after our dogs. Thank 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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Arbor Forest is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $67 per night.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 Arbor Forest. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
