“Caelyn is the best! She cared for our dog with so much love and attention! She went above and beyond to make sure everything was okay, even when our return was delayed. I very much recommend Caelyn and she will be our first choice if we ever need dog sitting again!”
“Clarisa was amazing! She was so sweet and took great care of our babies! She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. We didn’t have to worry about our babies because we knew she was taking great care of them!”
“Dom did such a great job with my crew...even when my cat brought in a surprise rabbit! All of my animals adored her and had a great time. Communication and response time was fantastic. Will definitely rehire for future sitting needs”
“Timely communication, knowledgeable and accommodating! Brooklyn saved the day caring for my terriers while I had a family engagement. I was in from out of town and she made sure that my boys were well cared for in a city where I didn’t know anyone. She let me know what was happening, was flexible and kind. I can’t recommend her more highly!”
About: I have worked both with puppies and older dogs and I know how important it is to spend quality time with the dogs. As someone who has a dog with anxiety and as a pet owner I know no one wants their pet or “fur-baby” to feel they’ve been abandoned when you are out of the house, which is why I prioritize taking time to just sit or play with them. I am college student with a flexible schedule, currently, most of my availability is anytime before noon during the week and anytime on the weekends! My yard has a fence and there are several playful and sweet dogs in surrounding homes. There are also parks near by allowing my dog and others the ability to run.

About: I have bathed, walked, fed, and watched many dogs. I’ve taken care of many different breeds and sizes. I’ve owned 4 dogs including a german shepherd and Boykin spaniels. I also have experience with puppies! I’m a college student currently so I would be able to care for pets before, between, and after classes. I am very reliable and I’m good at communicating! I make sure to maintain a safe and loving environment! I love animals so I will give them the best care! I am very dependable!
“Hannah stayed in my home with my dog and cat while my husband and I were on vacation for a week. I have nothing but good things to say! Hannah was so sweet and took excellent care of my babies and my home! She was very communicative and sent me several updates per day. I trusted her with my babies and I could tell they were so happy and relaxed in her care! We will definitely work with her again in the future!”
“Morgan was hands down the best sitter we have ever had. All of our fur babies were so happy. She sent us daily pictures, updates, and stories. She took immaculate care of our home. We will being using Rover/Morgan O. every chance we get! Thank you Rover and Morgan O. for making our vacation wonderful with peace of mind our babies were being taken care of, just as we would've. ??”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was 12 years old! I’ve had experience with both mini poodles and toy poodles, and I currently have both a toy poodle and a mini poodle of my own. Having dogs throughout my life has taught me how important patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m currently a college student, so my schedule varies depending on the day, but I have plenty of availability for pet sitting and dog walking. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I’m usually finished with classes around 1 PM. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m usually finished around 5 PM. My weekends are completely open, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Since I live in a dorm, I’m unable to have pets stay inside with me, but I’d be more than happy to spend the day outside with your pet, take them on walks, play with them, visit a dog park, or give them lots of attention and exercise. I’m also available for house sitting when my schedule allows! I take your pet’s safety and comfort very seriously. Since I live in a college dorm, I’m unable to provide overnight boarding in my own home, but I’m happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting at your home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention, and follow any specific instructions you leave for me. I’m also happy to keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away so you know your pet is doing well.
About: What sets me apart is my love for animals for most of my life I’ve lived side by side with cats and dogs. Now that I’m dog sitting I give the same love and spoils to them as if they were my own. I am capable of giving medicine and bathing your pets if given proper instruction for special needs. I like to go the extra mile for any of your pets as I said I’ll take care of them as if they were my own. Last I would like to say that I’m very energetic so if your pet likes walks or runs I’m your guy. I’m currently working and going to school so anytime after 5pm will work for me. If you need me earlier usually weekends I can do early mornings. I have a fenced in side yard and a screened back porch. Just over the fence is some grass and some large bushes that act as a natural wall.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have grown up with lots of pets, so taking care of animals has always been a big part of my life! I’ve cared for dogs and cats with all different personalities and needs, and I’m very patient and responsible. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get lots of love and attention! I’m currently working part time but will always have time in morning, afternoon, and or night to check up on an animal. Will be gone for 4 hours max at a time. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I follow their normal routine, make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given lots of love. I’m also respectful of your home and will make sure everything stays clean and just how you left it. And of course always keep your babies safe.
“I'm struggling with writing this review. I want to be fair while also giving an accurate review of how I felt this weekend when I was 5 hours away and worried. I really liked Anna when I met her, I think she is a good person, and my dog really likes her, so that is definitely positive. I've already talked to Anna about how communication could have been better when she was going to be significantly later than I expected starting out the weekend house/pet sitting due to her other job. I ended up calling another friend that night to come take care of Cassie because it was 11:30pm and I had no idea when Anna would arrive, even after texting her to ask and not getting a response. Anna was here house and pet sitting for the weekend, and it looked like she didn't spend much time with my dog. The doorbell camera gave me notifications when there was motion at the door, and it looked like she was gone most of the day only coming in for about 30 minutes in the afternoon and 30 min in the evening to let my dog out before coming back to stay at my house overnight. It might be my fault if I wasn't clear enough in my expectations, but my dog was left alone more this weekend than she ever has been, including weekends that she has been with other sitters.”

I can’t recommend her more highly!
We used Jacqueline for an overnight stay with our dog and she was great! Jacqueline was prompt to respond to all communication leading up to the stay. Our house was left in great shape, and Duke seemed super happy when we returned home. We look forward to booking Jacqueline again!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Arbor Hills is $21 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $31 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 Hills 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 Hills 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 Hills 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
