“This was our first time using a pet sitting service and it was absolutely amazing! Aniyah is so sweet and kind and she treated our Kingston like her own from the very first time of meeting him. Aniyah sent us pictures and updates throughout the whole stay which made us feel so relieved and comfortable knowing our boy was being well looked after. If you're looking for a dog sitter we highly recommend Aniyah, she was the best!!”
“Ayshah stayed in our home to watch our two Frenchies. One was a puppy so he needed more care, time, patience and attention during our 3 night absence. She sent a daily picture.”
About: "Dogs have been a huge part of my life, and I'm super comfortable giving meds at any time and sticking to strict routines. I've also looked after my mom's (manager's) dog, who needed a super precise schedules I typically work morning shifts but am home most of the time, and my significant other will be available to care for the animals while I’m at work. She has previous experience owning and caring for both dogs and cats, and together we’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, and proper care. My house has a big back yard for active dogs it’s fenced up and has shade for them. House is really secure really comfortable no where that any animal can get lost or stuck.
About: After spending my childhood years helping take care of dogs of many breeds and sizes, I naturally became a dog lover! I have been a dog owner for 15+ years to my pom-chi and I recently added a bichon-poo to my pack. They are treated like my babies as I have been nurturing them since they were puppies. Along side my mom's Chihuahua at times- the girls are very healthy, happy and playful. Outside of being a dog mom, I always have a love and connection to the animals and enjoy volunteering at the shelters and horseback ranch. I've administered oral and ear medication, post op care, given baths/grooming, brushing teeth, taken care of puppies... among other pet care needs. I signed up to provide these services as I enjoy the company of dogs. They're fun loving animals and a pleasure to take care of. I ensure to make your fur baby feel like they're at a home away from home. I currently live with 3 dogs and a cat of all different ages, while working from home full time. We have a routine of our own which other fur babies are welcome to join. I'm currently working from home full time and have time throughout the day to look after and care for your pets with plenty of play, rest, water and care. I have a fenced in back yard for the dogs to enjoy. My 2 other playful girls are there to join in on the fun while my senior dog can show off her favorite spots to lounge and sun bathe. I sometimes take the dogs for walks around my neighborhood so they're able to release energy and enjoy time outside the property. Although I am home, I do have crates available, if your dog prefers their own personal space. I've administered oral and ear medication, post op care, given baths/grooming, brushing teeth, taken care of puppies... among other pet care needs. In case of emergency, I'm 5 minutes away from a caring vet that I use as well as a 24 hour animal hospital.
“We felt comfortable with Nadia from the initial meet and greet to care for our dog and cat and entrusted her to house sit while we were out of town. She took great care of our pets and made their time away from us a great experience for them as well. We would definitely recommend her to watch your pets and house so your time away is worry free.”
“Shilletha did an amazing job watching all my pets and house. She sent plenty of updates with pictures and spent a lot of time taking care of my babies. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and am a current dog mom. I have cared for dogs for 10+ years for friends and family!

I work nights so I can keep your pets cared for during the day. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can adjust as need be Having 3 dogs in my home to care for currently, I am not stray to managing various needs at once.

About: Being entrusted with keeping your pet safe is not something I take lightly! I want pet parents to know their babies are well, I love to send updates and have an open line of communication!

About: Lifetime of experience with dogs and cats, 5 years of furster care for puppies (training, love, and preparing them for their forever homes), and puppy love. I work full time, but making sure they start and end their day with love is important. Walks in the evening and weekend adventures are options. I have a fenced in yard for watching my parents animals. My own never miss a day of snuggles and play. If your furbaby stays at my home it will need to be cat friendly and would be safe downstairs where there is plenty of room to play. Giving all animals a safe space.
“Deondre was very responsive and made a point to send tons of photos of our two dogs during drop in visits while we were gone for a week! Deondre started with a home visit to get to know the boys before we left. While we were gone, they spent a lot of time with the two dogs and made sure they stuck to the feeding/ potty schedule. We were very happy with how the dogs and our home were taken care of during our trip and would use Deondre again and highly recommend them to friends and family!”
About: I started caring for pets in school by looking after classmates pets and later helping neighbors.

I love treating pets as family, celebrating their lives, and including them in my daily routine whenever possible. I have experience with both puppies and senior pets. I am patient, reliable, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently on vacation, which allows me to have a flexible schedule to play with, walk, and fully care for your pet. I am available from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, both weekdays and weekends. I provide reliable and attentive care in the client’s home. I always follow instructions carefully, respect the home, and ensure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I give them exercise, attention, and affection to keep them happy and relaxed.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. From playful puppies to senior companions, I understand their needs and personalities. With years of hands-on care, I provide patience, attention, and love. Your pup will be treated like family every time they’re with me. I own a work from own business so I’m free all day. I just make a few calls around 7am and then my day is open. In my home, pets are treated like family. They’ll enjoy a safe, comfortable, and loving environment filled with care, attention, and plenty of playtime to keep them happy.

Mellanese was wonderful! She was polite, punctual, so sweet and great with our two golden retrievers. They loved her! Mellanese took good care of them and she reached out to us with updates. She left our home just as she found it. We hope she is available the next time we need a pet sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Arbor West
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,867 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arbor West. 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 West 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 West 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 West 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.
