About: I am a vet assistant at the small animal hospital looking for a way to spend more time with animals of all shapes and sizes. My goal is to make sure that your fur babies have as little anxiety as possible while I am taking care of them while making sure they exercise and are entertained I work full time but can come walk or feed your fur child before and after work. However weekends I am completely free to spend however long you need me too with your animal. In a clients home I will treat your home like a fine art museum, my goal is that you will never know I was there.
About: Grew up with two cats in Massachusetts and spent a lot of time taking care of dogs over the Summer in Alaska. Recently graduated with a Master's degree from UF. Currently living by myself and I have plenty of time and space to take care of animals. I can accommodate any time that is convenient for pet owners. Luckily I can make my own schedule since I work as a valet manager and sales manager. I make sure pets get plenty of attention and care. I take pride in ensuring the pets are safe, secure, and loved whenever I'm with them.
“Like all companion animal owners, my wife and I have a sentimental weakness for our charge, Sadie, a light cream, eight year old golden retriever. She is the most calm golden we have ever had and despite her very recent, self-appointed mission of alerting us in barks, to any new visitor down our lane, she is as gentle, sweet and accepting a dog as anyone could hope to have. When we met Sydney for the first time, we knew in minutes, that she was the kind of person in whom we could place, without reservation, the care of our beloved Sadie. Sydney is intelligent, mature, well-organized, thorough, and a genuinely compassionate caregiver to companion animals. She was responsive to our occasional requests while away, providing periodic photo updates and later, generously offered to leave her schedule open if alter-ations to our return travel plans necessitated. In short, we extend to Sydney our highest recommendation and hope against hope, that she will remain available for future vacation getaways. (5/5 stars) ***** !!!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Sandy over the weekend! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with great communication and photos. Our Dogs were happy and relaxed when we returned, and we would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them.”
“Kate is absolutely wonderful! She is very attentive, punctual and understanding. You can definitely tell she cares about what she does. She takes the time on a meet and greet to actually sit down and give your fur babies attention. I have met some sitters for a meet and greet, and they seem to be in a hurry when they do their first visit… but Not Kate 😀. I felt extremely comfortable, leaving my home and my fur babies in her care.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for about six years now, I started helping my sister when she originally joined Rover. It got to the point where we had our regulars and their dogs became family to us! Long story short, she moved and I still have a few regulars, but I have some extra time on my hands because of my school schedule and am excited to meet some new pets :) I am currently a student at UF (last semester woohoo!) and have classes Tuesdays-Thursdays. All other days I am typically available, just need a bit of a heads up :) I also have some time midday Tuesday in between some classes. I always take care of dogs how I wish others would take care of mine. I am a strict rule follower and will care for your pets exactly how you want me to (plus some extra cuddles)! I will respect any of your wishes if you choose to book with me.
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. I want to help you with whatever you need, and make things easier and comfortable. I am able to follow specific instructions, and do whatever is needed to welcome the pet into my home or at make them comfortable at yours. I am currently looking for work opportunities, so I am home often/most of the day, so I will be able to play and hang with your animals for a bit, or be with them often if they are at mine. I take care of my animals everyday so it is not a big deal to add an extra. I have a fenced in back yard to let the dogs run free and three dogs and a cat at home. They will have at least one play partner to hang with them (the other two are a bit more reserved, but are good with others) or if you would like them separated, that is also okay. I am also able to walk the dogs if they need more exercise than just running around. I am willing to come to you if that is preferred and let your pets out or walk them. I do have a spare cage that can be used for your pet if you forget yours.
“Sabrina is calm and caring and kept our 10 month kitten safe and sound giving him 1 on 1 playtime and attention while we traveled over the holidays. She also sent daily updates and photos which was very reassuring. It gave us peace of mind to know that he was in good hands with Sabrina!”
“We felt so comfortable having "Shey" take care of our little Chloe. She sent pictures and videos every day. She gave Chloe so much love and attention. We were so pleased. When we returned from our trip, our house was spotless. I would absolutely have her take care of our home and Chloe again!”

About: I have taken care of several pets of family and friends over the last few years through house sitting and drop ins. Most pets I have encountered warm up to me quickly. I enjoy playing with the pets I meet and helping reinforce skills their pet parents have taught them. For this reason multiple family and friends have requested I petsit their pets repeatedly and I enjoy spending time with their furry loved ones each time! My schedule is flexible, so I can take care of your pets when most times. I am most available during the day between 7am -5pm. I am happy to take dogs on a walk during the day, and serve pets their meals. I can also play with them and provide them some company if they need it.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. From raising playful puppies to providing gentle, attentive senior care, I’ve experienced every stage of a dog’s journey. I’m confident in training, daily routines, and adapting to each dog’s unique needs to ensure comfort, consistency, and happiness. My goal is to offer dependable, loving care—treating every dog as if they were my own. I have two wonderful dogs of my own who receive my daily love and attention, but outside of their care, my schedule is flexible and open. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship, I’m dedicated to giving your pets the same level of comfort and care I give my own. Whether it’s a quick bathroom break in the backyard or full house and pet sitting for multiple nights, I provide attentive, reliable care with professionalism and love. You can trust that every task will be completed thoughtfully, and that your pets will feel safe, happy, and well-cared for.
“Ilana did a wonderful job! Very communicative with updates that included photos. We came home to some happy pups. 10/10 and would recommend to anyone looking for someone to care for their furbabies while away”
“Riley stayed with my dogs for boarding at my place. I came home to two happy pups. Riley was easy to communicate with, left the space tidy, and kept me updated. Would definitely book again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Archer
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 473 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Archer. 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 Archer 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 Archer 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 Archer 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.

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.
