About: I have always had dogs in my life and have a true passion for animals. I have nearly two decades of experience taking care of dogs, including walking, bathing, and administering oral and topical medication. Having spent my life with dogs, I have experience with all stages of life including those facing chronic illness. I am always looking into ways to further educate myself on how to care for dogs. My current routine includes caring for my cat daily, and up to three days a week I have a consistent dog walking client during midday. If I have an additional client, I work their care into my routine. At my parents home they have a fenced in side yard and I will still occasionally give them baths or medication. In my home I routinely administer topical medication for my cat, clips his nails, and clean his litter box and water fountain. My cat also occasionally requires oral medication due to his chronic illness. My current clients either live in a home without a fenced in area, or in an apartment community so I will walk their dogs regularly (3-4 times a day) when doing a full day, or will walk them based on need this in addition to administering any necessary medication and feedings.
“Michelle is great! She took excellent care of our 10 year old pup and our house during our time away. I received plenty of updates and returned home to a happy and healthy boy! I felt relaxed the whole time with our dog under Michelle’s care. I highly recommend Michelle!”
About: I have had cats since 2000. My first two cats, Monster and Marcea, lived to be 23 and 18 years old respectively. I have experience taking care of senior cats, cats who need medicine, and special needs cats. My cat, Millie, lost one of her eyes due to an iris melanoma. I have an Instagram page called Adventures in Cat Sitting to share some pictures and fun stories. If you’d prefer that I not include any pictures of your cats from your booking, please let me know. I am a recently retired teacher (27 years of experience) and have an open and flexible schedule. I am available during weekdays, weekends, and with enough notice, holidays. I live in an apartment with my two cats, Millie and Maverick. They are both rescue kitties who are strictly indoor kitties. They get regular vet visits, and in recent years, extra vet visits for my special needs cat, Millie.
About: I am a reliable sitter with experience caring for pets of all kinds. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet's individual needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship.

About: I’ve been a dog owner most of my life! Currently, I own two dogs and I treat them like children. I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 12. My family and friends would ask me to watch, feed, walk and play with their dog when out of town. I work from home so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available for weekend boarding, drop off anytime. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs that can play with your fur baby. I have a crate for your fur baby if needed.
About: My house can be a bit of a zoo, with 3 dogs, 2 rabbits, 2 birds, and a tortoise, but it is much more peaceful than it sounds. All caged animals (rabbits, birds, and tortoise) are in their own room that dogs are not allowed in, so no need to worry about any unsavory interactions. That leave the rest of our home the dog zone. We have a large house so no one will feel cramped and a huge backyard for all the fun your pets seeks. I am comfortable with any breed (and any species of animal really) and will follow any instructions left for me to the letter. I am very attentive and will provide updates multiple times a day so you’ll never be left wondering how your baby is doing. I am currently working full time, however I work second shift, so I work 2-10pm. Occasionally I am able to leave work around 8 or 9 o clock as well. I could care for pets first thing in the morning, before I head to work, and after my shift. I you were comfortable with it as well, my husband could always check on your pet after he gets off work (around 5) My husband and I have a huge fully fenced backyard. Our neighborhood is pretty quiet and very walkable as well if you prefer your pet be taken for walks.
“Donna did a great job for us while we were out of town. She provided great care for our dog and house while sitting for us. Our dog immediately warmed up to Donna and accepted her as part of her pack. Donna conducted timely walks with our dog and provided daily feedback on what was happening.”
“This was the first time we’ve ever left our dogs and our house to somebody we didn’t know, so of course we had our apprehensions, and Cayla went above and beyond for us. We had a family member cancel on us only 4 days before vacation, and Cayla was able to accommodate us and our dogs with only 3 days notice, after we exhausted all of our other resources. She was very communicative during her stay, updated us with pictures, and even fixed the bathroom vanity handle that I forgot to put a screw back in before vacation. We came home to very well cared for dogs, and a house that was cleaner than it was before we left. We are beyond satisfied with her services, and we would love to have her back in the future!”
About: I have lived on a farm with horses, chickens, ducks, goats cows you name it I’ve taken care of it. I have about 10+ years of experience taking care of animals.

I’m currently working part-time, enrolled in online high school, but also have flexible hours as well! I’m very open when it comes to flexibility! When going to the client’s home I make sure that everything is as normal as the animals are used to by keeping the same routine rhythm set times you name it I’ll do it.

“This was a last minute booking. We had to leave for NJ when my father died and Kelly stepped up for us. She did a wonderful job taking care of our three dogs. One has diabetes and needs insulin shots twice a day and is also blind. Kelly had no problems with the shots or with bonding with our babies. She kept us updated, which was wonderful. Kelly even did some unexpected cleaning during her down time, which was unexpected, but so appreciated. I would not hesitate to recommend Kelly and would definitely use her again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Archer Lodge is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $81 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Lodge 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 Lodge 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 Lodge 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.
