About: I have had pets my whole life up! I'm a full time mom with 3 kiddos (2 in school and 1 not in school cause shes a baby!) My 1 year old will be accompanying me to any potential jobs, so if you know your pet is not good with kids please let me know. She will have as little access as possible either way, she will most likely be in her stroller. My schedule is very open. Whatever work you're needing with your animals, please reach out. I would love to help in any way that I can. Animal care in my home will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Animal care in your home will be as requested by you. I typically could not do overnight care as I've got kiddos in school and will most likely have to travel a bit to help you with your animals, but on weekends or breaks I can consider it.

Tony is an amazing! He has cared so well for our 3 heathens including a wild puppy and a needy senior. He has done so with so much kindness and grace. He stays in our home and helps our pups stay in their own routine. He cares well for our home as well and leaves it cleaner than he found it. Tony is sincerely among the best. He is definitely our go to sitter.

About: I keep water out all day so they are not thirsty. I feed my dogs once in the morning and then before bed. I take them put multiple times a day either to potty or play but they are always on the leash. I play with them inside also. I'm a big cuddler with pets if the animal will allow me haha. They are allowed on furniture bed or couch does not matter. My daughter is a big animal person too she loves both dogs and cats and will sit there and watch TV with them or even fall asleep on them haha. I have had 6 years of personal experience with animals they have not be consecutively but all together it has been 6 years. Im a stay at home mom so im pretty available aside from the random appointments. I have 3 kids that all love animals and always want to play with our own animals or help feed and water them. They want to be the ones to let them out to potty and feed them. I have a big fenced in yard for the dogs and kids to play and run in. They are allowed on furniture so we all cuddle up on the furniture. I also have some dog toys. I can offer a separate space for those dogs that want to me alone.

Kathryn is phenomenal. I have had her housesit for my 3 year old 10 pound toy poodle twice now. He suffers from separation anxiety and cannot be left alone for very long. The 2 times Kathryn has sat for me I was gone for long weekends. She stayed with him the entire time never leaving him alone. He absolutely adores her and is extremely comfortable with her. She is very loving and has no problems following the instructions I leave for her. I will only have her sit with him.

Sydney is the best! She’s so sweet and has been so easy to work with. My dog has anxiety around new people, so Sydney went out of her way to do multiple meets/ drop ins to let her get use to her before staying over night. She did everything we asked and made sure our dog was comfortable. We can’t wait to use her in the future!!

We absolutely love Holly! Grizzly can be unsure around new people, but Holly was incredibly patient and let him warm up at his own pace. She provided thorough updates with great photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Holly is reliable, caring, and truly understands how to work with dogs who need a little extra time. We will definitely be booking with her again—1000% recommend!

Nothing in your home belongs to me and unless you give me permission to use something, it’s not available to me.

About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember, and pets have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have my own dog, two cockatiel birds, and have previously owned two cats so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I also have past experience volunteering at Wayside Waifs, a large no kill animal shelter in the Kansas City area, where I volunteered for nearly 2 years. During my time there, I gained hands-on experience around dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds. That experience helped me become more patient, attentive, and confident when caring for animals who may be shy, energetic, nervous, or still learning to trust new people. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic care, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I would love to care for your pet with the same kindness, patience, and attention that I give my own. My work schedule varies week to week, but I typically work daytime shifts as a barista and I am usually available after 6 PM for pet care services. I do my best to keep my availability updated so pet parents know exactly when I am available. I’m happy to help with evening walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, and giving your pet attention and care while you’re away. I’ll always communicate clearly about my schedule and make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priority. I will follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, crate needs, and any special routines your pet is used to. I’m attentive, patient, and careful with every pet I care for. I take safety seriously during visits, walks, and playtime. While I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, a clean and comfortable space, and plenty of love, patience, and attention while you’re away.

About: I currently work at a Vet Clinic, I have had animal shelter experience since I was little because of my mom, she was an Owner/Manager for Second Chance Pet Rescue in Grove Oklahoma. 💞 For jobs I have had a year of vet care experience, working in Animal Shelters, and I always make tons of trips to go down to Grove Oklahoma to donate and volunteer. 🐾 My life runs off of being surrounded by animals. ✨ When I watch your fur-baby(s) I make sure I send daily photos and information so everything runs smoothly. 🎉 I’m currently trying to start doing Rover for Full time, 🐾pets have a special place in my heart and my heart always comes back to spending time with them. 💓 In my free time I’m watching clients dogs or I am at home with my own 3 dogs, walking, playing, training the new puppy or cleaning. How I care for my pets in my home🐶, I am walking them in the mornings & at night time. I take them to the Lake in my town to swim, hike, walk, and play. We are always doing something with the pups, I believe they deserve to see the world like we do. I also just got a new puppy so I am working on training her myself.

Erika was so amazing. Because we are paranoid parents of a rescue pitty, finding someone to take care of our baby for two weeks was a very scary thing to do. Erika reassured us that all would be well while we were gone, and sure enough, everything at home was perfect. My husband and I were able to enjoy ourselves during our travels, stress free, knowing Sheeba was taken care of and loved every day by Erika. Erika was also so wonderful with keeping in touch, communicated with us every day, sending us pictures and updates; and Sheeba seemed so happy and well taken care of; she did not even have as much anxiety when we returned home like we thought she would. Thank you so much Erika for everything; we will definitely keep you for the future!!

About: Please claim a a spot for the holidays early :) I have 2 years of dedicated pet care experience looking after a variety of breeds. I focus on creating a safe, fun, and stress-free environment for your pets while you are away. I love providing long walks, plenty of playtime, and lots of individual attention. Because I dedicate myself to pet care full-time, my schedule is completely open and flexible. I am fully available for overnight boarding, weekend stays, and daytime visits, ensuring I can perfectly match your pet's normal daily schedule. I love taking care of animals, and nothing is more important to me than making sure every single pet feels loved and safe. I have a secure fenced yard for outdoor playtime and can easily take your pet on long walks if needed. For pets who aren't well with other pets, I will make sure to reserve those days for ONLY that pet. Every animal deserves to be comfortable. I only accept pets that are friendly and comfortable around other dogs during bookings that require more than one pet. NOTE: For safety reasons, I cannot accept pets that are aggressive or lash out at people. Safety is my top priority, and I reserve the right to decline bookings if a pet is not a good fit.

I can’t say enough good things about Tiffany. She is so sweet and assuring. I was totally confident that Tiffany was a perfect match for us. This was our first experience with Rover and we hit the jackpot with choosing Tiffany! We have booked her for a 16 day vacation in a couple weeks and she will be back for that trip! Totally comfortable with her in our home and with our fur babies!

If I were to describe Makenna in one word, it would be AWESOME. She was great and very accommodating with last minute requests and changes. She came at a time when my dog was recovering from minor surgery and was very attentive to his and my other dog's needs. Communication was excellent and responsive. She sent pictures to keep me updated on my two dogs, which was greatly appreciated. She was very responsible and very thorough. Looking forward to having her come over again!

About: I've been around dogs, and animals my whole life! I grew up caring for my family's dogs, and often watch friend's pets! I currently live with a roommate who has 2 dogs - I often feed them, walk them, and play with them a lot! I love caring for animals, and making sure they feel loved. I currently work a part time job, on the days I work I’ll be gone for about 6-7 hours. But if I have enough advanced notice, I can take off a few extra days to help care for your pets if they can’t be alone for more than 6 hours. I won't be able to host your dog at my home. But I can come to yours! I am pretty flexible - I'm used to animals that will sleep in the room with you, but I can crate them during the night or when I leave if that’s what you prefer! I believe some animals need a lot of love and attention and I can give that while I am at the home

FAQs for House Sitting - Archie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 253 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Archie. 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 Archie 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 Archie 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 Archie 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Archie. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
