“Jiselle was wonderful! We have two big crazy pups that can be a lot and she was great with them. She was on time and sent daily updates with pictures of what they did that day. It was such a relief to know our dogs were being well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely reach out to Jiselle in the future!”
“Shirley is wonderful with our dog who doesn't like to be left anywhere without us! She enjoyed Shirley's company, got in some walking (her passion) and was content when we got home. Shirley pays attention to details and was very thoughtful. Thanks so much!!”
“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our 3 dogs while we were out of town for the weekend. They can be high maintenance at feeding times, but seemed to have done well.”
“Alyssa did a great job watching our pup while we were out of town for a few days. She sent us pictures everyday. She checked up on our pup as agreed, we’ll definitely ask her to watch our Little Lailah in the future.”
“Tristan was great. He arrived on time and was very polite. He took very good care of my baby and provided constant updates. I will definitely contact Tristan for any future needs.”
“Penny kept our 15-week-old lab puppy and cat at our house for four days while we were out of town. Our pup is definitely in the puppy phase and is a real challenge to keep out of trouble. Penny did a great job in maintaining the consistency of his schedule and continued his training while we were away. I'm sure this was over the top from the normal sitting arrangements. She keeps a daily diary of what she and our pets did so she does an outstanding job of communicating. This was our first experience with having someone stay in our home and it worked out great. Penny is reliable, great with our animals and a great house guest. We will definitely rebook when the need arises and would highly recommend her to watch your pets.”
“Mariah was absolutely wonderful! She loved our pups as if they were her own. Loved the daily picture updates. She took wonderful care them and our home. Highly, highly recommend her!! Will definitely rebook.”
“Jennifer and Jason were amazing! They were the perfect duo. Our boxer/pitt mix can be intimidating to some people but they came and instantly made our girl feel safe. I will absolutely book with them again. They were also incredibly friendly and kept us updated on her. I would recommend them to anyone!”
“Serenity took wonderful care of our animals just as requested. She came a day before to meet them, was on time, and our dog took to her immediately. Would definitely rebook with her in the future is needed!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and can’t remember a time when pets weren’t part of my family! ❤️ I currently have three very spoiled four-legged children of my own, so I completely understand how important it is to know your babies are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, fish, and pets of all ages and personalities. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies—including puppy training and reinforcing good habits—to senior pets who may need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. 🐾 Whether your pet needs walks and playtime, snuggles and companionship, or simply a dependable person to love on them while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own! My two-legged children are grown and independent, which means I have plenty of flexibility to care for your four-legged ones! 🐾 My schedule allows me to accommodate daytime visits, walks, evenings, weekends, and overnight care when needed. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine because I know consistency helps them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. Safety, trust, and lots of love are always my priorities! 🐾 I care for every pet the same way I care for my own—with plenty of attention, affection, patience, and respect for their individual needs and routines. I’m very mindful of things like secure doors, leashes, feeding instructions, medications, and making sure pets are never put in an unsafe situation. I also know that every animal is different. Some want to play and be your best friend immediately, while others need a little time and space to feel comfortable. I’ll always follow your pet’s lead and do everything I can to create a calm, happy, and healthy environment while you’re away. And of course, you can expect plenty of updates and pictures so you know your babies are safe and being well loved! ❤️
“We have had Mark sit at our house twice now and couldn’t be more happy. We have a high energy, large, 1 year old golden retriever and Mark is excellent with him! He leaves our house as clean as we left it and it’s like he wasn’t even here when we get home (the only clue is our dog is more well behaved once we get home). He sends us pictures of our pup and is a trustworthy person to have at our home.”
About: I provide quality service that meets your specific needs. Including washing your dishes, taking your trash out, and brining in your mail! I am very understanding. I will always try to work around your schedule on short notice. I accept same day cancellations! Currently a part time pharmacy technician and college student! Currently in school pursuing a radiology technologist degree. But will always make time for your pets!! I will always try my best to work around YOUR schedule 💕 I have a fenced yard and have a friendly dog of my own. I am always happy to stay over at a client’s house if needed.
“Amazing sitter! Communication is always quick and gave updates and photos of our pets and spent quality time with them! She truly cares about your pets and giving them the best care possible while you are gone! Would recommend again and again!”
About: I’m very detail-oriented and take pride in keeping things clean, organized, and exactly how you like them. I’m honest, reliable, and always follow through on what I say I’ll do. You can trust me to take great care of your home and stay on top of everything while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available for evening check-ins, and walks during the week. My weekends are fully open, giving me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets and make sure they get the care, attention, and love they need. With 22 years of experience, I bring a strong attention to detail and a love for keeping things organized and running smoothly. I’m very routine-oriented, so I make sure your home and your pets stay on their normal schedule. You can feel confident knowing everything will be cared for just the way you like while you’re away.
“Danielle stayed with our boys for a week over 4th of July. It was during the heat wave and our AC was having a hard time keeping up. She ensured us that the animals were cool and comfortable throughout her stay!”
“Tori was an excellent house guest & supervisor of our dog, Beckham! She provided great care to Beckham & left our home near & tidy - tidier than how we left it. We’d welcome her back anytime!”

Hannah was amazing with both of our fur babies. She sent updates, was responsive, very good at communicating, did everything I ask and I felt completely safe and comfortable having her at our home watching our babies! I can’t wait to have her again! Great job, Hannah!❤️
Great with my dogs, cats, and lizards!! Yes, lizards! Alicia sent photos and videos every day several times a day while we took our kids to Chicago for the long weekend. We booked house sitting, and boy, she really did house sit! She even vacuumed, did dishes, and took out the trash for us. Really appreciate her and WILL be booking again.
Mariah was a true gift. We booked her at the last minute for an almost 2-week home watch with 2 dogs and never used a service like this previously, so we were a bit hesitant. That stated Mariah was so far above anything we expected is an understatement. The constant communication she provided via the Rover app was excellent along with lovely pictures of our fur babies. The house, plants, dogs, etc... were in impeccable shape, down to dog towel laundry washed and folded, sheets on the bed she used washed and folded before she left and clean sheets placed on the bed before we got home. The girls clearly loved her being here and the care and attention she gave them; in fact, I think the greeting we received when we got home was wonderful, but I think they wanted her to stay on longer. Bottom line, anyone looking for a house and pet sitter would be foolish not to use her. We entrusted her with our most precious of things, our 2 girls and Mariah cared and loved them like they were her own. Hands down we would absolutely use her any time the need arises without having a second thought. Thank You, Mariah, for being who you are and doing what you do. Your Amazing!!!!
Caylen did a great job taking care of Kanye while we were away. She was responsive, kept us updated, followed his feeding and medication routine, and most importantly, we came home to a happy and well cared for dog. We really appreciated having someone dependable looking after him while we were traveling. Thank you again!!
I have 2 shy cats, and she did great with them! I get picky about who I leave my cats with, so I was nervous at first, but MacLaren was great and my girls liked her too. Followed all instructions, communicated quickly, and sent updates. I will definitely be reaching out to her again when I need a sitter.
Terry did a fantastic job caring for our two large dogs while we were away. He was dependable, friendly, professional, and clearly cared about our pets’ well-being. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Communication was great, and everything was handled exactly as promised. We highly recommend Terry to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter.
Sheridan was above and beyond my expectations! I knew she was going to do an amazing job as soon as we did the meet-and-greet. She gave my dog and cat so much love and sent me super cute photos. She updated me on every single situation, and I really appreciated her efforts in taking care of everything. I will definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a responsible and loving pet sitter. On top of the best care she provided to my pets, she even did an amazing job taking care of the house. Our house looks cleaner than when we left it! Words cannot describe how amazing Sheridan is!
Michelle house sit for my 2 dogs and 2 cats for several nights. She took such great care of my pets, from giving them plenty of outside playtime, to giving them lots of human companionship, to following all my care instructions perfectly and communicating with me daily. You can tell she’s very experienced with pet care! Thanks Michelle for sharing all the photos and watching over my fur babies!

FAQs for House Sitting - Arden Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Arden Lake on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,428 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arden Lake. 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 Arden Lake 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 Arden Lake 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 Arden Lake 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 Arden Lake. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
