About: I've taken care of my own pets my whole life, and others' for 8 years now. I created Jackson Pet Care to provide pets with the comfort they need and deserve when their owners are away. I know personally how scary it can be leaving your pets alone, and how heartbreaking it can be to see a pet missing their owner, so I take the honor and responsibility of caring for someone's fur baby to heart. I have experience with cats and dogs, old and young, and would love to use my experience to create a loving environment for your pet. See Jackson Pet Care on Google for reviews from my awesome customers! I am a student (graduating soon!!), so I use the gaps in my schedule to make sure your pets are well loved on and taken care of. I look after an owner's home like it's my own. I’d want to return to a clean, cared-for house and make sure you do the same! I ensure the home environment I am in remains a safe space for the pet and keep them in their regular routine to build trust and comfort.
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.
“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.”
“Mark took great care of our dogs while we were away. He has extensive experience working with dogs, which made us feel confident that they were in good hands. Everything went smoothly and the dogs seemed happy and well-cared for when we returned. We appreciate his professionalism and would consider booking with him again.”
“If I could Jake more stars I would. He sent me daily pictures of Teddy and I could see that they had a good relationship. He was there for Teddy, walking him several times a day. I came home the house was in perfect order. I have already scheduled his next stay. I am thrilled that Teddy and I found Jake.”
“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.”
“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 grown up around dogs for most of my life. My family has only owned small dogs, but that doesn’t mean I don’t adore big dogs. I’m very adaptable when it comes to animal affection. If dog loves play, I’ll give as many belly rubs and ear scratches as possible. If they’re shy, I’ll be patient and learn what their boundaries may be to give them as comfortable an experience as possible. I’m also quite a big person, so I can handle some bigger dogs if they get a little exited. I’ve cradled dogs that are about 40lbs pretty easily. I’m also not afraid of licks whatsoever. I’m at my happiest when a dog shows me love. At parties I’ve been known to spend more time with the animals than the actual people I’m arround. If you do choose me, I’ll do everything in my power to make your pets time away from you that much more bearable. Currently I’m just working with personal editing projects and DoorDash, so if you book me I’ll be able to give full attention too your pets over the summer Affection is my number one with pets. I’ll do anything just to see their tail wag. If you have very specific requirements or schedules for your furry family members, I’ll follow them to the dotted line. Every animal is different, so if you tell me anything I need to keep in mind or do, it will be a top priority.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has been caring for pets since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve helped neighbors, family members, and friends by pet sitting, dog walking, and providing loving care while they’re away. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for when you can’t be with them. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their regular routine, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to provide peace of mind for pet parents. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility to provide pets with plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. On days I work from home (which is Monday, Thursday and Friday) I’m able to be present and attentive, and on office days (Tuesdays and Wednesday's) I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive the care they need. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. I treat my mini dachshund like he is my child. I enjoy spending time with pets, whether that’s going for walks, going to the park, playing, providing cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also have a nanny cam that I check in on when I am away. I prioritize reliability, communication, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. As a mini dachshund owner, I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care while you’re away. I’ve cared for friends’ dogs in my home before and always work to make them feel comfortable by sticking to their normal routines as much as possible. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule and any specific instructions to help their pet feel safe, comfortable, and stress free. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: I have always loved dogs and I have decided that I want to be around dogs in my free time because it makes me happy! I am a soon to be retired school teacher and want to spend my time now with animals especially dogs! For the next 10 months I will be still working my teacher schedule and would like to get a head start on my next venture. I would be available for dog sitting on weekends and dog walks after 3pm during the work week and anytime over weekends. I have always had a dog growing up and very lovingly cared for my own dogs for the last 31 years. I enjoy being around all dogs. When I retire I would also like to volunteer somewhere for dogs. Again, for the next 10 months, I will still be working my teacher schedule and I will be available during the work week after 3 PM for dog walks or drop ins and during the weekend for overnights. I also would be available for some of my school breaks. I have a fenced in backyard and one dog named Lina. She is medium sized and very friendly with other dogs. I would love to love on your fur baby.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life! My neighbors, family and friends trust me to feed, walk and play with their dogs! I love caring for them! I’m a currently working part-time where I make my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! I can easily fit them into my schedule! I have a fenced in yard and plenty of room for them to run around! I grew up with a dog of my own that I care for as well!
About: In addition to common dog owner knowledge I am also equipped with exceptional K-9 to human communication skills that will help me make nervous, unsettled, shy, or anxious pets adjust to their temporary lodging. I acquired these skills during 10 years of K-9 protection handling and training education and practice along with 15 years of bodywork with a concentration in myofascial release. I can take pets on short notice for as long as necessary. Your dog(s) will not interact with other dogs while in my care, unless previously discussed. The interior of my 2500 sf home has the space and configuration to allow up to 4 dogs to be separated into their own "living" spaces. Having two of may own, I will only take two dogs as a time. I will provide exceptional care and 24/7 attention. Why I love dog sitting My entire life, personal and professional, has been with dogs afoot. I enjoy discovering their individual personalities. Meet my pets I have two Pomeranians. About my yard Fenced, however I prefer to hand walk client's pets. I am a jogger so if your pet is used to jogging each day for exercise we can make that happen. My experience administering medication I am happy to administer any necessary medications and supplements. I have been doing so for as long as I can remember, IV, IM, topical, and oral. I build my schedule around clients needs. Mine eat at 8 AM and 6 pm and get outside for fresh air and a bio bark every 4-5 hours. In a client's home, I leave absolutely no trace I have ben there. Extreme attention to detail, respect for your environment, and I follow instructions with precision. In my home, I follow the schedule I am given and keep a low and slow approach, giving them space, time, and calm/quiet emotional support to adjust. In both environments you will receive videos, pics, and updates multiple times per day.
“Tori is amazing! She showed up last minute for my fur baby in a time of desperate need. She made sure my Teddy was feeling ok with love and plenty of pets and cuddles. Can’t wait to book with her soon💕”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arden Lake
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.
Absolute best petsitter you could hire! One of our babies had a medical issue that flared up really bad while we were out of town, & Christina spent a whole evening/night with her at the doggy ER. The treatment was pretty extensive, & Christina detailed to me every step she was taking to treat our girl. She did so much more than she probably expected to do, & she did an amazing job. She made it so we didn't feel like we had to worry about whether our baby was getting the care she needed while we were away. We just returned last night, & our girl already seems like she's healing. We can't recommend Christina enough!
Neisha is fantastic! I have hired her three times this year to house sit my dog, Sadie, for several days. She walked Sadie several times a day, played ball with her, and sent adorable pictures, which helped me track how well Sadie was doing. She followed Sadie's dietary needs and attended to Sadie's special nighttime habits. Neisha is punctual and trustworthy. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and loving 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!
Shauna was amazing! She was kind, communicative, and followed all of Todd’s care instructions perfectly. She kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Arden Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Arden Lake on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,423 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:
- 94% 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.
