About: I’ve cared for my aunt’s dog while she was on military leave and we were the best of friends! I’m familiar with walking, cleaning up after, and keeping animals fed. I also love to have fun, so your pet will not be bored! I can give lots of attention and care for any pet I’m with. I’m currently a college student, and I'd love to spend my spare time taking care of any lovely pets throughout the week! My availability is open for Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoons/evenings! When visiting your home, I can ensure the comfort and happiness of your pet in a familiar environment and meet all their needs. When walking, I will always keep a close eye on pets and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while we are out.
“Chloe is a fantastic sitter and takes such good care of my girls. She follows my instructions to a t and even left me some eggs from her chickens! 💕 I’d recommend Chloe to anyone in need of a great pet sitter!”
“Ana is amazing! Three drop in visits later and we always get some candid photos of the babies and the cats like her so much they play and sit on her. We will have her back to help us with the long days no doubt!”
“Our extended say was carefree because Nicole cared for our fur babies very well. All the details of the days routine was noted and she followed directions very professionally. Nicole does very well with our babies and care for them as if they were her own. She gives us peace of mind when we are away.”
“Mindy was wonderful with Ollie and went above and beyond with visits and taking care of our sweet kitty while we were away. I had peace of mind in knowing that he was in good hands and well cared for by Mindy. The pictures that she sent show that he had fun and felt comforted during their time together each day. Thank you Mindy!”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifelong love for animals, my hands-on experience, and my ability to care for pets of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and temperaments! 🐾❤️ I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have always had a special place in my heart for both cats and dogs. Since I was 14, I’ve gained experience with pet sitting, dog walking, and working at doggy daycare facilities. During my time at doggy daycares, I’ve cared for everything from large Great Danes and energetic Pit Bull mixes to tiny pups with big personalities! These experiences have taught me how to understand different behaviors, recognize body language, and provide safe, attentive care. I’m also very comfortable caring for multiple animals at once! Whether you have several dogs, multiple cats, or a household with both, I’m happy to help. My doggy daycare experience has taught me how to manage different personalities, energy levels, and routines while making sure every animal receives the individual attention, patience, and love they deserve. I also have a special love for cats, especially those who may be shy, fearful, independent, or a little temperamental! Growing up, I’ve helped feral cats gradually become comfortable living indoors as loving house cats. Through those experiences, I’ve learned that earning an animal’s trust takes time, consistency, kindness, and patience. If your kitty is a little feisty, nervous around strangers, or prefers their personal space, that’s perfectly okay! I understand how to recognize signs of stress, respect boundaries, and allow them to become comfortable with me at their own pace. The same goes for dogs who may be anxious, energetic, or need a little extra reassurance. I believe what truly makes me different is that I don’t expect every animal to behave the same way. Every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, and I take the time to understand what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m experienced with feeding, dog walking, playtime, litter box cleaning and maintenance, maintaining routines, and providing companionship. I also offer house-sitting services, so your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment while I make sure your home is respected, tidy, and well cared for. Above all, I’m reliable, dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. Whether you have one cuddly kitty, a house full of energetic pups, or a mix of furry personalities, I’ll do my very best to make sure everyone feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Your pets are family, and I promise to treat them with the same kindness, patience, and love that I give my own! 🐶🐱💕 I’m currently attending school online, which gives me flexibility with my schedule and allows me to accommodate different pet care needs! I’m always happy to discuss availability and find a schedule that works best for you and your furry family members! 💖 When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I always do my best to follow their usual schedule, whether that includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, or plenty of cuddles! I’m also very respectful of my clients’ homes and will make sure everything stays clean, tidy, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your beloved pets and your home. Communication is extremely important to me! I’ll happily provide regular updates, pictures, and messages throughout my visits so you can see how your furry family members are doing. Whether they’re enjoying a walk, playing with their favorite toys, or relaxing at home, I want you to feel reassured knowing they’re happy and receiving plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible, knowing your pets and home are in caring, reliable, and dependable hands! 🐶🐱❤️
“Hannah was available at short notice, and did a great job with my two pups - caring for them as if they were her own. She is a warm, friendly, and responsible person. I will use her again!”
“Brook has been fantastic. She is friendly and accomodating. She takes good care of my 130lbs dog, walking him and playing while I am gone. She takes pictures to update you, and follows directions from the routine we have. When I come home I am able to tell that my dog has been cared for!”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and sizes, from playful puppies to sweet senior pets who need extra TLC. Over the years, I’ve provided daily walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and lots of love! I understand how important it is to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable when their families are away. I’m experienced with: • Puppies and potty training routines • Senior pets who need gentle care or slower walks • Administering medications (oral or topical) • High-energy dogs needing extra exercise Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because of my flexible schedule. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, making it easy to provide consistent care. I also offer overnight stays and extended visits, ensuring your pets have company, comfort, and care around the clock while you’re away. Whether it’s a midday walk, evening cuddle time, or a full weekend stay, I can adapt to your pet’s schedule so they feel safe and loved in their own home. I provide a safe and loving environment where your pet can feel right at home. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play and potty breaks, and your pet will also enjoy the company of my friendly, well-socialized dog King. For pets who need their own space, I can easily provide separation during meals or downtime and am comfortable with crates if that’s part of their routine. I always supervise playtime, keep a clean, pet-friendly home, and follow your pet’s normal schedule to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Tara took such good care of our Cat! Right from the start she communicated well with us and provided expert care for our older cat who needs medication twice daily. We could see in the photos he enjoyed her visits and playtime. He was calm and relaxed when we returned home. Tara went above beyond!”
About: I've grown up surrounded by pets whether they have been my own or someone else's. In fact I can't remember a single segment of my life where I didn't have a family pet to care for and look after. Each animal comes with their own unique needs and interests and I'm willing to meet them where they're at and cater to all of their quirks. I've dealt with puppies and senior dogs so I don't mind cleaning up a few messes. I've had dogs of my own who were calm rambunctious or somewhere in between so I truly do love em all. While I do have more experience with dogs, I also have a precious cat of my own and am more than comfortable looking after your sweet (or not so sweet, like mine) cat. I am a college student and I do work, but I am available anytime Monday-Thursday and after 5pm on Weekends. Please reach out if you are interested in any overnight stays so we can discuss availability. I am comfortable catering to your pets needs. I am comfortable with any necessary meal preparation, walks throughout the neighborhood and potty breaks, and crating the pet if needed. I am also okay with administering medication if needed.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Arden Lake is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arden Lake
Hannah was amazing! This was my first time using rover and having someone that my dog wasn’t familiar with check in on her. Hannah was very professional and took the time on the first meet and greet to make sure everything was good to go. Will definitely be booking again in the future!
Jace took amazing care of my cat Sadie when I had to make an unexpected trip out of town. Jace made sure that Sadie had plenty of food, water, treats, pets and playtime while I was away. Very grateful for her service- I highly recommend her and would definitely book her again!
Trace did a great job coordinating with us on times and was attentive to the instructions we left for our cats. He sent us daily updates and seemed to be able to give attention to our cats with very different personalities in the way they needed. Really appreciate Trace being a cat owner so he understands how to adapt to cats personalities! Would definitely use again.
Susan took amazing care of my pets while I was gone on an extended trip. Her care made the difference between being able to relax and enjoy myself or spending my vacation wracked with worry about my cats. Susan gets my absolute highest recommendation. I will be booking her again. Wonderful pet sitter who had my cats out and purring!
TJ was great with my two fur babies - we have 2 younger cats, 1 is disabled. She came to our home beforehand to see everything and get to know the cats. She was also very professional before we even met her in person and was willing to answer all of my questions/provide references. For the pet sitting, she was always on time, stayed the full time (usually a few minutes longer!) and let me know when my disabled cat received medication so I didn't have to stress when we were out of town. She followed all instructions and was thorough with her own questionnaire, and made sure to understand completely what was needed. She was also willing to assist with our disabled cat's special needs (sometimes he has accidents, and she was willing to help him if needed). He's also scared of unknown people, and can be a grouch, but TJ knew how to give him his space and still get everything done. We are incredibly appreciative of her help, thank you TJ for being a great sitter!!
We’re happy to have Nicole return for the second time this weekend! She is extremely punctual, trustworthy, and communicative. We received a ton of great photos and we enjoyed looking at all of them! She would update or question if something felt abnormal with the animals to ensure nothing was wrong which was appreciated! We were able to step away for the weekend in peace knowing we left our two cats in her care. We will feel comfortable leaving again knowing we can count on someone like Nicole! We can’t wait to have her back in the future. Thank you Nicole!
Chiamaka did a great job with taking care of Challa! During our meet and greet, she did not actually get a chance to meet him as my cat can be scared of strangers at first but looks like Challa started to warm up to her nicely! I especially appreciate her flexibility to add on additional visits last minute. When I came back, the cat area was clean and litter box in good shape so she did exactly what I requested. She also communicates in a timely manner, which is very important. I'll definitely book her again for my Challa
We can’t thank you enough for taking such wonderful care of our dog. It was clear that our dog was happy, comfortable, and truly well cared for during the entire stay. Your kindness and attention gave our family complete peace of mind, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you did. Without a doubt, you will be our first choice the next time we need someone to care for our dog. Thank you again for everything!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Arden Lake is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $22 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 6,851 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Arden Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arden Lake. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
