“We have a 14-year-old dog who needs to go out quite often, so finding someone reliable is really important to us. We met Abbey before booking her for a 3-night stay, and everything went smoothly from the start. She was right on time for the meet-and-greet and again when she arrived to watch our pup. During our trip, she sent a couple of photos and responded to any texts we sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. If you’re looking for someone who is easygoing and dependable, I’d absolutely recommend Abbey. I would happily hire her again.”
“Nick did a fantastic job with our 11-year old cocker spaniel. I actually think our dog was sad to see us open the door when we got back rather than Nick. He was communicative throughout the time sending pictures and notes. The house was in great shape when we got back, as was our dog.”
About: I've always loved animals and caring for animals. I grew up with a dog of my own and when she passed away a few years ago I started caring for others. I've cared for multiple friends dogs on island and love doing it! I'm comfortable with overnight stays or just popping by for a check in or walk! I work at riptide cafe Tuesday-Sunday, on those days I am avaliable from 4pm on. For overnight stays I typically have to leave by 6am, if that is okay with you it's okay with me! Monday and Tuesday I am free for whatever! I will typically take dogs on multiple walks a day! I understand each animal has its specific needs, communication between you and I about your pet and what works for them is important. I am there to care for your pet and will spend my time doing so, whether that means playing in the yard to get some energy out of a puppy, or sitting in the floor giving belly rubs to a senior dog.
“Gabriel did a wonderful job taking care of my two 3 month old puppies, Reba and Shania, while I was attending a wedding. He stayed with them while I was gone and made sure they had plenty of potty breaks since I am still housetraining. The girls can be quite the handful but he played with them and they seemed perfectly happy when I returned. I will definitely have Gabriel watch the girls again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Argyle is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Argyle
It was so wonderful having forest back to care for kitty. Once again the communication and attention to detail was superb. Everything left glistening clean and I could tell my cat had so much good attention she was very satisfied. So grateful to receive this continued support from Forest. They will definitely be my first choice for caregiving of my animals!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 590 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Argyle. 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 Argyle 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 Argyle 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 Argyle 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.
