“Alyssa did an absolutely incredible job watching our home, our Standard Poodle, and our Chihuahua! Taking care of two dogs with very different sizes and needs can be a lot to handle, but she balanced it perfectly. Our home was neat and tidy when we returned, and both pups were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved while we were away. We received regular updates and felt completely at ease. We cannot recommend Alyssa highly enough and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Alyssa was amazing with my anxious/reactive pit bull mix. She updated me constantly and was very flexible, even when I thought my flight home would be delayed. She stayed hours extra and made sure my dog was fed and medicated. Highly recommend!”
“Sherry is incredibly professional and very reliable. She did an amazing job watching my three dogs. The house was clean when I got home. She stayed for four days, kept my dogs in tiptop shape and even took out the garbage and did laundry.”
About: Growing up my neighbors, friends, and family saw how much I love animals and reached out to me when they needed help walking or watching their pet. I have always loved being around pets and I would love to assist in taking care of yours! I currently work part-time as a server, which allows me to have a flexible schedule. I will always prioritize your pets, just reach out with whatever you need! If you're home doesn't have a backyard, I am happy to take your pet to the park for walks and outside time! My apartment complex is pet friendly, they have a pet park and even a washing station.
About: I have a genuine passion for animals and hope to become a veterinarian in the future. I currently work with dogs, which has given me hands-on experience understanding their needs, personalities, and behaviors. I’m patient, caring, and attentive, and I enjoy building trust with every pet I care for. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different ages and energy levels, and I’m always willing to give extra attention to young, senior, or nervous pets. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for regular visits and can work around your pet’s feeding, playtime, and care needs. I’m reliable, responsible, and committed to giving each pet the attention they deserve. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet I care for. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their instructions and routines to make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure. I keep their space clean, provide fresh food and water, and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are safely secured. I’m patient and attentive with every animal and always treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own pets.
About: I've had and cared for dogs all my life. Ive raised them from playful puppies to senior dogs. I've been the main person for friends and family to call if they need someone to pet sit. I've rescued dogs who have been dumped on the side of the road and give them the love and treatment they deserve. I have recently graduated high-school and currently looking for work so I have plenty of time to care for and play with you furry companions. I am avaliable for walks, dropins or overnight stays and day of the week. I do not offer boarding or pet training services at the moment. And this will probably never change for the time being. A a a
“Linda is patient and kind. Our fur babies love when she visits with them. She brings them treats and toys and showers them with love and gifts. I never have to worry about them when I travel. Thank you Linda!!”
About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve regularly watched my friends’ dogs and recently pet sat for my mom’s client for 4 days, where I made sure their pet was safe, comfortable, fed, and well cared for. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to animals’ needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾❤️ I currently work at Amazon and I do night shifts 1am-11:50am Friday-Monday and my Off days would be Tuesday -Thursday would also be available Friday-Monday after 1pm I treat every pet like they’re my own! I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime and attention, and stick to their normal routine. I love giving pets lots of love and making sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I’ll always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure their fur baby is happy and well taken care of.
About: Animals have always been attracted to me and felt comfortable with me. I have a few months experience in a vets office and over 1 year now as a private pet sitter. I work part time at a brewery, and have plenty of availability to watch pets. I can come to your house multiple times throughout the day and even stay over night if that’s what you prefer 😊 I usually like to set up a meet & greet and take notes on each pet to have as much information about them before my stay.
About: My family is grateful to still care for our 17 year old senior dog, Ace. We have had Ace since he was 8 months old. I have the energy to handle a puppy and the patience to handle a senior dog. I also have my own cat, Sophia. I truly understand the temperaments of both animals. I’ve been trusted to care for my own pets as well as my friends. I am available throughout the week as I am dedicated to Rover full time. I have my own vehicle so that makes traveling seamless. I am available from 10am-10pm most days. I understand that each pet will have their own specific way to be cared for. A pet is absolutely individualistic and there is no one way to care for everyone’s pet. Therefore, I will follow the directions as explained in order to keep the fur baby’s routine.
“Kristie is the BEST! She watched our pup Lolo for us for our whole wedding day and we didn’t have to worry about him at all, just enjoyed our day to the max. Cannot say enough how Kristie went the extra mile for us and made our day so much more amazing for being so kind, accommodating and lovely. Thanks so much Kristie!!”
About: On top of having pets from the age of 5 and being expected to tend to their needs, I worked locally as a pet sitter in Chattanooga for a Happy Hound Pet Sitting. I am pet first aid certified Being a full time student, flexibility in my work schedule is key. I love to spend my free time outdoors and with animals so combining the two to make extra income while finishing my degree is a win-win! Plus getting to be around cute animals gives me that extra boost of serotonin when I’m especially stressed out after a hard day of classes! I have four animals in my home already and while I do have a fenced in back yard, my cats are a bit territorial if they don’t know you, though they are never aggressive. My dogs are incredibly friendly and love meeting new friends. I anticipate that if I am at a clients house I will always ensure that the pup is leashed prior to leaving the house. If in the backyard I will ensure any gates leading out are closed and no holes that could manage escape are seen
“Estefania did a great job! Abby was happy as a clam when I got home and Estefania sent pictures and videos! Abby can be a pill and Estefania had no problems with her. She's wonderful.”
About: I have 2 German Shepherd that I walk and play with all the time take them for car rides and to the dog park I also dog sit my brothers dogs when they need me I don’t work so I’m available any time to walk play and take care of your cars or dogs I can stay overnight to if needed I have 2 German shepherds I don’t have a fenced in yard but I take the on long walks to the dog park to play with them
About: I have always adored animals. I care for them like they are people and do my absolute best to make sure they are happy, healthly, and 100% comfortable. That means going the extra mile in care. For example taking an extra 20 minutes to let them run around play before being left alone until I return or the owner makes it home. I have two pets, a two year old english cocker spaniel and a seven your old cat. So I am not afraid to clean up any messes. I have watched family friends, friends, and been hired by others in my community to care for their pets. I will treat your pet like family, because they are apart of your family. I will make any accommodations you need for your pet, just let me know what you need! I currently work full time 8:30-5pm with a one hour lunch break, which means during the week days I am available after 5pm. But on weekends I am available around the clock. To ensure your pets safety I only will do things that you allow and/or feel comfortable with. If we go outside in an unfenced location, your pet will remain on his or her leash. I typically try to take pets to the park, but I always about this ask this before doing so.

We are repeat customers of Samantha’s. We couldn’t be happier, she takes great care of our animals and our home while we’re away. Having her pet sit gives us peace of mind while we’re away because we know our animals are getting everything they need plus love and attention!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Aripeka is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $75 per night.

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 Aripeka 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 Aripeka 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 Aripeka 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 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.

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.
