“Tiffany was absolutely amazing with my two puppies! She handled them with so much patience and care, keeping me completely at ease while I was away. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent — it made me feel confident they were in great hands. Tiffany went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Lucas (Jorges son) treated our dogs to tons of snuggles and plenty of walks, he had good communication and held to our rather strict rules. When we came home our house exactly as we had left it. Lucas was very conscientious. (With the oversight of his parents). Our dogs were happy. Do not hesitate to reach out to Jorge.”

“Jade did a wonderful job caring for Kitty. She respected our home and was super communicative while we were away. She sent us daily updates along with pictures of Kitty, which provided me with a much needed peace of mind. I will definitely book with Jade again.”


About: I’ve mostly taken care of small creatures on my lifetime. I used to own parakeets and currently I own a leopard gecko whom I absolutely adore! I always wanted to own cats and/or dogs growing up but I’ve never been allowed to do that because my mom is irrationally afraid of both. I used to own a kitten but we had to give it away because my mom thought she could handle it but she was just too scared of it. I’ve taken care of other people’s cats and dogs before and I get along well with all animals! Since I’m unemployed, I am free anytime other than Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday I have classes from 10 am to 12 pm and Sundays I have church from 9 am to 11 am. I unfortunately do not CURRENTLY have anything that is specifically catered to dogs or cats in my house or yard, as I do not own either at the moment. I can certainly do my absolute best to cater to your animal’s needs, however!
“Melissa was fantastic with my dog, Bentley. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly attentive to his needs. I really appreciated the consistent updates and photos - it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands while I was away. She also treated my home with respect, which didn’t go unnoticed. Overall, Melissa made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

“I would give Deborah 10 stars if I could! From our initial meet & greet, I knew she would treat both our senior pup and our home with love and care. I loved the daily updates and pictures that were sent, along with any additional communication about our pup or home that needed clarification. Our home was left spotless and just the way it was when we left. Our pup was cared for with love. I couldn't be happier with Deborah's stay here and I will look forward to having her over again for our future travels.”

“Chinara did wonderful job pet sitting for us in our home. She updated us and sent pictures daily. She even watered our plants and did a few extra jobs around the house. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog! I would highly recommend Chinara.”

“Matisa was an excellent dog sitter for our long weekend away. We got regular updates with pictures and she was an amazing communicator! She also left the house very clean. Would definitely book her again!”

About: I have been pet sitting since 2020! I have experience providing care for dogs, cats, and bunnies, but that doesn’t stop by from taking care of any other kinds of animals! I’m currently a student at Germanna Community College, looking for some outdoor time with your wonderful pets!! I am available for most of the day!! I typically pet sit at other people’s houses, ensuring that they get the best quality care possible!! Depending on if the owner’s have a yard or not, I will give them my whole time there to give your pets all the exercise they need! If you don’t have a yard, I can walk them on a leash!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, having raised 6 dogs over the past 23 years. Over the last several years, I’ve also had plenty of experience dog sitting for friends, family, and others. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I genuinely enjoy getting them outside, keeping them active, and giving them plenty of attention. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care while making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Whether your pup needs a long walk to burn off some energy or some company while you’re at work I’m happy to help. I work Monday - Friday from 0730-1645. I am available anytime outside of that and am always up to do something. Spending time with dogs beats sitting around every time! Your pet’s safety and trust are my top priorities. I’ll treat your dog like my own, paying close attention to their needs, surroundings, and behavior while making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for.
“Sophia was an amazing Rover! She kept us updated the whole time and seriously spoiled Roxie while we were gone! Is was so nice knowing our dog was in good hands the whole time we were gone:)”

“Toni was a lifesaver! We have an extremely shy/nervous chihuahua that barks and runs from pretty much everyone. Toni was patient and worked with us to build up a familiarity with our skittish little girl. It took some time, but we were successfully able to go on vacation without having the constant worry of our little girl being comfortable in the back of our minds. We highly recommend working with Toni, especially for a challenging pup.”

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Ana! I’m a proud dog mom to a special needs German Shepherd who has idiopathic epilepsy. Because excitement and overstimulation can trigger seizures, he’s kept separate from other dogs for his safety. His condition has taught me the importance of patience, reading canine body language, and providing calm, attentive care! A little about me!😊 I’ve worked with exotic animals for over four years and have experience caring for a wide variety of species, including rabbits, snakes, fish, turtles, dogs and birds. During that time, I’ve bred rabbits and snakes and have cared for them through every stage of life from newborns to healthy adults. I’ve also taken in surrendered animals from owners who could no longer care for them, giving those animals a safe place while helping them get the care they need. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m truly passionate about providing them with the love, patience, and care they deserve. Whether they’re furry, feathered, or scaled, I treat every animal as if they were my own. ❤️🐾 🏡 A Comfortable, Dog Friendly Home. Your pup will have everything they need during their stay from extra leashes, bowls, food, and treats to lots of room for play and rest. I always make sure each dog feels right at home. 🏠 House Sitting & Drop Ins. I’ll give your pets the same love and attention I give my own feeding, playtime, potty breaks, companionship and enjoyment!! 🦮 Dog walks. I bring my own leash and supplies to keep things simple, clean, and stress free!! 🍲 Homemade Meals with Love. I also enjoy preparing fresh, home cooked dog meals made with real ingredients like chicken, turkey, beef, or fish, plus healthy veggies such as carrots, sweet potato, peas, cucumbers, and pumpkin. Let me know if I can share these delicious warm meals with your pup!! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home often, so I have plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, and cuddles throughout the day I create a safe, calm, and loving environment by supervising all pets closely, keeping spaces clean and secure, and following each owner’s care instructions to make sure every pet feels comfortable and protected.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arkendale
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was absolutely wonderful with my puppy and stayed with her throughout the entire day. She was very attentive, caring, and made sure my puppy was comfortable and well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my puppy was in such good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur baby. I will absolutely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️

Abby was a life saver for us. We usually use family to help with our pets so using someone not family brought me a level of anxiety i wasn’t ready for. First impression of Abby was professional and prompt. The animals Immediately loved her and she asked all the right questions to ease this fur mom’s anxiety. Having her able to stay at our home was added peace of mind. We came home to happy pets and a clean home. I’m so thankful to have found Abby.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,352 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arkendale. 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 Arkendale 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 Arkendale 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 Arkendale 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
