“Tiffany was fantastic with my pets for overnights. She sent pictures and made sure everything was taken care of. She always contacted me if she had any questions. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Deloris! She took such great care of Holly and our home, and from day one her communication made everything so easy and stress-free.”
“I recently hired Dominique as a dog sitter for the first time, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience! From the moment we met, Dominique exuded professionalism and warmth, which instantly put my mind at ease. She was incredibly attentive to my dogs’ needs and took the time to understand their personalities and quirks. I loved receiving regular updates and photos throughout her stay, which not only reassured me but also showed how much she cared for my pets. Dominique went above and beyond to ensure that my dogs were happy and comfortable, and it was clear they adored her. If you're looking for a reliable and friendly dog sitter, I highly recommend Dominique! She's truly a gem, and I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! Thank you, Dominique, for taking such great care of my furry babies!”
“Erica was fantastic with our two miniature wires hair dachshunds. She stayed at the home and kept our dogs company while we were away over the Thanksgiving week. She kept us updated through the week and took them for walks. We highly recommend her.”
“Chris took great care of Maggie and my house. Chris sent us lots of pictures and comments about Maggie. We will definitely have Chris back when we need another dog and house sitter. I'm really happy the experience was good for my dog by not leaving her in a kennel.”
About: 3+ years of caregiving experience, I provide dependable, loving care for your pets while you’re away. From daily walks to overnight stays, your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I’m an active-duty Navy service member living on base with a lifelong love of animals. Since I can’t have pets of my own right now, I enjoy pet sitting as a way to spend time with and care for animals. I grew up around a variety of pets, have reliable transportation. I am available evenings, weekends, and over nights. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, litter box or yard maintenance, and plenty of attention and affection.
“Liza was great! Super flexible and great communication. My dogs got into a scuffle (no fault of Liza’s whatsoever!) and she handled it great, communicated with me immediately and kept me up to date. My farm and dogs are not the easiest to handle and I was very happy with how Liza managed them all and was incredibly respectful of my home”
About: I have a love for animals that has driven me to seek out experiences and advice that has helped me gain an abundance of pet care knowledge, despite growing up without any furry friends. I am a young and active person, able to keep up with the most energetic of dogs. I am also quite detail-oriented, and will follow your pet care details to a T, ensuring your pet is happy, healthy, and safe in my care. I am a college student home for the summer, meaning I am able to care for your pet morning, afternoon, or evening! If I am unable to do so, I will ensure to respond to your message promptly. I will not be able to let your pet into my own home due to some of my family members having allergies. In your home, I will remain respectful of your space and follow any given care instructions perfectly to ensure a happy and healthy pet!
“Grant and Yunrui took such a good care of my anxious and high energy dog. They walked her, let her sleep with them and sent lots of updates and cute photos. Coco seemed very relaxed and happy when we came back. They followed our long list of instructions very well. I will most definitely rebook them to take care of Coco.”
“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.”

About: Greetings! I have been a pet lover for as long as I can remember, always with a soft spot for animals of all kinds. I grew up with a tiny chihuahua called Jerry, and then adopted a German shepherd named Laddie at 13 years old. After graduating college, we adopted a cocker spaniel named Mochi, who lives now at home with my mother. My neighbor next door also had several cats I’d pet sit frequently, so I am very experienced in caring for your cuddly baby. I also have experience administering medication and caring for elderly pets as well. Being away from home for an internship at a law firm, I sure do miss my fur baby, so I hope I can share that love with your baby as well! 🥰🐶🩷 pets are really man’s best friend. I will be working at my firm Mondays-Fridays 9-5, but outside of work, I am a homebody and will be home with your sweet pet! I also will be available full time on weekends to be home with your fur baby. Of course, I am very happy to accommodate your pet’s needs and routines to create a happy, safe, and relaxed environment for your pet while you are away 😊🐾 I am currently a student at Harvard Law School, in Austin for the summer for a legal internship. Aside from work hours, I am always at home, providing ample time to care for and accompany your sweet fur baby 🐶 Boarding: I live in a wonderful pet friendly community with lots of grassy fields for your pet to explore. I have a 0.5 acre fenced in backyard, perfect for your pup to run freely and play around in.
About: I have been around dogs and other pets my entire life, I am looking to get into training dogs professionally. I have walked dogs since I was 8 and have house sat for families with all kinds of animals. I am currently building my real estate business so when I am not on the phone or showing houses I am free to take care of pets and helping anyone out! I have two very high energy dogs at home and grew up with a little 10 pound dog so I understand how to take care of all types of dogs and keep a close eye on them to make sure they aren’t getting into anything or potentially getting hurt.
About: I worked in a vet clinic as a teenager. Very comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats. Can also care for other pets in household (fish,birds, rodents) I'm employed part-time and have a great deal of flexibility to adjust my hours to accommodate your pet's schedule and individual needs. I will adhere to my clients requests for their individual pets. All pets have their own personality and schedule, and being sensitive to that helps pets be less stressed when their owners are away.
“William was fantastic! He was super responsive, communicative, and immediately put us at ease during our first experience using an overnight sitter. Our dogs can be pretty standoffish with new people, but they took to him right away — which says a lot. Even our cat loved him! It was clear our pets were comfortable, well cared for, and happy while we were away. We’ll absolutely be reaching out to William again in the future”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arkendale
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Arkendale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,464 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 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.
