“Jessica went above and beyond taking care of our senior dog over a holiday weekend! She made sure that she had food (even opening our automatic dispenser to be sure), topped up her water, played a ton of fetch with her, and even wiped out her ears when they were bothering her. The whole time, she kept us up to date of what was going on, was on time, and was very respectful of our property. Will definitely use her services again. Thank you so much!”
“Becky does a wonderful job. She is very professional, flexible, dependable and uniquely knowledgeable. It was a pleasure working with her and upon our return, our cats strolled around as if we never left the house. We highly recommend Becky to anyone looking for this service!”

On this visit, Peyton was taking care of four cats and one very rambunctious dog. She handled it like a champ and my dog and my cats still look for her after her visit.

About: I worked in an Animal Hospital doing volunteer work for 2 years. I worked at a local Doggie Daycare and Pet Resort. I am very organized and compassionate. I have a very strong work ethic and a clean background. I also was trained on pet grooming and medication administration when I worked at the pet resort. I also do not mind taking care of cats as well if they are in the home as I am a cat mom. My schedule is generally flexible. I walk every morning routinely and most evenings. I am typically off on weekends. My hours are flexible and with proper notice we can coordinate. Like they are my family. They should be treated with love and respect just like a human would be treated. Pets are just another member of the family and should be treated as such.
“Chris was fantastic! He was flexible and courteous and showed a genuine care for my dog. He also brought in some packages that arrived. I will definitely ask him next time I’m in need. My Charlie dog loves having him stop by!”
“Elizabeth is an amazing Rover! She cared for our senior cat and provided compassionate care. She was very responsible and followed all instructions perfectly. She sent us daily photos and updates. We came home to a very happy cat and everything was left neat and orderly. We appreciate you Elizabeth! Thank you so much! 🐈”
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!
About: My goal is to make sure your fur babies feel like they’re in loving hands . I’ve been around dogs and cats most of my childhood well into adulthood and I can honestly say I truly love interacting with and caring for them. I currently work , but my schedule is pretty flexible and why not fill it with doing something I can enjoy doing? Loving for and caring on fur babies. I would follow whatever structure you currently have with your pet , it seems that usually is the most efficient . Again your fur babies would be in the greatest care with me.
“Bianca and Nicholas were always on time, sent updates and pics leaving us knowing our Layla was well taken care of. We would have them take care of her again in a heartbeat.”
“Natyah was great! Very communicative and paid attention to all of the details. We felt very safe leaving our cats in her care. She was very professional and we will definitely book with her again!”
About: Your Ideal Rover Sitter: Dependable, Trustworthy, and Animal-Loving! Hello, pet parents! I'm here to offer you peace of mind when life demands your attention away from your beloved fur family. Why choose me? Simply put, I embody dependability and trustworthiness. Rain or shine, I guarantee punctuality and readiness to ensure your pet's needs are met with enthusiasm and professionalism. With 8 years of dedicated experience in animal care, my passion for animals is not just a hobby but a way of life. I've been fortunate enough to work with a wide array of temperaments and breeds, gaining invaluable experience with challenges such as food aggression, dog aggression, high-prey drive, and both dog-averse and cat-adverse behaviors. My extensive volunteer work with local rescues and shelters has equipped me with deep insights into dog etiquette and behavior, ensuring that your pet is in knowledgeable hands. I'm not just a sitter; I'm a fellow pet lover who enjoys the company of animals in all shapes and sizes. I'm excited at the prospect of exploring local parks and forest trails with your fur babies, offering them the adventure and exercise they crave. My services include drop-ins and house-sitting, tailored to keep your pet's routine uninterrupted. Whether it's administering oral medication, catering to senior dogs or those with special needs, or ensuring your pet gets their daily dose of exercise, I'm equipped to provide a safe, secure, and loving environment. I pay meticulous attention to safety, from double leashing high-anxiety or flight-risk dogs to ensuring all exits are securely closed before and after outdoor activities. Living in a non-smoking household with a fenced yard, I can accommodate dogs of all sizes, offering them the freedom and security they deserve. My home is a haven for pets, where they're allowed on furniture and given frequent potty breaks, ensuring their comfort and happiness. Choose me as your Rover sitter, and let's embark on this journey together. Your pet will not only receive the care they need but will also experience enriching adventures that brighten their day. Let's make every moment count for your furry friend! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my routine, thanks to my flexible full-time job. During the weekdays, I can easily adjust my schedule to ensure pets in my care enjoy quick, refreshing breaks, maintaining their comfort and happiness. Come the weekend, my availability expands significantly. I'm fully dedicated on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, allowing for extended adventures, whether it's a leisurely park stroll or an exhilarating hike. This balance ensures that every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve, fitting perfectly within my daily and weekly schedule. In both my home and a client's, I prioritize creating a safe and trustworthy environment, leveraging my extensive experience in dog rescue and rehabilitation. For dogs with high anxiety or those considered flight risks, I employ double leashing to ensure their safety at all times. My meticulous approach extends to making sure all gates and doors are securely closed before any pet is released from their crate, and I always ensure a leash is securely fastened before we venture outside. This careful, experienced-based approach ensures that every pet under my care enjoys a secure, comfortable, and happy stay, whether they're with me or I'm with them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arkendale
We’ve used Paula multiple times now, and we honestly wouldn’t think of looking for anyone else. She has become someone we completely trust with our dogs, and that kind of peace of mind is priceless when we’re away. Paula is incredibly hardworking, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. She takes the time to make sure she understands every detail of their care and never hesitates to double-check something or ask questions. We really appreciate that about her—it shows how seriously she takes what she does and how important it is to her to do an excellent job. Most importantly, we know our dogs are in wonderful hands with Paula. We never have to worry about whether they’re getting the attention, care, and love they deserve. Knowing that they are being so well looked after allows us to relax and enjoy our time away. Paula has earned our trust time and time again, and we feel very lucky to have found her. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets as if they were her own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 5,863 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Arkendale. 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 Arkendale. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
