“We hate to tell you how awesome she is out of fear of popularity making it hard to book her. But she is amazing. Our dogs love her. She is so fun and kind. Incredibly respectful of our house. And we have had others in the past. Savannah is our favorite.”
“Caitlin did a wonderful job with our two doodle dogs, Ridley and Poe. We were gone for several weeks and really needed someone that could be present a majority of the time. We really appreciated her providing the dogs that comfort and attention. She also sent daily dog and house updates and photos which we really liked! It was very nice to come back home to happy, healthy dogs and a clean house. We highly recommend her services.”
“Samantha made sure our puppy girls were well taken care of and spoiled. We scheduled at home boarding and Samantha left our home very clean. I would schedule Samantha again!!!!”
“Isiah was great. He has a wonderful knowledge of dogs. He brings his own training toys and works with them on walks. He sent lots of photos which I love. The house was clean and nice when we returned home. He is a must hire. He was very prompt at returning text.”
“Kailyn communicated well and arrived and departed as agreed to. She left the house in the same condition it was when we left and washed her bedding and cleaned the dog bowls. Our dogs were content upon our return. We appreciated her professionalism!”
“Unbelievably wonderful to work with, would recommend him to anyone, was very attentive to our fifteen and a half year old dog did a great job, giving him his medications and taking him on a walk.In addition, took excellent care of the house plants and my various fish.”
“I cannot say enough, good things about Dianna! She helped me out when my original pet sitter canceled a week before. In the 14 years of my dog’s life, I have never left her with anyone but family. She kept me updated and spoiled my baby as I would. She is a godsend and I will use her anytime. I need one to watch over my sweet senior baby!”
“Will was fantastic with our Golden Retriever, Moose! He kept us updated throughout the stay with photos, videos, and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Moose was happy, well cared for, and clearly thriving the entire time. Will was communicative, reliable, and took great care of both our dog and our home. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him!”
“Sharlene was awesome! She took care of our puppy Comet and was available under very short notice. She took him on walks and he was pretty happy when we came back ?”
“Beth is the best pet sitter! We’ve been on a two week vacation and Beth gives daily updates and has been helping with some housesitting as well - like watering our lawn. She truly is such a reliable and kind human. Wouldn’t trust anyone else with our dog! Highly recommend!”
About: Arianna and I are a young, professional couple and have a huge love for animals, especially dogs! We have 4 of dogs of our own and share custody of them with a family friend. Our dogs would NOT be with us during the sit. We are transitioning to a new home and thought this would be a great way to save money for moving but also to help someone in need as well. As fur Moms, we love all animals and would treat yours with the same attention and care as we do with our own. That same respect would, of course, extend to respecting your home as we would our own home. Arianna also was once a veterinary technician and has great insight on how to take care of animals beyond what the average person may or may not be aware of. She’s also had cats of her own is familiar with how to tend to them as well. So, both of those facts are great added bonuses. Working remotely helps out a lot in this area. With my being home all day for work and Arianna currently looking for office work in the Behavioral Health field, that still allows her to assist me whenever necessary. Together, we’ve made it work! We make sure to have meet and greets with all clients (virtual and/or in person) to ensure all safety measures, dietary and medical questions are asked by both us and the pet parents before accepting a sit.
About: Hi, Im Ian (: I am dedicated to giving your pets the best care in the valley— in their (your) home! Arrangements may be arranged for one, in-home boarding case at a time! We've always been the go-to for friends and family's fur babies, and now we're bringing that same heartfelt attention to Phoenix families like yours. I specialize in overnight care but provide drop-ins, walks, and other comforts to your fuzzy fam. Moving, or unsure of a long road trip with Roscoe? Give me a call! I also can provide unlimited mileage car/air transport for snowbirds and movers. I treat every pet as part of our own family. Ready for tailored care in the Phoenix metro? We can't wait to meet your crew! 🦊🐾 I’m passionate about personalized pet care in The Valley. If you’re satisfied, I’ll work for you to build an ongoing relationship after we’ve connected! I’ve just left the airline industry and am home or available to be home at almost all times! My schedule is open & being prompt and available for pet owners is paramount. At our home, we have a secure, locked, and walled yard. We have three kiddos of our own— two Boston terriers and one Shiba Inu who absolutely LOVE meeting a friend!
“Courtney was wonderful! She sent updates, loved on my boy, kept my home clean, and even washed the linens! I would/will keep her contact handy for future sitting needs. Felt at such ease leaving my Levi with her 🩵”
About: I am the go-to sitter for all my friends and families pet sitting needs, or when they need an extra pair of hands for a fur baby emergency. I have administered medications. I know my way around a dietary routine and love when fur babies have their own preferences 🥰. I have fostered animals of all ages, and personalities. I have cared for cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and even fish most of my life. . When I am not volunteering as a docent or for our local community garden I have an open schedule this season to be apart of the best fur babies lives. I have experience with long term overnight pet care when pet owners travel or need to be out of town for work for extended periods of time. The longest I have cared for pets in their own homes, overnight has been for a month. I am flexible in services provided according to what pets and their people's needs for walks, activities, and feeding schedules are.
“Vanessa was absolutely wonderful! She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs and our pups immediately felt comfortable with her at our meet and greet. Vanessa was great with our cats as well, letting them take the lead in warming up to her. Vanessa is extremely responsive and sends updates. She took great care of our pets - we could tell the pets got a ton of attention and exercise! We would 100% ask her to pet sit for us again!”
About: My mom was a veterinarian, so I grew up with pets. Not only do I have a deep love for animals, like my mom, but I also have true experience caring for them. I’m free Friday-Sunday and occasionally have free days during the week. I currently work part-time and attend ASU part-time, so I’m not available for anything last minute. I always care for pets in their home the way they would be cared for by their owner to avoid causing them any stress or anxiety.
About: I have been taking care of various pets through Wag for over 3 years now and have had over 150 reviews with my various experiences! I am working from home so I am always available for any pet that is in need. With boarding I am always home so your pet will never be alone. I take care of all pets that come into my home or have exposure to like they are my own. I have a fenced in home and pets are allowed wherever they please.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 459 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arlington. 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 Arlington 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 Arlington 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 Arlington 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.
