“Emma did a wonderful job with our senior dog, Bella! Bella requires medication administration and special feedings. Emma went above and beyond with Bella. She even came to do a meet ‘n greet before we officially booked. She communicated throughout the day and at key times when we normally gave medication or fed Bella so that our minds were at ease. She was a the absolute best. If you can, BOOK EMMA!”
“Olivia was great! She took excellent care of our pets and was very communicative throughout our trip. She was accommodating of their individual needs, and we came home to happy pets and a clean house. We'd definitely book with her again.”
“Lindsey made me feel super at ease as a first time Rover user. I needed someone to house sit as well as pet sit and she made sure everything and everyone was well taken care of! When we arrived home the house was clean and the pets were happy! Highly recommend.”
“Cassie was flexible and easy to communicate with, and our dogs took to her immediately when she came over for a meet and greet. She followed our care instructions, and we came home to happy dogs and a clean house. Would totally book again and would recommend her to others!”
“Patricia was an excellent dog sitter. She was conscientious and loving with my dogs. She kept in consistent communication with me. She left my house in good order. I was very pleased.”
“Abby was excellent with our pups, sent us pictures throughout the week which always helps me so much when I am away from my dogs. We came back to a very clean house and happy dogs. Which is a plus for me. We will definitely use Abby again when we need a dog/house sitter. We were very pleased.”
“Anna was amazing! She gave our fur babies lots of attention and sent pictures while we were gone! We didn’t have to worry about a thing! We would consider our dog to be slightly needy and Anna kept him so happy that he was looking for her when we got home! We would definitely recommend using Anna to take care of your pets!”
About: My personal experience with animal care spans for essentially my entire life, starting with my parents having participated in AKC dog shows before I was born, ultimately retiring from this when I was extremely young. There have always been many animals in the house and I've participated in assisting with animal care essentially since the moment I have been physically capable of it. I've casually pet sit previously for friends and family friends to positive reception on a word of mouth basis prior to deciding to pursue doing this more consistently. I do not personally have a dog at the moment due to my status as a student meaning variable living conditions and often not with significant space. However, I do eventually plan to get a larger rescue dog when my circumstances allow. For now my personal day to day experience is with my childhood cat, who I have taken with me to college and is now 18 years old. If you happen to have senior pets with special needs, rest assured that I have plenty of experience with such things for both dogs and cats and regularly manage them with my own cat on a daily basis. I would also like to note that I am going into the healthcare field and have shared foundational courses and training in my undergraduate education with several friends who would go on to pursue veterinary medicine or conservation in their graduate tracks. There is a common base of knowledge between myself and future veterinarians and you can rest easy knowing that any medical issues or concerns will be noticed, respected, and handled appropriately. I look forward to meeting your family! I'm in a unique position where until January 2027, I am essentially completely available. Due to this unexpected free time, and upcoming tuition expenses I've felt it would be a good decision to try and make what money I can putting my skills in pet care to use over the course of this available period. I will likely continue to pet sit in 2027, since I do just enjoy it, but be aware that my availability will decrease significantly and I will be much more restricted to weekends. Due to my personal circumstances as a student, I am unable to host. I care for pets first and foremost with respect to any specific instructions provided by my client and secondly, how I would care for my own.
“Angela stepped in to house sit for us with relatively short notice and did a wonderful job with our dog and cat. In addition to taking our dog to school and back, she even gave us an extra drop in when we hit some major delays coming back! Highly recommend!!”

“Raegan is excellent! She exceeded my expectations! Very attentive to all the animals and communicates very well! Sends updates and pics throughout her stay! My fur babies loved her!”
About: I've had cats all my life, dogs most of my adult life. Have bottle fed newborns and have had many pass away after long lives. When in High School I was a dog sitter and trainer for my neighbors. I'm retired so I'd expect to fed, walk, play with them through the day. While visiting your town I will want to go to the gym and probably try some places to eat, but don't have other obligations. I'm not planning on hosting. I'm not planning on hosting.

Crystal is my favorite house sitter for my Great Dane and cat, she has also cared for my horses in the past too! She is detail oriented and follows all instructions meticulously and lets me know when they have been fed and walked each day so I don't worry at all! I also get lots of pictures of them having the best time and getting spoiled with love while I am away. Would highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking!!
Crystal was absolutely amazing! She really made our dog feel relaxed and when we came home he wasn’t stressed or anxious. She followed all instructions and sent a ton of pictures and updates which we loved! House was spotless when she left and I will definitely be rebooking with her. She’s exactly what you want when booking a sitter. 10/10 recommend!
Crystal is the total package! She’s kind, sweet, respectful, and my animals love her! She sends me photo updates and is excellent at communication. I immediately felt comfortable with her when we met and knew she would be great for my animals. She truly loves them like they’re her own. I wish she could babysit them always! I have booked with her several times, and she’s always my first choice!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Arminda is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $57 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 644 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arminda. 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 Arminda 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 Arminda 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 Arminda 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
