Monica is the best pet sitter we've ever had (and house sitter). So thoughtful, good with our animals (two cats, one dog), and easy to communicate with. We will definitely go with Monica again!

Lidia did an amazing job house sitting and caring for my 7 month old kitten while I was away. She was communicative throughout the stay, providing regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind. She was also flexible, respectful of my home, and clearly attentive to my kitten’s needs. I would absolutely hire Lidia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. She was a pleasure to work with!

Liz was great. She cared for our four-year-old Labrador in our home for an over night stay. She was conscious of our dog’s unique needs and personality. We received updates with photos of their walks in the snow. I’d highly recommend her. We will most definitely use her again for our dog and housesitting needs.

Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Averyl was absolutely wonderful with our fur baby, Sugar! She went above and beyond by coming all the way to Northstar in the snow, so we could enjoy a full day on the slopes worry-free. Her communication throughout the day was excellent, and the pupdates she sent were so thoughtful and reassuring. We especially appreciated how she kept Sugar active with plenty of walks around the area. It’s clear that Averyl genuinely loves animals, and her warm, friendly personality shines through. Knowing Sugar was in such capable and caring hands allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our ski day. We’re so grateful for Averyl’s care and flexibility, and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter!

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I raised a Beagle (Billy) from puppyhood and proudly attended dog training classes with him (Billy and I both learned alot !) I've also had the joy of rescuing Summer, a gorgeous ex-show dog Golden Retriever, who was by my side for 13 years. After that was Bammer, an Alaskan Husky Lab mix. He was my adventure buddy, and always kept me on my toes! Besides my own dogs, I've had lots of experience caring for my friends' dogs while they are travelling, so have been able to adapt to all kinds of personalities, temperaments and levels of energy. The silver lining is that I currently have no pets of my own, which means your dog will get all the love, attention, belly rubs, walks, playtime, and couch cuddles they can handle. Whether your pup is an energetic explorer, a pro napper, or somewhere in between, they'll be treated like part of the familly. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and my goal is simple: to make sure they're happy, safe, loved, and maybe just a little spoiled while you're away. 🐾 I work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing for plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I also love getting outside for neighborhood walks, so your pup will get lots of fresh air, exercise, and cuddles. I have a fully fenced yard for safe play and potty breaks, and dogs are welcome inside the home as part of the family. I'll follow your pet's routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while in my care.

Emmersyn is a total pro at pet care. She has so much experience and also just loves doing it. She sent so many great updates and photos. It’s so nice not having to worry about our senior cat when we go away. We went to teach her how to give our cat subcutaneous fluids but she already knew how! You’d be lucky to have her!

Scott was great with our new 14 week old puppy. Our puppy was pumped to see him each day and that is probably the best endorsement. Scott was consistently on time (even early!) and made it easy.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats but as a renter, I have not committed to one of my own. I have many years of experience loving and taking care of animals of all ages. I have experience with puppies and taking them to training classes. Each dog has it's own personality and quirks and I am happy to get to know them and their needs. I am happy to learn your expectations and meet them to provide your animal with the best care possible. I love going on hikes and would love to bring your pup along for the company! I am a student and work for a family near by. I am mostly studying at home or have time to let the dogs out as needed. I am happy to listen and abide by all of your pet's needs to keep them safe and loved. I believe that exercise is crucial so I will get them out as often as possible for adventures.

About: I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats and truly love any time I get to spend around furry friends. Whether it’s going on walks, drop-in visits, or just giving your pet some extra attention and care while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I have very flexible availability and do my best to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m also happy to provide references or reviews from past pet owners upon request. I have a pretty flexible schedule and have a lot of time to take care of your pets even if it’s at the last minute. I am used to many different pets and let them approach me. I can walk them, give them the care they need and put them back in their crate.

Aaron is wonderful! He is very sweet and caring to our 14 year old lab, and took our rambunctious young boxer on long hikes. He kept us updated throughout the 'tour of duty' and left the house absolutely spotless. We would definitely ask him to care for our boys again.

We used Zac a second time and were really happy with him house sitting our dogs again. The dogs were super happy when we got back, he stayed on top of their meds, and the house looks great. We feel good trusting him with both Mac and Cody, the latter of whom is a bit tricky because he’s reactive with some other dogs. We highly recommend Zac for dog house sitting!

About: I grew up in Alaska with a house full of energetic huskies. I have experience with puppies as well as old dogs who need extra attention. I love to run/ get outside with dogs! It's always more fun with a little company. I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I work in a ski shop Wed-Sun, but have plenty of time to take breaks and check on the pup. I own an SUV with plenty of room for the dog to hang out in if they come with me to work. I typically work 4-7 hours per day so the dog wouldn't be left alone too long if I kept them at home. My service would require care in the clients home because my lease is strictly no pets. I would be happy to care for your pet in the comfort of its' own home! I would take it for at least 2 walk/runs per day, feed it according to your schedule, and of course give it plenty of love and attention while you're gone.

About: Hi, I’m Julia! I’m 44 years old and originally from France, and I’d love to be your pet’s new favorite sitter 🐾 I have many years of experience caring for animals, especially dogs. My own dog lived to almost 17 years old, so I’m very familiar with everything from playful pups to senior care, including medications, special diets, and extra patience when needed. I genuinely love being outdoors and going on walks, and I always make sure each pet gets the exercise, attention, and routine they’re used to—whether that’s regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, or just lots of cuddles and companionship. I live right by the national forest, which is perfect for safe, enriching walks in nature. In addition to dogs, I also have experience with cats, fish, and pet rats, so I’m happy to care for a variety of pets. Since I work mostly from home, I’m able to provide plenty of supervision and attention throughout the day—your pet will never feel alone. I also offer in-home visits, where I can care for your pets in their own environment and help with small tasks like watering plants and keeping things in order while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel relaxed and loved while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to meet you and your pet! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work mostly from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around the pets in my care, making sure they get regular walks, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy starting and ending my day with walks, especially since I live right by the national forest, so it’s easy to give dogs fresh air and exercise in a calm, natural environment. I’m also home most of the time, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care. For in-home visits, I’m able to adjust my schedule to match each pet’s routine and needs, whether that’s morning, midday, or evening visits. I always aim to keep pets on their usual schedule so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I always care for pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they are in my home or their own. In my home, pets get a calm, relaxed environment with lots of attention throughout the day since I work mostly from home. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any specific care instructions. Living near the national forest also allows me to provide peaceful, enriching walks in nature for dogs who enjoy being outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I make sure to respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself. I stick closely to your instructions so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I’m attentive to details like meals, medications, exercise, and companionship, and I also make sure your home is kept tidy. I’m happy to help with small additional tasks like watering plants, bringing in mail, and keeping things in order while you’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel secure and cared for, and to give owners peace of mind knowing everything is in good hands.

Sage was a wonderful house sitter companion for our dog Buddha. Lively, energetic and caring, she pampered our pup while we were away for a day. Always sending photos of their adventures together, and keeping up communication with questions about his care. When we returned our home was clean with obvious extra effort involved. We highly recommend Sage and hope to see her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Armstrong

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Armstrong on Rover is $81.03 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of June 2026, there are 740 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Armstrong. 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 Armstrong 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 Armstrong 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 Armstrong 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Armstrong. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
