“Sam did a wonderful job keeping Cooper busy and giving him lots of attention. She sent me lots of pictures and gave me updates throughout the stay. I never had to ask how things were going. The house was also cleaned when she was done her stay. Highly recommend!”

“Debbie was amazing! From the meet and greet to each day she was hear was fabulous. The girls loved her from the first meeting. Debbie was prompt, gave updates and even sent pictures.”

“Chandrika was incredibly kind and attentive with our little baby, Cheese. From the very beginning, she was responsive, detailed, and organized. She even set up a meet-and-greet to make sure it was a good fit. I truly believe dogs are more perceptive than people, so I pay close attention to how Cheese reacts to others, and she immediately took to Chandrika. During the stay, Chandrika was amazing. She kept us updated with frequent messages and plenty of pictures. Cheese also has a special allergy diet with specific instructions, and Chandrika followed everything to a tee, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Even though Cheese can be shy and a bit fearful when she is away from us, which sometimes affects her willingness to walk, Chandrika still managed to take her out three times. On top of that, she went the extra mile and neatly bagged all of Cheese’s waste before finishing. All in all, it was an outstanding experience. I know it can feel nerve-wracking to choose a sitter when you love your dog so much, but with Chandrika, you can rest easy knowing your pet will receive exceptional care.”

“Christina did a wonderful job with our two dogs. She took such good care of them and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy. She sent lots of updates and pictures to let us know how everyone was doing. Christina also took very good care of our home. I’d recommend her for anyone needing a reliable, responsible, caring pet/house sitter.”

“Great sitter for my disabled dog. It is very difficult to find people willing to take on my blind toothless little poodle. Lee did and made her a part of the family. I did not have to worry at all.”

“We were very happy with the care Kat gave Harley. She kept us informed as how he was doing and sent pictures so we knew he was doing okay. We would recommend her to other potential pet parents.”


“Anna was absolutely amazing. She was communicative, really cared about what was best for the cats, and did everything she could to make sure they were as comfortable as possible. It's so great that we found a sitter here in Gainesville that we can trust to take care of our kitties properly while we're away.”

About: I have taken care of animals on my own since I was a child ranging from indoor pets of any kind you can think or to large animals on a farm. I started out pet sitting with my mother at a young age riding along and helping her. At the age of 16 I started doing it in my own I treat every pet like family by providing feeding, potty breaks, outdoor playtime, walks, medication administration, baths upon request, cuddles, and individualized care to match their unique needs and routine. Right now I am a stay at home mom who would love to share the love and care I provide for my little ones to your special pets. I am flexible and able to take on last minute bookings with the advantage of being home everyday. And can make multiple trips if needed for your pet. I am also able to stay in your home if that is what comforts your pet the most. I treat every person as if they’re my own and will give them the love care and patience they need. Strict boundaries and routine for your pet, leave me a list and it will be followed as expected. Puppy crate training and makes a mess no worries I can clean it up and bath them to have them comfortable again. You can count on me.

About: ◾️ When people ask if I'm a dog or a cat person, I say, "I'm an animal person!" I have a lifelong passion to care for nature and animals, whether cats, dogs, or other critter friends! I grew up with several pets who were part of the family, including a dog and four cats. Currently, I have a crested gecko named Savoovfy 🦎 and a mixed Jack Russell dog named Taro 🐶 , whom I adore. I'm also looking for a cat to adopt to join the crew soon! 🐈 ◾️ For many years now, I have been pet-sitting for family and friends. Last year I started pet-sitting professionally, and I have loved getting to meet so many incredible pets and spending time with them 😄 ◾️ I have had the joy of caring for a variety of pets of all ages, breeds, medication needs, and energy levels ⚡️, ranging from young to old, from chihuahuas to mastiffs to mixed dogs, from domestic shorthair cats to Maine Coons, and also including reptiles, birds, and fish. I truly look forward to every walk or jog, every drop-in, every moment with the pets. ◾️Outside of pet-sitting, I love hiking, photography, and art (often with my pup by my side! 📷🌳). Can't wait to meet your furbaby! 💕 ◾️ I am a full-time pet-sitter with flexible booking times, so I can accommodate a variety of times to best maintain your pet's/pets' routines! 🗓 ◾️ In-home pet care can work best for many pets, since they are in their most comfortable environment. I am happy to help care for your pet/pets in your home in the best way possible, depending on their needs and personality. I have fun taking dogs for short walks or for longer adventures 🌎, at a slow pace or jogging. I also always enjoy playing with dogs or cats 🎉, or just hanging out with them and checking on them if they're in a more chill mood. I walk dogs rain or shine and will dry their fur afterwards (as long as you and your pup are comfortable with the rain!) I always love getting to see multiple animals at once, and other cute critters like birds, rodents, reptiles, and fish are always welcome too! I am experienced in administering a variety of medications as well. ◾️ Boarding pets in someone else's home can be a great option as well in some cases. I am unable to offer boarding at this time since I live in a small apartment, but my dream is to board all the animals once I have a house with a backyard! 🏡
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was a teenager! I have ample experience with caring for senior dogs, giving walks, feeding, outdoor play, bathing, and nail clipping. I absolutely love all dogs, and I have experience with caring for big and small dogs alike! I am a graduate student at the University of Florida, so I have flexibility with my days to check in on your pets! I am open to visiting your home to care for your pet or bringing your pet into my own home to care for them! I do not travel much, so I largely have an open schedule. I will happily send you photos of your pets daily! I live in an apartment complex with ample courtyard space for dogs to walk and play. There is also a nearby dog park to take any dogs that I care for. I also have a lovely fenced in back porch that I often let my cat sit outside on. I am willing to visit and/or stay in your home with your animals as well! I will follow all instructions that you leave me, and I will ensure the safety of your pets while they are in my care.

About: I have take vet class all 4 years of high school, i received my CVA certification while in my senior year of high school. I also had the opportunity to do a vet internship at an animal hospital and even got hired on to work there after I finished my internship. I’ve also grew up with cats and dogs throughout my life. I am a college student looking for a small little job on the side. I do have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10-11:15am and then 2-3:15pm. So I can do during the week and during the weekends. I will care for my clients pets as needed and I will be very attentive and caring and giving the pet as much care and cuddles as needed and making them as comfortable as possible in their own home while their owners are away!
“Crystal is awesome! Being a veterinarian myself, I am pretty particular about who I choose to care for my dogs. Crystal is caring, detail-oriented, and compassionate. She had great communication with us about the booking and about how our dogs were doing and sent lots of pictures of them to keep our minds at ease while we were away. She was super understanding when our start and end dates needed to be changed due to unforeseen circumstances and I appreciated that so much. She has taken care of our dogs in our home twice now and I just booked her again for a longer trip. It is so nice to be able to relax knowing our dogs and our home are in good hands. I highly recommend Crystal to watch your fur babies!”

“Desiree was fantastic! She was professional, reliable, and communicated with us throughout our trip with frequent updates and lots of great pictures, which gave us real peace of mind. She also brought in our packages, kept our home exceptionally clean, and took wonderful care of our dogs. We came home to happy pups and a spotless house. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Desiree again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

About: I’ve spent my life around animals and have cared for dogs, cats, horses, and reptiles both personally and professionally. I have 8 years of hands-on experience as a veterinary technician and am currently a 4th-year veterinary student, with just 10 months until graduation. My experience includes general practice, urgent care, emergency medicine, shelter medicine, rescue work, and some exotic animal care. Over the years, I’ve cared for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, including senior, anxious, reactive, special-needs, and medically complicated pets. I’m comfortable administering medications, including injections when needed, and have extensive experience recognizing changes in behavior or health that may indicate something is wrong. I also have a reactive bully breed of my own, so I understand firsthand that every dog has a unique personality and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to work with each pet at their own pace. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some extra playtime, medication, or simply some company while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to provide dog walks, drop-in visits, and daytime pet sitting, including extended visits of an hour or two when your pet needs more attention. I’m also happy to make multiple visits throughout the day when needed. I do not currently offer overnight stays. As a 4th-year veterinary student, my schedule varies throughout the year, but I’m intentional about making time for pet care. I enjoy getting outside for dog walks and spending time with animals, so Rover is something I genuinely enjoy doing rather than simply fitting in when I have free time. I care for every pet according to their individual routine, personality, and needs. Before each booking, I like to learn about their normal feeding schedule, exercise routine, medications, favorite activities, and any behaviors or special considerations I should know about. During visits, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable administering medications, including injections when needed, and my veterinary background allows me to be especially attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or overall health. I’m happy to provide dog walks, drop-in visits, and extended daytime pet sitting, and I’m comfortable making multiple visits throughout the day when a pet needs more frequent care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to bearded dragons, sugar gliders, and parrots, and I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals of all kinds. 🐾 I worked at Pet Supermarket from the time I was 16 until I was 22, and I also spent a year and a half in vet tech school. Caring for animals has always been something I truly love, and I’m happiest when I’m around them! I know how much our pets mean to us because they’re family, and I treat every pet I care for just like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away—and to give you plenty of peace of mind along the way! ❤️ I currently work full time remotely so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, bathe and play to make sure your pets needs are fully taken care of while also having fun! I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so I can care for them in the way they’re most comfortable with. I’m very attentive and always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re playing, going for a walk, or relaxing at home. When caring for a pet in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while their family is away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so communication is really important to me. I’m happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can see that your fur baby is happy, safe, and being spoiled while you’re gone! 🐾❤️
About: As a veterinary technician with 13 years of hands-on clinical experience, I offer a level of care, knowledge, and attention to detail that goes far beyond typical pet sitting. I’m trained to recognize early signs of illness, administer medications, and handle pets safely and confidently in any situation—giving you true peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a lifelong dog lover and have owned breeds including Labrador Retrievers, Miniature Pinschers, Shepherds, Chihuahuas, and French Bulldogs. I also work with animals every day, caring for a wide variety of dogs, cats, farm animals, and even reptiles, which has made me comfortable with pets of all temperaments and needs. I offer flexible availability for boarding, dog walking, doggy daycare, and overnight stays. I live in a house with plenty of space, plus access to multiple large grassy areas for exercise and play. I’m also near several dog parks for added enrichment, if that’s something you’d like for your pup. Whether your pet is young, energetic, anxious, or requires special medical care, I’m fully equipped to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their needs. If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and medically knowledgeable to care for your pet, I’d love to be your go-to sitter! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a veterinary technician, I spend my days caring for animals, so transitioning into pet sitting, walking, or boarding fits seamlessly into my lifestyle. Providing attentive, hands-on care isn’t something I “add on”—it’s what I do every day. On a typical day, I plan my schedule to ensure pets in my care receive consistent potty breaks, exercise, feeding, and attention. Before and after work, I prioritize walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m able to accommodate midday visits or breaks as needed. When boarding, pets are part of my home routine, with plenty of supervision, structure, and affection throughout the day and evening. On my days off, I have even more flexibility for longer walks, dog park visits, and extended quality time. Because of my experience, I’m also comfortable incorporating medications, special feeding routines, or extra monitoring into my schedule if needed. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality to make sure they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible—whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I maintain a structured routine that includes regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, exercise, and plenty of attention and affection. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment with close supervision at all times. I’m mindful of each dog’s energy level and temperament, and I can separate pets if needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable. With my veterinary technician background, I’m also experienced in administering medications and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I respect your home and your pet’s space, while making sure they receive the same level of care, attention, and monitoring they would get from you. I also provide updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal in any setting is to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Arno on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 419 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arno. 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 Arno 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 Arno 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 Arno 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 Arno. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
