“If you need a pet sitter, look no further! Sam is the best, so caring and the best with our dogs. She was very patient and sent us so many updates, videos and pictures. It was so great to have a weekend away with no worrying that our dogs were getting the best care and attention. We will definitely use her again!”
“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 amazing! She handled our two large dogs wonderfully. She communicated with us and sent lots of pictures. Our older dog just started pain meds to treat an unknown pain source and she did a good job of keeping us informed of how she was doing. The dogs were happy and healthy when we returned home!!”
“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.”
“Christina cared for our four cats in our home while we were away. She is extraordinary in every regard! We look forward to welcoming her back soon. Before we left for our trip, we could clearly see that Christina was passionate in regard to her dedication to providing the best care for each of our cats. In our conversations, she was meticulous about every aspect of their care. It was obvious from Christina’s communication and the photos that she shared with us while we were away that she offered kindhearted attention to our cats, made sure their food was offered on time, kept their litterboxes tidy and kept our house exceptionally clean. When we returned home, everything was in perfect order, and the cats were calm and very contented. One of our cats is on medication and needs special attention. Christina was very willing to work with her. She administered the medication and gave her that special sense of warmth and friendliness that prompted our cat to become her friend for life! We are truly grateful. Christina is professional, gracious and conscientious in every respect. She is a very intelligent young lady. We highly recommend her and look forward to welcoming her into our home again.”
About: My family had dogs for the majority of my life, and I was often the one tasked of taking care of them. I bathed, fed, took them to the vet, and walked them. They were all elderly dogs, so they have sadly passed away. Their names were Peanut, Waddlesworth, and Snickers. I’m currently a proud cat owner (or her servant, if you ask her) of Luna. I found her under my car when she was a kitten 3 years ago and she’s been with me since. Currently working a summer temp job at the University of Florida, but that will end at the start of September. My schedule is flexible outside of classes, which are for just over an hour a day Monday thru Thursday. I can cater my caretaking skills to your needs. Whether your dog needs walks every hour or twice a day, I can do it all.
“Domenica did a great job watching our pups and gave them a lot of attention and love while we were gone. Also, we loved all the photos of the pups having fun while we were gone.”
“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.”
“Riley stayed with my dogs for boarding at my place. I came home to two happy pups. Riley was easy to communicate with, left the space tidy, and kept me updated. Would definitely book again!”
“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.”
“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 have been a pet sitter since I was 12 years old! I have experience with cats, chickens, dogs, fish, birds, reptiles, and more! Your loved ones will be in good hands I currently have a flexible work schedule so I am pretty open to whatever you and your pet (s) need! Whether its daily or weekly I treat every client’s pet as if they were my own. I want to make sure they receive all the attention and love they need and deserve
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.
“Katherine was an excellent pet sitter! She was communicative, caring, and clearly very loving with our dogs. And cats! She made sure they were well cared for and walked regularly. We felt completely comfortable having her look after them and will definitely hire her again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have had multiple dogs of my own since I was 8 years old, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and keeping up with their normal routines. Friends and family have also trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and will make sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention while in my care! I’m currently a college student taking online classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet sitting. Since my classes are online, I can easily work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ll follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and other routines. I’m very attentive and will treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know your pet is doing well!
“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!”
About: I love dogs and cats of all kinds and I will happily spend all day playing with yours! I have had dogs and cats since birth so I have experience with all steps of raising a pet. I'm well known for my belly rub and bum scratching skills and am excellent at playing fetch and just running around with your dog. My large car allows me to take dogs of all sizes on trips to the local dog park if it's not walking distance or to the vet if needed. I also love baking so don't be surprised if you come home to treats for you and your dog! I currently work full time but would be available evenings, mornings, weekends, and holidays.

I'll do whatever I can to make sure they're not missing you too much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Arno on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 451 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:
- 100% 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.
