About: Growing up, my family has always had pets, everything from dogs and cats to geckos and tortoises. I have always loved animals, and providing attentive and reliable care for them. I am also a certified Therapy Dog Handler and volunteer to provide those services around town, as well as volunteer with the local Humane Society. With over 25 years of experience in pet sitting, dog boarding, and pet rescue, you can feel confident that your pet’s needs are in good hands. My schedule is flexible as I mostly work from home, so I can cater to your pet’s needs for drop in visits and dog walking. I am comfortable with whatever animal care is needed, including feeding, walking, litter, medications, and providing lots of play, cuddles, and pets! Please let me know what you need during drop in visits and I will be sure to accommodate with attention to detail.
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: 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.
About: Animal lover, nature enthusiast, and walk lover with 5+ years of trusted pet care experience. I enjoy providing pets with attentive care, engaging walks, outdoor enrichment, playtime, and companionship. Caring for animals fits naturally into my lifestyle because I genuinely love movement, fresh air, and creating positive experiences for pets. In addition to helping friends with pet care over the years, I’m actively involved in caring for my boyfriend’s dog, giving me consistent, hands-on experience with daily walks, routines, exercise, and personalized care. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care, walks, check-ins, and quality time with pets throughout the week. I enjoy an active, outdoorsy lifestyle, so dog walks and companionship fit seamlessly into my routine. I prefer providing care in clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. My care includes feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and attentive care based on each pet’s needs. I enjoy an active, outdoorsy lifestyle, so walks and enrichment are a natural part of how I care for dogs. I’m dependable, respectful of clients’ homes, and committed to keeping owners updated while they’re away.
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!
“Alexys is so sharp!! She was really attentive to the special needs of our older babies. She is great with communication. Kept us informed consistently while we were gone. I felt very at ease this trip. I knew my girls were in good hands!!! I will definitely rebook her again!!”
“This was our first time using Rover after our senior pug wasn’t doing well getting boarded at a kennel anymore. Stephanie was so kind and caring towards my 2 senior pugs. She communicated almost daily sending pictures to let us know they were doing ok. We felt very at ease leaving them for 2 weeks in Stephanie’s hands. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have had animals my whole life that I have cared for, have had plenty family and friends rely on me to take care of their fur babies, and have worked as a Vet tech for a total of 1.5 years. I work from home so I am typically always available to provide care. I also go to the gym 5 days a week which dogs are allowed at my gym, I bring my dogs there every time. I also bring my dogs to the dog park every Sunday. I live in a 2 story townhouse. I have a friendly pitbull and hound mix that are dog friendly. I also have a 2 year old cat that loves dogs, very friendly, and loves to cuddle up to my pup all the time. I am a very clean person so I keep my house tidied up and I will do the same with my client's home. I would vacuum, clean up any messes, pick up poop and scoop the litter box.
About: I have an extensive background with all types of pets, even owning 15 types of big and small animals growing up myself. I’ve watched numerous breeds of dogs and cats for neighbors, family, and friends and I am dedicated to treating each pet with individuality tailored care. I have a flexible schedule as a part time barista and college student, and the earlier my notice is the more I can do for your furry friends. I make it my priority to check on my own furry friends as much as possible. Health is a top priority, but cuddles are always added if the pet permits them.
About: I have lived with animals my whole life; from chickens, cats, emus, dogs, etc. I can accommodate special needs and will always treat your animals as my own - with love and respect! I am tolerant of behavioral issues, shy animals, and animals with disorders or disabilities. I’ve been taught to take care and provide for animals my whole life. I’ve grown up with a wide variety of dog breeds, from Pit-Bulls, Beagles, Huskies, Shih Tzus, Rat Tarriers, Dachshunds, etc. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I am available most of the time, and keep my calendar detailed so I can share with you what days I’m available months in advance! I spend most of my time in Alachua, Gainesville, & Branford but can accommodate longer distances with longer stays. Most weekends I am free, and I can easily do drop-in visits nearby! I care for each animal based on the owners needs and requests. I appreciate having a heads up on your pets typical behaviors and habits, and any “rules” you may like them to follow.
About: Well-cared for pets can truly make for a person's best friend. As a former pet store manager, lifelong pet owner, and person who cares, I've had the opportunity to work with critters of all backgrounds and ages. Lots of experience with senior animals across a range of challenges. I work out of the house most days from 7am-5pm, but my wife is home most days during the week with the exception of Thursday and Friday. It's important for a pet owner to feel comfortable and confident in the person trusted with their pets safety and well being. As such, especially when in someone else's home, the best practice is to listen! Owners know their pet better than anyone, so it's important not to assume that we as caregivers always know what's best. Within our home, we have a large yard with diverse terrain and are off a series on low-traffic streets. Animals that get along will generally have run of the interior and when applicable to owner preferences, access to exterior. For those who have animals with a pre-disposition towards escape, we also offer a complimentary air tag tracker. This way you can rest assured your pet can be located in the case of an emergency.
About: I offer personalized, reliable care for pets in the comfort of your home.🫶🏼 I do this by following each pet’s regular routine—feeding, walking, playtime, and administering any needed medication. Keep their environment clean, give them plenty of affection and attention, and monitor their health and behavior. Communicate regularly to provide updates and peace of mind, ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you’re away!🫡 I have 10+ years of pet care experience and I have 2 babies of my own, one of which I’ve had since I was a teenager!🥰 I have an open calendar. I’m married and do not work. I go to school online but it will not affect any of your scheduling needs! I care for my pets by giving them daily love, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I feed them nutritious meals, provide fresh water, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and playtime. I keep them clean, groomed, and watch for any changes in their health or behavior. Most importantly, I spend quality time with them to ensure they feel happy, loved, and secure every day.
About: I am a dog mom myself of a (spoiled rotten) German Shepherd named Lyla. She’s taught me so many valuable lessons that helped me care for others animals as well. I have knowledge about breeds and their specific needs. I will go above and beyond for your four legged child! I have pet care routine daily with my dog at home! I also assist my sister with care for her brand new 8 week old kitten. I always make sure my dog is happy and comfortable with her surroundings. The same goes for others pets! (Of course with your consent) I will always take your dog on fun trips to the pet store, bake yummy homemade treats fit to their needs and allergies, etc. I will always make sure that your dog/cat is comfortable with their surroundings and get plenty of love while their favorite humans are away!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arno
We used Sam for a 10 day trip. We have two cats (ex-feral but now indoor cats), and one dog. Sam also was our 'house sitter'. I can't say enough about her. I am extremely Type-A about my fur babies to the point I get really anxious before I leave and during the time I'm gone. This time I finally went on vacation and after a day or two of getting a constant flow of photos and updates from Sam on how things were going, I actually stopped worrying about what was happening at home. Not only could she handle anything that came up with our house (its highly technical) but my dog was totally at ease with her and my feral cats who do not come out for anyone - one ended sleeping on the bed with her and the other (who is a tougher sell) even came out to be part of the clan. Whenever I texted Sam she responded immediately and she texted several times each day and sent a ton of photos (which I loved). I would highly recommend Sam and plan to use her often in the future. I came home to three pets who were well cared for and my house was even immaculate. She is compassionate with animals, smart and totally reliable. I am so thankful for finding her.
Alexys is so sharp!! She was really attentive to the special needs of our older babies. She is great with communication. Kept us informed consistently while we were gone. I felt very at ease this trip. I knew my girls were in good hands!!! I will definitely rebook her again!!
Samantha was a wonderful caretaker for our dogs! One of them was recovering from surgery and Samantha went the extra mile to make sure she was comfortable and safe during recovery. She left our home spotless and sent regular photos of my dogs while we were out of town. I 100% would hire her again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Arno is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $78 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
