“Benjamin is tentative, kind, and caring with Maizie. I’ve used rover in the past and it’s safe to say he goes beyond the standard of taking care of your pup.”
“Ava and our pup have formed a great bond and we appreciate that we have someone we can rely on to watch him when we go out of town. Ava always sends updates and photos and we know our pup has a great time!”
“Code and Dana were amazing! They sent pics daily of their walks and kept me updated on my picky eater. Code came early the day we left to feed and walk the dogs with me to understand what challenges they may see. We have 3 dogs so it’s not always easy to find sitters who can handle them but they made it seem easy. I really can’t recommend them enough. The house was cleaner than how I left it too!! Don’t question it-just book them!!”
“Jennifer was our first Rover experience and it was absolutely great! The communication was great, she sent pics, and the house was in the same order when we got back the next day! I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Oh, I’m not quite sure where to begin. Owen is such an incredibly sweet, caring and kind young man! We’ve used Rover several times as well as neighbors and friends and family over the years to watch our dogs (we have a 1.5 year old golden doodle, a 7-year-old mini cockapoo, and a 12 yr old miniature boxer) we decided to take a last minute vacation to go see our daughter in North Carolina, which means we were gonna be a good 6 to 7 hours away as well from our dogs, which was nerve-racking and none of our usual people were available. In fact, I couldn’t find anyone available because of the short notice in the five star review arena. I was hesitant to book Owen because the Rover rating had him only like a 2 1/2 star review. But I read the comments and he had two other five star raving reviews and then just one pretty negative rating, but my gut just kept bringing me back to him telling me to give him a chance, so I did. Well you know the saying, “Always trust your gut?” Definitely didn’t fail us with Owen! Our dogs can be pretty intimidating when someone comes up to our dorm. They barrow and sound really ferocious and then they jump all over you be a handful. Owen took right to them and they took right to him! Oh, I forgot to mention the other thing I was nervous about with booking Owen is that he is male. My boxer is not usually a fan of guys whatsoever and he’s super protective if I’m the only one around and not only did he not growl or act standoffishat all towards Owen he seemed like he had known him forever! I honestly wish I could share the photos on here of that same dog Ling with Owen and one of the several photos he sent me. He did every single thing I asked 100% correctly! Which honestly that’s shocking because I leave a full one page document single spaced typed out for people staying at our house watching the dogs and I expect people to forget or missstuff it because it is a lot! Heck my husband and teenage son that live with the dogs full-time don’t remember everything that I want done. Lol Owen didn’t miss a single thing! On top of that, I also have Ringcameras all around the exterior of my home and he played with them and loved on them and they loved on him. In fact I think they even slept with him at night! Lol we got daily check ins from Owen and anything that he noticed was concerning or had questions on he messaged us. And was always super apologetic about disturbing us on vacation. He’s probably nice to a fault Ha! He also washed his bedding in the bedhe stayed in, put our dishes away and some other things which 110,000% is not expected at all! The other thing was shocking is whenever we leave even if family is watching the dogs the dogs will rarely eat and they were so comfortable with him they ate normally! Fortunately with us, we’ve never had any bad experiences with anyone we’ve used on Rover and I would have any of them back again! That being said, there’s just such a loving kind energy that comes off of him that the dogs pick up on so he will be my first call for our next vacation. My husband and I were so impressed with him. We’ve actually thought about reaching out to Rover and seeing if that one negative review could be removed because I get everyone has different experiences, but I just don’t know how there could’ve been such an enormouschange from that review to now is, it’s just not even his character or personality which you will understand if you book him which I highly recommend you do! He should be there with the other five star people, hands-down! So Owen, thank you so very much for loving our babies while we were gone and making us feel so so very comfortable that I don’t have to stress about leaving again! You are a kind soul and I know you had asked me for any tips or suggestions or feedback I can give you for the next time that you can improve on and young man I cannot think of a single thing and that is saying a lot coming from someone like me who is a perfectionist and OCD! We can’t wait to have you over again and I know Jax,Nahla and Montana can’t wait for you to come and stay again also!”
“Lee did a great job staying with our kitty for a week. He was very communicative before and during his stay, sent pictures and updates every day, and left our house in great shape. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Lee again.”
“Cassandra was so great with Roscoe! She was very communicative about him and the home. He got along great with her and we felt safe knowing she was taking care of him. Awesome job!”
About: I took care of my family dogs and cats, my own dogs and cats, rabbits, and I've helped friends with their dog, mostly to feed and walk them too. I used to train our own puppies back in the day, but it's been awhile. I just retired from being an elementary school counselor, so I'm more available to walk and care for animals. My schedule is fairly open if I'm not on a travel trip, so I can walk dogs during the day most anytime and care for some animals when needed. We don't have furry pets, because my husband has an allergy. However, I want to be with dogs without him as much as possible. I do walk my neighbor's dog when she's not available.
“Tiffany was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! She truly went above and beyond for our 2 kitties. She took perfect care of our home while we were gone and even washed her sheets and towels before she left, she even tidied up our litter room for us!! She was very responsive through the week sending lots of photos and was available for any check in or additional task we needed from her. She really prioritized our kitties play time and they clearly had an amazing time (given the graveyard of toys all over the house🤩). She even hand made these cute little toys, created little kitty forts with blankets and hand drew these adorable paper bugs she put on the windows to make sure they were stimulated in brand new ways!!! Tiffany will have our business as long as she is doing this and she will be recommended to all our friends. VERY THANKFUL FOR TIFFANY!!!”
“Michael was fantastic! Our girl Haley loved her time with him! This was evident from the multiple text messages and photos that he sent to us. He was very easy going, prompt & followed all instructions perfectly. We will definitely ask him to care for Haley in the future. His love for animals shines through- we feel fortunate to have found him!”
“Danielle was amazing! She watched my 3 month old pup and 1 year old shepherd/chow mix and they both loved her! She sent many updates about how they were doing! I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Avery stepped up when we really needed her with only a couple of weeks notice for our honeymoon, and stayed for a full 2 weeks watching our two young goldens, including one that’s still a 8 month old puppy. She did an awesome job with them, was a great communicator, and sent tons of good pictures. Don’t know how we would have been able to enjoy our big trip without knowing they were in good hands with her. She also helped out around the house with cleaning, watering plants, pool maintenance, and even dealing with a repairman on a dryer issue that happened right as we were leaving town. She certainly went above and beyond and we couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
About: Growing up, we always had some kind of a pet, from turtles to baby chicks, puppies to kittens! We used to foster kittens as well growing up & since living on my own, I've fostered dogs and pet-sat any time we could. Love all animals & trying to make them feel happy & comfortable :) I work 7:30-2:30 or 8-3 in DC but after work & on the weekends, I'm always willing to help in any way they I can! We have a dog of our own, medium in size, who loves making new friends and two kids that adore giving love whenever they can.
About: I am an avid dog (and cat!) lover and have had experience working with other various types of animals over the course of the last 12 years! I previously was a dog trainer and have been trained to work with dog aggression and handling anxious dogs. Currently I own one dog and two cats. My dog’s name is Dzeko and he does well with a variety of animals. My three cats are named The Girl and Malenia. I love hiking and running so I can exercise your energetic pup as much as needed! If you have questions or need help with your dog’s behavior we can also discuss training. I currently work Monday through Thursday in the mornings and wrap up around noon, which leaves me with plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings for walks, drop-ins, or just spending time with your pets. My weekends are completely open as well. I intentionally keep my schedule flexible and would love to combine my free time with caring for pets. I’m also available for house sitting, so I can provide more consistent care and keep your pets company throughout the day if needed. I try to keep everything as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away! I follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions closely, and I’m very attentive to behavior changes or anything that seems off. I’m clean and respectful of your space! I’m also mindful about safety, making sure doors, gates, and any pet specific precautions are always handled properly. I also like to stay in touch and send updates/photos so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for while you’re away!

Jean is fantastic! We have recently moved and my dog can be a bit anxious and is getting used to a new environment. Charlie (My Mini-Aussie) loved Jean immediately and Jean played with her, walked her and made sure that she felt comfortable. I would highly recommend Jean!
Kayla did an amazing job dog sitting in my house for my 11 year old dog Zoey. Kayla was very friendly and Zoey loved her. Kayla cared so well for Zoey and when I got home I saw that Kayla had washed her own bed sheets!.I definitely recommend Kayla for any pet sitting job and would most definitely hire her again!
Avery stepped up when we really needed her with only a couple of weeks notice for our honeymoon, and stayed for a full 2 weeks watching our two young goldens, including one that’s still a 8 month old puppy. She did an awesome job with them, was a great communicator, and sent tons of good pictures.

Hiring Michael was our first ever experience with Rover. I was nervous about the whole thing. But I absolutely did not need to be. He was fantastic, and cared wonderfully for our two dogs and two cats while we were out of town. He really went above and beyond to send us updates and communicated well whenever our silly dogs did something naughty. Would definitely hire him again to stay with our pets.
Adelyn was amazing! We left our puppy girl at home for a week by herself. Even though I know she loved having the house to herself, she also had so much fun when Adelyn came to visit. Adelyn sent videos, pictures and notes everyday. We would 100% use Adelyn again.

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 Arnold 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 Arnold 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Arnold 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!

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 .
