“Summer provided excellent communication, flexibility, and was very easy to work with! She was absolutely wonderful with my months-old puppy and was patient while we tried a few different crating/xpen arrangements (that were apparently not escape-proof!). She even lugged a HUGE package in off our porch for us, which was so kind and above and beyond! I highly recommend Summer!”
“Misty is reliable, kind, attentive, and quite frankly, an animal whisperer when it comes to taking pics of my German girls (that says enough alone about how hard it is to get their pic). When Misty cares for my girls, it's like I know they're going to get pampered while I'm away. She brushes them, walks them and of course loves on them and gives them their favorite treats. She gives both of them their meds daily and doesn't mind that our dogs eat three different foods at a meal. She has even worked me into her schedule while she has had other check ins to do. I can't recommend her enough!!! We are so appreciative of you, Misty, thank you ♥️”
“This is the second time we have had Tara take care of our 2 dogs. We were able to leave town and not worry about them. Tara does a great job and is quick to respond to any doggie problems. So thankful to have her! Ron and Linda Spoor”
“Ryan is a breath of fresh air after having several poor pet sitter experiences. We are very thankful to have found her, as we are completely at ease during our trips out of town. She is thoughtful, prompt, and thorough. We love her and so do Bonnie and Panda!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a kid. Recently I have started dog sitting for family friends and decided to join on here to offer my services. I’m currently working full time from 7am-3:30pm in office 5 days a week M-F. Within my work hours, I’m not available to do visits. Outside of these hours, any dog I care for will have my undivided time and attention. I take care of the pet I’m watching over by taking them on walks, play with them, and making sure they are well fed. I like to make sure they are well accounted for and treat them as my own.
About: Hello! My name is Katie and I love animals of all sizes! I have grown up around dogs my entire life so I know how important human interaction is for them throughout the day. I currently own an amazing 10 year old yellow lab mix named Sophie. She is my world! I have had her since she was 6 months old. This means that I fully understand the level of trust it takes to have a complete stranger take care of your precious baby. I will do my very best to protect your dog while also making sure they have a good time exploring the world around them on our daily walks. Every dog deserves love and attention throughout the day and I will do my best to provide it! I work in the leasing office of an apartment complex out in Fenton. My schedule is Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. My weekends are typically free! Whenever I leave your house/apartment, I can crate your dog to ensure that they don’t hurt themselves or get into anything while I’m away. If they don’t need to be put into a crate, I’ll make sure that I pick up and put away things that could potentially be harmful to them!
About: I used to pet-sit. Worked at a day-care a while ago. I've worked and interacted with all types of dogs. I enjoy what I do. I actually get really excited when working with dogs. I know they're a lot to handle sometimes but I feel like they're great fun to work with and they always make me feel better. My favorite types of dogs include Boxers, Miniature Schnauzers, Miniature Pinschers. I like all dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am really into playing fetch with dogs. I also don't mind playing with rope toys. They might tear my arms off but hey! It builds character! I'm very easy-going and I feel like with dogs you have to have a great sense of humor and enjoy the trade in order to work with them. I hope you consider me for some of your services. I look forward to chatting with you over the phone, internet, or in person! Also, I have a sweet little Mitten cat (her name is Mittens). She's a blue tortoise cat with these little white Mitten paws. My father has a black Maltese poodle named Beau... The sweetest dog in the world. I used to live with him and we were the best of friends. We still are. But we just don't see each other as much. That's who you see me with in my photos. I have pretty much open availability. I am comfortable doing overnight visits and morning/afternoon/evening walks. I'm currently in the process of trying to build clientele so I'm more flexible now than I might be in the future. But my long-term goal is to make this a full time 8 hour day. The 8-hour schedule block will entirely depend upon demand though. Whether it's broken up into different times of the day with a break in between or a full 8 hours non-stop, entirely depends upon when clients need availability. The number one most important thing about pet care is communication though. Between the owner and me. The sooner we know things, the better. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients' homes because I believe most pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. Staying in their home helps keep their routine consistent, reduces stress, and allows me to focus entirely on giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. Whenever possible, I love to schedule a meet-and-greet before the booking begins. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, for your pet to become comfortable with me, and for me to learn about their personality, routines, favorite activities, quirks, medications, and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. I firmly believe that in pet care, overcommunicating is always better than undercommunicating. I'd much rather ask one extra question than make an assumption, and you can expect prompt responses, regular photo and video updates, and complete transparency throughout your time away. While I would be comfortable offering boarding in the future, I currently choose not to because I share my home with a beloved cat. My decision isn't out of concern for her behavior—it's simply because I don't want to bring unfamiliar dogs into her space. By focusing exclusively on house sitting, I can give your pets individualized care in the environment where they feel safest and most at ease, while ensuring every animal in my care is comfortable, secure, and happy.
About: I've grown up with many different types of dogs. I learned at a young age the importance of walks, exercise, how to love and care for dogs of all ages and sizes. I have dog-sat for multiple families in the past, sometimes up to a week, and end up creating life-long bonds with each 4-legged friend! I currently work remotely, making my own schedule apart from an in-person part-time job that is about 14 hours a week. My availability: Mondays all day, Tuesdays after 5, Wednesdays after 1, Thursdays after 5, Fridays after 1, Saturdays all day, Sundays between 12 and 4. (Starting in June I will be available pretty much all day everyday!) I have two cats and rent, so care would need to be at your home, which I am comfortable with. I am trustworthy and dependable and will have eyes on your furry friend at all times!
“Hayle was gracious enough to take my almost last minute 3 day booking when my friend (who usually checks in on my boy) wound up having to go out of town for the second half of my trip. We had enough time for a quick meet n greet and got things squared away before I left. I feel like I didn't give enough info about my boy and probably forgot things for her when she came here. In spite of that, she did a fantastic job and my boy was taken care of while I was gone. Thanks so much!”
About: I own 5 cats of my own they are my pride and joy my cats are my everything and I understand people needing so find someone good to take care of them. I also have 3 dogs 2 chihuahuas and 1 aussie i’m also open to caring for reptiles and such since i’ve had literally every animal. I also am good with puppies or sr dogs I am currently working part time mon, wed, friday and saturday I also have school 2 days a week on tuesdays and thursdays I am always available all day on sunday and school ends at 5 so I can always drop in after school! I make sure dogs go out when needed and probably more times just in case and the dogs just love it outside. As well as making sure dogs are fed at the right time. I always make sure my cats are fed and litter boxes are cleaned.
About: I have years of dog care experience and currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand dogs’ needs and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special routines. I love giving dogs attention, exercise, and plenty of cuddles, making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own two dogs. I’m used to making time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m flexible with my schedule and happy to work around each pet’s individual routine, ensuring they receive consistent, reliable care and plenty of love while you’re away. In my home, pets get lots of love, attention, and a safe space to relax. I keep up with their feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines and make sure pets feel comfortable in their own environment. Whether it’s walks, litter box cleaning, or cuddle time, I treat every pet like my own.
“Having Linda drop in on my kitties everyday for 2 1/2 weeks has taken all the stress out of leaving them. Linda has been a wonderful pet sitter and their new best friend! Communication was excellent and I will definitely book her again.”
About: I am a traveler who wants to spend weeks home with your pet!! I have owned dogs of all ages and know how to speak the language! Woof! I am extremely available when scheduled and will let you know otherwise. I make my own schedule so I am highly available when I am not traveling! Very flexible. Always honest about my availability and what I am able to provide. I am very good at reading what a dog needs and not lazy about it. Walk at 5 am? On it. Weird feeding times? Not a problem.

Katy was a great dog sitter - it helped that I have known her for many years. She came for a meet and greet ahead of time for instructions etc. And Katy is a vet tech - what better person to leave with your dog for your dog's care- I was completely comfortable and confident about her abilities. Very friendly and professional.
Tara was such a blessing on this last trip. Communication was great as both dogs had issues. Tara has experience with pet medications that really is reassuring. Both dogs were great when we got home and very happy! I'm so glad she lives in our area too. We will be using Tara again when we go out of town. Thank-you Tara!
Absolute professionalism and top-notch care for our pets from Eric and Morgan! This lovely couple boarded our dog Rosie and made home visits to care for our cat and guinea pigs during our spring break vacation. They were very responsive to our messages and took care to learn all the instructions for feeding and care of our animals. We received photos and updates throughout the week. Morgan even watered my plant babies! We highly recommend Eric and Morgan and will definitely book them again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Arnold is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,523 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Arnold. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arnold. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
