“Trena was able to take care of our pup over the Thanksgiving holiday and we're so grateful! She sent us photos and kept us updated on how he was doing. Thank you for your help, Trena!”
“Emily did both house sitting and dog sitting for us while we took an eight-day vacation. She took excellent car of our border collie, Sadie, walking her every day and just keeping her company. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog. I would use Emily again and I recommend her highly.”
“Mariah was a pleasure to work with! She had amazing communication, took great care of my dogs, cat and house. She sent pics, was on time and just overall an amazing sitter! We will def be using her again 😍”
“Tressa is truly amazing. We had an AWFUL experience with another (non-rover) sitter and I had true PTSD with leaving them with someone else. Tressa ensured her communication was precise, she sent multiple photos and videos daily, took my dogs on hikes and walks, and left the house spotless. There is a reason she is booked out for months!!! I cannot recommend her high enough!!!”
“Naomi was a fantastic sitter! She stayed at our house for several days and did a great job keeping our very active Vizsla entertained, sending us updates and photos too. When we got home, our pup was happy and tired, and everything in the house was neat and in order. We’d absolutely recommend her!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Bonnie. She stayed at our home and took excellent care of our senior dog while we were away. Our dog can be a little anxious and isn’t always the easiest dog to care for, but she was patient, attentive, and made sure he was comfortable the entire time. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were gone. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and treated him like her own. We came home to a happy dog and a well-cared-for house. We are so grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. We would gladly book with her again!”
“Madison did a great job watching our pups in our home. She did a good job keeping me informed how the puppies were doing! She was kind enough to stay with pups. She left my house in perfect condition. I’d highly recommend her!”
“Britney was wonderful! Very responsive and communicated (with the best photos!) throughout the time she house-sat for us. She was professional, tidy and the pups enjoyed the time with her. We're thrilled with Britney and can't wait to have her sit for us again soon!”
“We had another great experience with Jenna! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our fur babies. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for pups. We would definitely book with Jenna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Olivia was a delight to have in our home with Frank. He was well cared for and we could tell he had a good time while we were on our trip. I would recommend Olivia and will have her back again.”
About: Hi there! I’m Shaylee. I love all kinds of animals. I grew up with dogs and bunnies, and took horseback riding lessons as a kid. My family bred several litters of Golden Retrievers, so I’m familiar and comfortable with puppies. I have my own sweet pup, Birdie. She loves to swim, hike and play fetch. I often help out with friends’ pets, and would love to care for others! I’ve cared for reactive dogs in the past, and am open to any additional measures I may need to take to ensure everyone’s comfort. I’m confident in my ability to keep your pet safe and happy. I’m about to begin a grad program at MSU and will have classes Monday and Wednesday through the summer. Other than that, I’m pretty flexible! I know each animal is unique in what they need to be happy and healthy, and I follow all instructions to a T to make sure they get the care they need. I also certainly watch for concerning behavior or symptoms that may indicate illness or distress, and will always check in if I think something’s up. I’ll treat your animal like my own!
“Vanessa has been great for us and our pets. She is very knowledgeable and professional and her care and attention for all our animals has been outstanding. She keeps in communication and sends photos throughout each visit, which has been a big plus. ”
About: I've been trusted with peoples animals since I was 10 years old, and have always had a passion for caregiving. With 4 years of veterinary experience and a bachelor’s in Animal Science, I provide attentive, knowledgeable care for pets of all ages. I’m comfortable recognizing health concerns, providing individualized care, supporting senior pets, and helping shy or anxious animals feel safe and comfortable. I genuinely love getting to know your pet’s unique personality and routine. I understand that communication regarding their wellbeing is paramount during your absence so regular updates will always be provided. I have considerable experience caring for pets with chronic conditions and special needs including blindness, deafness, amputees, anxiety, allergies, IBD, IVDD, hip dysplasia, arthritis, CHF, cancer, CKD, Diabetes, and thyroid disorders. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your baby in the hands of anyone else, so it will be my mission to make your experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible. I am currently unemployed, so I have a very flexible schedule. My preferred work days would range Monday-Thursday. Weekends and holidays may be available upon request. I consider myself to be a reliable, ethical, and trustworthy caregiver. My belief is that my character is who I am when no one is watching. Therefore, every pet and/or their home that I take care of will be treated with dignity and respect. I will strictly adhere to feeding, medication, and exercise routines. And most importantly, I will love on and comfort your baby like they were my own.
“Hilton did a great job taking care of our Piper. He sent daily updates with pictures- which we loved! I arrived home to a content dog and the house was clean and in order. Would definitely recommend Hilton and will be happy to seek him out again for our dog sitting needs.”
“Alysse was great with our dog and guinea pig. She took great care of both of them and obviously spent a lot of time playing with them. She took wonderful care of our home, and I would definitely recommend her for your pet/home care!! Moe loved her right away and he's usually a little more cautious.”
“Lillian was absolutely wonderful as a pet sitter for a long weekend!! She kept my pup super active - I knew he was getting great care and lots of fun activity! She was very respectful of the home and left it very clean. She went above and beyond what I expected. Would 1000% rebook!”
“Jenna is an excellent dog sitter! She took great care of our two dogs. She sent lots of photos and is super responsive regarding communication. I will definitely book her again and I highly recommend her.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Arnold
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 438 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arnold. 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 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.
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 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!
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.

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.
