“Sydney was very flexible with our last minute need for a house sitter. She left the house better than when she arrived, was always available for communication, and treated our home and pets as if they were her own. We will absolutely use her again for future needs!”
“Matthew took excellent care of our dogs and home. He was reliable, communicative, thoughtful and caring. He went above and beyond to make sure we returned to happy dogs and a clean home. Would definitely rebook!”
“Caleigh was absolutely wonderful with our three animals. One of them is older and requires extra care and medication, and she handled everything with so much patience and attention. She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats pets like her own. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter!”
“Jan loves our handsome boy! She has house/pet sat for us on numerous occasions and she helps us tremendously. Our bulldog loves to be outside and belly rubs all day. She is great with him. I highly recommend.”
“Brianna was amazing!! Very thorough and asked a lot of good questions in order to get to know our dogs and their routines. Very responsive and communicative throughout the day which we appreciate! I highly recommend and will be using Brianna in the future ☺️”
“I highly recommend Abby for any of your pet sitting needs. She was very responsive and flexible. I felt very comfortable with leaving our puppy Nelson and with Abby, even though it was the first time we have left him. I will absolutely have Abby watch my dogs again in the future.”
“Amazing experience having Samira house and pet sit! My dogs loved her right away and I was able to travel knowing everything was well looked after! Samira sent regular updates and pictures. Communication was great. I could not have asked for a better experience and will hope to have Samira come again next time we need pet sitting!”
“Rachel is very good energy. She’s communicative and our Tank was well taken care of, he even calmly greeted us upon our return as opposed to his usual vocal expressions. We will definitely request her again, next time we cannot bring our fur munchkin along!”
“Aubrey was fantastic! She was very communicative, sent lots of photos, and overall just made me feel really comfortable with leaving my two boys with her. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been around animals for all of my life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I currently have a large friendly Bernedoodle of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger dogs, energetic puppies, daily walks, feeding schedules, and lots of playtime! I also have an animal science and equestrian background, which has given me years of hands-on experience caring for animals and paying close attention to their behavior and individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure owners receive plenty of updates and photos while they’re away. As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and will always communicate clearly about my availability so they receive consistent, reliable care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and household rules. I pay close attention to behavior and make sure pets are secure on walks and comfortable in their environment. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing while they’re in my care. I am also Cat and Dog CPR certified in case of emergency!
About: Hello, my name is Elizabeth I've always wanted to care for animals since I was 5yrs old. My first pet was a German shepherd/pitbull mix, he was my best friend. I'm a graduate from Ross medical education center in Huntsville,AL. I'm a certified vet assistant. I'm able to administer medication, change bandaging, and care for pets who are recovering from surgery. I have a passion for animals and making sure they're taken care of, is my number one priority. I will offer constant playtime and personal time for those that need it. I will also offer frequent potty breaks throughout the day, accompanied with water and shade. I'm not afraid of big dogs even if they're bigger than me. I love dogs of all sizes. I work at an emergency animal hospital in Greensboro. I work from 10pm to 8am Sunday-Thursday. I'm able to fit walks and home visits in between getting off work before having to clock back in later that night. Since I am a certified Vet Assistant and have extensive knowledge and experience in the vet med field, I can assure you your fur babies are safe with me.
“Simone is the BEST! I felt so comfortable leaving my 3 pets in her care. She consistently communicated with me and took amazing care of my fur babies. When I returned home I could totally tell by my cats behavior that they had been given love and attention in my absence. Serious, Simone is fabulous.”
About: What sets me apart from others is my energy & love for animals & I have 2 pups of my own! 🐾 who keep me on my toes!! I actually am inbetween jobs & self discovering & I just want to feel like I am helping people still while I figure things out & free pup therapy! Love them like my own — I have been a dog owner my whole life I know the importance of making sure they are comfortable & taken care of
“Jessica was great! She made sure everything went smoothly and my dog seemed to have a good time while I was away. Thankful for her quick response at the last minute to come stay at the house with my puppy.”
About: Ever since I was a child I have always managed to keep a pet in the house wether my parents liked it or not! I have taken care of many dogs in my life time, wether it be bathing, walking or simply feeding them. My love for animals is very prominent to me and others and will never die! I am a 3rd year college student at UNCG! During the week I am pretty busy , with maybe some room to squeeze in on Tuesday and Thursdays. But on the weekend I am all yours! Friday-Sunday. I have a nice sized backyard that my 4 year old miniature schnauzer loves. He gets along with other dogs well, he mostly likes to keep to himself unless your fur baby is up and ready for some fun!
About: Welcome to my tranquil home. Here, your dog will receive the utmost care and attention in a loving and peaceful environment. I only accept one dog or two small dogs from the same family for boarding, which allows me to provide dedicated and specialized care in my home for each furry guest. I work from home so you can be assured someone is with your dog during their entire stay. I make it a point to maximize my time with your pet, and only leave if I need to run errands or have an appointment, which is rarely more than a couple of hours. Also, since I only keep pets from the same family you will never need to worry about other dogs. When we do a meet and greet what you see is what you get. You will meet me and Walter, my super laid back Chihuahua Italian Greyhound mix. And we offer up the Humble Abode (our home) which is a great respite for anxious and senior dogs due to the calm and peaceful environment. I’ve had pets my entire life and have been offering pet care services for more than a decade. Walter has happily helped me welcome many dogs over the 7 years he’s been around. IN HOME STAYS If you have a larger pack or prefer in-home care and/or drop in visits I also offer that. I do bring my dog with me so that would have to be allowed. I also offer cleaning, organizing and plant watering services as add-ins with in-home stays. Dog walking services are also offered for those long workdays and for your young and active pups. Please reach out with any questions and we hope to meet you soon! I work from home and set my own schedule so I can accommodate most situations if given advance notice. We try to go for 1/2 mile walk each day, longer leisurely walks or hikes on the weekends and visit local parks and nature if everyone is up for it. We also can hang out on the enclosed patio which is the perfect spot to sun bathe when the weather is nice. I try my best to accommodate any schedules your dog has. I live a pretty laid back lifestyle. With just me and my pup, Walter, home life is pretty peaceful. For this reason I only take one dog at a time, unless it’s two small dogs from the same family.
“Caitlin was absolutely amazing! She kept us updated with pics of hector when we were away and was very accommodating. She has a great kind energy about her I would highly recommend her!”
About: I've had animals most of my life from puppies to pound mutts and full blooded and senior dogs. I make sure to encourage play and positive training.

I make sure to follow any rules stated by the original owner. It can range from crate training, socialization, cleaning, walking or using the client's home.

So your pet will get the upmost attention and care! *SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY*DO NOT BOOK ME IF STILL CONSIDERING OTHER CAREGIVERS*I WILL NOT BOOK WITH ANYONE WITHOUT A PROFILE PICTURE FOR MY OWN SAFETY* I am a 2026 Salem College graduate, and I pet sit full time. So I’m home often and have a very flexible schedule, I’m able to provide pets with plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day while keeping their routines as consistent as possible.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arnold
Absolute perfection! I have a feral cat that I feed outside and she took right to Jenny! Even my neighbors who see her all the time can't get anywhere near her and she jumped right up and ate for Jenny. My finicky cat inside also took to her and slept in the bed with her. And she treated my dog like royalty.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 834 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 , 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.
