“Monica helped me with a pretty short notice request. She followed instructions and really went above and beyond. She took my dog to a park and got him a pup cup and she didn’t have to do all that. Put me at ease while out of town knowing he was living his best life with Monica! I will absolutely be using Monica again when something comes up.”
“Madeline stayed with my babies over night which I much appreciated it. She sent pictures daily of them. The 1st day with them she didn;t leave which made them feel secure. Felt like they were loved and taken care of since have 2 puppy mill moms and 3 cats which think Zoey maybe slept with her since the room she slept in Zoey has now claimed for her room.”
“Stephanie was very responsive and took really good care of Indi. She gave us daily updates and left the house clean. Would book again and recommend her to friends and family.”
“Derek was fantastic. We booked a housesitting with him on very short notice (11 hours). He was great with our 3 dogs and 4 cats and kept the house clean. Thank you SO much.”
“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter - she was quick to reply to us, even for a last-minute request, and provided us with frequent text/photo updates just how we like it. We came home to a clean apartment and a happy pup. We’d love to have her take care of our dog again!”
“Jen was outstanding with Penny. She came to meet her ahead of time to learn her habits. The stay went well, good communication and lots of pics. She is very calm and gentle. Jen stayed at my house and was the perfect guest giving Penny great attention. Highly recommend.”
“Kailyn watched our dog in our home for a long weekend and was wonderful! She provided updates and pictures. She took good care of our home while we were away. We felt completely comfortable with her and plan to have her watch our pup in the future!”
“Zach was an excellent pet sitter! He provided daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He made sure Rebel got a walk every day and took great care of all of our pets—Rebel, our dog, and Lilly and Bella, our cats. It was clear they were well cared for and comfortable while we were gone. We really appreciated his communication, reliability, and the care he showed our pets. We’d absolutely trust Zach to watch them again.”
“Toni did an excellent job house sitting and caring for our dogs! She communicated wonderfully throughout her stay and was attentive to their needs. She made sure they got plenty of walks, attention, and quality time, and it was clear that the dogs absolutely loved having her around. She also went above and beyond in caring for our home. She stripped the guest bed and put the sheets and towels in the washer, washed the dishes, and kept everything clean. Toni was wonderful to work with, and we truly appreciated the care she gave to both our dogs and our home. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be working with her again in the future!”
“Jamie is awesome! She took such great care of our dog and cat while we were away for a few days. I appreciated all of the photos and videos she sent us and I could tell our pets were so well taken care of. I will definitely be asking Jamie to watch the pets again and cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I don't see this as just pet sitting - I see it as caring for a beloved member of your family! After saying goodbye to my own dog after many wonderful years together, I realized how much I missed having a dog in my life. While I’m not quite ready for another of my own, I have plenty of love, time, and attention to give yours. Because I’m retired, I have a flexible schedule and can provide lots of companionship, walks, playtime and affection. I prefer caring for one family’s hypoallergenic dog at a time in my own home. Hi! I’m Linda, and I’d love to care for your dog like they’re part of my family. Dogs have been one of the greatest joys of my life. After recently saying goodbye to my beloved dog after many wonderful years together, I realized just how much I miss the daily companionship, wagging tails, walks, and unconditional love they bring. While I’m not quite ready to welcome another dog of my own, I’d love the opportunity to love on yours. Spending time with dogs truly feeds my soul, and it would be my privilege to provide your pup with a safe, happy, and loving home while you’re away. I’m retired from my corporate career, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to your dog. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, exploring outside, or curling up for a nap, I’ll happily tailor their stay to their personality and routine. I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else because I’ve been in your shoes. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is being cared for with the same love, patience, and kindness I gave my own dogs. A little about me: • Lifetime dog owner and lifelong dog lover • Active lifestyle—I love walking every day • Non-smoking home • Calm, peaceful environment • I prefer providing personalized, one-on-one care so your dog gets my full attention • Happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, exercise, medication, and sleep routines I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, playful, or loves to cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home until you’re reunited. Because every dog deserves to be treated like family. ❤️🐾 When your dog is with me, they’ll receive: • Lots of love, attention, and companionship • Daily walks and playtime • A calm, safe, and comfortable home • Consistent routines based on your instructions • Plenty of cuddles (if they enjoy them!) • Daily photo and video updates so you can see how much fun they’re having I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else because I’ve been in your shoes. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is being cared for with the same love, patience, and kindness I gave my own dogs.
About: I truly love animals, and I have real hands-on experience that helps me care for pets of all ages and personalities. I also have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and large breeds. In my home town, I cared for Great Danes, so big dogs don’t intimidate me at all I’m confident, calm, and know how to handle them safely. Overall, I’m sweet, patient, and truly dedicated to making every pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can give pets my full attention and adjust easily to your needs. I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, walks, feeding, medication, and extra cuddle time. I love staying active, so taking dogs out for walks and playtime naturally fits into my daily routine. My open availability lets me focus on each pet individually and make sure they’re getting the care, love, and consistency they deserve. In my home, I make sure every pet has a safe, comfortable space. I have dog crates available, a fully fenced yard for outdoor time, and I always supervise pets when they’re outside. I keep a calm, clean environment and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications they need. When I care for pets in my client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention to detail. I focus on keeping your pet’s normal routine, giving them affection, play, and structure. I send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing.
“Brittany was great with our pup! This was the first time we had left her so we were a little nervous of course. Brittany checked in and sent us updates at least once a day and Opal even jumped in a mud puddle right before Brittany was going to leave and she stayed to give her a bath :)”

Janel has stayed at my places and watch my boy Ollie many times now. I am so thankful to have someone to trust while I’m away. She always leaves my home very clean and takes care of everything. I always know Ollie will be loved and well taken care of with her. I would recommend her over and over!

The average cost of House Sitting in Arnold is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 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 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 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.

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.
