“Janel is especially good at communication and gauging her arrivals/departures with us. Of course she’s great with the dogs and all that. I love working with her, and I’d recommend her to anyone.”
“Monica was great with my cat while I was away for over 2 weeks! I got lots of updates and pictures, she made sure he got his meds and plenty of cuddles, and I came home to a happy cat and a clean house. She was also very flexible and understanding when my travel plans got shifted and when my cat got a new prescription after I left. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Katarinna! She was punctual and attentive to everything we asked of her. She took great care of our pets (2 cats, 1 dog) and our home. We had a cat that was having some health issues and Katarinna had experience with how to handle the situation and put us at ease. We will definitely be working with her again!”
“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.”
“Taylor was great! I reached out rather last minute, and she responded right away. She sent me tons of photos and helpful updates. I could tell my kitties were well taken care of while I was away ❤️”
“Jennifer did a phenomenal job with our quite nervous, shy Corgi. Our dog became comfortable with her on the first visit and she followed all instructions explicitly. I would definitely recommend her and will use her services again. She seems to really enjoy caring for animals and is very conscientious.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up helping care for my own pets, taking on a larger role in their daily routines about six years ago. Over the past two years, I’ve also provided reliable pet and house sitting for family and friends. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and pet transportation. I have experience with both small and large dogs (growing up with a miniature sheltie and a black lab)! As the families I’ve provided pet care services for have grown, I also have gained experience providing care for senior dogs. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make them feel comfortable while you’re away! I am currently working part-time (7-3 Friday through Sunday), so I have a free schedule during the week to take care of your pets while you’re at work or away! I also am available afternoons Friday-Sunday for walks and check ins. When caring for pets in a clients home, I focus on keeping their routines as consistent as possible. I am attentive to detailed instruction and preferences, and take safety very seriously. I am mindful of keeping doors and gates secure, monitoring pets during walks or outdoors, and making sure their (and your) space stays clean and safe. I respect your home just as much as your pet, and I make sure to communicate regularly with updates for your peace of mind.
“Sabrina is absolutely amazing! She has watched our pups multiple times now and each time we get back home the boys are so happy. She sends great updates and I feel happy knowing the boys are with her! M”
About: Hi! my name is Tiana! I am 22 years old and am currently studying at the Ohio state university for my bachelor’s in pre-veterinary animal sciences. I have grown up around pets all my life and have experience with all different kinds of animals! From cats and dogs to even birds and horses. I have also worked in a veterinary clinic so I have experience administering oral medication and caring for those who may have extra needs! *I OFFER LIVE-IN PET SITTING SERVICES* *message me for pricing* I will accommodate based off of your pet’s current schedule! I build my weekly schedule around pet care, ensuring every animal receives dependable attention and individualized care. I will send texts, pictures, and videos of all activities that your pet and I will do. From playing together in your living room to even snagging a pic of potty time! I’ll make sure that you know your pet is being cared for and safe. I will also give daily updates and tell you what we did for that day!
“Marissa was great! She saved me after a last minute cancellation. She is very communicative. She sent pictures of my cats constantly and would let me know when she was leaving in and out of the home. It looked like my cats really enjoyed her company and she enjoyed theirs. I would definitely book her again.”
“Ashely was incredible!!! She gave great updates and was very easy to communicate with. My dog loved her! She also took fantastic care of my apartment while I was gone. I will for sure be booking with Ashley again! Thanks for everything Ashley!!!”
“Lauren was SO wonderful!!! I rarely need a dog sitter because I usually have family members in town, so I’m always a little nervous to have a sitter but I didn’t feel nervous or stressed for one second! My dog clearly loved her (I think she secretly likes Lauren better than me???). Lauren sent the perfect amount of pictures that made me know Jelly was safe and cared for and having the time of her life. Thank you Lauren you rule!!”
About: I’m a dog (and cat!) mom looking for a fun way to keep myself accountable on my health journey! I’m a 41 year old mom to a teenage boy, a 9 year old yorkie mix (Severus), and 10 cats! I’ve been on a journey to better myself for the past year and one thing I make sure I do is get my steps in. I thought it would be a great idea to put myself out there to make some new dog friends and help keep me (and the doggos) getting our exercise in! I work full time from home Monday through Friday from 7am to 330pm. My walking availability is any time after my work day through the week, and open to anytime on the weekends. For sitting/drop ins, please inquire. For boarding, pets will be with me all day and night. I have 10+ years of experience caring for animals, my house is full of love, treats and toys! If you book me for services, you can be assured that same love will be given to your furry friend. Feeding schedules followed as provided by pet parent to ensure your pup is getting the required amount of food. My dog eats freely except when I’m boarding as to not disrupt any schedules. I currently have one dog (Severus), who is a yorkie mix and 10 total cats, some indoor/outdoor/mix. Our home gets hectic but we love our animals and can’t imagine life any differently.
“Rebecca did a wonderful job with our one year old German Shepherd. She was professional, thorough and very responsive to me when I would check in. I appreciated her staying with our boy and will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Dominic was very professional and great a communicating while I was away from my dogs. He made me feel very comfortable that they would be well taken care of.”
“I can't say enough about how great Laila was in talking care of my baby Cinder. First, she's extremely professional and very friendly. It felt like welcoming an old family member into the home. If your inexperienced with dog boarding/sitting, she knows what to ask to make sure your pet gets the best care. Next, she probably took better care of Cinder than I do. She took time to train her and played with her for hours as needed. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have chosen Laila for my student trip. Soooo many amazing photos and updates. I'm going to have to have her watch Cinder again soon or the pup will probably be upset.”
“I could see the love that Kylie had for animals when we first met with her. She came by twice in advance of our trip to get the dogs, especially Miller, comfortable with her. The only thing that keeps me from giving her 5 stars is that except for the first day, I had to initiate any check-ins with her. Once I did that, she sent pictures, updates, etc. She did say her messages were not going through but I would expect, since she had my number, she would send text updates. I hope she gets that resolved, as I would book with her again.”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Arnold on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,459 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.
