“Maegan was perfect for what we needed! Love, play, medication support, even some plant watering while we were away. Dogs loved her so much they kept going into our guest room looking for her after got home for our trip!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. Ive always had pets in the house and I have always had responsibilities to take care of them. Our 14 year old husky/heeler mix just crossed the rainbow bridge but we had him since he was 8 weeks old so dont worry if your babies are loud and rowdy I can handle it. I also have a sweet 2 year old corgi who is basically a toddler and a t-rex combined. I have two adorable cats who I love. I have house sat for family members for the past 5-6 years and love getting to spend time with their animals. I currently work full time but I leave early (usually around 6:30 am) and get back early (usually about 4:00pm) but weekends im all yours!! So there is plenty of time for play! I will follow your schedule as needed. I know how important it is to keep things at home as stable as possible when it comes to your pets! But dont worry there will be lots of love and playtime!!
“Zoe stayed at our house and took fabulous care of Finn while we were on an Alaskan cruise. She sent pictures and updates of Finn daily. He always looked happy & well taken care of. It was great to have her watch him. He’s a big cuddle bug & loved to cuddle with Zoe. Our house was just as clean as it was when we left it. Zoe even offered to wash sheets & towels before we got home. Will definitely book Zoe again next time we go on vacation.”
“Karla was very helpful and considerate to Jonah while stopping by and watching him. She frequently informed me of whenever she walked him, fed him, and played with him. Highly recommend if you have a dog with trauma!”
“Jillian was the BEST! She did a fantastic job with our dog and made us feel completely comfortable. Our dog went to her immediately upon meeting and was excited to be with her. She’s trustworthy and has great communication skills. She kept us updated through the whole process. We will definitely be using her in the future. If you are looking for someone who’s competent and has integrity, she’s your gal.”
“The very best!! We’ve had great success with Rover sitters and Jacob is right up there at the top! Took excellent care of our dog and our house! Cleaned the kitchen, changed out the sheets, caring and humorous daily reports about Louie’s day. Pleasant and respectful. We found Jacob to be fully trustworthy. We highly recommend him!”
“Maggie was amazing! She took such good care of Maverick! He is a young pup with a lot of attention needs. She handled herself professionally and gave so much care and attention to Maverick. I will absolutely use her again!”
About: I’ve worked with animals most of all my life. Grew up with a lot of pets. I’ve worked in animal boarding and in a grooming salon. Worked at a vet hospital as a receptionist and have a huge passion for animals. I’m that one friend that immediately hangouts with the pets at a party and always helping close friends and family with dog sitting. I have always connected with animals and have had a passion to help or support animals. I’ve worked in a lot of different animal jobs. I love being able to care and help people with their pets. I believe with experience you pickup on how to care for animals and to be aware of animals behaviors. It’s key to always stay alert and aware of how they act or behave in your care. Making sure you are always watching them like you would your own.
“Jennifer was amazing! She was very enthusiastic, attentive, communicative, and went above and beyond to make our pups feel comfortable and well-taken care of. She reached out often with updates and questions, and overall we felt that she really cared and connected with our dogs. Would definitely recommend!”
“Nathalia is the best! This is my first experience on Rover and she did not disappoint! She kept my 2 month old puppy entertained which can be tough so i’m so grateful for that! She made sure to update me on how my puppy was doing and did everything I asked perfectly. So nice and would definetly have her house sit again!”
“Annie was such a sweetheart and so loving and understanding for our pup! He doesn’t get to experience new people too frequently and loved Annie from the jump. We would absolutely recommend her to other dog owners!”
About: I have owned and cared for pets my entire life! My current family consists of two cats, a dog, fish, and even an axolotl! I have cared for the pets of my friends and families for years and I am looking to expand my resume outside of my immediate circle. I work part time and I’m available all day/night on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I work Tuesday-Friday and am available before and after work on those days. I will work with you to ensure everything is done correctly with your pet! I am flexible and open to any routines your pet has.
“Christine was amazing with our Frenchies! She was super communicative which was appreciated while we were away and missing our “kids”. She sent daily photos/videos and updates of their well-being and activities. She was very active in giving the pups the exercise that they needed and never fell short of their much needed cuddles and attention. Christine followed instructions extremely well, even with a complicated meal time routine and separate needs for each dog. She also easily navigated the instructions of our home, including the doggy cam, etc. She left her home in excellent shape, looking as if no one was ever here. I would highly recommend her to anyone for excellent care of your fur baby and your home! Thanks Christine!”
“Good communication and flexibility when I needed to change the dates. Kept me updated and paid good attention to my pup! Left my place looking great, thank you!”
“Meisha is our go-to sitter and always does SUCH an incredible job taking care of our babies! Most recently, she stayed at our apartment to watch our cat and pup for a few days while we were out of town. I always get the cutest photos and updates from Meisha, and you can really tell she spoils them like they are her own ☺️ Really can’t recommend her enough!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,544 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arthur. 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 Arthur 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 Arthur 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Arthur 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.
