“Really great. Lots of pictures. Extremely responsive and good with the pets. House was immaculate (cleaner than I left it, which was unnecessary but very kind). Would definitely book again.”
“Nicole stayed at our place to watch our cat for almost two weeks and did a fantastic job! She was responsive and checked in regularly, and we came home to a happy cat. Our cat is very social and needs a lot of interaction and playtime, and it gave us peace of mind knowing Nicole was looking after him. Plus she took great care of our house and kept our plants alive. We’ll happily call on her again to take care of our cat when we’re out of town!”
“Zada was excellent at communicating with us throughout the time she watched Ursa. She sent so many great photos! She followed our care instructions well and was attentive to Ursa’s needs.”
“Anh was wonderful with our dog Wilbur- she sent us updates and was really sweet to him. She stayed over at our place which we appreciated because our pup can get a little anxious. Anh left us a very nice note and left the house very clean. We will definitely be reaching out to Anh again until the future for dog care!!”
“Chandler is the BEST! I have a rescue dog with anxiety and she doesn’t always warm up to people so it has been hard to find a pet sitter that my girl Sadie is comfortable with. Chandler was sweet and patient with Sadie and they were cuddling on the couch in no time. I got lots of pictures and felt 100% sure Sadie was in great hands.”
“If you're looking for peace of mind when you are away and can't take your non-human family member, look no further. Alex is really wonderful. He's a smart, caring well informed guy who will "get" the nuances of your baby's needs and behaviors and is truly interested in knowing this and being responsive to them. My 7 year old Lab had never been left with anyone but a family member and Alex was the perfect substitute ! Happy to chat with you as well if you a verbal reference !”
“We have a senior dog & a puppy who both can be very particular & have tons of energy. They loved their time with Nia. She took great care of them as well as our home. Nia even came by to meet us & our fur babies before we went out of town. 10/10 experience & highly recommend her!”
“Jayla was amazing, she took great care of my furry best friend and my home. She sent regular, wonderful updates so I could tell my pup was happy and safe, and allowed me to really enjoy my time away. I would absolutely trust her to watch my pup again and recommend her!!”
“We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with John. He took great care of Ace and updated us frequently. He was immediately responsive to our booking request and very professional. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter, and I plan to request him again in the future.”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with Parker! From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable and confident that Parker was in great hands. She was attentive, caring, dependable, and treated Parker like she was her own. Parker was happy and well cared for when I returned, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s not always easy trusting someone new with your dog, but Sarah completely exceeded my expectations. I’m so glad we found her and will definitely be booking with her again. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and reliable sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I grew up with many pets. For example, I’ve had 6 birds, 3 hamsters, 1 dwarf gerbil, 1 leopard gecko, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and possibly more. I currently have 2 dogs. Both are rescues. Jasper is 2 years old and I’ve had him since he was about a month old if even that, and Raleigh who is 7 now. I’ve had her since she was 2. Aside from the doggy babies, I also currently have a brown anole that I took in from Florida. His name is Tommy and I’ve had him for 4 months now. He was a baby when I found him. I also have 2 fish, Gumball and Penny. I personally believe all animals are babies. I’ve also pet sit for family members before. I’m currently working part time and I am also a freshman in College. I do have a good bit of free time, and because I don’t live alone I have people home to help take care of my furry and scaled friends, where as some people may need some extra help that I’d be able to provide! I was raised right. I’m respectful, do not cross boundaries, and know better than to disrespect clients (human and animal, of course!) I’m a big empath, I love animals beyond comprehension. I’m a vegetarian that’s working my way to veganism if that can show you how empathetic I am. I also cry while watching Ratatouille. I love walking, I love talking to animals, I treat animals as if they are literal babies because they are just too cute!
“Marcus and his wife watched our dog and cat for almost two weeks. They did a phenomenal job taking care of them both. My dog is very attached to me, and gets a bit of separation anxiety when we are away, so I was worried. Marcus kept him busy and sent so many photos and I could tell he was happy! Our cat, who is a little diva, definitely liked them being at our house and they gave her just the right amount of attention. This is the first time I have done a house sitter for this amount of time and I would definitely book Marcus again, because I came home to two happy and healthy pets!”
“My senior dog has a lot of medical and behavioral needs, and it’s hard for me to feel comfortable leaving him with a sitter. With Bria, not only did she seem to understand and love my old man, but she used her vet tech skills to administer all of his meds and closely monitor his respiratory rate. She flagged a heart failure episode early and worked with my dog’s cardiologist over the phone to adjust his mediation dosage to ensure he was stable while I was in flight. Bria’s expertise, reliable communication and nurturing personality were a godsend for my dog and me. I would definitely rebook and trust her implicitly. Would highly recommend, especially to go above and beyond for dogs with special needs.”
“Gio is absolutely wonderful. She takes Daphne and Samson out every week and also stayed with them this weekend while I was away, and I cannot say enough good things about her. She is incredibly kind, dependable, communicative, and genuinely cares about them. I came home to two very happy, relaxed dogs who had clearly been loved and spoiled all weekend. Daphne and Samson both adore her, and I always feel comfortable knowing they’re in her care. I’m so grateful to have found Gio and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Amber was awesome! Watched my home, dog, and two cats for 10 days while I was out of the country. She did an excellent job communicating, and sent great pictures of the pets every day. House and pets were well taken care of, I would definitely hire her again.”
“Jasmine is one of the most caring and conscientious petsitters we've ever had! Our dog can be difficult and shy with new people but she absolutely loved Jasmine, and Jasmine was so patient with her. Jasmine took the time to understand both our cat and our dog's routines and quirks. She also sent us lots of cute pics of them while we were gone. I'd recommend Jasmine to anyone!”

Corraly did a FANTASTIC job caring for our sweet boy Prince and home while away for a week long vacation celebrating our 1st year marriage anniversary, and we could not have been more pleased with her services. This was our first time working with Corraly and she made a quick bond with Prince that clearly grew during the days they spent together. She texted daily updates and included lovely photos of their time spent together in our home and during long walks and was super responsive throughout her stay. We (including Prince) 100000% highly recommend Corraly and look forward to her future dogsitting stay 🤎 🖤
Meg was great with our pup while we were away for Thanksgiving week. She house sat for us, handled all care instructions to the T, and gave our pup lots of attention and play. It was great to come home to a happy pup and a clean, neat house, just as we left it. She was communicative and provided regular updates. We won’t hesitate to use Meg again!
I can’t say enough good things about Sabrina! From the moment we met, it was clear our dogs were in loving and capable hands. She went over and beyond in every possible way—sending regular updates, photos, and even taking extra time to make sure the house was spotless when we returned. Our pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for (they might have been a little disappointed to see us come home!). It’s such a relief to find someone so trustworthy and genuinely caring. We came back to a tidy home, extra tlc to our home and wagging tails. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets and your home as if they were their own, I can’t recommend Sabrina highly enough. We’ll definitely be booking again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Arbor
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Arbor on Rover is $33.3 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 10,910 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Arbor. 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 Lake Arbor 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 Lake Arbor 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 Lake Arbor 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.
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.
